Best Emergency Electrician Washington Near Me

Freda Perry: Had a great experience with This company. Mike Harris was very professional and attentive to our needs. Our family had some electrical problems that caused our AC to not work properly. During this very hot time of the year, Mr Harris was accessible and provided immediate service helping to restore our AC needs. He’s very confident, knowledgeable of his craft and professional . I recommend his business and will use this service again.

Novacane Lan: Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, QualityI definitely will use this service again in the future! Michael and Maxwell were punctual and efficient with their work. Also very polite! They were able to replace some faulty wiring that a previous electrician had done and performed maintenance on my circuit breaker.

Benjamin Williams: We had a power issue that I thought might be a circuitry issue at 9PM. I called Harris and spoke to Max. 10 minutes before he arrived Pepco showed up on our street and confirmed it was an issue on their end. I ended up cancelling with Max despite him being about 10 minutes away. He was very understanding and incredibly responsive. If/when I do need an electrician I will be sure to call him again.

Zane Ramadan: We had a number of outlets that were not working in our home, so I called Harris Electric around 8am, and they sent someone to come by 1pm that same day and fixed all of the issues. They also charged a lower price than other companies I had contacted for a quote. I will definitely use this company for future electrical needs. Great customer service, prompt, and skilled technicians.

Xian Randall: I was referred to Harris Electric through my home warranty after multiple outlets in my home blew out and I could not fix them by simply resetting the circuit. I was contacted by Mike Harris within hours of my service request and he came out on a Sunday to service my home. He arrived within my appointment window and quickly diagnosed my issue. He did have to cut into the drywall of my home, but ensured that he would cause as minimal damage as necessary. And as promised, he repaired all my outlets with a minimal amount of damage to my wall, and all for even less than he quoted. He even followed up with a referral for someone to repair the drywall. I would definitely use them in the future and would refer their service to anyone who asked.

ian kenny: Critical: ProfessionalismThis is the worst electrical company I’ve ever used. BE WARNED. Strongly suggest using a different company.Service: General construction

Nazgul Shabdan: These guys do really good work, and unlike many other contractors in our area, they are responsive. Our lead electrician was fantastic, and explained the process clearly. His assistants, were also competent, polite, diligent, and efficient. I would use these guys again.

Jason BROSCH: Brandon Kolb came to provide an estimate for a EV charger install and panel upgrade. He was here 5mins maybe and then I never heard another word. I even emailed Brandon directly and called the office. Zero reply. Guess they didn’t want my money for a new electrical panel install. Do yourself a favor, try Autumn Electric instead. They were professional and responsive, the install and upgrade went flawlessly! I assume Brandon is one of the children based on last name, it’s a shame this electrical company has lost their reputation over the many years they’ve been in business. They used to be my go to.

Mike Meyer: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueFrancisco came at rThe start of the time window. He was courteous and friendly. He asked me to explain what I thought the problem was. He took it from there. I am extremely pleased with his workmanship and professionalism.Service: Electrical outlet & switch installation

Gary Birtch: We need to have a Tesla charger installed in our house. They were listed by Tesla as one of the companies that has done charger installations in the Maryland DC area. While they would be coming to the house we wanted to have them do a few other things such as appropriately wire the deck on our house, wire the generator hook up, and if needed replace the current transfer switch. So we’re talking a fair amount of money here... The project manager flat out just didn’t want to get back to us after the initial site survey. We indicated that we had a timeline and that we only had a month or so to do it... and flat out the guy was rude when it came to getting back to us and I didn’t bother him or hound him! Eventually, I get a quote from another electrician, also on Tesla’s website. (FWIW: I’ve been very honest with both electricians that doing the best job is more important than than the cheapest job.) I eventually get the PM from Kolbe on the phone and ask him if he’s gonna get a quote to me? Then he says he’s “to busy” and then implies our job (which is probably a $10,000 job) is not big enough. I then ask the guy if I should go with someone else... AND HE SAYS YES. If the project manager can’t bother to get his stuff together and treat people with the appropriate attitude, not to mention get back to them in a timely manner, there is no reason to do business with Kolb. I would NEVER recommend Kolb Electric based on this experience.

