First of all, I would like to say that I have used Accurate Electric for all my electrician needs for many years. I initially found them on the internet and called because Manfred is a veteran and it is a family owned business. I used them in my last house to perform many jobs, probably the most complex was replacing my breaker box with a larger box and wired my new swimming pool and added outdoor electrical outlets out near the pool. I have used them for a number of jobs in my new home (one year old), Everything from adding recessed lighting, installing fans and various other electrical items. I recently became interested in having a whole house stand-by generator installed. I initially interacted with a big box store and while they advertised the generator and such, they were not too responsive to my potential job. I then thought of Accurate Electric. I called Manfred and I believe he came over the same day. I told him what I wanted. He did an engineering assessment and sized up the job. He actually told me I could get by with a smaller output generator than the one I had in mind, but I wanted that particular generator because of the reviews. Manfred made recommendations on where to purchase the generator and other hardware and also offered to buy the generator as part of the job. However, he recommended that I buy the generator so the warrantee would be in my name and that was attractive for a number of reasons. With Manfred's help, I went online and purchased the generator and required breaker box as well as a mobile link capability. I was able to save considerable money from the generator I was going to purchase at the big box store. Accurate electric made the entire experience pretty much turn key. He subbed the gas line work and foundation out. Everything was complete and ready when the generator and parts arrived. The entire installation was flawless and is actually attractive and does not detract from the beauty of my home and lawn. I would absolutely recommend these folks for any electrical work. Manfred and his son Wyatt have become family. The $10,000 I quoted above for this job included everything I purchased in addition to Accurate Electric's installation costs. When we moved into this house, I was recovering from heart surgery and couldn't do much of anything at the time. For whatever reason, the dryer piping that came with dryer didn't match up with the house dryer vent connection, and the dryer cord was wrong. . I called Manfred on a Saturday and he actually dropped what he was doing and came over and hooked up the dryer for my wife. He would not take any money for the job. He is a true gentleman.

They did a great job, they were pleasant it was a father and son team. They were prompt. They gave me estimate and the price was exactly as the estimate and they got the job done in a very timely manner, they took like six hours, they cleaned after and they were aware of the things that would shock me and they gave me solutions, they are very competitive.

I am very pleased with the work that Accurate Electric did at my house. Manfred and Wyatt came out to look at the job and were quick to respond to my initial inquiry as well as get back to me with what type of transfer switch options I had - I needed a 120v transfer switch instead of a 240v, so some research had to be done on what was out there - but heard back later that day. They were on time and all of the work was done in a professional and high quality manner and the site was cleaned up after they were done. I would highly recommend Accurate Electric and will be using them as my electricians from now on.
Description of Work: Installed generator transfer switch, new light fixture, and 2 new outlets.

Wyatt and his staff showed up on time and was very courteous and professional. There was a slight incident w/markings, however prior to their departure, he had secured repairs for the following day at no additional cost to me. Todd showed up the next morning, patched the small hole to perfection. Will use again and recommend to others.

Guys showed up, had the right tools and parts, did a professional job. Only a couple small issues with clean up at the end. I didn't notice that they'd moved a heavy dresser to get to a spot to install a light, and didn't move it back. Unfortunately, I can't move it back because of an injury. I had some issues with insulation tracked down to the front door and in the "powder room" bathroom. Again, I had some problems tidying up because my vacuum chose today to give me problems (carpet brush wouldn't engage). Finally, I didn't notice that they hadn't finished sweeping up insulation in the garage, which is also a problem for me due to an injury. Don't get me wrong, they did a good job with the install. If they had a portable shop vac in the van, cleanup would have taken minutes and I'd say the job was perfect.

.After looking through Angie's list of electrical contractors and their reviews I decided to use Accurate Electric. One thing that stood out for me was that their was a master electrician on the job at all times. I called and they answered the phone immediately. We discussed what I needed done, he asked a few questions then gave me a quote to which I agreed. We then set a time to do the job. They showed up on time, did an excellent job then cleaned up afterwards. I really appreciate the work that was done by Manfred, Wyatt and Dave. If I need any electrical work done in the future I will definitely call Manfred at Accurate Electric.

