I needed to get some minor electrical work done. I reached out to American Electrical. Leigh was very helpful in learning what I needed and set.a price.
Installation day, ran into a snafu that was my fault. Leigh addressed it and got the crew to come out the same day.
Noah C. and Daniel B. Called and announced they were arriving. A quick conversation to confirm the work, and off they went. They knocked the job out and ensured the area was cleaned up.
Kudos all around to American Electrical. Definitely recommend for any future needs.

I am looking to put in a pool heater and I needed to add a circuit to handle it. I called and answered a couple questions and they were able to give me a rough estimate over the phone. I schedule the appointment and I was surprised they could come out on the next Monday. When they arrived they realized I didn't have room in my panel. My lights flicker when certain things would start, like the fridge, so I decided to upgrade the panel and scheduled the work. It turns out they could come back out two days later.
The new panel is in and looks extra clean. My lights no longer flicker and I'm ready for the pool heater.

Guys did a fine and timely job installing a Tesla wall charger, but we found that they are expensive and we're not great and overall clean up. Good customer service and responded quickly.
I would give 0 if I could. Worse customer service ever! Don't bother calling them to address an issue that started when they completed their work.
Noah and Brian were professional throughout the installation of our office ceiling fan, chandelier and foyer light fixtures. They even took the time to walk us through the ceiling fan remote. There were no hidden costs and everything was completed within a couple of hours. Would recommend American Electric to everyone.
Called American Electric on a Tuesday to add a couple of outdoor outlets and a switch in the garage. They had an opening on a Thursday which was very quick. 2 electricians came out and did a great job on the outdoor outlets that look great. Also figured out a way with a Bluetooth light switch for my garage that had a room located above without ceiling access. Would definitely use this company again.
Had a great experience with this company. Total house rewire done by two great guys. Had 1 other quote and they beat it by $1000. Would recommend

Kyle and Jesse came out and were done within an hour, even found an outlet which was wired wrong and fixed that. BZ
These guys first added a whole home surge protection in my prior home. Then we used them to install a Tesla charger. Then they did all the wiring for our new custom home and more Tesla chargers. They are the best electrical contractors in Jax bar none. I recommend them unequivocally for quality, professionalism, and service/reliability. You can't go wrong with these guys. Working with Justin is an absolute pleasure.
I had an electrical issue in my laundry room. There was a small issue after the first team came out. Spoke to the service manager. Second team came out and everything was repaired. Through it all, everyone I spoke to was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and customer oriented. The professionals that came out were neat, professional and friendly. It was a great experience. I will use them in the future. Their prices were fair with no hidden fees. I could not be more pleased. Thank you!

This company sent guys who had to watch a You Tube video to ground a gas stove. They needed copper wire & went to Lowes. When I got the final cost they charged me for thier trip to Lowes. They new what the job was before they came. After I had to challenge the trip to Lowes they deducted an hour off the bill. That should tell you something. And just for the record, a city inspector told me it's a 1/2 hour job to ground the stove. American tried to nail me for three! I'm a senior citizen...buyer beware.
I called to have my circuit panel replaced, and was immediately provided a quote and the repairmen were able to come out within a couple of days. Everyone I worked with was knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend this company! I worked with Ken, Kyle, and Brandon.
I have been trying to get an electrician over to my house for 2 weeks to replace some outside floodlight receptacles. American had previously installed a new garbage disposal, so I tried them. The first appointment was a no-show due to rain. There was no follow-up by the office to reschedule, and there was no record of my appointment when I called again. I got another appointment; again no-show even though the weather was favorable, and again, no follow-up by American. The problem seems to be administrative at the office, not the electricians. Regardless, this is unsatisfactory customer service.

Chris A and Tray F. Are absolutely amazing people. They came in within an hour to fix our business exit signs due to a last minute urgent issue we were faced with. They were very professional and made sure we were satisfied with the work before they left. They each double checked each other's work and were in and out with no questions asked. We will definitely be calling this team for all our business needs. Definitely keep these guys on speed dial!! Thank you so so much Chris, Tray, Kathy, and American Electrical Contracting !! You guys are life savers.
I've always had great service from American Electrical. They did electrical work on my new (old) condo purchased last fall, including running new wires for various appliances and installing light fixtures. They rewired my old home and replaced the panel about 13 years ago, plus installed a plug for our generator. Every interaction has been professional and I've always thought their prices were fair!
Kevin did an incredible job installing our new outlet! Very virtuous and professional. High quality work done quickly. Definitely would recommend these guys!

