Bruce installed new receptacles on a wall of my bedroom that had none. I had requested them on the wall, but he determined that the walls weren't deep enough for the box, so he had to use boxes on the outside of the baseboard instead. He did a good job making them look as good as they could for not being in the wall, and he put them in a good spot just under the edge of the bed where they're out of sight but easy to reach. He also installed two light sockets in the crawl space on the same circuit. He installed a whole-house surge protector, and I'm very glad to have that. Bruce was professional and did good work. I will definitely call him again for future electrical work.
Description of Work: Installed a new breaker for a circuit feeding two receptacles in a bedroom and two pull-chain light sockets in the crawl space. Also installed a whole-house surge protector.

I loved having work done by this company! They were ahead of schedule, used booties to cover their shoes in the house, professional and very easy to work with. I purchased a deal for ceiling fans to be replaced. The scheduling of the service was easy (even with having to reschedule due to bad weather) and they did an awesome job. I will call them for any electrical work I need!

Before the installation, the electrician came to look at the room and give a consultation and estimate. He gave me the information I needed to purchase the lighting supplies and ceiling fan, which was a cost-savings for me. The morning of the installation, the same electrician came to install the purchased items. He hardwired the under and over cabinet lighting into the room light switch and the ceiling fan is hard-wired but operates on a remote, which had been recommended. James was pleasant to work with, very knowledgeable, and helpful with this project. He was great to work with.
Description of Work: Installed under cabinet and above cabinet lighting in sewing/craft room. These were hard-wired into a light switch. Assembled and installed one ceiling fan with light and remote.

Technician arrived on time after an appreciated courtesy reminder the day before the appointment. He provided a better fitting socket at no additional charge and provided a bulb (not normally done). The porch lights were also in need of repair and the technician was willing to go to the electrical supply store and pick up the parts without charging for the trip. I was only charged for the parts. He even supplied two flood bulbs, again without charge. I highly recommend Seven Hills Electric.
Description of Work: Repaired light in basement and repaired two lights on porch. Discussed installation of electrical outlet in bathroom.

Seven Hills Electric was superb. They did exactly what I wanted them to do and he did it beautifully. He said I should have all my outlets done the way he did them, because of old aluminum wiring. Everything has been functioning quite well. He had to get the parts for that and I don't think he charged me anything for that.
Description of Work: He went into a socket that was not functioning and changed it all out, so that it makes it safe.

The electrician was courteous and timely, did everything we asked him to do. I plan to use them again on some electrical projects for the home I live in. Very pleased.
Description of Work: Purchased a deal through Angie's List which made this really affordable: electrician installed a bathroom ventilation fan, repaired numerous switches and receptacles, checked wiring and made some repairs where necessary in a rental house with a lot of problems and old wiring.

We had a strange issue where it looked like a fuse was blown but none of them were tripped. Bruce came out at the specified time and managed to get the power on. Unfortunately the patch only lasted 2 days. Bruce came right back out and managed to quickly discover the root of the issue. We're very pleased with the work done, professionalism and knowledge demonstrated by the whole company. We'll definitely use them for more work.

Communication is great with this company. If you call the main line you get a receptionist that will help you schedule your appointments, and also has knowledge of the business. The contractor was on time and very professional and polite. He looked at the work to be done, and started right away. We ran to the parts store for a fan ceiling mount, and he continued to work on the switch that we wanted installed in a different room while we were gone. The mount that we purchased was thought to not work with our setup, so the contractor instructed that we needed to get a different one on-line, and call when it came in. They agreed to come back at no extra charge to finish the job once we had the part. After he left I personally got up on the ladder and started to mess with the configuration of the bracket and mounting ball/down rod (13' feet high and a 45 degree sloped ceiling). I figured out a way to make it work (without any modifications), and called the contractor back. He was there the next day and finished the job. He was very apologetic about the situation. He got it working and setup correctly per the manufactures instructions. Long story short we would use this company again for our electrical needs. While the electrician did make a mistake that cost us a little extra time, and me being up on the ladder they did make it right. Also they we not going to charge us more money when they thought we had the wrong parts. That type of customer service goes a long way. While they are not the cheapest we have found, sometimes you get what you pay for. This company is worth the little extra and not spending your time shopping around to save a few bucks.
Description of Work: Hang a ceiling fan (13' high on a 45 degree angle), and install a switch in another room.

That turned out fine. I had some lights installed in the living room. Just one electrician came out and it took him a little over 2 hours to do that. I was pleased with the service, but there was an additional charge compared to the deal that I purchased.

They came on time, were very professional and friendly. We showed them some other things we wanted done later and then they got to work. They did a wonderful job and put the switch inside the closet like we asked. It was great to be able to display my tree in time for Christmas. It looked lovely!
Description of Work: We have a ledge above our hall closet that opens to the foyer. I usually put a small Christmas tree up there but with no electrical outlet we always had to run an extension cord down the wall. It looked messy and was constantly getting tugged on(worried it would pull the tree down on our heads!). They came and ran an outlet up there.

