Handy Electrician - Electricians Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Percy is a born salesman, and he will make you feel like he's got everything under control. I hired him to do a simple EV Charger install, and he quoted me $1000. Then it changed to $1500, then $2500. He didn't do any of the work himself and had to tear out half the install at least once because it clearly was a safety hazard. He charged me $550 for wire that he didn't even use; his employee did a half-ass job that won't pass inspection. In total, they spent less than 12 hours on the job (9 if you skip the part where they had to uninstall the first part) and charged me $3350. That's nearly $400/hr for substandard work. When approached about it, he pretended to listen, but nothing changed. He refuses to return my calls or respond to a certified letter. He's a fast talker, though, so be cautious. We gave him multiple chances to refund the $850 he overcharged us, and he won't reply. We will be reporting him to the labor board and to the Licensing Bureau for electricians. It's unfortunate that he turned out to be so irresponsible. read more

Had an emergency situation. Called Handy Electrician in hopes he would answer his calls on a Sunday. Of all the electricians I called today he was the only one to answer and he was also available. Explained to him the situation and he was able to give a quote over the phone. He was honest about his availability, and also mentioned if he had to do more that was not inclusive based on his estimate. So my mother's home needed a house knob. Exactly what i said. What the heck is a house knob? Well Percy came to our rescue. I called at 12:15 pm. He said he had a prior commitment and would come by between 3 and 3:30. Sent his ETA of 3:45. He was here at 3:37 pm. Very thorough in explaining what he needed to do. Explained our next steps. Very great personality. Pricing was reasonable especially for a Sunday visit and triage. $150. Will use him again if ever presented with another problem and would recommend. read more

I didn't get his name but it's rare for someone to spend time on the phone and explain to you what could be the problem with your truck but this gentleman helped me greatly. We do the same thing if a customer calls our shop and ask a question about their Heat or Air. read more

Percy is a great guy AND he does great work! He is always extremely responsive, personable, & prompt. He also lets us know up front what the cost will be. Couldn't ask for a better electrician. read more

We have worked with many contractors over the last 10 years and Percy is by far one of the best we've ever worked with. This is the second time he's worked with us:we have finally found our "go-to" electrician. We recently had a chandelier installed by Handy Electrician. April was very personable and a great addition to Percy's team!! Continued success and thanks for being such a great contractor! read more

Very professional, on time and honest . I highly recommend this contractor and his services.

Honest & prompt and at a last minute's notice late in the day; I'm talking after 4 p.m... Percy and his crew couldn't have been more gracious and professional. And Honest. The reason for me calling them was due to their location, -a few minutes away, -literally. I m the one who should have done more research. -They are licensed electricians, specializing in the electrical field, etc. -Not for what I needed to be addressed. I was not charged and referred to the proper source : A plumber! Much thanks to Percy and his crew. I will be contacting him again for some wiring issues that need to be addressed in my loft and more. Most definitely. read more

Handy Electrician - Percy will help you out @ Handy Electrician. :) - Electricians Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

When my daughter bought a house in Atlanta that we knew it needed a lot of work but did not plan for needing a complete rewiring and fast. I started researching area electricians. We had several different contractors come out for quotes, but Percy's background, fast response, professionalism, and fair price was the reason we choose Handy Electrician. We had a deadline to perform a major remodeling of the home in only a few months. Percy and his team worked with us or more like around us, as we performed demolition and rebuilding while they worked to get the home rewired and ready for inspection. As the plans for the remodel where always being adjusted Percy rolled with the changes that we ask him to make. We had one light control center with multiple switches and needed to add an additional switch. I remember telling Percy I felt bad making him take it apart to add another switch because with all the wiring that had to be brought into those boxes I could not believe how clean and organized he made it. I have had Percy back several times to make a few more changes and additions. He is always quick to respond, gets the job done and price is always reasonable. I would highly recommend Handy Electrician for any size job. read more

I recently purchased a home so I have dealt with my fair share of contractors (good and bad). The most important factors for me are professionalism, prompt and knowledgeable.The Handy Electrician is ALL of these and more. I wanted lights replaced in a multiple locations in my home. Mr Hampton arrived ON TIME to review my request in-home and provided a detailed electronic quote within 48 hours. He also provided feedback on the best options based on his expertise. After my quote was completed, I was easily able to schedule installation. Again, he arrived on time and prepared to work. I changed my mind last minute on the type of light fixture I wanted and he just rolled with it. I was able to get the results I wanted without any hassle. Now I cant wait to come home to my newly lighted house! I will definitely be calling him again for the remainder of my lighting installations and other electrical needs. I would highly recommend him for your electrical needs as well. Fair pricing for quality workmanship. read more

