My electricity in my Garage stopped working.  And then my HVAC system made a weird noise and spark. I thought something was terribly wrong with my electrical panel. All while the freezing weather and ice accumulation was happening. I called at 8am and he was over by 9am. Made sure the panel was working properly.  Restarted everything. Listened to my concerns. He left my mind at ease. Making sure everything was running properly. I highly recommend All Cummunities Electric, if you have any electrical concerns. Professional and kind.

Steve and his assistant have done great work both times they have worked for us: replacing all of our switches and outlets to deal with aluminum wiring, and fixing some weird wiring with our AC system. He takes plenty of time to answer questions on the phone and in person, and is very professional and friendly. We will definitely call him next time we need help.

Some of our lights weren't working. Electric panel required work. Same day response which was fabulous since we had company coming

I've had two experiences with Chase Electric, very different.

The first was simple.  I wanted a timer installed on my pool pump.  

Well, Christian responded to my e-mail, came out, did a great job, billed a fair amount, and I even connected with him as a fellow guitarist (he, if memory serves, plays a Gibson ES-175).  

Nice guy.  Seemed to know his stuff.  I liked him.

The second experience was more problematic.  One day a week before Christmas 2016, lots of stuff went wrong all over my house in a random way.  Dead lights in rooms nowhere near each other, various dead outlets, no central heat, and the pool pump failed.  

The heat was a real problem -- it was in the twenties outside.  I work from home.  My house was freezing.

I asked Christian if he could come out via e-mail, reporting these issues briefly.  There was no response for two days.  

This was surprising -- I work for myself too, and if I am awake, not an hour will go by in which I don't check business e-mail.  And Chase Electric has its e-mail address front and center on its Web site, inviting people to use it.

Well, in two days, he did get back to me and said he had some time the following week.  I said with no heat in my house, I needed a faster fix than that... so I would find someone else.  He then suggested an HVAC specialist.

Now, being busy the week before Christmas... that I completely understood.   But it was odd that a master electrician would refer me to an HVAC specialist for this.

Anybody with a background in technical troubleshooting (such as mine) knows that when 5-10 different things all go wrong simultaneously, there is a root cause.  This particular root cause was obviously electrical.  And it spanned different circuits, not just the furnace circuit.  

It was therefore something that linked these circuits (meaning either the breaker box or a problem with the city power that led to the breaker box)... as I had suggested to him.

So I knew, immediately, that I had just gotten some dubious advice that was only going to waste my time and money, and I did not hire an HVAC specialist to tell me that my issue was electrical.

Well, Christmas came along and the weather turned warm, and I'm basically a nice guy.  So I wrote him back, and said I'd like to start over with all this, and politely offered him the job again.  Didn't ask for an estimate.  Didn't press him on the timeframe.  Just said I would be glad to hire him.

I never heard a word.  

A week later, I troubleshot this issue myself... using a multimeter and some common sense.  The problem was indeed the power coming from the city (a corroded splice on the roof that killed a hot feed into the breaker box).  Then I managed to talk the city into admitting it was their problem and fixing it (not an easy thing to do).

So I'm rating Chase Electric a 5 for the pump timer job, which was great... but a 0 for this recent experience.   Averaged out they come to 2.5, which I'm rounding up to three because he's a guitarist.  But sitting in my freezing house, I really deserved better advice than to be sent to an HVAC specialist for what was obviously not an HVAC problem at all.

Showed up on time and was done quickly with what they must have considered a small job (installing a new fixture in the bathroom.  They were very professional and reasonably priced.

We had a tricky job because of our roofline and location on the breaker box on an existing home.  We needed a plug changed to 330v service for a new double oven that was being installed.  Robert came out to evaluate the work needed and explained that it would be tough to give us a firm estimate.  So what he did was give us best case scenario and worse case and let us make the decision.  We appreciated his candor and honesty and authorized them to do the work.  Robert and his helper, were prompt, efficient and tidy.  Best of all he was able to get the job done within the best case scenario.  I highly recommend this company.

