Best Commercial Upgrades in Jacksonville FL

I called Advanced Electric of North Florida and was very pleased with the services I received. My mom needed services done in her home and after researching several companies, I chose Advanced Electric Of North Florida because they were the most knowledgeable and polite when I called. Great service and will use them again.

The electricians showed up on time. They were prompt and courteous. They quickly diagnosed the problem and the repair fee was nominal and affordable. I will definitely use this company again.

They were available to come out the same day, from initial call to completion was less than two hours. Tech was friendly, which was nice cuz my dogs like people, but me not so much.

Found out the previous homeowners had some illegal wiring done, Doug Allen came out, took a look at the problem and was very open and transparent with the work needed, permits and cost. Doug is a great technician with great customer service! I will give you a call whenever I have any electrical issues pop up.

Well experienced electrician and wonderful professional personality that made me feel comfortable they would do a great job - which they did. Thank you guys.

There are few polite words one can find to describe Thompson Electric, their shoddy work, destruction to personal property with impunity, inability to show up, repeated lies and screaming from the owner. We will be formally reporting this deeply unsafe and fraudulent work to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation and State Attorney General's Office.

Thompson was hired to run one wire from breakers already installed for the purpose. After weeks of tearing up our yard with an unguided ditch witch from a separate side of the house, thousands of dollars in irrigation damage, not showing for random weeks at a time or leaving equipment in our driveway without
any communication, and tying into breakers already being used for a different purpose - this crew cobbled together a bunch of wire using wire caps that aren't even to code indoors let alone safe in water. So...when the exposed jumped wire contacts some water, you don't need to be an electrical engineer to know it ain't gonna work. (P.S. Pictures to prove it). In fact, when Fred (that's the owner who calls and screams at you even when you're pleading for him to calm down) was made aware of this and the non-functioning electric we overpaid for, he said that we were Monday morning quarterbacking and when told their work wouldn't pass code (after needing to be educated that water and electric don't work well together) he said that it *would* if they went out to our property and fixed that. Good one.

Still, Fred says it's our fault because: they didn't bid the project right and, in an ode to the death of logic, they spent a lot of time at our place (though he also claims it was just one day of work)? Bid seemed more than sufficient, workmanship and general decency, not so much. I mean, it's not like I way paying for functioning and safe electric - I should be grateful to fork over thousands for them to tear up my property with no useful result.

Still, before lauding his time at Rotary in 2006, Fred Thompson's website touts their supposedly excellent bidding abilities: We have over 30 years of combined estimating experience. That means the job gets done right the first time, within budget! But, in private when he can scream at you when he thinks there are no witnesses, he acknowledges they don't know how to bid which, as you may have sensed a theme, is the customer's fault.

My husband hired these guys so when Fred or whoever comes on here to claim this isn't a real review 1. It's under Brian and 2. We have pictures. Lots of pictures, security footage, and documentation to present to the Department. Also, just look at how they harass any criticis.

What a shameful way to run a business. To think that these guys are running electric in our schools (according to their website)?! I now know this business is on several major companies' no hire list in town for a reason, FYI.

STAY AWAY!!!

P.S. Fred, got a quote for boring under a driveway - $15 per foot, not $15,000 as you screamed on the phone because your guys instead tried a hose on 20 years worth of tree roots for days (again not one day job).

===

Update - This morning (2/10 - the day after Fred insisted they did nothing incorrectly and after posting this review) one of the electricians showed up at our home around 7:45am without any advance notice. The job hired for will *not* be fully completed but, after months, maybe this can be repaired in less time without further damage. ?‍♂️

====

Update - I stand by each and every claim and I'm happy to continue sharing the truth. A fake invoice made to look as though the job was completed on one day and childish bullying from a grown man hardly inspires good will. Fred didn't even have the courage to ask me to remove my review like he falsely claims. Instead, he literally handed me an envelope, with a smile on his face, containing a letter riddled with lies and the fake invoice mentioned earlier that he *instructed* me to deliver to my husband. How do you think he will treat your family or business looking at his responses?

