When I called for an estimate, on two separate occasions I was told that the job of dropping a 220V line from one room to the room next door would cost around $200. The first hour costs $130 and then there is an $80 fee for the second hour. When the nice guy came he opted out of crawling into the attic and just convinced me it was best to put junction box and a flex pipe to the new location 2 feet into the next room over. I was told the estimate for my original request would cost much, much more!? I agreed to the cost of $230 with the electrician telling me it might not take the full amount of time. When he finished less than 45 minutes later, I expected to not pay the price of two hours. No sir. When I brought it to his attention when it was time to pay, I said, but it took less than an hour? He agreed and said the rest of the cost was parts. He used : 2 metal boxes, 2 ft of 220v wire and metal flex pipe, and a socket that cost me $100?! Oh yes, he also used a handful of wingnuts. Add the tax on top of that and he got paid $250 and was here less than an hour!!! In a nutshell, he knew I had budgeted around $230, so.....He overcharged me and blamed it on a few parts?! Think you are going to pay the proper rate? Well, dont forget about the inflated prices of parts that cost them pennies. I expected honesty and work done as estimated. Instead, I get overcharged for a crooked metal box sticking out of the wall. :( Find a company that doesnt bait you with a low estimate!!! I would have given 1 star, but the electrician was pleasant and did the job quickly. Its just sad he overcharged me.

First time home buyers. Power kept flickering and shutting off. Called the first number we found. Wish we had shopped around. We asked them to install the bathrpom fan. Technician straight up said he didnt want to go into attic and if he had to he would take his time to run the hourly bill up. We also found out we needed a new breaker box. Just to find out this information we paid over 200 bucks i believe. Then we scheduled appt for breaker box which was a week out and 1600 bucks. Wish we had known before hand to tell them they had to clean up after themselves and not destroy the drywall. My 3 year old is still finding pieces despite me vacumming. There work did NOT pass inspection the first time around. We were told the inspector would be scheduled for Wednesday and he came Friday (they told us this is normal for the city). Anyway, after it didnt pass they sent someone back out to fix it. They told us that they would schedule the inspector to come back out wednesday. Friday rolls around and we call to find out they forgot to schedule it. Spouse spoke to someone in effort to have them fix the damage or at least buy the drywall and we will install it. They had us send pictures then stopped responding.

I always use Prairie Electric for the important electrical work at FarmHill Equestrian Center, my large WOODEN horse barn, where one electrical problem could lead to disaster. Thats why I use the very best electricians...Prairie Electric. They are responsive, thorough, informative, and reasonably priced. (If you dont think so, compare prices with other quality electricians!) Recently, Christian came out to find a short circuit that was plaguing our office, and he figured out a way to rewire the circuit that was more efficient and less expensive. Hooray for Prairie Electric!

Was nearly ran over by one of their trucks. The driver and passengers then proceeded to laugh and wave at my family like it was some sick joke. We reported the van number (374) to their office but they didnt seem concerned in the slightest. Gave us the impression they expect this type of behavior from their staff. If that sort of dangerous and irresponsible behavior by their employees is any indication, I wouldnt let them change the batteries in my TV remote.

We had the guys at Prairie Electric come out to put up a security light in the back of our house and look at some other electrical problems we were having. The electrician was friendly, very helpful and got the job done quickly. He also troubleshooted another issue we were having where our lights kept blowing a fuse every time we turned our bathroom and bedroom light on at the same time. We were very happy with the work and would recommend them to anyone!

I have used Prairie Electric for two jobs at my home. I have found them to be very prompt and extremely professional. Their workmanship was great and their employees have always been courteous and very knowledgeable. I will continue to use them for all my future electrical needs.

These guys provide excellent service. They didnt mind me watching them work and took the time to answer questions I had. Even the county inspector was impressed. Ill use them again if I need work done.

Weve had multiple electricians in our home, but none as great as Dan Niemi. Dan was efficient, courteous and did a wonderful job cleaning up.
