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!

Called Tony around 2:00 pm and told him the outlet in the kitchen was out and the heater wasn't working.  Tony said he would arrive at 5:00 which he did.  Tony fixed both issues within 30 minutes and he was very nice and funny.  Great job

Thanks

I scheduled Excel to come over and replace my doorbell transformer, change our two outdoor lights to motion detector lights, and replace a light fixture in backyard with the exact same brand and stock item because the rust had made it impossible to change the lights on the old one. The fellow arrived with a doorbell transformer that did not fit my description that I gave their office, so he got on the phone with his boss for 10 min, and he figured out the one he had would also work (it does seem to work although it's not the one I requested from Excel that ADT recommended for their Ring doorbell so I guess stay posted whether ADT thinks it's the right one when they come back out). Then, on to the front lights. I thought they were making the existing lights motion lights or even lights that go on at night (putting them on a timer). He gets on the phone again with his boss for 10 min and offers to go out to buy lights, but I like the look of my existing ones, and I don't want to pay for an electrician's time buying lights. I guess they thought I had bought new lights to install. So, we decide to forget that job. He, then, replaced the outside back light with same kind. Total for job? $390. Hmmm...seems a bit high to me. Transformer costs $10-25.00 so that was his only part. He was not here more than 90 min and some of that was phone time with boss. If he's confused about a job, I should not be paying for his time on the phone. I think about the time it took for the two items, and it should have been more like $200-total, not $400. I felt cheated which is too bad--first time this company came out, around 8 years ago, I thought they were amazing. I actually kept their contact information for 8 yrs....but not anymore.

I recently bought a new home and needed to re-wire some of the work done by the last owner as well as install some outdoor lighting. They were informative, professional, and fairly priced. They gave me a complimentary inspection in light of the issues they noticed. It worked out in the end and I'm very satisfied.

True Power Electric was referred to me by a well known and established window and shade company in Chicago.  The work I had performed included electrical rewiring, addition/relocation of outlets, installation of track and other lights with dimmers.  True Power Electric is knowledgeable, has great technical workmanship and excellent customer service (and, is neat).  Would recommend and use again.

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

The electricity on the second floor of my condo was on the fritz, every electrician/handyman I called required $50-150 to come out and give an estimate telling me the earliest they could come was later in the week. I called John who told me he could be there in two hours to provide a free estimate and diagnostic. He came less than 120 minutes later assessed the problem and gave me the estimate saying he wouldn't charge anything more. He not only fixed the problem, but then took time to verify existing surround sound on another floor was still working properly for free. Highly recommend his work.

Scheduled an appointment in Mid July for a consultation and estimate to have my HVAC replaced.   Sales consultant came and spent significant time in my home evaluating my current system and needs.   I actually really like him and he seemed knowledgeable.  
Waited for 2 weeks and never received an estimate. I called malek to inquire and was told the sales guy knew I wasn't going to do anything until the fall and he was working on an estimate.  One month later, still no estimate, no proposal, no phone call.   Gee guess my business isn't a priority.  Very confusing indeed!

Vlad gave me a reasonable quote for changing out a 220v electric service to a 110v service and installing a 20amp outlet on a dedicated line to service a gas cooktop.  He was able to perform the work the following day.  He arrived exactly on schedule and was neat and efficient in performing the work.  I would definitely call on Vlad for any electrical work I need done in the future.

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.

I highly recommend In Town Electric for quality professional work at a reasonable cost. I recently wanted to upgrade my 2 service panels and other various outlets and fixtures. All the work was done professionally on schedule and on budget. The final invoice matched the quote so there are no $ surprises at the end.  This is my second time using In Town and I will definitely use them again if the need arises. They are very responsible and reliable.

We needed an EV charger installed in our garage and Patterson Electrical Service was a great experience! Everyone on the project was very responsive and helpful. The work was done quickly and matched the estimate given. Overall, fantastic experience! Will definitely use them again for any future electrical projects we need done around the house.

I was looking for a local electrician.  Sal got back with me super quick.  He was scheduled to come in on Saturday morning to fix a number of blown outlets in my tenant's unit.  He actually was able to come early and had everything fixed super quick.  I definitely recommend him.

My bf and I used Corrigan and Freres for whole house rewiring, replacing  the electric panel, adding outlets, adding a ceiling fan, etc.  They did a great job!  Mike Corrigan, the owner, gave us clear quotes that allowed us to pick and choose what we wanted done.  He got the permit for the work and it passed inspection.  Ron and Oliver were our electricians, who each have decades of experience.  Their work was neat and done in a timely manner.  My boyfriend works from home, so scheduling wasn't a problem for us.    We recommend Corrigan and Freres.   :-)

Jaime got us in same-day for an issue with our 220v outlet in our laundry room. It took him all of 10 minutes to diagnose the issue and another 30 to fix it.

We will definitely be using Jaime with Shock Tech 2 for all of our electrical needs!

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.

When other handymen refused to work on my job, Rob stepped up with his crew to get it done.  Alex was great when he showed up and got things done quickly.

I would recommend them and use them again.
