First, if you're having electric problems, I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's not going to be a…read morecheap fix. The best you can hope for is that it won't be a devastating cost. Electricians are far more technically skilled than most of the people who will come work on your house. Also, electricity is really dangerous, and there are a lot of overhead costs. So when the electricians flips you a $150 bill for 30 minutes (or whatever), he's probably not cheating you. This coming from someone who has worked on jobs with electricians AND hates spending money on this kind of stuff. Anyway, my AC went out last night, along with the power in about 1/4 of my house, and it's predicted to be 107 today. I spent five years doing residential remodeling, so I knew not to try to mess with electric myself outside of basic troubleshooting. So, I gathered as much information about the problem as I could, then called three electricians this morning. Shields was the only one who called back. He left another job and was at my house within an hour or two. I told him I was on a budget and had some DIY experience. There's really not a lot of corners to cut with electricity, but he was great. He walked through everything with me, explaining what went wrong, what to do if it happens again, etc. He fixed it, and my AC is back on...just as it's really heating up outside. Finally, as others have mentioned, Jeff is just a pleasant guy to be around. I'll definitely be calling him again if I have any more problems, or if I need any electric work done (I will). Note to other reviewers: the electricians that didn't call me back must be busy. Most residential electricians are independent contractors, meaning they don't have receptionists to tell you they don't have time for your job. It doesn't make sense to leave one star reviews, as a couple people have done for this company, and you are hurting family run businesses because of your inconvenience. If you feel a burning need to convey your experience, you might consider giving 3 stars, since you didn't actually talk to anyone, and it's unfortunate you gave one star to a good company. But really, you should leave messages for a few of them at the same time and hire the first one who is available (assuming you've already vetted all three).

My friend and I together have owned two older mobile homes a while. Babying these gentrified…read moreladies has always been a chore, but recently we found ourselves at the end of the rope when we learned both homes were in serious need of urgent electrical repairs involving most aspects of the circuitry and also the power lines running between the park's pedestal and our panels. 50 years of cutting and patching wires had finally come to a head. Good electricians seem to be in short supply these days so finding a good one can be hard, but finding one with experience in the unique ends and outs of older mobile home wiring was turning out to be mission impossible. We had to find a good electrical firm who knew all the permits required and the agencies involved, and who could discern matters that are the park's concerns from those of owners and handle the ones belonging to both particularly when some involve the local utility company. It was a real mission. We are so happy to have found Four Ace Electrical Services. They have the know how and helped us to stage the complex work within our limited budget. They obtained the permits needed, worked with the park manager on the pedestal connection, and got the job done repairing our homes' circuits, establishing safe power connections, rewiring our antiquated panels, and safely reworking the A/C connection. For the first time in so many years we are no longer guessing and feel safe in our homes from electrical worries. All thanks to the diligent team in Four Ace Electrical Services! They are heros to us little ole ladies! We highly recommend them to mobile home owners without hesitation.

The work was satisfactory. The time to get service was good. The price was ridiculous…read more I used this company about 6 months ago to run a new line for a new install of a flood camera. That job took 2 guys 1/2 day including crawling in the crawlspace attic and the price was in the $700s as I remember. I was very impressed with the work, crew and price. I had a backyard dusk to dawn light that needed replaced. I provided the $50 light and called Rick again. He could do the job the next day, but advised me his fee just to come out and look had increased from $99, to $149 because of gas and inflation. That fee is NOT waived even if you hire them. When the worker came out, he gave a quote of $474 including the $149. That's an additional $325 to swap an old light for a new light I provided. I went ahead and did it even though it was ridiculous just because they get you that way knowing you're already out the $149 if you still go find someone else. The worker was done within 30 minutes. Thirty minutes for close to $500 for one guy. Even with inflation, that's an insane increase in a handful of months for less difficult work, less time and only 1 electrician. Rick contacted me the following night to ask if I was satisfied. I told him the work was fine but I was very dissatisfied with the price. Never heard back from him. Would not recommend.
