I am very satisfied with the electrician and the completed job. I was surprised when he vacuumed up the dust and plaster. His quote was the amount of the bill.

Installed a double oven, Lee was very nice and professional. He even fixed the electrical box behind the oven at no charge. Also installed the electrical for a new laundry room. They were a little higher in cost than other electricians in the area but well worth it. Service was great and they even cleaned up afterwards. I will use them again.

The technician came on-time or early and asked me about my issue -- something had shorted out. He promptly went through various trouble-shooting and detection steps and was able to isolate the issue and safely disable the shorted line. He gave me some options and quoted some others that I wanted more information on. It was a very enjoyable experience.
Description of Work: They came and diagnosed an electrical issue and fixed it and even went beyond what I thought by replacing a different faulty switch they found. They also gave me an estimate for additional work that I inquired about.

Current electric did a great job, very nice and neat. Current's electrician had to dig a trench with a trencher machine and run wiring on the outside of the house, in the ground, and out to the hot tub. When they were finished with the hot tub electical "hook up", they neated everything up. Filled and evened out the trench, installed an outdoor outlet and a circuit breaker panel. Just a real nice job, my brother and I are quite pleased.
Description of Work: My brother bought a hot tub for the backyard of his house and he needed an electician to wire it. Current electric did a fantastic job, they had to trench from the house out to the hot tub, approx. 25 feet and run wiring. They installed an outdoor circuit breaker panel, an outlet and wiring to the hot tub. My brother showed me all work that Current did, he was pleased.

We were anxious to get some final things fixed up during our home remodel and wanted a microwave installed over the new range. Our service man was friendly and right on time that morning. He was honest with estimated time and price and gave an opinion on a last minute light we had him install. We felt comfortable having him in our home and working in various areas of the house.

Current Electric was on the job site at the time agreed upon. The representative was friendly, professional and direct in his communication. We discussed the work that was needed and I felt comfortable leaving to return to work upon communicating with the electrician. We discussed other work (installing a ceiling fan/light in a bedroom) but because I had purchased an Angie's List deal which did not cover the aforementioned installation, the charge would have been about $400 so I decided not to have that work done. In any case, the Current Electric electrician went about his work and I returned to my job. That evening, I returned to our vacated home and found all of the lights installed, no remnants that we had had work done and a clean floor!
Description of Work: My husband and I were getting the home we moved from ready to put on the market. We needed 4 lighting fixtures replaced - 1 outdoor light over the front door, 1 dining room chandelier, 2 sconce lights on either side of the mirror in the upstairs full bath.

Jim from Current Electric did great work! He was pleasant to work with and explained what needed to be done at the beginning of his job, walking around the house and looking at what needed to be done. He went through the costs and estimates of what he could get done in one day (we had him come back a second time for the cable running). Everything was cleaned up when he was finished, and he helped move the furniture that needed to be moved back into place. We also paid for the drywall to be patched where access holes had to be made. Overall a great experience and we will be going back if we need anything else.
Description of Work: Replaced a ceiling fan and the box holding up the fixture in our kitchen (that was put in wrong originally, the fixture was moving!), ran cables for tv in 3 rooms.

Assisted with picking up needed parts. Noticed when work was done, wires were exposed from one light box in the bathroom, another light box did not have plate covering wires. Work was done for commercial building under their name, residential work was done under building owners name. Had honored only one of 2 Big Deal purchases. Surprized by remaining balance and the amount charged for this visit.
Description of Work: Trouble shoot doorbell, replaced unit as requested and found source of a short in the front door. Replacement of new transformer while trouble shooting had overheated. changed out circuit brakers, between residential and commercial panels. Installed 2 outlets, light switch with box for light in bathroom.

Current Electric has some of the nicest people working for them. Extremely friendly and accommodating. They installed my new range hood quickly and efficiently. From their home office to their employees in the field, they were just wonderful. I will definitely call them again.

After 2 hours of digging around and not hardly getting his hands dirty, the technician left me with a $200 bill and an apology for not being able to figure out what to do. We hired a different company the following day, and after about an hour, their technician had it fixed like new. Yes, he did get his hands dirty, and he also only charged about half the price. I will not be using them again.
Description of Work: Our older house had a short in our kitchen. We elected to have Current Electric Co. repair the short.

The electrician was very professional. I let him know what services we wanted done. He wrote out a detailed estimate. Since he was already doing some work, all extras were discounted. We supplied all of the fixtures except he provided a new chime for the doorbell. He cleaned up after all the work and even vacuumed in the hallway. I had had shoulder surgery done 2 weeks earlier, and he didn't want me to possibly hurt my shoulder with the vacuum. I would definitely call them again for any electrical work we needed to have done.
Description of Work: Wiring was checked above a light fixture that had shorted out twice due to water leakage from the chimney. Light fixture was replaced. Multiple light switches were replaced. New doorbell installed. Ceiling light socket in the basemant replaced.

Dan was on time to check the ceiling fan that I installed. He gave me an "A" for effort and an "F" for the connection. I am so glad that I called them! Dan explained what he was doing though the process and he was a complete professional . Current charges by the job and not at an hourly rate which I appreciated too. I ended up buying a service plan for a future discount which I plan on using for additional work at my home. I will definately call them for all my electrical needs and II will be a customer for a long, long time.

The experience is described above.
Description of Work: Current Electric installed a remote control type electronic light switch in our basement stairway. Due to the existing construction of our stairway area there was no other economic way to add light in the stairway. The electrician suggested the remote switch option and I agreed that that was the best way to go. He did an excellent job on the project and was very friendly and informative. I felt that the price was very fair. I would certainly contact Current Electric for any future electrical problems. Don Lura Racine,Wi

Maybe my ignorance. I didn't think it should cost that much to replace a bathroom fan.
Description of Work: The electrician installed a Panasonic bathroom fan. The work was fine. We signed a waiver to not vent the fan out to the roof. That would have been an additional $200.00, which I believe is too much. I just had someone come a few days ago who took the tubing out and put in insulated tubing and vented it out the roof. The total cost was $100.00. My only concern is the cost.

Current arrived on time and did a great job. We had a dead outlet in one of the rooms in our church and the electrical line had to be carried over from another line due to a building issue. The outlet now works well. I have used Current's services before and was always satisfied with their work.

Great! As a new home owner I appreciate all the help they were able to give me and didn't nickel and dime me
Description of Work: I recently bought a house and for some reason the lights in the garage were effecting one in the living room. Someone came out and he was great. He fixed the problem and I had a question about something not being up to code and he told me a quick and easy fix that I could do instead of hiring someone, along with that he also answered a couple other questions I had without charging me for them.
