PK Electric

They did a good job. They did quality work and cleaned up after themselves. One of the guys broke a light fixture and went and purchased a replacement himself.

PK Electric did a good job. I called PK Electric on a Thursday, before Super Bowl Sunday. They came out the next day! I thought that was great! I called 3 other places, and they weren't able to come that quickly.

When they first arrived to fix the lighting in the bathroom, I asked them to look at the circuit breaker box and tell me what needed doing. They suggested I was probably not up to code, and they pointed out some bare wires on the roof that might at some point cause an explosion. They fixed that right away. They tole me to call and get the estimator out ther, so I did. They ended up spending more time with us than they had expected. They stayed late at night so we wouldn't be without power, and came the next day as well. They stayed with their original estimate. I was impressed!

They brought an apprentice that did a few things for me for free. I thought there rate was really fair. Everytime I have had them come out they have had an appentice with them.

Very smoothly. They were prompt in scheduling a visit, the guy showed up on time with the necessary parts and got the generator up and running.

Overall the experience was solid and positive and the communication throughout was extremely comprehensive. This was a relatively small job during the holiday season- thus they changed out crews a couple times- but always called the day or more prior to coordinate when they would be at the house and what they would do. Because of the holidays, and also due to some problems inherent in the old wiring, the job took a bit longer than normal but they kept to their bid price and did as much troubleshooting as required to deliver a completed service. I've had one other whole-house re-wire experience before, and PK Electric did a far better job than the company from my previous experience. Rewires however present some challenges: depending on how extensive (total rewire vs. partial rewire of knob and tube, etc.) there will be additional carpentry and plaster repair work to be done that is not included in a rewire situation. In my case I had a carpentry contractor on-site the entire time so this was addressed quickly. Also, like many jobs involving renovation or remodeling, the scope of work frequently changes as you become more familiar with the issues at hand. During the course of their work, I found additional areas of the house that needed attention, so PK's project leader simply kept to the original scope of work (including permit inspections, etc.) and then sent another crew out later to do the additional work, a garage rewire that involved exterior trenching. They were able to trench about 30-40 feet and do the entire garage rewire in about 8 hours with a crew of three, and the final product was very nice. In summary, I would definitely use them again; I didn't have a tight time line nor did I expect to see exactly the same crews on my job every day, so if you are flexible in those areas, I would highly recommend PK Electric for future work. The communication flow between their project leader and me was excellent, and they kept the costs completely within the parameters outlined in their bid.

It all went great. He got to work right away. It was freezing out and I know he was extremely cold. But he worked non stop and got the generator installed. He explained how the system worked and we all got to attend the game as planned. The winds never got to the levels they had predicted, and we haven't used our generator, but we are prepared. I highly recommend PK Electric.

When plugging in a vacuum, the socket shorted out. I called PK and they sent Mike out in the next hour, who replaced it, and checked the wiring around it to make sure there was no fire hazard. He even checked a porch fixture when asked at the last minute and had suggestions that we could do ourselves. I had to do this over the phone, and the service was prompt and courteous.

The cost of the heater that the technician was quoting was twice as much as what the manufacture was selling the unit online. I ended up using another company.

We decided to replace our circuit panel because we were tired of tripping circuits. Now, I'm no electrician, but I was convinced after talking with PK Electric that replacing the panel would increase our capacity. It was only after the work was performed that I was told that the new panel would not increase capacity at all. Extensive re-wiring needed to be done to achieve that but PK would be happy to do that work for a substantial additional fee. Two new circuits had been added to our den for the computers, but that was it. So, in our viewpoint, we paid over a thousand dollars each for two new outlets. In addition: The new panel box is huge. When I complained about this, I was told this was the standard size. A smaller size is available, but I was not informed about that option until after the installation. I was told the smaller box could be swapped out for the large one, but PK would in no way repair the gaping hole that would leave in the wall. Which leads to item three: The wall was butchered. A huge section of wallboard was cut out in three pieces to remove the old panel and install the new one, two studs over. The three chopped up pieces were then nailed back onto the wall. The old panel box was left without a cover leaving all the wires inside exposed. This in a house that has a child in it. The contractor left a total mess behind. Our walls have blown-in insulation and a great deal of it fell out of the wall when the pieces of wallboard were removed. PK picked up the larger pieces of insulation by hand but did not vacuum the work site at all. There was insulation dust all over the room. When the city electrical inspector examined the job, it was rejected. The work done by PK Electric did not meet code. PK had to come back to correct their work and then we had to make a second appointment with the city inspector. PK Electric was extremely unresponsive during the entire course of the job. It always took repeated calls to them to get any response or call back. We were promised immediate correction of the exposed wires in the old panel box and waited over a week before anyone showed up. When the inspector rejected their work we again waited over a week to have the work corrected. Over all, I found PK Electric to be incredibly unprofessional and I would never use them again.

