Eddie was so great. He answered my questions, worked quickly and efficiently, was easy to communicate with through text and email, and basically manifested the kind of magical competence that I'm always hoping for when I hire a professional to help solve a mystery. I called him with a problem (water damage in a wired smoke detector) and by the time he got here, I had a list of other electrical mysteries that had been building up around the house. Eddie was prepared with all the extra parts he needed, and fixed all of them in the first hour. We made an appointment to fix the last problem in a few weeks. I'm so happy to have found such a talented and friendly electrical expert. I highly recommend his work.
Description of Work: Eddie fixed an outlet that wasn't working, a smoke detector that had water damage, and a flaky circuit causing flickering lights in one part of the house.

The two gentlemen were [polite and efficient. I appreciated their professionalism after having had quite a heady interaction after he left and things were not as I expected.
Description of Work: E R Electric contacted me immediately after I posted my initial but well delayed review. He cam out the next day and installed the plug he missed the first visit and repaired the light that would not work after his first visit.

I had called around to several electricians before landing on E/R, and had been so disappointed by the lack of follow-up for a relatively small job like ours. Eddie was exactly what I had been hoping for: an electrician who returned inquiries promptly, provided an estimate up front and scheduled me for his first available opening which was just 48 hours after I called. He even provided a very reasonable quote on some future work we are considering. These guys are absolute pros: prompt, courteous, and excellent at what they do. I will definitely be calling them for future electrical work. A+
Description of Work: Eddie and his assistant rewired 7 old and faulty outlets in our Family Room. Fixed the polarity, restored power, and got everything working perfectly.

The project went very smoothly. Eddie responded quickly to my initial inquiry. He assessed the scope of the effort, provided a reasonable quote, and scheduled the job the following week. He and his team arrived early on the scheduled date, installed the new emergency lighting fixtures and tested them to ensure they worked properly. We are very pleased with the quality of the work and would consider hiring E/R Electric for future jobs.
Description of Work: Replaced two emergency lighting units in the hallway of our residential building.

We've used ER Electric before, so we knew they did good work. Eddie is excellent at communicating, whether by email or phone. We originally scheduled a date for them to come but Eddie contacted us to say he had to meet an inspector for a current job and needed to reschedule. We quickly worked out another time. He was actually able to come earlier that day which worked out well. Eddie came with two other electricians and installed the light in about 45 minutes. We're happy with the results and will use them again.
Description of Work: A porch light was installed.

Bought an Angie's List deal for 2 hours of labor for $160. Communication was prompt and professional. Eddie asked all of the necessary questions prior to arriving to ensure that he had the equipment and parts upon arrival. Eddie and his partner arrived on time. When they arrived Eddie made sure that I understood that the deal was for 2 hours of labor total, and since he and his partner would be working together the deal would cover one hour of labor from two people. He told me the hourly rate they would charge if the work took longer, and ensured that I was OK with that prior to starting work. Before starting Eddie gave me two options: he could cut new outlet holes through tile which would be time-consuming and expensive, or he could re-use an existing receptacle hole and cut one new hole in the plaster above the tile which would be cheaper. Eddie showed me how each option would look and work. I decided to go with the cheaper option, and they completed the work quickly. Upon finishing he showed me what they had done, and demonstrated that both of the new receptacles were functioning properly both at the appliance end, as well as at the circuit breaker end (Eddie installed new AFCI/GFCI breakers for us and showed me that the breakers were operating properly). Great experience and very good price. I would hire Eddie again for electrical work in the future.
Description of Work: Installed two new 20 amp circuit breakers, wiring, and receptacles. Capped off BX wiring that had served a two-prong outlet that was updated to a 20-amp, grounded outlet.

He didn't show up for my 2nd appointment and he was unprofessional, only contacting me via email. Every time I tried to get a hold of him it went to an answering service and he never picked up the phone. The first time they came out, they were friendly guys, but they rushed through the job and it felt like the work was rushed as well.

Eddie was communicative from the start and arrived when he said he was going to arrive. He and his guys worked very quickly and efficiently. I had purchased a Big Deal for two hours of work, but we are already planning to have them back to work on a couple of other projects -- splitting the electricity so that the AC unit can run safely, for one, and also installing a couple of more more accessible outlets. I was especially impressed that Eddie did not suggest he do extra work when there was a simpler cost-free solution. I very much appreciated that! He's a real problem solver and is obviously very skilled. Eddie and his team get top scores for skill, professionalism and communication, efficiency and problem solving. Everything you want in an electrician. I HIGHLY recommend him and his team.
Description of Work: Eddie and his two workers created two multi-plug outlets were there had been none. They worked on the ceiling fan we'd installed that was making noise and going at a slow-poke speed. Now the ceiling fan is pleasantly cooling on those days that it isn't hot enough for the AC. They did a thorough assessment of the electricity in our condo and determined why an air conditioner in one of our rooms installed causes a scary crackling sound. They recommended splitting the power source between the rooms, so everything in the two rooms didn't pull off one source. (I clearly don't have the right lingo for this. Hopefully you get my point.)
