After failing SEVERAL times to find an electrician who could figure out our existing high voltage outdoor lighting system and switch us over to low voltage, we FINALLY landed on Pace. A GODSEND!! Peter is perfection~unbelievably knowledgeable about every aspect in his field. His motto is "Anything is possible and doable". He lent us sample lights (for a month!) so we could ponder brightness/placement, etc. He repeatedly encouraged us to start out minimally (another of his mottoes "You can always add more fixtures"). He is courteous to the max, responds quickly to queries, and is a very punctual, organized and tidy worker. He's extremely well versed in the newest technology. And it's so lovely that he works with his dad--who's also a highly experienced electrician. For what he provides his prices are very reasonable~AND he guarantees that all of our instruments and light bulbs are guaranteed for LIFE! He made us PROMISE (no exaggeration) to call him if ANYTHING goes wrong and he'll come and fix the problem at no charge. He is professionalism personified, and we are counting our lucky stars that we found him. We HIGHLY recommend him!!!!!!

Peter and and his assistant, Peter, worked the issue and come to find out, it was just some loose wiring. They looked over all the outlets connected to the GFI and replaced one wire at the GFI. Both men were conscious of social distancing by wearing masks. Peter explained how the wiring worked between all the outlets and what possibly happened. Very courteous and professional!

Well, after being the only electrician willing to come to my home on a weekend to give an on-site estimate, I couldn't hire Peter but it was certainly not for any lack of professionalism. In fact, thanks to his tremendous expertise and awareness of height restrictions between the carpet and the ceiling, he unfortunately had to tell me he couldn't proceed with the project because the fan would have been too low and the blades could have possibly injured a tall guest or family member. I hadn't even realized that beforehand, and had I hired someone like a handyman who couldn't have cared less, I might have had a serious problem. Don't look any further than Pace Electric for your electrical needs! I couldn't hire Peter, but you certainly should! You will be hiring the best of the best in someone looks out for you and will be honest and forthright!!

The work went smoothly, quickly and perfectly! Because I am vision impaired in my left eye, I needed Pace to work with me to not only light the room evenly for general use, but to also create a separately lit area within it where I read and play piano. Pace created 2 lighting zones controlled by separate switches. I had no idea how many lights I would need for both requirements but Pace said 8 lights would be optimal, and the illumination turned out to be perfect! I knew nothing about the fixtures available for the purpose, but Pace chose ones with both thermal and moisture cutoffs for safety, and that (with their LEDs) for aesthetics had configurable "colors" with respect to the lighting. We worked together over a week to pick out the level of "warmth" that I preferred for the lighting color, and they made adjustments as I asked them to. With all of this done, in tandem with the modern dimmer switches they installed, I am ecstatic about how my living space has been transformed, and how with my being vision-challenged, my life has been made so much easier. The great benefit of Pace is that they not only have spot-on technical experience as electricians, but that they also have the talent to provide solutions from a design perspective. I also guarantee that you will never meet people that are more accommodating and pleasant to deal with than the Kaminskis.

I called Pace when I discovered water in my basement and a dead electric line servicing about a third of my home. Peter called back within the hour, arranged to come investigate. He quickly identified a short in my sump pump, restored the electric line, coordinated with my plumber for next-day installation of new sump pump. The new receptacle is in a safer location and will provide me with a heads-up alarm if/when the new sump pump fails, hopefully eliminating another water-in-basement event. Peter is knowledgeable, professional, thorough. It was a pleasure doing business with someone like him. I highly recommend him and I will definitely hire Pace again for other electrical projects.

Absolutely great! These guys were amazing. I had a complete mess of wires in my home (photo before and after below) and they were able to come out in a timely manner and clean it up way beyond my expectations. They were on time, very professional and explained in detail of the work they completed. Pace also noticed other issues in my home that were wired incorrectly and fixed that up as well at little to no extra cost. I know feel safe in my home after having a near electrical fire due to incorrect wiring someone without a license had done. I canāt say enough good things about this company there is a reason they have all āAā reviews. They have more than fair prices and are a good honest company. They answered all of my hundreds of annoying questions without hesitation. You will not go wrong by choosing them. Definitely recommend. A+++ in my opinion!

PACE was the absolute best! They came on time, worked professionally and told me that they would support their work. Well, the motion sensor lights/sensors needed to be repositioned and they told me not to get up on a ladder -- they would come and readjust. And the day after I called them, they did so. I have lived with their work for almost 2 months now and it is flawless. These are lovely people and true professionals, and I would hire them again and again!

Peter, Jr. returned my initial phone call the same day and and arranged a date and time to do an estimate within 2 days. The work was scheduled to be done a week later and he and Peter, Sr. arrived on the dot. Both father and son were polite, extremely professional, and very conscientious about preventing any undo messes and cleaning up when the work was done. Peter, Jr also explained what they were doing as they progressed. The fans work beautifully and look great. I would definitely call Pace for any future electrical services I may need.

