I called to see if he could help me with a broken closet shelf. Unfortunately he was busy and couldn't come as quickly as I needed someone but he still helped me by looking at photos and sending me links to exactly what parts we need so I could save time and money on the next handyman. It was refreshing to see someone genuinely wanting to help without any compensation involved. I will FOR SURE be calling again next time I need some work done around the house!!

David is awesome! After looking for an electrician & looking through many other options I decided to call David for help because of all the good things people had to say about him. They were all true! David not only showed up very quickly, he had things working in under half an hour. He's very professional & he's super nice! I highly recommend him!

Nice and efficient worker. He came soon to solve the issue. He is very confident about his skills.

Very quick to get back to me. He does very clean work and was able to get it done on the same day. Very professional electrician.

I hired Sam to replace a 2 plug receptacle at my house that had gone bad. I contacted him on a Saturday morning & he was very responsive over Yelp & txt message. He gives transparent and fair pricing. We scheduled the appointment for the same day and he showed up prepared and replaced the receptacle with no drama. Workmanship was great. Once completed, I sent him payment over Zelle and everything was taken care of. No surprises. Fair pricing. Great work. I'm very pleased and highly recommend Sam for similar jobs.

Larry Strom from ELS Electric was referred to me thru my neighborhood watch app. I was having some issues with three of my light switches that I didn't want to tackle myself. I knew the job wouldn't be that challenging but still wanted to call in a professional. I called Larry on a Monday and he said he should be able to come out the next day! The next day he called to give me an accurate ETA. That worked out great because I was able to leave work and meet them instead of waiting around all day. When I pulled into my driveway, Larry and Dan were there waiting for me! Such wonderful customer service!  Turns out I bought the wrong light switch for my 3-way light so thank goodness Larry had the right switch in his truck. Larry and Dan are both professional, polite and very customer service oriented. I will definitely use them again for my electrical needs!

I am extremely happy with Fitch Electric! Fast, professional service! My technicians David and Levi took great care to get our generator installed without much disruption to my family. All the work looks great, very clean lines. Would gladly recommend this company to a family or close friend.

Randy, the owner, responded during his lunch hour to my emergency phone call.
He quickly spotted the problem and VOILA...now my oven works!!
Thanks for a great job.

Robert helped installed an EV charger for me lately. Despite it was a Friday afternoon, Robert professionally insisted to drop by and did a through review before he can commit a good install at an affordable price. In addition to the proven reliable install, he also gives kind advises based on his expertise about routing, future expansion etc. highly recommended and thanks again!

I am very happy with Antonio's work on our opened drywall ceiling. The final outcome is what I wanted. It is hard to imagine there was any opening there at all. He  closed it, matched the texture, went same evening to  a store and bought some paint.  He was going back and forth to his car for tools and never forgot to wear shoe protectors. He fixed the light that was not working too. It was ultra easy to hire him. I think I got lucky on one of those crazy rainy days. He responded to my message very quickly and was at my place fixing the ceiling in like 1.5 hours. Wow. I was trying to hire the drywall guy here at yelp for a week going back and forth through his manager and I hired Antonio in a blink of an eye. The bonus: he charges very reasonably. I liked his attitude and demeanor as well. I cannot thank Antonio enough and plan to hire him for more projects around my house.

tried to hire him 2 times. First time, he showed up, took a look and said he will come back with a quote. He never followed up.
Second time, he gave me an appointment for 4pm next day. I shortened my trip so that I could be home for the appointment. Then when I called him at 4:15pm, he said something came up and he wont show up. He said he texted me in the morning, but I never received anything and I think he just lied. Then he said he will call be back but he never did.

Dan of BAM did a great TV/bracket/ Blue Ray with shelf installation for us yesterday. Excellent work, very knowledgeable, friendly and low key. He also dealt with Comcast re: our Xfinity password, hooked up another Xfinity box to another TV, sorted out the WiFi signal from the router box, and also installed a wall-mount light fixture. I'm having him come back soon to hang some heavy pictures. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Chris who has done work before on my house which is being updated came out today to do some additional work. Chris always calls if he is running late and will give an estimated new time. When Chris shows up he is ready to work and before Chris starts any job he gives you the upfront cost. I can see why Chris is the lead electrician.

I added 2 additional jobs but Chris said he would be able to handle all the work on this visit. Of course the pricing changed and again before Chris started he explained the additional charges and getting my approval before starting.

Chris is by far the best of the best. Got Watts has done a lot of work for me over the last year and I highly recommend them for any electrical work needed. You can request Chris like I do. You won't regret having him do the work and overall having an excellent company backing up the work

Hancock and his partner came over to my house to install several fans.

They arrived on time and were very professional and competent.

I obtained other Licensed electrician quotes that were cheaper but he was willing to price match the others for a fair price. I chose him b/c he was very responsibly communicative and that gave me confidence.  My instincts proved to be correct.

If you go with him, you should be very pleased all around!

