My disposal quit working and I thought I needed a plumber and called the one I had used previously (from Angie's List). He came out and let me know it was an electrical problem, charged me and left. I called A-1. Michael and Michelle were most efficient, came in assessed the problem and went to work fixing it. They are a super team and I will definitely be in touch for future electrical needs.

I have used this company twice, and I will be using them from now on. Mike really knows his trade, Journeyman Electrician. His partner is a good helper too. I honestly love them, get's right to work, and answers their clients questions. I would recommend this duo to anyone needing electrical work done; and too, as for Mike--he must have been top of the class. I want to thank both of you for doing such fine work. Give A1 Electric a call for your electrical needs. You will definitely be very satisfied. I could write a book here so I'm going to stop. :)

Response from A1 Electric
Thanks for the great review [member name removed], but would like to make a correction-Mike is a Master Electrician & a TN State Licensed Electrical Contractor, with over 20+ yrs of experience. (Journeyman have only about 4yrs of experience.) It was great working with you & let us know if we can be of service again! :)

Michael and his wife Michelle arrived promptly and immediately went to work. Rarely have I encountered contractors that work so diligently and make the most of their time. They vacuumed any dust that was created, removed all their trash and left the work areas looking good as new. My requests were completed professionally and my husband and I are very impressed. We will be contacting A1 Electric for all our future electrician needs.

They had some work that they could do that day. However, it led to a lot more work. There were some lines in my front yard and the work was something I was not ready to have done yet. They were responsive and got back in touch with me to reschedule. However, I have not yet got back in touch with them.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for two hours of electrical labor. They completed one home labor so far. They located a recessed light switch that I was unable to find. They diagnosed an electrical problem with my lamp post as well.

The project was completed in a short time, Michael Ivester and his wife were very professional and completed the first job quickly; no issues. I have all ready used their services again to install another dead ceiling fan...again, the job was completed quickly they took care to try to keep everything as clean as possible and they took the old ceiling fan with them. I really like the fact that this is a husband and wife team that work so well together!

These folks are really worth hiring. They spent all the time needed to fish a cable line through our walls to the location we wanted for the TV. They also replaced two ceiling fans. They were friendly and professional and did a fantastic job. We will definitely have them back for future electrical needs.

Michael and Michele are an extraordinarily efficient team. They're prompt, exceptionally friendly and personable, and know what they're doing. I especially appreciate their integrity. I was afraid we might need a new electrical box: they probably could have sold us one. They told us that would be a very expensive job (certainly far more than the deal we had purchased) and that we did not need that. So you may save money with A1 Electric. They are both friendly and personable, a joy to have in our home. We would not hesitate to use them again.
Description of Work: We had several overloaded breakers in our old house, built in 1922. Master electrician Michael and his wife, Michele, who works with him as a team, arrived promptly as scheduled. Although not herself licensed. Michele probably could be and the way they work together means work is done with particular efficiency and reliability. They added extra breakers so the problems would be corrected.

Michael Ivester and partner were early which was fine with me. Very professional in every way, nicest couple I've ever had for doing electrical work for me. Definitely knew their trade, did great work all around, and in an expeditious way. I plan to use this company again, again, and again. VERY SATISFIED!! It was a pleasure meeting both of these fine people that got the work done , and well satisfied with the outcome.

It was really good. I thought I was going to need a whole new board, but they were able to downsell me into a cheaper solution. I still have an hour to an hour's work as it only took them a short time to fix the issue. They sent out 2 electricians.

We just could not connect schedule-wise. The first date didn't work out and then I needed the work done sooner than the next appointment, so I requested a refund.

The electrician honored the amount paid for the service/time even though the date for performing the service had passed. I don't recall if it was just that I had called him late, or if we had trouble getting together. He had an "assistant" who was less certain as an electrician. I'm not sure if she was a relative, or a fully trained electrician.
Description of Work: Light switches and plugs replaced. Had to pull one "new" line because there was a problem with the power to the switch rather than there being a problem IN the switch. That was considerably more work than merely replacing switches/plugs. He may have worked a bit longer, but did not charge more. I believe that his regular charges are significantly less than a full service electrical company.

Mike arranged a convenient appointment time. Called when he was coming--arriving as scheduled. Went right to work, methodically locating and taking care of each issue. He never stopped, moving smoothly from one problem to the next--resolving each one. This visit was purchased as a special deal for 2 hours of service, but he stayed longer to finish up and make sure that I had everything I needed. He patiently answered all my questions. Very knowledgeable and professional. I would certainly recommend his services.
Description of Work: Replaced switches, rewired incorrect wiring, installed spotlight on porch and rewired non-working switch, tightened plug receptacles--found what the issue was with each situation. Had spare materials on hand that he used to replace when needed.
