So, about two weeks ago I found a leak in my kitchen, and as a result, had to get several panels of hardwood floor removed to expose the subfloor and let it dry out. The roaches were not on board with this plan and decided that if their home was gonna be destroyed, they'd move in with me. After a week of chasing them around with can of Raid, I decided to purchase some professional grade stuff that I can spray directly into the crevices of the exposed subfloor. I'm scheduled to get new flooring put down tomorrow so today was my last chance to contain the problem.
A minute or so into admiring the precision with with which I was able to apply this life saving (or life ending if you're a bug) solution of insecticide, a huge spark launches out of from somewhere on the floor -- nearly giving me a heart attack -- and I see the green light of the outlet I'm standing next to go dim. I check my circuit breaker panel and did not notice any circuits that had flicked off. I tried turning some of them on/off anyway, but to no avail. I frantically signup for Angie's list, and begin calling every licensed electrician in my area hoping that someone is able to come in today since tomorrow at 8:30am: new floor. It was a BIG spark, and I can't enjoy my floor if I die in a fire (or the guys who are installing it do).
As I made my way down the list of highly rated electricians provided to me by Angie's List, I eventually end up calling Solomon and explained the situation to him. I was immediately grateful that he understood what had happened wasn't an emergency per se, but it was an emergency to me -- I WANT MY FLOOR BACK. He asks me to text him as many pictures as possible so he can assess the situation. I do, and less than 5 minutes later, he calls me back, and dare I say sounds happy.
Apparently what happened to me is relatively common as the wiring for GTCI outlets (the ones that have reset & test buttons) is very sensitive and didn't appreciate me spraying aerosol insecticide in its vicinity. Solomon instructed me to take another look at my circuit breaker panel. Turns out that I had reset the incorrect breaker (stupid illegible labels), and there actually was one that was not in the off position, but wasn't exactly in the on position either. I flipped it back on and problem solved.
Considering that I was ready to shell out a chunk of cash (that I don't have) to get someone to my apartment ASAP, and also knowing that the chances of even getting that to happen were slim, to say that I am thankful is an understatement, hence this review. So, no, Solomon did not actually physically fix my problem, instead he assessed, diagnosed, and fixed the problem all remotely, and for free at that. Although I never hope to again be in the market for an electrician, at least I know who to call if I ever get another I almost started an electrical fire heart attack.

A great resource for your electrical needs. We worked with Sein Me on the installation of 4 ceiling lights in our hallway. Prompt and professional interaction the entire time. We will use again!

The best electricians in New Jersey! Jason and his brother Stephen are wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend them to my family & friends because the impeccable electrical work they do will keep my family safe. Their quality of work gives me peace of mind, and that is priceless. They are very professional and a pleasure to work with!! I would definitely hire them again!!

As many others mentioned, these contractors are professional, efficient, clean and friendly. They arrived on time, put down a tarp to protect our wooden floors, and cleaned up the limited mess they made. They completed two major installations in six hours.
They installed marquis lights, patched up the previous outlets with spackle, and connected them to new outlets. Mike may be somewhat somewhat difficult to get a hold of, but it's worth the effort to be persistent. Definitely would hire again.

I had an excellent experience with Omeshwar. He was very professional and did a great job installing a number of dimmers throughout my house. There were a couple complicated issues that arose during the install, and Omeshwar handled them like a pro. He was also a pleasure to work with, was great at communicating, and was reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back to him in the future!

My husband and I needed an electrician to provide an electrical upgrade quote during our final walkthrough. We did an internet search and really liked the reviews left for No Shorts Electric. I made an appointment with Mike over the phone and he was able to meet us early in the morning. During his inspection he provided us with a detailed plan on what was needed and what could be done with our home and garage. After receiving the estimate we proceeded to setup a date to have the work done. I was worried that it would take a few days, but Mike brought a whole team to knock the job out within a day. We are very satisfied with the work of his team and would recommend them to anyone in need of an electrician.

We had a ceiling fan installed on our high ceiling-- and couldn't be happier we went with Xpert Electric. After dealing with a recommended electrician who wouldn't even return phone calls to schedule an initial consultation-- I had gotten frustrated and turned to Yelp. Found Xpert and Submitted the job request. Within 2 hours I had been contacted by Kim. Her level of customer service was above and beyond. Especially now a days. Henry and Jake arrived at the expected time slot and were very professional. They referenced a standard pricing book so you don't feel like the pricing is made up. They even needed an unexpected part as they started working and that was no problem since they come with a parts van. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you for your services!!

Jaime did a great job installing our ceiling fans. He was very responsive from the first call, coming over same-day to assess the job. Weekend hours and quick to respond, worked with us to find a reasonable price.

They have us a very good price. They came same day. They had the part in stock. They were flexible. They fixed the issue. The price was very reasonable especially for same day. We strongly recommend them.

We needed a dedicated line installed for a new refrigerator and new wiring for our central air conditioner. Daniel and his guys did such an incredible job that we had them come back to set up our new outdoor lighting. They are very professional, efficient and respectful of property. Everything was cleaned up; no mess was found anywhere. The new lights were done to our exact specifications; we couldn't be happier. If you need electrical work done, they are the guys to call.

I've used Gambi multiple times for different jobs and have always been satisfied. Super responsive, punctual, professional and do quality work. They hung seven ceiling fans / lights that are smart (Haiku fans), installed Nelson bubble lamp fight fixtures, hung a Nest Outdoor Cam and fixed another electricians job in hanging outdoor flood lights. I plan to use them again / exclusively.

Hired rob to rewire my attic had some damage before from a short that went wrong, he was fair with the price and quality workmanship.

Ciro was professional and on time to fix a leak under my bathroom sink. He had to replace a valve which was hard to find but he did and returned to do a great job. He also replaced my front door lock and spent some time cleaning out my dryer vent which was very hard to get to. I was quite horrified to see what came out of there! His assistant was helpful and polite. I am so happy to have found a great handyman who is capable. When you live in an old house there is always something needing fixing. I put it off because dealing with flaky people isn't fun. I highly recommend booking him for any job! Thumbs up.

Very happy to find an electrician who is thoughtful, and knowledgeable!
From my first call through the completion of finding a wire that caused a short and fixing it, I felt comfortable. Rocco arrived at the time designated and went right to work on solving this 1st time in 39 year short that didn't trigger a circuit breaker but did cut all the lights in 3 rooms! He was informative and creative in finding and fixing the problem and the solution. Seems like an overall great company that I will definitely use in the future.

Avoid at all costs. I asked the guy (Jeff Brausewetter) to install a 220v outlet for a new dryer and he said he needed to put in a new breaker box. I paid for it, and he came and installed it; he told me he was almost done but just needed to get the part for the outlet. Then he stopped answering the phone or replying to my texts. Finally he replied saying that he had been locked out of his phone and would sort me out, but after that he became unresponsive at the new number too. Finally I had another electrician out (Riviera Electric, recommended). He explained that (i) Jeff's breaker box was completely useless, and (ii) he hadn't actually done anything except for screwing the box onto the wall - no wiring or anything. So, I'm out over $300 with nothing to show for it except for a useless breaker box that I'm going to have to throw away. BEWARE!
