Excellent. Mr Bush gave an estimate and told us what to go buy at Lowe's. He came back and installed everything as estimated. When we threw a couple of new requirements in, he gave a fair price for the work and immediately went at it. He did not try to upsell or ask us to install anything that would be inappropriate (only four light in the kitchen instead of six).

Excellent! Mr. Bush is a true professionals satisfying his customers. He also had an assistant with him who I would also rate the same. They initially had a problem with our power but did not quit until this was identified and solved. I feel he charged us a reasonable fee and also felt he would not be one to overcharge his customers. He is very personable and we will definitely call him back for any future work. Highly satisfied!

Before Mr. Bush and his apprentice came to our home to do the work, I discussed the problem and he immediately inform me that he knew what was needed and the price for the work being done was perfect. Once he came, he went right to work and in no time all the work was done. I have dealt with other Electricians but this was by far the most peasant experience that I have had and a long time. I have been sold on his professionalism and the workmanship of the completed project. He is now my choice for all future electrical projects.

Great, He quickly identified and understood what the problem was and then resolved them He gave advice on other issues we had, which could have gained him additional work but advised otherwise. I will probably use him again if I have other electrical issues and have no problem recommending him to others.

I had purchased the $99.00 deal. The arrived on time and immediately got to work. First they did some troubleshooting to determine why the circuit breaker failed. They replaced the circuit breaker and repaired several receptacles that had not been installed correctly by the builder. They explained everything in the process. They then installed the front timer. They made sure everything was in working order before they left. They were both very kind, courteous, and professional. I was very pleased with their work and would definitely hire them again.

He quickly found a broken electrical wire in the box serving that fixture. When that was fixed, but there was still a problem he traced the line. He was finally able to resolve the problem which was not as simple as expected. Thoughout he was professional and pleasant.

Great! I had a Deal that I purchased for $99 for 2 hours of labor/or 2 guys for one hour. When I called to make appointment, the phone was answered and I got one within the week. On the day of service they notified me in plenty of time that they were in traffic and would be 30 minutes later and showed up right on time. They were very polite and got right to work. All the work was done within an hour. I got a business card for some future work.

Wow, these guys are fast, professional and worth every dime. This is the second time I've had them come out and do a job for me. Once again, they asked questions and then got right to work. I cannot recommend them enough. They get the job done fast, fast, fast. They don't leave a mess and always go the extra mile. They make sure you are pleased before they leave. They know what they're doing and want your repeat business. I could not ask for a better electrician.

I would never do it again. I wanted a ceiling fan put in and some other little minor things. They took care of the little minor things. They took the old ceiling fan down and said that he would not put in the new ceiling fan because what was up there was the wrong fan box, that I didn't have the right fan box. He was here less than an hour. He could have just as easily gone to Lowe's, which is 10 minutes away, got a fan box, come in and put my fan up and still be under his two hours, but he just said, "I'm not doing it," and then he left. My primary purpose was the ceiling fan. He brought somebody else with him. It was supposed to be two hours for one person and one hour for two people. So he had somebody else doing the little odd stuff. He did a couple of odd things. But there was still plenty of time. He could have done the fan. He also didn't have a very pleasant attitude. So I would not do that again. I felt like I wasted my money. He changed a fixture in my attic that took probably less than 5 minutes. They fixed a switch in my living room which probably took 30 seconds. There was a light fixture in my hallway that I told him that there was a problem with the light flickering when we would turn the light on and turn it off. He changed out the bulb and told me I had the wrong bulb. I don't believe that that is so because I have two of these fixtures and the other one doesn't do that. It still flickers. It is not as bad as it was, but it's still doing it. With the ceiling fan, because he brought his little protege, the guy gave him the job of doing the fan. He put the fan altogether and he got up and he said, "Well, you have the wrong fan box." I said doesn't he have stuff like that on his truck. He said, "You'll have to go get a fan box and if I do it, it will cost another $90, " or some ridiculous rate. He didn't want to do it. I got the impression when he came to the door that he didn't want to be there. It was just bad vibes all the way around. When I bought it, I got an e-mail from Angie's List that said that the electrician had been contacted and that he would be getting in touch with me soon. Three days went by and I never heard from him. So I called and I made an appointment with him for something like either the next day or the day after. They could have done worse, but they could have done heck of a lot better. I don't think I got my money's worth. He was pretty much on time. He could have gone to Lowe's and got a fan box so he could put my fan up. He could have called me when he got my order. He could have been pleasant when he was here. He could have explained things, instead of just brushing me off. If he had gone the extra minute or two and gone and gotten the fan box and put the fan up that would have gotten him very good marks. I would tell a friend or a family member to look elsewhere.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal from them. It was $99 for two hours of electrical labor.

I highly recommend Bush’s Electric Company. We received excellent service. The owner, Andrew Bush is very professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. Best of all he arrived ahead of schedule and the work was affordable. The work was done to code and I’m very satisfied.
Description of Work: He installed an exterior wall charger for our electric car. He installed a new circuit breaker in the breaker panel, ran conduit and wire from the back of the garage to the front of the garage ending in a new junction box, then drilled through the brick and connected the outdoor electric wall charger to the indoor junction box. The setup looks very neat, and the wall charger is at an ergonomic height.
