new potlight in theater room were cheap and great quality

We had to replace the old fan light in the room to new theater style dimmable pot lights to better suit the new theater room. they did a magnificent job in the installation and left no marks on the walls or ceiling when they left. Now we have split switches for even greater control of 8 dimmable pot lights. Thank you for the fast and reliable service. Definitely worth hiring if you need lighting done.

Thank you KyleYira950. We strive to eliminate all holes , or at least keep them to an absolute minimum. It's not always possible to complete a lighting installation without holes,.... but happy that it worked out in this instance, and happy they have individual controls. Thanks again for the review.

Socket replacement and diagnosis

Had an issue with a faulty outlet outside the house. The problem was more minor than I thought. The outlet itself was faulty rather than the issue being in the breaker like I thought. Regardless, Tim and his coworker were professional and managed to figure it was the outlet rather than a panel issue. Work was thorough and well done. That said, the bill was high. The service call for Capitan Electric is $169.00 and the outlet replacement was $289.00. Homestar's range for this kind of work is "Outlet & Switch / Socket Installation $195 $325". Take note with Captain, the work is well done but you do not get a service call credit for them to come. While the work is well done, your paying for a premium here. Probably only worth using this company for big jobs or work you need to have done right.

New 15A dedicated circuit for underground sewage pump

I had Tim and his crew out to put in new connection box for the effluent sump pump as my old connection box was shorting out every time it rained, most likely done as a DIY from the previous home owner. Tim and his crew did a good job of putting in everything new, hooking it up to septic tank where the sump pump is, in the ground to the house. Very clean install from start to finish. Will use them again or recommend them to people.

Kitchen and living room electrical work

Tim and team did an exceptional job. They installed our beautiful kitchen lights and solved a long standing electrical issue that other electricians could not solve! We will bring them back anytime we have any electrical issues.

Amazing job at short notice

We had work done by someone else that didnt meet code. After chatting with Captain Electric they sorted everything out in a day. Their inspection and quote were detailed and well explained, and the work was quick and thorough. Wish we had gone with them in the first place! Also, they worked around our schedule and made it so much less painful.
