I had some weak breakers in my panel as well as other issues. I have used Mr. Sparky once before and was completely satisfied with the company, I called them to fix my new problems and Steven B. was wonderful. Prompt, very nice and explained every detail of what needed to be done at my house. Considering the 102 degree weather and the amount of time he spent in the attic, he was still very professional and pleasant. I would highly recommend Mr. Sparky. Thanks to Steven !

I had a faucet that needed to be installed in my kitchen sink. I purchased the high-end faucet, soap dispenser and hole covers (I have a 4 hole sink but just 2 appliances to install). James came out and gave me a quote - he was very professional and friendly. The staff at the office was very communicative and friendly as well. I hired James to do the job and couldn't be happier. The price was competitive, the work was completed in a timely manner and looks great! He cleaned up all the mess (some that wasn't even his!) and left my kitchen looking great. I would definitely recommend Paschal Air and will use them again in the future. Thanks, James and Pascal Air for a job well done!

NO-SHOWED APPOINTMENT.
I wish I could give them LESS than one star. My first clue should have been when their number was answered with hello! I waited a week for an appointment as they were understaffed that week. I was told I would be taken care of first thing Monday morning - actual appointment was for 9:30am.
At 10:30am, no one has shown up and I have received no calls. I called the office and was told my technician called in sick over the weekend, BUT they got a sub. If he has not shown up or called you by now - maybe he can't make it. I guess I will have to call him. After about 10 minutes Mr Olsen called back and INFORMED me that the tech was not going to be able to make it today and we would have to reschedule. I don't think so.
I called Fisk Electric 972-466-0900 at 11am SAME DAY. They were here at the appointment time of 1pm SAME DAY. My issue was handled by 2pm SAME DAY. On time, efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and reasonable.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH OLSEN.

Victor did an outstanding job replacing wiring and upgrading and moving my electrical panel to ensure it was up to code. He did a great job, kept me updated on progress and finished ahead of schedule. If I ever need electrical work done again, Victor and Custom Electric will be my first call. Great company.

Our refrigerator suddenly lose power one morning, and we rushed around trying to figure out what was going on before our food went bad.
Pierce from Gravity Electric was our service technician. He was super friendly and very straightforward with his answers and our options. The company was also very responsive and helpful from first contact. I would definitely use them again!

These folks did a great job on electric service required for our Pool. Attic insulation had to removed in area that Pool pump electrical needed to out. Once Pool pump was up and operational, we called to have the attic insulation repaired to original state. They came right out and did a great job moving all the disturbed insulation back in place. We are now ready for winter! Have also used them for breaker replacement in the main service panel.
Great company.
Great company.
3106 Main St, Ste 102, Rowlett, TX 75088
I started pricing two new AC units to replace the old inefficient ones that I had. First of all, these companies are robbing people blind!! 13k, 16k and the big daddy of em all, 19k for two units. These companies are charging like they are installing ALL new equipment like, ducts, plenums, wiring and registers! Its rediculous! So ehile browsing some mail, I find IME in a circular and what struck me right from the start was thatvthey listed their prices. Then, and this is the best part, they were within the Texas average for an installed replacement unit.
Look, There are reputable websites you can go to that will tell you what the average cost is for a professional HVAC installation, as well as, wholesale/dealer prices per unit. This is to help YOU, the consumer avoid these overpriced installation jobs. 4 highly recognized companies gave quotes 3 to 5 times the FAIR average.
So I contacted IME. From my first contact with Jake and Tyler, the two sales gentlemen who came to my home, I was impressed with their forthrightness and knowledge about the process and prices. There was no, ....well....., or uhhhhhhhh, you see. I even gave them a couple of reasons to lie to me, to make the deal sound sweeter to get a sale, and they didn't. It was honest and upfront, here's what we can do for you and here's how we will do it.. Just straight talk without the fluff, i really appreciated that. They had me sold but I wanted to run the final price by the brains of this operation in case I forgot anything. The wife okay'd it and I called Jake and Tyler to green light the install.
On 9-13-2019, The crew arrived as planned. I verified the units they had were the correct ones to be installed. Juan was awesome. He introduced himself and his helper and got started straight away. They were very courteous and careful swapping the units out. Juan got clarification on some of the equipment options and after a few hours they were done. I was actually surprised that they were done so soon. Juan took me on a tour of the installation from the inside units to outsides units to the thermostats. The installation was hassle free, damage free, even with bringing two units downstairs and taking two units upstairs, and it was fast enough so that my house didnt notice the lack of AC.
I highly recommend IME to everyone that I came in contact with. From Jake and Tyler, to the very pleasant receptionist who answered a couple of my general questions, to the stars of the event, the installers, Juan and his helper (sorry I cant remember his name!). They were all great to work with!
If anything changes, I will definitely update this review!

