Mr. Bush answered our call for service and came to the house the same day. He efficiently and effectively changed a 220 outlet to 115 for the installation of a gas stove. Great service. His price was substantially lower than other quotes. I will continue to use Bush's Electric for any other electrical needs.

The provider was late and when I called to check on them he informed me that he was running late on one of his jobs. We re-scheduled for 3 hours later. The provider was on-time for the rescheduled appointment and accomplished the repair promptly and professionally. They made it look so easy. I was very impressed with the providers service and professionalism and would most assuredly recommend them to my closest friends and family.

Andrew was fantastic. I was a little skeptical when I called and got voicemail but Andrew returned my call within five minutes. He and his helper arrived in less than three hours, they were very friendly and professional. I don't think they were here more than 30 minutes! Everything was perfect.
Description of Work: Andrew rewired an unused 220 outlet so I could have a much needed 110. He also removed an old ceiling fan and replaced it with a pendant light.

I was so impressed by Mr. Bush's work last week. I was thrilled to notice another Angie's List offering by his company and I quickly jump on the opportunity. All same accolades were repeated on this visit. If I need electrical work done in the future I definitely will be contacting them.

Don't bother calling this guy. Mom and Pop operation with no professionalism and no concern for the customer.
Description of Work: The owner answered my call at his home and the noise in the background made me repeat myself constantly. He agreed to come out to check out the electrical issue I had with my guest bath at 4pm the next day. At 4:30pm I called and was told it would be another 30min. I needed to get to chuch at 5pm and told him I would find someone else.

I've used them a couple of times. I've referred them to a couple of folks. He has always been honest. He's very thorough. He uses technology to make sure everything is appropriate and proper. He goes beyond the call of duty. The cost is competitive.
Description of Work: He repaired some outdoor lamps attached to the house. It had been upgraded. They also installed an interior fan.

Wow! What a great find. Andrew Bush of BUSH ELECTRIC COMPANY and his 2 helpers arrived on time and were prepared to complete the job immediately. No need to go out and purchase supplies. Together we went over the details of the work. He listened intently on exactly where I wanted the outlets positioned. He arrived in a clearly marked work van. He and his helpers appearance were professional and all were very clean and polite. Each member of Andrew's crew was well versed in their responsibilities and very capable to handle them. This made for an extremely efficient project which was completed within an hour. During the installation Andrew pointed out a failing wall light switch. Before replacing the switch he first let me hear the difference between the faulty switch (popping sound) and a good one and after he removed the bad switch he had me smell the burnt wires inside the faulty switch. I was so impressed by his thouroughness. I hate to think of this fire hazard if he had not alerted me to the problem. At the completion of the installation his designated helper cleaned up the work area. I would not hesitate to use Bush Electric again and I certainly recommend him to anyone requiring electrical work. Now this is how a company should operate!
Description of Work: added two new electrical outlets on wall.

I was very happy with the work done by Bush Electric. I was able to schedule my service call on the date I needed and the work was done very professionally. They made a point to clean up behind themselves and I was so impressed with their work, I requested a quote to have them replace light fixtures in both of my full baths, my dining room light and to put up some lights outside. I look forward to having them do more work for me.
Description of Work: I had a light fixture replaced over my kitchen sink and a new outlet installed in the attic for an attic fan.

It went very well. He was very prompt, answering my message within about 2 hours of me sending it. He was able to come out two days later for a quote, then two days after that completed the work. Always on time, the work was done quickly and to a very high standard. I am very pleased and will hire him again in the future, and recommend him to Angie's List.

Andrew and John did their usual fantastic work on this project. We couldn't be happier with the results. They did the installation taking care to exceed the "standard" in all aspects of the job. Excellent attention to detail and completely professional -- we're already making plans for our next project and will be calling Bush's Electric to complete the electrical work.

The first thing I ran into was, I had gotten a floodlight I wanted to put in the back yard. I've had it for sometime and just never put it in. I said, "Well, I'm going to have them come over and I'm going to have them do this." They told me that they couldn't put the light in because it wasn't to code or whatever. It was an older incandescent floodlight and they said, "Oh, we can't install that." So, that was how it started. Then, I had a couple of switches that were bad after they installed them. I know that's not their fault. I don't know why they went bad so quickly. So, I've got to go back to Lowe's and get those replaced. I've got a little 14-month-old baby in the house and babies crawl around. When they were snipping the wires to clean the ends and put them in, they left stuff on the floor, little pieces of wiring on the floor. That concerned me quite a bit. They were courteous. They were here on time. They were professional when they were doing the work. But there were some things that would lead me to believe that the next time I'm going to use somebody, I'm going to try somebody else to see if they're any better. I didn't pay anything extra. I had told them wherever you have a box with multiple devices in it, it's always a good idea to wrap the individual switches with electrical tape so that, if by any chance they happen to touch each other while they're in the box, you don't get any arcing or sparking. I think I asked them to do that and I don't think they did.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal from them. It was $99 for four hours of electrical labor.

That was quite some time ago, over a year ago. They were satisfactory. It was in the Spring, about 6 months ago. It was very acceptable, not exceptional, it was good. I will use them again. They could have just explained more effectively what they were doing. What I like about this company is they fix the job. They fix the problem.