Excellent service

I called Schumann Electric twice for 2 different orders that we had pending. 1.) was to fix a breaker for one of our apartment buildings that went out. I spoke with Tony Carta and he sent out an electrician a few days after in which they charge JUST FOR THE VISIT ALONE without fixing the problem. The technician explained the problem with the breaker and said he needed to order parts to replace it and I asked for a quote to then pay for the service. I never received any quotes or invoices of any kind so that was left in the air. 2.) One of my tenants had an issue with her heater going out as soon as she turned on the stove. She called the city in hopes that the issue would be resolved faster but it delayed the process of us ordering the new breaker and replacing it so we had to resort to calling Schumann once more and the same situation they sent an electrician to see the issue and he explained that we needed to replace the outside breaker. Mind you i explained to them that we are on a time constraint because my tenant did not have any heat in her unit and once she tried to crank it on she basically could not cook. Tony Carta was the one attending all of the calls. Tony did not have a sense of urgency for my situation and i have yet to receive any invoices or quotes from both of those situations. I kept calling Tony to see what was status on the Breaker and he told me I hope you don't call me everyday just to see if the breaker came in. Which was extremely rude because I'm doing my job and making sure i get the work done since they haven't checked back with the previous issue so it was only right I try to get the situation handled and just so i can keep my tenant updated. All in all this company is absolutely TERRIBLE AND EXTREMELY RUDE TO POTENTIAL CLIENTS. TONY CARTA WAS VERY UNPROFFESIONAL IN THE WHOLE PROCESS. Once i got my situation fixed Tony called me about 5 days later to tell me that he finally got the part in and i told him that he took too long and we resorted to someone else fixing the breaker and replacing it to which he said to me Do not ever call me again and have fun taking care of those outstanding invoices. Tony Carta is very rude and i recommend that you contract another company because they probably wont do the work unless you call them 24/7. ABSOLUTELY GOD AWFUL COMPANY

It a pleasure to write this review for Nick Hatchett of Hatchett Electrical. As an architect I have been around construction for over 35 years. Finding sub-contractors who are skilled in their trade, take pride in their work and dependable is always a delight. Nick recently re-wired our dock and coordinated with our dock builder and boat lift installer for all the electrical and boat lift connections. Nick showed up when he said he would, did quality work at a fair price and followed up to coordinate items needing to be completed. I could not have asked for anything more. I look forward to using Hatchett Electrical on any future electrical work and will certainly recommend him on any future projects we design.

Very professional and courteous crew.

These guys did a great job wiring my office building. Thank you for your level of professionalism, quality of workmanship and great value.

HWV Is always putting you on top priority rain or shine defiantly your go to guy...

I have used this electrician for numerous projects. Although I have hired many other electricians over the years, Ian Felver is clearly a head above the others! They are extremely knowledgeable and professional, always punctual and surprisingly reasonably priced. They always clean up after themselves so the house is cleaner than when they arrived. They take the time to not only do the project they were hired to perform but in many instances see additional minor things that need to be done and take the time to tackle these additional items at little or no cost.

All in all, so long as Local Electric can fit me in their schedule I never plan to use anyone else!

This is the 2nd time I have hired Mr. Brooks for my customers. As a real estate professional; it is important to have professional, reliable, reasonably priced tradesperson(s), that does great work. Whenever I, my family, friends, and customers are in need an Electrician, Mr. Brooks will always be my #1 choice!

I can’t say enough about this company. They always do a great job for me in a variety situations!

Electrician came out to look at a pool breaker that kept tripping. He did NOTHING for the first 30 minutes, while he watched the pool run, waiting for the breaker to trip. After 2 hours (most of which was on the phone with his supervisor), he determined I needed a MAJOR repair, which he could not give me an estimate for, then tried to bill me for 2.5 hours. I had another electrician come out to look at the problem and it was fixed within 20 minutes.

Definitely not a recommended hire for your neighborhood Christmas light display.

Wonderful guys they helped fixed all my lighting problems

Great service

Very pleased with the electrical work they performed on my home. Highly recommended!!!
