Very badly, at least initially. I had gone to a lighting store in advance and was given a written quote of appropriate recessed lighting equipment. The electrician came on the 1st day to recommend the number and layout of the lights, and provide an estimate of the job. He said the equipment proposed by the lighting store was OK, so I purchased it. He returned to install the lights, and found that they would not fit because there wasn't enough clearance in the attic. He identified what was needed, and my sister went to return the originals and purchase the smaller lights he recommended. (I was unable to do this due to recent surgery.) She called me from the store and said the size was not available at any lighting store in San Antonio, and they would have to be ordered. I told the electrician, and he said they were available at Home Depot. He met my sister at Home Depot and selected the lights. He installed the lighting cans, but said he couldn't complete the job because the bulbs were the wrong size. He told her what she needed to get at Home Depot, and he left with no plan to return. My sister returned to Home Depot and bought what he recommended. It was completely unclear how to convert from what he had installed to the newer equipment, so I called the company. After several days of no response, the service manager called and came to the house. It turned out that the electrician had installed the cans for screw-in bulbs rather than LED lights. The service manager quickly corrected this. I am pleased with the work he did. It seemed like the first electrician didn't understand how to do the job.

We apologize for your experience. Normally we have a quicker response time but both the person who normally responds and their backup each were out of state due to a parent passing so it took four business days from your call until we were able to get the situation totally resolved. Had it been any kind of a safety matter it would have been handled sooner. Although we strive to do better we were unsuccessful in this case.

It was just the breaker on the subpanel that we did not see. Total cost to flip the one switch was $263. Total time the electrician spent wa about 5 minutes. Ridiculous price. I understand the $100 trip or "diagnostic" fee, but an additional $163 to reset the breaker? I will never use this company again.

Response from Mr. Electric of San Antonio
This was not a 5 minute call. Prior to flipping the switch the service professional had to identify the problem, locate the sub panel and make sure the dryer and electrical system was safe to reset. As licensed electricians we are responsible for the safety of your electrical system and any individuals occupying the premises. We are not willing to take a risk by not fully performing these tasks.

Very disappointed in the charges that Mr. Electric quoted for my father in law. Makes me feel like they were trying to take advantage of this elderly gentleman. I did ask the other electricians about charging for working in the attic and they all stated that they don't do that. Huge difference in cost between Mr. Electric and the other electricians I talked with.
Description of Work: My father in law (90y/o) had the heater portion of his bathroom fan go out. I contacted Nutone and they told me that his model was too old for parts and recommended that I purchase one particular model that had the same dimensions as the old one, so that no ceiling work would need to be done. He purchased the unit at Home Depot and signed up for the installation through them. Mr . Electric called and an apt was made. When they came for the appt. their estimate was over $500.00 to install the unit; which included a charge of $150.00 just for having to go up into the attic. I searched on Angie's list and contacted several "A" rated electricians and the unit was installed today for a total cost of $160.00, and only took about 45 minutes.

We appreciate you bringing this concern to our attention. If there is something we should have done different we would appreciate the opportunity to correct it. If there is a miscommunication or misunderstanding we would like the opportunity to set the record straight. Since you were not the customer and we do not know who the customer is we have no way of looking into the situation and exactly what happened. We never want any customer, or potential customer in this case to feel that we would have overcharged them. Please contact me at 210-348-6000 to give us the opportunity to verify and address this issue properly. Thank you, Doug Thornton

My experience was good. I was very pleased with the quality of his work and he was prompt and very courteous. He was very good. I shopped around and I thought his price was competitive.
Description of Work: I have had Mr. Electric come out a few times because I had quite a bit of electrical work that needed to be done last year. When I turn on my fan on my porch all the power would go out in my master bedroom. It was one of the screwy wiring things so he rewired and fixed that. Then, he also installed a ceiling light for me and a new ceiling fan in my porch.

