K & G Elec Co

Came on time. Electrician was polite and humored me by answering all of my questions. Work was straight-forward but carefully done and care was taken not to ruin the wall surrounding the switches that were replaced.

Bill came in as expected. They are the vendor used by my building and would definitely use them again.

Having work done that one does not have to think about again is definitely worth it.

They came late , did nothing,  didn't return phone calls and charged a lot. I advise against using them. I never will again.

Just absolutely a horrible experience with them. The receptionist must be related to the owner because there's no way any person who cares about his/her business would hire her. She was completely rude and unprofessional from the beginning. Once they got their $300 (or something like that) deposit from me, they totally dropped the ball on my project. Weeks passed. I called to ask them what was taking so long for them to set up something with me. They had the nerve to tell me that the guy came the other day but nobody was home. If somebody is supposed to come to my home to do the work, you need to let the client know they're coming instead of just showing up. It just doesn't work that way. I tried to get the guy to reschedule and they never got back to me. Such a waste of my time. Luckily I disputed the charge with my credit card company and was able to get my money back.

Maybe K&G was screwing around with me because they thought the job was too small. I found another electrician who was true to his word and competent. Turns out that it was a larger job than originally anticipated as they found out that our place was incorrectly wired. K&G lost out. Please never use them unless you want to be royally screwed over.

Be careful with this company! They told me that they would charge me about $200 per hour for their service. They arrived early before the time window (12-3pm) while I was not home, after telling me on the phone days before that I was 3rd in line during that time. Then they worked for less than 1hr. I asked how much the total bill would be but they said to wait until next week. The next week I got the bill and they charged me for 1.5 hours of work. When I called they explained that they had to wait for me and that was the reason for the 1.5 hours of work. Total Scam!

Mostly very good.   They're the firm my co-op recommends and I've used them several times for various fixes, some more complicated than others.   They seem to have two levels of electricians, one for simple fixes like replacing light switches or fuses and one for more advanced wire problems.   All in all they've very efficient, straight forward with their billing and helpful.

One apt with them I give a more mixed review where the electrician seemed puzzled and I watched him test the exact same thing 5 or 6 times, on more than one occasion.   The definition of insanity being someone who does the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, I found that troubling and while I've had that electrician in the past and he's been very good, he struck me as a little senile this time.

Finally, after about an hour of testing the same thing he looked at something else and that turned out to be the problem, so the end result was good, but I found his work on that day a bit troubling.   Overall, still a 4 star company easily.    Mostly they're efficient and very upfront on costs and their prices are fair.

aka K &G Electric       Sorry I haven't reviewed sooner.  They installed recessed lights over my kitchen bar about a year and a half ago.  Their service was impeccable.  They gave me an accurate estimate and were incredibly helpful, tidy and thorough.  Not only did they install the light fixtures but they also plastered over the ceiling gaps around the new lights.  I live in an upper westside condo building with strict insurance guidelines for servicers and they had all the necessary insurance/WC/etc.   Excellent and would use them again.