I contacted Brian to bid on an electrical job recently. Brian was easy to get a hold of, returned calls promptly, and provided my requested quote and information in a fast and efficient manner.  
While I ended up choosing another contractor for the job due to their proximity to the service location, I would not hesitate in utilizing Brian's services in the future if I have additional electrical contracting needs.

Always on time!  Clean, sober and professional!  The installation was flawless and they cleaned up after themselves before they left for the day.   I appreciated Trey's dedication and speedy service when all of the other electricans failed to return my phone calls.

I called Martin when my grandmother's water heater was on the fritz due to electrical panel issues and he was fantastic. Fast, professional, and very responsive. It's really hard to get good tradesmen out to the boonies where my grandmother lives, and he took such good care of her! He also followed up later to check on how the panel was working. Thanks Martin!!

Mr Walton has helped us diagnose issues with a tankless water heater, and separately help with electrical for a mini-split installation. Always great service and very communicative

I called 3 highly rated electricians on yelp. Jarrod called immediately, was out the same day, fixed the problem at a fair price, called back the next day to check and make sure everything was ok before either of the other two returned my call.

Seriously, the best experience with an electrician team I have ever experienced.  From the estimate, which was absolutely free, no fee at all to come out...most places as it turns out charge about an $80 fee just to come look and give an estimate.  To the job that was done today...professional, quick and relatively inexpensive.  Really the best price out there for such a professional job.  Three different young men came out to my house.  The first to do the estimate, the other two to do the job.  Three different young men that were professional and so willing to work hard to get the job done quick and correctly.  I cannot recommend them enough.  I felt very comfortable having them in my home.  I know who I will contact from now on to have any electrical work done when needed.  The only complaint that I have is that they were booked for about a week give or take a day or two.  So, we had to wait that long for the work to be done.  I understand why that is though.  They are great so they stay busy.  Thank you LiveWire, for a professional job WELL DONE!!!!

Owner got in contact with me within one day. Referred me to Matt who was able to come out the next day and do all the work requested in under the minimum time.

Was also given a quote for more electric work that when needed will use Biggs for.

We are very happy with the services we received from J & Co. A bad storm hit our neighborhood a couple of weeks back and we lost partial power to our home. Long story short, the local power company determined the panel had been struck by lightning, and a electrician would need to be called out to replace it entirely due to the age of the panel. I contacted J & Co. and spoke with Josh. He was able to get out to our place within 10 minutes, looked over the issue, and had the parts in stock to take care of the panel same day. He also went the extra mile of helping me call the power company back out to turn off the electricity while he made the repairs, and then called them again to turn it back on afterwards. Because of Josh's speedy response, we were able to prevent the food in our fridge from spoiling and we did not go very long without AC. Many many thanks Josh for all your help. If we ever have a problem in the future, I know who I will be calling!

Doug responded quickly, and was able to complete the job ( installing a dedicated RV outlet on my home) within my timeframe. He was polite, quick, honest, and fair. I would recommend Windy Hill to everyone with electeical service needs!

We've used Georgetown Electric Company to hang fans and fix switches multiple times now. Greg and his employees are prompt, knowledgeable, and reliable. We will continue to use GEC in the future.

I needed custom LED lighting put in my Condo they did an amazing job. They also installed a charging station for my Tesla in no time. Super friendly professional Great Service!

When I bought my new house and needed to get some electrical work done, I called around to several electricians to get an estimate.  Surprisingly, a lot of them didn't even return my calls, but Eugene called me back, gave me a thorough explanation of the electrical issues outlined in my home inspection report, and set up a time to fix my problems.  So far he's helped me out with replacing an outdated interior breaker box, and did a complete update of my outdoor electrical system.  He does great work, and he's a pleasure to work with.  Highly recommended.

We had a complex retro-fit panel replacement on a 1931 bungalow.  We needed an electrician who 1) could fit us in during one of the busiest seasons EVER  2) could understand the scope  3) could navigate scheduling and permitting with the city  4) would do it for a reasonable price.  Scott and his team at Capstone did all four. In addition, Scott's communication was BY FAR superior than any electricians or other trades we spoke with.  We knew what to expect and when to expect it.  We are very grateful that Scott & his team were referred to us!  I HIGHLY recommend them.
