Choate HVAC & Electrical

Sep 2021

These guys did an amazing job. Shortly after closing on our house, the AC went out, which led to the discovery that the house still had the original 1940s knob and tube wiring throughout the entire house which had been spliced (not to code) to new wire for the added AC and appliances all run to the tiny 100amp service panel. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and being pregnant in the Texas summertime with no AC is a big NO. We called Choate after we'd received an outrageous bid from another outfit, and Walter came out the next day to check everything out. He gave us a very reasonable quote not just to rewire our house, but to also run power to our shop and update the service panel to 200amps. Walter also made sure to come out before they were able to start the work to ensure that we had at least a functioning AC so I would be comfortable. Then the work began and it was discovered that our home was built to be bulletproof lol shiplap everywhere, layers of siding, firebreaks galore, unexpected 2x4s in the walls in random places. Our house put up a fight. Andy and Amon worked their butts off to get this job not just finished but adding things like more lighting in the bathroom and laundry area to exterior porch outlets to make our lives more convenient and comfortable. I cant say enough how much we appreciate all of the hard work and hours these guys put in to make our home better all while remaining kind, courteous (despite the many challenges) and patient with our 4 crazy dogs. Choate electric will be the only guys we call for any electrical or AC needs that we have in the future.
