Best Businesses in Charlotte, NC

Tony was great! His customer service is great and he knows his stuff. I would highly recommend him and as a real state agent will recommend him to my clients too.

I had Johnathon Brown do a repair job at my previous property in Pineville, NC. The electrician was courteous, professional, & explained everything well. Being impressed with that experience, I asked them to quote a much more extensive job at my new property in Charlotte. They came out two weeks ago & said they'd have a quote for me at the beginning of the following week. After not hearing from them, I called the following Friday for a status, and they said they'd get it out to me. Never heard back, so I called them again the following Wednesday - again no response. I am quite disappointed in the lack of communication.

Update -
The company apologized for the lack of communication. Johnathon Brown himself came out to gather more information; apparently the original electrician did not get everything needed. He was thorough in explaining all the known & potential challenges for the work that I desire. Hopefully I will get the actual estimate soon, but a decent service recovery effort so far.

Ronnie was great to work with.  Had great prices and very knowledgeable and efficient. We would use them again.

Shawn and his team were ok to work with initially, but as time went on the quality of the work deteriorated and he was rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional. We had a dispute about the terms of our agreement (I admit largely because I didn't realize the terms of the new contract had changed from a previous agreement), however, because of that dispute Sphysicallyhawn and his guys resorted to cursing me including racial slurs (**tch *ss nword), threatening to physically assault me and then abandoning work which was incomplete -and- which I had already paid for($3000).

As far as the work itself was concerned: the fit and finish were sub-standard, every outlet was deformed (one corner bulging out of the wall) (one was put in upside down [switch up was off], one was wired to an overhead light (the outlet doesn't work unless the light is on). When I asked Shawn to correct the deficiencies he refused saying if I wanted him to make something look good, I could forget it. To his credit: earlier on...one of the large windows they installed leaked four or five days after it was installed. I called him, sent him a video of the window leaking and he came out the next morning and caulked it and blamed one of his employees for being derelict. The roof they installed: one corner of it was lifting a week after they left. I did send him a picture (included) of the substandard work.

To his credit: he offered to come and look at it. I ignored the offer based on his track record, previous approach, and lack of work quality. True to form, he resorted to threatening me he would report me to code enforcement, calling me a **tch, etc. (I have the text messages). The final dispute: I contracted with him to move a window and install a door where the window had been. He quoted me, and we agreed on a price ($3500) and I paid him ($7000-- window and a small deck). Previously, the terms of the agreement had been 100% for materials and 50% for labor upfront.

During the window installation, one of his employees asked me for the money ($275) that he spent on materials. I was surprised and told him that I had paid for all the materials up front but I would speak to Shawn about it. Before I had the chance to speak to him about it he sent me several text messages demanding that I pay the $275... I paid for it! However, as I reflected on it that evening I decided that I was fed up with all the drama and decided to cancel the remaining portion of the contract the next day.
Because I canceled the remaining work the next morning: Shawn told them to leave the window and door unfinished (pictures included). When I reminded him that I had already paid for the job, he said that I had paid him to install the door and window/not to finish it.Since I was canceling the rest of the project, I should hire a finish carpenter.  

I was cursed by Shawn and his employee and verbally threatened by one of his employees (over $50 he said he had spent on materials that morning). At no time did I dispute the $50, and in fact said I would send the money by Zelle in the next couple of minutes. The situation culminated in loud cursing by Shawn and his employee and in fact, the employee rushed toward me Zelleas if he intended to assault me. Among the verbal assaults was Shawn accusing me of being a fool who served in the military of a country that had enslaved me, and on and on. I repeatedly asked them to please stop cursing, to lower their voices, and finally to please leave.

Not ten minutes later, he called me...apologizing for his employee and expressing a willingness to complete the part of the project that I had canceled. etc. etc. I said I would think about it (largely because he was holding $3500 of my money). Shortly afterward he returned $600. I firmly believe he did so, in an attempt to show something (goodwill?) that would encourage me to allow them to finish the project.

Of course, I declined to spend another penny with his company. In fact, I'm currently waiting for a reputable roofing company to look at the roof. With what I have seen from the work thus far, I'm preparing myself that the roof might have to be completely ripped off and replaced.
Everything written here is the absolute god's honest truth.  It took a couple of months to process this regretful episode and to get my window sub-standard, and the hole that Shawn left in the side of my house fixed. When I looked at his company's reviews again to understand what I had missed in reviewing the company. I was shocked to see that he had illegally posted pictures of both -me and my house- on Yelp without my permission or a release.
Because I found his company through a Yelp review initially, I wanted to return to Yelp to share my frank and completely honest personal experience.

Finally Caveat Emptor.

Bobby from  LiveWire Electrical came out to help us after me calling him on a Saturday. He was able to work us in quickly. We help out an elderly and it was for her. She had a blown outlet which caused the Window AC unit to not work during the hot August summer. Bobby was prompt, courteous, professional, and his work was exceptional. We appreciate him so much and will only be calling him for all of our needs in the future! Thank you again from the bottom our our hearts!!!

Absolutely amazing. Jesse is fast, reliable and priced fairly. He installed my electric car charger quickly and left the area cleaner than it was when he arrived. I will only use this company going forward.

Look no further for your electrical needs. Bill is top notch and his prices are more than reasonable. We had Bill install 2 ceiling fans. He showed up on time and communication was great. He went the extra mile to make sure both fans were safely installed. Bill quickly fixed another fan in our bonus room at no charge. He also replaced a bulb in our foyer fixture at no charge. One of the fans needed an extra switch installed. Bill went to Lowe's and had everything installed same day. You may get another quote that is a few bucks less, but trust me when I say that Bill is worth those extra few dollars. His work is second to none!

