Great! He saved me in the middle of a heat wave with very little notice by fixing the outlets supporting my window ac units. (And for a great price.) I've actually already had him come back out to look at another job I'd like him to do. Reliable, on time, responsive, professional.

We learned about Bill Kachnowski through "word of mouth" as well as reviews on Angie's list. We found Bill to be very professional and very competent...We are very pleased with the work he did. This is the first time we used him, but he is now our go to electrician as needs arise. We would highly recommend him to neighbors and friends.

Bill was recommended to us by a family member and we are very happy they gave us his name. He was very responsive to the initial contact made and came out almost immediately to quote the job we had. He was very honest in saying that part of the job we thought we needed done was not necessary. Bill scheduled our job a couple of weeks in advance and confirmed a day or two before he was to begin. He arrived on time for the 2 days he worked at our house and was extremely neat and professional. He has asked to be in contact for future questions and clearly has a passion for his career and his workmanship. We would highly recommend Bill to anyone looking for electrical work.
Description of Work: Bill replaced a breaker panel as well as installed a mechanical interlock bracket and necessary wiring for a 30 amp portable generator.

This was not easy problem, and someone without Mr. K's problem skills and smarts might have given up or gouged me. Very impressed with his skills and diligence. Very professional, neat and organized. Best of all, I've now found an honest electrician that I will gladly refer others to. Thanks for a great job.

I hired Bill to replace my old small 100 AMP electric panel with a new bigger 100 AMP. From beginning of our initial contact to do the job...up-to the end of the project, Bill was true to his word and estimate. He arranged for all permits, and performed his job in a courteous and professional manner. I will hire him again for future projects.

Bill is very professional; he is timely, neat, organized, and thorough. As important as his high-quality work was to us, we also valued his interest in getting things just as we wanted them. He made sure that we had the correct placement of switches, lights, and outlets, always checking with both of us to insure we were satisfied. Throughout the process, Bill was a pleasure to work with-- one of the best in any trade we've ever used.
Description of Work: Bill did all the electrical work for a kitchen, washer/dryer room, and dining room.

Bill showed up as promised on time. He did an excellent job figuring out how to mount these fans since they had to go in specific spots on the ceiling due to already existing fixtures arrangement. Also, it was challenging because the fans' mounting configuration was mostly suitable for new construction bathrooms. While he was in attic he pointed out that my dryer's exhaust hose was squashed. He went out of his way and fixed the problem with an adapter. Very professional and courteous service.

Bill was excellent! Highly recommend. He replied quickly to our email inquiry and was able to meet our schedule. These repairs were found during a home inspection and we need to remediate quickly. Bill arrived as schedule, quickly performed work, and was very reasonably price. We will use him for any electrical issues.

Very well. William arrived on time, brought in his own ladder, was organized, and went out of his way to install this light in just one day. The ceiling fan itself presented unforeseen issues with installation. We learned we had to get a larger light fixture to cover the original opening in the ceiling. William was patient, worked with the store I bought the light from to get the right size. He ended up coming out to my home three different times on the same day to make sure the project was completed. He was also reasonably priced. I highly recommend him to others.

Punctual, accommodating, polite and competent. What more could you ask from a tradesman? The job was to hook up the electricity to a new gas fireplace installation and while he was here, he also replaced a balky outlet in the kitchen. Very pleased with the work.

Bill did great work. He was quick to come out and walk around with me to make sure he understood the job. He provided a quote quickly and scheduled the work so that it coincided with the well company that was performing the plumbing part of the project. He work was meticulous. I have been very pleased with the work that Bill performed and would have him back for future work that I need.
Description of Work: I asked Bill to perform the electrical work associated with moving my well tank from one side of my basement to the other along with a short punch list of small jobs - like installing outlets.

There should be an A plus, plus category!, Bill set up the generator, hardwired it and after he installed it, he came back on a Saturday to walk us through the process and the safety rules of running it. He made sure we understood every facet of using the generator before he left. He was very patient with all of our questions. Very trustworthy and just a great guy. The entire cost was extremely reasonable and more than fair.

Bill was very prompt and met the schedule we set. He brought the fixtures with him so I did not need to do any sourcing or shopping myself for them He took care to work as cleanly as possible and cleared everything when done. The new fixtures are a great improvement. Not only do they work better but they look better also. Bill was very personable and I felt comfortable working with him.
Description of Work: I have six pot lights in my kitchen. Over the course of a few months 4 of them went out and it was not the bulbs burning out. Bill identified the problem and we both agreed the solution was to replace all six with better fixtures and change the switch to a dimmer-type switch. Bill recommended which fixtures to use and replaced all of them.

I contacted several electricians about the work I wanted done, and Bill was by far the only one both my husband and I felt comfortable with. While his estimate was actually higher than other electricians, I believe he understood the true nature of the job and the amount of labor that would be required. When Bill came to our house to complete the work, he was incredibly polite and careful about putting his wet shoes and (potentially) dirty toolbox on a drop cloth, rather than my floor. We plan on refinishing our basement in the future, and Bill will definitely be the electritian we call. It feels wonderful to have found an electrician we like and trust!
Description of Work: Added lights to two closets and added rotary fan switches to two walls.
