B&C Electric

Peter installed a new panel to replace an old, dangerous one, plus a whole house surge protector and a few extra outlets for a very reasonable price. He also gave electrical advice for things we never knew about, plus helped me figure out why a fridge door wouldn’t close properly and a hot water heater exhaust pipe problem. I see the one star reviews here and I don’t know what’s going on. All I know is that it’s been difficult finding competent electricians who work for a fair price. I called one guy who (seriously) showed up drunk. I’d use him again in a heartbeat. Peter, not the drunk guy. In fact, I offered Peter a beer after his hard work in an uncomfortable, warm garage and he stuck to water and soft drinks.

Sent in a request for a quote and the only response was a one line email saying «I’m not available at that time.» No follow up. No alternative times. Nothing. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

Peter was very flexible with regard to initially arranging to come give an estimate for a half dozen items we needed to address before we put our home on the market. When he arrived (Friday) we went through the items and he gave us a very fair quote. We agreed and he was able to start that day, fixing three of them. He returned the next week and everything once again works.
Highly recommend

B&C Electric has done fantastic work on our home for 18 months now. We bought a new home and encountered normal issues with builder grade electrical work. Poor breakers, lower end equipment, etc. B&C revamped and repaired our entire electrical infrastructure including adding outdoor switches for landscaping. They are reliable and timely in their work. We have had no issues. A great vendor.

The B&C crew handled my needs expertly, they were timely, efficient, and took care of the issue I had. Would use them again for any further electrical needs that I have. Peter was professional and friendly.

After an hours-​long do-​it-​yourself light switch project resulted in power loss to half a duplex, I did some Unilocal searching and found Peter. When I called, fairly late in the evening, I spoke directly to him — no message, no waiting. I got an appointment quickly, he arrived on time, and he fixed the problem in about five minutes. (D’oh.) While he was here, he hung a couple of ceiling fans for me, and updated some outdated fixtures in the process. All done in a couple of hours at a surprisingly low cost. He will be my go-​to guy for electrical projects from here on out!

I recently purchased a new home that needed grounding and the addition of a new outlet and Peter was extremely helpful in explaining and fixing our issues. Although there have been a negative reviews about contacting/​scheduling issues, Peter responded to my initial inquiry and all follow-​ups almost immediately and arrived and completed the job in a timely and effective manner. I highly recommend B&C Electric to anyone and will be using them again for any electrician needs I have in the future.

I was having a hard time finding a «good» electrician – everyone I talked to knew an electrician, but not a «good» electrician they would recommend. I found B&C through Unilocal,and the positive reviews are on target.
Peter did a great job troubleshooting and repairing the electrical problems at my house. He came the same day and at the time he said he would. He was very professional. He quickly identified the problems and worked to correct them as economically as possible. I will definitely use him again for future work.

I’ve used Peter in the past and he’s done great work, but something has changed recently. Set up an appointment with him and he never showed. Never got a response. Ended up being a $ 1200 job with another electrician. I understand if business is good and you can’t take every job, but let us know that instead of scheduling and not showing.

Fixed emergency on our own, but kept service appt for peace of mind and safety. Website showed $ 35 service, this was not the case. Text communication good, would be over in the morning (10am), arrived to look over the fix that we did and mentioned he felt he should be doing something for charging $ 150, maybe a fuse change, then proceeded to charge for the fuse after his own suggestion. Website is still under construction and the $ 35 is an error, please be sure to check on fee beforehand. Trip charge and 1 hr minimum is what the base is. Offered suggestion of upgrading the box, but it’s ok for now. Pretty straight talking, too bad the website amount was wrong. Considering we found a solution we would’ve cancelled the appt and saved some money.

I have only wonderful things to say about B and C Electric and Peter. After I got the runaround from 2 other companies on work that I needed done quickly, I found B and C Electric. Peter did everything he said he would do — showed up promptly for our first meeting, gave me real numbers for the job, completed the job on time, and was very personable and easy to deal with. My home had an outdated panel and no GFCI outlets. Peter completed the panel change/​upgrade, installed 2 new circuits, and added all of the necessary GFCI outlets. I would highly recommend this company!!!

