The first two experiences I had with them were wonderful. The experience was great, their prices were perfect. We talked to the owner and he was a real gem. We wanted to use them again for another project but the pricing was way too high. We had a brand new microwave and double oven and the boss told me that we had to double wire a double oven and it would be about $1200.00. Estimate was way too high so I got a second opinion and had the work done for $400.00, which made me lose trust in Prairie Electric Inc.
Description of Work: They came out and grounded a microwave for us and started a line. Second time they came out to check the fuse box. Third time they came out and I only got an estimate.

The response was very quick and completed on the day that I called. Paul was the electrician that came to my rescue. He was very polite, courteous, and was able to solve the problem relatively quickly. I would definately use Prairie Electric again.
Description of Work: I called Prairie Electric because the power to a detached shop kept going out. There was a spliced underground wire from the house to the shop that had shorted out due to moisture. Paul identified the problem, located the splice, and fixed the wiring.

I called to inquire how much to replace 2 old motion detectors outside my home. The person I talked to was very courteous and helpful, advising me to go purchase them myself to save money, and what to look for when shopping. I did as he suggested, and when I called to tell him I had them, he sent out a workman to hang them that day. I was very satisfied with their service, and consideration in trying to save me money.

I would recommend Prairie Electric to everyone. They were prompt, courteous, and very fair in their cost. They also left our property in great shape which was no easy task considering the weather.
Description of Work: Randy Lipe of Prairie Electric was great from start to finish. When asked to give an estimate on a line extension he was prompt and came in with the best price. His crew arrived on Monday, dug the ditch,came back the next day to put in the J-box,place the cable in conduit up to where they installed the transformer, continued to the secondary pedestal, then continued up to the BDR which is a temporary panel for construction usage. Everything was finished that day, inspected by the county the next day, and the ditch was covered that day.

It went well. I asked for an estimate that included replacing an existing bath fan, installing a can light in a shower ( they'd wired for it previously) and replacing two other lights with led can lights. The estimate for the two replacements was far too high for my budget ( I think I was overly optimistic about how much the cost of led fixtures has dropped), so I didn't have that done. The other jobs were doing quickly and cleanly. However, I can't give them a top rating because the new fan required four-inch ducting, and the existing fan only used three inch, so the electrician left it without attaching the ducting. I had supplied the fan, but it just seems logical that they'd have a few of the essentials of installation with them, like a few sections of different sizes of Ducting. I cannot use the fan when the shower is running so that I don't pump moisture into the crawl space, until I get a chance to go up and install new ducting myself.
Description of Work: Installed a can light and replaced a bath fan.

Prairie Electric serviced some outdoor lighting that had been installed (by someone else) approximately 10 years ago. Some of the circuits were out and some of the lights were bad. Dean, the person who came out, fixed the problems quickly and efficiently; all the lights work now. Dean was friendly and professional and explained clearly what he was doing and what he found. I was surprised at how quickly he got all of the problems resolved. Note that the cost was almost entirely labor as I had all the spare bulbs and lights on hand. He did supply some wire nuts suitable for use underground that were superior to the ones I had on hand. I am very happy with the work and the price--I had expected a much higher price--and will gladly use them in future.
Description of Work: Repaired outdoor lighting that was not working. Repaired broken wires/loose connections; replaced faulty lamps.

I was delighted with the work and the efficiency.
Description of Work: I asked for help with a broken doorbell but after replacing and testing the transformer, Prairie inspected my pond which was wired incorrect put in a much better and safer outdoor plug with an outdoor cover) They then told me what was wrong with a bathroom light (the thermostats would shut it down because the bulb as the wrong wattage. Prairie also repaired an outdoor halogen spotlight that had been incorrectly installed. They essentially did four repairs under an hour. I had some parts but they supplied others. This was very cost effective and fast. I will use them again.

The total cost of the electrical project is around $6,100. I was so impressed with the work they did for me on the electrical rough-in that I asked them to return to do the electrical trim-out. Their workers are very professional, pricing was reasonable, and the work was completed on time. I would certainly recommend them and use them for future work.

I sent an email request for a bid on Fri, received a call with a bid from owner Tom Lindberg Mon morning, and the work was scheduled for the following Mon. Electrician Dean arrived on time and completed the work in under an hour including clean-up. He also made a quick repair of a ceiling light fixture. He was extremely knowledgeable about fire/smoke/CO2 alarms, very personable, and he answered all my questions. This was an A+ service!

Electrician said the call was billed at $150, was their anything else I wanted done. Thus, I had outlets put in outside - something that has been on my To-do list for over 1 year. So thankful he didn't allow me to waste my $150!!
