Ahmed got back to me the same day and walked me through steps to troubleshoot my electrical problems. He spent about an hour on the phone with me as he guided me through all of the issues I could be having. He was able to help me narrow down the source of my problems and provided guidance with what to do next. Ahmed put my mind at ease and I definitely recommend his business for your electrical needs. read more

I asked Ahmed and team to do a pretty decently sized job. It seems like a lot of the reviews on here are for small quick-fixes and maybe they're great at that kind of thing. I needed my whole house to be re-wired. Ahmed came in and thoroughly looked over the house before giving me an estimate. He and Jose really seemed to know what they were talking about and their price was quite a bit better than the next competitor. They gave me a price estimate and then said that the job would be done in three to five days (this time-frame was given to me in writing). A MONTH later they still hadn't finished the work. Many of the reviews here mention how awesome Ahmed and Jose are. I only saw Ahmed in my house once during the project. He farmed much of the work out to sub-contractors who, while polite, didn't really seem to have a handle on what they were doing. One kept telling me about all of the times he had electrocuted himself (he proceeded to electrocute himself in my living room). They cut a hole in an exterior wall straight into my living room while trying to install a floodlight and just left the hole. Most of the outlet holes they cut were WAY too big for the outlets and left just gaping holes all over my house. They tore up the ceiling in my bathroom, leaving it impossible to repair. They cut two holes in my bedroom ceiling to install one smoke detector. Aside from the fact that this project took literally 10 times longer than estimated, it was done so poorly I just don't understand where all of the positive reviews have come from. Here's the kicker. Ahmed came into my house after his crew had been working for a month. I walked him through the house showing him all of the incorrectly installed outlets, the holes in the walls, the destroyed ceiling in my bathroom, etc etc etc. He said "I think we did pretty good here, this project came along well." I was flabbergasted. Was this actually the level of success he was going for? He then proceeded to tell me that his team had to go above and beyond because I hadn't asked them to install a plug for a sump-pump under my house. He told me he wanted to charge me for this extra work. This was news to me as I had paid the crawlspace company to do that work. I called the crawlspace company and they assured me that they had indeed done that install themselves. When I confronted Ahmed about it, he backed down. He wasn't here when the install happened anyways so how would he know? He also told me that I should be grateful because they paid for the smoke detectors they installed. They didn't ask me about installing smoke detectors, they didn't tell me this should have been an extra charge or ask me how I'd like to pay for it. Instead they installed them and then told me later that I should have paid for them. ????? Ahmed also asked me for more money ahead of time during the project. The contract clearly stated that I was to pay X amount up front and the remainder when the project passed the inspection. He told me that he had to pay his guys and needed a middle payment. I was NOT going to go ahead and just hand him cash early. This was three weeks past the date he said he was going to be done by. He told me to check the contract. I did. He was wrong. With this motivator, he actually got to the point of getting the inspection done. They of course failed the inspection the first time. This isn't abnormal but the frustrating part was the amount of things they just tried to hide from the inspector. For a complete re-wire they're supposed to remove all old wiring from the house. This has not been done to this day. They got the old wiring that they thought the inspector would be able to see and just left the rest. I paid them to get it to pass inspection and they did. I guess I should have been more specific. He claimed that the project ended up being more difficult because they had to go through my attic with the wiring instead of through my crawlspace. We had completely discussed this challenge ahead of time however. I showed him the attic and he actually climbed up there before even giving me the estimate. He knew the scope of the project from the start, using that as an excuse was not going to work. It's been a couple of weeks since they left and I'm still cleaning up after them. Last week I tried one of the outdoor outlets they installed and when I was pulling the plug back out of the outlet, it just came completely out of the wall. It wasn't attached at all. Today I found a plug behind a bookshelf that wasn't attached to the plug box. Plugs aren't flush to the walls. I've reinstalled 6 of the plugs they've done already. I'm sure if I pestered Ahmed he would eventually send someone over to re-do some of these jobs but I'm well past this point. Every time they came in to my house they created as many problems as they solved. It's easier at this point to just fix things myself. Bottom line: Jose is great, otherwise stay away from Wired Up. read more

