In the spirit of sharing information with others, and helping folks in our community make wise…read moredecisions about hiring an electrician, I offer you the tale of FOUR estimates. In the unforgettable words of "Sesame Street," one of these things is not like the others. The first is from Key City Electric, which we (regrettably) called first and, because of time constraints I won't get into here (although I'm happy to do so if anyone wants to know), paid $8,400 up front. Two days later, one Key City Electric electrician, a pleasant fellow, came to the house and completed the work, which was mostly moving a range outlet, adding a new line for a microwave, and putting an exposed line behind a wall, which resulted in a new line, which was fine). But because we felt a little sticker shock, we asked around a bit and got a few more estimates after the fact. I'm hiding the names of these companies because I haven't asked their permission, but I'm more than happy to share them privately with anyone who is curious. The results were ... interesting. As you can plainly see. We've asked for a partial refund, but have been told, among other things: "The prices accommodate that because we had to push other scheduled appointments. We had to pull our master electrician's scheduled vacation time to get your project done promptly." We hope this is helpful to you as you shop around for an electrician.

We had Key City do two jobs for us. Back in the fall, Tony came out for a quote to connect a hot…read moretub. Was very friendly and informative. Gave a quote and told us what max cost. We scheduled an appointment. Got the invoice after the job, and it was about 1/2 of the quote. Was super happy. Second job we had overhead lights installed in our living room, not recessed cans, but surface mounted LEDs, which are awesome btw. Decided to do the job on time and materials vs getting an actual quote. The bill was much less than expected. We got 8 overhead lights wired in with a new dimmer switch and a wireless dimmer switch for just over $1k. Tony will be called again if we need more electrical work.

Very helpful and prompt service. Their explanation of the fix was detailed and answered my…read morequestions. Plus flexible appointment scheduling, and more affordable than other estimates.
