Andy and John completely rewired my hot tub in the cold New Years weekend. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and ensured the safety of me and any users of the outdoor hot tub. They used the correct breakers, wire gage, sealed the underground pipes from moisture, and grounded the system. The previous electrician had not performed those actions and did not follow the legal/safety requirements of connecting the spa. Andy and John ensured my safety and the corrected any potential hazards to my guests and property. I will be hiring Bush’s Electric Company for all my future electrical needs.
Description of Work: Hot tub kept tripping breakers.

Mr Bush evaluated my problem and found that the double switch controlled a wall outlet which was being used for the bedside lamp had been piggy backed off main switch for the overhead fan had become loose causing the sporadic interruption. He installed two new switches and problem went away.

Job was completed and I am pleased with final results. I was not particularly pleased about an additional cost of $25.00 for a light switch box. I did not like issues such as this to arise at the last minute. Contractor needs to ask customer more questions prior to scheduling services. I hired this company because of its price of installation. I gave a score B for price and professionalism because of the last minute cost. May seem a small issue to some, but to me, its important.

Arrived on time. Owner was present and also brought a helper. So, the $99 for two hours of work was not accurately stated. Specifically, it became $99 for the first TWO MAN HOURS (two men for one hour) and $125 per HALF hour thereafter realizing there were to men present. The two men were at my home for a half hour extra for a total of 1 and 1/2 hours the total was $224. This was my case as I needed a part so there was down time. The learning point is: if they would have been in my home an added 1/2 hour for a total of two hours, the total would have been $349. I never had a contractor quote a price, bring an added person, and then charge for the added person. If you use this contractor, you need to have all new parts or products available and know they need to have it all done within one hour to have the Angie's price of $99 for two hours (which in this case was MAN hours). Contractor was good but expensive.
Description of Work: Light switch fixed, fan installed, and closet light replaced.

He promised the job could be completed in a day and he met the timeline. The job was done efficiently and the new circuit was labeled. He explained what he did and what I needed to know as a homeowner- area on the new circuit, location of the new breaker, etc, I would not hesitate to hire Bush’s Electric in the future. Mr. Bush is responsive, punctual, and professional.
Description of Work: Mr. Bush split an over-loaded circuit into two.

Everything went well. Price more than fair. They were professional, friendly, fast, and informative. There is something to be said when the owner comes to perform the repairs rather than one of many service reps under a larger company. Service was top notch. I would certainly recommend to a friend.

The electricians did exactly what we asked in a timely manner. They had to go into the attic, and the fact that it isn't floored didn't bother them in the slightest. There wasn't much of a mess made, but they still insisted on cleaning up.
