In the middle of the recent floods our in home generator decided to die on us. After ordering and receiving a new one we contacted Mr. Darcy who came right out and determined what he needed to do to get us online once again. Not only was he efficient but his price was the lowest of all those who quoted for the job. One company was in excess of $2,000 over Colonial's price. This is the real deal. No hype or chasing your tail to get something done quickly and cost effective. We have had Mr. Darcy and his helper, Nathan, to our home numerous times and have NEVER had to call him back because of shoddy workmanship. Get him booked before you call anyone else !!! You will be glad you did.
Description of Work: Install whole house generator and transfer switch.

Mr. James came out not only same day but immediately to offer a quote and set an appointment for the following day. My house was only built with one outlet behind my washing machine/dryer because original owners opted for a unified stacked washer/dryer that only needed one plug. Well, when I bought full size appliances to replace that old system I had been without working appliances for 3 weeks at that point when I learned on delivery day I would need another outlet. Mad at myself for not thinking of that but Mr. James quickly came to my aid. Mr. James was so kind and understanding. He thoroughly explained what he needed to do beforehand and what any complications may entail. He was very straightforward, careful, and after he quickly hooked me up, he cleaned up after himself. He brought everything needed with him. His price was very reasonable, especially because he came out right away. I will definitely be calling him again and I am very happy to have used this company.
Description of Work: Put a new 110 outlet in for my washer hookup on its own circuit

I called and setup a day and time several days later for when I was due back in town. Service was setup for 1st thing in the morning. I received a call from Mr. Darce about 20 minutes before his arrival on the morning of service. Mr Darce promptly arrived and performed the service. Although the job was a relatively small job, I found Mr. Darce to be knowledgeable and professional and his price seemed very fair. He also gave me a quote on a couple of electrical projects and have planned in the future and will definitely call Mr. Darce to perform those services.
Description of Work: Install at least 10 new switches, some of which were programmable to turn outdoor lights on and off automatically. Also needed several fan switches installed.

I called on Monday morning. They offered to come that day, but I could tell it would be squeezing us in and it wasn't an emergency. They definitely would have come that day had it been an emergency. They came first thing on Tuesday and called 30 minutes before arrival to confirm. They communicated well throughout the setup and also in explaining what our problems were. Work was very fast and efficient. Will definitely call them for future jobs.
Description of Work: We (the homeowners) hooked up a new light fixture and changed all the outlets in a bedroom. The power worked before we started, but not after. We thought it was a faulty breaker, but the problem was that we had an outlet that was removed with just the wires sticking out. We didn't finish hooking it up because it was still "hot" and we thought we were having electrical issues. Our outlets and light switch work in a series, so not having one outlet hooked up resulted in the next outlets not working (like Christmas tree lights). Easy fix for these guys. Felt pretty dumb, but now we know. They also replaced an outdoor motion light that was broken in no time.

Right before I was leaving town for the Christmas holidays, the power went out in one area of the house and I was unable to set the alarm system. After calling around to several other businesses to try to have someone come out to fix the problem and not being successful, I reached Mr. Darcy who postponed his own plans to leave town in order to come out to my house to try to fix the problem. He quickly located the problem, restored power and I was able to set the alarm before I went out of town for several days.
Description of Work: Restored electrical service to one section of the house where power went out, which included the security system.

Mr.Darcy has installed almost every electrical item in this 20 year old home from ceiling fans to light fixtures with absolutely no problems or call backs. He is a pleasure to have in the house and will take the time to explain any questions. We recently had a broken switch behind a switch plate. It would have been easy to just walk away and not do anything but Mr. Darcy fixed the problem while he was repairing another problem. His service and prices are unbeatable !
Description of Work: James Darcy and his son will visit your home and perform superior service in an absolutely efficient manner. His cost is minimal compared to some of the estimates I have received from both providers on and off this list. He is a pleasure to work with as he gives you a time he will arrive and calls before he comes. He is never late and often times can come a little earlier if you agree. We have had to upgrade our 20 year old home with almost everything electrical. James has quoted some rock bottom prices and performs the work so quickly he will be driving down the highway before you know it. This is an excellent find and a major candidate for Angie's list.

They are good and have always been very responsive when I have called them. They have been very patient with my job. They are nice people. They had to go through every wire which was big help.
Description of Work: I have used Colonial Electric LLC for doing some electrical work in my old house. They put everything that was not in code to be in code. They are currently in the process of giving me a quote for my current house too.
