Description of Work: Fixed a incorrectly wired lights on our brick column posts in our driveway. They are controlled by a nigh/day sensor, and they kept burning out the light bulbs. Mark identified the problem as being incorrectly wired properly and corrected the problem. The lights work perfectly now. I have used Old Time since we moved in and they have done perfect jobs every time! Past projects include installing cat 5 cable throughout the house and installing a utility box to coordinate the wires and cable which allows me to send the internet throughout the house. They are the best!

Description of Work: The representative arrived on time to do an inspection and submit a bid. He was pleasant and informative. However, the bid was nearly a week coming, and was in my opinion outrageously high. Very, very outrageously. I grew up in a construction family and have some idea of what the proposed work would actually involve. Perhaps costs really have skyrocketed that astoundingly since last I hired an electrician for this sort of work (adding a few wall outlets, replacing a bath fan/light, upgrading one outlet to 220). That was roughly five years ago, and in the general area of our new home, by a licensed and well reviewed electrician who unfortunately has since relocated his business. But if prices have soared that dramatically, few can now afford them.

Response from Old Time Electric Inc
I checked our files and we have no record of doing this quote for a [member name removed]. Was there a different last name? The address doesn't even ring a bell for doing a quote in January. Would she be able to fax or mail me a copy of the quote?

OTE was prompt and responsive from first contact with Debbie, to the bid from Mark, to the actual installation. Everyone we met with was friendly, professional and so responsive. The fans are beautiful and add a whole new level of comfort in our home. They look like they came with the home. We will absolutely do business with OTE the next time the need arises.
Description of Work: Old Time Electric installed two modern ceiling fans onto our high sloped ceilings. Neither fan was installed into existing outlets, so a total wiring was required. A control mount was installed for one of the fans. OTE put both fans together, programmed remotes, and meticulously cleaned up after themselves.

The experience went very well. I would definitely use them again. They were very tidy, they did a good job of cleaning up. I wanted certain specific things done, and initially I changed my mind, and made changes on them. In the end, it didn't make a difference to them, they just reduced the price, because I had some lights installed in the basement. It took them just one day to do the job. They were very good. I got bids, and their prices were comparable. I just liked them, they were personable.

Mark and Debby were absolutely wonderful! I was looking to have a car charger installed in my garage. I had one bid for installation and the charger for $1500. I wanted to buy the Bosch charger online from Amazon and just have it installed but the electrician Bosch recommended in my area never got back to me. So I emailed Old Time to see if I could use an Angie's List Big deal (electrician for a day) and what the additional costs would be to install the car charger. Debby replied right away and we scheduled Mark to come out and give me a bid. He arrived right on time. It turned out I didn't have a full day's worth of work so the Big Deal wasn't needed but his bid of about $500 for labor, parts and permit was significantly less than the other bid - the charger itself is about $600. I scheduled to have the work done and again Mark was right on time. Everything went really smooth and didn't take as long as he had estimated, so he updated the invoice to adjust for less labor time. Total cost was under $350, to do all three items, much less than the $900 that the other electrician had bid for just installing the car charger! Inspection also went off without a hitch, with Debby scheduling it for me. The inspector had great things to say about Mark as well. I would definitely use again and recommend to my friends and family!
Description of Work: Installed an electric car charging station (that I provided - purchased through Amazon), installed an outlet and replaced a photocell outside.

