They were responsive and work was done well. The requirement to pay for two licensed electricians with a minimum of $150 makes them a bit expensive.
Description of Work: Remove a ceiling fan for repairs on one trip. Second trip installed repaired ceiling fan and two new outdoor fans.

The electrician was very professional and easy to work with. He went through the list of items and was able to fix the light socket and checked some sockets for being properly grounded and advised us on a few other things we had from a home inspection report. He also looked at the ceiling fan and determined we needed to order a replacement light kit as it was a specialized fan.
Description of Work: Several small projects including light socket not working and ceiling fan not working.

Trim Electric's electrician was professional and skillful. He found out that the lights outside of the garage were causing the breakers to switch off. He then installed the new lights that we purchased.
Description of Work: Two individual breakers on our breaker panel would trip. So we need an electrician to diagnose and fix the problem.

We had a great experience with Trim Electric. Got a quote with ease. Reuben and Roberto showed up on time and were great. Very easy to work with, patient while I dithered over fixture height, and sweet with my house full of kids. I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Would recommend to anyone.

I called to have TRIM Electric over for an estimate to install a chandelier in a 3 story home for an entry way with very high vaulted ceilings. A man, Joe, showed up and measured the area to install. It was a 34 foot drop with the light coming in at about 1/3 down so scallfaling was going to be necessary. That is why I phoned TRIM originally because they advertise "mounted on extremely high ceilings." Joe said he would get me an estimate within 24 hours via email. 2 weeks and multiple calls from me later I have never received a response. Joe is the owner - I find out today and cannot be bothered to f/u with a customer who spent hours waiting that day for him and an estimate. Very unprofessional. I asked for a card or email and Joe said he didn't have a card and he would just email me the next day. I do not recommend Joe or his company. TRIM - Total Incompetence. Don't waste your time.

I had a dangerous electrical panel that had been cited in reports, where it could have set my house on fire. They knew exactly what the problem was and helped me to decide what new one to have and where to put it. There was no real easy way to put it in the house, so they installed it outside and made sure I was safe.
Description of Work: Changed out my electrical panel.

I was not present and they let themselves in. They called with the price when they were done. It was a surprise as it was high for the 30 min. job that the office said it would take 30 min. When I got to the house there was dryer vent hose material cut off and left as litter on my utility room desk. Also dryer was pulled out and left about 10" from the back wall. Will have to have dryer vent install repeated with correct periscope dryer vent part so dryer can go back toward the wall and meet up with the placement of the washer.
Description of Work: Romex connector needed for dryer and reconnect dryer vent hose.

They did a great job ! Took the time to space the 5 cams lights in the ceiling so that all areas were lit sufficiently and spaced properly. We had three 32" in under counter lights and one 18" What a difference! We can see in the pantry and drawers! Very dependable, efficient and completed the job in a timely manner! Would highly recommend Trim Electric!

It went well, as always. One electrician, Matthew worked on the lights while the other, Carlos, worked on the well. The well job was difficult because an 18-inch trench had to be dug from the wellhead to the garage. This did not bother Carlos at all. Once he finished the trench, Matthew, who had finished installing the lights, went outside and helped Carlos thread and bury the electric line. They then ran the conduit up the garage wall and into the garage and reconnected everything. For the first time in 26 years all of the electrical components of our water well were up to code. And the set-up actually looks great! Carlos and Matthew did an outstanding job.
Description of Work: Our water well needed to be rewired, conduit encased, and buried. We also needed 5 light fixtures installed, 4 in the house and one security light outside.

We want to make sure that you understand that we do carry some breakers on our truck, but we did not have the brand and type of breaker you needed. To give you and Angie's List customers some perspective, if you do a search on the Home Depot website for circuit breakers you will get a result of 626 different types of breakers. If we do an electrical panel inspection and find that a breaker needs to be replaced we will replace the breaker with one from our truck if we happen to have that breaker. If not, we place an order into our office and schedule a follow-up visit at a later time. Installing the correct breaker to the corresponding Breaker panel is important to avoid warranty issues. Unlike a plumber we can't always use generic products; if a specific product fails for a plumber you have to deal with water leaks; if a product that is installed by an electrician fails you have to deal with a potential fire threat! We are sorry that we did not have your breaker, but it is my understanding that our office already has the name and type of breaker you need and now we just need to order it and schedule a follow-up call. Thank you for using our services. Trim Electric Staff

Reuben was the lead electrician of the 2-man crew. He called prior to arriving and promptly went to work to remove the light fixture fro the 20-foot entry hall ceiling. He and a helper used a tarp on the floor and a huge 18-foot A-frame aluminum ladder to access the light. They adjusted the height of the new fixture to our desired height, trying multiple heights for viewing. When completed, they cleaned up and loaded the ladder and tools back in their van. They worked efficiently and politely. The billing honored the $25 Angie's coupon I had printed. I would recommend Trim Electric.

Ryan and Jamie responded to our call. Ryan tackled the ridiculously screwed up outlet while Jamie installed security lights, utility room light, hall light, and kitchen light. Once the outlet was fixed, Ryan installed two light fixtures in the kitchen. Most of the new lights are LED's, and they work great. They will use less than half of the electricity that the previous lights used, and we are looking forward to the savings.

My halogsen floodlamps quit working. I called Trim Electric based on their listing in Angies List. I was given a near-term suitable appointment date. the electricians arrived on time, they were professional and curteous. When they removed the old fixtures, they found that they were attached directly to the eave without a junction box. They supplied two junction boxes and did aproper installation. they finished in about 30 minutes. No problems, good work.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced 2 outside non-working halogen floodlamp fixtures with fixtures suitable for LED floodlamp floodlamps. I supplied the new fixtures and floodlamps.
