The electrician could not trace the circuit and so could not repair the outlet. Moreover, he went on to recommend that we use their CurrentSafe hazard detection service to diagnose the problem. This would have run at least $1600. When we called another company out for a second opinion, they were able to trace the problem circuit in a matter of minutes, found a loose wire in a junction box and quickly repaired the outlet.
Description of Work: Needed repair of an outlet that was not working.

Great. See above.
Description of Work: House flooded after Harvey. We called as soon as the water went down to have the outlets checked to see if it was safe to turn on the power. Electrician came out THE SAME DAY, reviewed everything, checked all outlets and appliances, verified we could turn on power and use most outlets, and further recommended rewiring at a later date. In view of the fact that everyone in the city is calling for service, we were bowled over that we actually got same-day response.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY ! ! ! I had them come out to install a whole-house surge protecter (I provided the part). They quoted $105/yr. Told me that they had to replace two breakers in my box in order to do the install. When I reviewed the prices they were charging they were >50% higher than anything I saw. They will low-ball an estimate and seriously gouge you on parts that they "didn't realize they needed". Wasted 2 hours of my time and didn't finish the job.

Mr. [Member Name Removed]: We apologize for any confusion resulting in the service call you scheduled yesterday. We offer our customers the option of purchasing any or all materials themselves and we will install them. We gave you an estimate prior to beginning the work, and on top of the reduced the price in an effort to fit within your budget. We do not overcharge, nor do we encourage our employees to make commission sales. Again, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced with our company.

Description of Work: Removed old, inoperable wall oven that was making a buzzing sound behind it, even though everything was turned off. I was afraid it was going to start a fire. They were professional, quick but methodical; capped off the connections properly and disposed of the oven. I was relieved. I don't recall what I paid but felt at the time that it was appropriate. I would use them again.

Work went fine. Electrician showed up on time and seemed professional. Problem was that when I scheduled the appointment I was told I would have 2 guys for $105 per hour. Instead one guy showed up. When I called the office to complain, the solution was to lower the price $10 an hour. There was definite misrepresentation here when I made the appointment. I paid about $100 more than I should have.

Description of Work: They came out on three different occasions for two different problems. They came right away on the first visit when we had an emergency. All the work they performed was good and their prices seem fair. My only hesitation is the deposit we put down for an electrical hazard detection test. It seemed very expensive to us, but we also need our wiring checked. Not sure if we are being overcharged for it, but it feels like a necessity to us. Otherwise, I wouldn't hesitate to use them for any electrical service you need.

Juan came out for the estimate, and returned with a partner to perform the work itself. He was very polite, professional, and friendly, tolerating the occasional barrage of questions from me while he was working. Between the two of them they spent all day (and returned a few days later to finish with labeling the breakers) at the house. They worked hard, and I am very pleased with the results.
Description of Work: Upgraded service panel from 100A to 125A, added washer/dryer circuits, one additional 120V 20-amp interior outlet, three 120V 20-amp exterior outlets, and repaired a cut wire in the attic.

Had several electricians come out to give me a bid and these guys seem to be the most honest. I went ahead and did there "current safe" whole house assessment which is an all day assessment of your entire electrical system. They give you a printed and very detailed report at the end of it. Its a little expensive but gives you piece of mind in terms of your electrical system. They also fixed some minor things along the way for no extra charge. It also told me, which I already kind of knew and had bids on form other electricians, that I needed my break box, riser, etc replaced and brought up to code. They're bid was significantly lower than most bids I received and I feel like I can generally trust them more than others based on there patience and detail when responding to my dumb questions. Ive scheduled the work to be done but has yet to be completed but don't see why my review would change, If anything goes wrong I will update the review. Would recommend them to anybody and will use them in the future.

I called and explained that I thought I had a breaker problem as one section of the house did not have power. (I had turned them all off and back on the night before to see if that would fix the problem). He said he would send someone over. The guy was here within 20 minutes in a company van with his tool belt. He opened the box, popped off the cover, and went straight to checking the breakers. He found one that was loose and pushed it back and checked it again and said there should be power now. (It looked like it was in place but obviously was not.) Checked and he was correct. He then said it was a $84.00 service call. I said I had asked when I had called what the approximate charge would be and was never told about a service fee. He said he would call his boss and see what he said. I expected him to come back and say it was still $84.00. I was shocked, surprised, and happy to find the boss said there would not be a fee. I said I was willing to pay something but he said no, there would be no charge since all he did was just push the breaker back. I am highly impressed and would highly recommend ths company. Excellent service, promptness, professionalism, and HONESTY! (I had to put in a penny because it would not let me post with zero amount.)

I was very pleased. I usually only use businesses with a lot of good reviews on Angie's list but I decided to go with Ohms by the recommendation of a co-worker. Jennifer in the office is a pleasure to speak with. Robert and his assistant Juan did the work. They were prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely use them again for all my electrical needs.

The work was quick and easy. I'm not comfortable working in the electric panel myself. The guys were friendly and knowledgeable. Ohms was quick to replay to emails or calls when I was trying to schedule the work. The price was reasonable.

I am a small business owner so can appreciate what is involved in a successful service call. This is the second time I've used Ohm Electrical. Each time, they are responsive, prompt, resolved my electrical project, they are reasonably priced, and I look forward to doing business with them for years to come.
