Chris Electric Company, Inc.

This place is great. I have a small office and had two of my phone wires shorting out and causing static and slow DSL speeds. Joe was my electrcian, he was professional, honest and tested everything before he made a true decision on what the problem was. In about 3.5 hours he was able to get the job done and for about 75% less then my other «estimate» from the Wirenut gave me the day before.
I would recommend this place to everyone and will always refer them in the future.

So, they called me back, apologizing profusely for standing me up twice, begging me to give them a third shot. Again, with the «we’re a small biz» spiel, which i fell for. So we scheduled an appointment to get a quote, and Chris came out. We spent an hour going through my house, listening to him pontificating about shoddy work done by builders these days. While i don’t disagree, i didn’t really see that as helping me get electrical work done. And he didn’t take any notes, swearing up and down that he’s got a great memory and would easily remember the 10 projects we wanted done. He promised that his quote would arrive in a week, but at the same time, he told me he doesn’t really like doing retail jobs. Guess that was a clue that we wouldn’t be getting a quote. Sure enough, a month later, no quote has arrived. If they don’t want to do retail projects, then they shouldn’t waste people’s time like this. Don’t bother wasting yours … call someone else!

I don’t know about you but I have had miserable luck with home repair companies. They either don’t show, show late, charge more than their estimate — yadda yadda. Mostly bozos out there.
It was such a pleasure to deal with professionals this time. Needed a new 20 amp dedicated circuit for my treadmill which the exercise equipment store failed to tell me when they sold it to me (see Health Styles review). Chris the owner is an older Greek guy and quite a character — been in the business for 35 years. Came out and did the estimate himself. Sent a first rate electrician (James) out a couple of days later and he just finished. Excellent work, charged exactly what the estimate was, cleaned up after himself and I’m a happy camper. Highly recommend this small independent company for your electrical needs.