James was fantastic. He was on time and spent time on the first visit figuring out exactly what I wanted to accomplish and offered professional opinions when I needed help deciding. He went above and beyond - for example helping me label my electrical box as he turned off circuits, etc. He has put up lights inside and outside of my house, as well as ceiling fans.
Description of Work: I have had James out to my house twice to put up new light fixtures and ceiling fans.

The electrician was very knowledgeable, patient and professional. Installed the two outlets efficiently. Was installing a lighting fixture I had purchased, but it would not stay level and could not be tightened. I will send the fixture back and try again.

there was an electrical shortage. it took the electrician a long time before he was able to determine where the break in the current was occurring. The break in the current was at a place that we least expected; it was a light that was still burning the circuit. The lights used bulks that became very hot and had burned the wires inside. At the recommendation of the electrician I changed the bulbs to one that did not get as hot.

The work was outstanding as well as the electrician. He was on time, very knowledgeable and profession. I am very impressed with Seven Hills and WILL most definitely use them again and also recommend to friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: I had purchased two of the deals for ceiling fan installations. James arrived as requested at the appointed time and started right to work removing the old fan in our den and explained/answered a couple of questions that I had on the wiring. He was very professional in his work. After completing the den James proceed to install the new fan in the kitchen, again explaining what he was doing as well as pointing outlet how this one wire could control lights in the kitchen and the fan.

I enjoyed having Seven Hills Electric work in our home. I believe we found them via an Angie's List coupon. We called them because the lights in our kitchen and dining rooms were constantly flickering. They tried to simply replace a few breakers, but the entire backside of the box was rusted. So I called them back several weeks later and scheduled an appointment to replace the entire box. Their price was very reasonable. Replacing the circuit box took an entire day, and fixed the flickering lights problem. If we need an electrician again, I will definitely call them back, no hesitation. Friendly, professional, intelligent.
Description of Work: Seven Hills Electric (formerly Mr Electric) diagnosed our flickering lights in the dining room and kitchen, and replaced our entire circuit box in the basement.

not good and I would never reccomend that company to anyone. You might want to tell him he needs to retu rn the items he charged me for and then took with him or I will see him in court. I am very hesitant to use your service again. This is why I used it to begin with so I wouldn't get taken. The time he said he came and left was wrong too that way he could charge me more!21.70 he charged me50.00 for 100 ft. of wire.......used14 ft.2" tookremaining wire with him. he charged me 24.00 for two siding blocks that i don't have he took those with him also he told me so he charged me 12.00 for22 ft. of wire and used14ft3" took the remainder with him. he charged me7.00 for14 ft and used 12ft 2" took the rest with him. He didn't use the materials my husband ppurchased and was going to use himself but died before he cou ld. I'm sure there were others I was charged for but couldn't prove. I told him it was for labor only as I already had materials.
Description of Work: I had the proper materials already here but he didn't use them instead he used his and charged me nearly 100.00 He charged me for his materials for example 100 feet of wire 89.00 used about ten feet and took the rest with him and there were other things I ask him about and he said it was in his truck also I told him I wanted the material I had paid for and his services were no longer needed. He has yet to return them i have call him and written a letter asking for the items I have paid for, if I don't get them I will take him to small claims court. The items could be returned to me and just left on the porch so he doesn't need to even see me. When he gave me the bill and I had a chance to look it over I could see it was so wrong and padded.

Response from Seven Hills Electric
[removed members name], Let me start by saying how very sorry we are that you were not happy with our service. Our customers are our priority and we were truly sad to hear of your displeasure. That being said, I do feel that there may have been some misunderstanding on your part regarding our invoicing. I will take the opportunity to explain how it works. Looking at your particular invoice, I see that we used 100 feet of 14-2 Romex. On our invoice the quantity means the number of feet of wire used or the number of each item used to complete our job. For example: Quantity 100 14-23 Romex wire at $50.00 is equal to 100 feet of the size 14-2 Romex wire at a cost of $50.00. I think you may have misunderstood it as meaning that we used 14 feet and 2" of wire. That is not the case; the 14-2 is used only to describe the dimensions of the particular wire used. The very first number under quantity which was 100 is the amount of wire used. To be clear, James only bought material that was needed to complete your job. yes, you already had material at your home that had been purchased previously, but unfortunately it was not the right material. At your November 22, 2013 appointment James looked through that material and noticed that you had receipts: he suggested at that time that you return the material for a refund as he was not able to use it for this particular job. You agreed and asked James to get the correct material at that time you scheduled an installation date of November 27, 2013. James came back on November 27, 2013 and completed the initial installation. Afterwards, he was called and told by you not to come back and complete the job. At this time the only material James has in his possession belonging to you is two sliding blocks that he kept for his return trip to finish the room. Unfortunately, the appt. never occurred so he still has that material, which he will return to you. Again our apologies - if we can answer any questions or can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to call.

Our repairman, Jim, gave us an estimate, and he stuck to it. He came back on time, when promised, and on budget. He also gave us helpful hints on various electrical issues at the house (built in 1971). He was slightly more expensive than another estimate, but we felt the quality was well worth it. We would gladly use Seven Hills Electric again.
