They rewired a security system with a septic service that I have in my yard. They were awesome. I didn’t dislike anything. What I liked about them specifically was that they showed up in the last minute on a Friday night. It was pouring down rain and he had to rewire some electrical work in the rain and he did it within an hour. He didn’t overcharge me because he had to come out in the last minute. I have recommended them to others. I would use them again in the future.

It went great! I will definitely hire them again as needed.
Description of Work: Was able to quickly track down the reason that our back light wasn't working, even though the light bulb and circuit breakers were in working order. Was able to save us money by suggesting using a spare electrical part that we happen to have. Was very pleasant and friendly. Worked very quickly, very professionally.

They are a large company and they are located in many places. They were thorough and they answered questions. They were timely in getting here and they gave us good estimates. They seemed to be reasonable where cost was concerned. They were recommended to us by a friend of ours and we are very satisfied with their work.
Description of Work: I used the service of Prairie Electric Inc a year and half ago to do an analysis of our circuits which were not working properly and also installation of new circuits to comply with the code. They discovered effective DFI and replaced that and installed some RV hook ups for electricity outside the house.

He was very good. He said He would be here in a certain time and he was just a little bit behind schedule but he worked out fine. He showed up later, got it done in ten minutes and he was gone. I loved his service; he was just wonderful and great with his service. There is nothing that I disliked. I saw that they have a pretty good rating on Angie's List and since then everything I think I need to get it done, I look at Angie's List to get a referral. Each time he calls me, he calls me by my first name and I was really happy with him. I'm going to use him again in a couple of weeks for another project I've got. He is a certified electrician. This is the first time I've used him.
Description of Work: Prairie Electric Inc came out and replaced the fuse in our electric box on April 20th.

An electrical circuit in the kitchen went out. We tried all the simple things we knew to try, then checked Angie's list for an electrician. Scott came out and, sure enough, found a faulty GFCI. He repaired it promptly and things were back to normal.

Once Dean arrived (there was an issue with the wrong address given to him) it was 4pm, which is normally closing time for them. He didn't blink an eye and worked on the issue in the pouring rain and actually into the dark hours. He finished the work and everything was DONE RIGHT!
Description of Work: Electrical issue with septic alarm system and pump GFI outlet. Dean re-installed a new outlet box and bubble cover for the septic system. He also troublshooted the alarm which we found out the previous electrician I had hired a year ago had cut the wires to the alarm which was the main problem with the system. Dean re-wired and J-boxed the wires for the alarm.

I had some minor things I needed to have done and put off hiring anyone as I had no basis for reference-thanks to Angie's list, I located Prarie Electric. I scheduled an appointment but had to call at the last minute to reschedule. Tom was able to squeeze me in the next day. Dean, the electrician not only showed up on time, but called ahead to ask if it would be all right to come early. He arrived when he said he would, went right to work-I had 3 items that needed attention-and when the third became a little more complicated, Dean did not give up. I would reccommend this company for it's customer service, the prompt, quick repairs and their cleanliness.
Description of Work: Had 3 jobs to be completed: the replacement of the stove plug in, a new outlet installed on my deck, and the switches on the hallway that allowed access from either end was wired wrong.

When you call, you always get a response. The workers they have, Ben in particular were very professional and he listened to me. They were very prompt. Their work is impeccable. It really looks like a piece of art, it?s so precise. They were just the nicest people to deal with. They sent me a bill promptly and didn?t pressure me for the payment and I didn?t have to pay up front. They cleaned up after themselves and left everything tidy. They are the best company I?ve worked with. I would absolutely hire them again.
Description of Work: I had a power pole installed in my property. They connected the power to that poll and underground to my house. They rewired the location in my house as well.

I found that the service they did was good. They were responsive, even during bad weather. However, I believe that the price was bordering on extortion. They took advantage of a captive audience to jack up the price to an unreasonable amount.
Description of Work: I was having trouble with a circuit breaker in a rental property. My regular electrician was out of town. I looked at Angie's List and called Prairie Electric. This was on a weekend in bad weather. They were very prompt and did the work.

