Service call did not go very well at all. First scheduled service call was canceled due a large job and they could not send an electrician out on the first date. Second of all they did not show up at scheduled time on the re-scheduled date. I had to call them and ask where the electrician was (because it was 30 minutes past the scheduled time) and when was he going to arrive. At least 15 to 20 minutes later I was called back and said it was not on their schedule today but would try to get someone out right away. Upon arrival the electrician did not have new fixtures and did not have a ladder tall enough to reach the high ceiling. Then electrician on site said the price quoted was too low and it did not include working on tall ceilings. I just ask the man to leave my home.
Description of Work: Scheduled to install 2 new light fixtures and replace 1.

This is embarrassing. The mistake is all on us, from missing the appointment to misunderstanding the customers requested work. We did apologize to the home owner, for the inconvenience.

Had an appointment scheduled for 9am. Got a call at 10:30 saying they could not make it. THEY rescheduled for the following Tuesday at 9am. At 9:45 I called and was told I was not on the schedule despite the fact that is the day and time THEY gave me. Told them I will find someone else. Once I understand, twice is a problem

This light is very old and Robert had trouble even getting to the socket which was in very bad shape. He got it out and replaced and it's working great now. He was professional and fast and I will use Peerless again in the future when I need electrical work done.

This was an Angie's List deal we purchased to replace our old unsafe electrical panel. Initial Meeting: They were on time. They explained the scope of the project and the timeline. They accommodated my request for a specific brand and type of panel. We asked to have a permit pulled for the project, and they said it would be an additional $315. No problem since the permit was not included in the deal. We agreed to the price since I was not going to let a project of this scope go with out a sign-off from an inspector. After we requested the permit, Peerless told us we would need to have smoke detectors in every bedroom and all plugs in the garage and outside would have to be replaced with GFCI outlets. We were told if they did the work it would be about another $1000. We told them we would do the work. Before the meeting was over, I was asked if I was sure I wanted a permit pulled.... Day of work: Freddy shows up on time and gets right to work. Really nice guy, very professional, and did a great job. He did not mind me watching over his shoulder and asking questions. He finished early and started labeling all the circuits. Day of Inspection: The Inspector shows up and I am informed that Peerless must be there to open the panel in order to do the inspection. The inspector noticed that we would need an additional grounding rod and that the cold water ground has to be copper not aluminum. I thought this would be a great time to ask if we really needed the smoke detectors and GFCI outlets... Nope. Not required. And I was handled the Red Tag. I called Peerless to let them know what the inspector found and asked what the next step was. They seemed completely caught off guard that they would have to be there with the inspector. 4 Hours spent Waiting, $300 Spent with ADT on smoke detectors, $75 spent on GFCI outlets that I did not need. Day of Repair Work: Freddy shows up on time, makes the changes the inspector requested, and then hands me the bill for the additional work. Another 4 hours and $208 for the Cold Water ground. Re-Inspection: Inspector shows up, late of course, and with a few tweaks, we were handed the coveted Green Tag. Another 4 Hours of waiting Overall I am very pleased with the the quality of work and professionalism of Peerless, Freddy especially. What I was most frustrated with was Peerless' lack of knowing what was required by Dallas city code. I feel that if a company is selling its services for work that requires a permit, the company should know what is required to meet code in that city.
Description of Work: Replaced Electrical Panel, Replaced Cold Water ground, Added additional grounding rod.

We spent a fair amount of time waiting on the City inspector as well. Also the following is from The International Residential Code for Dwellings. Most City inspectors enforce this- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section R313.2.1 Alterations, repairs and additions This is an area that a lot of people overlook. If someone is altering or repairing the interior (not exterior) of a dwelling that requires a permit and the proper amount of working smoke alarms are not present in the dwelling, then the existing dwelling shall be equipped with smoke alarms as if it is a new structure. This would also hold true if you are adding onto the dwelling. Interconnecting of the smoke alarms and hard wiring of the smoke alarms are not required in this instance if it is technically infeasible to install them without the removal of the interior wall or ceiling finishes. The smoke alarms still must be installed, but can be battery operated only. There have been very few times where this has taken place due to the fact the average electrician and fish the wiring into the existing walls and ceilings will not problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We don't enjoy spending hours waiting on the inspector either, but city permits and inspections are there to protect us all from sub-standard work.

