Best Electricians in United States
Best electricians I've worked with, hands down. They did great work, promptly, and with care for design and space. Not only were they best bid I'd received, but they did the work in half the time that anybody else had said would be needed.

The epitome of customer service. Frank Perlongo is good, no great, and performs work as though it was being performed on his own home.

I just had him replace a main circuit breaker and he couldn't have been any better! He was fast, friendly and gave an outstanding price! I'm so impressed, he even stopped to tighten screws on our back door without any prompting and now it works better too! Just the very best experience one could imagine! A+++++ to the max!

Our Central Air conditioner was not working. There was no air for a week. I was looking on the internet for a reliable company. Then I found Malek Heating and Cooling. I was reading their customer reviews. They have all 5 stars rating. I called them 6/07/2011 around noon. Mike called me back. He said he will come late at night. Mike came and fixed our air conditioner. Mike said he will come back the next day to replace our thermostat.I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for heating and cooling services. They are very reasonable compared to other companies out there. George and Mike are very nice guys! Thank you very much!

I'm really not understanding why my experience was a complete 180 from other reviewers, but calling it a nightmare would be a supreme understatement.
I needed a dedicated outlet for the sump pump in the crawlspace because you cannot use an extension cord for it in my town. I called Vlad, believing I had called him before and he never got back to me (this was my error). He was very polite and came immediately to look at the work needing to be done. So far, so good! He quoted me a very fair price and said he could do the job the same day - even better! I made sure I said that the sump pump needed to be plugged directly into an outlet. He said he needed to go to the hardware store to pick up what he needed, after 2 hours I called him to make sure he was coming back. He replied yes, he would be here shortly.
And this is where my nightmare began.
A couple hours later, I notice that it had gotten very warm in my house. AC is usually set at 72 and when I checked the thermostat, it read 80. I politely asked Vlad if he did something to the AC, and his reply was too many wires and went back to what he was doing. That really wasn't an answer but I went back in the house and turned some fans on, sure that he would fix whatever he did to cause the AC not to work.
As the hours progressed (he started work at about noon). the AC still wasn't working and the WiFi thermostat was turning off and on and re-setting every few minutes. He was messing with the breaker box for a REALLY long time and would NOT answer my questions but rather just shrugging his shoulders and ignoring me. You have no idea how frustrating that was.
At about 6:30 (still no AC, mind you), he comes into the house and asks me for an extension cord. I ask him what for. He replies that he needs one to plug the sump pump into the outlet. Excuse me, what??? The whole reason I needed a contractor was because I needed the sump pump to plug directly into an outlet! He tells me that he thought it was better to put the outlet close to the crawlspace door and that's why he needed an extension cord, because the outlet was too far away from the sump pump cord. I tell him that he did not do the job correctly and that I needed the outlet close enough to the sump pump so that the cord could be plugged directly into it AND he still needed to address my AC not working.
He insisted that he did nothing to the AC wiring and that it must be an issue with the AC or the thermostat. Both are fairly new and it was highly unlikely that it was not his fault. He insisted that I needed to call an AC person to come look at what the problem could be and repeatedly insisted that he did nothing wrong.
At 7:30 he comes back into the house and simply says, Money, give me money. My husband came home from work at this point and told Vlad that he must have done something wrong, crossed a wire, something, because there was no way this was not his fault. We wrote him a check for less than what we agreed on, because come on! He got a bit ugly at that but finally left.
We had no choice but to call the AC company that services our furnace/AC. That was a $155 service call. While we were waiting for them to show, I went to do a load of laundry only to find that there was no power running to the washer and dryer. My husband went to the breaker box and found that the washer and dryer were now connected to the furnace breaker, so YES ABSOLUTELY he caused the problem because the washer and dryer were previously on their own (correct) breaker.
So, the AC company could not help because it was not an HVAC issue, and I then had to find an emergency electrical company that had a $195 service call fee. No way in hell did I trust Vlad to come back and fix what he messed up. Although the electrical company came Saturday morning, the repair was so extensive (and required an HVAC tech along), the repair could not be done until Monday. We spent 72 hours without AC.
Attached you will see the invoices, showing that yes, it was very much Vlad's fault. We have had to pay over $1300 to fix what he did.
Installing a new outlet on a dedicated circuit breaker is basically Electrician 101.
In addition to this review, I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and seriously considering pursuing legal action - something I have never done in all my many years of being a consumer/customer.

