I consulted with Frank over the phone about an electrical issue and he was able to diagnose it as an issue with the outside wires that the electrical company should fix.

Thanks for the review. I always try to use my 33 plus years experience as a guide as to sometimes just provide answers and advice on things to check before a service call is needed. I am happy to have help resolve your situation without any fees. Please call for any other electrical related questions or problems in the future. Frank

Frank did an excellent job - very clean and efficient installation. He came in advance to advise on installation in an older home, and he came up with a solution that resulted in substantial savings. Working with Frank was great, from scoping the project to keeping to his schedule and cost estimate.

I called Frank on his cell phone and mentioned I was calling from the same town where he lived. Frank was accommodating to come by at our house on his way back. Frank came in the afternoon as promised and swapped the GFI. Frank also explained how the circuit works and the load it supports. The price was also reasonable.
Description of Work: One GFI in the kitchen was giving burnt smell. Wanted to check if some over load is causing the problem

Thank You [Member Name Removed], Overloading of circuits and loose connections are number one cause of electrical fires. I was happy to do the repairs needed and explain what is best for future usage with the kitchen circuit. Thanks for calling OReilly Electrical Service I am always happy to help.

Frank was tidy, efficient and completely trustworthy (had to leave him at the house for the two days he worked - it was absolutely no issue). He knew his stuff and didn't waste time trying different wiring or equipment options. He brought the appropriate mounting hardware (even though he is an electrician, he did a great job with the mounting), saving time again. I recommend Frank very highly to anyone needing expertise and a fair value.
Description of Work: Frank has done a couple jobs for me in my new house. His most recent job was the installation of two Italian made electric towel warmers into the bathroom. He did a fantastic job - mounted them securely and neatly on the wall, wired them, tested them, cleaned up. Ran two 1500W circuits and got it all done in less than a day. In addition he fixed a circuit in the basement which had been improperly installed by a carpenter (my bad, never again). Last year Frank wired our flat panel TV to hide the wires, put 8 shop lights in the basement, installed 2 floor outlets in our living room (fussed around with special floor box I had bought and with getting the location exactly right), installed a ceiling fan in the MBR, a light in an upstairs BR, and some other outlets.

I like to give my customers the confidence in me so if ever something as simple as a question comes up they can always call me for pretty much anything electrical related.

Frank responded in an hour to our initial email and was at our home that afternoon to take a look at the situation. He was then easily accessible through both email and phone to answer all of our questions. We are new home owners and he was knowledgable, professional and extremely helpful in guiding us in the right direction. We will definitely use him again in the future.

Thanks to Frank, the power lines were ready when Eversource needed them; however, they ended up needing to wait for the tree to be removed first! Frank was busy for hours ensuring that all work was up to code and that permits were obtained. He really focused on getting things done as quickly, efficiently and professionally as possible. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again, but hopefully, not under emergency circumstance.
Description of Work: When a large tree fell onto all of our electrical wires on a Friday night, Eversource needed for us to find an electrician in order to fix the wires to our house AND in order to turn on the power for the rest of the block. Needless to say, our neighbors were very accommodating but we could get no one to return our calls for this emergency. Frank responded immediately and was at our home within an hour. He ran around the house, both inside and out, getting the job done!

Every project Frank has done has been great. He is very responsive to email. He arrives on-time and cleans up when he's finished. He will be my first contact for any new electrical work that I need to have done.
Description of Work: Frank has done a variety of small projects for us. He replaced a number of switches throughout the house with dimmers and/or better 4-way switches. He ran a new circuit to our laundry room. He wired up a new in-line exhaust fan. And probably a few projects that I've already forgotten.

He tells you options for your plans, and helps in whatever he sees as best addressing the needs of the family.

Frank O'Reilly responded quickly and gave me an estimate which wasn't the lowest but his description of the work was much more detailed than any one else and I felt like he knew what he had to do and could do it. He came out when he said he would and did all the work in the timeframe he promised. All 3 fan/light combos have worked fine since installation and he left the rooms in excellent condiftion after the work was completed.
Description of Work: Put up 3 remote controlled ceiling fan/lights in 3 bedrooms.

We had a very hard time trying to find an electrician with any availability. I finally came to Angie's list and found Frank. He called me the same day, came and gave me a free estimate and was back the very next day to do the job. Very professional, helpful, and provided excellent service. We would definitely hire him again.

Frank was very punctual, he installed an outlet for the dish washer. We were very pleased with his knowledge and experience. This was not an easy installation. He had to remove the dish washer, uninstall the old wiring, and go through the wall to the sink side to install the. Outlet.

I didn't have the actual work done. The company had changed, and they just didn't have the same level of expertise. I don't think I would use them in the future because there are too many other providers that I don't have to continually revex, if you know I mean.

In defense of O'Reilly Electrical Service, O'Reilly Electrical Service Has not changed in 20 years of being in business and if anything our expertise has grown with the employment of other very qualified and experienced journeyman electricians. and as far as this comment posted Honestly I don't ever remember this type of request for work. In over 29 years of doing all phases of residential electrical work I have never heard of anyone hooking up exterior motion lights into a alarm system ? sorry it does not make much sense to me. I believe the comment posted is an inaccurate description of what O'Reilly Electric represents. Thank you for your understanding regarding this comment.

I received recommendations from multiple neighbors to use Frank. His workmanship looks great. He agreed to do my work on short notice, came at the specified time, cleaned up when done, and after he left we realized there had been a misunderstanding about what work was to be done. If he had written out the invoice before work started and had me initial that ( instead of writing the invoice after the work was completed), this misunderstanding could have been prevented. None the less, we resolved the issue amicably and I plan to use Frank O’Reilly’s services in the future for another home project in a couple of months. Grade A.

An inspection showed water in our electrical panel. It was coming in along the power line from outside. Frank sealed the possible places for water entry. The electrical panel itself showed signs of water damage. Frank tried to replace as little as was necessary but still be safe and in compliance. He could not find replacement parts so had to replace the whole panel with breakers. Frank did the job quickly and cleanly.

Called in the third week of November. Heard back from Frank a day or two later. Since Thanksgiving was coming up, he wanted to wait until the Monday after Thanksgiving, which was fine. Monday came and went and we hadn't heard anything. We left a voicemail, heard back the following day. By this point, he would have to schedule with my wife instead of myself because of our work schedules. My wife was never able to get this scheduled; she ended up finding another electrician instead who was prompt and responsive. For what it's worth, Frank did sound like a nice guy and a family man, and I mean him no disrespect. However, we felt like he never made our admittedly small task a priority.
Description of Work: Simple electrical problem -- problem with our electric baseboard heating. Turned out to be a circuit breaker problem, as my wife had guessed.