***UPDATE***
So a few months after I'd left the messages and wrote the 1-star review, Steve called me. He apologized and explained that he'd been dealing with some family issues. He had also let go one of the workers who had done my electrical. After making an appointment to come out the following week, I sent him my list of things that needed to be fixed, detailed in my original review.

As promised, Chris came out on Monday. He was on time--even early--friendly and courteous. Chris made some recommendations on how to fix some of the problems, did the work, and also saved the day with some quick thinking. He also changed out a motion detector switch to a regular one even though it was out of scope.

Steve himself came out and we smoothed things over. I was happy to have the work completed quickly and even talked to him about coming back to install a new light over my dining table.

Although I would have preferred the work had been done properly originally, Steve takes pride in his work and I know he felt bad that there had been issues.

I understand when family matters come up, and I told him as much. However, I do think he should have left an outgoing voice message explaining that he was taking time off and would not be returning calls for an extended amount of time.

I was actually about to hire another electrician to fix all the problems, so I would been pretty upset if I had done so only to have Steve contact me afterward.

***ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW***

My initial experience with Steve and John, who were recommended by my contractor, was good. However, I've now left two messages this year for Steve asking him to come back and fix small issues that came up within weeks of my moving back into my remodeled home: canned light went out, dimmer makes a buzzing noise, smoke alarm fell off my master bedroom ceiling. And the big one: fans in both baths come on when heat/air does and not necessarily when they should. I.e., when I'm showering and the bathroom steams up.

I'm sure all of these problems are easy to fix, so I'm frustrated that I've left two very polite messages (one on Steve's cell phone; one at the shop) and still haven't received a call back in over two weeks. I spent more than $10k with Southwest and thought Steve and John were very professional and helpful during the remodel. I think it's very unprofessional now for Steve to not follow up on these issues that I've documented through date-stamped photos.

I think it's interesting that the majority of these 5-star reviews for Southwest are from people who don't write many reviews. This can be a sign of business owners asking for favorable reviews in return for providing a discount. If you're researching electricians or any other businesses on Yelp, I recommend doing your homework. Just because the business has 5-star reviews does not mean they truly are a 5-star business.

I wanted to wait until our permit was approved before leaving a review and it happened today.

I met Bellows through the Costco Services program when I requested a quote to replace our 30+ year old furnace and to add a/c.  Carl came around about two weeks later and spent a good amount of time looking over our house and then explaining our options.  I felt he was very knowledgeable and trusted his suggestions.  Normally, I always get at least three quotes, but by the end of his presentation, I was comfortable enough to sign the agreement.  Due to their backlog, I was warned that our installation wouldn't happen for another six weeks, but we were okay with that.
 
About a week after the consultation, Russell, the project manager, came to our house to check out the logistics as we were moving the furnace from a closet to the attic.  He answered all of my husband's questions to the point that my husband also felt Bellows knew what they were talking about.
 
When the installation date arrived, a team of four worked three and a half days to complete the work.  Each day, they arrived promptly and left the house super clean at the end of the day.  Bellows arranged for another company to do the HERS test which is required for the permit and we passed with no issues.

Today, the city inspector came and Bellows sent a technician to answer any questions he may have and our permit was approved!

Bellows has been very responsive and supportive every step of the way and now that we've used both our new furnace and a/c without issues, we can vouch for their knowledge and skills.

I have already recommended Bellows to two friends and would not hesitate recommending them to you!

Great service! If you are looking for electrician to install your Tesla Wall Connector here is your man Ja owner of Oak Electric. Jason on very short notice (2 days) squeezed our job in his busy schedule. He was very easy to reach, no needs for leaving message just immediate direct contact. He with his helper come today 1/7/20 at 7AM and within 1 1/2 hr installed Tesla Wall Connector. I was prepared for this installation thinking that this will be difficult job and getting nice clean and not intrusive installation. I sent him pictures with explanation via text messages what I would like to have done. I bought stud finder just in case and have other tools. He did not need all this stuff. He has everything in his van, all tools  and all parts. Jason with his helper knows exactly how this could be done. This required to run wire from an electrical box that was unfortunately installed not in proper place when we originally built the house. Jason easily find out how to run behind the wall wire from electrical box to the place where Tesla Wall Connector was eventually situated. No condescending talks like you often hear from so called experts with years of experience. He run the #6 wire behind the wall and also replaced 50 amps circuits breaker to 60 amps so we could charge our Tesla with 48 amps. He did very clean job and after 1 1/2 hr Tesla had a new feed. Jason is a great communicator, very easy to work with, very professional and doing quality work. I highly recommend him.

Jon and team were wonderful!  They were reasonable, on time, knew what they were doing and Jacob was very professional. I would highly recommend JMC.  Call them for your spa needs!

Emmanuel, Gilbert, Ethan and rest did a great job from start to finish!  They were creative with their solutions and the job was done in a professional manner.  We will be hiring them for our larger projects in the future!
