Blazer Electric Co

the first time they were out here it went fine. When it got cold and snowed the ice on the roof wasn't melting which meant ice cicles dwere forming on my gutters. They came out again and put cable on the lower part of the roof. He then told me that was the first time they had tride to put cable on the roof to keep ice cicles from forming on my gutters. I wish he would have told me before they started any work

The workers did good work but it was over priced. The workers competence was very good, but the owner was quick to just focus on money.

Jack and his partner arrived exactly when he said. They were extremely conscious of any mess in the kitchen and also made sure to wipe any dirt/water from shoes off the floor by the front door! As with other work he has done at our house in the past, he made sure to do everything properly and commented that it appeared someone had taken a shortcut when installing our old light fixtures. In the bedroom some furniture had to be moved to access the outlet and everything was put back exactly how it had been. In addition to being knowledgeable, he is very professional and conscientious. We will definitely use him again for any needs in future and I would highly recommend for any electrical projects.

We had a short window. We originally were hoping they would come within a week but they came once they were able. They were very professional. We were really happy with them. It seemed like the best deal out there.

It went smoothly. I will use again.

My husband and I highly recommend Blazer Electric. Jack is a true professional. From the onset, Jack responded quickly to our calls and emails. He then scheduled an appointment within the week to come by and do a load calculation. After meeting Jack, my husband and I agreed that we wanted to use Blazer Electric for our lower level remodel. Once again,when we called, he immediately responded. A date was then chosen for the work to be completed. Jack and his associate were on time despite the subzero temperature. They were very conscious of our home and took measures not to track snow onto the floors. They were both very polite and worked diligently and quietly throughout the day. My husband, a DIY, watched part of the job and was impressed by how thorough they were and careful as they progressed through the project. At days end, the ceiling lights were installed perfectly and all outlets and switches in the exact places. We are pleased with Blazer Electric and have asked them to do a bathroom remodel. We're also plan to use them for a gut rehab of our kitchen within the year. By the way we used Angie's list to find Blazer Electric as we know no local electricians. We give them an A++.

All the work was done perfectly. I recommend him highly as a top professional, and would call him again if I needed any electrical work.

I did not hear from him, so I phoned several times, and left messages asking that he call and tell me if I should still expect him. He never replied. So I emailed Jack. He also never responded. I emailed yet again. Never heard from either of them. Total lack of professionalism. Unreliable.

He did do good work and replaced the breaker.

Jack was fantastic! He came over quickly on one of the coldest days this year to help us get our electricity back on. He diagnosed it right away, explained every step of the way what was going on, and got the power up and running within an hour! Pleasure to work with and would definitely recommend him to anyone. We will be using him again for more work in the near future.

The electrician (non-English speaking) ruined my ceiling when the light fixture he was to replace fell and tore a hole in the ceiling. He patched it up by driving a nail into the ceiling to patch it up. crappy. He exchanged my light fixture and left cords hanging and kept trying to shove wires up into the ceiling. Had he cut the right length and braided the wires throught the cords, it would have been a neat job. He was sloppy. Then he was suppose to replace the balaster (sp?) in two light fixtures in the basement. He went to the Home Depot and brought light bulbs. That didn't fix the problem. I was charged $40 just for the half hour he took at the Home Depot. When I told his boss that I was not happy that he put in light bulbs versus replacing the balaster he told me since I was now a customer the next time my cost would be $40 an hour. Next time?? If he sends sloppy, menial electricians there will be no next time. I had to leave for work, so I paid the guy and now I will have to look for someone else to fix the problems and the mess he made.

Excellent. Jack came out with an assistant on a weekend, arrived on time, and went over and above. Will definitely use Blazer again.

We smelled a burning smell from our dimmer switch and flipped off the circuit. This meant we had no electricity in our bathroom, entryway, most of the kitchen, or half the basement. We called three electricians and Jack was the only one who answered his phone (it was a Sunday evening, to be fair). He said he was out on calls that were more serious than ours, but that he would be at our home in about 4 hours. He asked me to take a photo of the dimmer so he could have the correct parts when he arrived (genius! why don't other contractors do this?!). He arrived within the stated time, had the problem fixed in about 20 minutes, and confirmed we did the right thing because the old switch had a serious problem. Yeah, $275 was a lot, but it's a small price to pay for not burning your house down in a blizzard when the temperature was expected to be -20 overnight. His normal rates for schedules services are not that expensive as we plan to have him back to do some non-emergency work later.

It turned out good. They came out shortly after we bought the deal and we didn't spend anything extra. everything was in good shape and I've had no issues since then.

Jack and his crew did a wonderful job on our electrical box, switches, and outside meter replacement. They were timely, did a great job and cost effective. More impressive, is that I called in a panic less than a week after the initial replacement (about an area of the house they did not work on) and Jack came out that evening. It was a dangerous electrical situation where an outlet almost caught fire. I am so grateful he came out when I know he had been working all day. I highly recommend this company. Very good people, and good to work with!!

I followed Jack's instructions and his recommended solution worked. Most electricians would have just come over and done the quick fix and charged an arm and a leg. Jack was honest and more impressively, was able to self diagnose the problem over the phone and walk a novice through the fix. I would DEFINITELY use Jack again the next time I had an electrical need and would HIGHLY recommend Jack for his honesty and electrical abilities. Thanks Jack!