Loved everyone I worked with at Peerless. From Skip on the phone, to Al who came out to do the bid for the work, to Freddy and Allen who spent an entire day bringing the electric components of our home up to code, they were all very pleasant and easy to work with! We were working on a very tight timeline, too, and they were totally able to work with me on scheduling, which I really appreciate. We spent a fortune but I feel really confident because I know the work was done correctly and won't be a problem for a long, long time! Thanks, Peerless!
Description of Work: Removed existing planel, installed new panel with main and new breakers. installed proper grounding. Rerouted feeder wires for sub-panel. Installed 2 service disconnectors to water heaters. Checked and corrected grounding for several plubs. Installed ground-bar for sub-panel. Installed a bubble cover for an outdoor outlet, and corrected and a switch that was upside down.

We are very satisfied of the work and we feel more comfortable and safe since the work has been completed.
Description of Work: We recently purchased an older home built in 1966 and we were concerned the Electrical panel was outdated. We are new to Angie's List but we decided to purchase the Electrical Panel Upgrade Deal. The workers called ahead to let us know they were on their way and they were very professional and courteous. They worked all day to complete the work that was scheduled. There was an extra charge for additional lines and we were notified of it prior to any work beginning.

When I called to schedule, I left a voicemail that was returned within 15 minutes. The technicians were extremely helpful, explaining their work thoroughly before, during, and after. They were prompt, friendly, and courteous. I appreciated their careful work done in a reasonable amount of time, and their attention to detail. They gave me recommendations and quotes on work that we could choose to do in the future, but were careful to ask beforehand exactly what I wanted as an outcome to their visit. (I very much appreciated their concern for my bottom line.) I would definitely use this service provider again.
Description of Work: Two electricians replaced old wiring and installed the wires in a new, safer box (the box is 4" from water pipes, so they installed a plastic box as opposed to the existing metal box that had rusted). They also did work on a bathroom heater/vent/light system.

The job went well. The crew showed up basically on time and completed the work in one day. They were here literally all day digging a new trench across my back yard and installing a new line. They preserved as much of my grass sod as possible and both technicians were very nice. It was pricy but I really don't have comparable bids - so, for all I really know it may have been a bargain. They definitely worked hard for the money!

We have not had any issues since. Great job and nice people. We felt really good with how they handled the issue and we will definitely call Peerless back when we need future electrical work.
Description of Work: We originally purchased an electric panel inspection deal through Angie's list which was done in about March 2013. End of May we had one switch on the panel that kept shorting out. We called and they sent someone out to recheck the panel and checked all of the sockets in the house and fixed two loose wallplugs on one wall in the family room and, I believe, replaced the panel switch. There was no charge because we had had the panel inspection not too long before that.

Really great. The guys called and confirmed my appointment. They were in uniform and identified vehicle. They wore shoe protectors and were careful with tracking in dirt. They explained things really well and also showed me the work completed with warranty info on the surge protector to the electric panel. They labeled all the fuses and also showed them to me. They were really nice and installed a ac thermometer, and a wired fire/co2 detector. When the fire detector didn't work, they came back and installed a brand new one without extra charge
Description of Work: updated my electric panel checked fuses, added a surge protector to the elctric panel, installed 3 GFI outlets, secured my outdoor electric box to the house because it was loosely hanging and a major risk for fire/electrical problems.

I received a call from the electrician letting me know half an hour before he would be arriving. Two men arrived and took a look at the problem. They immediately got to work and had everything sorted fairly quickly. I had one additional job for them which they were happy to take a look at and had that fixed fairly promptly too. If I have any other electrical issues in the future I won't hesitate to use them again.

I was very pleased with Robert's workmanship and professionalism, but I expected no less from Peerless Electric...another GREAT job!
Description of Work: We have always received excellent workmanship (interior and exterior) and superb customer service from Peerless Electric. Today our electrician, Robert Martinez, made some electrical repairs around our pool area to the pump and timer. He removed the ground wire from the pump that was attached to the timer; drove an 8 ft. ground rod into the ground and attached the ground wire from the pump to the to the ground rod. Robert also removed the existing switch cover (it was not weatherproof) with a new weatherproof bubble cover.
