But in cases where negligence or incompetence can be dangerous, I take the time. I hired Andrew to add a new junction box to hang a chandelier in our kitchen. At the time I thought everything worked out great--he came out promptly and did the install while we waited for our fixture to arrive. However, when we prepared to hang the fixture ourselves, I realized he installed an "old work" style box that can't support more than 6lbs and isn't designed for ceiling fixtures. Most people (including me!) would never have known the difference except that I had to switch out another light a few weeks prior and did some research into what equipment I needed. I would expect a licensed electrician to know this, but in good faith I assumed it was a mistake. After a week of texts and phone calls, he finally responded and offered to put in the correct junction box. Then he never showed up for our appointment and quit replying to my messages. That was more than a month ago, so I assume he has no intention of returning. Unless you have the electrical expertise to supervise Andrew's work, I would strongly suggest you hire someone else with more competence and/or integrity. Or be prepared for fixtures to potentially come crashing down on you and your family.

Guivi showed up on time every time and knew his stuff. We walked the whole project together before he started, and when a couple of things needed adjusting, he explained why and we changed the plan. No surprises on the bill. He pulled the permit and handled the back and forth with the county across several inspection visits, which is the part I was dreading most. When I had questions he picked up the phone or came by in person. I'll be sending friends and family his way, and he's my first call for the next electrical project.

Most business can't even do a job like this due to requiring such a tall ladder. Their quote was significantly lower but the quality was exceptional. They sent 3 guys and lucky they did because it took a whole day. All their guys were super professional and personable. I will be using them in the future for all electrical needs. Only suggestion I would have is the guys should come with their own white gloves for delicate crystal related projects. Most parts only come with one white glove. I do believe this led to more smudges on my crystals than I would have liked. Still looks great though.

I should have cut him off at 2 hours but I let him "work," which included playing his radio loud the whole time. He seemed like a nice guy and his rates were good but when the hours start ticking off it adds up. The problem was never fixed and I had to hire another company to fix it (which two people did in two hours). The problem with my deck lights were that half of them were dim and half were bright. He couldn't seem to figure out what was causing the problem but the company I hired after him knew right away. He also left bits of wire, wire casing, and electrical tape all over the deck and some fell below the deck which I had to clean up. Wish it would have been a different experience.

Chris from Bane Electric came highly recommended by our realtor. At first we were worried that he wouldn't travel from Ashburn to Arlington but he traveled during off peak times to us without charging extra. We had extensive electrical work done in our house (and not the fun kind either). He was sensitive about the price points and recommended what we could easily do ourselves. We had a list of items that needed to be fixed as noted by the home inspection report, and he did a superb job. Immediately he put us to ease and we felt comfortable leaving him in our home alone on the first day. His work was competitively priced. We were so happy that first day, that we immediately hired him again to put up recessed lights in our living room and a ceiling fan in our bedroom for the following week. We are absolutely stunned by the recessed lighting! By all means, get the upgraded recessed lighting! It is incredible and made our modest living room look like a show-home living room. Pros: -He offered us bundle pricing which meant we didn't have to pay by the hour -He works all over the DC metro area -He was reliable (always prompt when returning calls, showing up, or sending quotes) -Very professional and trustworthy -We felt good about supporting a small business owner -He does drywall patching for a nominal fee (I was informed by another contractor that most electricians don't do this!) Cons: -(only minor) but he is cash/check only -After seeing what he could do, we now want more work than we can afford

Process was smooth from start to finish... I was called back very soon after I reached out,…read moreestimate was scheduled and completed quickly. Was easy to have them modify a couple items on the estimate. I had three ceiling fans installed in upstairs bedrooms, two of them at new locations, meaning they had to run wire, install the ceiling fan box, etc. There was no attic which made things a bit more challenging. The team of 2 finished the work in about 4 hours or so ... Ryan made an effort to cut as little drywall as they could, which I very much appreciated. The team wore shoe covers, which I noticed they removed and put back on as they came in and out of the house, and cleaned up after the job very well. Will definitely use them again when I need more electrical work. Update: There was a *very small* issue with one of the fans which I discovered a few weeks after the install, so small that I almost felt bad about asking them to correct it... I contacted Shauwn and he sent someone out almost immediately to fix it. This is a company that stands behind their work! Another plus.

He suggested a method that would save me cost and aggravation in the installation process (viz., the closet housing one of the units had a narrow opening and some other estimators wanted to rip out the door frame, which Mr. Kapur determined was unnecessary.) The pricing of replacement HVACs was competitive and the installation crew was respectful, hard-working and very competent, finishing all of the project in under one day. I am very satisfied with everything Mannix did on my property.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Mannix Heating & Cooling. I contacted the…read morecompany regarding an Aprilaire humidifier recall because my humidifier was not working. As a homeowner, I don't know whether the issue is the recalled electrode, the humidifier itself, the wiring, or the HVAC controls. That's exactly why I hired an HVAC company--to diagnose the problem. Instead, technician Silvio Guerrero immediately stated there would be two separate charges before inspecting a single component. I even suggested we set the recall aside and simply use the visit to diagnose why my humidifier wasn't working. Rather than inspecting anything or explaining what the charges covered, he repeatedly said, "It's two charges," stated he was very busy with other service calls and didn't have time to deal with this, told me to call the office, suggested I hire another company, and left. My HVAC system itself is brand new and working perfectly. My humidifier, however, is wired into the HVAC control board. I was not asking for an HVAC repair--I was asking for my humidifier to be diagnosed. If checking the HVAC control board as part of diagnosing the humidifier required an additional charge, that should have been explained after inspecting the system. Instead, the moment the discussion involved the HVAC control board, it seemed to automatically become a separate charge without anyone even looking at the equipment. What made the experience even worse was management's response. Instead of listening to my concerns, I was told I was "argumentative" and accused of "double dipping." That accusation was both unfair and insulting. I never asked for free work or refused to pay for legitimate diagnostics. I simply expected the technician to inspect the problem, explain what he found, identify what was covered by the recall, explain any additional charges, and then let me decide how to proceed. This entire experience reflected poor communication, impatience, and a lack of professionalism from both the technician and management. Customers deserve a proper diagnosis and a clear explanation before being asked to authorize additional charges--not assumptions, accusations, and a technician who walks away without inspecting the problem. I have completely lost confidence in Mannix Heating & Cooling and will never use this company again.
