I hired M-Tech to install a 240v circuit from the panel to my garage. I'm extremely pleased with the results.
I recently bought an electrical vehicle, and wanted to upgrade from the 120v charger that it came with to something more powerful. I found myself starting to use the charging stations more often than I'd like, so I decided that it was worth it to install a level 2 EV charger at home. I had a few options, and I decided to future-proof my setup by running 6 gauge wiring, and for ease of installation i wanted a 50 amp breaker and 14-50 outlet for plug and play options. I then decided on a Grizzl-E 40 amp charger and had one shipped.
I had prior work done, but the electrician had moved out of town. He referred me to his old boss, but the guy didn't respond to my message for a couple days, flaked the first time he was supposed to come by and give me an estimate, and then after he did come, he seemed hesitant, said he'd have to run numbers before he could give me a price, and then ghosted me. BTW that was David with Ion Electric. On the bright side, he was able to tell me about how much wiring I'd need, and how/where he would run it, so i went to Yelp.
Obviously I searched for electricians, and focused on reviews with experience in running 240v wiring. I sent detailed messages to a few of them and asked for ballpark figures based on the info i gave them. My first choice just wanted me to call them, and ignored my other messages. No thanks. A couple others were able to give me numbers, so I had a rough idea of what it would cost. Of them, M-Tech seemed like the most reasonable and offered to come by right away to see the project and confirm the estimate. I met Mr. Yoo, he confirmed the measurements, I asked him about adding a ceiling fan, we made an agreement, and scheduled the work.
Mr. Y arrived early with another gentleman and they got right to work. They ran all the conduits through the attic and my garage, installed the breakers and connected the wiring, put in my new ceiling fan, and even mounted my EV charger and confirmed everything was in proper working order. Mr. Y said that I would have to patch a couple of holes in the drywall for the fan, but he was careful with his cutting and was able to reattach the original squares he cut out, so all that was left for me I to do is tape over the cuts, putty over it, and repaint. He and his other worker were even kind enough to install a remote for the ceiling fan AFTER they had already finished installing it, because He recommended that I get one and I forgot I already bought it!
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to call him back should the need arise. M-Tech went above and beyond my expectations and was extremely prompt in responding to calls/messages and showing up on time, which seems to be a rarity for a lot of contractors these days. Thank you for the excellent work!
