It went just about perfectly. Eddie is very responsive and professional. He showed up on time and got everything done in the timeframe we planned. He and the guy he was working with both worked very hard to get things done quickly and properly. It was pretty amazing to watch - they are quite skilled at running wires behind walls while making only minimal holes to be patched up later.
Description of Work: Replaced dimmers and switches for fans, ran wires for security cameras in the wall.

To put it simply, this experience was phenomenal. Eddie came to provide a quote right for what i was originally planning on just installing new lighting and a new panel. After demolition I found that my electrical was completely out dated, and needed a full overhaul. No questions asked, Eddie upgraded the whole system with his assistant. All this work was done within 4 1/2 hours. Unbelievable. I have been and will be recommending E/R electric to all of my friends and colleagues. Also, I find communication very important. Eddie has always responded to an email, text or phone call right away. This is certainly not the norm.
Description of Work: I had Eddie completely re-wire my kitchen, install new recessed lighting and increase my electrical panel size.

Eddie Rodrigues from E/R Electric was excellent. He first scheduled an appointment at our apartment to understand the job and develop a quote. Eddie emailed the quote within two days of his visit. On the scheduled work day, Eddie arrived 15 min early. He and his partner worked quickly and efficiently without breaks. When the job was finished, they cleaned up after themselves. This included vacuuming our apartment. Before leaving, they also tested each item they had installed and went over the job with me. I would recommend E/R to my friends. We also plan to use them when it comes time to install new lighting in our apartment.
Description of Work: E/R replaced our main circuit breaker panel, all light switches, and all outlets.

Hi thanks for not understanding our hectic hours. I told you we can contact you very late if you'd like but figured that wouldn't be appropriate. I've been in contact since the moment you purchased the coupon within 5mins. I've given you our earliest availability and you have not responded back and then you want to talk bad about us. Sorry but we've reached out and still no response. Thanks again and best of luck! ER

Two guys came for 45 minutes to an hour and left. There is not a a problem with this but the coupon is deceiving. The fine print says that it is 2 hours of work and that 2 guys come for 1 hour. I would recommend revising the coupon to say 2 workers for 1 hour. It seems like to is worded the way it is to make it seem more like a deal and have people purchase it rather than actually fully explaining in the header what the coupon actually offers. I would not have purchased the deal if I knew it was for only an hour.
Description of Work: I bought a coupon for 200 dollars of work for 160 over 2 hours.

Hi [name removed], sorry to hear this. Unfortunately its marked on the fine print just like everything else we purchase on a daily basis. We showed up 15 mins early and we diagnosed the work you requested. We happen to work fast and we even asked if there was anything else you needed and you said no. We then packed up and went on to our next customer. Im sorry if you were not happy but we did do what we were told, we even provided an estimate for additional work you requested. E/R

Eddie and his associate called prior to arrival and informed me that they could come early if appropriate. I obliged and they showed within 30 min to introduce themselves. We did a walk-through of the work discussed and they wasted no time getting after it. The two worked efficiently as a team as one of the two had to enter the attic. The work took between 90 minutes and two hours at which point they called me upstairs for my approval. After I approved, they cleaned up and left no mess. I would say everything was professional and transparent. Oh, and the work was perfect too!
Description of Work: Removed and replaced an old ceiling fan in the bathroom, installed a new vanity light, and installed a new switch.

They arrived on time, went straight to work and when they were done with the hour that I had paid for in the deal we asked for an estimate for some other work and they gave us the same deal for the next hour and did it then and there. We will be bringing them back soon to do a bit more work!
Description of Work: Installed 5 light fixtures, swapped out most of our outlets for tamper resistant ones and repaired a few of the eletrical boxes in our downstairs that were a little loose.

We are in the process of upgrading our house and are in need of some electrical work along the way. We are currently gutting out a bedroom, insulating, and sheetrocking. We were in need of an electrician and turned to angie'slist.com. Eddie at E/R electric emailed me back and confirmed our appointment very promptly. On the day of the schedule work, he arrived right on time and went to work almost immediately. I showed him the work I hoped to have done, he made a few suggestions and got started. He was very upfront and honest w/ the cost of the project and even provided me w/ some quotes for future work that I will need completed. I look forward to using this company again.
Description of Work: Eddie moved some plugs from the baseboard to the traditional location our wall. He installed a ceiling fan and provided a new switch and hook up for a light in our bedroom closet.

