The technician showed up timely and was very polite. He replaced all the 3 smoke detectors with the new 10-year battery ones. The work was completed quickly with little interruption to me.
Description of Work: I originally called about an odd power outage (Dominion said no outage in my area) that turned out to be a building issue so no service was needed. Since Steve was so helpful over the phone the first time, I decided to have them replace 3 smoke detectors that I'd been meaning to deal with for some time.

Knowledgeable. Texted picture of the breaker panel and he knew the age/model and correctly suspected that a full size breaker could be split into a slim twin. He also added a light fixture in the attic off of an existing circuit "while he was here".
Description of Work: Added 20A breaker and circuit for the garage.

Steve called me back within two minutes. He was there two hours later. He assessed the problem, explained why the outlets weren't working and got busy. He was done quickly and then answered all my picky little questions about our new older house. He suggested reasonable options, and did not push me toward any drastic big-expense fixes.
Description of Work: All the outlets in the kitchen stopped working.

Magnificently. I felt as though a pro had finally taken charge, and indeed he (Steve Geissler) did. In less than 4 hours, he located and fixed problems that had not been solved and/or completed over the course of some six weeks of snail-speed, sporadic, inefficient, undependable "service" by the former contractor and full payment thereof. And did I mention that he came on the day I called? New construction contractors had already started their work when they spotted some of the ineptly addressed electrical problems, some (especially flickering lights when machinery was plugged in) causing delays of their work. So getting the problems fixed FAST was certainly something we all prized. And the price paled (heck, it almost disappeared!) in comparison to what I paid the original electrical contractor. Just a shame I can't recommend Dependable or Geissler with more than a mere "A". I'll never use anyone else.
Description of Work: I needed repair and completion of a job botched by a highly recommended Angie's-List firm.

He is so good with electrical. He is so honest. He so great. He is an master electrician. They are amazing. He is wonderful. If I find out if he voted for Trump, I want give him the professionalism score. We haven't had any electrical work lately, but he is good.
Description of Work: It was complicated. He had to dig an underground electrical line out to an shed. He installed electricity and fans out in the shed.

Our outside GFI outlet stopped working after our house was powerwashed. Dependable One had replaced the GFI almost one year ago. I talked with Steve and he made it his priority to fix this problem; he immediately came to our house early evening to take care of it. I was extremely pleased with his pleasant attitude and his honesty as he repaired the GFI outlet. I would definitely contact this company for future jobs. Thanks so much, Steve! :)
Description of Work: Replaced a GFI outlet that was located on our deck.

Mike and Nick arrived at the time promised and were very professional. They made sure our fans were installed and wired properly, correcting the problems left by a previous installation. We will definitely call them again.
Description of Work: One of the two ceiling fans in our family room broke and we bought a new one to replace it. Before we could do the work we discovered a problem with the existing wiring and called Dependable One. They installed a new fan box, corrected the wiring, and installed our new fan. They also took down the other fan in the room to make sure it didn't have the same wiring problem and reinstalled it.

Using Dependable One Electric was a great experience. They were prompt in getting back to me, on time, and did an excellent job. Our ceiling light install was a little tricky due to current wiring and furniture placement but they took the time to figure out a great solution and the light looks like it has always been there. They also had no problem with my three dogs! Will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: New light connection installed in ceiling and new light fixture put up. Fixed a bad dimmer switch that was causing foyer chandelier to not work. Hung a ceiling fan.

Steve was amazing! He spent 20 minutes on the phone explaining that I didn't need to do any of the things that the another electrical company wanted me to do, all for free. I told him that I really appreciated his honesty and that I would call him again in the future and recommend his services to anyone needing electrical work done at their house.

Steve's price beat two other estimates, and solved code problems that other electricians didn't notice. He and his team were friendly, responsive, showed up on time and finished on time. On another occasion, Steve came out (on a Saturday) to fix an electrical problem with out air conditioning. I highly recommend him!
Description of Work: Steve replaced and updated the electrical panel, replaced outdoor lighting, and did other miscellaneous electrical work around the house.

Michael from Dependable quickly found that there were loose connections at the Verizon box and behind the wall plate, and re-crimped them. Phone working again, and nothing invasive or complicated. Steve, the owner, was upfront about pricing, so I knew exactly what to expect. I'd call Dependable again.
Description of Work: Landline phone stopped working, and Verizon FiOS tech thought new cable would need to be run from the outdoor box to the main phone jack.
