Advanced Electrical

My dryer wasn’t working and when I found out it wasn’t the machine but, the lack of power, I was feeling anxious about how much an electrician would cost! So I started to research Unilocal and ended up with Valary because they were still open when I called (after 3pm) and I got an appt the next morning at 8AM! I was told up front what the rates and minimums were (1 hour charge) and they also asked me how I found them and thanked me on the phone before my appointment.
Valary showed up and was very pleasant and professional. He explained what was wrong with the power – the jaws on my outlet was loose and needed to be replaced. He also discovered that the connection on breaker panel for the dryer was damaged also:(The panel can be very expensive to replace (over $ 1,000) but, he reconfigured the breakers using the spare slot so, I ended up only paying for the one hour + parts – whew! And thank you Unilocalers for all your reviews to help me avoid a bad experience and find a good fit!
Highly recommended for the great service and knowledgeability!!!

I was having trouble getting an electrician to deal with some malfunctioning overhead lighting that was bothering my tenants. I spoke with Valery on the phone and he quoted me a (reasonable) hourly rate, describing what he suspected to be the problem. He was able to go and fix the problem the same day, which was greatly appreciated by the tenants! Before starting the repair, he called and gave me the choice of whether to repair or replace one of the lights that was really old, and quoted the cost of the materials.
The bill was itemized and consistent with what I was led to expect. Overall, I really appreciated Valery’s clear communication and expertise and would definitely use his services again!

Valery and his crew are the best you can have. We did a very large remodel and addition to our home and Valery was always organized, detailed and so easy to work with. All of his guys who work with him were top notch as well. He had excellent opinions and suggestions. Valery was more than fair with us always. I would only use Valery and his team to do any electrical work. Thank you Valery for making such a big project easy, simple and fun! I am glad to know Valery and his team!

Not sure why these guys don’t have more reviews. I interviewed a lot of electricians for a project to construct a third bedroom out of existing square footage in my house. Valery’s estimate wasn’t the lowest, but he drew up a plan right in front of me and overall I was more confident that he would get the work done right than any of the other electricians I interviewed.
He and his crew came on my chosen day (we had to work around all the other contractors on-​site) and completed the work in one day, which was exactly what I needed. He did have to pull a guy off another job and later pushed some of the guys on my job to another job which was a little strange but they got the work done.
Valery’s payment terms were very reasonable; he offered to wait until I’d had the final inspection for the final installment even though that inspection was likely several weeks away as we were waiting on some windows. He also provided good advice regarding which brand of LED lights would work well for us (I guess most of them produce quite cool light that doesn’t look great in a residential setting).
Overall I was really happy with the service I received from Advanced Electrical.

I am so glad to see Advanced Electrical finally on Unilocal… So I can praise Valary to the world!
Valary has been doing electrical work for our company for about 2 years now. We formally had a different electrician… who did somewhat of a spotty job. Valary came into our establishment and thoroughly identified every electrical outlet, electrical panel and wiring system. With this information we have been able to create an entire electrical plan on our floor plans. This has been invaluable!
Our office building is old and we have new needs frequently. Valary is always quick to accomodate our requests and thoroughly addresses our needs by sizing up the situation. He is happy to answer questions for us and has gone as far as trouble-​shooting electric items/​tools … not part of a typical electricians job, but he does it none-​the-​less.
Valary is always professional, punctual, cleans up after himself (I love that!), and does a darn good job!

Valary Gores of Advanced Electrical was an amazing electrician. My review is based on this story:
I found a free hot tub on Craigslist last week, and I had no idea if it worked or not. He took the time to double check that, came out first to make sure the conditions were right to wire it; he listened to my concerns about cost, aesthetics and more. Then it gets more interesting. He emailed me what I thought was a quote for the job, which was unbelievably cheap, so I was thrilled. The day before he came out, he called to double check and resent the full quote. I was so bummed to learn that it was triple what I had thought because of my error, not his — he had sent the cost of materials first.
I was too busy to notice and did not double check. Instead of defending his quote, etc. his communication was amazing; he focused on «what should we do now.» We worked out a mid-​point price, and he and his staff did the entire job in one day. I came home from work, thinking like most jobs on my house, that it would be a mess around here.
Instead, I found he had cleaned, and filled the tub and it was heating for my first hot tub. He also easily explained electrical safety issues which are important for me. My son was thrilled and ran to get his swim suit. What really blew me away was his humility regarding the miscommunication, and the aesthetic considerations of running the pipes just under my biggest plants and around so that no view in the garden was obscured. I have never had service like that. Highly recommended.
