Excellent experience and very comfortable with the pricing.
Description of Work: Company was able to have technicians (2 of them) come out a mere 36 hours after calling for an appointment. Very prompt, here before 8am. Asked me what needed to be done, and got right to work. Were finished in under 2 hours, fixed several problems that had been lingering, explained what they did, and they guarantee their work for 1 year. Even installed a new outdoor outlet.

The electrician was not able to find the problem that was causing the circuit to trip, but he showed me a solution that enabled me to solve the problem without having to completely replace the line. The electrician showed me that I had more than enough capacity going to the outlet withou this circuit. I was pleased with the solution.
Description of Work: Had a circuit to an outside line that was repeatedly triping. Sometimes when this circuit tripped, it would also trip additional circuits in the house.

It was a great experience and I plan on using them in the future.
Description of Work: Becker came out to provide a quote for putting lighting in my attic and installing a new ceiling fan in my 18 ft living room. After receiving the estimate, I had to wait a few months to save the $, but when I called, the quote was still valid. An appointment was made, the workers arrived on time, performed the work, were extremely tidy and asked questions along the way to ensure everything was as I requested. When I had a missing part to my ceiling fan, they left and returned for no additional charge a few weeks later as long as I allowed them to store their spare 12 ft ladder in my living room. I had no problem with that! They cleaned everything up, patched walls and removed garbage and spare parts.

I was very pleased/impressed with my Becker experience (which just ended 10 minutes ago). While it is a little early for me to speak of the lasting quality of the work, everything looks excellent, and the service itself was exemplary. The electrician, Steve, arrived well within the service window, and had a solution figured out for the bedroom socket within a minute of looking at the wall. The fan took a little bit longer, since it was apparently improperly installed the first time around, but he managed to get it fully secured to the ceiling without having to go up into the attic or leave the room. He left everything as clean as it was when he found it, and handled all the work while I tool a conference call in the next room. He was extremely friendly and helpful (showing me some of the ins and outs of my not-so-great ceiling fan) and answered all my questions without being at all intrusive. I expected the whole process to last longer and cost more. I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. I will definitely seek them out again when the electrical work in my old house needs more work.
Description of Work: The ceiling fan installed in our soon-to-be nursery was coming down from the ceiling, and with a baby set to arrive any day now, we wanted to make sure it was functional and safe. In addition, we have an old house, and there aren't always outlets where we need/want them, so we needed to have an outlet installed in our master bedroom near the head of the bed. Steve from Becker knocked out both jobs in less than an hour, all while I was on a work call in the other room.

Functionality is good so far. Cosmetically speaking the job was below par. I had four new breakers installed upstairs, with wiring, and a new outlet too, and they all seem to work well. It appears it took them two attempts to install the new outlet in my bedroom and the "scars" from the first attempt are visible. However, my biggest issue was in the guest bathroom. The reinstall of the outlet was nothing less than sloppy. I sent an email with photo and they came back to "fix" it. Looks better now but I will end up hiring someone to do it right sometime down the road. Seems like there was disregard to detail when it come to appearance. However, the functionality is good so far.
Description of Work: My rowhouse only had one breaker for the upstairs and I had four additional breakers installed with new wiring for the breakers.

Steve replaced my attic fan motor. He arrived on time, looked over the problem, determined that the motor needed to be replaced, had the replacement on the truck, finished the repair in less than an hour, explained what he did and how it works, and charged me less than I was expecting from the quote given over the phone. He was very courteous and careful. I would diffently use this company again.
Description of Work: My ventilating attic fan was not working. I was quoted over the phone of between $260 -$300 if the motor needed to be replaced. Steve replaced the motor.

It went even better than I expected. When I called and asked for the first appointment, they said Steve would call at 7:30 am when he was on his way. Well, he called and then was there before 8am (awesome since I was ready and waiting) and the whole switch replacement took him maybe ten minutes. I hadn't even finished my coffee or the paper before he was done. I was on the road to work with barely a blip in my morning routine. And he reminded me of my Angies List coupon! I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I needed a wall switch in a home office replaced. It is the only way to turn on the overhead light (and more importantly, the ceiling fan).

They came early in the agreed upon time period (between 10am and 1pm). I showed them what we wanted done. I had already cleared space in the basement for them to work. (They moved a few move things out of the way with my permission.) They installed the outlet for the sump pump first, and then fixed the kitchen dimmer switch. Took them less than one hour. The work was neatly done; the wire tied down with the other wires into a neat bundle along the basement ceiling wall. Floor was clean and all their trash was removed. I told them I was very satisfied.
Description of Work: Installed a new outlet for a basement floor sump pump, and connected it to the electric panel (breaker box) in the garage. Replaced one dimmer switch in the kitchen for low-wattage halogen bulbs.