Handy Electrician - Finished light installation! - Electricians Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Had several light fixtures that were old and needed to be upgraded. Percy and his team came over and got right to work. They were quick and professional, and best of all, now my "terrace" apartment (which tends to be dark) is full of light and brightness. They were very careful with my furniture and made sure to clean up any of their debris. Plus, Percy is a guy who takes his professional work seriously, but who is clearly also a very good person who makes sure his customer is happy. I highly recommend Handy Electrician! read more

Percy is a real pro! He's very responsive, punctual, patient, and willing to answer any questions you may have. He has a great attitude and great customer service. We are currently in the middle of a kitchen remodel and two days ago the electrician that our GC scheduled drops out to do a different job. Given the timing of when materials arrived and when other trades had been scheduled to perform their work, we needed someone to come and do the requisite electrical work in our kitchen with two days notice. I called up Percy and he was able to come out the next day to quote the job. He looked at the work that needed to be completed, talked through each step and made sure that any concerns or questions were answered. Understanding our time constraint, he was also quick at getting us his credential before the work began, as our HOA required them. He also came out the following day to complete the work. The work in the kitchen only took him a few hours to complete and some additional work in another portion of the home also took only a few hours to complete. Also, he went out to exchange the light switch I had purchased when he saw that I had purchased the incorrect switch - he really went really above and beyond. Highly recommend. read more

I used Handy Electrician to put in a new outlet for a washing machine where there was formerly a single combo unit. Why did I provide a high rating? Percy was able to schedule an appointment within a few days of me calling him. He was able to provide an accurate high level estimate which the final job was within. He arrived on time (I was late and he was patient). He was able to quickly evaluate the situation and provide the different options as well as the cons of each. He was able to complete the work on the same day as the estimate for a reasonable price. There is a one year guarantee on the work. I would recommend his work. He was polite and professional. He was very prompt and easy to work with. If you have had issues with another larger service in Atlanta saying they wouldn't provide high level estimates, that they charge to come and even look to provide an estimate, I recommend calling Handy Electrician. MUCH better experience! read more

No one ever answers, mailbox is full, no one returns emails. Would suggest hiring more people if the business is that busy or at the very least clear your voice mail. read more

The disconnect to our water heater burned out, and we were out of hot water for 4 days. I called a couple other electricians that were recommended on a Saturday, and no one answered the phone or called us back. Percy at Handy Electrician was quick to answer the phone Sunday morning and made time to come out the same day. He was very friendly, explained what happened, what he was doing, and his reasoning behind all the things he did. He had to make a couple trips to Home Depot, but he had such a great attitude about the whole process. He had to do some extra work to move the disconnect into a different location so the next electrician would have an easier time accessing it. All in all, I'll recommend them to all my friends and for any work I have in the future. read more

Percy is the best of the best. He is kind, communicative and very professional. He takes his time to make sure each project is completed precisely. I recommend him 100%! read more

Super fast, super friendly and the price was great. I can't say anything about Handy Electrician without giving a shout out to yelp's "request a quote" feature.

Percy was great to work with! He came out the same day that I called to install a ceiling fan and add a light kit to an existing fan in our new house. He was very upfront about price and everything looks great! read more

I called these guys and Percy came right out to give an estimate for installing new outdoor outlets and circuits for my electric lawnmower (underpowered or overloaded circuits can ruin a motor). He was very friendly and professional and discussed different options with me and gave me a fair quote. They came back a few days later to do the install, and they did an excellent job. It was exactly what I needed, and they were a pleasure to do business with. I am sure I will call them again when I need electrical work. I also like that they are in town, so they can get to me quickly. read more

Thanks Percy for helping me out today! Percy helped me out with a small prob with a circuit that I just didn't want to troubleshoot myself. Normally don't like calling for reinforcements, but I'm glad I did. He was fast, efficient, professional and friendly. Price was fair and I'm happy to pay an honest guy and honest price. Will use again. read more

