Fighting Amish Electric

They seemed too busy to care about doing the work at our house. Took forever to return phone calls and emails and generally seemed uninterested in providing the services we were looking for. If you're interested in getting things done and don't have a ton of time to play phone tag and hunt them down, I'd look elsewhere.

We've used the Fighting Amish for several jobs now, both big and small, and all of it was done with the greatest precision and professionalism. Daan and Inder are passionate about what they do and it shows. My husband has a bit of OCD and these guys have been able to meet his picky standards in making sure everything gets done REALLY right. They get pretty busy, so be prepared to wait to get on their calendar, but it's SO worth it. You don't want to mess with bad electrical work.

I wanted to replace an old fluorescent light fixture with an LED light fixture that I had bought at Home Depot. Daan did the job in an hour. He took the time to explain how to set the dimmer switch.

Daan and the Fighting Amish team did great work on my 1906 house. They are very knowledgable, intelligent, respectful hard workers. I felt great confidence in their ability. They allowed us to do part of the demo work, which may have been a mistake, as much damage was done to the plaster in the house. Luckily I found an excellent plasterer so all's well that ends well. Do not take it personally if they are too busy. I guess all these good yelp reviews mean more business than they can handle. I called them for a small job recently and got no reply. At the time, I felt understanding about it but after another electrician did the work I felt really disappointed because the quality and the attitude were not like the amazing amiable Amish. I wish I had fought harder to obtain their services!

These guys or should I say Don is AWESOME with a capital A!!!! He replaced 2 transformer boxes and multiple lights in my recessed lighting. The drywall had to be cut to replace the transformers. Don cut and shop vac'd simultaneously to keep the mess to a minimum. He cheerfully explained in detail the work that had to be done and spent time educating me about the difference between halogen and led lighting. He advised me on the best way to extend the life of the remaining transformer boxes and shopped with me on Amazon to select the correct replacement bulbs. All that and for a very reasonable price. I HIGHLY recommend them and they are well worth the wait. Plan on about a three week lead time.

I needed wiring updated in my house and was under time constraints. I got estimates from three electricians: first estimate was for my total annual income, second was verbal and they would not give me anything in writing until I agreed to schedule the work, then I called Fighting Amish. Daan gave me an estimate that was half of the amount on the first one. And while the cost of the job is a factor in choosing a contractor, more important is whether you, the home owner, are comfortable with them. Daan worked my job into their busy schedule. They showed up when they said they would. They worked well as a team. And here is a small example that shows what kind of people they are. Before they showed up, I was moving stuff that was stored under the house for better access. I noticed a glass platter that was not wrapped or in a box. I wondered why I was even keeping it. While the guys were working down there, they told me they were sorry but it got broken. I told them that it doesn't matter. It was just a little example, but speaks to their professionalism and honesty.

Kudos to Dann and The Fighting Amish!!! Excellent, efficient, timely, and focused, what a way to deliver professional help! Can't say enough about this locally family owned business. Thanks again for your help!

WARNING
More than disappointing.

Truth:One of the owners came to my home on Wednesday March 4th.

Truth: I asked him to check some of my outlets and he had no measurement tool to do so. He said he could just tell if they were ok????

Truth: He said they were very busy and for me to remind him to return. He also said they would send out a proposal which I never received.

Truth: He seemed very tired and was in a rush to leave. Sometimes folks stop liking what they do.

Truth: Good and reliable businesses do not take on more business than they can service well.
Electrical issues are extremely important. The Fact Is, they were flaky in their dealings with me.

We just used Fighting Amish for the 3rd time, and could not be happier with the results. Daan is incredibly hard-working, competent, articulate, fast, efficient, and personable. He was here last night and fixed a handful of small electrical problems. It took awhile to get on his schedule, but we feel it is worth the wait. We'll definitely use them in the future. Thanks Daan!

I recently had my ancient fuse boxes changed over to circuit breakers. Fighting Amish did a great job. They are very efficient guys and really know how to interact with the Berkeley inspectors and PG&E so that everything goes smoothly. I really felt that I could rely on their expertise.