This vendor went above and beyond to accomodate out needs!!! Mr. Slack came by the house immediately upon receiving my call for assistance. As opposed to other electricians we reached out to, he thoroughly explained what needed to be done and how he would go about doing it. He was completely educated on the requirements and codes for hot tub installation, whereas the others were not. He also gave us an estimate for the work right there on the spot, which we didn't receive from the others either. Given that he had to coordinate with a separate contractor (who was not always very responsive or accomodating), Mr. Slack continuously made himself available at our discretion in order to ensure that our needs were met. The price we were quoted was less than other electricians we reached out to, and was actually less than we had expected. Originally, the concrete guys were going to lay the conduit for the electrical lines, but Mr. Slack made himself available the day that the installation was to take place and did the work himself (which he, by proposal, didn't need to do...and he was going on vacation the day after, so we were quite surprised that he showed up and did the work himself when he didn't have to). In addition, we changed our plans after the installation of the conduit was complete -- and Mr. Slack, being very supportive and understanding, simply ran to get more supplies and changed the design immediately. Our patio was done and the hot tub was delivered while Mr. Slack was on vacation; and although he had JUST returned, he knew that we had wanted to have the hot tub up and running for the 4th of July, so he brought his crew to the house as soon as he got back and completed all of the work. I can't begin to explain how professional and accommodating the crew at Accurate Electric is. We will most definitely be calling Mr. Slack again for additional electrical work...as a matter of fact, I believe that we have found our go-to electrician and will likely forego any need to do comparison shopping for quotes. We are that confident in the price and quality of work of Accurate Electric!

The 3 hours flew, and the work was done perfectly. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Mr. Slack and his son and their associate put in 3 ceiling fans, two of which had to be completely wired since there was no existing ceiling outlet. In addition to putting the fans in, they also put in wall outlets for each one, with separate switches for light and for fan. They did an amazing job, and all 3 fans work beautifully. They were pleasant, efficient, and totally knowledgeable about the project, and had completed the work in less than 3 hours. Mr. Slack also fixed wiring on a washing machine outlet, and when it still did not work consistently, took it upon himself to go the the hardware store to find the just-right piece--and the washer works wonderfully again. All in all, they did excellent work in all ways. I highly recommend Accurate Electric and will certainly call them in the future.

Process began with searching Angie's List for a small, reputable electrician in the King George area. Based on reviews, I decided to try Accurate Electric. Coordinated an appointment that was mutually acceptable to both our schedules. They arrived promptly and made very short work of the job with minimal mess. As the outlet is intended as a surprise for my wife, the ability to schedule while she was at work and the complete lack of evidence of their visit was key. Father/Son team with a third electrician performed the work. Father is a retired veteran. Excellent work in a timely, professional fashion. Price seemed like it might have been a little steep but I admittedly didn't bother to do any comparing so I'm in no real position to complain.

I sent an e-mail on Sunday and got a call back within hours. I explained the problem and Manfred gave me a verbal cost estimate which I accepted. It was high ($175) but I think that's the nature of electrical work. He was able to show up within 48 hours and did a good, thorough, and complete job. The price charged was what was quoted verbally. A hole was left in the wall and Manfred suggested a local person who can do the repair for less that $50. All in all, I am satisfied with the quality and responsiveness and love my new light fixture!

Manfred Slack came out in November and gave us an estimate on work we needed for a new electrical panel, wiring and connection to our new hot tub as well as an outside hookup for a generator. He and his crew were knowledgeable, did great work and finished up all the projects we needed in a timely manner as well as helping us with a few electrical problems we have had for years. I would happily recommend Accurate Electric to anyone and will use them in the future for any electrical issues we may have.

The father/son team has always responded quickly and showed up precisely on time. Each of these visits were opportunities to take advantage of us, but instead we received gracious and thorough explanations (from a Master Electrician) and the problems were fixed for really reasonable costs. Everyone was professional and friendly. We feel that these are good, trustworthy, skilled people.
Description of Work: We have called on Accurate Electric a few times now. Once to evaluate the placement and operation of our GFI outlets, once to fix our sump pump wiring, and most recently to check out an outlet that was making sounds we had not noticed before. I asked questions and had a thorough discussion about our breaker box; got a free estimate for replacement, etc., even though that was not why they were there.

Accurate was able to help us out just over an hour later (as they promised when I called them) and worked quickly and professionally. They also took it in stride when the alarm went off after they fixed the problem! I too was glad to patronize a veteran and a family owned small business. I would definitely call upon them again, and recommend them to friends and neighbors.

I have been using Accurate Electric for the past couple of years. I first selected Accurate because it is a Veteran Owned Business, but now select Accurate for all our electrical needs because of the quality craftsmanship, attention to detail and reasonable price. We are remodeling three bathrooms and our old electricl distribution panel was filled to capacity. With only short notice, Accurate Electric came in and installed an expanded breaker panel, quickly and professionally. Manfred is a true gentleman and is a pleasure to work with.
