First Electric Inc

I’m ashamed to publicly admit that First Electric is charging me about $10,000.00 more than is reasonable to wire a new house. I requested the owner to talk to me, and he completely blew me off. Then when CAEC turned on the electric to the house, there was a huge BANG. This brought down two transformers, and with them my whole neighborhood’s electricity. First Electric caused this because they mixed up wires for the generator connection. Because of this colossal screw up I finally got the owner, Chris, to call me, and he said this was just "human error." This error could have killed a human or burned my house down. In addition, it has taken First Electric an unreasonable amount of time to accomplish any work. They send one or two guys are infrequent and irregular intervals for a few hours at a time. It is unfortunate I did not sign a contract with time requirements. There is serious reason to believe that the owner and his employees are incompetent. I need to have a third party inspect their work before I’ll let electricity into my walls because I cannot trust their work. I highly recommend in the interest of safety (and your checkbook) that no one ever hires First Electric.

First Electric is wonderful! They are courteous promt, and efficient. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again if we need an electrician. Thank you for a great job!

Chris and Ashley were so kind and friendly. They were able to get my work scheduled quickly. Travis and Carlos showed up on time, we’re very polite and did great work!

Hello. Long story. First Electric used to be my go-to electrician, through a decade and three houses. Small business and they used to be awesome. I guess they are just too busy now, as they won’t return calls or answer the telephone, and when they do answer, I’m told that someone will call me shortly, but that never happens. I’ve placed no less than a half dozen calls over a month trying to get them to install recessed lighting, and no progress toward an appointment or even a quote. I’m giving up. As much as I used to love them for their responsiveness and small-business feel, both of those attributes have disappeared. Very disappointing.

I called them to come out and see about putting up some recessed lighting in my house as well as figure out what was wrong with my kitchen circuits. They were supposed to come out, but other emergencies emerged. When they finally did, they took a look at everything and then said they'd email me an estimate for the work I needed done. After two weeks of me calling over 3 times to inquire about the estimate, I finally called someone else. The other company came out and did the work the same day. After I had the work completed, First Electric finally emailed me their estimate. I politely let them know that I had already gone somewhere else for the work and then they email me a bill for the service call over two weeks ago. I will not be using first electric ever again for my electrical needs while in Prattville.

These guys are GREAT! We were left in quite a pickle after a disreputable person masquerading as an electrician made a mess of our breaker panel, and I was worried we wouldn’t be able to get it rectified without a GoFundMe campaign. FIRST ELECTRIC came out and fixed the other guy’s mess for an unbelievably fair price! Great work, very professional, and extremely reasonable rates. I will recommend these guys at every opportunity!

First Electric took great care of me. They were the only one that quoted me before having to go to the site which shows they know what they are doing. I had used Mr. Electric on a previous job and got a quote on the same job just to compare and First Electric was a third of the cost. I will use First Electric for all my electrical needs in the future.
