Arc Electrical

We hired Alex to perform electrical work at a residential property. He was nice at the first visit and scheduled our job for an agreed-​upon date. He asked for half of the funds (about $ 750) to complete the job up front, which we gave him. We had several contractors booked, all of whom were counting on the electrical work being completed first. The job date came and went — Alex never showed up. **He took our money and never showed up.** We never saw Alex again. It took many messages, phone calls, and written notices to finally get our money back. He threw our project completely off schedule, causing us a lot of inconvenience and expense. I would not, under any circumstance, recommend this contractor.

Alex wanted to come out to my home at eight am on Sunday to install a plug for my BMW i3. After making arrangements with him, he never showed up. I called multiple times and sent text messages. He did not respond to my calls or texts. Very unprofessional and rude.

I wish I could add another star! Alex came out and went above and beyond expectations. He was quick to arrive and very thorough in his work. He did a great job and we highly recommend Arc. Next time we have electrical issues, I know who I’ll be calling.

Power went out during one of our great dust storms. Luckily we were at a hotel for that night, but it was the weekend. I attempted to call over ten electricians. One stated it would be $ 120 added onto the work which was needed, all others, but George Brazil did not answer. George Brazil would not have been able to come out later in the day and would have cost a pretty penny. I was able to reach Alex, who came to my house approximately one hour after speaking to him. It ended up being a stuck breaker, which he easily fixed. He only charged $ 20 for his service. I will be re using ARC.

Great service. Called them at 1:15 to fix some amateur work I tried myself, said they could be by anytime, job was completed by 4:20. Highly recommend if you need service in the Phoenix area or anywhere in the state.

I was out of town helping family with an emergency. I received an email from a tenant about a circuit tripping in the kitchen. I called Arc electric and told him about the situation. We scheduled an appointment for the next day. The owner Alex, said he will look at it personally. I am very satisfied with his work. He found the issue and it had nothing to do with the circuit. The tenant ended up having light bulbs burning out. So she would have to turn the breaker off to change light bulbs. I had Alex change the track light to an energy efficient one. I was also able to salvage the other track for another property. Thanks to Alex. He was even kind enough to help reprogram a garage remote at no extra charge. I have gone through 3 electricians since living in AZ. I finally feel like I found an honest, reliable, intelligent electrician. No more electricians that can’t do things up to code and charge an arm and a leg. This company is competitive with pricing, shows up on time and does the work right the first time.

Excellent service and very timely response. My AC went out at my investment property due to what I thought was an issue with electrical wiring. I called on a Sunday and they came out within 45 minutes. After reviewing the source of the issue they determined that the electrical was fine and then refered me to an AC serive company.
Highly recommend!

Our 2 year old dishwasher did all at sudden not work anymore.
A service guy from Spencer’s came after one week, Only to tell us it’s not the machine but an electrical problem.
I phoned Arc electric and Alex was here in 20 minutes. He checked the circuit breakers, the machine and the plugs and solved the problem in a short time.
A very friendly young man, whom I can only recommend highly.

We called Arc Electric randomly after doing an on-​line search and reading reviews. We had them come out to look at some needed work on a newly purchased property. Alex came out and took a look at the work to be done. We liked Alex and were ready to review the estimate and go forward with the work. After he pulled away from the property, saying he would get us an estimate that afternoon, we never heard from him again. No estimate, no e-​mail, no response to our calls or text. Weird.
I would have rather heard he wasn’t able to do the work or it didn’t fit his schedule or something so we wouldn’t have wasted 3 days trying to track him down.
We hired another company and completed the work easily and quickly.

Great work, honest guys! We wouldn’t think of calling any other electric co. and also refer Arc to our own clients.

Great Service… Great Knowledge… Great Company!!! Alex is hands down the best electrician I know. Plus, I value my life to much to even attempt to do any electrical work myself so I call this guy to take the risk and do the job right the first time. Win-​Win in book ;+)

If great scientific and electrically curious minds such as Alexander Graham Bell, Ottó Bláthy, Thomas Edison, Galileo Ferraris, Oliver Heaviside, Ányos Jedlik, Lord Kelvin, Sir Charles Parsons, Ernst Werner von Siemens, Joseph Swan, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse could write a Unilocal review on any one electric company, they would undoubtedly sing the praises i am about to sing for Arc Electrical.
I’m in the middle of a remodel, and have purchased numerous electrical supplies from Arc. Not only are their prices fair, they provide insight and learned instruction on various strategies for cost savings, safe and efficient electric know how. It is a shame their experience was unavailable in the late 1800’s, for they might have, dear reader, just might have. becoming a driving force of the Second Industrial Revolution.
Ask for Alex or Jeremy.

The lights mysteriously went out in three of my rooms. I tried everything I could think of to fix it myself (turn the breakers on and off /​change out the light bulbs /​prey to the light gods) but the lights still would not come on and it kind of freaked me out honestly — why would the lights in three rooms stop working and everything else work fine?!
With electricians (and plumbers) it is such a mixed bag. You never know if you’re going to get a rip off artist or someone that just doesn’t know what they are doing at all. You don’t know until it is done and you have a huge mess to fix.
I asked a couple of friends if they knew of anyone that did quality electrical work. A close friend of mine gave me Alex’s name and number and vouched for him. She had gotten work done by him, her brother had gotten work done by him, and her mom had gotten work done by him. They were all fans of his work and happy with the service he provided.
I called Alex yesterday and let him know what my issues were and we set up a 9:00 am appointment for today for him to come out and have a look at the problem. He was here a few minutes early and got right to work. In less than 30 minutes he had figured out that whoever originally wired the electric had used the wrong kind of tape to connect two wires together. The wires weren’t completely connected and were creating a surge of electric back and forth between the wires (that burnt through the tape) and a huge a fire hazard.
It was pretty awesome that he was able to locate the problem so quickly and even more awesome that he knew what to do to fix the problem once he found it. My lights were back on and working perfectly within an hour. Yay! His prices were fair and he seems like an honest guy that knows what he’s doing. I will use him again if I have an electrical problem and I recommend his services.
Oh the joys of finding someone with experience that knows what they are doing!
