I think this is only the second online review I've ever left but Volt Doctors provided such amazing…read moreservice that I was compelled to write. A tree unexpectedly took down my power line on a Saturday and pulled the entire power meter and pole off my house. Since it was a weekend my usual electrician wasn't available and he recommended Volt Doctors. Their 24 hr dispatcher immediately answered and they had an electrician on site within two hours on a Saturday evening. Erik, helped get my generator running and hooked up, and an hour after that I had an estimate and repair plan in hand. On Sunday and Monday Summer was in frequent contact with updates and by Monday afternoon the repair was complete and good as new! The job came in under the projected time and under budget, so they reduced the cost to the real hours worked. I can't speak highly enough about Volt Doctors, THIS is how you run a business!

We moved to North Carolina from the west coast which means you don't have a network of plumbers and…read moreelectricians, and mechanics and such... It is such a vulnerable situation. My daughter bought a home and it need some electrical work done to fix a few minor things and to hardwire some flood lights, patio lights and other projects. After a first attempt with a company that charged a service fee ($129) and sent 3 men that did absolutely NOTHING that we needed...I had the lucky fortune of finding Volt Doctors. The owner is a very nice and hard-working local man businessman that knows his stuff. They were able to work on many items on my list and I am excited they will be coming back to give the house a complete check for older sockets and some loose plugs. (Clearly I don't know the correct terms) - But I DO know what it feels like to have someone NOT take advantage of me. THANK YOU Volt Doctors for running an honest business with reasonable pricing and good quality work!

Amazing, kind and professional man. He will send a quote but I may not need their services. If I do, I will 100% spendy money with Arc Electric. PS: I've seen they have other locations and are not rated as high as they are in the Raleigh area. Wonder if it's just management?

He also did some adjustments to a light fixture and a second outlet that were installed not straight. He took less time than I expected. He was done with everything in about 90 minutes. He tested every smoke detector after installing them. We previously used one of these electrical and plumbing companies but we were not happy. I'm so glad we found Raleigh Electric. I got quotes from 4 other companies, all about $800-1200 for the same work. I paid less than $300 to Raleigh Electric for all this work.

I hired Ambidex electric to add two additional can lights and reroute my island light in my…read morekitchen. This involved rerunning some of the current can lighting to account for removing two previous lights. I had gotten a few quotes from various companies, a few in-person estimates from people who just didn't seem to know what they were talking about as well. However, Dayton, not only was able to quote based on my photos, his in-person quote came in exactly the same and was one of the most reasonable ones we got. He is extremely knowledgeable, was happy to walk me through everything he was doing, made sure to check and double check exactly where I wanted all the new lights, and kept me updated throughout the few hours he was here. After everything was done, the space was clean and all the lights exactly where I wanted them. He went out of his way to deal with funky wiring without missing a beat, and even clearly labeled all the wiring so we were able to install the remainder of the lights in the new holes (we had ceiling work done ater the fact so we waited to install a few ourselves) with NO confusion at all. All in all, i definitely recommend Dayton of Ambidex for your electrical needs. We have a few other projects down the pipeline and some wonky (original builder grade) wiring issues elsewhere, and we'll definitely not hesitate to contact Dayton for all future work!

For one job, they told me I didn't have to spend the hundreds I was expecting to with them if I just bought a specific adaptor, which they forwarded to me - they didn't even charge me to come out. So I ended up using them for a much bigger project that I'd put off indefinitely because another electrician quoted such a high price (Pete's quoted about a third of that).

I hired them to link a generator to my house and to fix two ceiling fans. They provided me with an…read moreestimate - which I paid $196.73 for. This charge was not applied to my bill. I then decided it would be best to replace the fan rather than fix them. The first time they came out, they removed the fans but couldn't install the new fans as the down pipe (I provided) was the wrong size. Nothing was done for the generator as the needed part was the wrong size (they provided). The second time, they installed the fans, but again did nothing for the generator as the replacement part also didn't fit. I was then informed they couldn't do the generator job as described in the estimate and the new estimate was now $300 more than quoted. Essentially it took 3 trips out here for them to figure out what was actually needed to install the generator. The estimate, I paid for, was useless. I was then billed $1,587 for the fan installation. This included a second trip fee as they had to come back because the fan down pipe I provided was incorrect. I reminded them they had to return anyway as their part was wrong, but they keep telling me I caused the return trip. They finally split the cost with me. I reviewed the invoice carefully and found numerous questionable charges and errors - 75 minutes of supervisor reviewing project with staff @$109/hr, billing assistant time at electrician rate, charging for lunch time, assembling a defective ladder. The final bill to install to ceiling fans in ceilings was $1,321, $266 more than their original invoice. Next time I will rent scaffolding and do it myself.

I wish there were more stars for this…read more Storytime: When Duke Energy upgraded our electric meter, they broke the base, and we experienced worsening brownouts and then blackouts for a few days. When we called Duke Energy to come out, they found the meter was sparking (AKA arc'ing), so they shut off part of our power (one "phase"), so half our lights were out and we could not run appliances, although we had heat and could run a cord to a working outlet to our 'fridge. BUT we had to repair the base (The box your meter sits on either outside or inside your house) at our cost! (We were able to try and submit a claim, which actually was rejected due to a Duke subcontractor did the work ... also,we found out the base might have been failing for a long time before the meter replacement.) First, I tried a company in Durham, because they could come out that night. They came out, and gave a $1,200 estimate to: get a permit, parts, replace the meter base. Fine. But, the person the Durham firm sent was scary in many ways ... I thought he might either electrocute himself or damage my house. Clearly he had no idea what he was doing, from watching and talking with him. My "BS detector" was going crazy. I wanted someone else, and told the firm to hold off while I got a second opinion. Meanwhile, a day wasted with no power in many rooms in the house. I called all the local electricians and everyone was too busy for weeks! Then I tried Bonneville. I emailed them at night and got a call in two hours to schedule! I spoke with Brad and he clearly understood the situation and made me much more confident than the other firm. At Brad's suggestion, I left a key for him to come inside the house so no one had to miss work. At about 10:30 that morning, he called me to tell me he was able to REPAIR the broken meter base, not replace it. He patiently explained EVERYTHING about what happened and why ... literally spent 15 minutes explaining and talking about it. Such an easy experience! The best part? We were only charged $233 for the repair parts and labor, vs. the $1,200 to replace the meter base. Advice: Bring your A game to Bonneville. Be ready to clearly explain your problem in an intelligent way, be a good listener, and you will be rewarded by the best service experience possible. HIGHLY recommended. Richard Stern, Carrboro NC.