This is the third time we have had the guys come out from American Electrical. And, as usual, they did not disappoint. Jameel and Chavon actually arrived early and immediately went to work. They took on each task with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. They even conquered a very challenging microwave installation! They got all of the work done in a very short period of time and then cleaned everything up. They both displayed a tremendous work ethic and we enjoyed working with them. I would highly recommend them! :)
Your Electrician Lynnell Williams save the day. We call almost at 9:00 pm on a Friday for a commercial emergency on our property and he came right away and fix the problem in less than one hr. He's customer service was amazing. Thank you guys! We will be doing more business with your company for sure!

Honest, efficient, hardworking. What more could you ask for? The work ended up being less than anticipated and guess what? They charged me less than their original quote, without any hassles.id recommend them to anyone who wants a fair deal and doesn't want the runaround. Great communication.

Waited until 15 minutes prior to appointment to make an excuse, then showed no desire to fix nor complete the work they were hired for. Absolutely the wrong way to run a business, and will not be using them for any future residential or commercial jobs.
Trustworthy and professional. Like these guys. Yelp wants me to keep writing / too short/ so I'm writing this sentence.
I highly recommend this company. They hung a heavy chandelier from a 20' ceiling. 4 guys showed up and they were very professional, courteous and careful to keep the house clean and avoid any damage to anything. I've worked with many contractors, and this is one I would call back anytime. They were also able to schedule me quick.
UPDATED: 1 day after posting review we received our $87 check in the mail. Still no phone call or update from them but appreciate the owed refund.
Positive experience with this company. Technicians were on time, courteous, knowledgeable and efficient for inspection of wiring and installation of new lithium battery smoke detectors.

Kevin and Josh brought my parents house into 2017 with new wiring, new lights and new outlets. They work fast and thorough and seem to always be checking each other's work. They truly listened to our issues and provided reasonable remedies. They are also ridiculously nice. They felt badly that our six dogs would have to be crated for them to go in the backyard, so instead - they took the time to meet all of them! Definitely recommend.
American Electrical deserves all 5 stars and then some! Professional, courteous and competent would easily describe all encounters I had with their staff. Our electricians were Fred E. and Chuck. They spent several days completely rewiring our 90 year old home and I'm delighted with the outcome and with their professionalism and knowledge. I asked a million questions and had some very specific ideas on how I wanted some things done and they were patient and helpful at the same time they kept moving the job along. When employees have great customer service skills you know that is the culture at a business! As a result of Fred and Chuck's great service I am an American Electrical client for life! I say give those guys a much deserved raise!

This is the second time I have used them and I'm still more than happy with their work. They installed new receptacles in my garage for me and they did an awesome job. They cleaned up everything, had everything they needed, were very organized, and worked hard. They were professional and polite and did great work.

Great service by Brian M. and Chandler H. Prompt communication, consultative throughout the entire process and executed three different services within the scope of the call. Very positive experience overall.
After the positive reviews, I contacted them for some simple projects - hanging ceiling fans, exterior lights pre-wired. They turned out to be expensive, and when I turned one of the ceiling fans on a blade flew off. They charged to fix their mistake. The exterior lights have never worked correctly. I also had them run a cable outlet, and they installed a jack without any wire running to it. They charged for the completed project. Of course in the attic they drilled multiple holes in the ceiling, never finding the correct location and never connecting the cable line. It would be like charging to add an electrical outlet without attaching the electricity. Overall dishonest, overpriced and no integrity standing by their work.
I used American Electrical at my home and they are great. Hard working and expertly trained, these guys are tops. I recommend them for any residential or commercial electrical work.

I came home on a Saturday to discover the electricity was out and was unable to fix it myself. American Electrical responded immediately and Chad came to my house very quickly. He was professional and polite and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend them! Thank you!
John was the electrician that came to help me out and he was so nice! I had some issues with my lights and it turned out that I had a burnt circuit. John replaced it and went on his way. Thank you darling!
We have used them twice over the past year and have been very pleased with their service both times. The first time that we used them they wired a new hot tub circuit and the second time that added an additional electrical outlet to a master bathroom. They always showed up on time and were very professional! I definitely plan to call upon them for my future electrical needs.