Giovanni uninstalled some ceiling fans in my house. He was super responsive to my messages, offered me a great price, and was done in less than 20 minutes! 10/10 recommend.
Arlington, TX 76018
I FEEL CHEATED AND EXCESSIVELY OVERCHARGED! I initially had figures within my home quoted for $2,537.38 tax included. Unfortunately, a piece that was needed for two of my ceiling fans was not sold in home depot or lowes. You all did have the pieces in your warehouse. Also, two fixtures could not be hung 1. The chain wasn't long enough the 2nd. The figure did not hang as advised. So I paid for 1. Ceiling fan in seating area to be removed and placed in guest room, new chandelier one added. 2. Ceiling fan in master removed and placed in guest room, new chandelier one added. 3. Foyer figure removed and new one added. And figure in dining area was removed. I ended up paying $1,997.27. (And some area fees ladder, etc) Now here is where I feel cheated! Today, 2/22/23 I had two figures hung. No additional work was required, figures merely needed hanging and was charged $916.88 FOR TWO FIGURES. I debated with the guy regarding this price, it's price gouging dang near so he took it down to $808.63. This does nothing! How do you come up with your prices? This service should had been no more than $500. I need a call from management and this needs to be adjusted,bthis is absolutely ridiculous. I feel cheated and taken advantage of! I will more forward with next steps of contacting the BBB if not contacted by management.

Amazing. Ran into them by chance and so glad I did. Terry was able to fix our partial power issue within 1.5 hours, including tracking down the replacement part and installing it. I couldn't be more happier with the service. I'd highly recommend and will be using them again.

CHRIS ROCKS! Just finished his second job for me in one week! This guy is super smart about doing anything electrical and very efficient. And does GREAT Work! The first thing I hired him for was the repair outdoor electrical lights. I was expecting a long wait, but he zips through and replaces the lights in no time, with a very reasonable bill.
His work was so good I hired him to come back in a week and install a ceiling fan...in a room that has no attic above it. I didn't think it could be done, but he took care of it in an hour. Bill was reasonable again too. He just finished today.
I also liked how well Chris communicated. He was very quick to get back to me by phone or by text.
This guy is the BEST electrician I have ever worked with. He also is professional and nice. I will be hiring Chris again and recommending him to friends.

