Luis is quite the knowledgeable electrician, but what I want to highlight in this review is his…read moreintegrity, which in my opinion is the most important aspect in working with someone. After some initial miscommunications about the job, things didn't quite turn out the way I hoped, but Luis, the company owner came out himself to make sure things were resolved. And even though the scope of the project increased, he insisted on completing the job at the original rate (although I'm not going to let him, because the scope had increased substantially, and that is clearly my own doing). When working with someone new, it's always a toss up on how things will go when unexpected difficulties arise, and I'm very pleased in how Luis does business. Six-stars! UPDATE: the job is done and we are awaiting inspection this week. The pictures speak for themselves. We are extremely satisfied with our Tesla Wall connector Gen 3 installation. Luis went up and over our garage with EMT to get to the nearby panel. He had to upgrade a breaker to a double pole 60A breaker and also had to update the breaker that goes to the subpanel in the main panel to 100A. Tesla had sent us a bad wall connector the first time around and advised us remotely that the electrical work done was perfect and that all power levels were as expected. Luis insisted on coming out himself anyhow to double check everything even though I assured him it was Teslas wall connector. Sure enough the wiring was perfect and when the new wall connector arrived I popped it on and everything worked like magic.

Excellent communication and initially a fair estimate…read more However, the following day the technician arrived an hour late to do the work. I was quoted $200 to install a Blink Wired Floodlight Camera and Blink Video Doorbell. Then, upon realizing there was no power to the light switch, the technician just left my old wires exposed after removing the old outdoor light fixture. Just moved in, so I wasn't sure what was going on with that switch. So I asked if he could fix it, while he was here. His response was "he had to call his boss to get an estimate and that it had to be done another day because it was too late." At this point the technician offered to install the Blink Video Doorbell for $100. I guess in his mind, it was half the work, so half the price... Again, I was given an estimate in person, the day before for installation of both. The Video Doorbell is maybe 1/8th of an inch off center. He did a decent enough job. For $100 to drill two holes, I would've liked it dead center. Then the next morning I received an email with an estimate for $525, to fix the power and install the floodlight.

Alfa power and has team of workers. Awesome my job was a very large job and you need a team of people. Never hire an electrician who does not have a team of people who can come in and get the job done within a reasonable time frame. Alpha power electric came in and did an amazing job. They passed the DC inspection and they did the work on schedule. They also corrected some issues that I had from my prior electrician. Some of my circuit breaker amperages did not equal the amperage on the electrical outlet. For example I had a 20 amp breaker and a 15 amp electrical outlet. They corrected these issues and I realize that I made a mistake with my prior electrician. But my prior electrician installed them without letting me know that they were inconsistent. Alpha power electric corrected these and other items and they did it in a very reasonable time. All in all I give them a five out of five stars for their honesty, dedication and friendly service. I trust him 100%. A lot of these electrical companies you call and they are horrible. Being able to trust your electrician is one of the most important things in terms of fixing your projects. Making sure that they show up on time, making sure they get the work done correctly, and making sure that they will follow through and complete the job. I trust this company. I'm going to recommend Alpha power electric to all my family and friends. Also the value for the service was very fair.

I found Harris Electrical, saw they were a local DC company with great reviews, and decided to reach out. I texted the numbers listed and learned they're brothers, Mike and Max Harris, carrying on the business their dad started. I texted them at 6 a.m. and got an immediate response. They asked for pictures of the breaker and the issue, diagnosed it quickly, and offered same-day service. Communication was incredibly easy and clear, all by text. Max arrived right on time, identified the short, and fixed it efficiently. They were professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and honestly just great to work with. I can't speak more highly of them. This is exactly the kind of trustworthy local business you want in DC. Highly recommend Harris Electrical.

As a Property Manager and Facilities Manager, I have used Wilcox Electric multiple times over the…read moreyears for the commercial and residential properties that I represent. I have always been very happy with the quality of their work. If you are a Property or Facilities Manager, Wilcox is an excellent partner that will leave you looking good! My experience is that they do high quality work, offer appropriate pricing, easy scheduling and are staffed by professionals in both the field and in the office. This review is because I recently had them do work at my own home and I am beyond happy. I've used them for small personal projects in the past but this time I brought them in to do larger work including a 200 amp heavy up and adding a dedicated circuit for a new stove. They knocked it out of the park! When our home was inspected for purchase 12 years ago, the inspector mentioned that our panel could be a concern. It took me this long to address it. A few months ago Dale performed panel maintenance and helped me understand so much about the power in my home that I decided to have Wilcox come back to do a 200 amp heavy up. Jermaine and Daniel did that work and did a fantastic job. I am so happy with the outcome. Lastly, Nick W came out and installed a dedicated circuit to install a new stove and did a wonderful job. Since I'm a curious customer who asks a lot of questions, he showed me all the components inside the panel and explained what they did. Now, for the first time since we bought the place, I feel absolutely confident in the safety of the power in my home. Based on my recent experiences, I'm planning to have them come back later this year to add some outlets to the exterior of the home and also run power out to my shed. Everyone I have dealt with from scheduling with the office to communicating about estimates and the onsite visits have been top notch. Their staff is professional, knowledgeable and have helped me understand the process at every step. You can rest easy if you choose Wilcox Electric for your project. They're great!

Competent but very expensive. I had them move my home's electrical panel. They underbid the other…read moreoutfit by half, but then took almost three times as long as estimated, ending up charging more than the competing bid. The complex project was accomplished successfully, on the other hand. More recently, I called them up about troubleshooting a couple flaky GFCI breakers. The owner came out immediately (an hour later!) and I learned a lot from him about breakers. On the other hand, he came out without any spare breakers and had to make a run to Home Depot, so I ended up being charged 1.5 hours at $237 an hour (usually time past the first hour is something like $70 extra), so much more expensive than alternatives. So a solid outfit, but not my first choice.

The crew was friendly and professional, cleaning up as they go, with minimal collateral dust or damages. They patched up behind them and left us with a very easy few finishing touches for the painters. Overall, a fantastic value with quality that exceeded our vision and we are incredibly pleased with the end product.

Of course, he showed up, social distancing measures - mask, wore booties (quality ones), came in and immediately identified and fixed the source of my electrical issues. In the process, educated me about what the issue was. Most importantly, fairest prices you can find - no gimmicks!! Richard - thank you for being an exceptional electrician and servicing my issues.

They also gave us alternatives that were more affordable to our budget. They had to work in a rather cramped space to reach our breaker and they were very positive about it. Overall, the entire experience was great! This business is one you can definitely trust to take care of your needs. Juan and Danny also made sure to tidy up anything they had to move (as it was in their ways o:) and were very polite and personable in their exchange. They were accommodating to our schedule too!
