When the florescent light in my bathroom started flickering wildly, I was hoping I could replace it…read moremyself with a plug-and-play light tube. Unfortunately I discovered I couldn't remove it, so I put out a request for an electrician on Yelp. I received four responses, but Mikhail was the only one who was willing to talk to me over the phone. We set up an appointment the following morning, and he was punctual. Mikhail assessed I have a ballast which required dismantling the fixture and inserting a ballast bypass tube. He did the entire job in about 25 minutes because he bought the necessary 48-inch tube beforehand. He even helped clean my dusty ceiling ventilator. Total cost was $200. I'd definitely recommend him for handy jobs beyond the grasp of an electrical luddite. Yes, I'm talking about me. RELATED - Interested in other services I found on Yelp Project?

Mikhail was exceedingly polite and extremely quick to respond requiring an issue I had with two…read morewall mounted lights in the living room. As it turned out, I missed the most obvious fix: two simultaneously failing bulbs... Mikhail quickly diagnosed the issue (and my stupidity) with more grace than I deserved. He did not charge me for his visit which I thought was super classy. Would highly recommend!

Had a positive experience with Max Electric and everything went smoothly. Both the initial…read moreinspection (unfortunately didn't get the name of who did it) and the actual work were great. Rigo did a great job with the 3 things I had done: replacing an electrical panel, replacing 2 light fixtures, and installing a smoke alarm. He was on time, knowledgable, and efficient. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest option around but with something like this, quality and experience matters and they did a great job and handle permits and such. They did exactly what I asked them to do and were responsive over email and able to ask the exact questions they needed which made things seamless. This is not necessarily a bad thing but they could have probably done some kind of "walk through" around the place and found some additional work for me. Upselling is obviously not always a great practice but in my case, there were some things that I wish I had done and I think they could have suggested them and left it up to me to say yes/no to during the initial inspection. For example my kitchen could definitely use at least 1 additional outlet, I should have probably replaced a 3rd light, and so on. I do respect that they don't try to take you on a ride but since it is probably efficient to do things all at once, may have been helpful to discuss (this was also my bad for not noticing these things before). Rigo did a bunch of smaller things that made a big difference too like taking out the packaging for the lights and the old ones as well as the old electrical panel, clearly labeling all the switches very neatly which was not well done before, answering my questions and explaining things in a way that I (someone with little knowledge about most of this stuff) would understand.

Tech showed up and pointed at stuff and tried to scare us into a $20,000 whole house rewiring job…read more Then offered to rewire a working outlet for $700 (going rate is like $250) but said that he couldn't do it for more than a week. Told us we wouldn't be charged for his time but we got a $400 bill for "diagnostics and troubleshooting." On top of this, communication was a mess. Manager called me at 6pm on a Friday and couldn't get two words together, not sure if he was high or just exhausted but it was a super unprofessional call and left me with more questions than answers. Finally got some clarity in an email, but jeez what a mess. Maybe their work quality is good, but I won't be sticking around to find out. I'll be working with someone who is more up front about their work, better at communicating, and doesn't charge so much.

I have a problem connecting a photographic enlarger that runs on 220 in my darkroom. I called for…read moreconsultation from Bit Electrical and offered to pay for help. The electrical supply houses couldn't help me because the connecting plug to the equipment didn't look like it would fit a standard 220 plug. Bit Electrical asked for pictures, which I sent him. He gave me the answer I needed within 5 minutes. Now I can go and purchase the correct connector. When I offered to send Bit Electrical a check for his help he said, "Not necessary." We need more businesses like Bit Electrical in this world!

Incredibly, they were a no-show twice in a row, with basically zero proactive communication. Avoid…read more First, they messaged they could do the job a day after initial contact (Wednesday), gave me a time they'd be there, then simply never showed up. After messaging them about it, they said they forgot to schedule the actual appointment (!). Next, they scheduled an appointment for Thursday, when they showed up said they couldn't do the job as they didn't bring enough time and need additional components. Left again, rescheduled to Monday (!). And, lo and behold, no-show again on Monday. After 45 mins, I called their office and they simply said something got in the way and they can't help it. Honestly shockingly bad. Can't rate their actual service as I've never received it, just empty promises.

Gavin did an awesome job upgrading our bathroom lights.

So happy with his work and understanding what I wanted to get done. Easy to talk to and was able to…read moreget the project I wanted down in a timely manner. Very knowledgeable and it shows with his work. He installed a security light on the side of my house and flood/security light in my back yard. Also I asked if he can install some outlets in the garage and had them done the same day. Anyone needing a great-good priced electrician. Give Steen Electric a call! Also he backs his work up. One outlet went out and came the same week to have it fixed. A fuse he switched out at box was changed by mistake. Easy fix! Thank you again Charlie! Will be contacting you again for some lights I need installed soon.

We got a free quote from Saul to fix some electrical issues in our home. It's a 1950s house, and…read morethe wiring in the garage was pretty messy--the gas furnace was tied into the ceiling lights, and the washing machine was connected to the upstairs outlets. We also asked Saul to properly rewire the furnace and to add a C wire so we could install a Nest thermostat. He explained everything clearly, including the possibility of needing to open up some drywall, but said he would try to keep any damage to a minimum. They did a fantastic job. Everything feels much safer now, and the work was done really cleanly. We're very happy with the results and will definitely call him again for future electrical work.

I coordinated with Saul to have 4 outlets grounded. Saul's partner arrived on time and was…read moreprofessional during the visit. They opened the outlet and found that the wiring was knob-and-tube, which meant replacing the four outlets with GFCIs was not an effective solution, so no work was performed. My main issue was with the billing and communication. Before scheduling, I was told that an estimate and diagnosis would be free. However, after determining that the work could not be completed as originally discussed, I was still charged $150 for the visit. I understand compensating someone for their time and travel. That said, I wish the diagnostic fee had been clearly communicated upfront, especially since the original message specifically mentioned a free diagnosis. The lack of clarity around pricing was frustrating.
