Description of Work: Replaced and rewired breaker panel box. Guys showed up on time. Worked all day to finish in one day. Went around and verified all breakers and what they went too and labeled the panel. And the quote was given in advance over the phone. No hidden fees!!! Loved them and will use them again in the future.

Description of Work: I had a electrical receptacle burn through. They responded the same day and quickly diagnosed the problem and offered a Permanent solution of putting the major appliances on separate circuits. We agreed and they fixed the refrigerator circuit temporarily and scheduled an appointment for that Friday. Early Friday Mr. Cole had two teams at my house and devoted the whole day to rewiring my house. we even had them add two celling fans. I would call them again for work and would highly recommend them to anyone who asks.

Description of Work: I called with an urgent matter, a smoking outlet in my bathroom. Mr. Cole sent a team out within a few hours. They repaired the outlet and explained to me what had happened. They also fixed a light in my hallway that had not worked for a couple of years. They were knowledgable and I plan on calling them back for some more work.

Description of Work: They replaced our out dated kitchen lighting (fluorescent bulbs) with "can" ceiling and under cabinet lighting. They were on time, quick, and professional. There was one small bit of damage to our home, of which Mr. Cole is taking care of to our satisfaction. This is a great company. We have used them in the past to replace our electric panel and have recommended them to neighbors who have used them as well.

Description of Work: Checked out a receptacle in the kitchen that had been overloaded by plugging 1 toasters into it. Receptacle was OK, but circuit breaker had to be replaced. Made a suggestion about the location of the whole house surge protector, and relocated it to the outside of the main electric panel. The technician was here when promised, and was very professional and personable. I have used Cole Electric in the past, and will definitely use them again.

Description of Work: They upgraded my electrical panel. They installed an outlet so that I could plug my portable generator into the new panel. They showed up on time and worked until the job was done. | When I requested a quote for the job, the owner called me promptly and suggested a better way of doing the job. I took his suggestion and is very pleased with the outcome. I will use them for any electrical work that I need in the future. They knew what they were doing!

Response from Cole Electric Inc
I wish you could have shared your story with your fellow members . We were called about replacing a panel box after another ( & Son ) company came out to make an emergency repair . Since our employees are NOT ON COMMISSION we were much more affordable. Seems as though that is becoming more prevalent in the service industry. I feel that mentality can lead to overcharging . Our employees are paid well based on their merit not on there sales. We completed the project at the price quoted far below the other estimate . It was our pleasure to take care of your issues . Thank you for your response.

Description of Work: I called on a sunday evening, and he said he'd be available the next morning. That morning he was there and quickly fixed my 220volt issue and gave me information about how to improve my current breaker box, along with the potential risks of the one I have. Very knowledgeable, nice and helpful. I will be using this company again for any electric issues or upgrades.
