Dodrill Electric was hired to convert  old 2 wire electrical  to 3 wire (w/ground) and replace all…read more the receptacles about 2 years ago. My brother recently discovered when he was remolding  that the  "Licensed Electrician" Dale illegally spliced the 3 wire into the old 2 wiring system by connecting the ground into the old Neutral wires not even using a junction box. This type of work is deplorable and put my brother in his family at risk to an electrical fire.  Dodrill refused to correct. The wiring has since been replaced (not by Dodrill).

The service wire from NIPSCO that goes from the pole in the alley to my house was pulled out of the…read moreanchor at the house and was barely hanging on so the wire was drooping in my backyard to the point where I had to duck to walk underneath it. NIPSCO said that I needed an electrician to reattach the wire as it was not their responsibility to do such work. Enter Chris and Kurt - what a team! They work very well together and assessed my problem and gave me two estimates. They suggested to me that I go with option one and gave me a 1 year guarantee that if that didn't hold, they'd come back and provide option 2 and give me credit for what I already paid. They were very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all my questions. I'm very satisfied with the work they did and think their pricing was quite reasonable. I'm very glad to recommend them and kudos to the company for having these 2 guys working for them!

Although I have not hired yet just beware I have had several companies quote and they are the only…read moreones that charge a cost to come out to quote a project. That kind of tells me they will be overpriced. They did not tell me of they charge until they were out. I paid it but it seems a little weird. I will update when I see the quote, but right now for that it will be a 1 star. Adding on to this in response to peyton email. Thank you for your response and for refunding the $69 dispatch fee. I do want to clarify that I had no issue at all with your technician. He was very professional, and my review was not intended as a criticism of him or the service he provided while at my home. My concern was with the dispatch fee. Whether it was mentioned during the scheduling call or not, my underlying point was that I have had several contractors come to my home to quote work and have not encountered a separate dispatch fee simply to provide an estimate. As I stated, I also intended to revisit my review after the process was complete. Based on the professionalism of your technician and the fact that I felt your quote was reasonable, I would have given your company a much higher rating. That is why I find the decision to simply decline the work somewhat surprising. Rather than discussing my concern and allowing the overall experience to play out, you have chosen not to even consider moving forward with the project. From a customer's perspective, declining work because someone questioned a fee and expressed an opinion about it does not come across as particularly professional. I appreciate the refund, but I wanted to make sure my position was clear. My concern was never with your technician or the quality of his interaction with me. In fact, his professionalism and your reasonable quote had left me with a much more positive impression of your company before receiving this response.

Great service and very knowledgeable. Very personable. I would call again in a heartbeat.read more

Duane and what I think is his son came out the next morning for me on very short notice. The service was efficient and professional ,however, as with all electricians was pricey.

If you have to call an electrician, these two guys are where it's at. Also, no credit cards accepted, cash or check only.

Foster Electric is GREAT!! My home is over 100 years old and needed to be hardwired for a security…read moresystem with three exterior cameras, and two video doorbells. I knew it wasn't going to be a quick and easy job. My primary concern was that the wiring wouldn't be visible, which would detract from my home's appearance. It was raining on the scheduled installation date, and I fully expected a call from Foster asking to reschedule. To my complete surprise, Nate and Joe showed up promptly on time, ready to tackle the task. The siding material on my house is thick, hard as a rock and pretty tough to drill through. It took a full day and a good part of the following morning. In the end, the job they did was BEAUTIFUL. Not a wire to be seen anywhere, and no mess left behind. Need electrical done? Forget the rest and hire the best. Call Foster Electric. I'm sure glad I did and will again.

Later, another electrician correctly diagnosed the problem to be on the pole and nipsco came and fixed. Then, they never sent a bill. Made sense to me, probably embarrassed. Nope. I started getting nasty messages from the real sweet lady that handles the books. And finally a bill arrives w the threat of a lawsuit and a mechanics lien. Funny thing, they never checked but I rent the place. Anyway, I have a mid 700 credit score. I pay my bills on time. And will pay this one. But now I'm inspired to share my story and hopefully save anyone else from dealing with them.
