Eddie and Diovani, his helper, worked efficiently, cleaned up after themselves , answered all my questions. and were on time. Eddie has come three times and all three he was right on time which I highly value. Both were upbeat people, smiling. very friendly and professional. The work was done in 90 minutes. One of the smoke detectors was defective. I was willing to wait until they were in the neighborhood again to have it changed. Two days later they were at my doorstep at the time indicated, changed the detector and were on their way. I found Eddie on Angie's list. He came to assess the job and give me an estimate. He gave me the feeling that he really knew his stuff. I had more questions that I emailed to him after he left. He answered each question promptly and clearly. I would have hired him based only on my meeting him and getting an estimate but I had a couple of bonuses: one - his labor charges were the best of three people I received an estimate from and, as it turns out, my neighbor had been using him for five years and gave him high praise. I am joining my voice to that high praise also. He is a keeper - my electrician of choice from now on. I would give him an A+ if that were available.
Description of Work: Installed an outdoor GFI outlet to accomodate two heating coils. They also changed 8 smoke detectors that were 15 years old with new updated ones.

I called and left a message with E/R, and within the hour, the job was done! He and his associate were quick and thorough and very friendly. They found the connection on the fuse box, cut the connection, and remove the fuse switch. All wires leading from the box to the outlet were removed and thrown away. The pipe containing all the wires that ran along my porch was disconnected and discarded. The pipe running under the ground containing the wires was removed and discared. They pulled the wooden post containing the outlet out of the ground and discarded it, as well.
Description of Work: An electrical outlet placed in the yard for an above-ground pool needed to be removed, as we no longer have the pool. They killed the line, removed the post and outlet, all underground pipes, wires in the house, and even the fuse associated with it on our interior electrical box.

E/R Electric contracted with me on a special Angies's List deal to come out and hook up some outside motion sensor lights and connect some wiring in my attic so that I would have some light up there. It took a long time for him to initially respond to me and he said that it was because of all of the response from the special. When he finally did connect with me, his communication was prompt and very courteous. The morning of the work, he arrived a few minutes early, ready to work. He completed the work quickly and neatly. My only complaint is that the motion sensors aren't aimed as well as I would like, but he offered to adjust them when he returns for more work. I intend to rehire him to install a ceiling fan and to run some wiring so that I have an outside outlet in the back yard. After a shaky beginning, it turned out very well.

Eddie and his team member showed up before the appointment and set right to work. They were professional and did a great job. It only cost me an additional $10 for the cost of the romex wire as I had previous purchased the gang box and timer.
Description of Work: Had Eddie install a timer for a replacement bathroom fan. The old fan had the fan and light on the same switch which did not allow the fan to run the recommended 20+ minutes after a shower. I needed ER Electric to install a new electrical gang box to accomodate the new timer and an existing light switch plus run a new line from the new fan to the timer.

When I called him I had a price from another local company. I explained exactly what I needed and I was off on the length of my garage and he had to use a little more cable. I didn't tell them the price that I was quoted previous. I think the problem I had was that it $160 for two hours of professional labor. My local guy came in less than E/R. The only issue I have is that if it was going to more money to let me know. He told me this after the job was completed. Not too pleased about that. My local came and said everythind with parts would be $450. The bottom line is that it was not what he told me it was going to be. He told me $400 max. He did do good work just a little upset about the prices.
Description of Work: They installed 220 outlet to the extension to my garage.

Response from E R Electric
Sorry [member name removed] to hear you were upset. Prior to me doing any work I walked thru and showed you what we were going to do. You wanted 2-220volt plugs 1-indoor and 1-outdoor, (which i was not aware until i showed up) sorry but i was not going to splice into a 220volt circuit especially 50amp (which is illegal). The other quote you got probably didn't know there was 2-220volt circuits involved or else I'm sure his price would've doubled. Not only there was 2-220volt circuits the panel was packed so we had to install mini breakers to make room for the additional circuits (which I also showed you). All this additional work costed more in materials which was all I ended up charging you extra for never mind my extra time involved. Sorry you were upset but next time explain the job more in details (over the phone) so I can give you a more accurate estimate.

