Very disappointing experience. I would not hire this electrician again…read more I hired Andrew and his team to rewire a house during a major renovation. Unfortunately, the project became extremely frustrating because of poor workmanship, repeated scheduling problems, poor material management, and a lack of follow-through. 1. Work repeatedly had to be checked and corrected. After I was told the rough-in work was finished, I found multiple wires still not properly connected at the electrical panel and several outlets without power. I reported the issues and was told they would be fixed, but after multiple return visits, I was still finding unresolved problems. The HVAC/heat-pump wiring was another example. The indoor unit required 208/230V, but it was connected incorrectly. I specifically brought this to Andrew's attention. He told me they needed to check the manufacturer label, even though the required voltage was clearly printed on the unit. Later I was told it had been corrected. Because of the previous problems, I checked it myself again and found that it was still only getting approximately 110V. They had to come back yet again. What bothered me most was that I could not rely on being told that something was "finished." I repeatedly had to go to the property myself, test the work, take pictures, and report the same or additional problems. 2. Poor material and job-site management. During rough-in, light fixtures that were intended to be installed later were left at the construction site while many other trades were still working. By the time we reached the trim stage, some fixtures could not be located and others were dirty, so I had to purchase additional fixtures. The electrical panel cover was also not installed and later could not be found. I eventually had to purchase another panel/cover just to get the correct cover. 3. Scheduling was extremely unreliable. Before the trim stage, I specifically asked Andrew how much advance notice he needed. He told me about one week. I scheduled approximately 10 days in advance. Despite that, the trim work dragged on for more than two weeks. On one scheduled Friday, I took the entire day off because his crew was supposed to come in the morning. Nobody showed up in the morning. Someone finally arrived in the afternoon, looked around, accomplished very little, and left. Similar scheduling problems happened repeatedly. Yet later I was told that the delays were because I had not scheduled early enough, which did not match our written messages. 4. Even minor inspection corrections took far too long. After the inspection, only relatively small corrections remained. Instead of resolving them promptly, different people came to the property multiple times, and the process dragged on for roughly two months before everything was finally completed. 5. The final stage was especially frustrating. My house was preparing to go on the market, so I repeatedly explained that completing the electrical work was time-sensitive. Instead of focusing on resolving the outstanding issues, near the end I was told that I needed to pay the remaining contract balance before they would continue the work. This was particularly frustrating because throughout the project, whenever Andrew sent me an invoice for completed work, I paid promptly. I was not someone who had repeatedly failed to pay him. I understand that renovation projects can have unexpected issues and that mistakes can happen. My problem was not one isolated mistake. It was the pattern: work being called finished when it was not, me discovering problems myself, repeated return visits, poor scheduling, missing materials, and a lack of ownership when problems needed to be corrected. I have photos and text-message records documenting the timeline and many of the issues described above. Based on my experience, I would not use this company again.

As a part of a large outdoor remodel, Pure Power was responsible for all of the electrical work…read moreincluding installation of a Bluetooth-controlled HPC fire pit with emergency stop switch, multiple outdoor outlets, and multiple Bluetooth-controlled color light fixtures including wall sconces and ceiling flush mounts (18 feet high). Pure Power also has great design sense and provided recommendations on placement. Work was of the highest quality and completed very quickly. Pricing is reasonable. Karlin is very thoughtful and a great communicator. Pure Power will always be my go-to electrician going forward. I'm so glad my general contractor strongly recommended Pure Power as their primary electrician.

In 2018, Karlin installed two AFCI/GFCI circuit breakers that I had previously purchased, for…read more$203.50 per his estimate. This seemed reasonable to me. He acted professionally, and he even let me watch him install the new breakers. My only minor concern is he only hand tightened the screws "good and tight", instead of tightening them according to the 36(inch pounds) specification that was written on the breaker installation instructions, and on the new breakers themselves, when he installed the new breakers. Karlin said that this is the common practice among electricians and that very few, if any, bother to follow the inch pound torque standard when tightening circuit breakers. Also, it would have required use of a special expensive inch pound torque wrench that must undergo annual inspection and certification. (What a pay cut! Ouch!) These facts for now allay my concern enough that I can see myself hiring this firm again to do electrical work for me in the future. I say this especially since Karlin was an easy person to work with.
