I needed an extra outlet - so I could plug in a central vacuum power head - and it wasn't in the…read moreright spot. So I call "another" company that had good Yelp ratings and explain the job. Simple enough - cut a hole in the drywall next to the stud, hang a single gang box, connect the power wires that are already in the wall one foot away, splice and cap, push it back in and done. Hour job, max. Ground floor, tile floor, easy peasy. Price? Well, that will be a "minimum charge" of $225. What? Really? Go back to Yelp and Next Door. Read all the reviews - hmm, Dwell Electric. Oh wait, I know Jason B, and it's his dad, and they are good people. Check that box. So I call and get Paul on the line. He's in the middle of a job, so he asks to call me back. He does. He can be over not tomorrow, but Wednesday. Does that work? Of course it does. 1pm? Perfect. Paul shows up 15 minutes early. Gets greeted by two large German Shepherds, whom he loves and pets and who follow him like trained assistants. Takes a look, says yes, easy job to do. Price? $125 - perfect. Let's go. Opens the wall - wait, their are wires but they aren't hot. What? Checks all the breakers and panels. Hmmm. Apparently when the house was built no one bothered to connect the power for all the 'direct connect central vacuum lines". Darn. That explains why the direct connect wouldn't work and why I'm having an extra outlet installed....Oh well - Paul's like, let's just connect power from over "here" (light switches) in the wall and do some extra work and wiring and maneuvering - ok, no problem, let me know if the cost goes up...Nope. No worries. Job completed in 30 minutes tops. Looks great. Still $125. Paul is an honest business person who charges a fair price and can handle anything from outlets to can lighting installation to complete home projects. He works almost exclusively in the Encinitas - Carlsbad area, so he's local and available and has two other guys just like him at Dwell. Give them a call and you'll be glad you did. I guarantee it, and so do my dogs.

She called the Godfrey Fire Dept. who could not find any problem but, immediately after, the lights in her dining room quit working. Then a family member tried to remedy the problem but, to no avail. After assessing the problem, Bickle Electric informed me they were 3 months out on service and repairs which was no problem. A few days later, a service rep named Christian showed up at my mom's house. He was incredibly friendly, patient, and professional with my mom. He listened to her story, then quickly located the problem and repaired it. The final bill was FAR below what we expected. Overall, it was a great experience!! I HIGHLY recommend Bickle Electric!!

I was lying on the couch late one night and our electrical box decided to spit sparks out at me…read more Pretty scary! We got a recommendation from a family friend for Gardner Electrical Services. The next morning JR from Gardner was at our house by 10:30am to take a look. Unfortunately, the whole box and breakers needed to be replaced. He was able to fix it up so we could keep important things running temporarily until they were able to come make the repairs. We received a quote via email by 3pm that day and had a serviceman out to do the work by 8:30am the next day. The whole job was complete by 11:30am (he was quick!) with no messes left and very minimal wall damage (which was expected to be much worse.) I am no electrical expert, but I would say the quality of work was excellent. We also felt that we paid a very fair price that was actually less than we anticipated. All members of the Gardner Electric staff that we encountered were professional, understanding, honest, and efficient. I highly recommend them for your residential electrical needs.

The electrician accidentally cut my Internet cable. I had to pay to have my Internet provider come out and put a new cable in. When I asked for this price to be taken off of my bill from Kay Bee, I received a letter stating that I would not be reimbursed for this amount. The reason being that the electrician claimed I had asked him to cut all of the low voltage wires. Sad to say that that is not what I asked him to do, and very frustrating that Kay Bee won't take responsibility for their mistake.
