Best A/C Installation in Phoenix AZ

They should be called Anything but Simple Electric.
I originally contacted them in March of 2021 after purchasing a home.  The previous owners had installed a salt cell hot tub incorrectly.  I called to get this corrected.  I also asked about tracing down some light connections since I couldn't figure out how to turn on certain lights in the home.  At first, it was very difficult connecting to them.  There always seemed to be a problem with the phone for the business as answered by the office manager Ashley.  When we did, I asked if they would do the work the same day and was told yes.  Mike and someone obviously new and in training showed up.  Mike appeared to know what he was doing.  He was assisting the other guy with a switch and wall plate.  He could not tell what a switch was for either.  I later solved that on my own, but still needed to know how to turn on another light or wire a switch.  Mike looked at it from the ceiling and said it should not be difficult.  Outside, he agreed that the electric connection to the hot tub ( running an extension cord from the house to the hot tub) was incorrect and should not be used.  He spoke about needing a trench from the outside electric panel to the hot tub.  No work for anything was done that day ... contradictory to what I was told.  I asked if I could save some money for labor if I dug the trench and was told yes.  When I received the invoice, it was going to be $200 less if I dug the trench.  (a foot deep and probably 40 feet long).  I guarantee you they would have charged 3x's the amount if they dug it themselves.  I don't even want to tell you how many hours I needed to do it.

That said, that didn't stop them from figuring out my light that wouldn't turn on.  They didn't.  They also didn't figure out the one switch.  I later did.  I later finished the trench in May and called them in the beginning of June. An appointment was later set up for Saturday, June 26th. Long time for something "Simple".  I said that I wanted to include figuring out a shed on the property.  There are switches and plugs in there and an electrical conduit outside, but no power.  I was told Mike would call me earlier in the week to go over what I wanted, he didn't.  The day before, I had a call from Ashley, the office manager, who although she had scheduled the appointment at 10 ( saying she knew Mike would allow that) she now is trying to tell me that the appointment has to be at 6AM!  She said he had to go in the attic and couldn't do that  since it could get to 150 degrees up there.  I said he didn't need to go in the attic.  The shed was outside as was the conduit and so was the trench (which was the main reason for hiring them).  They just needed to make a connection, and run wire through a conduit in the trench that I dug.  She kept insisting he needed to get in the attic.  I kept saying no and if they didn't want the job, or just didn't want to work Saturday, or don't like working in the heat; they shouldn't have accepted it, had me dig the trench, or said it would be easy to do.  I said there was no way they were going to be in my attic at 6AM knowing that I have a medical problem and wouldn't even be awake.  If they were "Simple" they could have done the inside work back in March or April - although it still was never stated they needed to be in the attic.  At least it wouldn't have been "150 degrees" in the attic! They could have even have asked if they could do that in Sept or Oct. On the appointment day, they could have done the outside work in probably an hour or less and have been done, but Nooooooooo - I guess that would be too simple and too smart!

Instead, they got no work, have to pay back my deposit, and get a negative but honest review.  I wouldn't recommend anyone using them unless you like making a mountain out of a mole hill, and doing everything the hard way.  Nothing is simple for Simple Electric.

Oh, and no matter what they might say about this review, it is how it happened, and I have all the recorded phone calls for anyone interested. Unless you don't mind waiting and then not having the work done, be smart and find someone else... I will.

My landlord sent these guys to fix my bathroom and hallway lights. Everything else in the house was working fine. The electrician arrived and after 1 hour had blown a fuse and killed power to half the house. He didn't seem to understand how the house was set up as he kept asking us where the indoor fuse box was and seemed generally confused. He told us he had to get another electrician to go in the attic and left. He never came back and all calls went straight to voicemail. After calling the company a second electrician was sent out. He worked for about 2-3 hours and left. After the 2nd electrician, the rest of the house lost power. We have 2 working outlets, working AC, and a working fridge.  It's now day 2 and they didn't send anyone over today. After another call I was told 2 electricians MIGHT be sent tomorrow after they call our landlord. The man on the phone, Bruce, seemed combative and irritated at us, and didn't offer any apologies or ownership for the problems his company caused. At this point it's plainly obvious this company doesn't know what they're doing and doesn't care about their customers.  Do not do business with these people. Steer clear and find competent electricians who have the skills and know how to at least fix a bathroom light.

Outstanding service and attention to detail. They walked me through everything that needed to get done and a pike in plain English.

I highly recommend this company.

We are using them again. The first time Daryl was referred to us by Renco roofing (Now those guys are good) and he did perfect work. We needed a 220 line run from the utility room to the kitchen. He had to cut lots of dry wall holes and run new wire. He cleaned up and it all worked perfectly. In addition he is courteous and you can trust him.

Today we need the 220 outlet changed to a 110 because  the Advantium oven is shot and can't be repaired. We are changing to a microwave and it does not need 220.

The home warrantee people suggested an electrician who did not show up, forgot the appointment and then forgot who I we were when we called to ask why he had not shown up for two weeks. We called Daryl!

Daryl was here the next day (today) and he is installing the new 110 outlets and I have him putting in a switch and an outlet on my barn.

Let me comment on trust. We have had two neighbors broken into and the bad guys were contractors they had used to do repairs. Going cheap in not always a good idea and you need to know who you are letting into your home. You can leave your home and know that you can trust Daryl and that may be his greatest asset. He is a really good electrician but there are lots of those. With Daryl you get  quality electrical work and a guy you can trust. That is a big deal.

My washing machine has overflowed 3 times this month.  The first time, my entire downstairs was flooded.  (Luckily, I have tile floor and a wet vac.). After the 3rd time, I realized there MUST be something wrong with my washing machine.  I thought it couldn't be a huge issue since it was so sporadic so I didn't want to pay a HUGE price.  I found Gabe and gave him a call.  He didn't answer but called me back IMMEDIATELY (while I was still leaving a message.)

