Four Seasons wanted them to put in the outlet boxes a certain way and he didn't want to do it the one they wanted. My sun room would have been done a long time before if he would of worked with the remodeling company.

The service was very good. Due to an emergency he was delayed--he called to tell us of the delay in advanced. The workmanship was very good--he also cleaned up after himself. The fee charged was expected--even a little less. I will recommend this company to others.
Description of Work: Put in fan, change out exterior lights, put light in attic, and put light socket in basement. He also evaluated the replacement of a shower light.

Dan was right on time, in fact he was a few minutes early and was patiently waiting for me when I arrived home. Very friendly and eager to help me understand what was needed and what my options were - both from low cost to high cost. He quickly went about setting up and removing the old fixture and installing the new one, replaced the dimmer switch (he even remembered what color hardware I have in my house) and looked into the details of my next project. He is very knowledgable about his trade and quickly completed the project. Although I didn't have the right type of fixture to attach in a second room, he explained to me what was needed and verifyed when I found it online. I also appreciate that he keeps a list of the projects I have said I want to work on over time (as I update my home) and each time he visits he discusses what I want for my next project, but is never high pressure - more like a project manager. He always leaves an estimate of what the next project will cost which I appreciate for budgeting. Dan's great - I request him by name when I call Current. Looking forward to working with him on future remodeling projects too.
Description of Work: Installed new dimmer switch and light fixture, also inspected and prepared another room for new fixture and assisted me with identifying what fixture type was needed to best work with my existing electrical design (our house is from the '20s).

We were not aware of how badly our original ceiling fans were installed until Dan explained the repair work that was necessary to install our new ceiling fans. Dan did an excellent job of explaining the repair work necessary to install our new fans. We are very pleased with the installation and marvel that the fans don't shake when running. Upon completion of work Dan completely cleaned up which is a plus.

The electrician relocated two outlets. Overall the job was done very well, however the cost was high. We would use them again because of the quality of the work and professionalism of the installer, but the prices seemed higher than necessary.

Found put this spring that they wired it for 50 amp circuit breaker when it says right on hot tub 40 amp - this was found by the electrical inspector.I called and they scheduled an appointment then called to reschedule. Overall Bob was very responsive and worked with iis, but the improper amp on the breaker is disappointing because it could have caused damage to our brand new hot tub. To be fair I think the hot tub literature was incorrect, but if the inspector found the discrepancy within minutes based on the plate on the tub, I would have expected the electrician to as well.
Description of Work: Moved outlets in bedroom to hang tv and move satellite receiver to the closet. Also fixed a ceiling fan and put a dimmer on entryway chandelier. These were all great. Then we did an extensive backyard landscape project where we needed wiring for the hot tub and additional outlets put in.

The electrician arrived and could immediately tell we would not be able to install these lighting fixtures because of their shape and the nature of our wiring (which must protrude from the ceiling). However, he spent a full hour in our home answering our questions and educating us about wiring like ours, what the possibilities for updating it might be, checking on the socket, and offering valuable advice. Not only did he charge us nothing for his time, he also apologized for not being able to install the new fixtures! We were very impressed by his generosity and professionalism, and will definitely use Current Electric for all our future electrical needs.
Description of Work: Electrician came to install two light fixtures and check out a socket that frequently popped its reset button whenever we turned on the nearby ceiling fan. However, he was unable to perform any of the fixture installations because of specifics of the old wiring in our home.

They came on time and were pleasant to work with. My only concern was that they originally told me that they were going to have to vent the fan outside because it was not vented outside and that was code. I looked at the roof myself, from the ground and could see a vent coming out. I pointed it out to the electrician and he said he must have missed it. Not a big deal, but being a single woman, I am always on the lookout for contractors and making sure that they are not trying to overcharge me. He apolized and did the work in a timely manner. Turned out great!
Description of Work: They installed a new fan/light combo in the bathroom.

Description of Work: I Current Electric for electrical work. I told them to check the wiring in the house. I had him check something on the restroom and he took care of that. We had a trouble with our electricity and it has something to do with the kitchen light. We had him take the old fixture out and put the new fixture in.

