This was the second time Carlos was at my home (first time he installed a vent fan in the bathroom) and both times he was excellent. Very responsive to my inquiry for quote and arrived on time the day we scheduled the work. I highly recommend Carlos if you're looking for an electrician.

Outstanding. Carlos came over in the middle of the night when I was on a business trip to get the heating back on since I was on a business trip. My wife and son were freezing. Carlos came through and helped her get the system back on even though it wasn't technically an electrical issue. What a great guy!

We have used Carlos 3 times over the past few months to do multiple projects. He is one of the best contractors I have ever worked with. Beyond his obvious traits as a highly skilled electrician I trust him. 1. His bids are detailed and very competitive on price. 2. His work quality is impeccable. 3. He is highly knowledgeable and skilled and able to solve problems on the fly. 4. He instills a sense of confidence that the project will be done on time and on budget. 5. His abilities extend far beyond electrical work so no problem is too big to solve. 6. It is evident that he is a great teacher and mentor since his protege Lee is fantastic. The two of them together are fast, efficient and they take extreme pride in the work they do. 7. He is willing to take time to explain details of the work if you show an interest. I give Carlos my highest level endorsement and I would urge anyone that wants high quality completed to hire him.
Description of Work: Upgraded electrical service from Eversource drop to the panel and replaced the entire panel with 200 amp service.

It took longer because he had to work by using a snake from one end of the room to the other light because there's no room above to get to the attic. He was very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him again.

We reached out to Carlos for an estimate on several electrical projects. He said he would come by on a Monday afternoon to review the scope of work and provide an estimate. I stayed home from work to meet with him and he never showed up. I didn't receive any phone call or email telling me something had come up and he couldn't make it. I am not planning on rescheduling with him.

We contracted with Carlos to install a standby gas generator for our home. After receiving several quotes, choosing Carlos was a no-brainer: he was the smartest and his quote was the lowest. Carlos is reliable, resourceful and relentlessly cheerful. He is also thorough and meticulous. For example, he created a sturdy (and actually rather attractive) pad for the generator, consisting of a bed of stones framed by pressure-treated beams. The job posed some logistical challenges, as our main electrical panel is quite distant from the location we chose for the generator. Carlos planned for that in his quote, but none of us expected our 50-year-old wiring to partially disintegrate when Carlos hooked up the new cut-over circuit. This did not, to our relief, result in significant additional cost, and Carlos gave us different mitigation options. We ultimately decided to have him replace the entire panel, but even this added less than 10% to the overall project cost, and the lowest-cost option, had we chosen it, would have added far less. Carlos was responsive throughout the project, communicating promptly by phone and email, and considerately accommodated the schedules of the plumber and the gas company. For a sizable job involving all the power in your house, you really want someone up to the task, and Carlos did a fine job in every way ? and our satisfaction was confirmed when our power went out a couple of months ago and the generator came on (and later turned itself off) seamlessly.
Description of Work: Installed standby generator, updated electrical panel.

When we initially contact Carlos for an estimate, he got back to us very quickly to set up an agreeable time to review the job and provide an estimate. I believe his estimate was more than reasonable for the work required and when finished, the final cost was as estimated. Both Carlos and his co-worker Joe were professional and gentlemen. Carlos was prompt; he arrived as promised. An explanation for the work performed was provided both when the estimate was provided, and as the work was being completed in the house. The finished work was well done and looked great; the job site was left clean. I appreciate the respect they always showed our home. Talking with them was a pleasure. They were great to work with and I will not hesitate to use them in the future; Carlos will be my first call.

The outside wires were ripped off the house during a winter storm and left the house with no electricity. I called Carlos around 9 pm and he returned my call within 10 minutes. He came out the next day first thing in the morning and spent several hours making all the re-connections and repairs. He kept in touch (the house is occupied by renters) with me every step of the way and took care of the problem completely. Since the house is not owner occupied I was not onsite - Carlos happily billed me and saved me the 45 minute drive to the property. It's hard to get someone to respond at that late hour when you don't have an established history with them but Carlos came through and I will definitely use him again in the future. Thanks again Carlos!

I called Carlos at 6:30pm and explained my problem. I told him that while it wasn't an emergency, I was looking to find someone to fix my issues before the weekend as I was having a large crowd to the house. Carlos could not come the next day but offered to come over right at that moment and help me out! He was extremely nice, explained to me very nicely and politely the myriad of things I did wrong as he corrected each one, installed the thermostat and was on his way in no time. I have always been a "doityourselfer" but not anymore. Carlos is my guy now and I will be calling him for any and all electrical work I have. Fantastic experience!!!!!

Called Carlos after calling 2 other electrical companies which I gave them F's on Angie"s list. Carlos came over that same afternoon looked at what had to be done and dropped off the estimate the next day. We agreed on a day to do the work and he and Eddie showed up right on time. Did a great job and cleaned up after. Carlos didn't have a plate for the switch in the bedroom but came back the next day and installed it. Should have called him first, my bad. A's all around for Carlos.

Carlos is not just the best electrician I've worked with but he is the best contractor that I've ever worked with. He tells you when he will be there, he shows up on time, he works fast and he is extremely cost conscious. Even though this was a pretty complicated job because my box is pretty full at this point, he quickly had it wired up. He also was ok with moving the port to the back of the house instead of putting it close to the patch panel which would have been the easier option. I've you need electrical work in your home, I can't recommend Carlos enough. He background is working on commercial electrical jobs so he takes that knowledge and expertise and can use it to help you plan out and accomplish whatever project you need done.
Description of Work: Carlos installed the switch box and external port for a portable generator I purchased. It was important to me that he wired the port to the back of the house because I wanted the generator noise to be buffered from my neighbors.

Carlos responded immediately, came to the house withing the hour, diagnosed the trouble and fixed it. He also moved an outdoor light for me while he was here. He is a delight to work with, is extremely knowledgeable, and very professional. I have already booked him for more work so that should answer the question if I would use him again.
