If I had to pick 3 words...knowledgeable , friendly, and fast! Totally a great experience! Solved my outlet problem and moved a thermostat in an older house where the electric can be weird. Not the biggest or most complicated job in the world but I definitely appreciate First Calls approach and a timely appointment. Thanks to Nick!!! read more

Nick at First Call was responsive. His work seemed good, but he wasn't the primary electrician. His workers did most of the work and are learning interns at best which is scary when dealing with electrical work. They are messy and don't clean up after themselves. We have lighting flickers and surges from the work that they completed that was not present before they came. I would not recommend. read more

Working with Nick was super convenient. He was literally at my house checking out my AC within 12 hours of requesting a quote. I called because my thermostat was blowing warm air while it was supposed to be cooling the house. He ran diagnostics on everything, was SUPER thorough, leaving no stone unturned, and at the end of it, confirmed that it was my Nest thermostat that was the issue. He could have easily assumed that it was the Nest but he confirmed that all the wires were working, that the blower control panel was functioning, and that the heat pump outside was cooling. A few days later and I received a replacement for my thermostat, and there you go, my AC was working again. Definitely recommend and will reach out again if something goes wrong in the future. read more

With our first heatwave of the season, naturally my AC went down... I called Nick at 4pm and he was able to be there the next morning @ 8am to fix it. One night in heat was all for us. He was super polite, quick and a hardworking small business owner. Within 1 hour, he had my system fixed and running. I only missed 30 minutes of work! Before I called Nick, I called Woodfin. What a different situation. They told me that they couldn't even put me on a schedule - sometime between 9 and 5, they said! I'm a busy person with a 6 month old. I don't have time to wait around all day or sacrifice work days - that baby runs my schedule. Because of that, I let them politely know that they couldn't fit the my needs as a customer. Next on the list was Nick. He didn't disappoint. read more

I have several properties in the West End of Richmond and in the middle of the winter a tenant called and said they were having problems. Turned out a motor and board needed to be replaced. I called several companies and each said emergency rates would apply and they were crazy high, others said it would take several days. FCE really lived up to their name, First Call. Save yourself some time and call these guys. Trust worthy and reliable. read more

Arrived on time, and very pleasant, knowledgeable, and completed our job quickly. Reasonably priced too! We will definitely contact Nick again for future electrical work. I highly recommend him. Great job! read more

We found out about Nick (First Call Electric) through an Amazon deal he was running. He was booked up for a few weeks out but offered to come by on a Sunday morning to hang a ceiling fan and fix a broken light switch for us. Super nice guy. He did a great job and even replaced the light switch at no charge even though hanging the fan took the full two hours we had pre-paid for. I can recommend Nick's services highly enough. He is ambitious and motivated and even tolerated our four dogs. read more

First Call Electric's Nick came by to do a maintenance check of the A/C. He was on time and efficient, didn't try to sell products or services I didn't need and wore shoe covers before stepping on the carpet. I would also call him for electrical work. read more

I was having an issue with an outlet in my kitchen. I got in touch with First Call Electric and, within an hour, had an appointment scheduled.

Nick is great - super fast to respond, fast to arrive. Honest and straightforward, does the job quickly and well. Highly recommend over the "big guys" here. read more

Called Nick in relation to my AC. He gave straight forward answers, and suggested multiple solutions based upon on what we were trying to achieve. Great work at a super competitive price. Called Nick back weeks later in relation to an AC unit that he didn't install or maintain. Gave me solutions for my son and I to fix ourselves and we did so. I won't call anyone else for HVAC or electrical. read more

My air conditioner went out unexpectedly, and I located First Call Electric here on Yelp. Nick told me he could probably get out to my house that day, or at the latest the following day. Needless to say when he called and said he could be there by 1:30 that same afternoon I was thrilled. Unfortunately, he gave me the bad news that I would need a new unit, but he was reliable and trustworthy and said he could get to it in a very reasonable amount of time. I would definitely recommend his business. read more

Outstanding responsiveness and support! If you're looking for a fair, honest HVAC company to support you - these are the guys to call. I reviewed multiple HVAC companies to see what others said. It was clear that the big brand names (the guys you see advertising on TV) are both more expensive and less dependable. First Call was clearly head and shoulders above the others. I was not disappointed - Nick showed up on time and was extremely professional. I will absolutely use First Call in the future. read more

Wired for a garbage disposal, repaced receptacles and under cabinet lighting and dimmer switch, installed a ceiling fan on our screen porch, and serviced our air conditioning unit! Professional, couteous, focused and conscientious! All for a very reasonable price! We will definitely have you do all future electrical and AC service! Thanks FCE! read more

I found a groupon so decided to give First Call Electric a shot. I am so glad I did! Nick was professional, courteous and flexible. He was fantastic at communicating with me and scheduling a time that was convenient for me. He not only performed the job he was initially contracted for, but also wired a new light and switch in my laundry room while he was here! His prices are competitive and he is licensed, bonded and insured. I will be calling him again to wire some ceiling fixtures for me! Highly recommend! read more

Nick (the owner of First Call Electric) came out to my home today to install a new and much needed light on my back deck. He was awesome! He was great to communicate with, showed up on time, did a great job for me, and was friendly and professional. I have an older home (built in 1950) and it can be quirky. Installing the light on my back deck ended up being more complex and complicated than it would have normally been due to some strange construction inside my walls but Nick tackled the project like a pro and was determined to make it work so that I could have my light and the new switch where I wanted them. He quite obviously cared a great deal about the quality of his workmanship and he cared about my home which meant a lot to me. He was very fairly priced and was patient when my strange home caused the job to require extra effort. Nick went above and beyond by modifying a part I purchased from Lowes so that it would work for the job and be aesthetically pleasing. I will be using him again in the near future for some other work I need to have done and would highly recommend him to anybody - he really is fantastic. Class A Contractor and Five Star Service...give him a call, you'll be happy you did! read more

First Call Electric is fantastic! We had Nick out to our home a few months ago to troubleshoot an electrical problem which he diagnosed and fixed within 15 minutes of arriving. Given his prompt service and professionalism, we have been queuing a list of electrical fixes for him. We scheduled an appointment with him, and found his customer service to continue to be exceptional. He is highly professional, calls ahead to confirm the date/time of the appointment, checks in the morning of the service call, and arrives exactly on time. He navigated through our "punch list" of electrical items thoroughly, completing everything and explaining all items with us. We will continue to use FCE, and recommend them highly. read more

I first contacted Nick through the yelp email and he responded within a few hours. We set up an appointment the next day on a Sat which was more convenient for me. He was on time, friendly and very professional. Nick gave me an estimate before he came out and even though the job took longer than expected, he kept to the original amount. We loved Nick and are having him come back again for more work on our house. Don't hesitate to call him!! read more
