See above. Don also explained how my system works in simple language.
Description of Work: Don from Eicholz Services just solved a huge problem for me....got my electricity back on....as well as a few smaller ones and the $139 service fee is tiny compared to the quality of the work. Last night I came up from the basement and all the power except the basement and an upstairs bathroom was out. I called Eicholz fiirst thing this morning and he was here by two. I had never used this company before so I thought they were especially responsive to a new customer. It's unrelated, but my A/C also quit earlier this week so powering the fans in the house was very important. I have NEVER written a review before but Don was SO professional that I want to commend him. He also found the switch that turns on the fountain in my little pond...it hasn't run in two years. He's coming back in a few weeks to put in some overhead lighting. I'm extremely impressed with this company and especially with Don, their representative. Just making the fountain work saved me hundreds of dollars that I was about to spend with a landscape service to rebuild the pond and fhe pump. I heartily recommend them.

No work was performed due to the estimate issues as above.
Description of Work: I asked for an estimate with this company and the owner came for an estimate. He was very knowledgeable at the time of estimate. He was going to e-mail the numbers to me but never did. I even called over there to make sure they had my correct address and was told it was not in their to do list. Maybe it is best to get the estimate right there and then or have them snail mail it.

Response from Eichholz Services Inc
I bid this at what I saw. The main job was to install a replacement light in the foyer. The foyer is 2 stories open and a beautiful floor. I would have to cover the floor, erect scaffolding to get to the existing light and the question is, how much will the new light weigh . Also did the builder use a plastic box which will only hold a light of a couple lbs. and some foyer fixtures I have installed weigh well over 40 lbs. That is why I included in my bid to take out the old box and install a fan brace box which can support over 75 lbs. This way I know the light will not fall. If I encountered the same situation again, I will bid it the same way for safety.

I chose Dave because of his high ratings and use of email. Interaction with him was pleasant because I hate using the phone. When I received his bid I was not happy because the 2 services added up to more than the kiln (and they are not cheap). I contacted 2 other electricians whose bids were 50% lower, so I am going with one of them. zI know people who have used Dave for other things and think very highly of him.
Description of Work: I needed a 240 volt line installed to handle a large glass kiln in my basement. Dave told me that Don would come to see what was needed. I also wanted to place some 110 volt outlets on my work bench. I already have the outlets on the wall where I can't reach them. Don said that he would leave those in place and place new ones.

He gave a great inspection, provided a lot of excellent information and took his time to check & re-check. However, he missed that the heating plenum was too small for the heater. It took another company and rep who had 30 + years of experience to notice that detail. BUT, other service representatives from other companies missed that problem, also.
Description of Work: We asked for an estimate for installing new heating ducts; he gave a good price but we decided not to proceed with the project.

He was a very nice man and I believe I will use him in the future. I believe he gave me the quote on the 24th and that took about a week, it took a little longer to get the quote. He was very nice and his prices for some things were very reasonable and some were very high. I liked him a lot and I think that probably he would be someone I was to work with, but not for every job. Donald is the owner and he came out. When I called to inquire about the status of the quote, they sent it over within a day. I would get a quote from him again.
Description of Work: Eichholz Services Inc. came out probably around the 24th and gave me an estimate for electrical services.

It went well. The first solution did not work, but the second did. Don responded quickly to both calls and came promptly.
Description of Work: Investigated problem with safety switch outlets in bathroom to determine why they tripped for no apparent reason. Also replaced outdoor outlet, and indoor outlet, checkout switchbox and eventually replaced safety switch to bathroom outlet. The safety switch issue was complicated for it took some time to solve.

He is typically not the cheapest, however value for the money is very worth it. He keeps our house up to code and we have decided to use him exclusively. He has upgraded outlets, maintatined and supported out heater and a/c unti twice a year. He also services our dehumidifier. He installed a battery-operated backup sump system for us. We have a 52 year old house and he has been able to update and add onto our electric system for modern amenities. He lets me ask just about any questions pertaining to the work and we are able to discuss the options.
Description of Work: He has worked on our HVAC system and electrical systems.

Earlier in the day we had a toaster oven malfunction and overheat. When we used that outlet later in the day, we became concerned that maybe the wall outlet had also been compromised. He came very promptly, checked it out, ran several tests and then explained why he thought the wall wiring was okay. He explained options to keep same receptacle or replace it with a GFI (that would meet current code) one. Since this is an older house, we had the new receptacle installed. While he was here, he also checked out our attic fan and determined it had a bad motor. (We did not replace the fan/motor at this time.) Overall, it went fabulous. He was prompt, efficient, knowledgeable and courteous. We would have him again.
Description of Work: Checked receptacle wiring in kitchen, confirmed wiring okay and replacted receptable with GFI receptacle that meets current code. Also, (despite the 90+degree heat) checked out an attic fan that was not working. Explained options for the fan;s bad motor. (We opted to do nothing at this time.)

