Was the slightly lower than the bid I did accept. But the bid I accepted was for a GC that included all the work I needed (insulation, drywall, etc.) was not selected as it was easier to hire a GC to oversee all subcontractors.
Description of Work: Provide quote to run electricity from my house to my new garage/shed and install light fixtures and outlets.

Excellent!! Entire work, remove canisters and install pendants took an extended timeframe due to delay in pendant light parts which WE ordered from an electrical supply company. Cannot say enough positive things about Kenny and his assistants. They were at the door when they said they were going to be there. Work performed was excellent. Since pendant were being installed in a cathedral ceiling Kenny took great effort to ensure that all pendants (2 rows of 3 pendants) were suspended evenly. This required installing the pendant and then adjusting each of the pendants for overall evenness, which required uninstalling, adjusting heights and re-installing. He is an excellent mechanic and very personable. If we require any further electrical work we will definitely call Mr. Electric!! On time, very professional, and price competitive!
Description of Work: Removed recessed lighting in great room and installed pendant lights, Additionally installed whole home surge protector which provides an additional level of protection to home electronics.

The electrician took out the old circuit breaker and installed a new one. Since the rate was cut the company used an inexperienced electrician. While he did the breaker installation, okay; he left a ragged hole in the drywall where the surge protector was installed. It was July before they had a wall repairman come by to fix the wall. I would consider it fixed now.
Description of Work: Mr. Electric removed old and installed a new Circuit Breaker Box and added a Surge Protector.

James came out and looked at the site first and explained to me what the work entails. James was very professional and easy to talk to. We then scheduled a date for the work to be done. Mr. Electric came out on the date and time agreed to and performed the work. The electrician doing the work was very knowledgeable and explained to me in detail what work will be done. The work was done in a timely, safe and professional manner. The contractor cleaned up the site after they were done. They did exactly what they said they were going to do for the original price agreed to. I felt comfortable around this contractor. I hired Mr. Electric again later to install additional lighting in my garage and had the same positive experience. I intend to hire them again to install some kitchen light fixtures.
Description of Work: I purchased "a Big deal" from Mr. Electric for an electrical panel swap out which included the whole house surge protector. Our existing panel was old, rusty, and had some blanks removed so I felt it wasn't safe and needed replacing. Mr. Electric responded right away to schedule a date/time to do the work. They were very accommodating on doing the work within my busy schedule.

The electrical system inspection went very well, and I was glad that I had purchased this Angie's List voucher. Mr. Electric arrived at the scheduled appointment time, explained exactly what he planned to accomplish during the three-hour appointment. He worked efficiently and systematically throughout the three floors of my townhouse, answering any questions that I threw at him. He offered to return to replace the old outlets and switches, offering a discount for being an Angie's List member; however, his quote was exceptionally high ($800), especially since I would have to purchase all the parts as per his list.
Description of Work: Mr. Electric performed an inspection of the 40+ year-old electrical panel and all of the outlets and switches in my townhouse. Since I moved in ten years ago, I have had numerous issues with power surges and flickering lights. etc. He was able to resolve these issues and more during the three hours he spent at my home.

Mr. Electric (Bruce Shiflitt) was on time and pleasant and knowledgeable about what needed to be done. He spent a couple of hours the first day replacing the overhead sink light. However, the replacement (which I had bought to be used) turned out to be defective, so he and his helper had to go to Lowe's to get a new one. He didn't charge me for the new one, and proceeded to successfully replace the old light. On the next day, he came alone and put in the new hall socket and replaced the outlets. I would hire him again to do any further work that needs to be done at my home.
Description of Work: I have an older home which needed the two-pronged outlets replaced with three-pronged ones. I also needed the florescent light over my kitchen sink replaced and a new outlet put in my hall, which previously had none.

