Ceiling Fan install

Tyler installed 2 large ceiling fans in our apartment which has very high (13ft) sloped ceilings.

He returned my call quickly and was on site next day when he said he would be and did a perfect job, going the extra mile and offering some useful advice on some of my own projects!

Highly personable, clearly cares about his work and doesn't cut corners. Quality and responsiveness is reflected in what appears to be a relatively high price.

Recommended.

$945 for less than 4 hours & $20 materials !!!

In preparation for adding a peninsula to our kitchen, we arranged for Tyler with Electric Avenue to split one electrical outlet into three - all within 2 feet of the original.

While the work was done to our satisfaction, in retrospect, the amount paid for this service was astonishingly high, compared to what other electricians and tradesmen's have since suggested.

We paid $945 for a job that lasted less than four hours and consumed approx $20 of materials. Over $200 an hour for moving 110 V electrical boxes is way outside the industry norm as we now understand it. An email sent to the company has not been acknowledged. We would definitely not recommend this company.

Unfortunately the scope and material value of the work has not been correctly represented in the review. The work done was and charged for was within industry standards or above, and with a very high level of customer service, and transparency . Prior to starting any work we provide the customer with the cost of the proposed work. Only upon the approval of the client do we proceed with the proposed work. The reason we do this is to to be an ethical contractor and protect our valued clients from surprised costs. We do not try to be the "cheapest" contractor around since this would cheat our customers of the ability to use high quality materials and customer service. We try to be the most ethical and upfront contractor around with the most experienced and professional electricians in the industry. Any contractor given limited details of an installation after the fact and when they have no opportunity for getting the job is likely to say what the person wants to hear "that they have overpaid for a job" to gain a chance at future work. We appreciate all of our customers and know that without our valued customers we would not be in business.

Electric Fireplace

We were upgrading an electric fireplace and couldn't get the wiring working correctly. We called Tyler who was available within a couple hours of our call. He gave us a quote for a consultation which was incredibly reasonable. Once he got here it was clear that the process wasn't as simple as any of us expected but he worked tirelessly to figure out how to use the existing wiring to set the fireplace up how we wanted it. We can't say enough good things about his service and we felt he went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend him again.

installed lighting fixtures

Electric Avenue is who they say they are - friendly and professional. They were prompt and put on protective booties before entering our home. Tyler listen carefully to what I wanted to get done and offered better solutions that we hadn't thought of. I was provided a written quote with a breakdown in pricing before they started. They cleaned up their mess and put everything back before they left. The job was done to my complete satisfaction - I am very happy! I would highly recommend Electric Avenue, owner Tyler Clarkson - I'm proud to support a small local business.

Whole house surge protection

You cannot get any better service than Electric Avenue.
This man is honest and UTTERLY reliable.
I blew a tablet computer because I thought I had it plugged into an uninterruptible power supply.
I called Electric Avenue and Tyler not only installed the surge protection, he quelled my worries about the wiring.
I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Upgrade house wiring

This company is exceptional in all aspects. Prompt, quick, professional and courteous service. I always receive a detailed explanation of the job before commencement and again once the job has been completed. Quotes are reasonable and accurate – no surprises! Thanks Tyler – you're a real PRO!

Electric diagnostic

Similar to another member's experience, had them over to discuss lighting options but was charged for a diagnostic. Somewhat in fairness, I wanted a few switches and burnt bulbs checked out, but it took 10 minutes and this price seemed egregious (or not up front). Maybe I had a bad experience and this was a blip, but don't think I'll be following up.

Hi Allen, thank you for your time to review our business. The service charges that you were charged for was for a diagnosis. This is not based on time but for the number of electrical problems that you would like us to solve and the number of devices we have to open and reinstall to find the problems. Even though we do not charge for travel time our service charges because they are upfront have to be based on the average total time it takes to solve a set amount of problems. We let our clients know the price prior to starting any work to help eliminate any problems with price because being upfront and honest is our priority. The discussion about your lighting options were free of charge since you were not being charged by the hour. You are a valued customer and if there is anything I can help with in the future please give us a call.

electrical repair

I had a dangerous electrical problem in my 50-year-old triplex. Tyler from Electric Ave. figured out the problems and came up with the best ways to fix them at a reasonable cost. He and his assistant arrived on the scheduled day, fixed the wiring and replaced the breaker box quickly and professionally. Thanks guys!

Hi Lenora, thank you for taking the time to do this review. You had a very interesting and challenging repair. I am so glad that with the help of the electrical inspector we were able to get special permission to make your home safe again without an extensive and costly repair. Looking forward to working with you in the future.

Thanks again,

Diagnostic, and possible work

Tyler from Electic Avenue showed up at the right time, and listened to my problem. He said that there could be multiple problems, and he needed to do a more elaborate diagnostic,asked for $300.00 for it, not the $158.00, that we originally agreed.

He convinced me that it would be the case, and there could be a good amount of work necessary, so I agreed.

However, it turned out to be a a small issue with minimal labor, and no parts necessary. The entire thing took about 10 minutes.

He, however, stuck to the bill of $300.

Electric Avenue are suppose to have a payment scale going 'by the job'.

I fail to see how the job warranted a $300 price tag.

BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!

Hi Lance, thank you for your time to review our business. The service charges that you were charged for was for an extensive diagnosis. This is not based on time but for the number of electrical problems that you would like us to solve and the number of devices we have to open and reinstall to find the problems. Your situation involved more than a single electrical problem this was either misunderstood or misrepresented at the time of booking . Our prices are upfront and have to be based on the average total time it takes to solve a set amount of problems. We let our clients know the price prior to starting any work to help eliminate any problems with price because being upfront and honest is our priority. The discussions about your electrical issues, and travel time are free of charge since you were not being charged by the hour and we always try to take the time to explain what we are doing and how your system works to save you money in the future. Our speed at which we solve electrical issues is a sigh of our experience and that we have your best interest at heart and we are not trying to turn a small problem into a costly repair. You are a valued customer and if there is anything I can help with in the future please give us a call.

Thanks,
