Blue Line Electric

We called this company to troubleshoot and change 3 electrical outlets to GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), and also check an outside light that was not coming on.

Dave called, was courteous, and we made an appointment to come to the property. He arrived on time as agreed.

However, after he looked at the job, he gave us an estimate of $500. Don't know what the other reviewers that gave positive feedback paid for their work, but $500 for this particular job is way too much.

Turned out the outlets did not have power because the fuse had tripped. We reset the fuse and they worked. And the outside light that would not come on, was just a loose wire.

The 3 GFCI's were $25. So he basically wanted $475 an hour for labor! That's how long it took to do the job.

Needless to say we found another licensed electrician that did the job at a reasonable hourly rate.

Very rarely write reviews but Dave deserves it. He really did an AMAZING JOB on our house. I had a big list: 1) install wall outlets for 2 flat screen TVs 2) install 2 ceiling fans and 3) install 2 chandeliers. I was very nervous about the chandeliers since we would be cutting into our ceiling. They were also Turkish chandeliers which, when Dave saw them, said we were really taking a chance. They were not up to US code and might have caused a fire! Anyways, Dave came by on the weekend, did a thorough analysis of our needs and whether or not we could do everything I wanted and gave us a very fair quote. He came by about a week later and did everything with no issues. He's a Pro! He's also bonded and insured which was important for us. If you're looking for an electrician, he should be your guy.

This company is FANTASTIC. I've been looking for an electrician to do some small upgrades in our place for a while. for whatever reason, the search for contractors & electricians scare the buh-jezuz out of me! Thanks to Yelp, I found Dave of Blue Line electric. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable Dave. He upgraded some switches and light fixtures and put in a porch dimmer at a very reasonable cost, and even allowed me to pick his brain on kitchen lighting upgrades. A recent debacle with a convection microwave which led to a ""no installation"" due to circuit issues led me right back to Dave. I called him for a quote to fix our hood and he graciously swung by to assess and, once again, after giving some $ saving suggestions, gave a very reasonable quote for what sounds like a bitch of a job to get the microwave oven installed! What I most like about him is that you can really tell he cares, knows his work, takes the extra time in explaining it to me (without making me feel stupid-- very important!) and provides enough information for you to make an informed decision. on both jobs at my house, he made alternative suggestions on how to avoid a higher cost job, but seeing as we had our minds set on what we wanted, he still gave very reasonable quotes and did GREAT work. Came in right on target with his quote, to the penny. Showed up on time, and left he place exactly as he found it. all cleaned up.

I would not hesitate to call Blue Line electric. Dave is the best!

I called Dave to see if he could give me a quote for grounded (3-prong) outlets in my apartment. I rent, but was willing to pay for it. He arrived on time and looked around the place. Unfortunately, he said there were few options for me, as the apartment building is old and without major renovation work throughout the building (which the landlord will never do), he would not be able to do it. Even though he knew there was no job for him, he gave me a lot of information about the process, and explained how the grounding worked, and took time to talk about why its important to ground major equipment like computers. I'm sorry I wasn't able to use his services this time, but I'd recommend him to anyone else.

I really go off vibes and first impressions. I called left a message and didnt get a call back til a couple days later. When he called he was very abrupt saying ""well do you still need me"" when i really wanted to say HELL NAW not sounding like this calling days later, no ""im sorry for just getting back to you"" or anything (very unprofessional) So he ask me what i wanted done and then tries to give me over the phone quotes w/o even coming out. Telling me grounding is very expensive no one gets the whole house grounded and i charge $125 per outlet and that for trouble shooting he charges $125 a hour. Basically he didnt want to come out and even look so i heard it in his voice his response. Maybe its a cultural thing i dont know but i dont want to give my $$ to someone that dont even want to be bother. So i will continue looking for a electrician..FYI Dave GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE GOES A LONG WAY!

For many years, I've used Yelp to read reviews on businesses but never have I thought about writing one myself. However, that day has changed when Dave and I signed a contract for an electrical panel upgrade project at our home.

Let me first say that Dave is very friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. Though his price was a little in the high side compared to other bidders, I now know why his price was what it was. He used good quality materials, upgrade panel to 200A instead of 125A, run wires in the crawl space, and his workmanship was excellent (even the inspector said so himself). The reason why running the wires in the crawl space important to me was because I did not wanted the wires to be exposed in the front of the house. Dave was the only person who said he would do that! One contractor said he would run the wires around the ceiling of the house, the other said ""if you want to save some $$, you can run the wires under the crawl space yourself"". What the....for real? I'm giving you work buddy, not the other way around.

Upon knowing that Dave will do the work to the best of his knowledge and make sure that everything looks good, not to mention he guaranteed it to pass inspection, I now feel that it was worth every penny of the contract.

Thank you Dave for your service and the excellent work that you've provided. You'll be highly recommended.

Dave was very honest! He did not try to attempt to gouge your for money, as other electricians i had come out for a repair were doing. He explained why the power went out and replaced the wire and switch, and explained everything before he did it, and while he was repairing it as well. He went above and beyond what we called him for and we would definitely recommend him to our friends and call him again!

Apparently these guys are too good to do any work in their area. I called to try and obtain a quote for some work at my house. Unfortunately, the man on the phone was rude and apparently doesn't need any work during a down economy.

Remember those guys your parents would hire, that had integrity, honesty and did things the RIGHT way? Dave is one of those types of people. He came quickly, assessed the situation by doing a thorough evaluation of our home's circumstances. This then allowed him to install two outets and a new circuit without having to make a large hole in our 1920's plaster walls. He REALLY cared, as if he was working on his own home and gave me some good electrical guidance. He left here at 8:30 p.m. and that was on a Friday evening! He is now a permanent contact for me in the future. Thanks Dave!

Dave is honest, knowledgeable, professional, and takes pride in his work. He took the time to explain to me in lay terms what the problem was. He was efficient and got the job done in a timely manner. It is so hard to find people that you can trust and who takes pride in their work. I used Yelp to find him and I can vouch that the 5 star that he has received in the past is a true testament to Dave.
