Electrician was knowledgeable and professional. He was helpful on the phone while I was describing the issue and personable while doing the work. He was running a little late for my appointment time due to a previous appointment but contacted me to let me know and finished in the window of time I had available.
Description of Work: Replaced GFCI outlets with a better type.

Had Chaddwick come over and inspect the house electrical. We were having trouble going through bulbs quickly and it seemed some appliances weren't functioning properly. (For example, crock pots were cooking foot to quickly.) We thought maybe we need some kind of line conditioner for the house or maybe there were some wiring faults. Turns out everything checked out fine. House voltage was spot on, and he checked and tightened the wiring in both breaker boxes. Rather than try and sell us some expensive services, he suggested trying some better quality bulbs. Glad to find an honest tech with suggestions not centered around him making money, but rather what he really thinks would solve the problem. He just charged the standard service call, nothing extra.
Description of Work: Electrical inspection/service call went well.

A tree fell on my electric line from the street. Chadwick came out in a few hours, handled all of the City of Austin permits and inspections, let me know what was going to happen, what I had to plan for, Suggested carpenters for the damaged garage. I was only without power for about 24 hours. Excellent work!
Description of Work: Elite Electric managed the City of Austin turning off the power, replaced the meter box, repaired the riser, scheduled the inspection to get power turned back on. Re-attached the electric line after the damaged garage was repaired and painted.

Called on a Tuesday to get an estimate on some work on our patio and master bedroom. Chadwick called back right away, but said that he wasn't able to come out until Saturday morning. He showed up a half hour late, said that he was late for another appointment so need to hurry back out. After spending less than 10 minutes looking at the three areas we wanted work done, he said he would call or email with a quote. Never heard anything back. He was a nice guy, but am really surprised by all of the good reviews. Ended up having to have another company come out and do all of the work. Disappointing...
Description of Work: None. Never called back with a quote.

Very fast response time, professional, and helpful!
Description of Work: Elite Electric came out to check on an outlet that kept tripping. He immediately found two wires that were crossed and fixed the problem. Since he was able to fix the outlet so quickly he even inspected a light fixture that was giving us trouble!

Follow up on a previous report. We enthusiastically recommended Chadwick based on a Saturday call he made in response to a problem, discovered the problem and fixed it. We asked him to schedule a follow up check of all the outlets in the house, and he never responded.
Description of Work: Excerpt from a previous comment. "We immediately asked him to come back when when he could schedule it, and check all the outlets in the house in case the builders workmanship (failure to properly connect the outlet) had been done on other outlets." When Chadwick came on Dec 3, in response to all of the outlets and lights in our bathroom dropping off line, he discovered an electrical outlet in an adjacent room that had not been connected properly (the screws attaching the wiring to the outlet hadn't been tightened). Since this was the second example of incorrect wiring by the builders contractor, we asked him to schedule a return call and check all the outlets in the house. He failed to come as scheduled, and in response to my call, said he had another commitment and would re-schedule. Since then , Nada.

Chadwick was great to work with. He showed up right on time and got right to work. It didn't take him long to figure out and fix the problem. As a bonus he didn't mind me watching over his shoulder and asking endless questions.

Very impressed, very satisfied, and enthusiastically recommended.
Description of Work: On a Saturday morning, the electicity went out in our bathroom. I used Angie's List to find electricians and started calling those who were not listed as "Closed" on Saturdays. I left messages at several firms and got no response. Chadwick returned my call in about an hour, suggested several troubleshooting tips to see if I could fix the problem myself and agreed to come in two hours. He came as promised, found a wall outlet that the connections hadn't been tightened down when the house was built 12 years ago, pigtailed the connection making it better than code (rather than having the circuit pass through the outlet) and charged me the same rate that he would charge for a weekday service call. We immediately asked him to come back when when he could schedule it, and check all the outlets in the house in case the builders workmanship (failure to properly connect the outlet) had been done on other outlets. Very impressed, very satisfied, and enthusiastically recommended.

We recently moved to Cedar Park and upon hooking up the laundry equipment found that our dryer's electrical cord was not compatible with the wall outlet in the new laudry room. We found Elite listed on Angue's list and called Chadwick. He was extremely pleasent and understood the problem immediately. He asked if we wanted to change the outlet in the wall or change out the cord on the dryer. When asked which he would recommend - he said changing the dryer cord...because ay future dryers would still work with the 4-prong outlet which was the new standard. Upon arrival he went right to work and had exactly the needed cord to make the change-out. After the cord had been changed Chadwick tested the dryer to assure that it was operating properly and heating as it should. Overall this was a highly satisfactory repair situation. We will call Chadwick for any possible electricla needs in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced 220 electrical 3-prong cord to dryer to make it compatible with the 4-prong outlet in the wall.

