John went above the call of duty to resolve my issues. When the home store botched my heater order, John was able to repair an old one instead. He worked hard, cleaned up his messes, and did a great job.

Contractor showed up on time and gave me a reasonable quote to replace an old ceiling fan/light with a new fixture and 3 way switch. Since I already had all the necessary material, he said he could do it right now while he was already here. He made sure to check that I was happy with the mounting height and even took the new fixture down and rehung it when the initial height was too low. Would certainly consider John again for any future electrical work.

John was very quick to respond and came out in a timely fashion to assess and make the needed repair. Not knowing exactly what the problem with our garage electric was, we were pleasantly surprised not only with the quick repair but the reasonable rate for the work.

John was quick to respond to my request and came out the same day to replace my roof fan. He did an excellent job at a very reasonable price and was very courteous and polite. I would use him again for any electrical needs at my home.

we needed 2 fans installed in our mobile home. I realize this is hard at best, the one in the frontroom had to have the electical installed on the surface. the piping was not put in straight and we had to have him come out to fix. Which he did within 48 hrs, it looks fine now but it should have been done right the first time.

On June 3, 2010, Mr. John Vanecek was awarded contract for electric job lfor the price of $1,500.00, quoted by him. He was paid $750.00 as 50% security deposit for this job. As per contract, he was supposed to complete this job within 2 weeks. However, he has not yet completed the job. I have tried to contact him by phone more than two dozen times, but he is not responding and neglected to return my repeated calls. This is real cheat and clear violation of legal contract. He must refund my deposit and pay for damages. How you say that you have verified his crednetiials and made me to trust this untrustworthy guy.

Mr. Vanecek showed up with an assistant. Both worked diligently on the assigned work and he came back again himself later on another, unexpected development which he also took care of successfully. Relative to time spent and results, charges were quite reasonable. Plan to call him again on some additional work.

Vanacek Electric went above and beyond to fix my problem with an electrical outlet in my garage. I was on a tight timeframe as the house needed to pass inspection before a sale in 72 hours. John came the same day on short notice and returned the next day to finish the job. John didn't leave until he spoke to the Village Inspector and made sure what he did was satisfactory to the Village of Brookfield. Can't recommend any higher.

Ceiling Fan Installation
The job was to install 7 ceiling fans, 1 light fixture and 1 chandelier. After 7 hours of doing god knows what, 1 light fixture was installed and 3 of my existing light fixtures which worked perfectly fine are no longer working at all. I was told the wiring was outdated. Look, I'm not an electrician but once the condition of the wires were discovered I would think you'd do one of two things,recommend changing them or leave the existing fixture. Not pull and yank at the wires until you short out the circuit so many times that it don't work at all. Not to mention the other two fixtures which no longer work. Just a lot of time wasted.
Response from Vanecek Electric
"Cutomer was quoted for standard installation of fixtures and fans.Was able to install 1st fixture with little problem.Encountered problems at the back of home with rooms with incorrect mounting boxes and wires frayed and insulation crumbling on contact, causing shorts in circut and the breaker to trip.It was at this point we recomended he rewire home,after looking at the extent of wiring problem."