Eddie arrived early for our scheduled job. He was quick to setup and get to work on the ceiling fans. When contacting other electricians through Angie's List, every other one said they'd have to rent staging to reach the ceiling fans in my house which added about $400 in cost to the job. Eddie showed up with a few ladders and easily completed the job. He also identified that a buzzing sound coming from the fans was due to bad switches which he quickly swapped out for me (and he was right it did fix the issue). He also fixed a recessed light that had a damaged thermal coupler. I had a few switches that were troublesome that were fixed and then a few dimmer switches replaced as well. Will definitely use E/R Electric again
Description of Work: 3 Ceiling Fans were replaced on 18ft ceilings, fixed a recessed light, troubleshot various switch problems and replaced switches as needed

Hi [removed member name] I can't believe you have mistaken us for someone else. I have never worked for you and we have tried contacting you regarding this review and have had no luck. My helper is 20-years older than me, and we would've never done the work described for that price. We always show up on time, never complain about parking and we always clean up. Sincerely E/R

I purchased a Big Deal, which gave me two hours of electrical work (in this case, one hour with two electrians). From the moment I purchased it, Eddie was quick to email to inquire about my needs and to get something scheduled. He was out with his colleague yesterday, and they were able to replace two old ceiling fans with new ones. He also quickly swapped out an old bathroom light fixture. He was not able to stay much past the scheduled time due to other appointments, but I was pleased with his responsiveness, professionalism, and work so I have already inquired about some additional work.
Description of Work: Replaced two ceiling fans and one light fixture.

E/R was great, timely, and efficient. They appear to prefer to communicate via text and email, so don't get put off by that. When you meet them you will be pleased with their friendly and respectful manner. And they clean up after their work. I was amazed when they asked for a broom and begin to clean all of the areas where they had worked. My ceiling fan, chandlier, and cable outlet are all working great. I highly recommend E/R Electric.

It went well considering he didn't have to come down and do anything. I was glad he offered advice though he was not available. Which makes sense when calling for help on a Saturday at 4pm. I now know who to call first when in a bind.
Description of Work: I was frantic for help on a saturday afternoon. I emailed him the details as I knew them. And he promptly replied. He wasn't able to come down that day. But he also provided advice as to what I could try to do the help myself. And I appreciate that it wasn't a terse "I can't make it". This tells me he is a person that want's to help. It turns out the problem was outside the house and NSTAR took care of it.

I had the kind of tiny electrical job that wouldn't even get a call back from other electricians. Not only did Eddie call me back and provide a free estimate, I couldn't be more pleased with his work and his professionalism. I will unquestionably use him in the future! Fast response time. Super easy communication. Punctual. Fairly priced. Outstanding!

Eddie arrived on time and was professional and pleasant. We went to the basement where he checked the wiring. We then went upstairs to look at a fire alarm; he tightened the alarm for me. Back to the kitchen where he requested a check for $250. He was in my house for under ten minutes and I thought that perhaps the initial $250 would be included in the final fee for the job. Eddie said that the job would take all day with one other worker and it would be $1,500. He returned with a partner and was done in two hours, but the job was still $1,500. Eddie's public response to the above review on Angie's List was markedly different in tone from his initial private email sent to me. I do not think the difference is a simple "misunderstanding". Below is the text of Eddie's email to me and my response to it. On Jul 3, 2014, at 10:12 AM, e.r_electric@yahoo.com wrote: Thanks for the rude review. I said it "could" take a whole day never said it would definitely. Appreciate your disrespect to my hard earn work. I will warn other electricians about that household. We wrote back: You are welcome. I said absolutely nothing about the work you did. What was at issue was the cost. Feel free to" warn any and all electricians about our household"

Hi, sorry if there was a misunderstanding when we first communicated. My secretary told you when you scheduled the appointment, that there would be a $250 fee to see if you had any active knob and tube wiring which needed to be paid the day of the inspection. As for the rewiring of the knob and tube I said it "could" take up to a day but maybe sooner as me and my employee work very fast and efficient. I provided you with a flat fee of $1500 which you agreed to and knew that the first visit did not apply towards the actual work needed. I basically rewired your very outdated unsafe knob and tube wiring into new romex and made your house safer within 3-hrs to be exact, and then you make these stunning comments about us. I guess no matter how hard you try it's never enough.
