It went as I had hoped for after talking with the owner the day prior. I had e-mailed him photos of the issues to know ahead of time what to expect and to have a ballpark estimate via e-mail.
Description of Work: I had purchased a Big Deal for use in my business (I'm a Realtor), as minor electrical repairs often come up on home inspections. I had them repair some minor double tapped wires in the electrical panel, correct inproper Romex going to a garbage disposal, and inspect an outlet the home inspector noted as a saftely hazard. Jon was prompt, wrote up the report as needed, and was able to do the work in a timely manner and the Big Deal purchase covered the entire work completed. I would definitely call them again and recommend them to clients that need electrical service.

Went well and all is working well today six months later. I bought better fans since the installation isn't cheap. Calling them back in a couple of years to replace a cheap fan was not an option.
Description of Work: The serviceman showed up on time, looked at the requested work to be done, prepared a quote and completed all the same day. He replaced 3 fans with light kits and installed 2 new fans with light kits in ceilings that had drywall opened to accept fans and added the switches to existing electrical. It was a days work. He was pleasant, easy to talk to and answered all questions. He left the five worksites clean and fans operating well. I am having them quote an installation of two more fans at another residence where the ceilings have to be opened.

Great. He called ahead of time, (even early) and introduced himself. when he came in the house he put shoecovers on! All areas were cleaned up after he was done. You would not have known he was here except that everything worked!!! I have more work planned down the road
Description of Work: I had bought a deal online ($200 for $99).So I had a list of small things. I had 3 electrical outlets that needed fixing. I had a wall light fixture removed. An outside motion detector light needed remounting. All of these issues taken care of in about 2 hours. This work had been completed by a handyman and they were incorrectly installed.

Overall the service received was great.
Description of Work: We purchased the "Big Deal" for whole home electrical inspection and surge protection. Jim was excellent with pointing out pluses of our home and potential for improvements. Gave us a peace of mind knowing where our home stands in regards to the current codes. We also purchased $99 for $200 worth of electrical work with Jim being our electrician again. We had not only one but 2 great experiences.

I reached out to the team at Current Electric last June to have some electrical work I needed done. The team at Current was able to fix some power issues that we were having in our home. The guys at Current was able to fix the issue in a very short time. I would use the team at Current Electric again in the future.

I recieved a call within a day of contacting Angie's list and they were out there to perform the job the next day agreeing to meet my renter and called me with an estimate. I had a coupon from Angie's list I could use and they worked with me on getting them the code needed for the discount even though I wasn't on site. I was going to give them a B for price as I thought the quote was high for the work needed, but with the discount I felt it was reasonable so gave them an A. I would definitely use them again.

Electrician called to to tell me his approximate arrival time. He was prompt, quick and efficient. He was friendly and cleaned up after himself. Very professional. He answered all my questions and gave me some good tips. Current also called me a couple days later to followup. They asked me if there were any problems with the completed work and if I was satisfied with their service. Obviously, this is a company that cares about the work they do. I would definitely use this company again! Thank you Current.

I usually wait until the last minute to schedule work done, and am usually disappointed that I have to wait for the service. It was wonderful that Current could come out the week I called and completed the work the same day that they provided the service. Thank you.
Description of Work: Current Electric corrected the wiring to the overhead light in the garage, and installed an electronic keypad for the garage. They also provided an estimate for future work that we may need. Deric was easy to work with and he helped us save some money by providing answers for a easy project that we could complete on our own.

We have 14 foot ceilings, and the can lights that we had were not lighting the artwork we bought. We had 2 overhead cans moved and 2 others replaced with smaller, more direct lighting for specific artwork highlighting. Dimmers were also installed. this involved specialized cans and bulbs and bulb openings and dozens of trips through the attic crawl space in 95 degree heat, as well as the knowledge and expertise of their master electrician Nathan. All this was done with a smile, and can-do attitude. several different angle bulbs needed to be tried, and Nathan had to come back one night when it was dark to adjust the lights to be sure that they were directly covering the area they were supposed to. He will come back when we have the second piece of art delivered to adjust those lights at no charge as well. this was a complicated job, and Nathan was terrific. his work was top notch, he cleaned up every speck of dirt and drywall dust, and left with a smile on his face. We will continue to call on Current Electric in the future

They did a good job. He found a lot to do. He found so much to upgrade that we discussed what was priority and was not. He sent me a nice letter that had a breakdown on priority and not priority. The top priority was a exhaust fan in the upstairs bathroom which would be $595 which I will have done in the spring. Next would be installation of new smoke detectors, one outside the bedroom and the other in the basement which will be a combo electrical carbon monoxide detector which would be a total of $185.00. He had additional non so much priority jobs listed as well. I was really glad that Current Electric came in did an inspection of things that were to be prioritized and did a breakdown for us which we really appreciated. I am not an electrician and glad the he wrote all this information down for us in hard copy form so that we have the numbers listed right in front of us to help make the decisions.

