Description of Work: After looking at Scott's reviews on Angie's I was very excited to get a quote to increase service to my home. What initially peaked my interest was that Scott had numerous high ratings that noted his service and price and that he was to be very punctual and replied to contact in a speedy manner. Unfortunately for me, my experience has been the opposite. After replying a day after my first email inquiry (two days after my attempt at phone contact) Scott replied with a short email that stated that he would be interested in helping but that he is not booking until early November as he is booked solid. He then asked for a time-frame. As my project relates to the finishing of a basement and I have no real plans to do this until later this fall I noted that November would be more than okay. It has been nearly two weeks and no reply. | |Take it for what it is. Scott did not do any work for me so he may indeed have the best services for the best price. However making timely contact is extremely important to me and thus my review.

Description of Work: I initially had them come out to fix a switch that was not working properly. They replaced the switch. I had many questions for Scott and he took the time to answer each question and gave tips on how to resolve some issues we were having. I told that are lights dimmed when we turned our porch light on. He said it may be cause by loose ground connections in the breaker box, so he had his tech check all of the grounds and tightened them. He also repaired an outlet I was having issues with and explained how he did in case I need to fix other ones. He also gave me a quote to add some additional lighting in our living room. I would use Scott again.

Completely satisfied.

He was very fast, very prompt, and very, very reasonable.

Scott's work was just as I expected based on other reviews. On my first call, he suggested a systematic procedure for me to narrow the range of potential causes for the problem (intermittent short). After I did so, on a second call, Scott agreed to stop by and survey the system. He showed up precisely when he said, and we agreed on a work plan. He came on a Saturday morning, and quickly accomplished everything we agreed on, and a very reasonable cost. I will be happy to use him again when an electrical problem arises.
Description of Work: Isolated the location of a short (on an underground external line to a lampost) which will be repaired when the weather allows, and replaced a number of toggle switches which weren't working relkably.

Scott was great. Unfortunately, the burning smell would not materialize while he was here. He left for awhile and came back later, hoping to check it out, but the smell still didn't appear. He took down both of the ceiling fans that could be involved. He said they both looked fine and he explained why they looked okay and what they would look like if they were not. He was very thorough in his investigation of the cause. The burning smell is still a mystery, as it hasn't happened since he was here, so maybe something with the ceiling fans was causing it. He said if it ever smells again to call him and he would come over right away if at all possible. I would definitely call him for any future electrical problems.
Description of Work: Scott investigated a burning plastic smell I have in one of my bedrooms. In the past it had only smelled when the ceiling fan had been on all day, although just prior to when I called him, it seemed to be doing it more often and not taking as long. He investigated all possibilities. The main suspected cause was the ceiling fan(s), so he took them both down and inspected them.

Note: I'm fairly picky about contractors. I've met and worked with many trade contractors in a professional capacity and would recommend Scott Kiel Electric without hesitation. I called Scott on a Monday, he answered right away and we discussed electrical issues at our home. He was very patient and thorough in explaining the work, his process and answering all of my questions. He was able to give me a good ballpark quote as well, which turned out to be very close. He arrived on time that Thursday and performed work efficiently and professionally, while explaining the work he was doing to my husband. He was exactly as he was reviewed here. I would use him and recommend him in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Installed and vented bathroom fan, installed GFCI, junction boxes in attic.

I called him, told him the list of things I needed done, he estimated a time needed to do the job & we set up the appt. I looked onAngies list & read reviews which is how I chose him. I had used another company from Angies list & was disappointed. Not this time
Description of Work: I had several small jobs, replacing hall, light fixtures in 2 bathrooms, replacing outdoor light fixture, cking & replacing bulbs in 3 season room, along w/ replacing an attic fan. Scott was so easy to work w/ & very knowledgeable. I will call him again when I need something electrical done. I was very happy w/ him & the work he did.

I called Scott based on very positive Angie's List reviews. Even on the phone when I asked for a simple quote, he demonstrated that he really knew what he was talking about! I had concerns about the age of my house, the old wiring (not knob and tube), our failed attempt at installing a fan previously, and concern about the plaster and existing box to support a ceiling fan. With my description, he was able to pretty much lay out every possible scenario and cost outcome. We scheduled an appointment less than a week later based on a ~$100 quote depending on what he saw when he got here. He arrived right on time and was very professional and courteous. After looking things over he explained to me we actually had a pretty great situation because the light box was in great condition and plenty strong to hold the ceiling fan. The wiring was in great condition too. He installed the fan in a jiffy (we had purchased a new fan that did not require any additional cutting away of the plaster because the light box was in good condition... something we would not have been comfortable diagnosing). I will rest easy tonight not worrying about that fan falling on my head. Well worth the $70 to know it was done right. He even cleaned up before he left. I will definitely use Scott again for electrical work and have already recommended him to a friend. Super easy.
Description of Work: Installed ceiling fan.

We discussed the project over the phone and he gave a estimate of how long it would take and his hourly rate. We set a project date less than a week out. He arrived on time and completed the job as estimated. Very personable and professional.

I was very impressed with Scott's professionalism and honesty. We live in an older home and he seemed very knowledgeable in regards to "electrical history." This was one of the best experiences I've have with a contractor and would certainly hire him again!

He's completed 8-10 different project days...each has gone perfectly.
Description of Work: Scott has done dozens of electrical projects around my house from running new circuits and outlets for my workshop to installing recessed lighting. I never hesitate to have him over to help with any electrical project. Typically he's in the house doing work and I'm gone for the day, never a worry, he does a great job, is super happy to explain why things are the way they are, and gets everything cleaned up when he's done.

Scott is a very good communicator - thorough and clear. He explained what would be necessary to get the project done during the free consultation and estimate. He was polite and professional. Scott was on time, and performed the work in a timely manner. I am very satisfied with the work and the price.
