When I called this provider it was late Sunday afternoon. I described the issue I was having and although he indicated the problem was outside his area of service (circuit panel installation/replacement) he stayed on the phone with me helping to diagnose a GFI circuit issue. He was very helpful diagnosing the problem and said he had no problem staying on the line while I checked the series of GFIs that were linked throughout the house. Great personality and very helpful. If I had a circuit panel issue I would definitely use Essex to resolve the problem.

He came out on the holiday, didn’t charge me time and a half. Did a great job. Was not able to fix it all on the same day, because he needed an additional part. He did have it temporarily working, but then came back and made sure it worked correctly.
Description of Work: Some of the lights in the parking lot were out. He had to come out and do some work and maintenance on the breaker.

The estimate we received from Essex Electrical Service Inc. was fair and appropriate. I don't doubt that Essex was capable of doing the job. He was prompt with his response and with getting the estimate back to us. We ended up using somebody else because my husband knew somebody else as a friend who did the work. I would have chosen Essex. I don't have anything negative to say about him. He spent a lot of time with us, trying to explain what the issues were and what needed to be done. He couldn't do the job at that time right then because he was already doing a job. I would probably use him in the future.
Description of Work: We received an estimate from them for replacing our electrical boxes with upgraded standard fuse boxes. There was some issues involved in the wiring, as well.

Keith Harrod was punctual, did what he said and said what he meant. He was the most reasonable of several choices for electrical contractors. He did a big job in only 3 hours. As I learned later on, He has a solid reputation amongst building inspectors. This guy is the man for any electrical job.

Exchanged emails with Keith and set up a date and time. Arrived early, installed generator disconnect and cord set. Very clean and neat work. Works perfectly!!! Also had him install outlets in garage. Again delivered more than expected and put double outlets in and patched the ceiling when done. I asked him to take a look at another switch and in 5 mins he fixed. I finally found an electrician I can trust that exceeds my expectations. Hire him!

Keith was a great. Price was lower than others I'd priced, on time, required nothing up front to start, free estimate(not the kind that takes the estimate off of the total bill), and final result was equivalent to art work as it was masterfully and cleanly laid out. Drywall around the electrical box was repaired and painted and the mess cleaned up. I couldn't be happier and more pleased and would recommend him to anyone needing electrical work.

Keith did an excellent job, we have a duplex home with two meters, and multiple service panels. He replaced all the panels and breakers and added some other circuits for additional appliances and a pool heater. He is friendly, very prompt, and a joy to work with. Highly recommended!

Everything was in working order within 15 minutes of his arrival. I was very impressed with Keith's professionalism and punctuality . It's a pleasure to work with someone who is not a high pressure salesman.
Description of Work: Keith was called to repair a circuit breaker that was overloaded and would not pass an inspection. He gave me a choice of a quick, but efficient, fix that didn't cost a lot and a better fix that I couldn't afford now, but will do in the future. I also asked him to look at an outlet that I was having trouble with under the kitchen sink. Keith said he mainly worked on circuit breakers and installations, but he was glad to help me out. He found the problem quickly and fixed it without hesitation.

Work was provided by owner. He changed out all the electrical outlets in two bedrooms, and replaced an outside outlet. He did the work in a timely manner and charged a reasonable price for his services. I had used him in the past also to change our service from fuse box to updated circuit breaker box. This was also done at a good price and the work was excellent.

Keith was immediately available on phone, called back when he said he would, and arrived the same day. I asked that he not only repair the outlet, but check and see if any other damage was done or other wiring affected. He quoted me a service call price, said he would probably be able to do the job within the service hour and did so. He arrived within 4 hours of my original call, was very professional and charged just what he quoted. I would definitely recommend him and would call again for any electrical work.

From the call to schedule the appointment, to the technician, Carlos Nino, everyone was polite and courteous. Carlos arrived at the scheduled time, we discussed the job and I was provided with an estimate. Carlos did the work for me and kept me informed of everything that was being done. He was very polite, friendly and courteous. The job was completed to my satisfaction and I would highly recommend this company to my friends and neighbors.

FANTASTIC!! I truly can't say enough POSITIVE things about my experience!! I had sent an email to multiple electricians I had found here on Angie's ne List. Keith (of Essex) was definitely the "early bird," responding to me IMMEDIATELY! He had sent me an email response, as well as sent me a text message, and phoned me! My schedule is very difficult to accommodate, and Keith was sure to come out to my home immediately. Early the morning of my initial contact, he was at my home, inspecting the problem, and offered me a solution. In fact, he was even able to take care of the work THAT DAY!! I had looked into having this work done in the past, but simply hadn't done so as of yet, due to costs. Keith was able to provide me with a cost that was VERY competitive to the estimates I'd gotten previously. Given the level of professionalism and attentiveness (as well as the positive feedback and reviews I found here on Angie's List), I was extremely comfortable in choosing Keith and Essex for the job. The work itself was PERFECT!! Keith had sent me pictures of the work being done throughout the process, further reassuring me of my choice in his company. Many companies/contractors will often NOT want their customer to see the actual process of completion, and just want to get paid. He was meticulous in his work, and everything was done perfectly. In fact, he really went above and beyond my expectations-- He took care of finding the matching paint, and painted the box the appropriate color. We hadn't even discussed the painting of the box, but he went out of his way to FULLY COMPLETE the job successfully. When everything was done, he had ensured my satisfaction with the job. I couldn't be happier with my choice of this company. Start to finish, everything went exceptionally well! I DEFINITELY recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and (very) reasonable electrician. A+++++++
Description of Work: Essex had replaced the electrical box on the outside of my property.

Keith was a dream to work with. He was punctual, professional, and fair. My mother lives alone and I live in another city. The work being done was on her house. Keith took his time to patiently walk me through what he planned to work on. He also took several pictures to show me before and after pictures so that I could visualize how the project was going. I would recommend Keith to any one and furthermore will continue to use his services going forward. I could not have asked for a better outcome.
Description of Work: Keith upgraded our electrical system to 200amps from 100amps, he replaced the federal panel to a 200 amp Siemens paenl with all new breakers, he replaced the feed wires as well to support the increase to 200 amps, added a new flex connection to the AC compressor, coordinated getting a permit from the city and having the inspection pass, replaced all of the outlets in the house from 2 prong to 3 prong while adding new outlets in the bathrooms and kitchen.
