He put in some circuits for the new lighting in the kitchen.

It was very good. They new what they were doing and they did it in a clean and neat manner. They worked really well.

Review: Electrician Service

Installed some under cabinet lighting in the kitchen, we then had him look at an overhead light in the living room which the previous owners had capped off.

They have been here a couple times, I'm not all that enamored with them. I don't know if it's the company or it's the person that they send to me. He wasn't a very good problem solver. If it wasn't obvious then it wasn't within his realm. He said that there was nothing he could do with that without ripping out the whole ceiling and that surprised me because I thought electricians could run wires. They were relatively responsive.

Power went off in bathroom during installation of new medicine cabinet. My husband hit a wire hidden behind a piece of metal.

When I called to schedule, the woman in the office said they didn't have a minimum charge, but that they would assess the problem and give me a price and I could choose not to get the work done if it was unacceptable. However, when they arrived I was told they had a minimum $145 fee just to show up, so I definitely felt I had been misled. In addition to that, the problem was "cosmetic" to use their term, and all they did was flip the circuit breaker back on and tape a small slash in the wire (that my husband said later wasn't even where he had hit the wire!) They also reversed two plugs and left the plaster mess on the counter. Couldn't have been here 1/2 hour.

We do not have a service call fee, travel fee, or an hourly fee. We try to quote everything before starting any work once we get to the home. The $145.00 is the minimum repair/service fee which was quoted when we got there. If the minimum service and repair fee was not acceptable at that point, there would not have been a charge. We took out 2 receptacles and reinstalled them the correct way. We checked the wiring, taped up the nick that we saw (maybe there were more than one nick), and reset the breaker. This was done for $145.00 which is the minimum repair/service fee. We apologize for the confusion and that our electrician misstated what the minimum service and repair fee was for. However, we did perform a small service and the minimum repair/service fee was properly quoted beforehand.

Repaired the damage to an electrical wire that was nicked during some repair around the house.

They did a good job and was prompt.

I needed a very old and heavy (and ugly) foyer light pendant swapped for a new one that is on a 20 foot ceiling. I also need help with an outlet.

The guys were prompt, friendly, and professional. They also took the time to share some tips with me on how to save money on my electric bill. I followed their instructions and it worked! Also, they are priced very reasonable. They charge $280ish for the foyer light. I received estimates up to $650 for that same job! 5+++ stars out of 5!

Out of the blue, my 1st-floor lights and living room outlets stopped working.

I was pleasantly surprised to get a real person (a receptionist) on the phone when I called. She made sure to look up whether any electricians were available for same-day service before taking my info. Two guys were fortunately able to come over within a couple of hours. They immediately put booties on over their shoes when coming in, which I appreciated immensely. And they walked me through prices/options before starting work: based on the issue, they offered single-circuit repair work for a flat fee. They were very courteous and professional, and took the time to explain what was going on - as a single woman, I'm wary of male contractors being condescending, but they were very approachable and easily answered my questions. I'll gladly call them again should any future issues arise.

We had issues with a master bedroom ceiling fan and our foyer chandelier that we needed to be addressed. We weren't entirely certain what was going on with the ceiling fan, but we knew it was electrical in nature.

The experience was fantastic from start to finish. I submitted a request for service online, and within the 48 hours that was indicated, I received a call back from their scheduler. He was knowledgeable and gave me advice with how to proceed especially with the ceiling fan. We scheduled an appointment two and a half weeks after the initial inquiry due to our schedule. They would have been available sooner. When the electricians arrived on time, they assessed the chandelier and ceiling fan issues and gave me a thorough explanation of what they were going to do and how the costs covered their work. They cleaned up and finished within an hour and a half. They were friendly and professional.

Re wire the kitchen outlets to put them up to present codes.

They did a great job. The only problem was that they broke the connection of the exhaust fan and could not fix it.

Several small electrical issues in our home - blinking LED lights mainly.

Joe came twice for the same issue - didn't address it properly the first time. Came back, charged us again, to correctly ascertain the problem. Said he would follow up with an estimate to do the work, and never has.

At King Electric we pride ourselves in doing what is right for our clients. Here is a description of how the job took place. On Fri 1/27/17 We arrived at the client's home on and called before our arrival. Upon arrival, the homeowner walked us through 3 separate issues. First, was concerning the range hood. We explained to the homeowner that we do not repair appliances, but we could check the connections to the hood to make sure it was receiving the correct voltage. The second issue was concerning the lack of lighting in the garage, and the third issue was the master bedroom/closet/bathroom lighting. Once we went over the issues we informed the client that we have a minimum service and repair fee of $145.00. Which the client authorized to investigate those items. First, we repaired the connections, and socket for the range hood, and informed the client which type of bulb the unit requires. The LED bulbs the client installed we not compatible. Second, we diagnosed the issue with the garage lighting was due to the old Knob & Tube/ BX wiring being disconnected. We informed the client new MC wiring and fixtures would need to be installed to correct the issue. The client asked us for a proposal outlining the work needed. We emailed a proposal on 2/1/17, and the client responded back declining the work. Third, concerning the lights in the master bedroom area. We explained to the client that the lights were on multiple switches and that because they are LED lights, either the dimmers or the LED fixtures were not compatible. The client informed us that they would try a different bulb and let us know, but did not want us to proceed any further. King Electric collected the payment for service provided which involved 2 electricians for 1.5 hours. After receiving an email that the issues were not resolved, we made a return trip. On Fri 2/10/17, We arrived a the clients home on time and called before we came. Upon arrival, the homeowner walked us through 2 issues they still were having. First, the range hood was not working again. The client had put in different bulbs and they did not work. We inspected the situation and found that one of the bulbs was not screwed in all the way, and the other was bad. We informed the client and told them there was no charge for this. The second issue was concerning the master bedroom/closet/bathroom lighting again. The client had tried different bulbs and it did not resolve the issue. The client then asked us to replace the switch to one of them. We explained that this would not resolve the issue, and would have to charge her another minimum service and repair fee if we supply and install it. They insisted and authorized the work. We replaced the switch, checked all the connections and found that the issue was not related to the dimmers. We opened the fixtures and found hazardous wiring conditions due to the illegal wiring from a previous electrician. We showed them the incompatible drivers (for the led lights), open wiring, buried junctions, and illegal LED trim piece (no housing). We explained the dangers involved and the client requested another proposal to complete resolve the issue. We collected the minimum service and repair fee which again involved 2 electricians, 1 hour of time, and materials. We emailed the client a proposal on 2/10/17 outlining the work required to the correct the hazardous wiring/lights, in which we received no response.