The contact person's name is Chadwick. He gave us a very thorough report, and he fixed everything was done improperly. He fixed everything for us. He pervades everything for us. It was a major job. Sometimes, it is very hard to get hold of him.
Description of Work: Elite Electric checked all the wirings, and they looked at some specific areas of our house around two weeks ago.

Over the phone, Chadwick gave me a couple of helpful hints to check the right GFI protectors (in the garage not the bathroom, hmmm) but when that did not work, he sent an associate out. Andrew showed me what the issue was, fixed it and was very polite. They don't take credit card except via paypal (extra fee) so I mailed him a check because they didn't mention it beforehand. I would call them again for service.
Description of Work: I called Chadwick and needed same day service on a couple of non-working outlets in the bathroom.

I called Chadwick and in less than 24 hours he was there and did outstanding work in about an hour. He fixed the problems after doing a through diagnosis of the situation. Friendly and reliable - you can't ask for more. Next time I want to put in anything electrical, I am calling Chadwick first. He's also my new gun dealer as well as he has a FFL and a good knowledge of firearms. My lights work, I have a new gun dealer and a new gun buddy. Worth the money and time.
Description of Work: I created a mess with my electrical system in my home after installing some dimmer switches. As a result of my poor attempt at being an electrician I discovered a wiring problem with one light switch that was there from when the house was built and was complicated by my putting in the new switch. I also failed to properly complete the circuit when installing another switch which caused several outlets to stop working.

My husband was here when he did the work; said it went very well, he was very professional, and he made the extra suggestions for our safty. I felt he was very respectful, very personalable, and professional. He seemed to know what he was doing, and was very timely. He did his work in a timely manor. His price was a couple of hundered dollars less than any other quote I got, so we felt his prices were reasonable.
Description of Work: He put in a 2-20 vult plug in our garage, and added extra fuses to our fuse box. This is for our tredmill pool in our garage. He's the one that suggested the extra thing to turn of the electricity is there was a surge for our protection.

These guys are professional, fantastic, and I highly recommend them. It is rare to find guys focused on getting the job done well and a great work ethic to boot. Five stars! I will use them again for my electrical/data needs and will recommend to my neighborhood friends. P.S. Ask Chadwick if Andrew is available.
Description of Work: At the last minute before cabinet installation in my gameroom, realized I needed to move electrical & data connections in the room. Called Chadwick and asked if there was any way they could get to it the same day (Thur -- cabinets were going in on Fri). He called me back a few minutes later and told me one of his guys was willing to work the evening. Andrew came that evening and worked until midnight -- came back on Saturday afternoon to do some additional work. Chadwick called and checked on the work on Friday. Work was top notch. Had 2 sconces installed in my dining room, and Andrew figured out how to wire them in without any visible sheetrock cuts (very tricky -- on a bay window!). By the way, Andrew was highly knowledgeable on AV & data wiring -- had him do some additional Cat 6 runs in some tricky drop-down areas. Work was perfect.

Not well. Please see the discription of services performed.
Description of Work: Prior to joining Angies list, I found Chadwick, Elite Electric through Yelp. I called him on Saturday, September 5, 2009, left a message and he very promptly returned my call. He came out on Labor Day, Monday, September 7 to look at my situation. He understandably did not have the material to make the repairs that day, so we set an appointment for Wednesday, September 9. He called me on Tuesday to say that he would not be able to come on Wednesday, so we postponed the appointment to Thursday, September 10 and I worked from home that day to meet him. He called Thursday afternoon to say that he could not make the appointment and we reset it for Saturday, September 12. Late Saturday morning he called to ask if it was raining (which it was) and stated that the work (outside electrical) could not be done in the rain (understandably). After establishing that my breaker box was located outside, he suggested that he come to the house without me so that I would not have to stay home from work--he was not definite on which day. The week of Sunday, September 13 came and went with no call from Chadwick, so I called him on Thursday evening, September 14 to see if he had forgotten me. He said that he would come the next day. He has not yet called or shown up.

Response from GenTex Generators
I am sorry I dropped the ball on your project. Your call came in with an overwhelming number of other calls when the heavy rains started. I try my hardest, but unfortunately in your case we missed one. I wish you would have called me back; I certainly would have done anything I could to make the mistake right with you. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Elite Electric provided excellent customer service. The work was completed in the time they estimated. They cleaned up after themselves and didn't leave a big mess even though they had to cut into my drywall in the ceiling to install the recessed lighting in the master bathroom and kitchen and to install the new outlet. Chadwick made sure we were satisfied with the work at all stages of the project.
Description of Work: Elite Electric removed a box light in my kitchen and installed 8 recessed lights. In addition, they removed a recessed light over my sink and installed a pendant light. They also installed a new light switch. They installed five other lights around my house that I already had purchased. In my master bathroom, they installed four new recessed lights and a new outlet.