He told me he was at another job in Tolleson and could come directly to my house in Laveen when he finished (he said he works all over the Phoenix Metro area so it was AWESOME that he was so close when I called.  He was clearly meant to be my repair man.). He showed up about an hour or so after my original call.  He fixed the washing machine and took the time to explain how to make sure it doesn't happen again.    His pricing is reasonable/inexpensive and his service is quick!  I am saving his info in my phone for any work I need done in the future.

I had called firefly electric last week on Thursday and they had someone out out by the following Monday which is today. I had the pleasure of having Trevor H. come out and install a Tesla charger in my garage. Trevor was beyond helpful and even more knowledgeable! He explained every step of the way as I was outside with him almost the entire duration of the install- I even had a bunch of unrelated electrical questions that he was able to shed some light on for me. Super clean job and anyone calling firefly electric needs to ask for this man!!!

William was great very patient and thorough. Quick response time and efficient work. Would recommend to everyone. Prices reasonable too.

We just had Josh come over and do several things in our new home and he did such a fantastic job and provided us an amazing price. Highly recommend!

Our master bedroom power went out in December, the first company that came out told us it was normal and had nothing to fix or to avoid the issue happening again. Fast forward to a few days ago, the power went out again. Reached out to Arc Electrical and he was quick to respond, quick to get out to our house and his pricing affordable. He was able to figure out the problem and solution within minutes and our power was restored! Excellent customer service and will recommend to anyone I know.

I don't normally give reviews, but Matt and his team do fantastic work.  They are punctual, personable, treat your home as if it were their own. I will definitely be calling them anytime I need electrical work done. Thank you Matt and Humberto!  It is refreshing to work with people that care.

Gary did an awesome job installing a ducted kitchen island stove hood. Very reasonably priced and timely. I am so happy I found a good handyman. Now I can cook bacon inside the house without opening all of the windows!

I called on a Friday afternoon and received a call by owner Mike within an hour. I was then scheduled for Monday at 10 a.m.
Derrick came out and added a timer to my porch lights, added a new GFI outlet to my laundry room, did troubleshoot to an outlet under sink and replaced a bad wire in my electric box. He was professional, and cleaned as he worked. He let me know what the choices were for all repairs. Bonus: veteran owned, bonded and insured. Price was amazing for the work he did.  Finally, a job done right the first time!

I called with concerns this morning and needed my power restored to lights/outlets quickly. He responded right away to my call and was here shortly after. Very professional and fair with their pricing. I appreciate it. Thank you!! I definitely recommend Arc for your electrical repairs or needs.

We had Econolight come out to install two sets of recessed lights - one set in the family room, the other in the living room.  To make the decision to go with Econolight, I relied heavily on the 39 positive reviews that I read on a competing website that focuses on contractor work.

I also checked out their website, and reviewed their custom lighting design projects that they had completed for other customers.  My project was very basic, but they can clearly do some very sophisticated lighting arrangements.

They came out very quickly, and gave us a firm quote.  The quote price was almost exactly the same as another electrician who had quoted the same job.  They also made some suggestions about how we could improve the arrangement as compared to our original idea.  We went with their recommendations.

We had Econolight install both sets of lights about one month ago.  Both sets of lights are FANTASTIC.  They were fast, friendly, efficient, and tidy.  We have had many compliments on their work, and the additional light has made a huge difference in the enjoyment of our home.  We should have used Econolight years ago.

James and Dave came out to install cable on the other side of my living room, which we could not get the cable companies to do for us because they had to crawl in the attic.  

They also installed a new light fixture and adjusted two others that were installed incorrectly during the house remodel.  They even repaired some exposed wires they found in the attic to make sure we were up to code and safe.

They were very quick with giving us an estimate and scheduling a date to come out and to do the work.  They were even very nice and put the remainder of our tv stand together and mounted the tv for us.  

Very professional, polite, and inexpensive for the work they did for us.

Dave does quality work. Not only will I use him again (install a mini split A/C & a Tesla charger) I will recommend him to my friends & family. I needed my 16x20 shop wired with a sub panel. He showed up when he said he would and is very fast and efficient. This is what I had him do. Install sub-panel, 14 outlets, wiring for future equipment, and lights inside and outside. The price he quoted was the price I paid. No upcharges or surprises. He was very professional and pays attention to details.

We were needing an efficient and reliable electrician to come to our house to install recessed lights in order to brighten up our common areas. Paul delivered a great job in accomplishing our project in short amount of time. I would definitely recommend his services, as I look forward to working with him again soon.

He was amazing!  Very thorough and completed the job quickly!  I will be having him back soon to do more work for me.  Highly recommend for your electrical needs!

We kept losing power every few minutes the previous evening but couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong with our breaker. The next morning we'd reached out to a few electricians and Robert with RCT replied almost immediately with availability to come in the next couple hours. Once he arrived he assed the issue with our breaker and was able to discover the cause of the problem very quickly. Robert was extremely knowledgeable and explained the cause and what was needed for the repair. Once he finished going to get the part, he was quick to get the repair completed and our main breaker was replaced in no time! If you are looking for a knowledgeable, professional and friendly electrician, look no further!

I had a small project to have outlets installed in two spots in my house. One in the living room behind the tv and the other in a network closet upgrade.

Mr. Jorn (David) was the first to reply on Yelp, had clear and concise explanation of services, and we agreed on a service date (Saturday).
He arrived promptly, was very courteous, and efficiently knocked out the outlet projects in no time at all. He entertained my periodic questions about electricity and the project, and we had a good general chat while he worked.
Very pleased with results and will work with Mr. Jorn again in the future.
