    If I had an electrical issue, I would trust Greg to provide a fair and honest assessment. Full…read moredisclosure, I only spoke to Greg on the phone for a consultation because our schedule did not align and I needed someone to come out urgently. A few weeks ago, I noticed a burning smell in my basement and followed it to the electrical closet. I spoke to Greg on the phone about the issue and he was very professional and honest of what he could and could not do about the elusive issue. Most importantly, he did not use any scare tactics. Unfortunately, he had a client that day so my husband found another company to come to diagnose the issue. After opening and thoroughly examining the electrical box, the person could not find the problem and recommended an escalation to perform a full diagnosis, which would be nearly $500. I called Greg and he talked to me out of my panic. He also recommended a solution to test for the source myself. Later that day, my husband and I took Greg's advice and we were able to narrow it down to our home security system. Having an electrical issue is always scary, but I am grateful to find someone like Greg who is honest, and actually goes out of his way to educate his customers.

    Greg answered my call immediately and was very generous in recommending detailed troubleshooting…read moretechniques and a general assessment of potential causes of my issue even though he did not have immediate availability to address my issue in person. He recommended a trusted colleague and invited me to reach back out if I had any further questions or concerns. I'll keep his number handy for future reference, and would recommend Greg to you for your electrician needs.

    David Turner Springfield Downtown…read more· 2 hr ago · Michael Christy DBA MC Electrical takes advantage of senior citizens. He charged $1680 for less than two hours labor and materials costing of less than $50. No advance estimate as advertised on his website His website promises to come to the home and diagnose the problem, and provide a "free on-site estimate . . . before any work begins." However, with us, he never discussed pricing in advance and provided no estimate prior to performing services. Here is our detailed experience. My wife, who is in her 70s called and told him that we had a bathroom exhaust fan that wasn't working and that we needed two GFCI's in the kitchen replaced. He arrived the next day with an assistant. The assistant went to the second floor to diagnose the fan problem. It turned out that the new timer switch that I had tried to install myself was not connected properly, and he had corrected the problem in minutes before even discussing it with us. While he was doing that, Michael went to the kitchen and promptly replaced the two GFCIs. They were done in less than an hour and Michael told us that they would send the bill and made arrangements for my wife to VENMO the money to him. When Michael subsequently emailed the invoice to us, My wife was shocked at the amount, but she, nonetheless VENMOed money before I had a chance to look at the invoice. The invoice included a $295 "service call"; $795 for the simple connection of the exhaust fan switch that took minutes; $590 for the installation of the two GFCIs; and a charge of $117.60 that was listed as a 7% tax on the $1,680 charges described above. Notably, Pennsylvania has has no tax on labor charges for real estate capital improvements such as the work performed here. As such, those tax charges are completely invalid and appear fraudulent. After-the-fact research showed that the very high end of the range that a reputable master election would charge for those services would be $560 including a service call charge and materials. When I called him about the bill, he said that if I had not "disrespected" him by getting angry, he would have "worked with us." This is not an honest contractor. My advice is to stay far away from MC Electrical.
