The service was great. the guys that came to do the install were very professional and knowledgable about their trade. they showed a love for their work. My only complaint is that I bought 2 groupons from this company. 1 to install recessed lighting and 2 to install an attic fan. when i called to make my appointment for install I specifically asked for both services to be performed on the same day so that I wouldn't have to take more than one day out. I was told that each install would take approximately 4 hours and that the installs would have to be scheduled back to back instead of for the same time frame. that meant that installers would be at my house for approximately 8 hours on the day of the install. I was fine with that and scheduled my install date. <br /> When the guys showed up at my house they were ready to install the recessed lighting, but had no idea that I was supposed to get an attic fan installed. They took the time to call back to the company to find out what was going on. I was told that the attic fan install wasn't scheduled at all. The crew that showed up stated that they loved to do electrical work and if time permitted would have no problem installing my attic fan too. They were able to install the fan in record time and was only at my house for about 5 1/2 hours and completed both jobs. Because of this I am giving them an A rating, because I was very pleased with their work and professionalism and willingness to help me. <br />

Beacon arrived on time to install an attic fan. The employees were courteous and professional. They took the time to review and explain the installation with me and went over everything afterwords. The 'courtesy review' of my home's electrical systems did offer some good information/feedback, but also seemed a bit excessive in suggesting thousands of dollars of recommended repairs. <br />

Victor showed up on time, advised me what he was going to do regarding the electrical panel and answered any questions i had. He did the work efficiently and in a timely manner. I had him come back to do some additional work a few weeks later. He rewired my microwave connection and changed out my range outlet. Very professional. <br />

I did not contact the company immediately after purchase due to leaving on vacation. Upon return, I was told that the first available date was now in September. This somewhat defeats the purpose of installing an attic fan as summer is pretty much over, however to their credit they kept looking for openings and were able to fit me in the middle of August. I was not present the day the install occurred, so I won't comment on that. However, there were 2 issues that later arose. One was finding a full tube of roofer's tar in my garage, which led me to wonder whether it had ever been applied during the install. To alleviate that concern (and clean my gutters) I decided to go on the roof myself and take a look, where I found the 2' by 2' section of my roof that had been cut out to install the fan just laying there near the newly installed fan. That section of roof, with shingles attached, was laying with the protruding nails downward and would have eventually damaged my roof. Needless to say, the installer had put roofing tar around the fan, but I'm not impressed with his carelessness. Had I not gone on the roof, that piece could have sat there for a long time, as it was not visible from below. Hopefully I won't have any leaks and this fan will work properly. I have not been into my attic to inspect the work that occurred there. <br />

I had a ceiling fan install by Michael & Son during the summer heat wave. They told me I needed an attic fan and game me an estimate. Beacon Electrical's deal on Angie's List was more than $200 cheaper so I decided to give it a try. This was the first Angie's Deal I've bought. The company promptly called and made an appointment that was convenient for me. They informed me over the phone that if the attic didn't have an electrical line for a light, it would cost about $100 to install the line and light. I thought it was still a good deal and went ahead. As it turned out, my attic had a light already. No problems with the vent fan or installation. <br />

The work went well. During the project, Victor discovered that my electrical panel needed to be replaced (it is soddered and only 150 amps), the house is not properly grounded, and that my washer and microwave are not on independent lines. He walked me through the process, showed me some of the problems, what it meant, and how they should be fixed. I also asked him to take a look at my attic fan, which has not worked since I moved in a few months ago. He quickly diagnosed the problem and showed me what needs to be done (the old fan seized, and because no one installed a kill switch with the old fan, they simply cut the power lines to the fan). I knew there were some problems with the electrical system, but what I didn't know, Victor was able to explain in layman's terms. He is great and I highly recommend Beacon. I am going to use them to make the necessary repairs to my electrical panel and will also use them to install a new attic fan next spring. <br />

Great job by Beacon Electrical.I have an old house with a quirky attic so their job installing the recessed lights in my bedroom was very challenging and took longer than usual. They were friendly, curteous and did a great job. Would definitely use again. <br />

