Fred is a nice guy, was able to come to my tenants unit and replace an outlet. The part retail is $10 but invoiced me for $30. $200 fee for labor for a 10 min switch job. That’s the ridiculous part, I wouldn’t call again. Only if it’s an emergency…
Great communication, easy scheduling, and a job well done. Frederic helped me get 240 all properly wired for an outdoor sauna. Highly recommend
Over the last few years Frederic's Electric has installed a couple of GFCI outlets at a very fair price. I have also talked to Frederic by phone to trouble shoot potential electrical problems. He is knowledgeable and helpful and communicates well, so that I know what my choices are before he actually comes out to do the work.
I called Fredric's Electric out of the blue because my electrician recommended replacing electrical wiring on my main panel and I wanted a second opinion. The owner called me back, listened to my description of the issue, and gave me good advices and explanations. It turned out we do not need to replace the wiring; instead, solid wire-to-lug connection is the key for reliable power. I felt fortunate speaking to him about this matter.
Fredric was able to consult over the phone, without the costly 100.00 dollar visit, that every other electrician was requiring. He answered the phone directly as well. Fredric has been in the business for many years and has the experience and know how that you are looking for. I highly recommend Fredric, and will call him for all of my electric needs in the future. It is difficult to find quality people that are fair with your money; look no further, Fredric is your man. I would give 10 stars if I could!