Chad was great! It's so hard to find people who know what they're doing and who actually communicate. Chad was in touch regularly about our job. He showed up on time. Did excellent work. And was just generally a pleasure. There is a good reason he has Professional in the name of his business.

I do not recommend this business. They tried to inflate my bill by recommending an expensive solution for a routine repair. They told me a replacement part I needed was totally impossible to find and the best fix would be a much more involved workaround, but I was able to find the part myself without too much trouble and someone else handled the repair for a fraction of the cost. I can't tell if they were unethical or just incompetent, I just know I would never trust these people to do anything.

We bought an older house and something screwy was going on with one of the light switches recently. Since I had no idea what the heck it was and no desire to burn my house down, I decided to look for an electrician.

I saw all the stars on this one and decided to go with it. The young lady (I think her name was Janae) that scheduled the appointment was courteous and allayed my fears about my house blowing up like a cool movie explosion. That's a really good quality to have in this line of work!

Damon, the tech, was fantastic. He came in, figured out the problem and explained it to me as he fixed it. That was my favorite part! lol He even talked to me about the wiring in the house and why we had the particular kind that we do.

He was on time, fast and thorough, knowledgeable and a lot of fun! If I ever need another electrician, this is my team. For sure.

*Oh! And there's an Angie's List coupon for $20 off, if you're a member. Definitely use it. They're not exactly cheap ($99 for half hour), but they're worth it!

Evan did a fantastic job hanging my chandelier and changing out a fan! He's very professional and truly loves what he does. EM Electric will be who I use in anything to deal with Electricity.

We just had some under cabinet lighting installed by Ryan Hanlon and I can't praise him enough.  We purchased the lighting and started calling around for quotes and almost thought the project was out of our price range when we heard how much people were charging for the installation.  I saw the positive reviews for Ryan Hanlon and gave him a call.  His quote was about 50% LESS than average so I was hoping this wasn't too good to be true.I was not disappointed!  He showed up exactly on time, did a first class job and cleaned up the area before leaving.  We couldn't be happier and now have an electrician for life!

Roman is such a nice guy! He came exactly when he said on a Saturday evening. The business is called Asap and he lives by it. My wife asked him if I needed you at 2:00am would you come ? He said if it was an emergency, sure.  I called him about 7:30pm, he was here and done by 8:45!! Small job, but it needed an electrician. Quick clean professional work! Use this man!

Y'all, if I could give Josh from Blue Collar 10 stars, I would! We had an electrical issue on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. I just went down the line on Yelp and called 15 different electricians... Josh responded quickly, and was over at my house within a couple hours. Quickly got to the bottom of the issue, which was with power IN to the house, helped me call Duke Energy to explain the problem and make sure they dispatched a lineman, and followed up several times over the afternoon and evening to make sure we were okay and all squared away. And even though he could have gouged me on a holiday, he charged me a more than reasonable rate while providing great service. I would absolutely recommend them for all your electrical and HVAC needs (he is licensed for both)!!

This is my fourth project working with Honesty Electric and I find Louis and his crew to be polite, professional, prompt and do great quality work. I will continue using their services!

Christopher and his team have done more than one project for me and I have always been impressed with both him and his team. He has been very responsive for quotes for these projects. His team have always been finished in a very timely manner and the work has been done very well! The area is always cleaned up after the project has been complete as well. I even received a phone call from Chris himself asking if he believed we were given great service! That type of follow-up is much appreciated and I will be using his services for sure in the future for my electrical work.

Had a frozen condensate line and burned out condensate pump for the downstairs heater causing the heater to not work.  I had a very knowledgeable technician. Overall, I was charged about $624 (part+labor+troubleshoot).  The troubleshoot was about $90 and I later googled and found the condensate pump at Home Depot for $50.  That means I paid about $484 for about an hour of labor and knowledge...  I'm grateful for them fixing it since it was like 15 degrees last night and will be again tonight.  They were very professional, explained things to me, and was very clean with their work.  But, overall, I feel that I was way overcharged.  Again, it stressed to me that I need to learn to fix things on my own... But, glad to have a working heater tonight...  Great, professional and friendly technician. But, the pricing is high.

Update: Was able to talk to the area manager regarding pricing. They've given me a discount and now I'm a Happy Camper. I do recommend them. They do great work and do care about their customers.

Update: Talked to Mike (Charlotte Mgr) and he said they'd mail me a check... Guess the check is still in the mail. Been several weeks and haven't received it yet...

Update 6/2016: Never ever received a partial refund check from Mike. But, was auto-enrolled into their annual maintenance program where techs come out and tell you how much more money you need to spend... Pissed me off so bad that I won't even answer their phone calls now. High-priced scam. They will diagnose and fix it for sure - but going to take two pounds of gold from you.  I've since found several great techs that do great jobs at reasonable prices on Angie's list.

My door shifted due to house settlement making my door unable to open or close properly. I messaged him and he replied very quickly, was able to come next day to give a quote. He diagnosed the problem and explained all the options carefully for me. He was able to complete the job same day for a reasonable price. Door swings better than before. He made sure to leave his work tidy as I had it before. Also very friendly. Will use him again for future repairs.

Don't do business with this company. Once a defective light was installed for $225. They refused to take it down for less than $185. Puts my cost at over $1000 for the light and installation. Do not use this company under any circumstances. If I could give 0 stars I would.  No sir the light was not working well when your technicians were there, and when I needed it taken down you refused to do anything but charge me an additional $185 to have it removed. No offer from you other than full price. No worries though I tripped the breakers and took it down by myself in 5-10 minutes. It was really hard. I can understand the $185 price tag when an unskilled person such as myself can do it in 5-10 minutes. Thank you so much and I will assure no one I know and do business will ever use your service. Your a real gem. Good job.
