Pat Murphy Electric, Inc.

Pat Murphy Electric stood behind their work 100% and then some. After a first visit, my problems weren't resolved. They were more upset than I was and sent a troubleshooter to find out why their work didn't correct my issues. After several hours of testing, tracing wires, checking circuits, etc., he reached his conclusion and made the necessary repairs. I couldn't be happier dealing with a company that cares this much about making things right.

Honest, hard working and reliable. I have used them many times and while they are not cheap, they know what they are doing with electricity, you want integrity.

Dishonest Electrician! We had our power go out at our rental property and needed an electrician to give an honest assessment of what was needed. As we were not at the property at the time of the outage, we had very little information as to what happened, just an account from our tenants. We called around and finally contracted Pat Murphy and Daniel Devoid was the electrician that came out. He then proceeded to tell me that the work would take over $5000 to complete and couldn't really produce much information as to what was wrong, only some babbling about the insulation around the wire being cracked. I paid the $54 service fee to be lied to! We called another electrician and he said no damage had even been done to the property. For whatever reason, the GA Power folks thought we had a faulty ground wire - turns out the Comcast installer used a green wire to rig up the Comcast install, and GA Power thought it was something else. An honest electrician would have pointed that out. A dishonest electrician, who gets paid on commission, will try and rake you over the coals. I am very disappointed that we made the mistake in calling Pat Murphy out to our property. Fortunately we only are out the service fee, don't make our mistake!

Charged ~$150 for an initial quote. Afterwards, difficult to communicate with, not very responsive. The quote they did provide was not easy to decipher, and the electrician they sent found it difficult to describe the solution he had in mind. Markup on materials was borderline unreasonable (labor was $140/hr., which seems somewhat standard). We ended up eating the 150 charge and finding another electrician who is easy to work with, responsive, and intelligible. (Not too much to ask, and not very hard to find for $140/hr.)

I will never do business with this company again, They are a rip off. I paid 454.00 for electric work and it was not done. I'm a disable female veteran living on a fix income. So please do not hire this company.

While they did what I asked- installing a light fixture, the two men took 2 hours to complete the work, blaming the time on an estimate for additional lights in another room. I ended up paying over $300 ($150+ x 2 hours). I just now attempted to lower the chandelier with the extra length of chain that is attached for that purpose and the wire is too short- I cannot find extra in the canopy. It will take another call to another electrician to fix the problem.

Overall, I think they purposely stalled to increase the work time. I will never use them again nor will I recommend.

Great price and very professional. I was called ahead and arrived on time. The place was left clean and the installation looked great. I appreciated the education I was given about the scope of work. Will definitely use them again for any future needs.

I paid $49.95 for a quote to rough a two storey garage with small office. Cost of parts amount to $1500 worse case. I had a quote for parts and labour for $9500 with the suggestion it could take ""as long as 2 days"". That works out at $500/hour. I got a licensed electrician to do it for $1000 labour. They must think I just got off the banana boat....

Steer away!

UPDATE: PME wrote to me 3 days after this review saying the electrician who called me handled things badly but did not say if the prices were wrong; only that he shd not have quoted $2k site unseen. Said they wld not chg how they handle weekend calls. Not sure I believe it.

Background: Called Pat Murphy Electric on a SATURDAY after a tree limb took down my main power line. I remember they were endorsed by the Home Fix-It Show. I wrote to the show telling them my experience and Dave sent me back a boilerplate email that was supposed to look like he wrote it to me personally and advised I would be lucky to do business with PME and that sometimes you have to spend money for good service. HA! Wish I could write a review of The Home Fix It Show. The electrician on call said it would be $459 for him to come out. That the job sounded like it would run about $2,000. I was panicked since I don't have that kind of money. He said if he came out and looked at it for the $459 they apply that to the price of the job. If I didn't like, I'd have to pay him $459 siting how it was Saturday and he was taking time out of his day, gas prices etc. THEN told me if I called on Monday it would be $54.95. Reliable Heating & Air came out within 2 hours. $89 house-call fee FOR A SATURDAY call. They fixed it for a grand total of $378. I didn't even know they did electrical (and plumbing) outside of heating and air but they do and THANK GOD

It said that they have emergency service and I called this morning (Thursday) to be advised, that the next appointment available is Monday....
That is NOT emergency service:(
