Recommended Customer Reviews
Worst Customer service ever . Made an appointment a week in advance ,one hour before showing up they call and say were to busy can't make it today. After changing my appointments instead they said maybe you should find another company were to busy.I've used these guys many times its a shame to treat regular customers this way. Horrible service.
It took a week to get someone out for the job evaluation. Jim told me that he would send an email estimate. That was two weeks ago. I called a week ago asking for the estimate. The annoyed person who answered said he would take a message. Period.
Call them if you've got a century.
Had an issue with a light fixture and broken wall dimmer.
Century had someone out the same day (within 4 hours). Their technician was funny/friendly and diagnosed/fixed the issue in about 25 minutes.
The bill was pricey given the small time-frame, but that's to be expected I guess.
Electrician was proffesional and friendly. I am satisfied with their work and will use again.
Charlie Y.I think the reason why a business like this unfairly gets low rating is because on Yelp, people pretty much still just associate Yelp with restaurant review, and only remember to give good comments to restaurants. So I'll speak out for them.
I have only good thing to say for them. I got super-efficient and professional service from Steve. A wiring job that I thought would take all afternoon took only like an hour! And since electricians charge us by time, that mean it's also at a great price! So, friendly, professional service, and everything works. Sounds like 5-star to me!
We've called Century Electric for service the last fifteen years. They always perform their work reliably and on time. We rely on them for their professionalism and dependability. A five star service.
Jwl s.I am actually surprised to see so many negative reviews on this business. I received friendly professional service from Jim, the owner, who scheduled my breaker installation within three days of my call. The electrician was able to come a day earlier than expected and finished the job in record time. Apparently other people are fond of Century as well since the second time I called they were booked up for more than a week and I had to seek out another electrician.
This place is a rip off! Do not use, work not done right the first time and charge you more ($600) for coming a second over time and still did not fix the problem, but it not there fault.... ! Now I have to get a real electrician to fine the problem that these guy said they fixed..... Please don't even call !!!!
Just recently i read some reviews of Century Electric. My family has used this company for many years. It took me a minute to get used to the front office young lady, because I had been acquainted with the young man who worked there previously. I had a question regarding the price of an invoice and she politely explained the invoice. I will say that the young lady is polite and very respectful. As for Century Electric I really like the Electricians and have come to enjoy the young lady and her expert customer service. I will continue to use Century Electric.
A satisfied customer.
Ellen S.At first, they seemed to be all right. The man who came out identified a bad GFI and said they would have to order one, which should arrive in a day or two, at which time they'd call me. I never got a call back and had to keep calling the main office, which said they hadn't heard anything yet from the man working on my job, who hadn't been reporting in, but they'd call me when they heard something. Later, they told me he'd been sick, which I'm not sure if I believe. After more calls and complaints, I got them to come out and replace the GFI about a week after the initial call.
