We've used them several times. They have a great way to communicate before, during and after the call. They follow up to see how the customer feels and if the work was done adequately. They have great customer service.

The electrician (Bob) reported on time. He replaced the exhaust fan and changed the location of the garbage disposal switch. He cleaned up after himself. Will use him and Current again. Would recommend them.

For 6 years the electrical appliances in my basement (washer, dehumidifier, freezer, and sump pump) were an accident waiting to happen. There was only ONE existing outlet in the basement and I had all those things running off of it, via surge protector. The electrician, whose name i forget, was really cool. We chatted about creepy crawlies that we have encountered in basements over the years and football. I was sold, I even bought the extended service agreement for future projects.
Description of Work: Installed 3 extra outlets in my basement.

The service was okay. I did have to help them fish out an electrical wire as I needed the light outside and we had to run that underneath the siding.
Description of Work: This was a Big Deal for $109.00 for $200.00 of electrical service. They did more than the amount of time was allowed for the Big Deal so we did pay more. He tested some outdoor lights and he put boxes over the existing outdoor outlets. This was after a siding job and he took care of what should have been done by that company.

They were fantastic. I used Dan and he was wonderful. He was just really good, he gave me a price before he did anything. He gave me choices and options and said if you don't want this we can take this off. He did it very quick and clean and gave me some ideas. The whole thing worked out really well. It was a good experience. I'd have him back again if I need electrical work.
Description of Work: I last used Current Electric a couple of weeks ago to replace under cabinet lighting and all of the kitchen lighting. I had 15 lights replaced and they did a hallway redo.

It wasn't pleasant. They seemed to be very professional and they did a nice job. I just did not realize how expensive an electrician was. So maybe that was me just not knowing. The final cost of the service was about $400.

They were unable to do the work that I initially asked them as he was uncomfortable with that. I needed them to install an outlet in a porch. They did not want to do it because of the amount of conduit that would need to be installed. I did get the amount that I paid out of the service. They were good to work with but the house I am in needs a lot of electrical work to bring it up to code.
Description of Work: This was a Big Deal for $99.00 for $200.00 of electrical work. They ended up replacing a couple of light sockets due to oxidation.

THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM CURRENT ELECTRIC, JAMES DROTT, WAS ESPECIALLY PROFESSIONAL, VERY THOROUGH IN HIS ANALYSIS OF OUR NEEDS. INSTALLATION WENT VERY SMOOTHLY AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO PROVIDE US WITH EXTRA INFORMATION ON HOW TO SAVE ON OUR UTILITY BILLS.

On time. Very efficient and clean. Job was done to estimate and they did a great job. I'm very pleased to see that our electric bill has dropped by about 15% a month. We should recover our investment in about 3-4 years and, even better, I can stay off the ladder because the bulbs last up to 20 years.

Disappointed overall. Called because the circuit break switch wouldn't reset itself. Service provide came out was professional and started looking at the problem. after sometime he wasn't able to find what the problem was but suspected because it was old wiring in the house it could be anything. Manage to get the circuit rest, but never mention that there was a short in the line somewhere. After completion of work I asked for estimate on wiring the house. The estimate provided was completely unreasonable. After two months the problem came back so I arrange for a different company to come out and look at the problem. The second company was a complete 360 different from Current Electric. After about 15 minutes of looking at the problem I was informed that there was a short in the line somewhere (Current never told me this). I was given up front honest explanation and solution to the problem. I had the line rewired and also asked for estimate on the same job which Current provide and was give a far fair price on the job. In the end I would not recommend Current to any of my friends or family after this experience. Clear they over price jobs to keep you from getting the work done.
Description of Work: Diagnose why circuit breaker wouldn't rest and estimate for rewiring the house.

Despite the fact that we feel we provided the right options, we can empathize with the customer’s frustration. We would like to have had the opportunity to work with the customer to try to clarify any confusion that they may have had. We use every review give to us to grow as a company. Thank you.

They showed up on time, did what they said they would do, and got everything working. If I had any critique at all it would be that they left the front door of the old panel in the basement by mistake. Really not a big deal, and it went into recycling.

The purchase went well and the electrician was good. Unfortunately, one the three lights he fixed broke again two days later. Everything else was very good even though the price was a little on the high side. I’d use him again, though.
