Repair work was completed for a bargain price. The cost estimates for future work seemed a bit pricey, but the knowledge and skill of the electrician will make me take a closer look at this company when the bank account allows.
Description of Work: Had problem with old breaker box. The event coincided with Specials on Angie's List. Took a chance that problem could be solved in allotted diagnoses/repair time. Goode electrician understood the possible problems and quickly and correctly diagnosed an alternate solution. He provided additional suggestions and estimates for reworking my Rube Goldberg breaker panels which span fuses to breakers.

It didn't go at all due to an outrageous estimate of $1100.00+. I did get the outlets installed by a qualified licensed electrician for a reasonable price of $200.00. Your man was trying to charge me $200.00+ for parts that cost less than $20.00 OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

Response from Good Electric
Dear Customer, Thank you for your review. What you describe in your review is not the same as the scope of work in our estimate. Our quote included the legally and safety required GFCI protection plus Arc Fault protection against fires from the cord and appliances connected to the receptacle. That work was not mentioned in your description of the work that you had done. As far as pricing for parts, our prices are all inclusive and we do not price out parts separately. Perhaps you have us confused with someone else. For all 9 years with Angie's List we have received their Super Service Award. The great majority of our customers give us high marks on value and price. We are also A+ rated with the BBB. You mentioned the installation was done by a qualified and licensed electrician. Homeowners rarely know if the person doing the work is properly licensed or has done the work safely and to code. It is illegal in Texas for an electrician with any kind of electrical license to work directly for you. Their license only qualifies them to work for a licensed company that provides the technical supervision of a master electrician, insures code compliance, and is financially responsible. It is also illegal for someone to show you their license claiming they are properly licensed to do work for you when in fact they are not. The quickest way to find out if someone is really qualified is to call the building department of your city and ask if the person offering their services can obtain a permit for the work. We recommend that you get permits for all work so an inspector can verify that the work was done to code and is safe. Many insurance companies will not pay for a loss (possibly your entire home) that was the result of work done without an electrical permit or was not done by a fully and properly licensed electrical contractor. Angie's List only recommends companies that are fully licensed and insured. Many people use Angie's List because they are not willing to sacrifice safety and financial responsibility to get a cheap price. This protects homeowners against illegal and unsafe work that may result in fire or electrocution, plus you are insured in the event there is a problem. When work is allowed to be done illegally, the homeowner and their family assumes the risk for fire, shock and property loss.

Did a great job. Above and beyond explaining and making suggestions. The only thing I would change would be availability on Saturdays. I really can't take a lot of time off of work if I want to continue moving forward with renovating the house.

They’re really good, they’re really punctual. You can call them in the morning and they’ll come out in the afternoon. They are more reasonably than plumbers are. They are probably a little higher than everybody else, but I think it’s better than what I would normally get. I found them on Angie’s List. They do excellent work. They’ve always done good work and I’ve always called them back.
Description of Work: They fixed light fixtures, installed light fixtures.

The work was excellent. The tech traced the circuit wiring from each plug through 3-way switches and hall lighting to a kitchen/breakfast area switch which had a diagonal "hot" wire leading to the affected area. This required him to identify that all circuits were "hot" coming out of the master circuit breaker board and trace the wiring in the attic to each receptacle. He found that the diagonal connection was broken when the 3rd wire fell off the back of a switch during installation of a new backsplash. While that switch was still working, the connections down the line were not.
Description of Work: Troubleshoot why 4 lights and and 2 switches had ceased to function during a remodeling project.
