I'm sorry sir, but I do not even recognize your name--and we haven't had pricing as low as $39.00 since the 1990's. You surely have us confused with another company. Please do call US at 512-444-9700 and let us help you if we can. Regards, Debi, for AC Electric— "Quality With Integrity Since 1984"

Description of Work: After I bought the deal, they said they couldn't get to me for weeks, maybe months because they were too busy. Very unprofessional. I had to request a refund from Angie's List. They shouldn't be offering deals if they can't fulfill them.

Dear Ms. Customer— We are so sorry that you got caught in the brief time between our cancellation of our offering and the actual removal of it from the Angie's List website. As soon as we realized that we had gotten too busy to accept any new work for the moment, we stopped the special offer. We would have done you more of a disservice by trying to schedule your electrical work while unable to complete it within your timeframe. Please try to understand the limitations under which we have to work. We love our Angie's List customers, and wish we could help every one of them. We hope you will accept our apologies for any inconvenience. Sincerely, Debi—for AC Electric 512-444-9700 acelec@gmail.com

Response from AC Electric
Hello, Dear Customer— Thanks for the opportunity to explain what appeared to you to be careless work practices. Please be assured that our training included "how to work with live wires." Here is an explanation of what you might see when AC Electric technicians are in your home: We identify the current-carrying wire and insulate it for our safety as we work on problem areas. We also often leave the power on to test where the current is going. We are not putting ourselves in danger because we understand how electricity works and how to avoid harm. Other homeowners sometimes complain when we must turn their power off and they have to reset all their clocks and computers. We try not to inconvenience our customers as we take the time necessary to do the best job possible for them. We appreciate your concern for our safety. We also appreciate your trust in AC Electric to solve your electrical issue. Sincerely, Debi (with Mike's input), for AC Electric "Meeting the electrical needs of Central Texans for over 30 years."

Description of Work: They came out to perform a couple of hours of very small electrical repairs. All went smoothly, although they seemed rushed, but they used the wrong device on the an outside receptacle. It should have been an all-weather in-use bubble cover type receptacle instead of what they installed. Just a code requirement.

Response from AC Electric
Good morning, lost customer-- I was very disappointed to find out that we have let you down, as it was totally unintentional. The process of reviewing an inspection report is common practice, and works very efficiently--at least it does when we receive the email. It seems that yours never arrived in our inbox, and therefore, obviously could not be responded to. I am so sorry that there was that confusion, and that it reflected so poorly on AC Electric. We try so hard to meet the needs of our customers (and potential customers), that it often leaves us scratching our heads when there is a snafu like you experienced. Please accept our apologies for this incident. We are truly sorry to have inconvenienced you. Sincerely, Debi for AC Electric Meeting the electrical needs of Central Texans since 1984

It was OK.
Description of Work: They replaced one of my kitchen ceiling fluorescent light fixtures after diagnosing it had a broken ballast. Good job and I was satisfied. I could have saved $ if I had purchased the light fixture beforehand, but didn't know it was needed and avoided the hassle of returning it if necessary.

Mr. Short arrived earlier than expected. He greeted us warmly and asked how he could help us. I explained that we needed to replace a faulty electrical outlet in our hall bathroom. He checked it with his meter and suggested that we replace it with a GFCI outlet that would be better equipped to handle the additional load of a hair dryer and curlers that were usually being used in there. His work took about 20 minutes and he checked everything out to make sure it worked as expected prior to leaving. We have been very pleased as the outlet has performed flawlessly for us ever since.