Scott arrived on schedule on the 19th of November and gave us an estimate for the same services as listed above. He was very thorough and was willing to answer all of our questions. We live in a 1950s ranch style home and the wiring in most of it does not have a ground wire so that is why we had a GFCI installed. I had thought I could just by a box of receptacle and install them myself but I ended up returning them because I was not sure what to do once I took of the covers and exposed the innards. We received an estimate that very day and set up an appointment for the work to be done. On the 25th the electricians arrived on time and set up to do the work. The track lighting they installed was a new type that we purchased separately and it did not require a transformer the reason we purchased them. They got right to work and did a beautiful job. I loved how organized they were, they laid out the fixture first and then proceed with the installation. It required a little bit of detective work to find out why the 1 outlet did not work. But they went up in the crawl space and found out what the problem was and fixed it. It was something to do with a old garage door opener that is no longer there. They finished up and cleaned up everything and were out the door on time and on budget. Thanks to you all! And a happy holiday!

The work went extremely well. The electricians were on time and worked diligently on all the items in the punch list of work. The price was somewhat in the middle of all the quotes we received, but the quality of the work was top notch. The guys on site explained everything they were doing and were very friendly throughout. I would definitely recommend them and would hire them again for work.

The craftsman was knowledgeable, courteous and punctual. They didn't exceed their estimate. We would absolutely hire them again.

It took them many, many tries to get this job done. They sent out incompetent people who didn't know what to do. They came at the wrong time and didn't bring enough people. I would not recommend them to anyone and we would never work with them again.

We were satisfied with their service and work. We would hire them again.

The work they did was satisfactory. We haven't had any problems with our chandelier since. We would hire them again.

There were two employees here, one was obviously getting oriented and then later on told me it was his first time on the job. The other one had experience. After they left I discovered the lamp still wasn't working. In my bedroom where they had worked on outlets, I had a clock radio on my night table and that wasn't working properly. This is a family run business and I called them and told them about the clock radio. They called me back and said he didn't drop it, but he did come back out. It was very tense while he was here and he was here for awhile. After they left the clock radio still didn't work. I called them and told them to just forget about this, I didn't feel up to it and so I just gave the radio away. The way she handled this situation was terrible. They are quite expensive and I would never use them again.

They did a fantastic job. I had a motion sensor light that was stuck in the on position. They came out and said they couldn't fix it because it was too old. I went and purchased the light and the tech came and installed it. They only charged me for one service call.

The price was somewhere around $4000. They came in exactly at the bid, and the price was competitive. They were very helpful. I would use them again in the future and would recommend them to others.

Great company. Very easy to work with, schedule etc. The first time they came out several months ago, they fixed a problem easily and said "no charge". Great people, easy to have in your home. Definitely recommend and will use again.

They showed up on time and were very easy to work with. They were very professional and personable as well. I am thinking of using them barring the estimate.

Andy came and gave us a proposal for work to be done. It was reasonable to us. They started work as stated. They were very professional and the work was very good. Our house was built in the 50's, so it was a challenge. The kitchen outlets were all wired together, so the coffee pot and microwave could not be used at the same time. The electric panel to the house was obsolete and you could not get the circuit breaker anymore. In two days, they had everything done and we had to wait two weeks for the generator to arrive. In one day, that was hooked up. We will no longer have to wait for the power to come back on in a storm. I love it and these wonderful guys at PK Electric.

I had installed a motion detector light myself several years ago, but it never really did the job-poor positioning, I guess. PK installed a newer, better piece of equipment in a better location and it has been marvelous.

We were satisfied with the final product (2 new outlets) but we felt that we were over charged for the labor. They agreed to take an hour of labor off of the bill after we complained.

They were punctual, professional and fair on pricing.
