Dodrill Electric was hired to convert  old 2 wire electrical  to 3 wire (w/ground) and replace all…read more the receptacles about 2 years ago. My brother recently discovered when he was remolding  that the  "Licensed Electrician" Dale illegally spliced the 3 wire into the old 2 wiring system by connecting the ground into the old Neutral wires not even using a junction box. This type of work is deplorable and put my brother in his family at risk to an electrical fire.  Dodrill refused to correct. The wiring has since been replaced (not by Dodrill).

I sent in my request that day and had a response that night, even during the holiday!! My tech was on time to the appointment and worked very hard to find my issues around the house. Inside, above, below and finally outside. The cost for the time and work done was beyond fair and reasonable. I could not have been happier with the turnout. Thank you!

NIPSCO said that I needed an electrician to reattach the wire as it was not their responsibility to do such work. Enter Chris and Kurt - what a team! They work very well together and assessed my problem and gave me two estimates. They suggested to me that I go with option one and gave me a 1 year guarantee that if that didn't hold, they'd come back and provide option 2 and give me credit for what I already paid. They were very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all my questions. I'm very satisfied with the work they did and think their pricing was quite reasonable. I'm very glad to recommend them and kudos to the company for having these 2 guys working for them!

If i hadn't complained and threw a fit....the cost would have been more than double of what I ended up paying.

He found the problem, fixed the problem, checked several other components, cleaned up as he went along. He was very efficient, courteous, and knowledgable. After testing the unit, and checking incoming and outgoing temperatures, he asked if I had any other problems or questions. What more could you ask ? This work was still covered under the 10 year warranty I was given when I purchased this unit from Economy. ( 9-1/2 years later ) The first problem ever.

Duane and what I think is his son came out the next morning for me on very short notice. The service was efficient and professional ,however, as with all electricians was pricey. Service call was 65, and as a journeyman its 76/hr plus the apprentice is like 50 something, so figure about 130/hr with both of them there. If you have to call an electrician, these two guys are where it's at. Also, no credit cards accepted, cash or check only. I didn't know that before hand but Duane let me drop it off later that day to his shop in Crown Point.

I knew it wasn't going to be a quick and easy job. My primary concern was that the wiring wouldn't be visible, which would detract from my home's appearance. It was raining on the scheduled installation date, and I fully expected a call from Foster asking to reschedule. To my complete surprise, Nate and Joe showed up promptly on time, ready to tackle the task. The siding material on my house is thick, hard as a rock and pretty tough to drill through. It took a full day and a good part of the following morning. In the end, the job they did was BEAUTIFUL. Not a wire to be seen anywhere, and no mess left behind. Need electrical done? Forget the rest and hire the best. Call Foster Electric. I'm sure glad I did and will again.
