I had a great experience with Beacon Electrical Services. They replaced all of my switches and plugs, which were starting to go bad. In parts of my house I had no electricity at all. It was all because of the flimsy back-stab or stab-lock wiring technique used 15 years ago by my builder. We thought it would be a pretty straight-forward job, but it became apparent that the builder also failed to provide any slack wiring for any switch or outlet so Beacon had to add work to the job to splice in extensions, which they did not charge me for. This added a lot of labor.

While doing this job they looked at the inside of my electrical panel and found (again) flimsy builder grad crap and the questionable use of slim-line breakers and evidence of burning on the main bus bar. So I had Beacon also replace the electrical box. My electrical system is now in much better shape.

My service technicians were Alex, Joey and Manuel. Each provided high quality professional service to me. I am very happy.

I had found Beacon Electrical in the Prince William County Homeowner Referral Guide. Because of the great reviews in the guide I decided to give them a try... needed to fix a broken doorbell and Jacuzzi on switch. Heidi at the office was very friendly and immediately scheduled the technicians to visit my home. Victor and Nick came (even late in the day) to resolve my issues. They were very knowledgeable, respectful, and took their time listening to me and then explaining the issues. We were able to resolve both problems in no time! I truly appreciated the care they placed in making sure the job was completed to 110% of my satisfaction. Victor and Nick even took the time to recommend a whole home surge protector to prevent future issues. They were both true professionals! I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Beacon and their employees! Jesse and FrancIs worked on my house and they were wonderful! They are professional, knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and will do what it takes to ensure that you are safe.

Not only were they able to fix every problem they found in a reasonable amount of time, they were priced extremely well. They quoted us a price originally during the diagnostic but once they got back to fix everything, they realized that there was more issues and problems but we were not charged anymore than we were quoted! There were no hidden costs and we did not feel like they were finding things and adding to the bill. I am not sure how companies do this but I was impressed with their customer service!

Not only did they do their job but they educated me on everything they were doing, and why they were doing it. Francis was great at explaining everything, every step of the way! I know what was done on my house, why it was done, where everything is, and what needs to be done in the future if I choose to put an addition on the house.

I would recommend Beacon to anyone who needs electrical work (100 times over). There is no doubt that if I ever need an electrician I will call them again!

I hired Beacon Electric to do several repairs around the house. I cannot recommend them enough! I have hired many contractors over the tears, and what impressed me the most, aside from their effective communication and punctuality, was their attention to detail. So many contractors try to take shortcuts, and the technician handling my repairs did all of them with high quality solutions. They will be the first nam that comes to mind whenever a friend or family member needs an electrician referral from me!

To provide context, I am a new home owner. I was trying to save $ and make my house looks great/ have the functionality I needed. So, if you are a homeowner, trying to save $ and make your house look great - go with Beacon - at the end of the day - they are your best bet. I would even ask for Victor and Omar by name (not sure if this is possible)- cause they were simply fantastic. Most businesses try to satisfy the customers. Beacon's team of Victor and Omar (and Heidi on the phone) left me simply impressed.

If you are looking at this review - you are probably comparing the many electrician options available in the area, with great reviews and whatnot. Based on the reviews on yelp, I scheduled three companies to provide quotes on work to be done in my house. This work included running an HDMI cable through the ceiling between floors, hiding cable wires, installing additional power outlets (one on the ceiling for the projector), etc.

One of the companies quoted me $117/hr (with yelp discount) and stated that the job seems simple enough and should take no more than 3 hours.
Beacon Electrical Services refused to provide a quote without seeing the premise, and waived to dispatch fee to send out Victor Figueroa. Victor toured the entire house with me, took diligent notes about all my requirements, and made sure he understood the scope of the work. Once the walk through was completed, victor made a suggestion about the type of lighting I was using. He said it would conflict and not give me the results I wanted. He made a recommendation - but this was not an up sell or a pressure sales environment. It was simply a recommendation. I liked what he said, and decided to go with it. During the assessment Victor agreed with the other company's assessment that this SHOULD be a simple job and SHOULD take no more than 4 hours. He quoted me a price (higher than the other company's ($117 x 3 or 4) but I decided to go with Beacon Electrical Services because I wanted a fix price contract, and because Victor was easy to work with.

Victor and Omar came back to do the job. What should have been a very simple, get in drill a hole here and there, and get out - turned out to be probably one of the toughest installs for these guys. They ran into studs everywhere they went (the house has horizontal and vertical studs) which required them to drill additional holes. They explained to me why each hold was being drilled, and the situation and asked for permission before proceeding. Seeing my face about a bunch of holes being made in a new house, Omar and Victor assured me that the wall can easily be patched up and made as if nothing was ever done. Omar, also game me simple DIY tips on doing the work myself.

In the end - what again, should have been a easy 3-4 hour job became an extremely hard 8+ hour job. The entire time Victor and Omar remained courteous, calm and professional. They did a phenomenal job with the entire work. I applied the patch work that Omar showed me and the walls/ceiling looks like Beacon never showed up. The house looks great, and all my requirements were met. The best part was - the price of the contract did not change even though these two had to go through so much more than what was initially expected.

I got my 4 way switch installed. The electrician came early and finished the work. It about an hour to do. Overall, I'm pleased with the quality of work and the service their service!
