In the past few months we have used them several times for all kinds of small electrical jobs we otherwise may not have gotten around to dealing with had Bobbie not been so wonderful to work with. We had an electrical mystery where random things seemed to stop working- Bobbie and the Sievert team kept working on it until it was all resolved. We couldn't be happier!!

I wish I could give Sievert a better review. I purchased a home on James Island and hired Sievert…read moreto completely re-wire the home while I was away for approximately four weeks and the work was completed before I returned to the house. Upon my return to Charleston, the following issues had to be addressed: 1. The fiber optic cable going into the home had been severed by the electricians who had pulled it out of the wall (versus properly unplugging it from the unit). AT&T had to have a service technician re-install the fiber optic cable the next day when I realized I had no Wi-Fi. 2. My heat wasn't working and I couldn't figure out why. After my husband went up into the crawl space the next day, he realized that the furnace's non-fused disconnect had been reconnected improperly (the 2-pole pullout had been reinserted upside down). 3. My dishwasher no longer worked. I called and reported it to the company. Sievert Electrical sent the same two-man crew who had done the job to fix this issue once we complained. The lead crew member told us that the dishwasher was old and needed to be replaced. Okay, sure. We spent $700 on a new dishwasher. Surprise, the new dishwasher wasn't working either. We found out that the problem was that two circuits (one of which was unused, the other connected to the dishwasher) had their neutral wires reversed. The new dishwasher worked immediately after the neutral wires were changed. So essentially we replaced a perfectly good dishwasher for no reason. (Of note, Sievert Electrical never responded to our email indicating we replaced the dishwasher and THEN found out it was an electrical issue, not a dishwasher issue). 4. Multiple electrical outlets had been installed sloppily and were either too recessed from the wall OR were sticking out of the wall such that there was a gap between the wall and the outlet covers. Sievert Electrical sent the same two-man crew to fix this issue once we complained and they fixed the problem. 5. All of the 3-way and 4-way switches were installed improperly and needed to be fixed so that one switch wasn't controlling the other switches (meaning that when I first arrived home, if one switch was in the "off" position, the rest of the switches wouldn't work). Sievert Electrical sent the same two-man crew to fix this issue once we complained. 6. The metal headboard of our bed was dented. Not a big deal because it is mostly on the back side of the headboard so it's not very noticeable when pushed back against the wall. But it would have been nice to have known about this issue before we walked back into the house for the first time in a month. 7. After the two-man crew returned the following week to correct some of the issues above, we noticed that several outlets which HAD been working were now no longer working. This time, Sievert sent a different crew to our house to take a look. They told us that the reason the outlets weren't working was because a wire came loose in a switch box that powered the room's outlets. They fixed the issue. We had a few estimates done for this job and Sievert Electrical was not the lowest. However, we chose this contractor because the gentleman who gave us the estimate was knowledgeable and personable and we felt very confident that the job would be done correctly after we spoke to him. However, given the number of issues we experienced, we would not recommend this contractor or at least not the specific crew who handled our job.

They are an honest and reliable company, plus show up on time when expected. Our 16-yr old unit finally bit the dust. Our technician, Justin, who was very knowledgeable and courteous, came to evaluate the issue, due to the cost of parts to fix the old unit, told us we needed a new one. Installers came within a few days to replace the AC unit. They were all very professional, worked fast and efficiently plus cleaned up the area and left no trace. This was our first experience with 1st Choice and we couldn't be happier! We will be using 1st Choice for everything moving forward.

They were quick to reach out via phone and schedule a site visit to give me a (free) estimate for the work. Let me tell you, most home repair companies that I've dealt with in Charleston have been a bit of a disappointment. It's hard to get people to call you back, or get you information. Transworld was the opposite. They very quickly got a quote over to us and were very helpful and speedy when we wanted to make some changes to the original. The guys came out and did the work last week, and we're super pleased with how everything came out. Transworld will be my go-to for any electric needs, and I will be sure to recommend them to all my buds!

We opted not to get an outdoor kitchen ( which I do love) after having one catch fire in a brand new home we had built in Texas. FYI, the fire was all due to bad installation from the outdoor kitchen people , but it scarred me emotionally enough to only have a grill I can push into the back yard in case of emergency. After being told by first responders that my house would have exploded shortly, I knew we would be ever vigilant should we do this again. Al looked over the area and where the hook up valve was located and offered us sooooo many better options than where the builder had put it. He really knew his business and we were confident that for safety and aesthetics he was exactly the man for the job. And boy was he. He removed the old hook up valve which was poorly installed to start with( yes, this is a new home) and moved it to a much better location with all new hoses, connections and everything else needed for the job. Talk about a difference. He also had every tool for the job so there was no running back and forth to the store or back to the business. That was really nice. Carson, his apprentice was also incredibly helpful and found the wire needed in the grill to hook up to the starter. We were afraid that Lowe's wouldn't get there for the delivery in time and we would have to pay for another service call, but they made it just as they were finishing! A job WELL done!! Soooo, how do you like your steak?

Well that's where my fiber connection is as well so my internet/cable was out. I tried flipping breakers and searching for GFI's to no avail when I decided to call the pros. I found a post on Park Circle Chatter and recommendations for Charleston Electrical Services were strong. It was late in the day so they set me up to have someone come out first thing the next morning. They came and checked things out and it was taking a while before he called the boss to come out as well. I was getting nervous at this point because there were now 3 electricians in the house and the first guy had been there for quite a while. I was expecting the bill to just be creeping up higher and higher and we still hadn't fixed the problem. Then the owner who came out asked me about a switch on the wall that I have a cover over... and a light bulb went off (pun intended). We have a switch that will turn off that whole circuit if you have lamps plugged in, but we put a cover over the switch so it won't mess with the TV/internet. Well the house cleaner didn't realize and switched it off looking for a light switch. Major facepalm for me because I had totally forgotten about that switch as we haven't flipped it in years. The owner was super nice and didn't charge me the full amount since the first guy didn't think to check for a switch like that. He also replaced the plug since it was a bit old anyway and he was already there. The price I ended up paying for a mornings worth of electricians trouble shooting in my house was very reasonable and because of their integrity in a situation like that, they will be my first call when something actually does go wrong.

After about 30 minutes I got a text saying service call charge was $79, but would be applied to any repair costs and to call them for an appointment. I called and explained the issue, but was told someone would call me back to schedule. Over an hour went by and no one called me, so I called back. Appointment was set and David B. showed up timely; he was professional and friendly. He determined my fan was dead and roughly estimated $500 to replace. Seemed like an expensive bandaid for a 14 year-old unit, so I decided best to just replace it. Next day Travis B. came to give me an estimate for a new unit. He was on time, friendly and professional. Gave me a quote before he left and it was just under $6K for new Ruud 14 seer unit. They took the $79 service call cost off the total (after I reminded them). Two days later the installers showed up on time to get my AC going. They were professional and it took them about 8 hours to complete the job. HVAC has worked fine since install. Only negative is they dripped something on my garage floor (I assume oil from the old air handler unit or from the lift they used to install the new one) that stained the floor all the way across my garage. I initially thought it was just water and would dry/disappear, but nearly two weeks later it's still there. But at least I have cold air!
