I had a simple fault- one outlet was dead. I explained on the phone that I already had checked other outlets, GFAs and breakers and nothing seemed wrong. The electrician on the phone explained that they work to a standard of ethics that considers the customer. He went on to say that in this situation, it is typically a wall switch that may not be regularly used that could be the cause. So, naturally, it was and I saved myself a call out fee and labor charges. They had the choice to come and check my house in case of wiring faults etc, but chose to troubleshoot for free. 5 Stars for being solid people!

I greatly appreciate the help provided by Shauwn. If it was with any other electrician, I would have paid hundreds of dollars. But Shauwn asked me about the problem and over the phone he instructed me how to fix an issue I faced. I recommend him for his skills in identifying issues and fixing them. Also I liked the fact that Absolute electric charge their customers only by the time spent to fix the issue and so customers can save a lot comparing to other fixed price quotes. - Mani.

My wife & I had Shaun Collins install recessed lighting throughout our home's finished basement about 6-7 years ago. Shaun personally did all the work- he was professional, polite, on time, and did great work. He listened to what we wanted, made good technical and aesthetic recommendations, and made sure we were happy with the finished product. The only thing we've had to do in all the years afterwards was change an occassional old bulb. More recently, we used Absolute Electric to install ceiling fans in our upstairs bedrooms. Shaun sent out 2 great workers who also did great work- his electricians were good workers, punctual, cleaned up, respectful. We completely trust Shaun for all of our electric-work needs.

Got my attic fan replaced this morning. Johnny and his assistant were on time. They were professional, friendly and very courteous. They cleaned up their mess and removed their shoes when they entered my home. Will recommend these guys to anyone.

I needed an electrician to come to my home to install a new outlet for an electric range, and to repair an outlet that had pretty much exploded, and affected a series of outlets in my dining room/kitchen areas. The Absolute team arrived to my home, surveyed the work that needed to be done, and did an excellent job with the repairs. And their price was really, really reasonable. They were professional, knowledgeable, and fast. I would recommend them in an instant.

Absolute Electric is a great company to call if you have an electrical issue requiring prompt and professional attention. Based on the online reviews I read about Absolute Electric, I contracted with them to troubleshoot an electrical problem in our home that my husband and I could not solve. Shauwn was at our house within 48 hours, and worked at the speed of light with his assistants to troubleshoot and diagnose the trouble in well under an hour. I was expecting two or possibly three hours of work (and associated charges!), but Shauwn managed to get us up and running again with all our circuits restored within the hour. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to use him again for electrical work around the house. The online reviews praising Shauwn and Absolute Electric for fair pricing, honesty and technical expertise were absolutely right on, and I'm glad I gave the company my business!

These guys are fantastic. We couldn't get our outdoor plugs to work. When we called them on the phone, they told us how to troubleshoot the problem ourselves. Turns out it was a minor problem that was solved in a minute. A less reputable electrician would have came over, poked around while knowing what the problem was beforehand and charged 150 bucks. Thanks Absolute Electric for being so HONEST and HELPFUL; a rare quality in contractors these days!

Just experienced a minor eletrical problem during a FIOS installation. I found Absolute on the web and gave them a call. Shawn was here within a half hour, explained what happened, and fixed the problem. The repair could not have gone better. I highly recommend them and will use Absolute for all my electrical work in the future.

I put in a request for an electrician to install a fan and to move an outlet. Shauwn called to inquire about the job and to provide a quote. I agreed to have him provide the service. What a pleasant experience. He is very knowledgeable and wants to make the customer happy. He did great work and I am going to have him to another job for us soon.

I called for an appointment and the owner was on site the next day. He was professional, efficient and really cared about customer satisfaction. I would recommend him to anyone and will keep his company in my contact list! The pricing was fair and competitive.

Excellent!

I own an older home and with that comes renovation, including electrical work...and a lot of it. So I did my research on electrical contractors in the area and came across Absolute Electric. When I spoke with the owner, I was very impressed with his knowledge of the electrical work in older homes and what needed to be done to bring it up to date. He met with me at the house, we walked through the house, discussed what needed to be done, and he gave me an estimate. I got 2 other estimates around the same price, so I decided to go with Absolute Electric. That was a great decision! All of the work to date has been more than satisfactory! I'm looking forward to working with them throughout my renovation process...

The best decision I ever made!

You never know what to expect when a contractor walks into your home. I always worry I will be price gaudged! Absolute Electric not only gave me a fair price but their service was outstanding and done in a timely manner. I was extremely happy with my service and impressed with their impeccable professionalism. I highly recommend this contractor.
