"Universal electric provided excellent service. First, they managed to track me down even though I had forgotten to update my cell phone number in Angie's List. I appreciate the fact that they took the effort to locate me and contact me to schedule service. The scheduling process was easy and they had people available to come do the work within 24 hours.
I was given an installation window of 8-10am, although I was told they had a meeting at 8am and would likely be there between 9-10am. They contacted me around 8:45 to tell me it would be closer to 9:30, and contacted me around 9:20 to tell me it would be closer to 10am. They did arrive around 10am. I appreciate the frequent updates on their arrival and they did arrive at the end of the quoted window. Just a minor . They were sensitive to the fact that I needed to get back to work and performed the job quickly and efficiently. The service providers were very clean, professional, nicely dressed, wore shoe covers inside the house, and were very easy to work with and knowledgeable. They even went out to get a drop cloth to make sure no insulation from the attic fell on my carpet when they inspected the attic wiring. They were absolutely the cleanest electrical service I have used in the area.
I did have to purchase an additional circuit breaker to have the surge suppressor installed. Their service manager warned me about this on the telephone when scheduling the service. I wish it had been bundled into the initial price but apparently it was something that not every installation required, so I can understand that. They took the time to give me quotes for additional work, and to explain how the surge suppressor works and that it would not protect certain older 2-wire circuits in my home. A very professional group that I would definitely use again. "

" , the owner, came promptly to give us an estimate and set a date to start the job within a few days. He and his brother were neat, courteous, and professional. We were especially impressed by the way they cleaned up after themselves after each task, a trait we've not seen often in electricians. They handled furniture with care when moving and replacing it. They did most of the job on one day but then had a three day wait before they could complete the job. They asked where they might store their materials and neatly put them out of the way so that we never noticed them during their absence. They took the time to explain what and why they were doing something when we asked and did a couple of minor tasks without charge.
We did not get multiple bids on this job. had been called by the installers of our new furnace and air conditioner to do the electrical work for that job. They highly recommended him for his thoroughness and quality of work. We might have gotten the job done for less but we were interested in quality of work and his charge was certainly within reason for the high level of his performance. we've already recommended him to others and would certainly call him again."

"I saw a discount for the home surge protect, so that is how I got involved with Universal Wiring. But I was aware of some bad wiring in my house (breakers tripping, etc) and an outlet that just did not work. with Universal showed up on time, reviewed my situation and provided written options and prices to fix it (I love options!). I chose from my options and the work was completed quickly and professionally, at a lower than initially estimated price :)
I have already recommended this company to a friend and will use them again if necessary."

"The whole procedure went perfectly. I have used and been totally satisfied with the work and costs. is very friendly and professional and would highly recommend him."

"I initially contacted Electric when I discovered that an exterior light fixture that I was replacing had no junction box. I contacted them on a Friday and they weren't able to get out that day, and I made it clear that there was no big rush, so an appointment for Monday was scheduled.
and his assistant arrived a little late Monday morning, but that was ok since I overslept that morning and was running behind. They were both professional and courteous, and as soon as they got here, they got right to work. advised that installing the junction box would mean that the light fixture wouldn't sit exactly flush with the wall but I let him know that I was fine with that - safety first.
While worked, I talked to him about the electrical issues raised in the inspection report done three years ago when I bought the house. While I pulled up the inspection report on the computer, he walked around back to inspect my meter box and ground rod. He was back within a couple of minutes and reported that my ground rod wasn't even hooked up (grounded), and in fact, had rusted so badly that it was broken off at about the 2 foot (I believe said that a ground rod should be at least 8 feet long to be up to code.) The poor condition of the ground rod was mentioned in the report (although he hadn't seen it yet); in fact, he observed and reported on everything that was mentioned in the report by our inspector. advised me that if my house were to be hit by lightning while it wasn't grounded, I had a very good of losing every electrical gadget and appliance that was plugged in, so I went ahead and authorized them to install a new ground rod and hook it up.
After read the inspection report and took a look at the issues, he put in a call to the owner , then he and installed a new 10 ft. ground rod. arrived within 10 minutes to perform another inspection so that he could give me an estimate for the work that needed to be done. I had contacted a highly rated electrician from Angie's List when I first received my inspection report; his estimate was around $5000. To do the same work, quoted me just under $2000, although he advised me that about $1800 of that wasn't necessary but more of a personal preference (upgrading my breaker box from 125 amps to 200 amps.)
In summary, I was very impressed with the entire team's thoroughness, knowledge, and professionalism. I really appreciated the way they went over the entire report and advised which changes should be made due to safety or performance issues, and which changes wouldn't impact safety or performance and were therefore unnecessary. I also very much appreciated that they didn't try to pressure me to get the non-urgent additional repairs done that day and understood that I needed to budget for them.
I will definitely be calling them back to perform the additional repairs!

" and his associates have always been prompt, courteous and extremely capable with their electrical work. In addition, they are always conscientious enough to clean up any mess that was made. We will use them again."

"Definitely professional and stood behind there work went the door bell stopped working 2 weeks after they originally fixed it and fixed it again fro not charge. HOWEVER, their prices are outlandish!!! They charged me $700 to install 2 . Seriously! They gave me a bunch of excuses about how I lived in an old house and they had to ground the wires leading to the which was more work, etc. I had another licensed electrician come to my house and install another for $150. He laughed when I told him how much Universal charged me and told me that they ripped me off. I even asked the other electrician about the process he used to ensure that that the wires were grounded, and he assured me that there is only one way to installed a that is up-to-code and grounded and it doesn't cost $350 per to do that. I won't use Universal again, and I tell everyone never to call them because their rates are practically theft."

"Very punctual from start to finish and did a few other things that noticed needed attention without hesitation. A very good experience."

"One day our cooktop failed with a flash. I called GE Repair, they showed up a few days later. Repairman checked out the , found no fault, said the problem was in the electrical feed to the unit. I found Ent. on Angie's List, called, and they came right over. They tracked the problem to the circuit breaker, replaced it with a newer, better one. Problem solved."
