Best Lighting Installation in Saint Paul MN

Had a problem with a couple of GFI outlets in the kitchen, and Dean came out and took care of it in a half hour. Very nice guy and did a great job at a great price! Thanks!

We had a broken bathroom extractor fan that rendered our main bathroom totally unusable. My wife tried to extract it and midway through discovered, to our despair, that the fan wasn't extractable with the tools and leverage we had. Folks here were SUPER nice, came same day so we could shower on ZERO notice, and were extremely fair in their pricing. It was a tight squeeze and a mess, and they saved our asses--we are so grateful.

I have used them for several years to tune up my AC and furnace and have had no issues.  I asked the man once when he was here for a tune up what it would cost to replace my bathroom exhaust fan - he gave me a range of $250 - $500.  That inspired me to watch an online video and do the job myself for the cost of under $40 for the fan.  Another time I had them come out to repair the furnace on the weekend.  I paid them well for this after hours call.  I was told would also need a new thermocoupler for an additional $500.  The man then said he found out he didn't have that part with him. Lucky for me, because the furnace has worked quite well for 2 years since then without this pricey replacement.  I get  the feel they are gouging me with their pricing, and will look to another HVAC contractor for my future needs.

I would not recommend this company to anyone, came in told me to could not run my furnace and offered me a replacement for 7000. left 2 heaters (only with a 40 dollar deposit) for me to heat my house. called 3 other companies the next day and had a identical furnace to the one they were offering installed in my house for less then 3000, less then haf what they were going to charge. I called them every day for a week to lick u their heaters so I would not get charged the $40, was guaranteed they would not cash my check, finally a week later they come and pick up the heaters, the same day that they cashed my check. seems to me like they are stricly out for money withno regard to the customer.

We had a great experience with Boys Electric. Professional, courteous and value for money. We had two ancient power sockets removed, replaced and brought up to code as well as having a dimmer installed.

Why did I really like these guys?
1) The booking experience over the phone was terrific. First class. Their tone, willingness to help and taking time to explain their pricing and setting expectations about the job.
2) The technician was extremely capable and professional. Awesome.
3) They bill on a fixed price basis, not by the hour. The job was scoped and priced up front and the cost doesn't change. If it takes them twice as long, it's the same fee.

Excellent service provider and I will certainly use them again!!

I own a condo unit and contacted Lakes Areas because I had little heat being generated and very high energy bills. Lake Area offered to come out the same day I contacted them. After very thorough testing of my heat issue, they concluded that I needed to replace my heat pump unit (this is equivalent to a furnace in a house). I was charged $200 on the spot for the visit, of which I wasn't made aware of when making the appointment. They quoted me $13,390 for replacement of a heat pump and dry wall repair, a larger hole needed to be cut in the ceiling for installation. I was quoted HALF this amount by a second company and eventually found someone to do the work for ONE THIRD the cost. The markup by Lakes Area on just the heating unit itself was 89%! Also, none of the other companies charged me to come out and provide an estimate.

I was surprised to see all the negative reviews for Dean's. We signed up for their membership this year and have had pretty good experiences with all of their technicians who have been thorough in their inspections of our furnace (Brandon), plumbing (Matthew), and AC (Adam) systems. They have provided detailed photo and written documentation of their inspections and explained everything clearly without being pushy at all about other services that they could offer. We are scheduling a duct cleaning with them for later this month. I do wish that their service windows were tighter (rather than 8am-6pm) but they do a decent job of calling beforehand to give a half hour heads up so I can still get my errands done during the day.

Needed to replace a leaking hot water valve connected to our washing machine. Secured the appointment for Monday, but they were overbooked and finally came Wednesday. The technician was competent, but disrespectful of my time.  I work from home and he demanded so much of my attention to upsell services and replace appliances in which I had zero interest (water heater, testing water pressure, and water softener).

He also replaced both of the water lines (despite them being brand new) and the cold water valve.  As other reviews noted, very expensive likely to pay for their commercials. Would not use again.
