Minus O is the right rating for them. Live Wire was assigned to me as a part of Duke Energy's Home Wiring program, which is a real joke. First of all, they both are a bunch of liars! Live Wire came in my home and stated if I upgrade my wiring, it would save me hundreds of dollars a month. After spending thousands, that never happened!

After receiving a $602 electrical bill, I contacted Duke Energy. Don Shane, Wiring Supervisor came to my home with Live Wire's Owner to look at the faulty work that was done. They were shady as hell and the clowns said,"" Oh, everything is fine!"" This was quite contrary, because nothing was fine!

After paying for 2 electrical engineers and 2 electricians to evaluate my electrical system, we found that everything was wrong! My air handler, dryer, air compressor, and water heater were all on undersized wires. Just to show you how egregious they were, they had a 20 breaker on my A/C , when it should have been a 40. My AHU wiring was melted when the engineers inspected it. Live wire had spices in my electrical panel, where the panel had to be upgraded and had copper touching cooper. Thank God, my home didn't catch on fire! One engineer stated that my panel would burn up, before it ever tripped. At this point, I would only recommend them if you want your family to be in jeopardy of a house fire.

My real question is why is Duke Energy employees covering up shady electrical work? Is this how they make us pay more for electricity?

Until this, I would have given them a 5 star rating also, but you don't know until something happens, how good a company has performed. If you had work done by Live Wire, please have it rechecked by a non- Duke Energy affiliated company! There are no checks and balances to either of them.

Live Wire Electrical - Would give them a 0 if I could. Hired them to install 2 new ceiling fans on the porch. There estimate was 1 electrican at $125 hr plus materials. I agreed. When the electrican arrived to survey the job he said it would cost more than expected. I asked how much and he replied $500. Which I agreed to. He left for an hour to go get materials at Lowes. When he returned he started cutting holes in the ceiling for the fans. The second hole he cut was to large and the base of the fan would not completely cover the hole. He was constantly on his phone and shortly another truck and electrican showed up and began working with him. No one ever consulted me about a second electrican. When they finished he said he was going to report the ceiling damage to his supervisor and then presented me with a bill of over $900.00. I was shocked. The next day I waited for their call about the ceiling but none came so I called Live Wire. They knew nothing about any damage so I sent pictures. An estimator came out and we went over the damage the charges. The labor was over $700.00. I told him I wanted to be reimbursed for the hour when he left to go to Lowes and for the second electrican that I did not authorize. He left and said he would get back to me and they would repair the ceiling. They called me and set up a date to come out and repair the ceiling. I was at home but they never showed up. They called the next day and said they would be out. The Live Wire estimator sat down with me and told me that they could not refund any of my money and in his words the electrican was very unprofessional and do right lazy. I contacted Pinellas County Consumer Protection and they sent me paperwork to fill out on this company. It has been over a month now and nothing has been done to right this wrong. If you hired this worthless company make sure you get everything in writing so they can't change the rules and pricing in the middle of the job. I wish I could post pictures of their crappy work but It doesn't appear this website will let me do it. Thanks for reading and good luck on your electrical projects.

Always a positive experience. Never felt overcharged or disappointed with the quality of work. Nice guys & respectful to property as well. Very much recommend.

We just purchased our first historic home in St. Pete. We knew that to restore and modernize an 80-year-old home, we'd need some really solid partners on board. That means we've interviewed a LOT of contractors, and I have to say that Live Wire has been a seriously impressive experience.

From the moment we talked with Bill about our electrical needs, it was obvious that we were working with an experienced and professional team. Bill came out to give me an estimate and immediately understood the special circumstances of my house. He provided a prompt quote and answered all of my questions thoroughly.

While Live Wire wasn't the cheapest quote we received, now that the work is complete I can say they were hands down the best value for what we needed. Essentially, they helped us through a whole-home rewire to replace old wiring, ensure safety, and add modern fixtures.

The professionals that worked on our home, Justin and Rodney, are excellent at their jobs. They were abundantly cautious about minimizing damage and were super respectful of our home. They never complained about a single thing - not even our horrible tiny crawl space or the layers of difficult plaster and lathe to open to complete the work.

Besides the skill level, what really stood out to me is that Justin and Rodney are sincerely kind, courteous and professional people. Anytime I had a question, they took the time to explain how something worked. Several times throughout the day, Justin would show me what he planned to do to rewire an area and verify that I would be happy with the result. At the beginning and end of each day, he'd share the plan for what to expect next. The communication throughout the entire experience was super friendly, proactive and polite.

I can honestly say I'm sad to see Justin and Rodney move on to their next job and I hope we have more for them to do in the future for our renovation! We would absolutely recommend Live Wire to any of our friends, family or neighbors for their electrical needs!

Could not get a hold of this company after they were referred to me, not even after two weeks of trying and many messages.

I had a houseful of electricians today to change out lighting inside and out of a new home we purchased. The team was extremely professional, efficient and left everything clean. Extremely happy with the service and job done. I would definitely use them again and am happy to refer to them to my friends.

Did work exactly as specified, quickly, at the agreed upon price, and were able to make recommendations on how our ideas might be improved.
