Beacon Home Services, Inc.

The service was great. the guys that came to do the install were very professional and knowledgable about their trade. they showed a love for their work. My only complaint is that I bought 2 groupons from this company. 1 to install recessed lighting and 2 to install an attic fan. when i called to make my appointment for install I specifically asked for both services to be performed on the same day so that I wouldn't have to take more than one day out. I was told that each install would take approximately 4 hours and that the installs would have to be scheduled back to back instead of for the same time frame. that meant that installers would be at my house for approximately 8 hours on the day of the install. I was fine with that and scheduled my install date. When the guys showed up at my house they were ready to install the recessed lighting, but had no idea that I was supposed to get an attic fan installed. They took the time to call back to the company to find out what was going on. I was told that the attic fan install wasn't scheduled at all. The crew that showed up stated that they loved to do electrical work and if time permitted would have no problem installing my attic fan too.  They were able to install the fan in record time and was only at my house for about 5 1/2 hours and completed both jobs. Because of this I am giving them an A rating, because I was very pleased with their work and professionalism and willingness to help me.

Beacon arrived on time to install an attic fan.  The employees were courteous and professional.  They took the time to review and explain the installation with me and went over everything afterwords.  The 'courtesy review' of my home's electrical systems did offer some good information/feedback, but also seemed a bit excessive in suggesting thousands of dollars of recommended repairs.

Victor showed up on time, advised me what he was going to do regarding the electrical panel and answered any questions i had.  He did the work efficiently and in a timely manner.  I had him come back to do some additional work a few weeks later.  He rewired my microwave connection and changed out my range outlet.  Very professional.

I did not contact the company immediately after purchase due to leaving on vacation.   Upon return, I was told that the first available date was now in September.   This somewhat defeats the purpose of installing an attic fan as summer is pretty much over, however to their credit they kept looking for openings and were able to fit me in the middle of August.   I was not present the day the install occurred, so I won't comment on that.   However, there were 2 issues that later arose.   One was finding a full tube of roofer's tar in my garage, which led me to wonder whether it had ever been applied during the install.   To alleviate that concern (and clean my gutters) I decided to go on the roof myself and take a look, where I found the 2' by 2' section of my roof that had been cut out to install the fan just laying there near the newly installed fan.  That section of roof, with shingles attached, was laying with the protruding nails downward and would have eventually damaged my roof.   Needless to say, the installer had put roofing tar around the fan, but I'm not impressed with his carelessness.   Had I not gone on the roof, that piece could have sat there for a long time, as it was not visible from below.   Hopefully I won't have any leaks and this fan will work properly.   I have not been into my attic to inspect the work that occurred there.

I had a ceiling fan install by Michael & Son during the summer heat wave.  They told me I needed an attic fan and game me an estimate.  Beacon Electrical's deal on Angie's List was more than $200 cheaper so I decided to give it a try.  This was the first Angie's Deal I've bought.  The company promptly called and made an appointment that was convenient for me.  They informed me over the phone that if the attic didn't have an electrical line for a light, it would cost about $100 to install the line and light.  I thought it was still a good deal and went ahead.  As it turned out, my attic had a light already.  No problems with the vent fan or installation.

The work went well.  During the project, Victor discovered that my electrical panel needed to be replaced (it is soddered and only 150 amps), the house is not properly grounded, and that my washer and microwave are not on independent lines.  He walked me through the process, showed me some of the problems, what it meant, and how they should be fixed.  I also asked him to take a look at my attic fan, which has not worked since I moved in a few months ago.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and showed me what needs to be done (the old fan seized, and because no one installed a kill switch with the old fan, they simply cut the power lines to the fan).  I knew there were some problems with the electrical system, but what I didn't know, Victor was able to explain in layman's terms.  He is great and I highly recommend Beacon.  I am going to use them to make the necessary repairs to my electrical panel and will also use them to install a new attic fan next spring.

Great job by Beacon Electrical.I have an old house with a quirky attic so their job installing the recessed lights in my bedroom was very challenging and took longer than usual. They were friendly, curteous and did a great job. Would definitely use again.

The home has had a lot of non-professional work done to the electrical system over the past 60 years (we just moved in 2 months ago).  Despite running into many "surprises" that were left behind from the previous owners, Jessie and the rest of the Beacon staff remained on budget and provided high quality service.  Jessie stayed and worked a 14 hour day just because he didn't want to leave the job until we had power.  We are very satisfied with the work performed.

Victor (who did the install) was a really nice guy who clearly takes pride in his work.

Victor is very professional and great electrician. This is the second job that I have had Beacon complete for me and I have been highly pleased both times. When Victor installed the 4 recessed lights in my kitchen, he connected them to an existing light fixture. When he removed the fixture we discovered it had been installed wrong and even dangerously. He promptly came up with a solution, got the parts out of the van, and it was fixed within minutes. A previous owner had installed a pot rack light fixture without an electrical housing box which can cause fires if it was to short. I have better peace of mind knowing Beacon has done the job.