What a wonderful experience !! I originally contacted Old Time Electric by searching on Angie's List for an electrical contractor near my home location in April. When I contacted Mark & Debby Kroll, they were extremely pleasant. Mark came out right away from Lakewood to my home at the end of the Key Peninsula to look at what I needed and give me an estimate. He provided a detailed estimate via e-mail right away. I was happy with the estimated price so I signed the estimate with a minor change to the address and e-mailed it back to them. Since I had to pour a concrete foundation, mount the light post, and dig trenches for the wiring, I needed some time before Mark and his crew could start the work. We coordinated by e-mail and phone through his wife Debby and scheduled the installation for August 2nd. Prior to pouring the concrete foundation for the light, I coordinated with Mark as to the size of electrical conduit that he would use to run the underground power to the light post so that I could concrete the conduit through the foundation into the ditch for the light. It worked perfectly. Mark, his son Jason, and the apprentice arrived earlier than scheduled on Friday, August 2nd. They did an OUTSTANDING job!!! Each of them were extremely pleasant to deal with and worked continuously and smartly (very knowledgeable). They installed approximately 400 feet of underground conduit, installed mounting posts for the RV panel and outlets, plus the garden post and canopy lift area post for the 110V outlet, tied into the main house power panel, and installed service boxes with electrical breakers where needed. I was very impressed when they installed all of the wiring through the conduit using a "mouse" pulled through using a shop vacuum. They finished the whole job in approximately five hours, which is much faster than I thought that it would take considering the amount of work involved. I was very impressed with the timeliness, professionalism, and workmanship quality of Mark and his crew. They did an outstanding job and were extremely easy to work with. Mark provided the electrical permit and Debby coordinated for the final electrical inspection by Pierce County as soon as the work was done. I am a very happy customer and I would use Old Time Electric again if I need electrical work done!!
Description of Work: Mark, his son Jason, and apprentice Collin installed several services at my home location. They ran underground power to an LED light and a separate garden post 110V outlet at the Cul-de-sac entrance, installed a RV 50 amp service panel and box including an additional 110V standard outdoor outlet by the RV parking area, ran underground conduit system to the back of the property and installed a post with 110V outdoor outlet for my pickup canopy lift, ran underground conduit system across the back of my property to my outdoor storage shed and installed 110V plug in outlet, etc.

It went very well and as expected. They came out during August and gave us an estimate. After we agreed on the pricing we set a date and they arrived at 8:30am that morning and stayed until the job was done. They are very punctual, friendly and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: I have used Old Time Electric a couple times the past, so when I needed some work on a different house I called them. They installed 11 new canned lights in the kitchen and living room, and 2 new ceiling fans in the bedrooms. They also switched out all the other old-style canned lights in the living room and bedrooms and replaced them with new sleeves and rims in white. It took a couple visits because one of the sets of lights were an odd size and they had to reorder them. They replaced the pantry and laundry room lights with new and very bright LED lights. They are always punctual and their pricing is worth every penny as they do stand behind their work. They are very careful about putting down tarps and blankets to catch any sawdust, etc. They are also very careful with the furniture and cover it as needed. I have recommended them in the past to family and friends, and will continue to do so.

Contacted Mr. Knoll after having seen Old Time Electrical doing extensive work on a neighbors house. Later took a look at Angies List reviews and was pleased with ratings. Called to schedule an appraisal and was overall very happy with the responsiveness and professionalism from scheduling to completion of work. City Inspector gave high praise. Will be using again, already scheduled.

This is about the 5th time I have used them and they do not try to sell you on something that is not necessary. The price and work have always been excellent. They always provide a detailed estimate to work from and have never deviated from the estimate. I would not use any other electrician because of the superior service I receive from them. When I have an issue that needs quick response they have always been there for me.
Description of Work: Had 2 bad breakers replaced on main panel and I also had them replace about 8 3way switches in the house. He also inspected the panel to see if there were any existing issues and there were not.

Picking a company blindly from the web is always a chancy business. We were impressed with Marc's professionalism when they came out to bid the job. We are now even more impressed. The house is completely updated. They found many many problems but came in right at their bid. The only way you'd know they were here is 3 prong plugs were old wiring or no plug existed. 3 prongs that actually work. The main box has the most careful neat wiring I have ever seen. We were in the middle of unpacking from the move and there was no mess no fuss no upset no tearing into walls. Both Mark and his son Jason were more like friends than contractors. We are going to use them again for some stuff i did not think of in the 1st bid. We cannot possibly recommend them high enough
