“I thought they did a really good job. I’d already had an electrician in my home about two months prior, and Flash found some stuff that the other guy didn’t and brought it to my attention. I appreciated that.”
“They did a house that I was getting ready for the market, and they did a nice job. I was very pleased with them. The house was an older home, and they came in and upgraded the wiring. They made it compatible with modern appliances. Their work stood up, and everything went off without a hitch.”
“It was good work. It was good customer service. It was good all around.”
“Flash put in lights, ceiling fans, and a surge protector. On a scale of one to five, they would be a five and a half or a six. They were that good. Excellent from the start.”
“Flash did a fantastic job. The electrician who came out was on time. He did the work we asked him to do, and he looked at a couple of other things as well. Everything was perfect. We’re going to be renovating our bathroom soon, and we’re going to need an electrician. We’re definitely going to call them.”
“We had a lightning strike, which knocked out a lot of our electrical appliances in the house, even the garage door opener. Flash Electric did the work, and they were excellent. The electrician took care of it all, and he was prompt and cordial. They did a great job, and I can’t say enough about them.”
“I’ve used them a handful of times, and we’ve always found their
electricians to be knowledgeable and very polite. The last time they
came, they hung a light fixture for us, and then they checked the
grounding on an outlet. They did a great job.”
“It was quality. I couldn’t have asked for more than what we received.
They did all the wiring for home entertainment systems, including whole
house music. They put in touch panels and access panels for all the
music, hooked in an iPod connection system, home theater, satellite
television system, televisions in every room, the intercom system,
security cameras, the whole nine. It was very cool. They really worked
with our builder to make it all very seamless.”
“They put an outlet in for us. It went wonderfully. They’re just really
awesome people. They really listen to your needs. They’re very
courteous. I would recommend them to anyone.”
“He was very nice. He explained everything that I wanted to know about
it. And he just went through and showed me everything, so I really
appreciate that. I was pleased.”
"The work was first-rate. Everything made it good: the response time, the knowledgeable electrician, and they’re quick."
"They put circuits in our basement...and they did some wiring to change
our gas stove over to electric. They’re professional and did a good
job."
"They were prompt and very professional. They were knowledgeable and really helped us figure out what we needed. I would absolutely use them again."
"In fact, I pulled Flash Electric out of Home Reports. They finished off the wiring in the basement, and they also wired up two exhaust fans in the bathrooms upstairs—the master bath and the other bath. It went well, and I'd definitely recommend them."
"I had called them in to do a little bit of work. I rent a house, and I don't have the most attentive landlord. I am not terribly handy, and I am terrified of anything to do with electricity. So I had them come in and do just a number of things, install some porch lights and a ceiling fan. There was some wiring in the garage I think he looked at. He did a great job and kept me informed the whole time on what he was doing. And, at the end, he went through the bill with me line-by-line. I was very satisfied with their service. I have their card, and I would recommend them to anybody."
"The technician was knowledgeable, much better than I expected. I had a sunroom where all the plugs were out. I really wasn't sure what happened. I thought I was going to have to have the whole thing rewired and was, of course, mortified when he came in and pushed the reset button. My husband's reminding me of all the wonderful things they did here. While he was here I had him put a plug out in the yard because I knew that we were going to be building a deck and getting a living area built out there. Actually, where I wanted it, he ended up coming up with a better idea that was actually less expensive. I was really happy with him."
"I was really happy. Flash Electric was great, and I found them in Home Reports. They grounded my house, because the phone company came out five years ago and they had neglected to put a grounding thing on every outlet outside of the house. Flash Electric came out and fixed all kinds of stuff. They grounded my house, and something else that had to do with the grounding part and upgraded whatever it was. They were just so nice. And the man that was in charge of all of this actually walked me around and explained where all the wires were that they had replaced. They were just top notch. I'd give them an A."
"I thought they did fine. They replaced the access panel in the garage. I was very happy with the workers that came out. They were clean, knowledgeable, professional, and hard working. They finished up the job in a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend Flash Electric to others."
"They did a great job, and they were very efficient. They had some great suggestions. I had a problem with a outside floodlight on the back of our house. We have a two-story house and wanted to be able to turn the floodlight on downstairs. The only way to do that was to come upstairs to use the switch in the bedroom, so they did a little research and came up with a remote system where we have a little remote. Now we can turn on the floodlights from down there without having to do any other additional wiring or anything like that. It was a great suggestion, and I thought they were very great. And we can also add other devices in the house to work on the remote, so it's really cool. We don't have to cut open the wall or anything of that, so it works out really well. This idea was a lot more efficient and cost effective, so that was great."
