They responded quickly for an estimate. The work was not an easy installation because of the age of the house, and they had never worked with this device before. It was recommended as part of a Focus on Energy program to give enough air flow to the house after insulation, etc. They did a great job. It works as it should. They were very professional and were done quickly after the estimate. The electrical inspector from the village of Whitefish Bay was very familiar with the company and confirmed their excellent work. The electrical permit was an added expense, but we were told about that.
Description of Work: They installed a continuous run bath fan/light and control device.

Diedrich workers showed up exactly when they said they would (3 times). Work was done quickly, just as described and for exactly the amount estimated. They were particularly helpful in explaining the process for installing and wiring the hood.
Description of Work: Diedrich installed a number of new lights and outlets in the basement, replaced some faulty outlets and wired a new range hood in the kitchen (where there was no hood or fan before).

My initial call to Diedrich Electric was for finding out why my overhead fan and dining room lights as well as one outlet were no longer functioning. The electrician quickly isolated that problem as being a short in my kitchen overhead. That kitchen light fixture was working but evidently the wiring was in series. There was a broken wire that shorted out the other fixtures. At my request the electrician removed my old dining room fixture and proceeded to install a fan bracket with no damage to the plastered ceiling while I dashed out and purchased a fan. He then installed the fan. All the work was done in a very competent and professional manner. The electrician was very cordial. I won't hesitate to call them again for further work. He arrived at precisely the promised time. I am very pleased.
Description of Work: Locate and repair problem with overhead fan in living room and lights in dining room and replace seven outlets. Install ceiling fan bracket and a new ceiling fan in dining room.

I called Diedrich one day, and they scheduled me about 2 weeks out. The very next day, they called me and said they had an opening, and 15 minutes later, were at my door. After half an hour rummaging around my attic, they were done, and everything works great.
Description of Work: My handyman installed an electric attic fan, and I called Diedrich to get juice to the fan.

Bill came out and did a detailed estimate covering several possible projects. We opted for two of the easier ones now with the rest to follow in future. Greg arrived to do the work within 15 minutes of stated time. He worked neatly, quickly and understood the quirks of older houses. The whole thing took about an hour and a half. Hourly rate is $5 more than that posted on Angie's list and they round up to the next hour for a partial hour worked. These projects were billed on a time/materials basis as we had agreed.
Description of Work: Greg repaired a splice for an outlet and light on our back porch and grounded the box. He also replaced an old 2-prong outlet in a home office with a three-prong and grounded it.

It went very well. Wayne was great to work with and fit into the wacky household happenings (dogs, cats, kids) really well. The work was performed as promised and completed within one week.
Description of Work: I had a two page list of items to be addressed by the electrician. They included checking the existing outlets and converting them to grounded outlets, adding three outlets to a room with no electricity, adding three closet lights, adding various outlets to other rooms in the house, adding canned lights to the family room on the second floor, checking installation of existing ceiling fans and lights that were installed by me, adding an electrical outlet to the outside of the house, and adding one motion detector light to the garage.

The serviceman who came out was very competent. He was polite. And he did everything we asked him to do, even coming up with some creative solutions along the way. To top it all off, the price was significantly lower than other estimates. I would use them again.
Description of Work: They dropped outlets outside & did grounding & wiring inside & out.

Very good experience. Mr. Diedrich and Son are very well established electricians in the Milwaukee North Shore area. I have used them on electrical jobs for many years and hope to continue doing so.
Description of Work: Excellent work. He switched the position old dimmer and sway switch in the stair way. He put in a new plate and changed dimmer in breakfast nook and changed outlet in second floor bedroom. He also checked for power above kitchen sink.

I was called back promptly by the polite company representative after she discussed my job description with one or more of her electricians. I was told that my job was ''not economically feasible'' becasue an electrician would have to travel too far for too small of a job. Of note, another electrician gave an estimate of $795 for this same job and the distance between Diedrich Electric in Shorewood and my home in Cedarburg is 21 miles by Mapquest. I think Angie's List members should know that this company seems only willing to serve a very small service area, even for what I would consider a medium sized job (based on my previous price estimate). I guess business must be very good for this company for them to so readily turn down job offers.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate on placing a third outdoor flood light on the rear of our home and integrating it with the switch for two existing flood lights. This third light would be installed on the back of a gazebo that is powered with other lights but detached from the main house structure.

Our owner/father/husband was battling cancer at the time. We politely declined the work to limit our travels at the time for good reason. We do serve the greater metro Milwaukee area Please feel free to try us in the future

Very Positive. They were willing to use the conduit run that I installed before their arrival, even discussing the sizing with me over the phone. For the installation, Billy the technician was thorough and professional and allowed me to observe his work. There was a slight billing mistake, but it was cheerfully rectified.
Description of Work: Installed 40A, 240V circuit and 120 V branch circuit.

I talked with Billy and got a rough estimate over the phone. They were flexible and recommended a time and materials billing rather than a flat fee for the project. They were able to start within a few days and got the work done on schedule. They arrived when promised. I was given the electrician's cell number and was able to call with follow up questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an electrician in Milwaukee.
Description of Work: Replaced some standard outlets with GFI, new dryer outlet, hung a ceiling fan and light fixture and some other misc. work.

I CALLED AND I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY COULD GET TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND I ASKED IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY NEIGHBORHOOD. SHE SAID NO, THEY JUST NORMALLY WORK IN THE NORTH SHORE AREA. THE NORTH SHORE AREA IS AN ELITIST AREA, BUT NO FARTHER FROM WHERE THEY ARE THAN I AM. SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO CHECK BUT THAT'S WHAT SHE THOUGHT COULD BE A PROBLEM. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER SHE CALLED BACK AND SAID THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO COME AND THAT THEY DON'T WORK IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
