Very happy with the service! Rates were the lowest of anyone I got a quote from, and the job was done quickly.

I only used him once but he did a really good job and his cost was fair. I would contact him again for future projects.

Only emergency electrician out of 6 that I called that responded on a Sunday before a holiday…read more He came out and inspected my breaker box that was hot to the touch and frequently tripping, and diagnosed the issue quickly He said he could have replaced the main breaker right there but it wouldn't have fixed the long term issue I feel like he could have made a bit of cash fixing the immediate problem and leaving the main breaker to eventually break again, but instead told me the truth and how to fix the long term problem instead Thanks Walid!

Seemed professional when we first met and agreed on work at a reasonable price. Had significant…read moretrouble with installing recessed lighting in our ceiling resulting in two drilled holes in the roof, covered up with caulking while also ripping drywall from the ceiling. I had contractors come in to repair some of the damage caused (not all) which was higher than the value of the work he did. I still offered to pay him something to at least cover materials when he seemed reasonable about what had happened. This has resulted in insults and possibly threats from him on how he would get his money back. Response to owner: nice mix of truths and outright lies. I've sent over the full cost of the drywall repairs for him to see. The cost I told to him was only for the excessive damage he caused. Not even all of the damage he caused. He never told my wife about the holes in the roof she just happened to be around when they started panicking but she wasn't sure what was going on. I checked later after she told me something fishy had happened and I had to call him after he left for him to acknowledge the holes in the roof.

I reached out because our hot water heater was not working after the breaker tripped multiple…read moretimes. The technician arrived, and my husband showed him our laundry room with our water heater and electric panel and explained what was happening and concern about a sizzle sound after the breaker tripped most recently. The technician did not inspect the water heater, only glancing over and saying it "looks new." He went over to the electric panel and began confirming our fears that what my husband described was a safety concern. He went outside for approximately 5 minutes to look at our outside electric box. He suggested we get it fixed because it's not flush against the house but focused on claims that it would be best to replace our electric panel because it is worn out and a fire hazard. He claimed the reason it was a fire hazard was due to breakers that had been replaced. He repeatedly expressed concerns for our safety and continued to look over at the breakers and claimed he could tell they would fail soon. In under 30 minutes he gave my husband an estimate with options for replacing the main panel for approximately $5,000 or approximately $7,000 to replace the entire electrical panel. My husband and I talked and agreed since the technician was so adamant our existing panel was a fire hazard and claimed we are in danger, we agreed to the full panel replacement. I was handed a tablet to complete a financing application. Nothing about the financing was explained and I had no idea if it's a loan or line of credit. I do know I would be paying for 7 years at 13% interest. While I was completing the financing process, the technician was extremely talkative and joked with my husband about sports. He scheduled an appointment for the following week. He again claimed our existing panel was a fire hazard and that he was glad he was going to help keep us safe by replacing it. After he left, I had a bad feeling. He never said anything about the water heater, which was the whole reason for the visit. Combined with the short inspection, never explaining what made him decide the breaker box was dangerous, the high cost estimate, the invoice that doesn't include a breakdown of material vs labor, or any description of the work to be done, and the incessant overly friendly talking. It began to hit me how many hard sell tactics were used during the short visit. I decided to talk to a family member who said I should get a second opinion and that there's no way any of what the technician said was true. He suggested an electrician who came out the next morning. The electrician quickly found the real issue, which was a loose screw! He told us that nothing was wrong with our electrical panel and that he turned his screw driver 5 times before he could hear the hot water heater come back on. He did not charge us for the visit. He also informed us that Safe Electric and Plumbing has a reputation for unnecessary overly expensive work. I called to cancel with Safe and received unclear answers from their both their AI and weekend answering service about the status of the loan through their lender. I was eventually told to call the finance department next week. I also went back and looked more closely at their reviews and was horrified to see how many of both the positive and negative reviews described similar experiences. This includes many of the positive reviews reporting "electric panel replacement or upgrade" after hiring this company for unrelated work and the negative reviews who also experienced hard sell scare tactics. I'm feeling upset and manipulated. We came so close to paying over $7,000 plus 13% interest for 7 years for a loose screw. After several calls, I did at least get confirmation that the loan would not move forward without any work being done. I cannot adequately put into words how sickened I am by the realization that this business we trusted to come into our home engages in tactics to take advantage of unsuspecting customers. Please beware.

They still insisted on a $69 service fee. I guess it's a house game. Not going to roll the with them in the future bad business ethics.