Tony came out initially to install a new ceiling fan for us - it looks great! We asked if he would check the landscape lighting as it was tripping the circuit breaker every time we turned them on. Bottom line - the lights we had installed when we built the house were not meant to be used as landscape lights. They were meant to "light up the trees" at Christmas time (like the SA Riverwalk). Tony explained to us the lights needed to be "professional grade" in order to get the results we wanted. BOY! Did we ever!! He and his coworker - John spent two days removing old lights and wires and replacing with the upgraded landscape lights in the front and backyards. They were careful not to disturb our flowerbeds and landscaping and cleaned up their work areas as they went along. Tony included a much appreciated timer for the lights as well. How welcoming it is to come home at night to a beautifully lit house! We cannot say enough nice things about these two fine gentlemen and their professionalism. The trees on our property are magnificent and the up lighting only highlights that. We have already spent many a peaceful evening outside admiring their work and how VERY glad we are that we made contact with this company. I would have NO problems recommended them to anyone - in fact I have already done so! THANK YOU MR. ELECTRIC - TONY and JOHN!!

I wasn't too happy with what they did. I have regrets that I used them. We came down to them, and the Christian group because we are Christians, and we chose them, but they cost us a lot more in the long run. They did a good job on what they did, but they didn't fix the problem, we still had to do that after they left.
Description of Work: We used Mr. Electric. They came out and told us what the problem was, and did a $1300 repair. It turned out that wasn't the problem at all.

We appreciate your input and did not realyze you were less than satisfied with the results of our service. According to our records we went to your home because the outlet for your garage door was not working. In all we replaced a bad panel, and two recepticles. At the time we left there were no electrical issues remaining with the power to your garage door opener. Our service professional recommended you contact a company that is qualified to work on garage door openers. Our service professionals are expert electricians but are not trained to repair any electrical device and are only authorized to perform tasks for that which they are not trained, licensed and qualified. Although we understand your dissatisfaction with having to contact another company to fix your garage door opener, our service professionals are not allowed to perform tasks for that which they are not trained, licensed or qualified. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance

We appreciate the honest feedback on our service. We do strive to deliver excellent service and have the best electricians in the business. We do pay our people better than our competitors in order to have the best and normally that results in a higher quality job that is done in less time resulting in a competitive price. That being said we never sacrifice quality service or electrical work to beat the low end electricial contractor prices. Your family's safety will not be comprimised. Thank you for allowing us to earn your business.

We are unhappy to hear that you were unsatisfied with the service we performed. Our service professional came to your home and performed diagnostic work to determine what needed to be done to correct the issues at your home. While he was there he also corrected the issue that was urgent. The total cost was $1200. You agreed to have us do the work, signed off as to your agreement and gave us a $500 non refundable deposit to buy materials and start the job. We purchased the needed material and both the service professional and a helper arrived at your home as scheduled to do the job. No one was home and we attempted to reach you for 30 minutes so we left you a door hander on the door so you would know we were there as scheduled. We left you several messages and you finally called and requested we not contact you again. We refunded your credit card $170.22 of the non refundable deposit. We charged you $329.78 for the work we performed in your home. We did not charge you for the cost to have 2 licensed electricians order and pick up and return the materials and come to your home to do the work you requested or the cost of the materials we purchased for your job. Obviously there is something you were dissatisfied with. I am not sure what more we could have been expected to have done.

Initially, I called the 1-800 number and provided all my personal info, they said someone would call me back with in 4 hours. No one did, so I called the local number in town and they had no record of my call. However, they were very nice locally, took all my info, and provided me with someone the 1st thing the next AM. First the electrician, Tony, was friendly and personable. He listened to what I had concerns with and looked at each issue. When I mentioned the sparking outlet, that seemed to be his biggest concern. He checked the breaker box and right off the bat, he noticed they were the original breakers to the house, which I was shocked they had never been replaced prior to me purchasing the house. He pulled a couple, one of them was the breaker that lead to the room where the sparking outlet was and showed me why it never tripped when the outlet started sparking. He recommended replacement but never pressured me to get it done. He fixed everything I asked and after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, I went ahead and got the breakers for the enitre house replaced, giving me a sense of relief and huge peace of mind . I felt he was honest and trustworthy and not trying to push something I didn't need or want. I most certainly would use Mr. Electric again and will plan to call them back out, should I have other electrical issues.
Description of Work: Mr. Electric sent out an experience master electrician to look at several electrical issues I have been having in my 50+ year old home. The electrician looked at all my concerns from a sparking outlet, a ceiling fan, outside lamp post, etc. and provided a detailed list of things that either had to be done, should be done, or needed to be done. The electrician also helped me organize the list in importance to ensure the most dire issues were fixed first and foremost.