A-1 customer service and work. Wired Up came recommended by a friend. First off when I say this guy Ahmed does EVERYTHING he does everything. I wanted my house to be prewired for surround sound in my theatre room but was being charged an outrageous amount by the builder so Ahmed came and wired the room for a 7.1 set up and once the house was finished he came back and found the wires behind the Sheetrock and connected speakers, He also hung my screen along with the center channel (speaker) that hangs over the screen(which was a headache to say the least) but that's where I wanted it for the integrity of the sound in the theatre room and he made it happen. Two thumbs up and hats off to Wired Up. I Definitely recommend Wired up for your electrical needs. read more

Response time was great. I'm out of state and needed someone to change out/upgrade a fuse box for my mother in Goldsboro. I called and Ahmed and Jose' made the trip (70 miles one way) to her home and not only upgraded her fuse box to a circuit breaker, but also made suggestions and helped her with a couple of other electronic things.

Does anybody know how to contact Ahmed or Jose? After having an expensive piece of electrical equipment delivered to this company to an address on Sedwick Rd, he does not answer any calls. The delivery took place back on 12-12-19. We simply want to pick up the equipment at this point so that another responsible electrician can handle this job for us. read more

He arrived on-time, he was polite, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained and fixed the problem, and his prices were very affordable. I will continue to use him for electrical issues in the future! read more

Found Ahmed through yelp after reading reviews. Our home never had a dishwasher so he came and put in a new breaker, ran the new wire, put in a switch and hooked everything up. He was very knowledgeable and easy going about the whole process. Will definitely consider him the next time we need an electrician. read more

Initially I called Ahmed to fix a broken fan in my master bedroom that another electrician "started" working on but never finished. After the first guy left me hanging, I was a little skeptical about reaching out to someone else sight unseen but I am so glad that I did! Ahmed was not only very knowledgeable, but he was also professional, SUPER nice and his pricing was both fair and consistent with the job that was being done. Since then I have had the opportunity to work with both him and Jose several times over. No job is too big or too small for them. Each time they've come back, they have exceeded my expectations by not only doing and excellent job but by also continuing to deliver the same superior customer service. Wired Up is the epitome of what every small business should strive to be like! These guys right here are A-1!!! read more

Ahmed is definitely the best of the best. I recently moved into an old home and even when things didn't look favorable, he and Jose' continued to figure out a way. Ahmed's pricing is better than the competition and he does an incredible job! Truly a job well done. Looking forward to doing more business in the future! read more

Ahmed is amazing he drove all the way down to help me when Home Depot just left my dishwasher with the electrical wires hanging unsafely near water. They left the entire thing unmounted and proceeded to refuse to return. Turns out they hadn't flipped an electrical switch on. He correctly reinstalled everything and charged me next to nothing for dealing with everything. Amazing and wonderful professional. read more

Ahmed was polite honest and professional, I would use him again for any additional electrical projects.

Very efficient and prompt service. I found this company on Yelp and decided to go with him because of the positive reviews and he didn't disappoint. He came out the very same day I called and fixed what was needed. I called him again for additional services and he was able to perform a number of different tasks throughout my home and I didn't have to call a ton of different contractors. He was very pleasant to work with. I plan to use him again in the future. read more

I woke up with an electrical emergency and called Ahmed who was able to respond in just a few hours. Not only did Jose fix my problem, he explained the issue clearly in a way that I could understand. He also checked to make sure that there were no other concerns and that my system was safe. I will definitely use them again if needed. read more

Ahmed did an excellent job fixing a wiring issue in my house. He responded to my Yelp email inquiry quickly, and we set up an appointment just a few days out. He showed up on time and took the time to do the job right. Where another electrician has said the fix would be a big job and quite expensive, Ahmed took the time to investigate and diagnose the problem, which was difficult to find but relatively easy to fix once found. He explained everything he was doing, explained what the problem was, and how he was going to fix it. His price quote was accurate. I'd absolutely recommend him to anyone who's looking for an electrician. read more
