Captain Electric

Nov. 3, 2010

In 2009 we had our 60 year old house entirely rewired by Captain Electric. We were traumatized at first when we realized the cost for the entire job, but it was in line with other prices we had received. Captain Electric gave us all the details necessary for us to chose what was the most cost effective way of bringing our home not only up to code, but much safer. They were very clean and careful doing the rewire and most importantly, they did not leave us with a nightmare of holes in walls and ceilings that required another contractor to come in after them and put our house back together again. They got all the right work permits, the inspections by the authorities went smoothly, and the job was “done right” as the saying goes.

A month ago Captain Electric came back to do our first annual inspection. We did not have any problems with the work that Captain Electric had done but we had just started having problems with two separate pieces of equipment that were installed at the time of the rewire. The inspection turned up defects that had developed in these two pieces of equipment. These items have now been replaced, the new items are working just great and we are once again safe ‘electronically speaking’.

Both experiences with Captain Electric have been incredibly easy. The three electricians that we had doing the job, their apprentice and the support staff are very pleasant, very informative, very helpful and very cooperative. They asked questions to determine what was best for us before they did the work and they went out of their way to explain what they were doing, why they were doing it and what it meant to us as home owners. It is an attitude that we have not experienced with other trade people.

They have restored our faith in competent and honest contractors. We would definitely recommend this company and its staff.
