Excellent! Bush was on time along with his assistant. They were courteous and called us to let us know they were running late and gave us a time to expect them, and they arrived right on the dot. They came in and went straight to work and completed it all in 30 minutes. I also thought that it was great that while they fixed the outlets, they actually taught me something too. Professional and friendly.

He knows what the deal offers on Angie's List, but there are 2 men on the truck and the deal is for 2 hours of labor. Which would mean that it's 2 men for 1 hour of work, basically. I needed 2 hours worth of work done, so there would be a lot of extra charges to get what I need done.

They came on time. They informed me right away that there were 2 of them and that the 95 $ prepay was covering one hour. They stayed an extra hour and charged $120 plus material.It was more expensive than I expected but they did a good job and I feel it was worth it.

Fairly well. We have quite a bit of patching to do where wires were looked for in the ceiling near the electrical box. Apparently the stove plugin is upside down from what is now standard.

We have used mr bush in past and have been very satisfied with his work. This is the third time I called mr bush to do a job. I called mr bush and asked him to put in an electrical outlet in my garage. Mr Bush has been to the house before..he is very honest..so Mr Bush left himself in when we are not home. I also asked mr bush to install the garage door opener also. We partially installed the opener, but needed a new outlet, so couldn't finish. Mr Bush did an excellent job installing the outlet, but didn't install the opener as agreed.
Description of Work: Added electric outlet to garage door opener.

I want to say....I put in order and Mr. Bush called me right away and also came right away. I so appreciate this because we were in town and needed him soon. Mr. Bush is very professional and realized the problem right away. Mr Bush did work for us before...we were very satisfied too. Mr Bush was trustworthy....we left him in the house without us being there. We would recommend him again.

Bush Electric showed up 10 minutes before start of agreed time.They repaired the upstairs bathroom lighting and checked and replaced 10 receptacles on my second floor,stating that even though the receptacles were still working,they weren't as safe as the new ones installed.Which I like because of visits from grandkids.They respected the household furnishings and cleaned all messes they made.I will use them again,when needed

That service turned out fine. I had him relocate the condenser. We had to bring the power to a different part of the homes. It took him a total of about 6 hours. The work was very well done and I did not have any issues.

Both Mr. Bush and his assistant showed up promptly on time and immediately got ready to install our ceiling fans. Our ceilings are 10 feet tall and we wanted our 2 ceiling fans right in the center of our rooms. They covered all of our personal items with material so nothing would get dirty. There were no previous fixtures so they had to run electric from the floor outlet to the center of the ceiling. They worked diligently and for the entire 4 hours we hired them. They finished running power and mounting both fans within the 4 hours. Mr. Bush ensured both fans ran correctly and neither remote powered the other fan. He mentioned "I do a job the right way" taking extra care to explain how to change the direction of the fan and how the remotes work. He even took the time to give us a free quote for installing an outdoor light for our balcony. I highly recommend Bush's Electric Company for any electrical need!

I saw a coupon for $99 for two hours of electric labor (with one tech, or one hour for two techs) and jumped on it, needing ceiling fixtures for my recently purchased home. I purchased the coupon around 8 pm on a weeknight and received an answer with an appt. time around 930 pm that same night. I was shocked to see the message the next morning and how quickly they set the appointment up. The appointment was for 12pm on Sep 8th and I received a phone call around 1130 am letting me know they would be there at about 1230. The showed up within a few minutes of that, introduced themselves and explained the coupon to make sure there was no confusion... After the first hour it is $125 an hour plus parts. I understood and they got right to work. They headed upstairs and installed both fixtures in about an hour and a half leaving both rooms spotless. Downstairs took about an hour and Mr. Bush only needed to make one guide hole in the ceiling and patched it up quite nicely. The living room was spotless and the job complete. Totalled an hour and a half extra for labor and $80 for the parts, (six switches, romex wiring, three ceiling boxes, patchwork and plate covers) They were very nice, very professional, and I will definitely use them again for electrical jobs, as well as recommend them. Thanks Guys!
Description of Work: Installed 3 fixtures ceiling fan ready. Two upstairs in bedrooms and one on first floor in formal living room. Upgraded switches so that each room has three switches to control wall light, fan light and fan.

They arrived on time and installed 2 of 3 light fixtures. They could not install the third because it did not fit the space. They would have done more work but I purchased the wrong products, so Mr. Bush agreed to come back to finish the job because I only used about half of the time I pre-purchased of a special $99 for two hours of electrical service. He and his partner are very professional.

Took down shorted wires from light fixture and put up a temporary fixture. Also fixed three none working ceiling fans, unfortunately we were not able to get the remotes for the fans to work again. But the fans work, and my bathroom light no longer trips the circuit breaker.

Andrew and Wayne were friendly and professional, and made quick work of adding programmable timer switches for our exterior lights outside the garage and front door. I would have done it myself, but when the wires on the new switches didn't match the wires left by the old switches, I knew I had better call a professional rather than risk it, and this Angie's List deal was too good to pass up, especially given Bush Electric's good reviews here. I observed Andrew, the owner, and he was very careful and efficient, and was patient in answering all of my questions. He and Wayne were done in 15 minutes. I would hire Bush Electric again without hesitation. UPDATE: About a week after I wrote this review, the outlets on the foyer circuit failed. It turned out that a wire had slipped out of one of the wire nut connections they made in the switch box. This is the only reason I amended my rating to "B" for quality. That said, they were professional and very responsive, and came out quickly to fix it. I would still gladly hire them again.
Description of Work: Replaced a light switch in the garage with a programmable timer switch, and replaced an older timer switch in the foyer with a programmable timer switch. The foyer circuit subsequently failed due to a break in the connection made by the workers, but they were responsive and came out quickly to resolve the problem.

Bush's Electrical Company was excellent to work with. Mr. Bush and 1 other electrician arrived on time, but unfortunately had to wait for us as we were coming in from out of town and were about 15 min late. They introduced themselves and begin the inspection of electrical issues with our house even checking out the electrical panel box. They noted that there were not enough outlets in the kitchen (code) and the light over the sink did not cut off because the electrician wired it and another incorrectly. Mr. Bush then explained the Big Deal, yet with the amount of work it would be more hours than we purchased. We knew that would be the case and agreed, as their hourly rate was quite competitive. They immediately went to work installing new outlets and repairing the ones that were incorrectly installed. This included drilling through studs that were already drywalled and plastered. They completed the work in about 3 or 4 hours and cleaned and removed all their debris. They were fast, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Overall, a very good experience.
Description of Work: Purchased the $99/1 hr Big Deal, but needed quite a bit of electrical work.The provider performed an electrical inspection of house to ensure switches and outlets were properly installed in a recent renovation. They then installed 4 new outlets, repaired wiring in overhead light that was not working, installed over/under switch and GFI in kitchen and moved dryer outlet.