We hired a service from Angi's List to have a wall knocked down in our home. Sooo we had to have some electricity rerouted. The electrician, they brought with them, completely bailed on us and left us with wires hanging and outlets exposed. With two boys and two dogs we had to find an electrician reliable and fast. We gave Johnny a call and he really came through for us. He was friendly, reasonable, and just an over all a really cool guy. The electrical work was neat and thorough. We will be using his services for our basemanent and any other future projects.

Our Generac whole house generator failed to come on during a multi-hour power outage on a Sunday morning. The Generac support line recommended AL Electric as the closest dealer. Andrey picked up the phone after two rings, came out within an hour, and had our generator running within 2 minutes. (The generator had an error code that required dealer service.) His charge for an emergency visit on a Sunday morning was very reasonable and he will be coming back later in the week to do full maintenance on the unit. As the Generac support person said, you need to have a dealer do maintenance on it yearly so AL Electric will be our regular service. Andrey is also very friendly and knowledgeable.

Our Condo building uses ABS Electric for our common area electrical repairs and equipment replacement. Have not had a job they could not do.
My wife and I had used them in the past in our condo unit for a chandelier move and adding a couple of dimmer switches. All went well.
Today we used them to add two ceiling can lights with dimmer switches and rough out a wall in our bedroom so we could add an electric fireplace. More work then I imagined but they tackled the job of moving conduit pipes that where there, adding a junction box and another two outlets. Brian and Jason were on time, worked hard, did a couple of great installations and left the area neat and clean.I thought the price was fair. I feel comfortable recommending ABS Electric to my condo neighbors.

In Town remains 5 star all the way. I've since had them come do additional relatively small jobs, all excellent. Even better, they stand behind their work no matter what (I'm NOT meaning to imply they did poor work, sometimes things just fail). This is something you don't see every day anymore, but greatly appreciated as a customer. All this combined will keep me a LOYAL customer for all my electrical work. Thanks again, In Town.

Very unprofessional and questionable business practices. Overpriced cash grab for 2 minutes of work and less than 10 minutes total between pulling into my driveway and leaving, taking advantage of someone selling a home.
PES was asked to come essentially remove one screw and charged $175. Robert left our home without providing a receipt and then five days later, reached back out saying he realized that more work was needed which would be an additional $775. This was a simple job within a town he is supposedly familiar with that he was happy to do, collect payment on, and leave. Either he was incompetent enough to not realize what needed to be done when he was standing in front of a sub panel or he was looking to further try and take advantage of us. Regardless of which is accurate, I would never have them back in my home working on anything.
Unfortunately, their lack of professionalism does not end there but instead extends to a receipt ultimately being produced that states something to the effect of my work doesn't satisfy the inspection report. This man was never shown an inspection report or any other documentation for that matter. He also proceeded to reply to another negative review posted by my wife in which he fabricated a quote to paint her in a negative light.
I have absolutely no respect for anyone who runs a business this way and even if I could give a zero star review, it would be too generous.

This guy is a joke. I set up an appointment a week in advance. 12:30pm he still hasn't showed up or contacted me, so I call and leave a voice message. It is now 1:30 and I still haven't heard from him so I call back and finally get him on the line. He is mumbling something about his back hurts so he can't make it out today (Ps. he sounds drunk and barely coherent). I start saying it is very unprofessional to not keep in communication about something like this, but I didn't get to finish my sentence because he hung up on me. I'm sure he decided much earlier than 1:30 that he wasn't going to be coming. I agree with the other reviewer, a complete waste of time. DO NOT USE THIS JOKER!!

Steve came to our condominium to install an outlet in the laundry room and a pair of ceiling fixtures in the dining room. Steve worked diligently first installing the outlet. Steve ran wire through a narrow wall placing the outlet in a better place than I imagined was possible. Then working overhead he drilled into our hard concrete ceiling. He measured and exactly placed two pendent lights. This install was done correctly and no touch up painting was required. Thank you to everyone at Corrigan & Freres. We appreciate Steve's attention to detail.

Very good services.
Although their company can't provide refrigerator repair service, the owner provided accurate information.

I love Don. He will give you an honest price and do an honest job. In my book, it doesn't get better than that.

This company is amazing! I've been using them for a few months and can't explain how easy it is to get someone to come and do the work. The rates are very reasonable, and the crew is professional! I've dealt with Juan, Fernando, Sergio, Eddie and Uli, all who would communicate and no BS! They all wore PPE and mindful of the kids doing the e-learning thing!

Could not say enough great things about Milan at MD Advanced Electric. Hired him to hardwire my pool pump. I kept getting delays in my pool install, and Milan was super flexible. The day he came out to do the work, it was well over 100 degrees with the heat index. Milan got all the work done quickly, and even took the time to show me that all the safety aspects of the install were working.
Would absolutely hire again!
