Excellent service. Technician was great!!

Worst

Appalling business practices. Theft by swindle came to mind. Power went out on Black Friday. Zach came out and charged $199 "emergency fee" and diagnosed main breaker was arching ...

Excellent service! Have now used twice. 5/11/2017

I have now had Zach from Randy's Electric out twice to install lighting and update a fuse box. The 30 minute courtesy call is always appreciated. He arrived on time and was extremely professional. He also offered recommendations for future updates to make our house more efficient, along with pricing. I will definitely call back for our next project. more

Zack fixed my ceiling fan 5/9/2017

The fan will be in use again and I didn't have to go searching for a new one. I really like the new wall switch no more pulling the chain. Every thing went quickly and no mess. Zack was friendly and made everything clear about the procedure. more

Install sub-panel and exterior plug-in for use with generator during power outages 4/21/2017

Matt was very professional. Explained the work to be performed and alternatives. When Matt was finished he explained the operation of the new system and asked if any questions. I would recommend Matt and Randy's Electric. more

Great service! 4/14/2017

Matt hung a chandelier in a vintage condo. The ceiling was not flat, so it posed a challenge. He came up with a solution which worked. I requested an additional consult for some future work, which was also completed to my satisfaction. more

Electrical Work 4/13/2017

Installed new box outside with GFI. On time with no problems or complications. First time I have used Randy's but I will use them for future needs without hesitation. Zach was well informed and offered different options for the job. Settled on lesser amount for work. No pressure. more

Prompt and Organized Service, Experience Technician, Leverage Groupon 2/21/2017

I will echo other reviews on the front of GREAT SERVICE & HIGH COST. Service-wise, this company works like a welloiled machine: email notifications techs are coming & background on personnel showing , kind office folks to answer questions. They have to pay for that. RICHARD SHOWED ON TIME, WAS CLEARLY COMPETENT & RESPECTFUL OF MY HOME & ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS. He changed out 2 ceiling boxes for fan-rated ones. He put the fixtures back on as I'll install fans at a later date. In the case of one box, he noted the romex looked discolored&attributed it to an overloaded circuit that wasn't tripping. My wife used a blow dryer & iron on our bedroom circuit while work was going on in the bathroom. His assessment was our wattage exceeded the 15amp breaker of 1800 watts with hair dryer alone max out at 1875. Recommended an AFCI breaker to replace the 30 y-old breaker that probably is failing. Randy's up front pricing is a blessing&a curse here. $140 for a new breaker&I think that would include an AFCI. The prudent person would replace all breakers on my 30 year old panel which I plan to do. For a full switchout it's still about $90 per breaker, or with 26 in my box a roughly $2,300 proposal. For perspective-I paid $2k to have a complete panel replaced at my old house from 60amp to 100. The square D q 15amp AFCI was $37 at HomeDepot&I anticipate it to take me an hour-non AFCIs are about $8 at the store too. Certainly for an experience electrician&barring no issues could do one in 15 minutes or less. With all respect to the craft&seriousness of messing with a panel, it’s hard for me to reconcile the operation of switching out breakers&their costs. I will get other bids&update this accordingly. BOTTOM Line: RICH IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL. However USE A GROUPON. My value was good by doing so but hard to justify future work if I didnt, especially after seeing all the other “high cost” reviews. LIKE ANY CONTRACT, GET MULTIPLE BIDS, SEEK REVIEWS,&MAKE YOUR JUDGEMENT ACCORDINGLY. 4 star only because of implied cost w/o groupon. more

Randy's Team 2/17/2017

Jesse, Julie and Courtney are a great team. Jesse's work was great, and the office staff was very prompt answering questions and returning emails/calls. I highly recommend Randy's Electric. more

excellent service 2/16/2017

excellent service, good problem solving for difficult wiring without drywall repair. Clean before and after work area. Highly recommend more

Home Visit 12/31/2016

Jeremy was very personable and professional as was the person who I spoke to on the phone!! However, I feel it was an expensive visit to not have the problem fixed rather only to tell me what I need to do to fix it. I realize their is a trip charge butt the rest of the charges should be less expensive when you're only told what you need to do to fix it. more

Very professional and knowledgable more

GREAT! 12/20/2016

Awesome job! Have hired many times and always awesome! more

awsome service 12/19/2016

needed someone to come out and take a look at at a panel of lights that was tripping our breaker box every time we turned a light on. Jesse, was professional, took a look and almost immediately found the problem. Just to make sure, he took apart the ceiling fan just to make sure there was not another underlying problem. He was very knowledgeable, kept me informed of what he was looking for and then what he would do to fix the problem and also offered appropriate advice. Very easy to schedule appointment and in and out of the house in about 30 minutes. Would use this service again if have a need. more

Service call 12/18/2016

Very pleased to get the work done. My surprise, however, was the $79.00 charge for one 15v fuse. I realize that the 2nd fellow had to leave to go and find one, but I thought that because my call was regarding an old house with a fusebox and the issue was a blown fuse, that they would come prepared with some fuses, especially given that big beautiful truck that looks like it should have everything electric in it!--Nice guys and good work; thank you! more

Very friendly, did good work! 12/14/2016

Very friendly, did good work. Helped me load machine in my car which was not part of the job. more

Efficent Work 12/1/2016

Smoke Detectors 11/25/2016

Very professional and courteous, but very expensive more

Provided great service 11/11/2016

The electricians arrived on time and quickly got the job done. I had them replace an outdoor light fixture. They were also great at answering all my questions. more

Great Job 11/3/2016

They gave me three options\price points to do the work. Work is done on a per job basis. One outlet =X$. Two outlets=2 x X$. So time wasn't charged if the worker was slow, or checking texts. The previous owner of the house fubarred the electric big time, and Randy's crew made sense of it. I'd recommend and it was because of recommendations that I chose him. more

Randy's Electric 10/2/2016

We had a new circuit panel replaced and couldn't be more happier. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that our house is up to code and we will no longer have problems. The service we received was excellent. The technicians took the time to explain everything they were doing. The estimate was spot on and we did not have any added expenses. more
