Pros: the technician came out when he said he would at 10am on Friday, and apparently the job was done correctly. Cons: Overpriced, we felt completely taken advantage of and ripped off. Company charged $600 for 3 hours of work. Part of the work we were charged for included a 45 minute trip to Home Depot for copper wire the technician did not have. I asked the technician for a receipt for the wire, which was not provided. The wire apparently cost about $150, I had to call Home Depot myself to see what the price was. Before leaving this review, I contacted the owner to see if I had misunderstood the pricing. The work was not an emergency, and was performed on a Friday during regular business hours at 10am. Owner returned call and said that this job was priced as a FLAT FEE of $600, and not hourly. A reasonable hourly rate for an electrician should be $85/hour, and not $150 - $200 per hour. I would never have hired this company for a flat fee of $600 for 2 hours of work plus a trip to Home Depot. Overall: We will never use this company again. If you consider using the company,obtain both the hourly rate and bid from them IN WRITING before hiring them. We feel like we were taken advantage of and will be using a different company next time.

I recently woke up to get ready to leave for vacation and found our refrigerator wasnt working, and it was on a saturday. Pulled it away from the wall and realized the back of fridge was pressed up against the cord plugged into the outlet, and had caught fire. Luckily the fire didnt spread and just went out, but we needed to leave to go on vacay. On Time electric was at my house in less than 2 hours, changed out the outlet and replaced the plug to my fridge in about 30 mins. A fair price, quick & friendly service, and on a saturday, where 2 other companies said they couldnt make it out until Monday. I have seen other reviews saying they were overcharged, but I believe those people are unreasonable and dont understand the costs involved for service companies like On Time. $125-$150 for a specialty trade is extremely fair when considering travel time, insurance, gas, tools, etc. etc etc... Try to do it yourself and see how it goes. If youre still alive, I bet youll be appreciative that they only charge $150. Thank you, On Time Electric, for bailing us out of a jam, being professional & On Time, and not charging emergency rates!

Big relief! Thank you OTE for helping me out with my electrical issues at my new (old!) house. After having some issues with another local company, I didnt know who to call when OTE was recommended to me. We had a little hitch in the beginning, but Rick, the owner, called and insisted on getting my problem taken care of. He sent Tom out the next morning, and not only was Tom hilarious and nice, he obviously really knows his stuff. He not only fixed the original problem I was having, but when he discovered that one of our switches wasnt even grounded, he came up with a way to fix it without having to tear my ceiling and walls apart (I have a flat roof - so it was tricky!). And they were extremely reasonably priced - I thought it was going to cost me a fortune - but Toms fix saved the day and my wallet. Thank you Rick, Tom and On Time Electric!

I dont usually go out of my way to post bad reviews but I need to make a big suggestion. Make sure you find out what the trip charge is going to be before agreeing to service from one time. My fault I guess but the service tech game out for about 5 minutes and determined that I did not have an electrical problem. Tested to make sure I had electric current and done in 5 minutes. No work. No parts. This was not a rush or a priority request. He handed me an invoice for 150. I have paid up to 75 for non rush service charge before but 150 was unacceptable. I called the owner and he dropped it 95.00 which was great but the fact that he attempted to extract 150 for doing no work was insulting. Lesson learned. Find out the trip charge before they come out or you may be charged law attorney rates for a trip to your house.

Heads up! Make sure you get a price before they come out. On Thursday it was $225 for a new breaker (15 amp) and a triple switch plate installation. On Friday breaker continued to trip and continued losing power, so they came out again-that was $125.00 to put in a higher amp breaker (20 amp) for which the technician told me unfortunately he didnt have his truck with all his equipment so he had to make some trips to Lowes. Then today cost me $475.00 to have a double outlet installed--again tech had no truck and had to make a couple of trips to Lowes, for which I figured electricians should have tools and parts. I did call Rick (owner) to tell him I felt that was a little excessive, but he said thats the cost of the job. Very courteous, but overpriced and wont be using their services again.

We will definitely call this company again. While on the phone I provided a list of what we needed done and asked for a guess-estimate based on what I provided. He explained it was a flat fee for each item with the exception of outlets because he could not diagnose the issue. Peter came on Friday following a courtesy call to provide an ETA. He installed light fixtures, fixed outlets, and mounted a television. He was very professional and friendly. He was here for about 4 hours working hard to check items off our list. The price came within $35 of what the owner explained. They did a great job and were priced fairly for quality work.

Third time I hired them, first 2 times the work was done in a timely manner. This time the electrician showed up and needed to go to the store, came back 1 and a half hours later and immediately left to "get something not related to the job". Apparently he had to pick up a personal item by noon and left our job to get it. So after 3 and a half hours the 30 minute job was finally completed. He installed a light fixture above our front door and add a light switch to an existing light. We were charged $300, apparently we paid by the hour for his guy to drive around running personal errands. DO NOT HIRE THEM!

I called to have work done. I was given a price and a time. No one showed or called at the agreed on time. After waiting an hour past the agreed on time I called to see what was going on. The phone was answered. I said I had a scheduled appointment for work. I was immediately hung up on. I promptly sent a text telling them thanks for considering doing my job; however, I would find another company. I wasted vacation time for the appointment. They may do good work or show up for you but based on my experience I would not recommend them to anyone.