Tom O'Neil: We were in a bind because we just lost power on a circuit but the breaker was not tripped. I called several random places and nobody could come out for several days. I called Kolb and they told me about the emergency pricing but they would TRY and get someone out before 4PM. Sure enough, a guy showed up at 2PM the same day. He was very knowledgeable and careful. He actually saved us time and money by listening to us as the owners. (I knew what I had done recently and other problems we noticed). We would call them again. From the dispatcher to the electrician... the experience was good.

Ernest Chan: We were referred by our Compass real estate agent to use Kolb Electric for repairs. In hindsight, it was a mistake to contact Kolb... On 11/20, I called Kolb Electric and scheduled an appointment for 11/30 for a walkthrough on relocating the power outlet onto a different drywall for my sump pump. On 11/30, the guy arrived at my house to evaluate the work needed and suggested a dedicated circuit for the sump pump. I was told I would get a write-up of a quote within 48 to 72 business hours. I subsequently called 3 more times until the end of week on 11/30. The receptionist kept telling me to check my email spambox, which I found no quote from Kolb. I even texted the quote person on 12/4 and got a response saying he would send it on 12/7. The quote person never sent anything! If the job in my house is too small for your company, just say so. Ultimately, I found a different company to do the work for me in 2 hours. The time for my hired electrican to look at the job and provide me with a quote was just 4 hours. Now, I have 2 other electric companies that are responsive and honest. There is no reason to choose Kolb for any electrical work, regardless of the size of the job.

Kjetil Hansen-Shino: We hired Kolb to install deck lights around our pool. It was a relatively large job and cost was high. Immediately after installation, the lights started acting strange, blinking irregularly after being on for about 15-20 minutes. It took almost 2 years and countless visits to figure out the problem and fix it. To their credit they were relatively nice about coming to our house every month or so. During that time the lights they installed were discontinued and when we had to replace two lights we had to use other slightly different ones. During the whole process our other outside lights stopped working, I suspect due to the work carried out by kolb. Last visit they managed to charge us a couple hundred dollars to look at the problem they had caused. It was an exhausting process and not worth the time and effort. I would have expected them to know their craft well enough to get it right at least after a couple visits. Would NOT recommend using them.

Frances D. Cook: We had an electrician from Kolb Electric make a service call at the house on April 25. The gentleman arrived on time, but that was about all he got right. We had four issues, two outside, two inside. He not only was not able to fix any of them during his extended stay, but the counsel he provided was wrong in two out of the four cases. (We have subsequently had all corrected by an excellent electrician from Hawkins Electric). Moreover, he was messy. We had to clean up debris from the ceiling on our furniture after he departed. He failed to use drop clothes, and did not wear any shoe covers). The bill was $224. No one from Kolb ever called to ask if we were ‘happy’ with this service, so I assume he also did not report back that he accomplished zero of our task list. Further, this company will not touch any electrical issues on appliances or machines. On the other hand, Hawkins does. They are clearly a far superior company, from services provided to customer interaction. Don’t waste your time with Kolb for your electrical project, especially small home repairs. Get your money’s worth with a company, like Hawkins Electric, that can tackle the problem effectively, no matter how small.

Camille L: Really strange billing practices. This is the first time I have worked with a contractor who can’t provide any bill or breakdown of the charges when asking for payment. The technician was very nice and capable, but throughout his time working at my home, he could not quantify how much the charges were going to be for me, and the charges were about double what I expected at the end. He was able to help with my electrical panel, my thermostat replacement, a bathroom exhaust fan, and was very capable. However, he told me that I would have to call the accountant to get a basic invoice. I called the office, and they said they did not have any access to that information for 24 to 48 hours. Very strange, and the woman who answered the phone for their “customer service“ was unfriendly. I will not be using them again.

Tehl Fuller: I do not recommend hiring or working with Kolb Electric. Approximately a year ago the property management company I work for hired Kolb Electric for a repair at a home we manage. The electrician went out, completed some unauthorized work, and then sent the invoice to the wrong address. They continued to admit having the wrong address AND wrong phone number on file, so our company never received the invoice. There was a signature on the Time Ticket they could not give a reason for (it did not belong to the resident or us), and there was a note that they had received partial payment which was a false statement (again, unable to be explained). Kolb Electric then sent the past due invoice we never received and our company to a collection agency. As soon as we were notified on November 27th 2018 that we were sent to collections, we reached out to Kolb Electric. After a month we still had not received an updated invoice or any answers to the long list of questions we had; 1. Who signed the paper stating the work was complete? 2. Where did this partial payment come from? 3. Why did you complete work that was not authorized? 4. What are you willing to do to make this right since you admitted to sending the invoice to the wrong address AND calling the wrong number? Finally, the owner of the company was notified. On December 28th, 2018 Paul Kolb agreed to call the owner of our management company on Wednesday January 2nd, 2019 to discuss the sequence of events and how we can make this right. January 2nd came and went, no phone call was received and we never heard from Paul Kolb again. In order to prevent collections from harassing our company and affecting our credit rating, we have decided to pay the bill, even though it was for unauthorized work.