I called Peter Thursday afternoon to deal with several issues at our house, and he was on site Friday morning, when he quickly and efficiently handled our problems. Thoroughly professional and knowledgable, with reasonable prices commensurate with the quality of work. (He asked in advance if it would be all right to bring his son to the job site — obviously, this was no issue, and his son was great, a well-​mannered and bright kid who helped out where he could.) Although a small electrical practice, Peter seems ready to handle any residential issues that might come up. Highly recommended.

I called Peter this morning to come to my home to fix an outlet. We confirmed the time of 1p for my appointment. 1pm came and went and Peter didnt show. He didnt call and say he’d be late or wasnt coming until 3pm in which he said he would be at my house in 30 min. Nobody showed up until 4:10pm. Peter showed up with his son (about 7yrs old). Who brings their child to work with them? Very unprofessional. Over the phone Peter said his minimum price is $ 150 but that goes to whatever he fixes. He said its usually about $ 75 to change a plug. Upon arrival Peter troubleshoots and finds one plug that needed replacing. When I asked how much it would cost now the price is suddenly $ 210. Very disappointed in the customer service, sudden change in prices, and unprofessionalism.

I needed an electrician very quickly. I called one place that always advertises on tv & they said it would be over a week before anyone could come to my rescue. I called Peter @ B&C & he couldn’t come tomorrow but could come tonight around 6pm after a job he was doing… after regular working hours… wow! What a great service!
He texted me 15 minutes before he arrived to let me know where he was. When he arrived he got right to the job, had it done efficiently & thoroughly in 30 minutes & was out of there. Whenever I need an electrician in the future, I’ll always call Peter at B&C first!!!

Found these guys on Unilocal and was excited by the reviews. My fiancée called and left a voice message AND texted but… Apparently business is GOOD. Apparently it’s TOO GOOD and they didn’t want OUR business. We had a pretty big job — a job that we ended up paying $ 3K for with another company– when these guys wouldn’t even respond to us. They never returned our phone call and, as you can see, they never responded to my fiancée’s text message…
If you don’t want to come to Carrollton to work — which isn’t even far from their location– just say so. If you’re too booked up, just say so. Give some type of response. Don’t leave people hanging. This seems to be an issue with this company. I scrolled through the reviews and found several people with the same complaint. That’s just poor customer service and rude. Won’t ever call them again.

Peter is an artist at electrical work. Held to the estimate amount that was given and was only half of Cadell Electric estimate. Won’t even consider someone else doing my electrical work from now on. Thanks Peter!

I called, left messages, texted, but never got a hold of a real person and no one ever returned my call. I left details regarding what I needed done, maybe they screen their the jobs and mine was too small :(But I called Electricians on Call and talked to the owner who came out the very next day to complete the job and even gave me a discount on what he quoted me the day before!

Great work. Fair price. Prompt service. Thanks Peter!

I followed Unilocal reviews and decided to call.
Wow, i have dealt with many electricians over the years, But This Guy was the BEST.
Fair Fee, quick and anxious to do a good job and at the same time save me money.
I’ll call hime again!

I chose B & C because it was close to my home and the ratings were excellent. The ratings do not lie! I called at 6:30pm on a Friday evening to have a ceiling light installed. Obviously, this was not an emergency, but Peter went out of his way to accommodate me, and he came early Saturday morning. He was friendly and very helpful! He walked me through each step of the installation so that in the future, I could do it myself. He worked very quickly, and my light looks wonderful! He had finished his work and was loading his truck, when I mentioned my landline that I was going to set up later that day. Without hesitation, he turned around and set it up for me! I had no intention to have him do that… I was really laughing at myself for putting it off!
All in all, if you need any type of electrical repair or installation, do not hesitate to call Peter. He is honorable, personable, and a master of his craft.