I was having an electrical problem in the kitchen because I was cleaning my oven. I just put my oven cleaner on medium and I wasn't paying attention to the oven. I noticed that my refrigerator light wasn't on and neither was the clock on the stove and the microwave clock. The light switch was not working either. I noticed I still did not have power in the kitchen. I tried to fix it a few ways, but noticed I still had electrical problems. After calling them, he came three days after and noticed that there was something overheating my circuit. He thought the problem was the stove. He noticed there was something wrong with the wiring system. He double-checked everything. I had him look at my ceiling fan too and took it all apart. He noticed that in the part where the wires go into the housing there was a brownish color. He said it was that the wire had been burning and there could have been a fire any time when I was running the fan. The electrician even went out and bought me a new fan and added it to my bill so I didn't have to drive over there. I thought that was really fantastic. He came back with the new part, fixed it, and was gone within an hour and a half. Anytime I have electrical problems on my property I will always ask for him. He is fantastic. He was just over here two weeks ago to install an electrical outlet for my tenant too. It was so the tenant could have a chairlift to go up and down the stairs. It took him about an hour. He did a great job there too.

Had electrician come out for an estimate on separating wiring from upstairs and downstairs circuit breakers. The estimate was very high, so I called back to discuss different options. I called the main line twice since I did not have the electricans number, and was told the electrician would call me back. I have yet to hear from the electrician who performed the estimate. Just frusterating as now I will have to take another half day off of work for another electrician to come out.

It went great! After a less than stellar experience with another company, I was delighted with Current Electric's service. They were responsive, thorough and on-time. After the work was complete the technician took the time to review his work with me. Pricing was fair - in fact, a bit less than the other company we had previously had contact with. I will definitely use Current Electric again.

Dan communicates very clearly in both written and spoken form. He is very reliable ... always on time. Dan has a calming personality which inspires trust in his work. His enthusiasm for what he does is obvious. The work has been done meticulously and is well worth the cost.
Description of Work: Basically, we're getting all the most critical safety features replaced and upgraded in our 85 year old house (switches, outlets, etc.) as well as new fan boxes, GFCI receptacles where required and any needed plaster repair. Later this summer we'll have the electrical panel and service components updated.

We had four estimates for major electrical work on our house. Current was the only company that gave an accurate estimate and realized the true extent of what was going to need to be completed. We chose to go elsewhere because we thought we could get a lower rate but the cost ended up surpassing their original estimate. They definitely know what they're talking about. They also came out on a weekend with short notice.

Excellent service. They worked very hard to try and figure out where the existing wires went but couldn't find it. Came back and ran new wires. Accidentally drilled into hardwood floor but patched it so it is hardly noticeable.

This was the second time we have used Current Electric. Our electrician, Nathan, was prompt, knowledgeable, and did a great job. We used them a few months ago to replace several light fixtures, so when we needed another electrician we felt comfortable calling them. All of the outlets in our home needed to be upgraded.

We contacted Current Electric because we've worked with them several times in the past and have always been satisfied with their work. We especially like that they give a set price from the start (as opposed to hourly) so we know ahead of time what the cost will be. With the basement room, we weren't really sure what was possible. The person who came to give us an estimate was very helpful in letting us know our options. Again, the work was done very well. And even tho it took longer than what had been estimated, the price stayed the same. When the job was delayed because the main worker had a family emergency, the company sent extra workers the next time to make sure things were finished in a timely way. The only reason I'm giving a B this time for overall experience is because the company overcharged my credit card by $100. Apparently the sheet the worker turned in wasn't real clear. It took a number of emails back and forth, some scans, and some time to get this cleared up. That said, the office person I worked with was very patient and professional and pleasant throughout the process.
Description of Work: Smoke detectors installed on all three floors of house. Carbon monoxide detector installed. Whole house electrical inspection. Doorbell repaired. Old conduit and wiring removed from section of basement being "finished" and new wiring put in.
