Put in new fuse boxes both inside and outside. Put in separate elec. line for septic tank. Rewired house to bring wiring up to current code. We did not expect the code issue, so job was more expensive than anticipated. However, extremely pleased with his work and do believe wiring was shoddy when house built. All fine now and extra work will increase value of home and allow it to be sold (since it meets today's standards). Very satisfied. Highly recommend.

I must say I'm biased. It was really a bad experience. The service tech called me to my laundry room (which is a very small close quarters area) where my circuit breaker box is located and was discussing issues with it and the cost involved in replacing it. I was shocked at the price and the tech grabbed me by the shoulder. That surprised, frightened, and scared me all at the same time. I immediately told him to take his hand off me and to respect my space. It was a bad scene, I'm alone in the house with this guy, he had sent his helper back to their van out on the street. Obviously, he thought it was not right because after paying him 5-10 minutes later he returned my check and told me he had cleared it with his office. Sounds all rather fishy!!!'

While my complete project is very pricey, it’s because upon his inspection he recommended items to get up to code and to improve upon contractor grade products when Home was built. I understand the needs, and agree they will greatly increase safety and Home value in the future. Tech was very knowledgeable and thorough.

The electrician recommended that I have 3 circuit breakers replaced. Each of those replaced circuit breakers cost me $300 plus just to replace... Funny how those same breakers range from $10 to $30 at Home Depot or Lowes! I was totally ripped off!

Amazing, I called less than 24 hours ago, and as of today 2 ceiling fans installed, 5 smoke detectors, gfis replaced, and 3 light fixtures. Excellent work, very neat and tidy, super friendly. And the office communicated several times confirming appointment and time of arrival. Highly recommend

I hired this company and scheduled a next day appointment confirming that there would be absolutely NO service or estimate charge for a technician coming over and that any work requiring a fee would be cleared through me prior. 20 minutes after the 2 hour window passed of the scheduled service (on the next day), I called and they said the appointment was for a different day, but I told them that they had made a mistake because I would not have made the appointment that late because my house is at 93 degrees and needed sooner service. They agreed to get someone out on the day I originally scheduled (just REALLY late) but then they said I would have to pay a $100 something fee. I again reminded them that, that was not the case originally and they said it is now. So hire at your own peril.

Installed electrical source for two floodlights/cameras and a GFCI outlet. They installed the two floodlights/cameras that I provided. The job was good quality and completed fairly quick. Somewhat expensive.