Response from Prairie Electric Inc
WE ARE DISAPPOINTED WHEN A CUSTOMER HAS ANY ISSUES WITH OUR SERVICE OR PRICING. IN THIS CASE, WE DISAGREE WITH THE CUSTOMER’S STATEMENTS AND BELIEVE OUR WORK WAS FAIRLY PRICED. FACTORS INCLUDE: 1.THE MAIN BREAKER AT THE CUSTOMER’S RENTAL PROPERTY WAS FAILING. THIS REQUIRED REPLACING THE MAIN BREAKER, NOT SIMPLY A CIRCUIT BREAKER. THE MAIN BREAKER WAS ARCING AND BUZZING AND POSED A FIRE HAZARD TO THE HOME. 2.THE BREAKER REPAIR WAS DONE ON AN “EMERGENCY SERVICE” BASIS ON A SATURDAY DURING A MAJOR SNOWSTORM. 3.OUR EMERGENCY SERVICE PRICING OF $150 PER HOUR IS REASONABLE FOR THE AREA, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS. OUR INVOICE TOTAL FOR TIME AND MATERIALS WAS $600 PLUS SALES TAX. 4.PRAIRIE ELECTRIC CARRIED THE REPLACEMENT MAIN BREAKER IN STOCK, SAVING THE CUSTOMER MONEY. IF THE NEW MAIN BREAKER WAS NOT IN STOCK, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO ARRANGE FOR A SPECIAL DELIVERY OF A REPLACEMENT BREAKER. 5.AT THE CUSTOMER’S REQUEST PRAIRIE ELECTRIC MADE SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE LOCAL UTILITY TO DISCONNECT POWER, AND RECONNECT POWER AFTER THE REPAIR. 6.THE CUSTOMER AGREES THAT THE FINAL COST WAS “RIGHT ON” AS COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE. IF THE CUSTOMER DID NOT WANT TO PROCEED, HE COULD HAVE SCHEDULED THE WORK LATER, OR MADE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS. 7.THE RENTAL HOME HAD MULTIPLE TENANTS/RESIDENTS ON SITE. OUR PROMPT REPAIR ELIMINATED A FIRE HAZARD AND POTENTIALLY AVOIDED THE NEED TO RELOCATE THESE TENANTS DURING SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES IF THE MAIN HAD FAILED OR HAD TO BE TURNED OFF. IN SUMMARY, WE BELIEVE THAT PRAIRIE ELECTRIC RESPONDED QUICKLY AND PROFESSIONALLY TO AN EMERGENCY REPAIR DESPITE SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE PRICE WAS AS QUOTED TO THE CUSTOMER PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT, AND WAS FAIR FOR THE WORK PERFORMED.

We called and they sent a crew within the hour. The guys went right to work and troubleshoot a frayed cable I was concerned about and fixed it promptly and to our satisfaction. The crew of 2 then worked together very efficiently to install two can lights in our family room and completed the job in less than two hours. They covered all of the furniture and protected our composite wood flooring and cleaned up their mess (lots of insulation and wallboard dust) completely.
Description of Work: Repaired damaged insulation on 220 cable. Installed 2 canned lights in the family room.

I contacted them via email and they were very responsive, and also easily available via phone to make the initial appointment. I called a few places to get estimates, and Prairie Electric quoted me $80 (minimum call) for the job, so I decided to go with them. We scheduled and they gave me a 2-hour window of when they'd be by. After that, another electrician emailed to say he could do the job for $75 including parts/labor/taxes, but I didn't really see a need to change for just $5. Anyway, a little over an hour into the 2-hour window, they called to make sure we'd be home and they came by. It took about an hour, and afterwards they just left and sent a bill. The bill was for $115. I was not expecting it to be over 40% more than the original estimate, but I also didn't really feel like squabbling over $35, especially since the initial estimate did not clearly state whether or not it included parts.
Description of Work: I had them install a new thermostat for an electric wall-mounted heater.

They were good. They would not give an estimate before doing the work, but they gave me an estimate on how much stuff would cost. We had a billing problem. They got my credit card information and would send me a statement. Instead they sent me a bill and never did charge my credit card. I got a past due notice and had to go through the process again of giving my credit card information.
