"It went great. I have used Electric Solutions of Richmond three times thus far. I could not be any more pleased with the company. Joe (the electrician) is so easygoing and amazing to work with. It is great to be able to upgrade fixtures, fans, plugs, etc. in my older home knowing the work will be done right and at a cost that is more than fair. They are fast, efficient, and very affordable. I highly recommend this company for any electrical needs a homeowner might require. Cathy K"

"I know nothing about electrical work. And living in DC it just never feels easy to get stuff done in our apartment--we don't know who to hire, prices are super high, etc. I found Murphy Family Services on Angie's List and called them because they had so many positive reviews. After working with them to install three ceiling fans in our bedrooms, I understand why they have so many positive ratings; I would highly recommend them. Making the appointment was really easy as I received a response within minutes of sending an inquiry. I was a little surprised by the idea of paying for a half or whole day rather than per fan, but in the end I understand how working on a half/whole day schedule makes a lot of sense, and their prices was fairly reasonable. Our electrician, Jake, was very professional and friendly. He answered all of my questions and explained everything he needed to do. I would absolutely recommend Jake and Murphys Family Services. We will definitely call them again."

"This was a great find!
Wes arrived for a same day estimate on a rainy day.  Arrived the next day to do the work.
This included deck platform repair that had a whole punched in it from a fallen tree.  I also had overhead storage racks to be installed in a garage.  He and his assistant both too great care in the installation and explaining additional options if I need more storage.
Very professional at a very reasonable price.  I will definitely use him again!

"Bob had to cancel the first appointment we had due to bad weather, but he was very responsive when I got back in touch to have him do the work once it warmed up a little bit. He repaired a fence gate that had begun to drag the ground making it impossible to open all the way. He also reinforced a few sections of the same fence that had begun to come apart from the posts over time. Good work and a very nice guy. Will definitely keep him in mind for future projects.

"Technician came to the house and analyzed the problem. It was determined that the cost of repair was over the allowable Choice Home Warranty limit and it should be replaced. Choice Home Warranty issued their replacement cost. This cost was unacceptable and I challenged their figure. After some negotiation I was offered an increased settlement amount. I still balked at their offer but I was told to take it or repair my old microwave. I finally accepted their amount, even though it is still well below what it will cost me to replace the unit. I might add that the existing microwave has the convection feature and I want to replace with same features. The cost that I will receive also does not include any removal, disposal or installation costs. At this time I am debating whether I will continue with Choice Home Warranty or consider other options."

"I called this afternoon, left a message, and received an immediate call back.
I explained that we needed a bath exhaust fan replaced.
He asked if I wanted a basic replacement that would run around $50 plus labor, or something nicer.
I opted for the basic model, as this is a spare bath.
He offered to send a workman out immediately.
My mistake was not asking for an estimate, or at least asking what the labor charge would be.
The workman, Mike, came as promised, with the basic model fan in tow. He had to do a little fitting work, but in just over an hour, the work was done, and all was cleaned up.  
He came in with an un-itemized bill, and said, "I called Mike, and he said $295.00"  I was a little surprised, but wrote him a check.
As I said, I should have asked what the labor charge would be, never dreaming that he would charge $200 an hour!
I doubled checked the model of fan I got, which was indeed around $50.
So it was an expensive lesson for me. Won't use this company again.

UPDATE: Because we were so upset by the very high price, we called Mr Cole the day after we wrote this review.
He promised to check with his workman and call us back the next day.
Well, almost two weeks later, and a follow email from us, we have heard nothing.
And he cashed the check.

Well, he got his money, but no more business from us, or our neighbors!"

FAQs for attic or whole house fan service projects in Richmond, VA

Attic fans may not significantly lower your energy bill, as the electricity they use can offset savings from reduced cooling costs. However, they can reduce the strain on your air conditioner by removing hot air from the attic, potentially improving your home's overall energy efficiency. Additionally, attic fans help reduce humidity and protect your roof from extreme heat.

An attic fan can last up to 15 years under optimal conditions. Proper installation, regular maintenance, and environmental factors all influence its lifespan. Routine cleaning, lubricating moving parts, and professional inspections can help preserve your fan's efficiency. An attic fan installer near you will install one that works best in your climate.

Signs of a bad attic fan motor include a burning electrical smell coming from the exhaust vent or the fan not turning on. However, a non-functioning fan can also indicate other issues, such as a faulty thermostat, mechanical failure, or a bad electrical connection. Call a local professional to accurately diagnose the problem and suggest viable solutions.

It's not necessary to turn off your attic fan in the winter. Running the fan during the colder months of the year can help reduce attic moisture, prevent ice dams on the roof, and lower the risk of mold growth. If you choose to turn off your attic fan, ensure that attic vents remain open to allow proper airflow.