Will recommend Percival to our next door neighbor. He charged us $75 instead of his usual $150 first hour diagnosis charge because our issue was simple and took only him only a couple of minutes. He was pleasant, honest and I will use his again. Donna Thompson read more

I shopped around for my project and found Percy to be the best quality and price option. We were converting from a gas water heater to an electric model. We live in a ranch style home with a crawlspace and the codes today would no longer allow us to install a gas water heater in that location without running a vent straight up through the house and the attic to the roof - which was not an option. However, installing a new electric water heater requires a dedicated 30 amp, 250v circuit, plus we added a recirculating pump so that we could have near instant hot water at our kitchen faucet. This addition required a dedicated 120v, 20 amp circuit. However, we didn't have any open spaces in our electrical panel. Therefore, Percy recommended installing a sub-panel that would accommodate these new circuits and give us a few more spaces for future expansion. I did my research and verified with the state that Percy is a licensed electrician and is unlimited in scope of what he can do. Initially, we expected Percy to be the one doing all the work, but later found out that one of his people, a nice young man named Roman who came out to collect the information for the final estimate was the one who would be doing the work. At first we were hesitant about letting him do the work as he is an apprentice with Percy. However, Percy said that he would personally come out with Roman as he started the job and that he would be in and out throughout the day inspecting all of the work Roman did. He explained that he is trying to grow his business, so he can't be the one doing all the work. However, he has personally trained all of his apprentices and inspects all work they do on the job to ensure it is up to the specifications and is fully compliant with today's electrical codes. Well, Roman did an outstanding job! Other electricians said they would have to cut a hole in the sheetrock and they CLEARLY stated that they would NOT be responsible for any sheetrock repairs. So I was thinking I was going to have to patch up the hole where they installed the new panel. However, Roman cut such a perfect size hole to exactly match the size of the new panel, that I didn't have to do any sheetrock repair. He didn't even make a mess in the storage room where the panel was installed. Roman showed me what he did in great detail so I would know what to tell the installers when they came to install the water heater. He even showed me how the special beaker worked in the crawlspace where the water heater installers (Delta Mechanical - Home Depot's exclusive contractors) would need to safeguard themselves when making their connections. So this circuit has both a standard double-pole breaker in the new electrical sub-panel, but also a manual "T" breaker in the crawlspace that can be used if any maintenance work needs to be completed. Percy's quote was 25% - 30% lower than any of the other electricians whom we had out to give us estimates. I highly recommend Percy Hampton and his apprentice Roman. I couldn't have had a better experience. Plus Percy stands behind his work and will fix anything that may come up if their installation encounters any problems - which I highly doubt. If I ever need any other electrical work, Percy - The Handy Electrician is the one I am calling. read more

I couldn't be happier with the responsiveness, professionalism, pricing and quality of Percy's work. I've been an owner of investment properties for years and I've hired hundreds of subcontractors. Very few of them have I been willing to invite into my personal home to do work. But, Percy is one that I would trust in any situation! He's fantastic and I give him the highest possible recommendation without hesitation. read more

Yesterday we had water accidentally sprayed into an outside electrical socket. We immediately saw smoke but there was no fire. Our kitchen lights would not turn on so I made the call To handy electrician. I told him what happend and he knew exactly what the issue was. He explained how he charges (very reasonable) and came out the same day. Within an hour of his arrival he replaced outside socket fixed, the fuse box and our lights were on . He was fast knowledgeable and professional. I would gladly recommend his service to ANYONE. read more

I am a stickler for time, so when a professional gives me an hour window, I truly expect you to arrive PREPARED to begin working within that window. The first guy (The owner I assume) was 30 minutes late outside of the window, came with no tools and then had to leave to go pick up additional men to install a celiing fan. Wait, a Ceiling Fan? Not to mention they were charging an arm and leg for this installation. After waiting for another hour, I decided against their service and would NEVER think of using them again. BOOOO! Two thumbs WAY DOWN! read more

Percy is the best!! I had an emergency breaker situation and he was kind enough to squeeze me into his schedule. His communication was consistent, he was professional, efficient and in 15 minutes he fixed an issue that I've been trying to resolve for 2 months now. I'll only use him for all of my electrical needs from now on! read more

Really good response time and service. The technician was able to make it out the day after we called and he was on time. Prices were good and I was informed of the details of the work needed every step of the way. Would definitely recommend. read more