It was a very good experience. Marc and the other electrician whose name I can't remember (I apologize) were expected between 8:30 and noon and they arrived by 9:15. They quickly repaired the light switch and the outdoor electrical outlet. I thought I was going to need to repair the ceiling where the fan was installed but they installed it with minimal mess and replaced the ceiling tile that they had to destroy to install the socket and anchor. I thought the guest room would be the hardest of the jobs to complete but they had it done in a half hour and did not damage to the plaster walls. Also, they did not leave behind any mess to clean up and they were probably done with the whole job in less than an hour and half. I would hire their services again and plan to in the future.
Description of Work: Had one outlet repaired, a new one installed in the guest room, repaired a lightswitch and installed a ceiling fan in the TV room.

They were prompt. They were professional. We have used them before. We will use them again. Their price was very competetive. One guy wanted to put a scaffolding up there. Becker did it with a ladder.
Description of Work: They have done work for us a couple of times. Around March 8th we had two light fixtures replaced; one in a bathroom and the other over a very high ceiling on the stairs. They charged us $160 for the two light fixtures. That included their travel and time. That was the final price.

Becker showed up a half-hour early on the appointed day. They worked quickly and professionally, with minimal disruption inside the house. They dug the necessary trough for the underground cable to the new pedestal.
Description of Work: Becker came out very promptly to give a detailed estimate for a job we needed done on a future date after the completion of some masonry work and the beginning of some landscaping. The job included running a new line to a newly installed pedestal light 15 feet in front of the house, as well as installation of an outlet in the pedestal. We also had 2 quad outlets installed on the exterior brick on the side of our front landing. Both the new light and the new outlets were to be tied to switches in the front foyer. They were also to swap out new outdoor sconces for pre-existing ones. On two occasions after the estimate and before the job, I had occasion to call Becker (a) to make a modest adjustment to the job and (b) to clarify a question concerning placement of an outlet. In both cases, they responded very quickly with answers.

Becker Electric came out for their initial estimate. They showed up on time and the person who came was very friendly. We decided to go with Becker Electric because they gave us the best price for what we needed to do and we were happy with the promptness their staff provided for us. When the work was done, the electricians showed up on time (and even called before they came). They were neat and efficient. We were very happy with their promptness and professionalism and will use the company again.
Description of Work: Becker electric replaced all the two-prong outlets in our house (four bedroom- two bath house) to three-prong outlets. They also installed two outlets on the outside of our house.

Monday morning I asked my husband to review electricians on Angie's List and schedule an appointment with a highly rated company to perform the work. My husband found Becker Electric Company on Angie's List and a Falls Church Community Forum. He contacted Becker Tuesday morning and they were able to schedule the electricians to perform the work the very next day (yea!). We were provided a window when the team would arrive and they were here within that window. The project took about an hour and a half and the job was complete. Everything works and we are very pleased with how this project came together.
Description of Work: Our master bedroom ceiling fan operated on only one switch, which we felt was unsafe. We requested the switch be split so there was one switch for the light portion of the ceiling fan and another switch to control the fan.

This is the third or fourth time we have used Becker Electric and as with all previous jobs they arrived on time, did the work quickly, and charged exactly what was quoted over the phone. Our dining room had an old ceiling fan (with light fixture) in it and over time we found that we didn't really use the ceiling fan much. We purchased a new light fixture at a lighting store and called Becker to install it. An appointment was scheduled for 2 days after our call. On the day of the appointment, Becker staff called to say they were on the way, arrived on time, and performed the work quickly and neatly. Great company in my opinion.

The entire experience was excellent. We identified Becker Electric on Angie's List after having had a bad experience with another electrician whom we had found through the Yellow Pages. Becker gave us a window in which its service team would arrive, and two workers showed up right on schedule. They performed the requested work quickly and expertly for only $90.00 and were very pleasant and respectful of our property -- so much so that one of the workers brought his own dust pan and broom and swept up our floor before departing. I almost fainted!!! Also, although not part of the original work order, they agreed to take a look at a broken ceiling fan located in our family room, which has 20 foot ceilings. They brought in their own ladder, did an inspection, and made a recommendation on short order. All in all, this was one of the best experiences with a service team that we have encountered in many years and I would recommend Becker to everyone!
