I would recommend him again. He was very professional. He came out and gave us an estimate and sent us the estimate the same day. He only took a few hours to give us the estimate. He made other suggestions to what fixtures we should buy and we took back the fixtures we had already purchase.

I would recommend Clar Electric to anyone. They were extremely helpful, professional, and Jamie was a pleasure to work with. They completed their work on time, on budget, and even got the permit from the town, and scheduled all inspections. On top of that, their price was very competitive.

Jamie responded very promptly to my email request for a quotation and came to do the estimate within a couple days of our first contact. He's an amiable guy and very professional in both manner and workmanship. On the day the work was scheduled, the crew showed up on time, completed the work in almost exactly the amount of time they'd estimated, and cleaned up well after themselves.
Description of Work: Jamie and his crew installed two new circuits for my garage-based workshop.

It went well. They sent 2 men to complete the job. They were on time, knowledgeable, and the work was completed quickly and correctly. It took them about 2 - 2.5 hours. It only took them about 15 minutes to figure out the closet light problem, so they didn't charge me for it. They did tell me what it would take to get it fixed though. I am happy with the overall job.
Description of Work: Removed 2 ceiling fan lights and replaced them with chandeliers. Removed 1 ceiling fan and replaced it with a ceiling fan light. Converted the wall switch to operate the fan/light because it previously operated a wall outlet. Investigated a non-working closet light.

Jaime Clar did a wonderful job! He returned my call right away when I contacted him. He made an appointment to come out and look at it. I was supposed to be home but I ran late, he went in the backyard and checked things out for us. When I called to apologize, he knew what needed to be done and how long it would take and an estimate. On the day of the scheduled job, it was cold out and I asked if he wanted to reschedule due to the weather. He declined and showed up as scheduled. He finished the work and everything is working great. He is a very nice man, friendly and social. I would highly recommend him for any type of electrical work, in fact I am planning to have him back for more work in the house.
Description of Work: We need a part replaced outside on our electrical box. The electric company placed a temporary part, but we needed an electrician to replace with a permanent part.

We are very pleased with the work done by Clar Electric. We like doing business with local companies. Jamie came out to give us a quote on the same day that we called. He checked a line that I was worried about while he was there. The work was planned around our schedule, and the electricians showed up exactly at the time they said they would.
Description of Work: Jamie and his crew installed new lighting fixtures in the kitchen, hallways, dining room, hall closet, basement,and foyer. They also ran a new electrical line in our garage, so that we could move our older refrigerator into the garage.

Jamie came over to take a look and give us an estimate. After quite a bit of detective work, not surprising since it's an old house, Jamie came up with a solution and go ahead and did the work right then, and the price was reasonable given the time spend diagnosing. We were very happy with the work and he clearly enjoyed the challenge of the old house.
Description of Work: We had a grounding issue with the bathtub fixtures of our old house (1922). Ultimately grounding straps solved the problem.

Jamie came out to give me an estimate first. I told him that our new dishwasher was triggering the circuit breaker off, so he replaced it. He then came back out the following week to complete the rest of the work after the new ceiling fan I'd ordered came in. He was very efficient and thorough with all the work he did. We would definitely have him back if and when we need an electrician again!
Description of Work: Replaced 2 circuit breakers, 3GFI outlets and one ceiling fan.

We found Jamie through Angie's list, and contacted him via email. He quickly responded (on a Saturday) and offered to talk us through the problem over the phone to avoid a service call. After explaining the detail of our mess, we set up an appointment for Monday afternoon. Jamie called to let us know that he was on his way to our house, and promptly arrived thereafter. He quickly demonstrated his electrical expertise and aptitude (explaining relevant code and that which we screwed up), and he clearly is a master electrician (20 years experience in the trade). He quickly troubleshooted the problem, and before long we again had power restored to the other half of our house. He explained in understandable terms that which we already knew - that we did successfully connect the wiring on our own (we just did it WRONG). Jamie was pleasant, humorous, and most important, did not make us feel embarrassed by our mess. Rather he just confirmed that we are not electricians. Thanks Jamie!
Description of Work: Jamie was brought in to properly reconnect wiring in a junction box where six circuits were fed; to reinstall a switch for under cabinet lighting; to add a new duplex receptacle; and to reconnect two GFCI's. Because we stupidly took apart all the splices in the box, and since our try at reconnecting the wiring was wrong, we caused considerable damage in that we fried our microwave, the control board on our refrigerator, three GFCI's, a dimmer, a cable box, and a partridge in the pear tree.

Best electrical contractor I have worked with. Jamie Clar was prompt in arriving to do the estimate, and he was clear in scheduling the service date and scope of the work. His crew, Phil and Tom arrived on time and finished early--- in spite of unexpectedly having to spend a lot of time in a cramped attic space, tracing/locating the wiring in my older home. When they were finished, everything worked perfectly. The project took less time than originally estimated, and the price for labor was adjusted downward to reflect this. A pleasure to do business with Clar Electric. Highly recommended.

It was absolutely wonderful. They called back to us within fifteen minutes and came out within the hour. He scheduled the work to be done after we came home from vacation. He arrived on the day of work when he said he would be there. He completed the work in a timely manner with excellent workmanship. He was very professional. In fact we was so good that we have contracted for him to do another job and would be glad to recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Replace the electrical panel and put in proper circuit breakers that were done incorrectly by another electrician. Replaced an attic fan, check wiring in attic, and installed two ceiling fans.
