Ideal Electric

Andy was great. Came out the next day. I called 6 pm on a Saturday. Came out did the work at the estimated cost. Got us up and running again. Explained why were having issues.

I would recommend Andy\Andrew for any job.

Had a fantastic experience with Andrew - installed a 240 volt circuit in my garage behind the dry wall. All work was professionally done, everything works great and he was very friendly. I would recommend.

Great service

Installed outdoor heaters in 2022. Andy claimed we needed 4AWG wiring and I agreed to add the cost of the thicker wire. He claimed cost was $1,800 for 100 feet, $700 more than the consumer price on the City Electric Supply website at the time. As far as the quality of the work, our Control panel was mis-wired and I had to fix myself through multiple calls and emails with the manufacturer, while Andy claimed we had the wrong heater filaments. Not recommended.

Called up Ideal. Explained how my house is old and current setup (while works) is not code compliant. Previous owners over the years just got things working. Ive spent some weeks mapping out my entire home electrical and reading code before i decided to hire this out. I wanted some new circuits and fully expected him to follow code.

Strike 1- He graciously upgraded a 15amp breaker to a 20amp tandem to make room for my new circuits. Romex is 14-2. Thanks

Strike 2 - he left all his wire clippings and romex sheathing in my attic and garage floor.

Strike 3 - since he didnt want to move some other 15amp breakers to tandem breakers to make room in my box, he put my new circuits on a double pole common trip... kicker is, he shared it with a 15amp 220v circuit using the single poles (no common trip).

I went ahead and fixed his shortcomings and had to buy a new double pole common trip 15amp with two single poles.
.. moved some other 15 amp circuits over to it and upgraded some of the other breakers to 20amps.

The only redeeming quality was he answered my calls and showed up to do the job. Regreafully so though.

2 stars because he isnt just quite 1 star bad.
