Title says it all.  Don't ever go with a contractor who won't do free estimates.

I called Greg to see if he would be interested in giving me a quote for my project. Unfortunately, Greg was booked and unable to come out in my time frame. He did however ask me to send him photos of my project and talked me through each detailed step I need to take. He even told me to call him back with any questions. What an incredibly nice guy. Customer service like this is non-existent in this era. Thanks again!!!

Lauterborn Electric was great to work with!  They worked with my hectic schedule and were able to get my job done within a week of contacting them. They were on time, completed the job as planned, cleaned up afterwards, and even charged me less than their quoted price! On top of all that, Larry and his son were very personable which made the project fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done.

Excellent Communication! Arrived on time. Job well done. We will use this company again. Thank you.

Out of the blue we had some work that needed done on our home. We reached out to JDV and that same day, we had someone at our house to complete the work. Piro was extremely professional from the beginning, took  the time to thoroughly explain the work that needed done and WHY, all while completing the job in a quick manner. My wife and I both work from home and their was no disruption or distraction to our day while they were at our home.

Will for sure use JDV in the future and will recommend them out to family, friends, and clients of mine.

Thanks again, bravo!!

This is the second time I have used this company and will continue to do so based on their professionalism, quality of service and timeliness. Tony came in to give me a quote and clearly communicated to me a couple of options for installing wiring, a lighting fixture and outdoor outlet in my porch area that had no electrical. Edison and Terry followed up with me, arrived on time for our appointment and had sent me a courtesy reminder the previous day. They assessed the area where the job was to be done when they showed up and got to work. I appreciated their clear explanation of what was being done when they had to make any adjustments during the installation. Everything turned out great and I will be a return customer for future projects!

I've only had my inspection so far but I really recommend this company! A Black owned business with wonderful workers. Maliek was professional, knowledgeable, and super nice. He was able to explain everything to me as a first time homebuyer in a way that made sense. He also went over my home inspection with me and found issues that the inspector didn't. Also I was given two price points to choose from for the work I wanted. Great all around!

I needed some minor electric work done at my house to get a U&O Permit.

While these guys did the work properly and were friendly enough, their rates appear to be made up on the spot, with no breakdown of cost, and are ridiculously high.

They wanted $150 just to put in a panel directory, and charged me $800 for relatively minor electrical work. I didn't know any better, and was just desperate to get the certification at the time, but even the inspector suggested I was ripped off at that rate.

..reply  to buisness response:

I asked for a breakdown of the cost at the time of the estimate, after finding out you guys wanted $150 for the directory, just to find out if there was something else I could take  out to DIY and save money. Your employee told me they don't have that, and it's just a general amount for the work in total.

If I knew you were charging $255 just to change a 20watt breaker to a 15w, I definitely  would have done that myself. Not sure why only after a bad review I'm
getting this breakdown, when I asked for it before.

CJ did an awesome job running new wiring from my panel to a new outlet for a sauna I am installing. He was attentive to detail, clean work, no damage to walls - looks like he was never here. Highly recommend for quality work at good price. Responded to me an completed the job in less than 24hrs from my first outreach.

PG came out to restore power to our doorbell. They replaced the transformer quickly and without issue. They were right on time, professional, and did good work at a good price. Also good communication

I'd call them....amazing. The tech was very professional, knew exactly what to do, and completed the job. The cost was quite reasonable, as well. Our tech, Hector, arrived exactly when we were told. The team at Thomas Edison were really nice and easy to talk with. So, yeah, amazing.

We were very pleased with the work from Alex and his crews.  They did the wiring and installing Tesla wall connector in our garage.  Alex is knowledgeable and meticulous. His work is clean and neat.  We will use his services again in the future.  Highly recommended.

Service was fast and the electrician was knowledgeable and thorough in diagnosing and resolving several wiring issues in my older home.

I was happy with the work done by EP Electric; they were very responsive in December when I needed 2 outdoor outlets replaced. They came within a day of the request sent to several electricians.  While at my house I asked for an estimate to have some switches changed to dimmers. The next time I needed an electrician was to change out some light fixtures. Again, EP Electric was pretty responsive and available in my timeframe. Since I had used them before, I was comfortable having them come out. When that job was complete, I again discussed the dimmers I wanted and we discussed when I wanted to get the work done.  We are working on a schedule for this week and I think it will really add to the ambiance of my house. Looking forward to it.

Rock solid team.  Rod came out for the estimate and we talked through several ideas.  They had no issue with the revising the estimate based on changes we made.  Scheduling was quick.

Stephen and Brandon came for two days worth of work and were excellent to deal with.  They worked well as a team and moved quickly.  They were both very knowledgeable, took excellent care of the house while they worked, and cleaned up very well both days.  They had great attitudes and are full of positivity.

This team will be my new go-to!

I had a great experience with Joel.  We had two separate jobs a week apart.  Both were done very well and he even saved me money with recommendations.  Joel is very pleasant to work with and I would definitely hire him again.

I called this company on a hot summer day when my tenant called me and told me her power went off.  I was running around town with my two kids, so in a hurry I decided to call the first company I saw on yelp. I really wish I had taken more time to look for a more reputable company.

First, be aware that this company has multiple listings for different locations all over the city. If you look at their other listings, you will see the many poor reviews that they have received.

I received multiple phone calls from different people after my initial service request. They repeatedly told me that there is a $165 charge for emergency dispatch, and that once they do an inspection, they will let me know what the cost of the actual work will be. When the technician got to the house, a guy named Steven Miller called me and said he wanted me to pay the dispatch fee upfront before anything is done.  He then sent me an email to get my written authorization to charge the credit card. All of this seemed a bit odd to me... the multiple phone calls, the written authorization, the fee up front... but I didn't think too much of it and just proceeded.

About 10 minutes after I paid for the dispatch fee, Steve calls me back with his technician on the phone to tell me that they have to charge me another fee for the diagnostic. I told them that my understanding was after spending $165 they would be able to tell me what's wrong and give me an estimate on the cost of the work. He then proceeded to repeat everything that he and another one of his employees had already told me over the phone multiple times. I told him that I did not feel comfortable proceeding forward and that I was going to call around to see if other companies have similar practices. He then had his other employee (a woman with a courteous voice) call me to try to reason with me. I told her again that I was going to call around and if this is common practice, then that's fine, but if not then I will be leaving a long review for them.

I got off the phone with the woman and called another local electrician. This man was honest, prompt and straightforward. He came out within half hour and fixed the problem for me under 10 minutes and charged me a third of what Thomas Edison had quoted me for simply coming out and finding out what the problem is (not including any work done).

Needless to say, I will be sticking with my honest electrician from now on. Steve did call me again to tell me that he would not charge me the $165 as a courtesy to make me happy. I thought for a second about not leaving a bad review, but I decided that I cannot let this company get away with unethical practice. This company needs to know that people are not stupid and this kind of bait and switch business practice will only backfire. Simple honesty, trustworthiness and respect for people is the way to go.