Britney Edwards: The service I received was excellent! Called on a Saturday afternoon for a bad breaker in my pool control box on the hottest weekend (ugh) that was overheating and tripping causing my pool pump to shut off, and they sent someone out within the hour. The tech (Gerber) was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and fixed my problem quickly and checked the rest of the breaker panel for any further issues just to be safe. Definitely recommend this company!!!! I will be calling them in the future with any and all electrical needs we have!

Debbie Vincent: Had a wonderful experience with Kolb tech Paul today. He fixed every thing we needed done (kitchen, doorway, 2 outlets, and 3 way switch) in a reasonable amount of time and at a great value! No more calling our old company who ripped us off ever again...Kolb is our electrician from here on!

Kayla Mozier: Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueI had an emergency situation and Kolb came out first thing on a Saturday morning. The electrician was great, he explained everything to me and fixed the problem quickly. So thankful for Kolb!Service: Electrical power restoration

itsmesusang: Jermaine and Lenny are the best. They did a great job troubleshooting an issue 2 previous electricians could not figure out. They did the work, were very friendly and professional. They vacuumed the area where they did the work and left the area spotless. Would highly recommend them. M R Electricians is lucky to have as employees. 😊.

Ron Parreaguirre: I have been using MR Electricians for over 15 years on construction projects, and for all our Fire Alarm work. The electricians are knowledgeable and professional and clean up after themselves. The owner has extensive knowledge of all phases of the electrical business and his staff are very qualified. Thank you MR for always doing my work. Ron P.

A. O.: Great and honest company. Came out right away for a problem we had at the restaurant we run. They took care of multiple problems we had at a fair and reasonable price. Ben was the gentleman who worked on our issues and we also had them come out to our home for a small problem we had. And once again, Ben did a great job. Will definitely recommend based on their professional work and prompt service.

Tammy White: Very impressed with the quality of their service. The technician was clean, efficient and knew what they were doing. I would use them again and recommend them to my friends and family.

Erin D: Unfortunately on my way home from work I had a M R electrician truck cut me off and proceed to flip me off and roll down his window and yell. Not to smart to do in a company truck. MD license plate number is 8BR0925 PLEASE GET THIS PERSON OFF THE ROAD

Jim Hamster: Absolutely unprofessional attitude!If you are not happy with your life, you don’t have to treat your customers the same way.

Marialyce Mutchler: MR Electricians were very quick to respond, and solved my problem right away. I will definitely use them again.

Joan: We contacted Hawkins electric because all electric outlets on 2nd floor were not working. Tyler, the service technician was excellent in identifying, explaining, & fixing our problem. We are extremely pleased with his knowledge & work! We’ll call him whenever we have any electrical problem. He also replaced outside spotlights & front door light fixtures & dimmer switches. Great work!! Service: General repairs

Sasha Serpa: These guys are were awesome each and every time I’ve called on them. Best electricians, hands down. I refer them to all my clients within our industry because I know they only make me look good. I use them on my own jobs when we need an electrician and I’ve used them at my house to install some new drop lights. My wife was home for that and said their guys were the neatest contractors she’s ever seen. Minimal drywall repair after 4 living room cans were installed (2 small 3”x6” holes were all they had to cut to fish wire for 4 ceiling cans). I’d recommend Hawkins Electric to anyone that wants a fair, professional, and service oriented elwctrixal contractor!

Judy Anderson: Maurice has done electrical work on my home twice recently. He was personable and knowledgeable. The second visit was challenging, with a 1940s fixture that I wanted installed to replace an existing fixture. He made several phone calls to locate a part that would work, and then had to be creative to ensure that it was stable once installed. Many thanks!

