We now have Bell Electric of Blacksburg on speed dial for our multiple electrical-related needs. They provide Quality work at a fair price because it lasts and is safe. From a landlord's perspective: Bell Electric has been involved with complete replacement of wiring from the external gang boxes to the most routine of outlets. Our top requirement when completely gutting poorly maintained properties we purchased was to make them safe. Number two was to avoid having to repair the work we just had done. They have installed over a dozen ceiling fans for us, and they have generally stayed balanced for five years or more. They have zoomed over in freezing rain in the middle of a winter night to deal with what could have been a serious electrical hazard with a vintage electric meter as the power entered the apartment building. It was made safe temporarily while parts were ordered. They have juggled their work to meet the often confusing schedules associated with working around other contractors and other variables during a major project. When they finish the punch list, it is generally really completely finished with a very, very rare need for a callback. Other contractors seem to respect them and work well with them. They have continually dealt with the idiosyncracies of the home warranty company's requirements. They have been involved with advising us about situations at our home as well as our rental properties so much that we now call them when we have jobs for our other businesses requiring licensed electricians to be included in our bids. What we really appreciate is that we have never seen them cut any corners. All materials they provide have been of durable, safe quality. They are on very good terms with the building inspectors because they try to always do things safely and to code. If something can be done safely at a lower cost, they will suggest that. If a little more expense will increase durability, they will mention that as well, saving us much money and aggravation in the long run. My only issue is that like most electricians (no matter what company or if a handyman doing odd jobs) they can not seem to figure out the value of carrying a tarp to stand on when clipping wires so they can contain those little snippings and other stray bits of trash. It would take about 2 minutes longer per spot they are working on and save me much time cleaning up afterwards. As you can tell my complaints are pretty minor. I highly recommend Bell Electric of Blacksburg. read more
