We bought a new dryer that was causing an electrical fuse to blow whenever we used it. I called PB Electrical Services and they came right away, diagnosed the issue as needing a new circuit breaker, and fixed it same day. Great service and I'll definitely use them for future electrical needs!

Pablo, Tony, Grace and the whole team were amazing. They immediately came to bid the work and started the project a few days later. Running electricity to the second unit through the back porch down from a hot attic in 90 degree plus weather, all with zero complaints. I'm renovating a two-unit property and will definitely use again for the lower unit when the tenants leave. Highly recommend.

Omar did excellent job on our electrical work. project,,,installed conduit and outdoor outlets for deck and landscape lighting .He knows his stuff....appreciate the quiet professional approach...he does not waste a lot of time talking a lot of nonsense but just comes in and gets the job done. answered all questions thoroughly ....Pricing was direct and fair...and correlated with the price estimate before work was done..I recommend him without hesitation...

I needed a electrician to install power outlets for my newly plumbed laundry hookup in my loft.  I happened to stumble upon Montoya Electric Co. in Yelp.  Uriel and his father showed up on time as scheduled and did amazing work. Conduit runs were neat and straight and they didn't butcher my walls with unnecessary holes.  They also cleaned up after they were finished.  I will definitely use Montoya Electric Co. in the future and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for great electricians.

Highly recommended in every respect. Came out the same day that I called and, seeing that it was quick & easy fix, refused to take payment.

Perlongo Electric is exactly what his voicemail claims, your friendly neighborhood electrician. Frank is extremely friendly and upfront with the estimate. He installed 3 ceiling fans and four can lights in my house, and he finished right on time for exactly whet he bid the job for. He actually changed all my old two prong outlets into grounded prong outlets for no additional cost. He was very knowledgable and hard working. It must have been 100 degrees in my attic where he had to run wire for the lights, but he still finished on time. I have called him several time with questions about electrical work and if he can explain a fix for me to do he would, otherwise come and take a look. I was extremely happy with the work Frank did and I would highly recommend him to any friends or family of mine. You will not be disappointed.

John came to fix my ceiling fan the same day I first contacted him. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Price was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Called then on Monday, scheduled an  appointment for Wednesday evening. The person taking the appointment said they would call when they are on the way. When I didn't hear from them on Wednesday I called them. This time the person said I will have then call you. That was the last I heard from them. I never saw them.

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.

I absolutely love Johny! I recently purchased my first home and I reached out to this company after another company was 5 hours late to my consultation. Volts & Watts is now my one and only option. Not only was I given a same day consultation (and on time) Johny was able to install the vision I was looking for in little to no time at a better rate than what I was originally going to pay. My lights are perfect and give my home such a beautiful modern new look.

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.

ABS was recommended by a residential lighting retailer.  I emailed them on a Saturday, and got a response the next day!  We scheduled an appointment for an estimate, then received a quote a few days later.  The ABS team came out promptly at the agreed upon time, and were extremely professional.  They installed a medium-sized chandelier in a vaulted foyer in about an hour.   Highly recommended!!  Bryan Rice and the ABS team will not disappoint.

Tom and his team just completed work at our house in Mount Prospect installing 6 new LED can lights and a new ceiling fan in our living room and two new LED can lights in our upstairs hallway. Every aspect of our experience with InTown was top notch. I requested an estimate via their website and got an almost immediate response offering to schedule a convenient date/time for Tom to come by and scope out the work we were hoping to have done. A couple days prior to our scheduled estimate I had to call to reschedule due to COVID concerns and Dawn was extremely understanding and happy to reschedule for a later date. Once we had our estimate rescheduled, Tom dropped by in the evening and patiently walked through the various aspects of the projects I had in mind. He was friendly, polite, wore a mask and booties without me needing to ask, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Within a couple of hours, he emailed me a detailed line-by-line estimate consistent with the work we had discussed.

When we decided to go with InTown for the work, Dawn made it super easy to schedule a date and I received a text messages a day before the scheduled work to confirm the date and start time.

Tom and his team arrived promptly at 8am and took good care to lay down drop cloths and talk us through their game plan to be sure they would be locating the new can lights and fans in the right locations. The project ended up throwing them quite a few curve balls (thick plaster walls, conduit/wires not where they were expecting), but Tom and his team used their experience to find a solution that got us to the desired result with minimal wall damage/need for wall patching.

Tom and his team did a great job taking the necessary time to clean up once completing the project. And before leaving, Tom said to be sure to contact him if there was any aspect of the project that was not meeting our expectations.

Overall, we're very pleased with InTown's professionalism, organization, communication, and work. I would, without hesitation, recommend InTown to anyone looking to have electric work done.

Dave saved me!  after spending hours trying to install a new thermostat (i'm not at all handy) I called Patterson's.  he arrived in 15 minutes and had me up and running in no time.

After a few days of flickering, our faulty dining room light switch decided it wanted to spontaneously combust at about 5:30 pm on a Thursday evening.  Of course, us being 2 non-handy women, completely freaked out and Yelped electricians ASAP.  

We left messages with a few, but Sal called us back immediately and said he'd be right over.  He knew exactly what was wrong, changed our ridiculous dimmer switch (our building was rehabbed in the late 70s, so we got stuck with a ton of dimmer switches) to a regular one and that was it!  

Personally, I thought the price was pretty fair considering it was last minute and there was virtually no wait time as he was over place less than an hour after we called.  Sal worked fast and was a pleasure to deal with -- no sketchiness detected!  I would recommend Sonar Electrical to anyone.

They are really professional. I need to change the electrical panel and my friend recommended Mike. He came to my house and inspected and told me there is no need to upgrade to the more expensive 200 A panel since there are not many high power equipment. Later to convince the village that there is no need to upgrade, he came again to take photos. The quote he gave me is also very reasonable. And during the day when his staff came to work, Mike also came later to inspect and answer any questions I had. So I really appreciate their service. Both Mike and his staff are really good. The only concern would be that they don't have many people, and might have a lot of work load, so it might take some time to arrange the work date.

Fast response, fair pricing, and professional service. Second time utilizing Jamie from Shock Tech 2 and will continue to do so for any electrical work.

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.

We had a bathroom fan and a ceiling fan that needed to be installed. Al and Andy came in and split up the jobs to get them done faster. Great work and great communication!
