Came out to give me an estimate. Initially did not think they could do it for a couple of weeks. Electric company needed their portable electric hook up sooner. Adjusted their schedule and did the work the following Monday.
overall the experience was real easy. was able to make an appt with my 1st call. actual appt lasted less than an hour.
Description of Work: Installed a ceiling fan, chandelier and kitchen light. Arrived on time and completed work lickety split. Yes, I probably could have done the work myself, but they did the work in less than an hour whereas it would have taken me probably more than a day!

Response from Current Electric Co
We at Current Electric strive to provide the best service possible to each and every one of our customers and are very sorry to hear you don't feel you received service of that caliber. Speaking with our technician, we realize that as humans, slipups occassionally occur. On a day such as this, where yet another unkind winter storm made that morning slightly unpredictable, a slipup is what happened. Instead of providing you with excuses, we'd like to apologize and use this as a chance to learn and improve. We are confident in stating that this is not the Current Electric experience we aim to provide for our customers.

A bill was sent to me in December with an apology for it being late. The Bill was in excess of $700+. I notified the company, speaking with Bill, who stated my bill was $1250.00+ and that I was told this at the time of the work being done. I had corrected him on this, stating I would not accept that charge for the work that was being done. He also mentioned that 2 big deals could not be used. By his tone I could sense he was quite upset with me. At the end of this conversation, I was told that he would get back to me after speaking to the electrician who had done the work. Time went by when we were able to connect in January. He had made a call to me that could not be returned immediately as I work and have no way to contact them until after hours. When we did speak, there was an apology and it was agreed that the original quoted amount would be the value collected. The only invoice since the original late invoice with an error was today in which it was recorded I was 90 days late and have a finance charge! My concern is with their delays and error in billing I am left with a record of being late and now having a finance charge. The bills should have been made to my businesses at my business locations instead it was made out to me under my home address where I previously had outstanding work done by them. I would like to have this corrected and any tarnish to my credit removed. It is a shame as I had outstanding reviews initially, and being so happy that had tipped the electrician...to now where I doubt if I will use their services again.
Description of Work: I had purchased the big deal for my rental unit A and my separate business in the unit B. I purchased 2 big deals one for each LLC. It took approximately 7-8hours to put in a box and wall switch for a light, install one outlet, move 3 circuit breakers from unit A to unit B and diagnose damage to a door chime from a past renter. I was quoted $350.00 + for the work with using a separate "big deal'' for each business.

i had gotten the deal but felt like the pricing was inflated once onsite. I had to pay another $1100 so I'm not sure i got credit from the original deal i purchased. It was a bit more difficult than I originally thought but still, seemed like alot of money.

Overall, excellent service!!! Dan was professional and upfront about the estimates to do each item. He began putting on shoe covers before walking into our house (how kind!), but I let him know that that was not necessary. I would definitely go with Current Electric again!
Description of Work: Motion sensor light fixtures installed at front door and back door/driveway (the latter needed new conduit since the old conduit was rusted through in places), kitchen light switch for basement light fixed, basement pull chain light fixture replaced. (Price would have been $100 more, but we took advantage of an Angie's List Deal.)

Current Electric contacted the tenant and proceeded as schedule to address the situation. He arrived on a timely basis and proceeded to gather the cost of replacement parts for a total repair in the future.
Description of Work: The electrician checked a ceiling fan that had the fan working but the light within the fixture was not working. He wired it so that the wall switch would activate the light and disabled the pull switch. He submitted an estimate for $100.00 to acquire the necessary materials for an outdated ceiling fan. We choose not to proceed any further at this time. The light was functional and no dangers existed from working in this manner.

We began with having our home inspected(inside and outside of the dwelling) for electrical safety and energy consult, through a "Big Deal" offer. We set up the date for the appointment, and the technician "Deric" called ahead of time as we requested, so we could secure our pet before he arrived. He was on time, very professional, and very knowledgeable. He asked if I would like to go through the inspection as he performed it, or wait until it was complete, and then go through everything upon completion. I watched most of the inspection, and he answered all questions as they came up, and even explained what he was inspecting at each step. When completed, he went through everything again, using a very comprehensive report with commentaries. He made a list of the items he found that needed attention(nothing found was urgent or "dangerous"), so I asked him to give us prices on the list of items, so my spouse and I could look it over. There was no pressure to go with them to do the job, and no pressure for a timetable if we did decide to go with them. Considering the age of our home, we were happy to know that we didn't need many things changed/upgraded, and we agreed with all of the items Deric suggested. We already knew that we wanted an exhaust fan installed in our smaller bathroom. We decided to have the other items taken care of also, so made an appointment for the work with them, and Deric was the electrician who returned to do the work. Again, he was on time, efficient, professional, explained all of the work that he did upon completion, and answered all questions we had. The company also had follow-up calls both times, to ask how their service was, and to see if we had any further questions. It has been well over a year since we had our service, and everything is working well. We were extremely pleased with Current Electric, and Deric, and will definitely use their company if we need further electrical service, and would ask for Deric, if possible. Thank you, Deric, and current electric!

Everything went very good. Dan was on time, and took his time explaining everything to me. Everything was cleaned up and the new lights look great. I have more electrical work to be done and I plan on calling on current electric to do the work.
Description of Work: I had a leak from the upstairs bathroom that was leaking through the kitchen lights downstairs. I talked to Dan the service tech about different options that I had. we agreed on taking out the old lights and wiring and putting in new recessed lights and dimmer switches. Dan also put in some new dimmer switches in the family room.

This was an Angie's list deal. Electrician was pleasant, straight-forward and competent. However, he was difficult to contact and arrived late. Though our understanding of the deal was that he would put in a certain amount of time, when we suggested various items that needed fixing, which we thought would fit into the time allotted, he quoted extra costs. We therefore stuck to outlets and switches. Almost seemed like bait and switch.
Description of Work: The electrician repaired and installed outlets and switches.

Initially contacted them and they responded that day. Initial quote was $800 because getting a ladder to the fixture would require building of a platform to access. Called them back and we discussed another idea. Dan dropped back and we discussed it and were able to get the price down to $300. Took about 2 hours and went very well. Very personable and professional.
