He installed the light fixtures I bought, then I had him looked at the light in my kitchen above the sink, and he told me that it looks like I just need to get a new light fixtures then he asked me if I purchased this thru Angie's List and when I said yes, he just okay, "Bye". I thought we had enough time to get my $200 worth of credit to install a new switch but he just left.

The electrician found an error in the bathroom which was a loosen wire and I was charged full price for the five-minute work. I was not too happy about it as the charge was too high for this work. He, however, was able to resolve the second work, which was the office's circuit - the problem was a mess, but I was happy that the office is working again. I just wished the charge would not be at high as $275. Dan

Hello, Thank you for taking time to write about your experience. It sounds like you had a good experience with our technician, though you didn't feel like you got the best value for your money. I understand how unexpected repairs can be frustrating, and I hope you do choose to call us again when you need more electrical work and give us a chance to change the way you feel. -Dan

Two employees were assigned, with a third coming because he was freed up. They were promptly here on time, very polite and courteous. They put bags on their feet to not dirty up my house, as well as they cleaned up everything afterwards. They were very knowledgeable and performed the tasks quickly. They would show me what they would do before hand and then show me again afterwards to make sure I was satisfied. They accomplished a lot for what I paid so I felt like I got a good deal. It was a very good experience working with this company. I would definitely go with them again. I'm very satisfied.
Description of Work: I had them put in 3 GFI outlets in the bathrooms, trouble shoot multiple lights/outlets that did not turn on, installed hallway light, installed recessed lighting in shower ceiling, tested electricity to hot tub and made sure wiring was good, create switch to control fan/lighting.

They did a good job, I am happy with the service provided. The panel itself (Eaton) appears a bit cheaply made (the door is bent and doesn't close well) however the inspector said that's common with most panels these days, and the panel itself is a quality product as far as function and performance.
Description of Work: Upgrade service panel from 60 amp to 200 amp. The exterior conduit from the roof down to the basement also was redone, with new wiring to support the larger load.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Your feedback is how we ensure that all of our clients receive the same top quality, consistent service. I am very happy to hear that you had a great experience with our technicians. Regarding your electrical panel, we pride ourselves on providing nothing but the best quality products designed to stand the test of time, and if the cover on the panel isn't up to par, I would like to replace it for you. Rest assured that what's under the cover is the best you can get. Please email me at dan@currentelectricco.com so I can set up a time to get that cover swapped out for you. Thanks again, Dan

Called to request and estimate/ quote to upgrade 2 - 60 amp service panels (with fuses) in upper/lower West Milwaukee duplex. Was informed that there would be a $45 dispatch fee for the tech to come and assess the situation. When I questioned the fee, I was told the tech could begin the work right away. I said that would not be possible as this was a potential large job that would most likely require replacing and updating the meter sockets. I indicated I needed an estimate due to the amount of work required. I was told again that there would be a $45 dispatch fee. I said "No, thank you. I have no interest in paying a fee for an estimate." I would understand the policy if the business was operating as simply a repair service, but their website clearly states a wide array of services and "quoted up front prices". I will say they were up front regarding the $45 dispatch fee, but was certainly surprised by the fee. I spoke with 3 other contractors and none had any fees associated with obtaining an estimate.

Hi (Removed Member Name), I would like to thank you for your feedback. As much as we love reading positive reviews, we also appreciate hearing about areas that need improvement. I apologize that our service truck fee was disappointing to you; I also want you to know that all of our Angie's List customers get an automatic $25 discount, which would bring the truck fee down to $20. I am very sorry if my office failed to explain the charges properly. Please feel free to call me directly if you would like to discuss any future projects; I would very much appreciate the opportunity to do some work for you. --Dan, Service Technician

We had a heavy hanging pendant light in our den. The ring on the light fixture broke, pulled the wires from the ceiling, and shorted out the circuit. We contacted them about it. They weren't available for about 2 weeks, but told us to keep the circuit off so there wouldn't be a problem. On the day before our service call, we found out that we might have a slight conflict with the appointment time, so I called and asked if they could push it back a little and they had no problem with that. Lee came out right on time (the new time) and looked at the light. He said that it actually pulled the fixture cord from the ceiling, not the wires which was good. We had purchased a new light fixture as a replacement. He put it together and wired it back up. Everything worked perfectly. He then asked if there was anything else he could help us with, which we didn't. Very nice guy! This is the second time we used them. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them in the future.

If I need anything electrical to do I call them. I have had three different electricians they have never disappointment me. They went overboard to accommodate me. I did not have a part and he said he knew where he could get a part and he went to get the part and the receipt and he put it in. He said it was a part of their service. The fan I had could have caused a fire and they did excellent work.

Excellent. One part of the job was to replace the old rusty water-damaged electrical panel (circa 1966) with a new one and move the location to a different wall of the basement (to avoid more possible/future water damage). The other part of the job was to replace the outlets in every room - because cords would not stay plugged in. We could have done the job ourselves, but we are not electricians and wanted to ensure that the job was done properly and safely. Kevin and his helper were courteous, conscientious, considerate (wore booties over his shoes in the house), and did a great job cleaning up the multiple areas. We have had zero issues - everything works exactly as we had hoped.
Description of Work: Kevin replaced 100-amp service panel. Updated ground service and added surge protection. Replaced 32 outlets throughout the house and grounded same.

I would NEVER recommend this company. Not quite sure why they have such good ratings. Dan was very nice when he came out to give us a bid and inspect our electrical but seemed like he was trying to "upsell" us on things we didn't even ask for. Then we received a super high quote given to us in "package options". Not only are the bids they gave us DOUBLE the one we received from another local company, but the work we did have them do they charged us double for also and installed a new metal box that the other electrician said we didn't even necessarily need. When we called to ask for a breakdown in costs and how they figured out the charges, they could not give us one. When we asked why the 1 thing we did have Dan do was so expensive in comparison to what the other company told us it would cost, we were told that because we did not go with one of the "package options" and just had one item done, it was charged at a higher fee. What?! How does that even make sense? So....basically, they can charge you whatever the heck they want to...???! When my husband called Current Electric and talked with the electrician, Dan, directly he could get no specific answers on how they breakdown their charges. He felt that Dan was condescending to him and basically didn't care that we were not happy with how they do business. We are a hard working, middle class family with 3 kids to feed and it is so sad to me that this company would try to make as much money as possible off of us and our obvious ignorance about electrical work. They should be ashamed of themselves. They are not trustworthy and do not deserve the high ratings they have on this site. I am beginning to think that the high ratings are suspect. Shame on you Current Electric.

It was fine. They did a very good job for us. I have no complaints. They came out a couple of weeks after the purchase. We've had them out here several times over the last couple of years. They are very prompt. I am very pleased with their work and they don't leave a mess. When they are done, everything works. I think that their price is good, it's what I would expect. I would use them again.
