Despite a busy day, they squeezed in time for a same-day visit. Emergency rates were reasonable, and they were kind enough to answer some other electrical questions I had unrelated to the call. They were very knowledgeable and explained things in clear terms that I could understand. I'll definitely be contacting them again for future electrical work.
Description of Work: We needed to determine whether wires attached to a roof vent were live and what purpose they served so a reroofing project could continue.

Each job was completed in a timely, professional manner. I would/will definitely hire this company for any necessary electrical work.
Description of Work: I've used Absolute Electric on three occasions, at 2 different addresses, I recently moved. My first electrical experience was more of an emergency. I called this company around 5:00 p.m. and owner Larry took the time to stop by and take care of my electrical issue. The 2nd time, Larry and Spencer took care of my outdoor (2) electrical outlets. I lost all electrical access to run my large outdoor waterfeature and another outlet to run my leaf blower, hedge trimmer. An appointment date/time was arranged and they showed up on-time, went right to work, were professional in all ways! Due to a recent move, I wanted to install a Ring doorbell and Nest thermostate, again, appointment time was met and work accomplished professionally. I will hire Absolute again as I want to change out and outdoor recessed light to a hanging light. They don't know this yet as I need to purchase an outdoor light fixture before I call to set up an appointment. Guess company will know about this future project if they read their reviews! :>)

Larry is an execellent member of a team. He helped me make good choices. I have no doubts about the quality of work he performed. This was a big project on a 1940's house. Larry is the intelligent, fair, honorable, and efficient man you will remember long after the project is completed.
Description of Work: Bathroom remodel, kitchen remodel, panel expansion.

Larry was so great to work with, he did a wonderful job, was quick, efficient, even showed me where we could save money on updating our old two prong outlets with three prong grounded outlets. He was very friendly and easy to work with, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good electrician that they can trust to do the job right and be forthcoming about the price.
Description of Work: Change out two prong outlets for three prong outlets, Fix light fixture in a bedroom and change out the front porch light.

Larry is very personable and a very knowledgeable electrician. He is not the cheapest, but he’s the best and he's worth every penny. Larry figures things out very quickly.
Description of Work: I have used Absolute Electric Inc. He rewired my entire house and brought it up to code. He also rewired my microwave and put it on its own circuit and put in some new lighting for me.

Description of Work: Absolute changed my GFF outlet.Having hired them before the owner replaced 3 floodlights and sprayed my high protico with bug spray as he did in the past. He worked on my outdoor fountain electrical problem as it hasn"t functioned correctly for years. The owner is precise, informative , lets you ask as many questions without becoming impatient.

I wish I had found/hired Larry a long time ago! The ceiling fan he replaced wasn't even that old. It turns out the previous installer didn't even use the right (something) box. Rather than put the new fan up with old, inappropriate fittings, Larry took the extra time to do the job correctly. He also generously shared what was right and what was wrong and what the risks were if we chose not to replace that box thingy. The thing that really impressed me though was that he immediately spotted our outdated fire alarms. We knew they were old, in fact we were having a lot of false alarms and had even disabled one of them! We thought replacing them would be an ordeal but it was amazing how fast and cost effectively Larry had us "safe" again! I wish Larry could do all of our other work around the house since our bestest handyman moved away to Seattle. Guys with this kind of pride in workmanship and ethics are very hard to find. Thanks Larry!

Larry was very nice. Gave us an estimate for rewiring some circuits and told us that It could take up to 2 days. He was done in 4.5 hours. We were suspicious of the price and then called 3 other electricians and they were in shock at what we were being charged. They would have only charged us a quarter of that. We had been Hosed. We did try to talk to Larry about how we felt, but he just gave us excuses about the cost of running a business. Yadda Yadda. We paid the bill in whole but will never return to this company or recommend it to anyone. We understand that we should have gotten the estimates before but Larry was nice. We should feel good about a company and their services and integrity. This company makes us feel bad.