Richardson, TX 75080
UDATE INCLUDED Below! DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY! DO NOT PAY HIM IN ADVANCE!! I have to take him to court to get my money back for services he failed to provide.
!!UPDATE! HIS RESPONSE IS AGAIN MORE LIES. I have all the texts and phone call records To prove it. He has 1 5 star review. I did not say anything to him as he left. He makes up anything he wants and pretends it's truth. RUN from this unscrupulous person. Yeah I dropped a couple f bombs in some of my responses because he frustrates you beyond reason with lies. He owes me $160 before court costs. I offered a $100 settlement and he refused. He wants to give me just $25! I would give negative stars, if I could.
I have never had to write a review like this. You can see my posts and usually, if someone misleads a little, I let it go.
Once he has your money, he will figure out a way to get close to $100/hour. He will fabricate fees that he never mentions when you enter a contract with him and chargEd you for parts he recycles from other jobs and claim he bought them for you.
He has yet to provide me any reciept for a light switch that was not In a package. He also asked if he could have my brand new ceiling fans, he took down.
He was so great when I called him because I had someone else not show up and I had painters coming the next day. He said his work is phenomenal and he normally charged $85/hour BUT if I pay him $500 for 8 hours IN ADVANCE, I get deal. IT IS NO DEAL!
He came 1st day and was absolutely great for 1.5hours and I gave him his check, for services in advance.
I was flustered and rushed to get him out and get more things done before I needed to get more done before painters came the next morning. HE LOVES to kill time with chattiThat's not good when you're paying by the hour!
He also wants you to give him buildings codes and access to your place without you there. This is so he can then pad his bill.. He complained about not being able to be there by himself on two counts.
He is the poster boy for bait and switch!
I wrote an incorrect hour time on my check. I called and texted him the next morning and he confirmed I have 8 hours for $500. I also have that in writing.
He also confirmed he would come at scheduled time we agreed upon for Friday, OCt. 7th at 4:30pm and I didn't contact him Again until he contacted me that Friday. He called before our scheduled time and asked if I'm back in town? I said, umm I told you I had an appointment here in Dallas that would take me to about 4pm so 4:30pm is still the time. He launched into a whole thing about the fact he is at another job and he will be late and wanted to push out the time scheduled a week in advance. I said no, not acceptable To move to another day. I have other contractors coming that need your things done and I need them done personally as well. He finally shows up 2.5 hours late. He was clearly irritated about this.
He also left for 20 minutes, to get something from his truck as I was on the phone with my fiancé the whole time and was opening the door to find him and he comes up the stairs with yet another fabricated story about being locked out. He had his phone and could text or call for the code to glass doors he so easily forgot
Had he showed up at our agreed scheduled time, he could have completed everything and our contract could have been satisfied that night. He brings out this unpackaged almond dimmer light switch and I say, what is this? He says, it matches your other outlets... umm NO it does not?! All bathroom covers outlets are white???
We exchanged words, I left him to just get the job done and had to have his mismatched switch installed to make sure the light works.
He was done at 11:03 pm and started 7:05pm,confirmed in text,)& completed 4 hours of work. I texted next day and thanked him for installing my light. He completed 5.5 hours of total work At this point.
He texts me I only have 1.5 out of 2.5 hours left!?!? I say, 7-11 is 4 hours. He responds correct but, I went shopping and you owe me $65 for supplies and 1 hour to shop.
I said no way. You already stated you do not charge for ANY trips to Home Depot.As a handyman he is there frequently and can pick up things for multiple clients on his trips. It's not my problem you procrastinated, nor do I owe a penny for a almond fixture. He is welcome to get it! He proceeded to argue with me, make up false excuses, and then tell me to just take a $25 refund for 2.5 hours of work. Of course I said NO!
He continues to change his story-change times-alter things said and I have two witnesses that directly contradict what he says. His texts, I also have photographed, and printed his texts that contradict each other. He is a liar and a scammer. DO NOT TRUST HIM OR GIVE HIM A PENNY IN ADVANCE.
If you want him for a quick job you pay AFTER he is done, 1st time great.pay in advance, he is HORRIBLE and ARGUMENTATIVE And will 100% lie

Do not use this guy. He came in and created more problems than he fixed and then when he came back to fix them... which he could not do, had the audacity to try and charge me for looking for the problem he created and could not figure out how he did it.
ALSO - I presented him with the problem of a doorbell that was not working... he said it wouldn't be worth trying to fix because he'd have to trace the wires and that could take forever because the doorbell was mortared into the wall. He said we should use a wireless which would have cost a lot and looked ugly. On a whim I bought a 4.98 replacement doorbell. I popped out the old one and put it in. It worked fine.
He is a nice guy, but not much of an electrician. When he screwed things up he had let some kid that works with him, whom I do not believe is even a licensed electrician do most of the work while he stood around talking. Needless to say... NEVER use him.

I hired Jim Hicks to Install 2 lights for my camera back of an envelope to be hot at all times and repair 1 dusk to dawn light and quoted me on paper $201.50. However, he wired them to the dusk to dawn lights which was not what I wanted. He did the back yard and fixed the light under the carport and charged me $220.00. Then said he would be back and give me a bill. He showed up on the 13th which was Sunday and did not call and put an illegal connector on my front light which would have gotten me a ticket from the City of Dallas. and charged me an additional $40.00. I then had to hired another electrician to fix the problem. He also did not wire the back correctly and they had to fix it because the wires were hanging out. The second electrician cost me $639.99. I beleive he owes me that money. He did not do what he agreed to do and ripped me off and did not give me a bill. DO NOT USE THIS GUY. He also made me lose $55.00 on my home warranty due to his lack of respect and no bill.