When I contacted Peter via email, he responded within a few hours and we set up time when he could stop by at my house and estimate scope of work for the job. He was on time, and reviewed the current wiring and amount of work needed to run additional wires to the Zone 2 thermostat and rewire the panel. He was able to provide a verbal quote on the spot which he confirmed later that same night in writing. We scheduled the time for the job and again, he was on time ready for work. He needed extra time to complete the job without rushing, and in order to not jeopardize another appointment, he apologized and offered to come in a few days to complete the job. It took more time than he initially estimated but he was a man of his word and did not charge me for extra two-plus hours of work. After each visit he left the job site clean and my air conditioner in working order so we would not suffer at 90 degrees heat. Peter spend time helping me setup new Wi-Fi thermostat and explained how it works - always patient and courteous. Peter is very attentive to details and always tries to deliver the best results. It is a second time I hired Peter for electrical job and I am sure it will not be the last.
Description of Work: I hired Peter to replace a Honeywell Mastertrol Mini-Zone 2 Zone control panel with the Honeywell HZ311 Trol-A-Temp controller, so I can use modern thermostats which require R, W, Y, G and C wires, as well as to install two new thermostats to replace the old ones. Before the panel replacement I had R, W, Y, G, B and O wires for Zone 1 thermostat (no C wire for power) and R, W, Y for Zone 2 thermostat (heat only).

Pace responded quickly to our late evening call, diagnosed the problem, and restored power. Pace did not have the parts immediately on-hand to repair the generator, but disabled the generator to permit available utility power to temporarily bypass the generator circuitry. Pace advised that Pace could order the parts and perform the generator repair in the coming days if we so requested, but that we should have this work done by someone in any case. Service was very professional and prompt. We would definitely hire Pace for other work and recommend Pace to others.
Description of Work: Our home had lost electrical power in the late evening during deep freeze weather. The problem turned out to actually be within the circuitry for our backup on-demand generator, though generator service was not needed because normal line power was available from the electric utility.

Exceptionally well! Peter III did an outstanding job. All junction boxes were in the eaves of the attic (not an easy location.) Peter worked tirelessly for 11 hours in what was less than comfortable space. Nevertheless, he completed the job with the utmost professionalism and excellence. Superior workmanship--Peter took photos/video of before and after. He took the time after the job was completed to sit down and go over with me all that he had done in detail with patience to answer my questions, as well. I am very impressed with how everything turned out. I feel much, much safer in my home now. Also, he saved me the expense of having to replace certain materials because it turned out not to be necessary after all. Therefore, the final cost came in under the estimate. If I could rate the work A+ on the Angie's list, I would! Thank-you Peter!!
Description of Work: Complete updating of original attic wiring (house was built in 1964.) 22 junction boxes had to be updated as well as proper stationing of all wires.

It went great! The Kaminski team divided up the work and it was completed in a timely and professional manner. I have used Pace Electric in the past to hook up a new heater/ventilation unit in the bathroom. Again, the skillfulness and knowledge this team brings is everything you want. They can diagnose and solve any problem. If its done by Pace Electric, I assure you, its done right and you can have peace of mind; never having to worry about it again.

Peter did a terrific job each time he was hired. He was responsive in emails, phone calls and showed up right on time. After Peter completed the work, he showed me the work that was done and explained things in a thorough but understandable manner. I'm very happy I went with a professional and honest electrician.
Description of Work: Pace Electric was hired multiple times because Peter was terrific to work with. He was responsive, professional and gave a fair price for his work. I purchased a a new stove and the outlet needed to be updated. I also had a dishwasher installed by PC Richard and son but there was additional electrical work that needed to be done in order for it to work which Pace Electric completed.

The project was delayed because of my electric company UI. They caused the delay in my project. However once they did what they was supposed to do, Pace Electric was on point and completed the project. And might I add, I didn't have to pay as much as I thought. Lovely! I will definitely use them again, and again, and again. On to the next project.
Description of Work: I had a roof install halted because there were power lines obstructing the project. Received 3 quotes, all but one was reasonable and that was Pace Electrical. They had to move the power lines away from the house and up to code.

Peter Kaminski III is an excellent electrician--following in his father, Peter's, footsteps without a doubt! They are an outstanding team of electricians. They are meticulous, diligent, intelligent, efficient, responsible, conscientious, careful, trustworthy, fair, tidy, professional. I highly recommend Pace for any and all electrical work to be done. They have done a tremendous amount of work for me over the years. This includes: All electrical needs for the complete installation of central air conditioning They worked tirelessly in the attic during one of the hottest July's on record in the NorthEast! A thorough and complete update of basement electrical needs to bring everything up to code (including several brand new receptacles and 18 LED light fixtures installed) Remote control of ceiling fan Several LED Closet lights with door hinge-switches Many dimmer switches and changeover to LED can-lights throughout house New receptacles throughout kitchen and all bathrooms to update to code Installed two bathroom vents (having to work in attic crawl space that is very small and yet doing an impeccable job!) Addition of receptacles with USB ports
Description of Work: Recently: Replaced two old ceiling light fixtures with new, higher-end fixtures. Warm glow LED light bulbs with dimmers included in the work done. Installed a NetGear Wifi Extender. Works very well!

Very well, I wouldn't hesitate to call them when I am ready to do the work he suggested.
Description of Work: Luckily, it turned out he just had to flip the circuit breaker harder than I had done it. But I thought I might need a new circuit breaker or something. Anyway, I called them in the morning and they returned my call quite soon, and came to my house soon after. He was nice enough to not charge me, but explained about some work I should have done at some point and gave me an estimate of the price. I would certainly call them again. I was very impressed with the way they handled my problem , considering that it was the first time I contacted them and they didn't know me.
