"Ahmad was a true professional!! He came in and looked at what I wanted done and was able to start and complete the light/ceiling fan repositioning in the same visit. He was kind and very informative and made my electrical installation safe (which it wasn’t before). Thank you for your kindness and for explaining everything to me so now I know what to look for and what questions to ask in the future!!!"

"John and Core Trade are truly awesome. Our builder used them for our entire house, and as we have added things or changed things over the years, we’ve continued to use them. They are wonderful. Very communicative, practical, and easy to work with. I usually have a million questions and they always have answers. We had one situation where the heater they installed for us (we picked it out, not them) had manufacturing defects and they went out of their way to spend the time needed to figure it out, even setting up a call with the manufacturer to get to the bottom of the issue. They’ve done it all for us — wiring the whole house, installing lighting, extending power underground to a backyard patio, adding wattage to outlets so we could install a sauna and heaters, installing fans and lighting, changing out light switches, etc. They go above and beyond and we truly trust them at every step. Don’t give it another thought. Just hire them and you’ll be very happy!"

"Unfortunately I hired NASR Electric for the purpose of repairing my Hot tub exterior circuit breaker panel, but his inspection revealed the problem was my hot tub, not the circuit breaker panel. Yet, he helped me get to the root of the problem, so now its off to a hot tub repair person..."

"My AC unit was misbehaving. I called Snell after being told by another contractor I would have to replace the indoor and outdoor unit for ~$8k. Italo walked me through the diagnostic process, explaining every detail (I asked him to) and I learned a ton. The other guys were not interested or possibly not equipped experience-wise to repair the unit. Italo was incredible. I will be calling these guys when my HVAC system eventually dies. I never felt like he was trying to pull one over on me."

"On June 10, I had a company to install security equipment in my home. In doing so, the installer drilled through a wire and I did not have electricity in several outlets due to the damage. Since the company did not have an electrician on staff and was unable to refer me to anyone, I turned to Angie’s List for help in finding someone to correct the problem. I called Hands on Electric on June 11 and spoke to the owner, Kevin Williams. I explained my problem to Mr. Williams and he gave me a window of time in which he would be able to come out. Not only was he able to come out the same day that I called, but Mr. Williams was able to come much earlier than expected. Once he arrived he was able to trouble shoot and diagnose the problem. Mr. Williams was very, very friendly, professional and honest. He was able to answer my husband’s questions and explained what he was doing as he made the repairs. My husband was very happy about that and we were both impressed by the years of experience Mr. Williams had for his age. I have been looking for an electrician for a while now and have decided that I will be using Hands on Electric for all of my future projects. I was very pleased with the work that was done by Mr. Williams and will recommend him to my friends and family when they need of electrical services."

"I was referred to Kolb Electric by my home warranty service. There were two issues, both in the bathroom: 1. The light fixture did not work. I had changed the bulb but still no light. Could not determine the issue on my own so I contacted an electrician. 2. One of the two plugs on the outlet did not work. The latter issue was relatively easy to resolve. The repair person happened to have a GFI receptacle and was able to replace. He noted that the cost was normally $30 + tax for the part but he did not charge me. The reset had broken on the other one. With the former issue, the technician was taking a very long time (more than 30 mins) to diagnose the problem. His conclusion was that i needed a new fixture entirely. The one I had was a T12 ballast fixture and he recommended a T8 ballast fixture. I asked him to explain the rationale as well as the difference between the two. He didn't provide a very thorough or clear explanation, except to repeatedly say that I needed a new fixture. In reality, what he was recommending was a new striplight--not a new fixture. [Note: I purchased a new T8 light strip from Amazon for a whopping $16.45.] When I asked if he was able to make this repair, he noted that he had to contact my home warranty service to get approval. I could not recall immediately if my home warranty covered parts, etc. I looked through my files for a copy of the policy while he spoke with the home warranty service via phone. He shared with me that he'd now been at my home for more than an hour, and there would be charges for subsequent time. [Note: He was on the phone with the home warranty company from 8:49 am - 9:20 am.] I asked him how he'd calculated that, since it had been less than an hour, and he said that he included the time it took him to find parking. Even now, nearly two years later as I write this, I still can't believe he actually said that. If every repair or service person charged their customers in DC for time they search for parking, no one would ever be able to afford a repair service. This is a major metropolitan city and you're arriving during the AM rush hour (arrived at 7:40 am). As he spoke (allegedly) to the warranty company, presumably his dispatcher/supervisor and me, he kept changing the cost to stay--from $246 to $305 to $185 (for the fixture alone) to $270. At this point, I decided to wrap up our interaction, and told him I'd be in touch if I needed him (which I never would). I gave him a check for $75--the cost per the warranty company for the visit. In the end, I never called him or Kolb back. It took 2 more electricians to diagnose the problem (see my POSITIVE review of A Action Home Services). In the end, it wasn't the fixture at all. A neutral connection had to be repaired. Once that was fixed, and a new bulb installed, ta-da: light! I'm being generous with my rating mostly because he did fix the plug.