We are very pleased! James W. was the person who handled both providing the initial estimate and the installation of all components. He was very professional and pleasant. We have roughly 30 feet of steps that come down a steep hill in our front yard, leading to the front entrance of our house. As I have an 88 year old mother, we just installed a strong railing that she can hang on to when coming down the steps. But at night, the steps are almost impossible to see, even with our porch light on. So, we wanted good, strong lanscape lighting that would light those steps enough so my mother could see them in the dark. James listened to what our goal was, and then he personally chose just the right product that not only accomplished the goal, but also look great and actually complement the railing. Most importantly, we now have a safe stairway that is entirely visible at night. And, since Mr. Electric is associated with Home Depot, I was able to put the entire cost of the lights and the installation on my Home Depot credit card. When my tax return gets in, it'll be paid off by the end of April. So the Home Depot connection, in my experience, makes Mr. Electric much more convenient when it comes to financing. Great job, Mr. Electric! I also must mention, I had quotes from 3 companies. Mr. Electric was the most affordable and fair, I think.
Description of Work: Mr. Electric installed landscape lighting at our house, which included the installation of an outdoor electric plug on the front of the house.

Service man completed the tasks in a timely manner. Very pleased with the work that was done. Would definitely have them back.
Description of Work: Living room had no lights. There were some loose wires in the receptacles. The service man found the problem immediately and everything fixed within less than forty five minutes. We also needed a new bathroom fan and light installed on the second floor. Company contacted us with the make and model number of the fax we should purchase. Arrived a few days later and installed the fan and light..

Overall, it went very well. We will call Mr Electric again if we need an electrician.
Description of Work: The lights in three of our 1st floor rooms had been flickering for weeks, and we purchased the Angie's List coupon for Mr Electric to label our electrical panel and do a full house inspection. The gentleman arrived on time, was very clean, professional, and friendly. He found several breakers in need of replacement, and took care of that for us. No more flickering lights. Most home owners can replace their own breakers, but my husband and I would rather have a professional. Mr Electric came back two days later to label the panel per our Angie's List coupon. Three workers came and had it done in no time. It's so nice having the panel labeled properly, bc the previous home owner labeled everything incorrectly.

We first had Mr. Electric come and give us an estimate on a variety of Electrical work that we need to get done around our house. The guy who came kept mentioning that if we use them we get a discount because of Angie's list- he brought it up, not me, which immediately caught my attention. Two weeks after that visit we had him come back to move a lightswitch for us and he did an amazing job. He didn't let the fact our dog barked at him the entire time bother him, he was on time, completed the job quickly and then vacuumed up the mess from having to cut into the drywall. We were very impressed and when we get the rest of the work done we are going to use Mr. Electric again!
Description of Work: We had them come do an estimate, then two weeks later had them come back to move a light-switch.

First, I purchased two hours of electrical service at a discounted price from another website. Their original price is 100 dollars per hour which I think is relatively high. So, I called to set up an appointment for the end of June; however, I guess the appointment was not recorded and no one showed up; so I called that day to reschedule which was a day in August; I wanted some routine work done. First, I wanted them to add an outlet to a wall upstairs, then replace an existing outlet that was worn out, then install a baseboard heater with a thermostat, and then look at the lighting fixtures underneath the cabinets in the kitchen since the transformer had to be replaced. James, the manager was very knowledgeable and understanding by explaining the situation with the Company; they have two offices (Richmond and Charlottesville) in which the Richmond electricians (2 of them were terminated within a month of each other) and James did not have a staff to perform more labor-intensive tasks. As a result, James could not install the baseboard heater with a thermostat (two person job). James did perform the outlet work and did look at the lighting fixtures underneath the cabinets; was surprised to see a transformer (I own an old house) but he did not have a transformer inside his truck or at the shop. However, James did look at my breaker box (I already paid for the time) and fixed breaker switches and re-routed some lines to lighten the load from an individual breaker switch. James was very polite, professional, and knowledgeable; however, if their staff is not in order then major jobs will be difficult to complete.
Description of Work: Would have went better if their staffing was in order.

All wall outlets were checked for current. The face of the circuit breaker box was removed and all breakers were checked to see if any were defective. He then discovered in a subpanel box (used for power generated by a portable generator) a circuit that had been tripped and that turned out to be the problem.
Description of Work: Part of my house lost its electricity due to my using a portable heater. I phoned at 2pm and by 3pm James had arrived. He surveyed my problem, checked the circuit boxes, found the problem and fixed it.

Mr. Brad Shifflett showed up for the appointment at the scheduled time. He was very personable and efficient at peforming his job. He explained to me the entire process and he suggested other electrical jobs I might want to have completed but it was never an issue of him trying to persuade me to get anything else done. If I decided to get any other electrical work done I will contact this company and ask for Mr. Shifflett.