When I discovered my holiday lights would not work, I called Jack and he showed up on time, if not early with a courtesy call to make sure that was ok. He assessed the problem then made the repair. He explained the options to us and provided not only the parts but labor in a timely and professional manner. He even completed 2 additional indoor outlets for me that were not in my original request. If I have electrical problems in the future, I would definitely call Jack.

UPDATE after company reply: Sorry, but I did not tell Jack to "pack up his tools" and drop everything to come to my house. I told him I was looking for someone to come and find the reason my tub was not working - he said he could come later that day. Period. I had no indication from him that he would be performing some sort of special instant service at a high rate. Obviously a non-functioning jacuzzi tub is not some emergency and I did not act like it was when I spoke with him. Yes, Jack came to my home. Yes, he traced the problem to my bathroom (not surprising when the bathroom tub is what was broken). Yes, he should be paid for his time and I appreciated the effort he did make, which I believe was clear in my fair review. However, I asked him what I owed him when he was getting ready to leave and HE put off the payment and did not contact me until a month later. It's not my job to keep track of his open job tickets, and he is misrepresenting the situation by making it sound like I was trying to dodge the bill. Everything I stated about this incident and the pricing is accurate! If other customers want to pay that rate, then be my guest. Original Review: I want to give a fair review here - If I could give a B - / C + I would. Jack took my call and was able to come out later the same day, which was great. He was polite and conversational. When he arrived, he took a look at the circuit breaker to verify nothing was thrown, then looked at the outlets in and near the bathroom where the problem tub was located. After looking at those things, he informed me that he was unable to determine the exact problem. He thought perhaps the issue was with wiring that was behind wood paneling, which he was not comfortable removing. He suggested I have a carpenter in and then give him a call when more of the wiring was exposed. The carpenter/handyman I hired to come in and get behind the paneling was able to fix the problem. Since the problem was resolved and Jack had done nothing to fix it, I did not call him to come back. I got a call from Jack almost a month later. He said he had an open ticket for me and after I explained that the problem had been fixed by someone else, he informed me that I owed him $125.00. And apparently this was doing me a favor because the regular price for his visit would be $250.00! I was dismayed that he would expect such a fee for glancing at a few outlets and then NOT solving the problem. If he intended to charge such a fee, I should have been made aware of that over the phone or as soon as he arrived. Secondly, that amount is outrageous for coming over and not fixing the issue -- I understand that his time is valuable and he uses gas to get to his appointments (which he explained to me at length) but if you get paid $250.00 for removing and replacing outlet covers, then I want that job. I don't mind paying for a visit, but anything over a hundred dollars when you could not resolve the issue is not justifiable. Overall, I would not hire this company again. While Jack was responsive and courteous when I called, there was a lack of transparency about pricing and I ended up paying even though nothing was fixed. I feel ripped off, honestly. Not a good feeling when it comes to dealing with a business.

Jack is terrific! I'm so happy we found him on Angie's List and will definitely work with him again and refer him to friends and family!

I called to have shower light and bathroom light/exhaust fans were all out in one bathroom. I also had outdoor floodlights that were out. It turns out that the shower light was fine; the GFI outlet that it was connected to was just triggered (and I didn't realize), so nothing was wrong there. The outdoor floodlights just needed cleaning and adjustment. There were some bee/insect residuals in the light bulb socket and the spring inside may needed adjusting, but basically the connections/wiring weren't really broken. The only issue that really was broken was the exhaust fan/light in bathroom which needed the socket and wiring to be fixed to work. All in all, the job took about 1 hr (maybe less) and even with Angie's List discounts, the cost came out to $200. Jack was really cordial and professional and explained everything before he made any fixes and also explained what he did afterwards. While they were late than the time promised, they phoned to say they were running about an hr late, so I appreciated the phone call at least. The service itself was great; I'm not sure how competitive their pricing is for what they did. I'll have to try other contractors out in the area to compare, but it seemed a bit high for what they did -- esp since it took only about an hr and 1 out of the 3 items was a non-issue (resetting the GFI outlet switch) and the outdoor floodlight issue seemed like a simple fix too since the wiring was fine and only one of the sockets needed cleaning/adjusting. IF pricing is the same w/ other contractors, I would definitely go with Jack again.

I had purchased an Angies List coupon that at the end of last 2012 for 2 hours of electrical work that expired at the end of June 2013 - and I hadn't taken advantage of it. I contacted Jack Blazer to ask if he would still honor it - and he agreed. He called me back 2 days after my initial call to schedule his visit - which was within 10 days of my initial call. He called ahead of time to narrow down his arrival time. The visit was quick and Jack was very professional. Total work time was less than 1 hour. He checked to make sure that there wasn't any other service that needed to be performed. I would use him again.

As explained above, all parts and labor needed to complete the upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp installation was done to my satisfaction.

1 day response, over weekend, to Angie's List message. Also provided referral.

This was a minor job related to a home sale. The price was very competitive but it was hard to schedule. I think they just fit me in between jobs and after hours but again the job only took a couple of hours. They were very professional.

Jack was great. He responded quickly to my inquiry, showed up on time, and I couldn't be happier with his work. Very professional, explained everything clearly too. I will definitely call him again if I need an electrician.