The entire process was first class. I called and spoke with Don (the owner) and explained to him what I wanted to have done. We agreed on a date and time for him to come to our home. It was less than a week between the initial call and the scheduled walkthru date. Don arrived on time to do the walkthru and view the work in order to provide an estimate. He showed and explained to me exactly what work he way going to do as well as why he was doing certain things. He explained that he would need to shutdown the electrical power to the house for a period of time. He explained the work that would be performed at a later date by Delmarva Power. Don emailed me an estimate within two days. I got comparable pricing from other companies, and although Don didn't have the lowest price, it was competitive and his scope of work was more comprehensive. During the bidding period I had a few questions that I emailed to Dave in the office. He answered all questions in a timely, clear and concise manner. Once I notified Dave that I had selected them to do the work, we scheduled a date (within two weeks) and a start time. Don and his assistance arrived on time and performed the work in a professional manner. All facets of the work are first class including clean up. Additionally, they honored their on-line coupon.
Description of Work: Removed existing 100amp fused electrical service equipment Installed a new 200amp service entrance cable, meter box and hardware (outside) Installed a new 200amp 40-space panel box with main breaker and surface cover Installed new breakers Installed an 8 foot long ground rod outside and grounded the new panel box to the rod Installed a continuous ground wire from the new panel box to the cold water pipe near the water meter Installed a bonding jumper (ground) around the water meter Installed a bonding jumper (ground) between the gas pipe and the water pipe Installed a new GFCI receptacle on a dedicated circuit under the panel box Provided a permit and an electrical inspection

We got prompt, courteous service. Eichholz diagnosed the problem as a loose wire in one of the outlets and re-wired. This had been an outlet that the homeowner had replaced himself. Turns out that a good quality receptacle was used, but not wired in the best way. Some professional advice was given to the homeowner. We were pleased with the service and would call them again.
Description of Work: We called Eichholz (found on Angie's List) because certain outlets/lights in our upstairs were not working after confirming that this was not due to a tripped circuit breaker.

Matt, the electrician, took the entire top part of my lamp post apart, checked all the wiring for rust and/or leaks (it's an old post), found everything to be fairly good (no rust but some wet spots on the inside) and replaced the sensor. And now, it works perfectly.. Concerning the timer, he said that as long as I had already purchased a new one, he'd replace the defective one right then and there on the spot. Now, I'm really annoyed with myself, because for the last 7 years, I've only been able to control the hour portion of the timer, which is a pain, and just like that, in less than 10 minutes,...the entire new one works exactly as it's supposed to. This could have been taken care of years ago!! Oh well, better late than.......
Description of Work: My double lamp post light at the front of my property stopped working. I figured it was probably the light sensor, which has stopped before, so I asked Eichholz to put in a new sensor. At the same time, I mentioned that a hard wired timer controling all the other lights on the front of my home was fine except that the minute portion of it had never worked from the time it was put in. Over time, I purchased another timer, but it was still sitting in my home, since I had never called anyone to replace the defective one.

During our house renovation, we called Eichholz come in to repair and finish up the work of another electrician. Eichholz is fantastic! Matt, our technician, Don, Dave, and Sandy are extremely professional, amiable and knowledgeable. They gave us upfront pricing, and completed the work faster than we scheduled. It has been a pleasure to work with Eichholz, and we are still looking for work to have them do, because we like them so much! I don't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing electrical work.
Description of Work: We had electrical upgrades, new electrical lines installed, bathroom fans installed and a whole house electrical assessment for a single family residence- approximately 2100 SF. They installed lights, both interior and exterior, and gave us suggestions for other interior lighting options that were timely and cost-effective.

These people were great! It is such a pleasure to work with people who obviously know their craft. The amount of work they did was amazing and they completely cleaned up after they were done, both outside and inside. They also came back the next day to check over all outside connections. They initially came on an emergency call from me and were here within a half hour to see why my electric was going on and off. I have been very impressed with their performance! I do not know if their costs were higher or lower than others, I did no comparisons. I wanted the problems fixed and am incredibly pleased with the work they did.
Description of Work: Found why I was having only partial electric within my home by testing all voltage coming into the house. After diagnosing the problem and having local power & light company correct outside lines, this company took out entire old fuse box and all unnecessary connections, put in a large(expandable) circuit breaker system, ran all new lines outside attached to my home, put in & relocated new meter box and ran all new grounds. One person worked in frigid weather outside and in for 10 hours and the boss came and worked for 3 of those 10 hours.
