Connect Electric & Communications

I was very pleased with the honest, open, reliable, professional service that Steve offered. Will definitely use and recommend for future projects.

I'm so glad we found Connect Electric and Steve to update our ancient wiring and put in new light fixtures in the kitchen, foyer and bedroom. Steve is the kind of person who quickly inspires trust and confidence. He's just a really nice guy as well as extremely professional and skilled at his job. He did excellent work, and took care of any little issues that came up along the way. Our place has never looked better. I'm so pleased to wholeheartedly recommend Steve to the community, and would happily call on him again should the need arise.

I have been using Connect Electric for years now and just realized I have not reviewed. Steve has always been dependable, prompt and quite reasonable. We have had him replace numerous light fixtures (both indoor and outdoor) and troubleshoot a number of electrical issues that come with owning a house that is over 80 years old. We have always been satisfied with the services provided. Steve is also quite conscientious and trustworthy. Never had any issue with leaving him in the house to get the job done.

Steve was punctual honest and very detailed.
Did an excellent job installing motion Lightinq and outdoor outlets.
Highly recommend!

Great work from Steven! He was here within an hour and a half of my call, on a Sunday! I had an outlet replaced and the whole process took about 15 to 20 minutes. He even guaranteed the work with a two year warranty as well! I would definitely recommend this service to others! Thank you!

My wife and I came across Connect Electric not through a referral, but just by searching through Yelp.  What a good call on using this company.

We initially met Steve to go over changes we wanted for our recently purchased co-op apartment.  We had a lot of work done right off the bat. Steve installed recessed lights in the kitchen, living room and master bedroom.  We also had him replace the breaker box and install a small chandelier in the dining room.  It was a lot of work and it went perfect.  Of all the contractors we had in our apartment, Steve's work was the best, by far.

When we had the recessed lights installed, Steve worked with me when I suggested going with Smart Lighting.  He pointed out some helpful ideas.  Some I followed and some I did not.  Guess what?  The ones I didn't follow I later came to regret and had to change a couple of switches I had installed.  I should have listened to him the first time! :-)

We've had Steve come in twice more after that initial work.  The second time was for some bathroom lighting fixtures and the third was to install under cabinet lighting in the Kitchen.  Once again, me being the bright guy, I go and purchase the units I wanted installed in the kitchen because they had the features I wanted and were on sale at Lowe's.  Guess what!?!  Wrong units.  Oh joy. :-(  But it still wasn't a problem for Steve. He went out, found better units than I had purchased, at a lower cost, and installed them all in the same day.  Wife was VERY pleased.

Think I'll be using Connect Electric again?  Safe bet.  Steve's a total professional and a damn nice guy on top of that.  I'd recommend him and Connect Electric in a heartbeat.

I initially called Steve to restore my kitchen lights, he very thoroughly checked everything before making a diagnosis of the problem. He couldn't install any lights because I needed new ones which he was great about coming back to install. I am very picky and the ones I picked were too bright, I exchanged them and Steve came back to put those in.

I wanted to also out replace lights in my bedroom. I ended up changing my mind on the first ones I picked and we had to change appointments. Steve was extremely patient and when he came back he let me know that the lights I picked actually created more work for me. (I would have had to patch holes in the ceiling) He thoughtfully went to Home Depot and brought me two styles of lights-one of which involved little to no patching.

Steve is very neat, fair and great to work with. Btw-longest review ever written by me....

I emailed Steve for an estimate to remove a light/fan and replace it with large flushmount LED fixture. Less then an hour later, I got a callback from him with a fair estimate. He was available to do the work the next day (Saturday) and showed up at 810am, exactly when he said he would. He finished the work quickly and efficiently, cleaning up after himself and not requiring any hand holding. It is always great to work with a professional and I know I will be calling him again for more work around the house. Highly recommended!!!

Update on 6/18/16:  I had Steve come back in to replace an old thermostat with a new programmable thermostat and also to install a new combo fan/light in the dining room area. The work was completed quickly and professionally and at a very fair price.

Steve did a small project for me. He arrived on time, was clean, efficient and reasonably priced (exactly what he quoted).

When discussing the quote, he even offered an alternate solution to what I was requesting which could save me some bucks. I will definitely use Connect again if the news arises.

Steve was a complete professional and was very quick with his work.  He was reasonably priced and installed our recessed lights and pendant light in our apartment in 1 days worth of work.  I would recommend him for any electric job you might have.  Thanks again!

Steve is great. He came out and did a full review of my house before giving me pricing to ensure that he knew what he was getting himself into. He showed up on time for the initial review and then for the appointment itself. He worked diligently and without making any sort of mess, charging me exactly what he said he would and finishing within the time frame he had originally provided. Not only that, when compared to some other folks I got quotes from, he was always very reasonably priced.

