After a big storm all the GFCI outlets and lighting were out. Called and asked for service. Gary pointed out that could just be moisture that prevented the reset button from working-let it go a couple of hours and see. Well that worked great, power restore. Gary saved us the cost of a visit and potentially a cost for replacing a switch that was working fine. That's why we use them for all our electrical work.

CE Tech came out for a Warranty service call, loss of power to front doorbell. The Electrician was punctual, called ahead, and most importantly - identified the problem and fixed the issue in a very timely manner. Will definitely call again for future electrical work. Service: Electrical wiring repair

Contacting and contracting C.E.P. was a breeze! I simply used their online application to detail the services and conditions of the installations I required. After noting my requirements, I received an e-mail requesting I choose an available date, which I did. The actual technician, Brian, contacted me by phone on that date, reconfirmed my request and needs, supplementing them with his estimated arrival time.

After arrival, Brian surveyed the locations I wanted the work done, informed me of safety precautions he'd take, and completed the installations in short thrift and to my satisfaction. I eventually intend to have additional electrical work beyond my capacity done, and believe I was fortunate to have chosen C. E. T., will definitely utilize them again, and highly recommend their services without reservations. Thanks Brian and Certified Electrical Technologies.

I have used CET several times and the technicians are always on time, courteous, thorough and respectful in cleaning up. My latest call was no exception. Chuck did a comprehensive assessment of my complaint of electricity loss. He identified and explained that my faulty installation of a ceiling fan had caused the power outage. I have complete confidence in the work of CET.

Both chuck and Brian were very knowledgeable and professional in replacing the ceiling fan on a tall ceiling. Chuck diagnosed the problem, and game me a clear estimate of the estimated time and cost of the replacement. Outstanding job! Service: Installation

I love this company and am so thankful. My home warranty sent another company to my house 3 times and my electric still wasn't fix. This company came once and found the real reason the electric wasn't working. It took time to diagnose and I appreciate the tech being patient. The tech was amazing and had a great personality. He explained the issue thoroughly and fixed it.

I haven't had power in my master bedroom since October! Blessed that the home warranty let me get a second opinion and that this company knew what they were doing. I highly recommend them!

Chuck, with Certified Electric, was by far the best contractor I've ever come across. He arrived with a great spirit and attitude. Although it took a while to figure out, he was able to pinpoint my problem and fix it as well as point out several things to me that I should be aware of if I ever have similar problems. I would highly recommend and definitely request if ever needed again.

Our service guy was on time and very professional when he arrived to our home. He took the time to make sure our dishwasher was working by letting it run before leaving our home. I would use this service again. Service: Repair panel

CET Customer Service Sucks! Bought a home and haven't moved in yet. Lights in basement is off, after checking the panel I saw breaker was tripped. Reset and it continued to trip. Call Home warranty company -they sent a CET tech out. Tech also reset breaker and shortly after he left the breaker flipped and lights out again. Tech said this may happen and if it did just call CET directly. Called this morning and was basically accused by the customer service person of lying that the breaker had tripped again and then ask what I am using in the house to keep tripping the breaker.

The house is empty! I guess he is having mental issues and doesn't understand his job is the assist the customers not accuse them. OMG! He then demand that I tell home what I was doing in the house to trip the breaker- I am not an electrician! The available workforce is plentiful --- I am sure he can be easily replaced with someone who understands customer service. CET Customer Service Sucks!

Best of the best. We had some crackling and plugs that were out. Not only did he explain everything and took time and helped me label the circuit box but he was so nice. So pleasant and professional. He put our safety first

Been living in my apartment for 5 years now and the owner of the apartment noticed some needed maintenance for my place. The hottest issue is that the circuit breaker is outdated which can cause serious damage at any time. So with the permission from the building owner I checked on Google for an electrical service which offers circuit breaker replacement and installation.

The reasons we choose Certified Electrical Technologies in Alexandria are their electricians are some of the best-known around and use the highest quality of circuit breakers on the market too. The installation from CET's professional was very excellent and prompt. The reliability of these circuit breakers is tip top that they will trip with dangerous voltage fluctuation and never cause a big problem. Great Experience and hopefully won't be calling them too soon, but if I have an electrical problem we already know who to call.
