Description of Work: Installed new outlet in family room as well as 3 outside GFI Boxes, outlets & covers. Have used several times prior (ran new dedicated circuits to family room for computers & other electronic equipment. RE wired plugs in office for new wall & cabinet placement as well as several other projects over the past several years. Always professional. Had used other companies prior to finding trim and hadn't been completely satisfied. In fact some of the prior Trim Jobs we started them with were them redoing some of the earlier wiring.

Description of Work: Initially we had Trim Electric come out for the Electrical Panel Inspection and Tune-up for $149. Even though someone was home and we had asked them to make contact they did not. Their response was "Technician arrived at 9:11am on 2/5/15. No answer at door upon arrival, technician went to backyard as instructed by homeowner." | |After receiving their report we decided we needed to replace the electrical panel and breakers. Trim Electric's quote was $2,414. When I asked for additional information their response was "We only provide turnkey pricing and do not itemize our estimates out." There were three employees who responded to my several email requests for clarification about what they would do. | |We had the same work done by a very qualified electrician for $1,650.

Response from Trim Electric Inc
I am sorry to hear that you did not like our level of service. After reading through the notes we noticed that we only initially had contact with your daughter who lives in the home; we did not hear from you until we had submitted the bid. Even though our notes said that the homeowner would not be home when we went to inspect we called the number listed on our dispatch and we also knocked on the door. We proceeded with the inspection and tune-up and then promptly e-mailed your daughter the bid. Our bid breakdown does not usually give any of our clients problems - I've included the bid below so that Angie's List customers can judge for themselves. We also sent you the spec sheets you requested and in an e-mail explained that we used "Square D QO breaker panels and components exclusively." Please keep in mind that all of the equipment we install is under a parts warranty - this is a component of our price. I do realize that you may have not liked our price, but we feel that it is unfair that you gave us a negative review based on this. We were very responsive to your questions and have several e-mails to prove this. We can't always win every bid and we are happy that you found a capable electrician to do the work that you required. BID for Breaker Panel Replacement: We hereby submit specifications and estimates for the following: 1. Remove existing breaker panel. Supply and install new 200A main breaker panel, miscellaneous circuit breakers, feeder wires, and miscellaneous hardware to replace existing breaker panel. $2,076.83 2. Identify and label circuit breakers. $180.00 3. Supply and install (1) Square D QO plugin surge protector in new breaker panel. $156.96 NOTE: Sales tax is included in the prices. NOTE: Our proposal is good for 30 days. NOTE: All over fusing will be corrected at time of service change out. If nuisance tripping occurs after over fusing is corrected, additional work may be needed at an additional cost.’ NOTE: Customer will need to call utility company and request a temporary disconnect at 7:00 AM the morning work is scheduled to begin. Customer will need to call utility company and request a reconnect after work is completed. NOTE FOR YOUR PROTECTION: We are licensed and insured. Proof of license and insurance are available upon request. TECL# 19635: Regulated by The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, P.O.

Description of Work: We had to have the underground electrical "drop" line running to our house replaced. Trim Electric came in with a very competitive estimate and were responsive to our scheduling needs since we had to have the work done by a certain date. On the day of work they showed up promptly with a good working crew. a 50 to 60 foot trench (20 inches deep) was dug, conduit run, etc. All work was completed in about 5 to 6 hours (very good for this project). They were very cognizant and concerned about not disturbing any sprinkler lines, etc. Very pleased with their work and professionalism.

Thank you for the thorough review! We definitely do quite a few underground replacements each year. In many of the more established neighborhoods this type of electrical work pops up so don't be surprised if some of your neighbors have this happen in the next few years. We get most of our customers through referral so we are very happy that you are pleased! Sincerely, Trim Electric Staff

Description of Work: I was completely pleased with everything except that after they left my home, I checked the bathroom light and it did not turn off very smoothly. | |It seemed to have a catch or a glitch in it which made me uncomfortable and unhappy. I would have thought he would check his work before he left and maybe would have asked me to check it.....to see if I was happy.

Description of Work: We had a problem with our electricity and thought the main circuit breaker was faulty. We called Trim Electric to schedule a technition and they suggested calling our electric provider first to check if it was a problem with an incoming cable. Sure enough, it was fixed by electric provider at no cost to is. Trim Electric could have sent someone to our house to determine that it was an incoming line problem and then charged us for the service call. Instead, the problem got fixed for no charge to us. Thank you Trim Electric!