Bob is a very congenial guy. He showed me his rate book and said it was all standard cost. He also quoted prices for two ceiling fans I needed installed. I felt the prices were pretty steep, but I needed to have that exhaust fan installed before the end of the year, so I gave him the go ahead. He had a few issues with the installation where he needed to contact the company...fine with me! I'd much rather have him call with any questions rather than have it done incorrectly. He finished quickly and cleaned up. The energy star guy was here today and said it was installed correctly and that a lot of electricians install it incorrectly. I was most impressed with how quickly they fit me in. It's working well. Take advantage of their $99 coupon....it does help.

I had great experience with Current Electric; from the initial phone call to the service provided: -Same day service. -Prompt and very respectful of my time (on the phone I mentioned that I had to get back to work for a meeting and when the electrician arrived he was aware of my time limitations as well). -Quoted me a price which was discussed before any work started. -The electrician was prepared (no . . "I don't have this part with me, I need come back later.") -Excellent quality. I will definitely use Current Electric again and will recommend them to the our condo association.

It went great. I couldn't be happier with the outstanding service and expertise and overall job. I called Current Electric around 5:30 pm on Oct. 11 about an urgent need to repiar electrical service to our garage. (A different contractor was removing the concrete from our driveway and in the process, damaged the electrical supply -- the electrical work had not been done properly by some previous home owner -- the conduit wasn't buried deep enough beneath the ground and managed to get embedded in the concrete.) In any event, I had an urgent need for an electrician because the cement contractor was going to put the cement in our driveway in the afternoon of Oct. 12. Current Electric was able to get the repair done before the cement contractor arrived. I regularly use Current Electric. And I will continue to do so. It's a great company, with outstanding customer service and excellently skilled technicians.
Description of Work: The electrician did this: trenched and re-fed the existing 2-car garage under the driveway. Installed a new disconnect as required to turn power off to the garage. Installed conduit to run under future concrete and connect to the existing garage current. Also repaired an electrical outlet in the basement and made the area immediately surrounding it more secure/safe/stable.

Tree limb fell in our yard, taking the electric line down, and ripping the metal pole and wires off the house. The wires attached to the meters were fried &hanging off the wall, and we were out of power. The electric company restrung the line but said we'd need an electrician to replace the meters. We called 5 different electric companies that had listed 24 hour emergency service. Jim D. from Current Electric was the only one to respond. He estimated 90 min. arrival time, but made it in 60 min. He quickly assessed the damage. Gave us a quote, and got to work. He did a great job, even changing a bulb in our flood light while he was up the ladder. While talking with Jim, we discussed other work that needed to be done. He gave us quotes on future work and presented a partnership plan that would save us thousands in the future. We were very happy with him and the company
Description of Work: Electric meters had to be removed, wires and pole connecting house to electric line had to be removed and replaced. House had to be rewired to the electric line. We have a duplex meter, so work was longer and more complicated than a normal house.

The company was very professional. They scheduled the service for just a couple days after I called. Deric called to tell me he was on his way about 20 minutes before he arrived. He arrived on time. I showed him what needed to be done what else I would like to have done (if it was in my budget). He gave me the estimate and I asked him to do all the work including fixing another outlet that was lose. All the work got done very timely and everything was cleaned up well. I couldn't ask for anything more. I will use them again when I need and will recommend them to others.

I called the morning of 8/9 for an estimate on moving the existing junction box down one inch in preparation for some drywall work to be done. I needed this done as soon as possible as my drywaller was ready to go, but could not start until the junction box was moved. I was told Current was booked and would not be able to provide me an estimate until the morning of 8/15. A half hour after I scheduled the estimate, Current called back and said they had just had a cancellation and could fit me in within a half hour. (I am so appreciative!) Nathan arrived and provided clear direction on what he would be doing. Upon asking him how much it would be to wire and install a light switch in the kitchen, he suggested the wireless control which was half the price of hard wiring a switch in with no damage to the existing wall. (Well worth what I paid for it!) He also suggested a whole house surge protector installed in the basement near the main electrical box. I did not decide to purchase that at the time, but have since done research on it and will have Current come back to install it at a future date. I was pleased with the quality of work and professionalism.
Description of Work: Removed existing wiring for an old light fixture and installed a new fan rated junction box. Provided and installed wireless three-way control in the kitchen.

Description of Work: One outlet and two light fixtures in my old farmhouse stopped working. The electrictian, Deric, arrived on time, determined the source of the problem in a very short period of time and fixed the problem. He also installed a new outlet to replace the old outdated outlet that had stopped working in my bathroom. He was very professional and worked at a fast pace. I would highly recommend this company and I will use them again when needed.
