We have used American Electric a few times now. They answer the call every time. They show up when they say they will and do quality work at a fair price.

When all the other guys said it would be at least 2 weeks before they could send someone out. American told me that they would figure out a way to get someone to me today, 45 minutes later they had an electrician on site taking care of the problem.
