| - I needed an electrician to run lines to the ceilings in two bedrooms (and put up ceiling light fixtures), and to hang a ceiling fan in the master bedroom (the electric lines were already there, but no fixture). In addition, there was a hanging light in the family room that was in a very poor spot and hung much too low. I wanted someone who could remove that light and put up a ceiling fan in the center of the room. In addition, there were 5 outlets which were controlled by light switches that I wanted to have converted to outlets that were always on.
I called a number of electricians in the Las Vegas area, including Task Electric. Alex sent me a message saying that he wanted to come out and see the house and discuss the work in person so he would have a full understanding of what I wanted to be done. I liked that as we would both have a full understanding of the work and the cost for it.
It was important to me to get the work done quickly, and Alex said he could get the job done that same week. His crew was scheduled to be at my house at 8:00 am two days later, and they arrived about 10 minutes early. That was another thing that impressed me about this company as they made sure they were on time. And coming early is always a good thing in my opinion.
We walked through the house and discussed exactly what work was to be done (to make sure there was no confusion). Alex arrived shortly thereafter to make sure that his crew knew what to do and to let me know that if I should have any questions or concerns while the crew was there, I could call him (he was scheduled for a different job that day). It said a lot about him that he came to my house to make sure everyone was on the same page about the work, especially since he had arranged their schedules so they could get the job done right away.
The crew did a great job. They started with the family room and were able to center the ceiling fan so that the lights would illuminate the entire room. This process required them running electrical lines to the new placement and then removing the old light and capping the previous hole in the ceiling where it hung. I also wanted the ceiling fan to be wired to a double switchplate where one switch would control the light and the other would control the fan (I wanted to be able to turn either on without having both on).
They hung the same type of ceiling fan in the master bedroom and wired it the same way as in the family room (double switchplate with one switch working the light and the other working the fan).
After that, they moved on to the two smaller bedrooms. Those rooms were somewhat of a challenge as there were no electrical lines running to the ceiling in them, and they had to run the lines to the switch on the wall and the middle of the ceiling. That involved them going into the attic to get the wires where they needed to be.
Everything went well, but there was an issue with the ceiling fan in the family room. When the fan was on low or medium speeds, it worked great. But when it was turned on to high, the fixture started shaking a lot. I was very concerned about that, and the crew double checked that it was mounted correctly and that everything was as tight as could be. The electrician explained that sometimes the fan motors are not balanced correctly and that he felt this was what was happening in this instance. He also said that the store where I bought the fans (Home Depot) would exchange the one that wasn't working properly. He also said that they could come back when I got another fan and put it up for me (and take down the old one).
I was very concerned that I would have to pay for another fan to be installed, but when I called Alex to discuss the situation, he said that when I got another fan, they would take the old one down and put the new one up free of charge. I was extremely impressed with this as it wasn't an issue with how the fan was installed by his crew, but rather it was an issue with a defective fan being purchased at Home Depot.
Today his crew came back and took down the bad fan and installed the new one. In addition to taking the old one down, they also took it apart so it could be put back into the box it was purchased in, and could be returned to the store.
It says a lot about this company that they do the little things that their customers appreciate. It would have been a difficult for me to take everything apart by myself and they were able to do that for me. In my experience, a lot of companies don't go the extra mile like Task did.
In addition, when they were done with the work when they originally did the job and again today when they came back, they did an excellent job cleaning all of the places where they did work.
Obviously I recommend this company very highly, and would not hesitate to use them again for any electrical needs in the future. In addition, I have recommended them to a number of people and will continue to do so.