Huff Blankenship: Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueTwo young men arrived, Antonio and Kevin, and they were careful not to drag snow/mud into the house by wearing shoe coverings.

Zoya Melnitchenko: Jaffe Electric, inc installed a fan in our attic. I want to express my gratitude to John and Brian for work well-done. They worked quickly and efficiently, with an understanding of what they were doing. After work, they explained and showed the work done. There was good and honest contact with the owner. My husband and I are very pleased. Thank you!

R Suryo: Jaffe Electric is a no nonsense company. We wanted to install an attic fan for our house. Every electrician or roof company we called, they wanted to come first to give a quote. Jaffe Electric did not need any of that. They gave me a standard quote of when I called, which was the cheapest among all the other quotes I have received. To be honest, I was concerned with how cheap it was. I set up the appointment regardless. They came as scheduled, installed the attic fan with no hassle whatsoever. The attic fan works like a charm. We were very pleased with the work product. They cleaned up their work too! I am glad there are still honest electrician out there! Bravo, Jaffe Electric. Keep it up!

Carlo Arthur: Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, ResponsivenessThey arrived at my office less than an hour after I called. I pointed them in the direction of the problem and they got straight to work. Mark and Collin we extremely professional, quick and efficient. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.Service: Light fixture repair

Rich R: Positive: Professionalism, ResponsivenessI used Jaffe for installation of a hot tub circuit. They were very helpful. Ran the circuit through a finished basement. Very knowledgeable. Also used Jaffe to add outlets and lights to a condo. Again, very professional. I will use them in the future for any electrical needs.Services: Installation, Electrical outlet & switch installation

B Thomas: Called Jaffe Electric and spoke with Steve. He was very professional and responsive. He worked around my schedule and arrived on time. He provided his estimate in a timely fashion and ultimately won my business because of his work ethic. (I should mention his pricing was fair). On the day of installation, his employees showed up a few minutes early! (When does that happen? Most companies give a window and can’t even meet that). Not only did they show up on time, but they worked quickly and diligently. I’d highly recommend this company and I’ll use them again in the future!

M. Y.: We had a problem with our generator. Tony and Mark from Jaffe Electric were very methodical in finding out what went wrong and fixing the problem. It was the same experience we had a few years ago when Fred and his Jaffe Electric team installed the lighting system in our Chevy Chase house. The website claims superior service by qualified knowledgeable electricians, and this is precisely what one gets: work and service by top professionals, starting with the owner, Steve Jaffe.

Rudi Kontner: After another widely-known local outfit had utterly failed in attempting to fix a dead wall switch that sends power to a jetted tub, I contacted Jaffe Electric based on the excellent reviews. Chris and Mark were prompt, courteous, and very capable. They had the problem diagnosed and resolved in less than an hour. The service was outstanding and deserving of excellent reviews. I highly recommend Jaffe Electric.

George Grabow: Contacted Michael and Son for general plumbing and pipe repair in a location that had very difficult access. One of their highly experienced plumbers, Eric Blackmon, called and asked to see if he could come early. I was overjoyed as our water supply had to be turned off. Erick immediately assessed the situation and briefed me on some of the complexities and how he planned to proceed with the repairs. He kept me completely informed of his progress and asked me to inspect the project when completed. He was very knowledgeable and shared some of that with me. He then asked if I needed any other repairs work and then made some expert suggestions of other potential problems that I should keep my eye on. This was a very friendly approach with no pressure applied - information only, and I appreciate that. I will certainly ask for him for any future plumbing needs.

Carol Willis: It is unfortunate that this company sends standard responses to complaints and does not reach out directly to the customer. If the person responding to my posting had taken the time to review my account they would see that I called and asked to be contacted by customer relations several times. I am stuck with this heating/hot water heating system that I paid $15,000 for and only worked for 3 months. I am very disappointed. This company installed a furnace and hot water heater system in November. Three months later I discovered water leaking from the system, there was water all over the floor. A tech came out on a Wednesday but was able to make the repair. The tech shut off the valve and had me turn off the system. He returned the next day and stopped the leak. Due to warmer than normal temps I didn’t realize the heat was not working and on Saturday morning the temperature in my house was in the 40s. A tech came out for the third time on Saturday but wasn’t able to fix it. I would have to wait until Monday. The tech returned for the forth time, was here for about an hour. He left saying that he thinks he knows what the issue is but it is 1100 on Monday and I am still without heat and hot water and waiting for the tech to return. I don’t have any confidence that even if this system is fixed that it won’t break down again. I began calling customer service on Saturday when it was clear that the system couldn’t be fixed. I asked for a replacement of my system. Unfortunately the people who could help were not available on the weekend. I waited until 8 on Monday and still had not received a called. At this point I was quite angry. I finally received a call back and I vehemently expressed that I wanted a replacement system. I was told it didn’t work that way and he wasn’t in the mood to be yelled at and hung up. I have been without heat and hot water since Friday and I am unsure when my system will be repaired.

