I emailed the company and they promptly got back to me. The appointment was set for a few days out. Jon arrived at the scheduled time. He was super polite, professional, conscientious, very nice to deal with. He installed the ceiling fan. He had to install the box or bracket that holds the ceiling fan, because there was just an existing light fixture in the ceiling. Jon went into the attic and drilled to install more wires?.... actually I'm not really sure why. Anyway the ceiling fan is up and running. Jon cleaned up the area before he left. I have no complaints other than it was a bit pricey. I've had two ceiling fans installed in the past in my house and the pricing was no where near $400. Oh well. I am happy with the job Jon did.
Description of Work: Installed ceiling fan in kitchen in place of existing light fixture using existing wiring.

Arrived on time. Very professional and efficient. Located the problem and repaired it. Part of the issue was related to an outside fixture on our porch and the electrician suggested that we contact the condo assn to have them fix that portion of the problem so we did not have to cover the expense. That was very much appreciated.

No solution to our problem.
Description of Work: They were supposed to find the cause of the main circuit which keeps tripping but in over two hours of investigating, could not find the cause. During his work he broke a cover for the light which is over the sink and left one light fixture not working (it was working before he came.) I had to let him go because I didn't have enough money to cover him continuing his work.

I was amazed to get service on the day of my initial contact with Current Electric. They understand my concern about not having any light around my garage when coming home after dark. Service person was prompt, courteous and thorough. I felt price was reasonable. I have some additional electric work to be done at a later date and will definitely contact Current Electric to do the work.
Description of Work: Identify why outside garage spotlights would not turn on. The lights are controlled with 2 switches, one in the garage and one in the kitchen. The switch in the kitchen was found to be defective and was replaced.

The technician was very professional and was very clear about what he was going to do. He was very helpful and courteous. I appreciated that he gave me the hourly rate for some additional work (the circuit breaker) and gave me a time check when he was about to go into the second hour. He worked efficiently and helped us solve some circuit mysteries.

They tried to up-sell me. There was a bad wire behind the meter that needed to be replaced. They lied and told me it required a permit and I had to have a bunch of other unnecessary stuff done to bring it up to code. The price they quoted was $1000. I still have their estimate I can send you if you wish. I called the city's electrical inspector as soon as they gave me this jaw-dropping estimate and was told for a simple repair like this, no permit was required - Current lied! I called Advanced Electric and they did the work for $250.

[member name removed], I am sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good experience with Current Electric. The normal process we follow when WE Energies sites a violation is to pull a permit, complete the repair to today’s code, call the inspector to inspect the work, then the inspector submits a letter to WE Energies stating that they can turn the power back on to the residence. Our goal is to provide our customers with the safest and most effective options to rectify their situation. Sincerely, Current Electric

Two men came to do the work - they were prompt, courteous and efficient. They supplied just the right fixture I wanted under a kitchen cabinet, plus a switch and 2 new outlets, one a double. It required running another line to the circuit box, a bit far away. They gave me a quote up front. I had paid $200 for the AngiesList BigDeal, but their work cost over $800 more. I was surprised by how expensive it was, but agreed anyway. They noticed another undercounter light that was installed improperly and disonnected it for my safety - fixing it was too high at this time. I was very pleased with the results, but I will probably go back to my other electrician, who was also good and more reasonable.
Description of Work: Added 2 outlets, one a double, and an under-cabinet light with wall light switch in my kitchen. This required a new line down to the circuit box.

We asked a few contractors for a quotation and decided to hire Current Electric, though they were not the cheapest. When Bob of Current Electric came in for the quote, he impressed us with a very detailed analysis of the work that needed to be done. He spotted a few issues that needed to be addressed that other contractor missed and factored that into the quote. He priced 3 options out so we could see the incremental costs. Another important factor was that his quote was result based (getting the job done) so not merely an estimate. On the day of installation, they arrived as promised, performed the work as promised, were courtuous througout and clean up after the work was completed. Although it took a bit longer than expeced, we paid exactly what was agreed upon. No surpises! Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Changed electrical service from a 100 AMP to a 200 AMP service.

They were fine. We actually got a coupon from Angie’s List. They were punctual. They are not very far from where we live. The young electrician that came out told us what was going on with our doorbell and we actually had to move it to a different site. We had a storm proof door and we don’t know why it’s not working.

the pricing was simple so that was good. the workmanship was ok but there ended up being a lot of holes that were begrudgingly patched poorly and roughly. plus where he had to do a surface run of the electrical it was all very loose and does not look exactly professional. to top it off, the clean up was terrible. all of my attic insulation was left piled up to one side, a lot of debris left on the carpet including pieces of metal from conduit punch outs, screws, saw dust, etc. I will give someone lese a try next time for sure.

After talking to three other plumbers about this job, I couldn't be more pleased with the work that Current Electric did. Their great service started from the first contact--they were open decently late to answer the phone and the woman on the phone was (1) knowledgeable, (2) friendly, and (3) able to quickly get us on the schedule. She promised a follow up the next morning which came exactly as promised. When Dan, the electrician, arrived, he was on time, friendly, and professional. Our work required two visits (as we anticipated), and he was efficient and flexible with getting the work done. The price came in exactly as they quoted. We had a cheaper quote, but I thought this price was fair for the great work and service. We'd use them again without hesitation.
Description of Work: Installed a couple of new outlets, a new circuit for a dishwasher, added a new panel because our existing panel was full, and fixed some issues with the old panel. They also ran power to a light.

Very very well. I was very pleased with them. They even replanted my plants for me, since they had to make room for the generator. My husband got quotes from 3 other companies - Roman electric never returned my inquiry, another company called Heartland we didn't like because they were high pressure and wanted to sell us a smaller unit for more money. Current Electric gave us the size we wanted at a lower price. Price wise and what were were paying, Current was the best buy and the best product at the lowest price.
