I found Andrew to be punctual, conscientious and very able. The task involved installing an electrical outlet in our garage which had finished walls. He was able to run wiring from an outlet in the guest bedroom on the other side of the wall without damage to the bedroom wall and by cutting a 6x12 opening in the garage wall to route the wiring. In craftsman-like fashion he and his coworker repaired that opening rendering it unnoticeable. I highly recommend Idea Electric.

I can't rate the work quality until I see how long the repair lasts, but this survey won't let me leave a question unanswered. I'll give the benefit of the doubt

Juan, the electrician assigned to the job, was terrific. His approach to the job was logical seeking out all potential options before beginning to cut into dry walls and ceilings. His attention to detail was refreshing and I will recommend him at every opportunity

Andy, the owner of the company, came out and gave me an estimate. We thoroughly discussed how the wiring in my husbands office needed to be rewired. He said, it would be done, in the wall, with minimal damage, and through the attic, to the ceiling to an existing wire that was up on a beam in the middle of the ceiling, where an old, non working ceiling fan was. When his electrician came out, the job was not explained to him. So, I attempted to explain it. He barely spoke or understood English. Andy came over, and I thought all was well. When Andy told me there wasn't a remote control for the ceiling fan, I was confused as to why the couldn't use the existing or new light switch, since they were running "new wiring." He offered to have his wife pick up a universal remote. So, I said okay. When she showed up with the remote, she also asked for the payment in full, even though the job wasn't even completed. I was hesitant, but, because I went through Home Advisor, I was too trusting. Bottom line is, there was no new wiring as promised and agreed to. It was just a simple fan installation, which I could have saved over a $150. on, by just having the handyman that I hired to install a window blind at the same time, do. I feel ripped off, taken advantage of, and completely lied to. Instead of the $220. rewiring job I was promised, it cost me an additional, $45. for the universal remote. This company does not do what they promise to do, even when they come out, it's discussed, and agreed upon. Maybe he thought that because I am a woman, I didn't know what I was talking about. He was wrong. I used to be the assistant manager of a 126 unit apartment complex. One that was built in the 1940's for Lockheed employees and their families. Nothing in our apartments was even close to current codes. We were constantly updating the electricity in the units. This was my first time, using outside help, as a new home owner, and new San Diegan. I will not make this mistake again. I thought I'd done enough research, but, I was mistaken. Andy and his wife were friendly, I'll give them that.

Andrew was excellent in troubleshooting our project. Andrew was very flexible in working around my crazy schedule, gave me a free estimate, and completed the work at a very reasonable price (no upsells ). I will use Andrew for all my future electrical projects