5+ star rating. New to the area, we did not have an electrician. After spending days in the dark after the power outage caused by the nor'easter I found Connect Electric on yelp. I contacted Steve and was able to come quickly to hook my portable generator up to my house so we could have heat and power though today's snow storm. Steve is professional and thorough. I appreciated him helping us out and his upfront pricing was reasonable and appreciated. He went out of his way to get us hooked up properly. Thank you Steve!

Steve and Connect Electric have always provided appropriate solutions to projects that we have and they always price accordingly. It is a real pleasure to work with Connect Electric and I do not have to worry about the Quality of work, nor outrageous pricing. They are my go to solution for all electrical.

Steve from Connect Electric is a pleasure to work with. He is very reliable and does the work he says he will. He always provides me with a quote for work up front and sticks to his pricing. He has installed fixtures and new wiring for me in my old tudor, I will definitely be working with him again. His work is careful and he provides helpful ideas including placement of fixtures and outlets. He troubleshooted and repaired a problem in my house that kept tripping the circuit and it works perfectly now. He cleans up everything to be in better condition than when he started! I wish all service men were like Steve. He is knowledgeable and licensed and insured.

My aunt had an electrical issue, so we called Steve from Connect Electric: he was awesome! So professional, so kind and such a pleasure deal with---it takes an excellent service for me to positively Yelp someone while on vacation, so this review speaks for itself. Thanks for a great job and making my stay more pleasant.

Steve was awesome! Professional, courteous and clean!  always on time.  Reliable, Experienced and Affordable, Licensed & Insured!   He completed all electrical services to my complete satisfaction.  I would definately call him again.

My wife and I found Steve through the below, consistent reviews.  We have used him for all of our electric needs, including recessed lighting, fixture swaps and landscape lighting.  Steve has provided high quality service over the past two years and I have been very impressed by his desire to ensure the customer is happy with the results (offering suggestions, setting up temporary fixtures and following-up).  Highly recommended.

This is one of the best vendors I've worked with in Westchester County. Knowledgable, responsive, fair-priced, highly professional, decent. You can't get a better electrician than Connect Electric.

We found Steve on Yelp and picked him based on the reviews. We are so happy we did. Steve is honest, caring, and thorough. He arrived on time, reviewed everything with us before he did any work, made sure that we were satisfied with the work, and he cleaned up very nicely so you couldn't even tell work was done.  We are so happy with the lights he installed in our kitchen and living room.  I highly recommend Steve for your electrical needs.  Great guy and excellent work!

I needed a 240V outlet installed in my home for a dryer unit I planned to purchase. I submitted a request for quotes electronically via the better business bureau & home advisor providing details of the project. I immediately received a few calls from electricians showing interest in taking on the job yet none of them would give me a quote unless they made a visit to my home to see what physically had to be done. I found it strange because I gave them the basic info. needed regarding the panel location + location of where I'd prefer the outlet which I felt would make it easy to give an estimate. But they were hesitant. So I had one of these guys come over to take a look where he then gave an estimate which I felt was way overpriced. That's when I searched yelp & saw Connect Electric's reviews. I called Steve & he gave me a quote (OVER THE PHONE) based on the information I provided which was half of what the other guy quoted. He said a visit would be required to give an exact price but assured me that I was looking @ the price he quoted over the phone give or take a few bucks. He made the visit, assessed the project & gave me the exact price which was $25 more than the estimate due to the labor involved. I hired him on the spot. He showed up the next day on time. (When he says he's going to be a your place @ 9:00AM, he actually means it). He came in, went to work, kept me updated on the progress while explaining things as he went along. As he's working on the line connection he asks me what my plans were for ventilation. I hadn't even considered this prior to him mentioning it. He offered solutions where he later made a run to home depot to grab materials to install a ventilation system @ a very reasonable price. He completed the job, cleaned up his work area to the point where you couldn't even tell that someone was there all day drilling, taking things apart & wiring lines throughout the place. He sent me a receipt & warranty on the project the next morning ensuring me that if anything went wrong he'd come back to resolve it free of charge! He contacted me days later to check in on the installation of the dryer itself which I told him was successful. The overall experience with Connect Electric has been amazing & i'm glad that I was able to use their services. I plan on hiring Steve & co. in the future as I'll have more projects to take on.

Steve Villani of Connect Electric is superb. We talked to a number of electricians before settling on him. No one else came close in terms of taking the time to explain the work to us and giving us various options. He prepared a detailed estimate the next day and when we hired him, he stuck to it scrupulously. His work is top-notch and he is remarkably conscientious. For example, he installed two sconces on our stone fireplace. They looked good to me, but he insisted they would look better with mortar, so at no extra charge to us, he bought mortar and carefully filled in the gaps. As far as I can tell, he is a perfectionist and has a great work ethic. I would happily hire him for future projects.
