Whether it was over chat, phone, or in person, he always explained things clearly, replied in a timely manner, and answered all the questions I had. I'm sure he's had to address similar issues from past projects, but he was always patient and didn't mind explaining things to someone like myself who didn't know much about the details involved. After first providing an initial estimate based on the job description and some photos, we set up an appointment. He then came over to take a closer look, and provided a final cost based on what he saw before starting any work. After we agreed on the quote, he got to work. He worked quickly and efficiently, and did a great job with the final product. Afterwards, he explained to me what he did and informed me of anything I would need to consider in the future. Ed is easy to talk to, takes pride in his craft, and is conscientious on doing his job very well, and is all the while humble. I came away impressed, and was glad I was able to work with him on the project. He's very knowledgeable and skilled, and I would have complete confidence in the jobs that he takes on to do. Thanks again for providing your services and help!

***UPDATE*** So a few months after I'd left the messages and…read morewrote the 1-star review, Steve called me. He apologized and explained that he'd been dealing with some family issues. He had also let go one of the workers who had done my electrical. After making an appointment to come out the following week, I sent him my list of things that needed to be fixed, detailed in my original review. As promised, Chris came out on Monday. He was on time--even early--friendly and courteous. Chris made some recommendations on how to fix some of the problems, did the work, and also saved the day with some quick thinking. He also changed out a motion detector switch to a regular one even though it was out of scope. Steve himself came out and we smoothed things over. I was happy to have the work completed quickly and even talked to him about coming back to install a new light over my dining table. Although I would have preferred the work had been done properly originally, Steve takes pride in his work and I know he felt bad that there had been issues. I understand when family matters come up, and I told him as much. However, I do think he should have left an outgoing voice message explaining that he was taking time off and would not be returning calls for an extended amount of time. I was actually about to hire another electrician to fix all the problems, so I would been pretty upset if I had done so only to have Steve contact me afterward. ***ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW*** My initial experience with Steve and John, who were recommended by my contractor, was good. However, I've now left two messages this year for Steve asking him to come back and fix small issues that came up within weeks of my moving back into my remodeled home: canned light went out, dimmer makes a buzzing noise, smoke alarm fell off my master bedroom ceiling. And the big one: fans in both baths come on when heat/air does and not necessarily when they should. I.e., when I'm showering and the bathroom steams up. I'm sure all of these problems are easy to fix, so I'm frustrated that I've left two very polite messages (one on Steve's cell phone; one at the shop) and still haven't received a call back in over two weeks. I spent more than $10k with Southwest and thought Steve and John were very professional and helpful during the remodel. I think it's very unprofessional now for Steve to not follow up on these issues that I've documented through date-stamped photos. I think it's interesting that the majority of these 5-star reviews for Southwest are from people who don't write many reviews. This can be a sign of business owners asking for favorable reviews in return for providing a discount. If you're researching electricians or any other businesses on Yelp, I recommend doing your homework. Just because the business has 5-star reviews does not mean they truly are a 5-star business.

Steve (the owner) always comes out personally to check on the job, and they get things done promptly and correctly. As my house is a 1970's era house, it really helps to have somebody who knows all the particulars (oddities?) of how the wiring works in the neighborhood. I've had SW Electric work on my pool equipment, my interior lighting, add a ceiling fan, add attic fans, etc -- their prices are always reasonable and they take care of me quickly.

I felt it was important to spend extra for a fully licensed and bonded electrician. We agreed to get the work done on Saturday. Jaime showed up with his partner to complete the work around 9:45am. I left to finish preparing for our move. Jamie completed the work at 12:15pm to very positive results. Everything was done, very neat and tidy.

Half of my house was out of electricity two weeks ago. I had no power to the essentials: heating, cooking, and bath rooms. it was a cold week. I lived on three long extension cords.