The home has had a lot of non-professional work done to the electrical system over the past 60 years (we just moved in 2 months ago). Despite running into many "surprises" that were left behind from the previous owners, Jessie and the rest of the Beacon staff remained on budget and provided high quality service. Jessie stayed and worked a 14 hour day just because he didn't want to leave the job until we had power. We are very satisfied with the work performed. <br />

Victor is very professional and great electrician. This is the second job that I have had Beacon complete for me and I have been highly pleased both times. When Victor installed the 4 recessed lights in my kitchen, he connected them to an existing light fixture. When he removed the fixture we discovered it had been installed wrong and even dangerously. He promptly came up with a solution, got the parts out of the van, and it was fixed within minutes. A previous owner had installed a pot rack light fixture without an electrical housing box which can cause fires if it was to short. I have better peace of mind knowing Beacon has done the job. <br />

The installers arrived promptly, made the measurements, double-checked with me, and proceeded to do the work. I did two upgrades (matching receptacles to what was already installed, and a switch dimmer for the light rather than the "pushbutton" type). Each was an additional charge. <br /> They managed to install without having to enter the walls, and re-routed my switches to be more convenient with the newly installed lights. I was, and continue to be very satisfied with the work. <br /> I recommend them, and will use them in the future for my electrical needs. Top-shelf people. <br />

The technician arrived early to complete the installation. He was very polite and worked quickly. I was concerned about an extra cost to adjust the size of the hole if the new attic fan was not the same size as the existing attic fan, but when he did his assessment, the new attic fan turned out to be the same size and he said that he would recut the hole at no extra charge if necessary. The technician did convince me to upgrade the attic fan for an additional $120 to the attic fan that has a lifetime warranty, rather than a 2 year warranty from the manufacturer. He explained the benefits and was not pushy about upgrading. The installation was completed quickly and he discussed setting the temperature at which the attic fan would operate. He also completed a free electrical checkup on the house and provided some other improvements the company could assist with. All in all, a good experience. <br />

Electrical work was great. <br /> The price did not include repairing the ceiling where they cut holes to run the wiring. Fortunately I am handy and was able to repair this myself. <br />

Kevin was friendly and courteous. He had just come from a difficult job with another customer, and was called back to that customer's house about halfway through doing my work. He was late returning to my house and, because of my evening commitments, ended up having to return the next week to finish up. Despite this disruption, I was pleased overall. I paid $399 for the Angie's List deal, which was to replace up to 25 electrical outlets. There was an additional $17.50 charge for each outlet that needed to have a "tail" (I think that's what he called it), which I had not anticipated. If I had realized that going in, I might not have signed up for the deal because of the added cost ($399 sounds so much cheaper than $610), but when all was said and done, I was glad I had the work done and will use Beacon again if/when I need electrical work done. <br />

We had used Beacon for another property we own and they did a great job and they were reasonable and timely. Then a few weeks later Half of the power went out at our house. This meant we had no water and half of the power to our house was gone, no way to cook and we have 4 disabled kids , some of whom have special diets that required hot water and some are on feeding tubes. We called Beacon. They arranged for Victor to come help. That was at 3:30pm. They said he would be here by 5:30 and he was here by 6:00. He immediately explained their rates and how he would handle our call. He then went to work checking our main panel. Then he went outside and discovered I had a problem at the meter entrance to our house. He had me call the local power company but then he spoke to the tech there himself and explained the problem and told them about our circumstances. This allowed the electric company to bring the correct tools. Victor stayed with us until the power company arrive at 7:00 pm and then he remained and helped the power company tech correct the problem. It was round 8:00 pm. He did this on his own time and did not charge us any extra. Victor really went above and beyond the call of duty! We have some other electrical work to be done and we'll definitely use Beacon! <br />

The master electrician we got (Jessie) was very thorough. He came a week prior to do a pre-installation survey. On the day of the replacement, he arrived early and spent the full day into Friday evening to complete the work. He came back the following business day to do a full house electrical health check and found a few minor things that even the inspector missed when we bought the house. He was completely up to date on current codes and even popped out a couple of outlets to check the type of connectors that were used when the house was built. <br /> Overall, we feel very confident in the quality of our electrical system now with our shiny new panel and surge supressor system. <br /> <br /> <br />
