Two people arrived and attempted to up-sell the work to 7x what I had already paid. The workers wanted to do significant rewiring of bath electrical circuit on top of installing the fixture rather than just install the fixture as requested.
Description of Work: Install bathroom ceiling fixture. I provided all parts.

Response from Good Electric
Dear [Member Name Removed] We never charge Angie's list customers for an estimate. You only paid Angie's List for the deal you purchased from them. You may call them for a refund. The item you requested that we install was actually a Heat-Vent-Light and 3 switches to control it. (not a ceiling fixture without switches). The heat part of a HVL requires a separate circuit from the electrical panel by National Electrical Code and fire safety. You had existing wiring for a fan and/or light, but not for heat. The quote included separate circuit wiring to the HVL and the switches. Our quote also included extra labor due to difficult working conditions in your attic. Our competitive pricing receives A or B ratings from most of our Angie's list customers and our BBB rating is A+. I regret that you did not give us the opportunity to explain our quote to you. Since you had mentioned doing the work yourself, I recommend that you not connect the HVL to the existing circuit and create a fire hazard. Please contact us if you have any questions or if we may help in any way. Sincerely, Larry Good.

Very well. Didn't have to hire this company based on the issues uncovered, but glad to know the electrician was extremely knowledgable, ethical and honest throughout the process.

The technician was personable, explained everything to me before he started working and gave me a quote. Once I approved it he got to work and fixed it. If I ever have any electric issues again, Good Electric will be the one I call.
Description of Work: I had short in my light switch which controlled my outside lights. Originally when I called, they scheduled me for the next day which was fine. The technician had completed his previous appointment early so they called and asked if i wanted someone the same day and he was there at the time the gave me. He fixed the problem with the light switch and changed out my outside lights which had blown when the switch shorted out.

Excellent experience from first phone call to completed work! Terry and Brett were our technicians. They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and honest and did not pressure us to do anything extra. They easily converted the hard wiring for us to a plug for a range and did a very thorough inspection and diagnosis of an exterior lighting issue that we hope to fix soon using them again. The customer service from Karen and Debbie in the office was also excellent. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing electrician services. Prices were reasonable.
Description of Work: We needed a hard wire changed to a plug-in for stove. We also had them to a diagnosis for an exterior lighting issue.

Repairman listed like a physician would to the electrical symptoms, and that led to discovering where a lose wire might be. Seemed like an inexpensive repair, so I thought the cost was a little high.

WOW! This is customer service at its best. From my first phone call to ask questions to my interaction with the technician, Terry, in my home it was obvious that the training and customer service inherent in the people working for Good Electric is top notch. Definitely worth what, in my opinion, was a very fair price.

Terry called to let me know he was on the way. Terry, Andretti (and Debbie in the office) are all courteous and professional. Two fluorescent bulbs in my kitchen light fixture were not staying on or coming on. Terry diagnosed the problem and checked on the warranty of the ballasts. He replaced the two ballasts along with four new bulbs at no charge. I have used Good Electric several times in the past and highly recommend this electric company.

The technician and the apprentice with him were two of the most professional and respectful people I've encountered. They were very punctual and gave me a 30 min courtesy call prior to arriving. They wore shoe covers while in the house. The cost was a little more than I was expecting based on experience at our previous home in Maryland but I was very pleased with the work and would use them again.
Description of Work: We had ceiling fan/light combo units installed to replace existing lights, 3 electrical outlets added, and multiple light fixtures replaced.

Well when I booked the appointment I told them I would do the 8 to 10am block. I asked though if they could make sure to tell the repair man that 10am is the time I need them here. Well because of another job before me they didnt get here til 245pm! When they got here I was quoted a MUCH higher price to fix things then the person over the phone told me. Once we got the price cleared with managers back at office the work seemed to go smooth. That is until the light fix i bought at home depot didnt work. I live 8 minutes from a home depot and asked if i could run out and get a new one. They then told me that they had to go to another appointment so they left and told me to book another appointment instead. I was VERY ****** off because when I called to make another appointment for them to come back it wouldn't be until days later!!!!!! Why couldn't they wait 10 minutes for me to get a new light fix and finish the job???? Now i have no bathroom light and will have to book another 4 hour block spread appointment time!!!!! I will never use this service again!!!!!!

Company rep came out but suggested that I needed to get a home evaluation first before repairs got done. This would cost me $200. So basicly I used up my coupon. Then I was given evaluation and estimate for repair was over $12,000 which was way over other estimates I had received. I didn't go with this company and felt that I wasted my money.
