I WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE PUNCTUALITY OF THE ELECTRICIAN. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME THE NIGHT BEFORE IF HE WASN'T GOING TO BE ON TIME THE NEXT DAY. I DIDN'T GET A CALL UNTIL 7:30 THE NEXT MORNING STATING HE WAS GOING TO BE TWO HOURS LATE. HE MADE THIS CALL ON MY CELL PHONE, NOT HOME, SO I DIDN'T GET IT FOR AWHILE. THE WORK ORDERS WERE ALSO WRITTEN UP WRONG AND THEY WENT TO THE WRONG ADDRESS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SERVICE, THEREFORE SHOWING UP 45 MINUTES LATE. THEY ALSO LEFT DIRT ON THE STAIRS AND TONS OF GARBAGE IN OUR TRASH. I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE GARBAGE WITH THEM AND PICKED UP THE DIRT.

THE INDIVIDUALS AT CURRENT FIRST HELPED ME TO PROBLEM SOLVE MY ISSUE ON MY OWN BEFORE SENDING SOMEONE OUT. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SERVICE WAS NEEDED. THEY SCHEDULED THE JOB PROMPTLY AT A TIME OF MY CONVENIENCE. LEE CAME OUT, ARRIVED EARLY, WAS VERY PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL. HE DID A THOROUGH JOB AND ASSURED THAT EVERYTHING WAS WORKING WELL. I WOULD DEFINITELY CALL THEM FOR ANY ELECTRICAL WORK NEEDED.
Description of Work: I HAD A NEW LIGHT FIXTURE AND LIGHT SWITCH IN A REMODELED BATHROOM WHICH WERE NOT WORKING WHEN CONNECTED AFTER THE REMODEL. ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE FIXTURE AND SWITCH WERE CHECKED AND CORRECTED AS NEEDED TO INSURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY.

OUR ELECTRICIAN LEE B WAS THE BEST - VERY PROFESSIONAL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE - HE EXPLAINED PROBLEMS CLEARLY AND OFFERED A GOOD CHOICE OF SOLUTIONS - WE'LL REQUEST HIM AGAIN FOR FUTURE WORK. CURRENT ELECTRIC WAIVED THE NORMAL $45 SERVICE FEE AS PROMISED SINCE WE WERE AN ANGIE'S LIST MEMBER. OUR LABOR CHARGE WAS 3.25 HOURS @ $68/HOUR AND MATERIALS WERE $18.71 FOR (2) REG. SWITCHES / (1) OUTLET / (5) WIRE HATS. WE, THE CUSTOMER HAD ALREADY PURCHASED THE LIGHT FIXTURE FOR THE BEDROOM. IT WAS SO NICE TO DEAL WITH A COMPANY THAT TRULY TRIED TO HELP YOU TO YOUR BEST ADVANTAGE. VERY HONEST. WE DID HAVE TO RESCHEDULE OUR SECOND APPOINTMENT ONCE (DUE TO A JOB THEY NEEDED TO FINISH FROM THE DAY BEFORE) BUT THAT WAS OK. THEY LET US KNOW ASAP AND FOLLOWED THROUGH ON THE RESCHEDULE. THE ELECTRICIAN WAS ACTUALLY 10 MINUTES EARLY ON OUR FIRST VISIT. EXCELLENT JOB LEE B AND CURRENT ELECTRIC. THANK YOU!
Description of Work: 1) REPAIRED WIRING OF KITCHEN CEILING FIXTURE THAT WAS SHORTING OUT - WORKS PERFECT NOW 2) REPLACED BEDROOM CEILING LIGHT FIXTURE - INSTALLED WELL COSMETICALLY AND PHYSICALLY 3) INSTALLED GFI SOCKET IN BATHROOM ON 3 G BOX, COMBINED TWO LIGHTS, FAN LEFT SEPARATE AND GFI INSTALLED ON THIRD. ON A SUBSEQUENT VISIT, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REPLACE AN ENTIRE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BREAKER BOARD FOR ABOUT $1500, OUR ELECTRICIAN GAVE US THE INFO WE NEEDED TO FIND AND BUY A REFURBISHED VERSION OF THE ONE FAULTY 100 AMP MAIN BREAKER THAT WAS CAUSING OUR PROBLEMS. I FOUND THE PART FOR UNDER $90 AT HTTP://WWW.EDISONELECTRICALSURPLUS.COM AND OUR ELECTRICIAN WAS ABLE TO INSTALL IT AND TEST IT. HE WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IN SUGGESTING THAT WE AT LEAST TRY THIS REPAIR OPTION BECAUSE IT WORKED! WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH THE SERVICE WE RECEIVED. THANK YOU LEE B AND CURRENT ELECTRIC.

HE WAS VERY NICE! HE WAS VERY PATIENT AND TOOK HIS OWN TIME TO GO AROUND LOOKING FOR THE PART.
Description of Work: WE WERE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH OUR LIGHT FIXTURE IN THE KITCHEN. IT NEEDED A NEW SWITCH AND NEW SOCKETS. HE CAME AND CHECKED IT OUT TO SEE IF HE COULD GET IT REPLACED. HE COULDN'T FIND THE PARTS SO HE SUGGESTED THAT WE TAKE IT TO A SHOP WHERE THEY FIX LIGHT FIXTURES. SO, HE TOOK DOWN THE FIXTURE SO WE COULD TAKE IT IN. IT WAS FIXED AND HE CAME BACK TO RE-INSTALL IT.

ALTHOUGH THE WORK ENDED UP BEING MORE EXTENSIVE THAN I THOUGHT ORIGINALLY, LEE, KEPT ME UP TO DATE ON THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON. HE ARRANGED TO GIVE ME A 10% NEW CUSTOMER DISCOUNT, WHICH WAS VERY HELPFUL. THEY ALSO WAIVED THE $45 TRIP CHARGE BECAUSE IM AN ANGIES LIST MEMBER. THEY CLEANED UP NICELY!
Description of Work: WE HAD OUR BREAKER BOX DOUBLE TAPPED. WE ARE MOVING AND THE INSPECTOR SAID WE HAD TO FIX THAT. WE ENDED UP GETTING A WHOLE NEW BREAKER BOX.
