It went really well. Absolute Electric fit us in their schedule for a next-day appointment and the repairman arrived on time. He was knowledgable and asked good questions which helped him diagnose the problem, then made the necessary repairs, restoring electricity to our main level. The cost was quite reasonable plus Absolute honored their Angie's List coupon for 10% off on labor. I will definitely call Absolute Electric the next time we need an electrician.
Description of Work: Diagnosed electrical issue knocking out power to half of our main level and front deck. Isolated the problem wire and restored power to our main level.

I never give reviews, until today. I've made an exception for Absolute Electric. They've come to our home three times in the last two years to perform various installations and repairs. Their work is high quality at a very good price, with almost no waiting on my side. I'm looking around the home now for other work that they can do.

Absolute Electric did a great job! They responded to my request for service promptly and the technician, Juan, came exactly in the scheduled time frame. He did a quick and precise evaluation of what my light needed and explained several options to fix it. I appreciated that he wanted to give me a good fixture yet not overdo the changes to something I'm looking to have remodeled in another year or so. The work was done rapidly and Juan was very careful throughout. Overall, I'm happy with the service and would hire Absolute Electric again for a future fix.

This is the 4th time I've used Absolute Electric over the past few years for various jobs around two different houses, and I continue to be impressed by their professionalism and quality of work. Every interaction I had, from scheduling to estimating to completion of work and even the customer satisfaction follow-up was positive. This particular job was difficult mainly because there was no attic access to the master bedroom ceiling where wiring needed to be run for a ceiling fan, and I wanted to minimize drywall cutouts for fishing wires. The guys that did this job were fantastic. Shoutout to Will and Miles for being on time, wearing floor protectors over their shoes, and cleaning up after themselves when they were finished. They did an awesome job and exceeded my expectations.

I've had Absolute Electric to my home several times for jobs that I needed to have done. Will is great to work with. For my first project he installed an attic fan and on a second trip, he installed a whole house surge protector and weather proof outlets on the exterior of my home. He's very easy to work with, he cleans up behind his work and he consulted me on each project along to way to ensure that I was happy. I have a few more projects for Absolute and look forward to working with them again very soon.

Great! Will, the electrician, was terrific. He scoped out the job, asked questions and answered mine and worked steadily. He was very professional and personable. I will contact Absolute in the spring for other work.

I was able to set up an appointment on relatively short notice while other companies were insisting on scheduling out to January. The technician, Will, showed up on time, and was very efficient and friendly. He was happy to make use of the spare ballast we could provide, and completed the work very quickly. The price was very reasonable for the work done, and we'll be using them again in the future for our electrician needs.

Great. Their work was done quickly, they went above and beyond working around my special needs (the work was being done over servers so dust was a concern), and everything worked first time.
Description of Work: I've used them many times for different work. The most recent time was for a number of high current 240v outlets for my servers from my UPS panel.

This company is very easy and pleasant to work with. They will call a day ahead to confirm schedule, then the electrician calls about 45 minutes before showing up to let customers know they are on the way.The electrician assigned to my job, Will, was extremely courteous, completed the job in a timely manner and left the place spotless. Absolute Electric will even follow up with customers the next day to make sure their clients are 100% satisfied

It went great! We got an estimate quickly and we were able to get the work done in a timely manner. Will, the electrician was professional, he did an amazing job, he cleaned up after the job, and he was so polite. We have had a problem since we moved in here with our microwave oven blowing the circuit when we would turn on another appliance like the toaster. The new circuit works great and no blowing the breaker! I would wholeheartedly recommend Absolute Electric. Thank you very much.

Great. And the one time things weren't executed as we had hoped, Absolute Electric made it right by reducing the cost and bringing in a painter to make things look right again. They stand by their work and meeting customer satisfaction -- that's important.
Description of Work: Have been using Absolute Electric for a couple of years now, both at our condo before and now at our home. Great family owned and family run company. Always making sure to do work by code and doing the job right. Not the cheapest by any means, but you're going to get good work done. Ask for Rob to do your job.

Outstanding is the only word I can use to describe all aspects of the work that Dan and Bryan did at my house today. They replaced two attic fans that had failed after 13 years. I initially scheduled the appointment with Mike about 10 days ago. Mike was very helpful and explained the costs that would be incurred, including a surcharge because of the very steep pitch on my roof (it is a 40 degree pitch). Dan called about 35 minutes prior to arrival. Both Dan and Bryan are very professional and courteous. They wasted no time getting to the task at hand. While Dan climbed up on the roof to remove the old fans and secure the new ones, Bryan worked from inside the attic ensuring that all electrical connections were properly done. Once they finished, Dan and Bryan accompanied me up into the attic so that I could see and hear that the fans were operating. Once that was verified, Bryan set the thermostats to ensure that they would come on once the temperature in the attic reaches 90 degrees. They cleaned the worksite and took the old fans with them. Once gone, it is as if no one had ever been here - except that the attic is much cooler! My heartfelt thanks. I look forward to doing business with Absolute Electric again. Like I said - outstanding!
