Bulldog Electric

Paul L.

I sure wish I had called Bulldog Electric sooner. I had a number of electrical issues after moving into a new residence. I selected a different company after seeing their ad in a mailed promotion brochure. They came in and did a few things but extremely overcharged me for 2 items and estimated 2 more items at over $3000.
I reached out to other companies on yelp and selected Bulldog based on his response to my need and his accurate estimate of what it would cost.
When Tim Ashcroft arrived the next day I felt very relieved. After seeing the job and what was needed he confirmed his estimate and proceeded to do the job efficiently and neatly. He even revised his estimate lower on a second job after seeing what was needed. He provided a solution to a problem that saved me well over $2000.
Accurate, diligent, very fair, honest and a nice guy, I would recommend him to all my friends.

This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have used Bulldog Electric and absolutely would highly recommend him. Each time I have been more than happy with his work and his fair pricing. Up front and from the beginning I found Tim to be very responsive and extremely thorough to the end of each project. I found him to be a real straight shooter.
Yeah...5 stars for sure!
Thanks, Tim!

Nice guy, made quick work of replacing a 240V outlet for my EV. Very personable and willing to share electrical advice. Thanks!

I had to revise my review because I am beside myself. He came out 2 days ago and installed a fan for my sons room. Everything was great until yesterday when we lost power to not only the fan but 2 other rooms and a bathroom. He did come back out fairly quickly which was nice but, two and a half hours later he had live wires hanging out in the bathroom and 2 bedrooms. My husband helped him the entire time, staying on his phone down at the breaker box, flipping switches... he wanted to ""burn"" one of our extension cords and use it as a temporary fix. Then, he charged us another $250! Leaving wires out, furniture misplaced and a huge mess. I'm out $600 to this guy and I had to hire someone else to correct everything. Total for a ceiling fan installation will probably run me more than $1200.

UPDATE:
As a result of my first experience with Tim and Bulldog, I have now used him two more times. First, underneath the pergola in my backyard, I needed an electrical outlet. He immediately identified how to do it, installed one and it looks like it came with the house. While there, I asked if he could also install a floodlight so my wife and I could see all of our grass and trees at night. I wanted something bright, but not obnoxious. He actually did a lot of homework before I even gave him the green light and ended up with the perfect solution. Once again, it matches the house perfectly. And he is such a perfectionist that he kept tapping the new light's switch cover to make sure it was perfectly straight. Most people don't take their jobs this seriously. And to top that, I asked about installing a sconce and while some people would say it was a good idea just to make a buck, he was very honest and discouraged me from doing it because of the potential costs.

Thank you Tim. You have a customer for life!

ORIGINAL:
I know people often say that you shouldn't go with the cheapest quote, but I rolled the dice and came up with a winner.

So, I just got an electric car and wanted a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed on the outside of my house. In addition, I wanted it to be a simple deal where I could call someone, they bring everything needed to complete the task and I could just write a check. Well, Bulldog promised an easy process and delivered. Others I contacted asked for me to buy accessories and a few even warned me of potential damage to the outside of the home or that a mess was possible. Bulldog again assured me that I shouldn't be concerned. At one point, when Bulldog had to leave the house to get a few more materials, they even texted me to give me notice. Well, when the job was done, it looked like the outlet had come with the house. The job was incredibly professional.

I can't thank Bulldog enough and look forward to using them for future electrical ne

Quick response! Excellent service! Easy to work with! He came out to us right away to help fix our lighting. He was courteous and his work was perfect! Highly recommend!

Hired Tim to install outlet behind tv. He was punctual and very neat. I would recommend him for any electrical work. He was able to install plug without damaging drywall.

Has the experience and knowledge. However, he does not demonstrate the humility to understand new technologies and uses his experience as the absolute instead of learning and adapting. If you need traditional electrical work then he does the job. However, when you have IoT that requires some newer adaptions of electrical work, then looked elsewhere.

Would call again for another job. He came the same day, was nice and knowledgeable and responsibly priced.

Tim arrived early and quickly solved the main problem he came to my house to fix, which is the only reason why I'm not leaving a 1-star review.

Seeing that he seemed to know his way around electrical wiring, I asked if he knew anything about how to hook up z-wave smart switches to 3-way wiring, he confidently answered yes.

I had been having trouble getting both switches to communicate, and figured a professional should be able to solve it in about 15 minutes.

Tim, though, spent the next 2.5 hours unsuccessfully trying to hook up the 3-way switches, and after giving up and leaving them in a less useful state than they were when he started, he informed me that I owed him for 3 hours of his time.

I asked him, ""You want me to pay you full price for something you couldn't do?"" To which, he informed me that I was paying for his time, not results.

In my opinion, he should have just been honest in the first place and said, ""No, I don't know how to do that."" Instead, he wasted 2.5 hours of MY time and then had the nerve to demand that I pay extra hundreds of dollars to compensate HIM for that time.

I paid him what he asked, but the more I process how everything went down, the more insulting and unethical it all seems.

I know if I can't successfully do a job, I have the humility to apologize for thinking I could do the job, and I understand that demanding full payment for a job not done is terribly arrogant, and won't do me in favors in the long run.

In this case, Bulldog Electric has lost a customer.