Katherine Musolino: Our technician came for a check on our air conditioning system and was very thorough in the system check and the review of the recommendations, noting was was necessary to address sooner and what we could watch and address down the line. The technician was on time, very courteous, and pleasant to work with. He took the time to explain each recommendation and to answer my many questions. We’ll definitely use them again in the future, and I hope to have the same technician work with us again! Services: HVAC system maintenance , Heating system maintenance

Christine: Michael & Sons has done my furnace installation and electrical panel upgrade as well as regular maintenance on my A/C and heating. They are always professional and are mostly on time. They could be a little better about cleaning up after themselves but it’s not a huge complaint since they do a good job on the actual project at hand. There are small things I wish they would be more clear about such as they won’t be patching the square they cut out of my wall to work on the electrical panel so I have to find someone to do that as I’m not handy myself. They’re not the cheapest service but they’re not the most expensive and most of their services have a pretty good warranty that’s included.

Hong Qiang: Our 15 year old water heater had to get replaced and I was able to get next day service through online scheduling with Michael & Son. The technician came right on time. It was a big job to be done by one person not to mention he has to go get the new unit and to haul away the old one. 5 hours later our hot water system is back in business. The technician is knowledgeable and patient. Great service and I will definitely recommend this company. Service: Water heater installation

R and D: Michael & Son - Plumbing – Shower Repair - 2/23/2022 The technician respected my property by putting on foot covers at the door (each time) and not parking in my driveway without asking. I appreciated that the technician followed health protocols for wearing a face mask. The technician asked about the problem and listened to my concern (“The shower will not stop dripping”). The technician explained his assessment of the problem based on his inspection and he offered a solution. He offered assurance that Michael and Son could fix the problem and the price (up scale) for the service. The technician completed the repairs promptly and professionally. After he completed the repair he showed and explained what he had done. While I am very satisfied with the completed repair, my confidence in Michael & Son could have been boosted higher if the specifics of the written warranty for the services and parts I received today was highlighted on the invoice. I am very satisfied! Service: Shower repair

Marlene Weiss: Jose, the plumber was extremely pleasant, well organized and very professional. If we can have him every time, I would be very happy. His Work is very clean and even answered all our questions. You truly have a great employee. Mr Ed Clark, the manager we worked with was extremely responsive. I know he only started working for your company but after over four months of calling, no responses or call backs from any of your managers, Mr Clark immediately called us back, has been nothing but awesome and saw to it that we got our bathroom done. He told my husband not to have the plumber leave until we were satisfied and Jose’s work was exemplary. With really fabulous employees on your team, my husband and I will remain loyal Mike and sons customers since we know those two are on the car. Mr Clarke, Jose, you don’t know how happy you have made us and after having a few very bad days, Jose lifted my spirit with his smile and at least add approach. We are extremely grateful!

derek heston: Mark came out from Michael & Son. He was great! Professional, on time, and extremely personable. I asked if he would let me watch what he was doing so I could learn a little about what was going on and he explained everything every step of the way. He made sure I was all good with the finished result and was extremely pleasant. I see on their site they have a home care plan and I will definitely be getting that now because of how great Mark was. Service: Faucet repair

For YEARS we sought to find someone who could solve this mystery. Robert Sander came out today and fixed the problem in a matter of minutes! He also solved a problem that we had with another switch that was none functional. We have gone without lights in two rooms for years, finding alternate options in order to function.

Monica Langley: Came to connect a converter, installed wrong way and blew the converter, had to get another one. On top of that, the electrician made a square larger than the access panel so had to get a handyman to fix. I asked for detail Invoice because I thought the electrician overcharged me, no luck.