Larry saw what needed to be done, problem solved when his original plan was found to not to be feasible due to another appliance that depended on the original 220 (discovered the problem before any substantial work had been done). Completed the work satisfactorily. He is very professional, and neat (wears booties in the house, puts a cover down on his work area to keep things clean, vacuums up his area after he's done), friendly, informative. I'm not sure how his fees are in comparison with anyone else, but he gives very good service. This is the second job I've had him do (the last job was 2 years ago and I was very impressed at that time, so called him back). A friend who had used him recommended him to me, and now I recommend him to my friends. I will certainly use him again the next time I have an electrical need.
Description of Work: We are changing from electric to gas cooktop so had to change from 220 to 110 outlet.

I set up an appointment with Absolute Electric and Larry came out. He arrived punctually and was very friendly and professional. He put on foot booties and spread a tarp at his work area to keep the carpet clean. He explained all the repairs needed and the price before he started. The needed repairs turned out to be more extensive than originally thought, but he stayed until the job was done, and gave me a significant price reduction. I have further repairs that will have to be done in the future, and I plan to ask for Larry to complete them.
Description of Work: I was having problems with the electrical wiring in my house. I could smell a hot melting plastic smell in the living room and the lights in the kitchen and dining room would occasionally flicker. Also, one of the ceiling lights in the kitchen was not working. Larry replaced the balasts and florescent tubes in the ceiling light. He determined the hot electrical smell was coming from the outlets which were the original ones put in when the house was build in 1972. He checked all the outlets in the house and garage and replaced the ones that were worn out. He also checked the breaker panel in the garage and replaced one of the breakers. He explained the flickering was due to overload on the circuits and outlined a couple ways to reduce the load.

The technician was prompt, very friendly and professional. I explained what we wanted (probably not entirely clearly as electrical systems are not in my realm of understanding). The technician then went through the entire house and presented me with a list of upgrades he felt we may need, that would have easily cost over 10,000. I elected to stick to the original plan, but even that seemed overly expensive. Although I admittedly don't know the going rate for these services. That said, he did a great job, but the whole thing felt a little salesy.
Description of Work: Three electrical outlets replaced with GFCI outlets also had thermostats replaced.

Called on a Thursday around noon when power was lost to a portion of the house. They took our name, phone number and address and said a technician would call shortly to arrange a time to come by. No one ever called back or came by. They did, however, send a postcard offering us $25.00 off on our next service.

SORRY WE WERE NOT ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SITUATION WHEN YOU CALLED. OUR OFFICE WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR COMPANY TRAINING AND OUR CALL TAKER SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT WE WERE NOT IN. WE WERE BOOKING CALLS FOR WHEN WE RETURNED. I NOTICED THAT THEY DID NOT BOOK THE CALL FOR YOU WHEN YOU CALLED IN. IF WE WERE ABLE TO COME OUT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT AT MIDNIGHT IF THAT IS WHAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN TO GET THE POWER BACK ON. WE TAKE PRIDE IN HELPING EVERYONE THAT CALLS OUR COMPANY WITH ELECTRICAL NEEDS. WE HAVE MANY PAST CUSTOMERS THAT WOULD AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT. WE SHOW WHEN WE ARE SCHEDULED TO OR MAKE SURE WE CALL. THIS GOT BY US BEING WE WERE OUT OF TOWN IN TRAINING. WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN WITH THE CALL TAKER NOT MAKING SURE THE CUSTOMER KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL TODAY. AGAIN WE ARE SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU.

This is an update to a previous report filed 30 June 2008. If you read that one, please read on!. Larry (the owner) was the one who actually came out to perform the work. He comped the work that was not done or done incorrectly. Frankly, I was amazed as the original work had been done FOUR YEARS AGO, and he still made good on it. This is a kind of service and integrity you simply do not find anymore. He was upfront about other charges. He was very professional and the price was comparable to other companies, but far more prompt and friendly. After the work was completed, there were some issues with my cable connectivity. He came back out the very next day (even though he was out of town for most of that day) and installed different, more expensive equipment for no charge. If I could find a way to erase or delete my previous comments I would. He was professional from start to finish. He worked quickly and efficiently. I have already recommended ABSOLUTE to a neighbor and would, without hesitation, recommend ABSOLUTE to anyone with a need for an efficient, professional electrician. In fact, I liked Larry so much, I hired his brother to re-roof my house. See the review for Warner Roofing elsewhere on Angie's list.
