Excellent! 2 electricians came and quickly determined the problems and went to work. They answered all my questions, explaining things that I wanted explained. Friendly but always working, they cleaned up well. In addition, they both wore masks for their and my protection in this time of COVID.

I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE ENTIRE TEAM. I MET WITH OWNER FOR AN ESTIMATE. HE WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PROFESSIONAL. HE EVEN SAID THAT SOME THINGS WERE FINE AND NO NEED TO BE TOUCHED OR UPGRADED. THERE WAS NO QUESTION AFTER ALL MY QUOTES REVIEWED, THEY WERE NOT THE CHEAPEST MIDDLE OF THE ESTIMATES BUT I FELT VERY CONFIDENT THAT THEY WOULD DO A GREAT JOB AND GAINED MY TRUST RIGHT OFF FROM THE START. CANDACE SCHEDULED THE WORK WITHIN THE WEEK, VERY POLITE AND ACCOMODATED MY SCHEDULE - EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. TWO TECHNICANS ARRIVED PROMPTLY, VERY PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGABLE, WORK ETHIC, KEPT ME INFORMED OF ANY ISSUES, GAVE ME OPTIONS, DID WHATEVER I ASKED AND CLEANED UP AFTER THE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED. I HAVE A BUSINESS OF MY OWN AND WILL CERTAINLY REFER SJ RYAN TO ANYONE THAT ASKS FOR AN ELECTRICIAN. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE MARLA CALDWELL

I am extremely pleased with the professionalism of this electrician and his crew. From beginning to end they were great. I have worked with other electricians who were good, but this company is better. No mistakes, no excuses, no delays, just good reliable work. They advised me well on how to get this done and did not pressure me in any way to spend more. Of 5 electricians that I contacted, this is the only one that intelligently requested a photo of my electrical box so that he could properly assess the installation needs. Very flexible when I suggested some add on work; he helped me to price out some options. Eventually I decided not to go that route since he advised me that the add-on work might lead to frequent and annoying tripped circuit breakers.
Description of Work: These guys provided me with a whole house surge surpressor and installed it.

Information gathering on the phone was thorough, 2 staff members arrived on time, work done quickly and efficiently. We installed some ourselves which, in retrospect, took too much time and one fixture that we could not get flush to the ceiling was easily installed by the SJ Ryan staff - wish we had hired them for all of the work we needed done! I was especially impressed by the staff Tyler and Brad for being so courteous. After introducing themselves, they were productive and quiet. At one point, they asked if it would be acceptable for them to turn on their radio, which was no problem for me. Customer service A+.
Description of Work: Installed 8 light fixtures.

I submitted a request through my homeowners warranty after business hours and had a phone call first thing in the morning and an appointment scheduled the following day. 2 people came and took care of the problem (we had tried having a friend install the fixture and he thought there was an electrical problem. Apparently the electrical problem was the person who helped us. Everything was resolved quickly. The payment is per our warranty.

He arrived on time and was extremely professional. I wanted to change some outlets and was planning on doing it on my own, but I could not figure out what breaker they were. He spent time with me working through the problem when others just gave up on it. We ended up figuring out that during a previous renovation two breakers needed to be turned off at the same time. I would recommend him without any hesitation and would call him up immediately if I had need.

There were no troubles with scheduling and no additional costs beyond the price of the deal. They were punctual and even called before their arrival. One technician came for the work and he reset the outlets. They were able to complete the work so quickly that he inspected around to ensure there were no additional electrical issues. Everything worked out fine.
Description of Work: We purchased a Big Deal for an electrical service call that included one hour of labor. We had some outlets that had come loose after we had some tiling installed.

My wife called them to come check our microwave but instead they just stuck a thing to the power source and said there were no problem with the electricity which we already knew. They then told us that didn't do appliances. We still wondered why they came in the first place and then charged us for the service call.

Owner answered phone and dispatched tech out to check power failure. Both owner and service tech was professional, courteous and honest. Neither strung me along to make a quick buck. I would definitely used again and refer them to all our friends. The issue was a Virginia power issue but he told me that on the phone. It took more phone calls and more time waiting from Virginia power

Repaired our non-functioning overhead light fixture in no time. Impressive how definite the diagnosis for the switch replacement needed was given. Also quoted us a price to re-install our central circuit panel, which was deemed advisable but not critical, so we declined.

Since the power was going to be off most of the day, I left the house and Mr. Ryan did the job. He also found why I was throwing the den breaker when I plugged in the vacuum cleaner. The breaker in the main box was improperly wired by the last man. Now everything is straight and I feel so much safer with the breaker box in good order.
Description of Work: Replaced my breaker box and added a whole house surge protector. Really happy with the work.

Sean drove all the way to Hopewell to look at the fuse box and give me an estimate. We had a contract on the house and he made arrangements to go back to do the work the following week. He was even able to do it a few days earlier than planned because of a schedule change on his end. Sean was very polite, punctual and called me to update what was going on every step of the way.

We had been having problems with these lights for over 3 months. I had to replace one set in late November and then the other set went bad in early January. Since the lights were wired and linked off a single outlet, I decided to have them unlink the sets and wire each light to its own outlet.

The only complaint I had was that the technician didn't realize it was an Angie's list deal with a timed period of work - he worked efficiently, but could have finished I believe without taking me beyond the Angie's list hour I had contracted for, so I paid for another 1/2 hour and the prevailing rate.
