AC Electric

Mike and Debbie were good to work with for the street to house electrical cable mast replacement. It ended there. I had a circuit breaker opening on a house circuit, indicating a short. Debbie said she'd pencil me in for a service call when they were in my area. Weeks passed. Then Debbie called to say her electrician would be driving by my house on Memorial Day and would make a service call. I waited all day, a no-show, without a courtesy call. Soon after, the stay cable supporting the mast had pulled out of the roof, leaving a hole in the roof and an unsupported mast. I called twice to get them to fix it and had no response. I can't recommend them.

Perfect. He did a great job and had no problems with his service or the work product. Mike was very accomodating as my schedule changed and had great communication about the time and date for his service. He was professional, thorough, diligent in getting the job done. I also liked that he was friendly and kind. He did the work for the quoted price. I asked him to take a quick look at something else and he did without charge. He also gave me a few ideas about hot tub installation - totally out of his scope but he's just that kind of nice guy to help if he can. I strongly recommend Mike and will call him forever more if I ever need further electrical work.

My experience with Mike was HORRIBLE! He was unprofessional and rude. Then he left abruptly, saying that he could not satisfy us without doing any work!

Their quote was quite a bit lower than the competition (by a few thousand dollars) but that didn't affect the work - their professionalism and work ethic was stellar. Work was performed on-time (only delay was from the city permit for the panel, not under their control). They went above and beyond to fix minor issues not covered in the original scope of work and were a pleasure to work with. Thanks, AC!

The electrician lived in the area so that was handy. He was able to come after hours and did an excellent job. He had to come back with an outside receptacle cover but otherwise was able to fix everything on the first pass. We will certainly use AC Electric again in the future.

When I called to schedule, I was given a window of 8:00-12:00. This was not great, but I was planning to be home in the morning, so I decided this was ok. On the day of the scheduled service, nobody showed up. About 1:30, I called and left a voicemail. I received a call back 30 minutes later and was told Mike was on his way. Again, nobody showed up. I called again around 3:30 and was told there was a miscommunication and Mike would not be able to make it. I understand miscommunications occur, but this happens way too much in this industry and has become the norm.

The electrician arrived on time and I explained what I wanted. I had all the lights in place, minus the wiring. I also had the motion detector switches, they provided only the electrical work. This was an Angie's Deal of two hours of labor for $99. The gentleman got that done within the time and I wished I had something else I needed done. He was courteous, explained to me what he did, or was doing and for the light switch that was acting up he explained that so I was reassured that I didn't have a wiring problem - the wire to the specific switch was not properly secured on one pole. I would/will use them again.

I wanted to like this company. I had high expectations based on the reviews here. Something must have changed. A one day job took three weeks. One electrician called in sick and that brought the entire process to a stand still. When he returned to work, he started new jobs instead of finishing mine. Only after multiple follow up phone calls did I get someone out to finish the work. This company seems very unorganized and poorly managed. It seems like they bid on far more work than they are equipped to handle. I would not do business with them again.

The work was done fine. Price seemed reasonable, compared to another estimate, but not a bargain, and first job was done fairly promptly. That is when problems started. I found it is a bad idea to try to communicate by email with Mike. I thought he had agreed to do job 2, but when I talked to him about it while working on job 1 he did not remember it, and said that he got too many emails to remember them all. (He uses email to send bills though.) Anyway, he did the work on job 2, again reasonable seeming price, though I did not get other bids, and reasonably promptly done. But then no final inspection for job 2. Send emails, Mike says okay, nothing happens, more email, no inspection. Finally I wise up and call office, and office manager gets it taken care of pronto. Maybe partly my fault for not calling sooner, but still. . . . Overall it was very frustrating. I probably would not use AC Electric again, though I would not discourage someone else from using as long as they were careful to follow up on the phone and not rely on email. Totally separately, unrelated to AC Electric, when you have a permitted job done, always check with the city to see it has passed final inspection - you can do it on their website - and don't just take a contractor's word for it. It can be a real headache to reopen later.

I had a very positive experience with AC Electric. I was in need of an electrician because the plug on my dryer did not quite match the outlet that was in the wall. When I called AC Electric, Debi was very courteous, asked all of the appropriate questions, and said that she would try to have someone come out to my house by the end of the day (a promise which she kept). The technician (Troy) was excellent. Not only was he very knowledgeable and efficient, but he was also very courteous and great to work with. Indeed, after he finished putting in the outlet for my dryer, just as an afterthought, I asked him if he would mind moving a phone jack from one side of a wall to another. Without hesitation, he went out to his truck to get the necessary tools and came back and did the job at no additional cost. I will definitely contact AC Electric again the next time I am in need of an electrician!

Father and son team of Barry and Bobby performed the work with a positive, professional attitude. Very pleasant to deal with. Their work is excellent, too. Pricing is great. I got 3 estimates through Angie's List and they came in with the best offer. I would choose AC Electric again in a heart beat. The recessed lighting looks great. We are preparing to move, and Barry even gave me a name of a guy who can do minor touchup work on any nicks in my walls. Thank you AC Electric! Thank you Barry and Bobby!

it went very well. They were professional, on time, and efficient.

I contacted this company for service and they never called me back. I would have appreciated a short call saying they are not taking new clients or update on Angie's list. I am new to Angie's list and am very disappointed thus far.

Mike is a very knowledgeable and experienced and friendly electrician. He showed up promptly and fixed the problem in less than a half hour. His rates are more than fair. I will not hesitate to use him again and recommend him highly.

Debbie was great on the phone and made lots of suggestions to try and help us fix the problem before costs would be incurred. Troy was there in no time. Super nice ad professional. Explained the situation and how it needed to be resolved.

Mike came out on the day and time we scheduled. He and his assistant went right to the problems and fixed them both. He's a nice guy and he knows what he is doing. Smart, courteous, punctual and the price was fair. Thanks for the great service.

He is great. would give him an A+++ rating. He came in and went straight to the problem. He installed a green light to outlet so that it will not overheat. He told me to call him anytime I need him to.

It went wonderful! I called to schedule an appointment in the early afternoon and Mike agreed to come by that day. He arrived on time. He diagnosed the problems quickly and was able to fix everything. Two light switches needing replacing and replaced a previously incorrectly installed GFI outlet plug. I highly recommend this business!

It has been a while since I had him come out, but I do remember that I was not pleased. When he came over, the technician said that had bad knees and a back and I would have the get up into attic myself. He basically just stood in the bathroom and told me what to do while I installed the bathroom fan myself. The service was not good and I paid for services that I ended up completing on my own. I would never use his service or Angie’s List again.

I was happy with the technician that initially came out. He was very professional and easy to work with, and the end result of the job was good. I was much less impressed when I interacted with the owner -- he was much colder and less professional!

I went to a local lighting store and got a replacement LED bulb and this has solved my problem. There was no charge for this from AC Electric--only the cost of the bulb at the lighting store. I am very relieved to have this problem solved and to not worry about the possibility of fire from the hot bulb. If I need an electrician in the future, I will definitely call them.

All the repairs were done in a timely manner, professional etiquette, and seemed very knowledgeable and reliable. All of our electrical problems were taken care of and we have had no problems since :)

No compliants. He arrived on time and was friendly and professional.

Everything turned out well. The technician was very thorough, clearly explained the problem with the breaker box, and did a great job with the repairs. In addition, he was friendly and professional when dealing with us.

Also installed plug outlet for gas dryer. Only problem, they did not show me how the mark each breaker so that I would know which switch went to what part of the house, however the owner told me he would show me how to do that.
