Rich identified the issue in no time and resolved it almost immediately. He also took a look at some other unrelated items, consulted me on my home theatre project in my basement and fixed my snow blower too. I know whom I am going to call next time I need someone.

Very well! He explained what the work entailed and the steps needed to work with Com Ed to get the work done. Very professional, helpful and his price was reasonable. I would definitely hire him again.

I did not care for the way the outdoor light was installed. Had I know that it will wind up costing me even more money for additional parts and for someone to come out and install that, I would have never had him install it in the first place. The workmanship was fine, just the way it looks is disappointing. I would have hoped he would have realized what the finished installation would look like. Also, He does not accept credit cards. Only checks and cash.
Description of Work: Had a security light installed and had three light fixtures removed

Response from Custom Power Electric
All work was explained to homeowner before work was started. The exterior light was installed for water proof purposes and all per code. However I do not carry or install vinyl siding parts and pieces. I explained to homeowner that we would need a matching color vinyl siding cap and your contractor would be able to get us one. With this being a brand new construction home homeowner did not want to have any drywall repair on the inside of the house therefore we could not go higher with the installation causing us to stay in the siding location. Custom power electric explained that if we can get a siding cap from the siding contractor all work will look flush and not have the waterproof box sticking out. This review does not reflect the workmanship of Custom Power Electric it is the homeowners misunderstanding that I am not a siding contractor and do not carry vinyl siding pieces

He was friendly, on-time, quite responsive to my questions and was very amenable to a small request I made re: installing an outlet that was not part of the scope of work. I was impressed with his timeliness and ease of flexibility. Will definitely use again in 2 weeks.

Fantastic job on both issues. Returned my initial phone call within minutes $57of my leaving a message. He set an appointment for him to come and check the fan. He texted the night before as a reminder and called the next day, advising he was on the way. He was early for the three appointments. He had to order parts for the two different jobs. Great job and I would definetly recommend him!

Richard came out during the time window he provided. He removed our old ceiling fan and installed a new one in under an hour. He also explained some options for tying the light and fan into the switch on our wall. He was friendly and took care to keep our room clean during the install.

Very pleased with my visit from Rich. He was able to diagnose my problem and get it resolved in 2 hours. He was very open with what his plan was and explained everything along the way, which I appreciated. There were no surprises for what he billed me, as he explained how he does his billing to me on the phone before he ever came out. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others.

Everything went great. Rich was very professional and did a great job. He was also very careful with our furniture when he had to move things and made sure to clean up afterwards. He also explained things clearly so I could understand whenever there was a decision to be made.
Description of Work: Rich came out and ran wiring from existing switches in 3 bedrooms and put in place ceiling fan boxes so I could mount them later. Rich also installed two outdoor electrical outlets and re-wired a bedroom so that the outlets were always hot.

Rich makes the work look easy and my boys are happy with their new gaming space!!! I'd definitely hire him again!
Description of Work: We needed a new electric line run in the basement. Rich set up everything we needed to install a new TV and my boys' gaming system in a new space so they don't monopolize our current TV. He even saved me the hassle of putting together the new media cabinet/fireplace. Also, since the fireplace uses a lot of electricity, he installed a new breaker for us.

Great. I already have plans to use his help and expertise for some other work in the house.
Description of Work: Outside GFCI switch needed replacement. I was planning to put christmas lights after the thanksgiving weekend only to find out the outlet was not working. I called Rich on a weekend and he returned the call promptly and fixed the switch within 2 days. He constantly kept in touch and informed me via text message when he was going to be at the house and after the work was done ( I did not have to be present for the work)
