They did a good job overall. They made a few good suggested additions to the originally requested work when they came to do the estimate. They completed the work very quickly, but with good quality. The price was a little high, but in the end they did the work well. My only negative comment would be that the estimate was not free.
Description of Work: They installed two outlets, one fan box, a telephone jack, and an outdoor light. They also installed switches for the outdoor light and fan. All items except the telephone jack were in one room, and all installation points were open (not covered by finish materials), except for the exterior light.

Jerry did a terrific job. The quality was excellent and Jerry was careful to make the least amount of mess and disturbance. This was especially important since the attic floor/bedroom ceilings had been filled with cellulose insulation. This could have been all over the place when the old boxes were removed and the new boxes installed.
Description of Work: Jerry, the electrician, removed old ceiling fixtures and installed ceiling fans with lights in three second floor bedrooms. We have an old house (built in 1923) and Jerry needed to remove the old boxes, install new safety boxes between the bedroom ceilings and an attic with a floor, and replace some old wiring with damaged insulation.

We made an appointment for an estimate and were told that we could have the work done the same day if we approved the estimate. Rick was running late for our appointment and called to let us know his status. He walked through the work with us, gave a very thorough estimate and completed the work the same day. He was very helpful in explaining the work and walked us through the final product. He was also very tidy. Overall, a very good experience.
Description of Work: Rick moved an electrical box in our bathroom to accommodate a new light fixture, expanded capacity in our electrical box (tandem breakers), installed two pole breakers and replaced a faulty GFCI. Rick also reviewed our house for overall electrical suggestions as we recently purchased a very old home (1915) and made suggestions for future upgrades.

Paul did a great job! He was super friendly and explained everything he would be doing. He gave us the estimate right away and even taught my husband how to change the outlets so we do not have to call him up and spend more money. It actually came in handy the next day when we found one more outlet that didn't work. Current Electric is a great company to work with and I would use them again in a minute. We have actually referred them to 2 more people already.
Description of Work: Paul rewired some of our basement to end up in 2 separate circuits. He also changed 5 outlets and 2 wall lights above a fireplace.

It went well. They called before they were coming with an approximate time and called afterwards to check that everything was okay.
Description of Work: I lost half the power to my house. They replaced a bad circuit breaker and diagnosed the rest of the electrical problem to be with the electric company. They called the electric company and had them out within the hour to fix the wire from the pole to the house.

Holy cow! We called at 11:00 am, on a very hot day when I'm sure lots of people had problems...so we didn't expect very quick service. But Current sent us Paul by 11:30 am, and by 12:15 he was done. We were amazed at how hard he worked to quickly diagnose and fix the problem, and he was friendly and helpful...even my two-year-old thought he was cool, and she doesn't like strangers. We were thrilled to have the problem fixed so quickly, and even more thrilled by the friendly service. Great job!
Description of Work: We had lost power for the entire upstairs-circuit was tripped and couldn't be reset. There was a short in the wire.

Byron immediately detected the problem, and assisted with adding a remote dimmer control to the existing ceiling light/fan. He was on time, pleasant, neat, and, according to my husband, very knowledgeable.

It went well. The electrician (Jim) called at 7:10 to tell me he'd be a few minutes late (I appreciated the call!) and showed up less than 10 minutes after 7:30 am. Worked quickly and efficiently so I was able to get to work. Also gave an estimate for future work to be done.
Description of Work: Replaced a burned out socket in bedroom. Took out the ceiling fixture and dimmer in the dining room and capped them off. Checked out the exhaust fan in the bathroom. He did the estimate on site and I accepted.

Excellent. The switch on the light we use most often in the house, the kitchen, was not working. They were able to come the same day I called, replaced that switch, and also two others that were starting to act up. The electrician was courteous, professional, and kept his work area clean.
Description of Work: Replaced three light switches in our home.

Despite a few unexpected delays, which took about 2 weeks longer to install the re-built fan, the overall process was fine. The company kept in touch with updates on the progress, and when it was finally fixed, it took only about 15 minutes to install it. They even gave us a new wall switch (to replace the old one) free, because of the delays, in addition to the Angie's List service call discount.
Description of Work: Actually, this was a through-the-wall kitchen ventilation fan. Our 55 year-old fan died. Byron, the electrician, suggested 2 options. We went with the 1st, which was to order a new fan for them to install; but since the model had changed dimensions, that didn't work. So we went with the 2nd option which was for them to take the motor out, have it rebuilt, then re-installed. That turned out to be less expensive, and it worked!

Received estimate to get a new outlet for an electrical stove. My interaction with both the scheduler and electrician were positive. They were pleasant and professional. Electrician was about an hour late for appointment, no one called to let me know, I had to call Current. Didn't end up getting work done because I thought it was too expensive. Didn't get any other estimates so not sure how their prices compare with other local companies.
Description of Work: New 220V 50A electrical outlet for electrical stove, would require tandem breaker for space needed in fuse box.

Rick the journey man electrician was fantastic cleaned up inside and out. Explained the system and how it worked. It rained that day so he came back to make sure that everything was working completed. The one thing I liked about him was that he offered plenty of options for me to choose from. Rick was very professional.

While not a very ''taxing'' job, the electrician was very competent and courteous. He arrived on time and he had the office staff send a fax of the lien waiver that our buyers required. They sent the lien waiver that morning which was super service. After the city inspector came and inspected the work we found that the patio GFCI had failed in the two days between the inspection work by Current Electric and the inspection by the city. It was not the fault of Current Electric, but they sent out the electrician again, within an hour after my call and he replaced the GFCI at no cost. I am building a new house and I am the general contractor and I wish I had called Current to wire my new house. THEY ARE THE BEST CONTRACTOR I HAVE USED SO FAR!
Description of Work: We had an unlicensed electrician change out GFCI breakers per a request from the people that were purchasing our home. We didn't know that he was unlicensed until after the work was done. The offer to purchase specifically stated that we needed a licensed electrician to do the work. We called Current Electric and they sent out a licensed electrician to inspect the work done by the unlicensed electrician.

Was very pleased he replaced outlets and works, as I felt I would have no more problems seeing as how new outlets and cord where put in and not just apart replaced. Told me the proper way to move stove to clean behind.
Description of Work: I pulled my stove away from the wall to clean behind it and the outlets shorted and blew the electricity for the whole house. I called Current and they came in 20 minutes. fixed what they thought was wrong and turned electric back on for the house.

They have changed from an hourly fee to a job fee. There prices have also gone up from $64 to $84 an hour which does not include the service fee. The job only took a half an hour and I was charged $150 which includes a $15 service charge. When I used them 2 years ago I had them come out for a half an hours work and was only charged $68. That included everything. Their field was excellent and do high quality work.

It was an incredibly simple job but it was $450 and that was after an Angie's List coupon! I had planned for them to much more but when I saw the prices, I did only what I needed done and then just did the rest myself. I also got an estimate for a whole house electrical upgrade and it was about double what I got from other electricians.
