Prompt response from Eddie. Eddie and his partner showed up on time. Very professional. Because there were two electrician's they worked for an hour, and these guys worked hard and fast! In one hour they were able to: -Relocate 2 outlets in basement wall -Relocate electric heater in basement -Install 2 arc fault breakers due to tapped arc fault circuit breaker -Install regular breaker due to tapped arc fault circuit breaker (only had 2 arc-fault breakers in truck) -Test all work done Eddie was also able to do a walk-through of the house to inspect a few things we wanted an estimate for: -Rough in and install 1-single pole switch for 2-wall sconces (sconces supplied by other) in Dining Room -Demo existing lighting, rough in and install 1-single pole dimmer for 5-5? incandescent recess lights in Kitchen -Rough in and install 1-20amp circuit for new hood range (to be supplied and vented by other) in Kitchen -Disconnect old alarm system, install duct seal on exterior weather head point of attachment, repair 1-exterior outlet (*He got back to me with an estimate for all of the above work in a week and a half.) Overall I was extremely impressed with the work that was done and the level of professionalism. We will definitely be using their service again.

Eddie came promptly for an estimate, earlier this winter,, sending messages to confirm. He returned with his assistant Diovanni. Eddie made suggestions for placement of 4 recessed kitchen lights with a dimmer switch, and taped circle templates where he would install them. Once we gave our approval, they promptly installed 4 lights, which replaced a '70's style plastic Tiffany lamp on a chain. The results were dramatic. Eddie and Diovanni are a great team, swept up our kitchen floor, covered our counters and were fast! The entire job was one in less than 2 hours. Will use them again!

Every thing went very well. So well that they finished early before my paid time had expired. They work very fast so be sure that you have the amount of work that will tak all the time you have paid for. I am not saying that they do less than outstanding work because they work fast. Their work is outstanding, to th fact that this is my second time using them

Eddie and I exchanged messages through the Angie's list forum and agreed upon the work to be done and when it should take place. After the initial agreement, I asked Eddie if we could talk by phone for any further communication such as confirmation the day before the work was to be done. He was reluctant, saying that there was nobody in the office early in the morning. Still don't know what that has to do with calling me. After I persisted he agreed and then final confirmation came via message through Angie's. On the day of work he called to say that he was ahead of schedule and would be there about an hour ahead. That was fine. Eddie and his assistant began work but had to leave soon after starting to check our local store for some mini-breakers which he did not have. This seemed odd to me as that's a pretty common part but they were back shortly (45 minutes) and were then done shortly after. Eddie showed me the receipt for the part and I had to write a check for that amount. He showed me the work that he had done and was on his way.
Description of Work: I asked Eddie to install a surge protector at the main panel in the basement and paid upfront for the 2 hour package offered through Angie's List. The work was down quickly on the date we agreed upon.

Eddie responded quickly to my phone call with a work request. Came to the condo quickly and provided a written estimate of the work to be done. Great. Quote was $875 which included having to hard wire and run new wiring for a smoke detector in the basement. Eddie and another man showed up on time to do the work. The 2 men did the work in an hour and a half (3 man hours). They did NOT end up having to run any new wiring in the basement. The wiring was already there. The estimated price was stilll charged even though LESS work was needed. So I was charged $291 an hour to replace existing fixtures. $291 an hour is a VERY HIGH rate. Also, when the work was done, I was told by the fire dept that I needed a permit for the work done with the smoke detectors. Fine. When I told this to Eddie, he told me it would cost ANOTHER $335 for him to get the permit and meet the inspector. All Eddie had to do was go online and apply for the permit. It costs $30. I had another electrician get the permit and it cost $30 ... NOT $175 as Eddie was telling me I had to pay. AND I met the Inspector myself so Eddie's $335 ADDITIONAL charge cost me $30 with another electrician. I highly recommend NOT using ER Electric. Cost of service is EXTREMELY high. When less work was required, I was still charged the amount quoted for MORE work. Was charging me $175 for a $30 permit. Told me I was supposed to know when a permit is needed, not him. HE IS THE LICENSED PROFESSIONAL.
Description of Work: No new wiring was needed. Just replaced 2 existing outdoor light fixtures, 2 existing indoor light fixtures and replaced 3 existing smoke detectors. ORIGIANLLY was told new wiring was needed for the smoke detectors so this is why I hired an electrician.

Response from E R Electric
Hi, Sorry to hear that you are disappointed with our services.We came out on a Saturday to do a walk thru, as you told us what was required for your building inspection, we advised and told you worst case scenario we may need to run wires which would be more than our "original estimate". After you agreed to our services after having 2-previous electricians vanish on you (as told from you), we then scheduled for the following week to do the work. After opening up everything we realized we didn't have to run any additional wires so therefor there wouldn't be any additional charges. As for me and my helper we work very fast in order to accommodate 6-customers in a day. So if you think you got ripped off that's insane as anyone else would have took longer and it would've turned out more in the end. Again being honest and responsive and quick at what we do has given us a negative review for misunderstanding between the estimate that you gladly agreed to. As for the permit I said it could be anywhere up to $175, that didn't mean it was going to be, as every town and city are different. Again another misunderstanding. Anyways best of luck and sorry you had a negative experience with our services. Sincerely E/R Electric Team

They hung the light fixture and said the ceiling fan light couldn't be repaired. After they left the ceiling fan no longer spun in one direction. When I followed up they said it was just coincedence.

Hi sorry you feel this way. I told you to contact the person who originally installed the fan since they supplied the parts they should be responsible. Funny how now we are getting accused of saying it was a coincidence. Thanks ER Electric

We bought the "$160 for 2 Hours of Professional Electrical Labor!" deal and were very pleased with Eddie's and his colleague's work. They checked and fixed bad connections in our outlets, checked the functionality of wall switches, diagnosed problems with recessed lights, and replaced the ceiling chandelier in our dining room. They were very professional, very quick and they cleaned up after themselves (they even took off their snowy shoes at the front door, which I appreciated very much!). Additionally, they were very easy to communicate with, using Angies List messaging/texting/emails and they were quick to respond to all my emails. Two weeks later, we had them come back to do more work. They installed needed sensors in our recessed lights and replaced under-cabinet kitchen lights with new LED lights. Everything works and looks great. We would definitely use them again.

Eddie showed up exactly when he said he would and worked very quickly and professionally.

My experience with E/R Electric was great. Eddie is very responsive, punctual, and professional. All of the work was completed on the day scheduled with the cost per the estimate. - everything went as planned. Eddie even went above the work that was quoted by patching holes in the ceiling after fishing a wire - In the quote this was to be my responsibility, but Eddie took care of it. Overall, I would highly recommend Eddie to anyone looking for electrical work on your existing home.

Great experience with Eddie at E R Electric. He was extremely communicative and responsive. He provided a very reasonable estimate at his first visit, and when he performed the work, he kept the price at the original estimate despite some minor complications in the work. The work was performed quickly (one morning) and very well. Eddie cleaned up everything left over from the job and left the house looking better than before. Overall, E R Electric is highly recommended.