I was surprised with the minimum of fuss. I was really amazed with how quickly they were able to get everything done. The work exceeded our expectations. They gave us several options for the outdoor lighting. The work has worked great ever since.
Description of Work: E/R Electric bought new outdoor lighting units and installed them. They explained a problem we were having with the lighting in the kitchen. They repaired an exterior circuit for us that lead to the garage as well.

Eddie is quite communicative and extremely reliable. You can contact him through email and/or the telephone. Eddie arrived at our home on-time. He was scheduled to work two hours. We were prepared to pay extra because we thought it was a good amount of work. Eddie was very pleasant and personable. He changed the light very quickly and expertly. He then changed the wall socket in our bedroom. He answered all questions with a decisiveness and confidence that demonstrated his overall professionalism. After he finished the wall socket he proceeded to install four smoke detectors which covered both the first floor and the third floor. He then proceeded to install two wireless door bells. While we had an issue with those doorbells (one button was faulty and the door bells were quite sensitive, Eddie improvised and found a way to ensure that the bells worked) Eddie finished the work in 95 minutes, which impressed me. We were extremely comfortable with him and would surely recommend him to both friend and stranger. E/R is the real deal. He is an expert and professional at his craft. I suggest everyone one and anyone hire him. We have already hired him again to do more work for us
Description of Work: Eddie performed multiple tasks for us as follows: 1. He changed a ceiling light for us in our den. 2. He changed a faulty wall outlet in our bedroom (it had blown years beforehand) 3. He changed four wired smoke detectors on first and third floors 4. He installed two wireless door bells on the first and third floor

They were quick and only used 1 of the 2 hours I paid for with the Angie's List Big Deal. Then, the parts cost an extra $125. Unfortunately, they would not come back to do the extra hour of work because the coupon says that they must do the work all in one visit. So, I actually paid more than their hourly rate for one hour and paid a lot for extra materials, which was really disappointing. They said that they would charge me $85, reduced from their $100/hr rate if I wanted them to come back for that extra hour, which really didn't make financial sense.
Description of Work: They fixed a light and installed outlets for a garage door.

Response from E R Electric
Dear customer sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the services. The coupon that you purchased said clearly that it was good for 2 hrs for 1 electrician and 1 hr for 2 electricians. That day there were 2 electricians so therefor it was only good for 1 hour. As for the extra materials your husband had us change a damaged 15 amp arc fault breaker that costs $48 never mind the stock we had to use in the garage. Sorry you were dissapointed but we were only doing our job. We were also delayed on payment for over 2 months.

Eddie emailed the day I purchased the Angie's List Deal ($99 for 2 hrs of electrical service) to coordinate a date and time to install the ceiling fan and trouble shoot the electrical issue. He and his assistant arrived on time and installed the ceiling fan promptly. They were very professional. It took an additional 1 hr to troubleshoot the smoke detector problem (they were there 2 hrs total). I was a little surprised about paying another $100 because I thought this was covered in the Angie's List deal but I had not read the fine print that it was $99 for 1 electrician + 2 hrs electrical work OR 2 men + 1 hr of electrical work..... I should have read the fine print.... I am learning this now that I have to do home repairs Overall E/R Electric is fine choice.
Description of Work: I just moved into a new house and wanted a ceiling fan installed. I also was having trouble with my smoke detectors randomly alarming and needed an electrician to troubleshoot the problem.

The electricians arrived on time and I went over the various tasks I needed them to do. They started working on the biggest job (the installation of a new outlet in my garage) first. I had to pay extra ($45) for the materials (the new outlet box), but the labor/installation was free. I hadn't planned for this, but it was completely understandable. Fortunately, they already had the materials in their truck and they removed/disposed of the old outlet and old wiring for me. Once that was finished, they installed a light in my dining room ceiling. I had just purchased 4 new outlets (that were up to code), so they installed those in my kitchen and bathroom. At first, the new outlet in my bathroom wouldn't work. Apparently, some of the wiring in my place was a bit off ---the circuit for that one bathroom was connected to a separate light switch in my garage. But once they discovered that, all of the outlets worked. I was pleased that all of these services were performed at one time and for a good price.
Description of Work: I had recently moved into my new townhouse so I had several small, electrical-related jobs. These included 1) installing a light in my dining room, 2) replacing 4 new outlets in my kitchen & bathroom so they were up to code, 3) installing a new outlet in my garage for my door opener, and 4) removing the old/inapproprite wiring that I had in the garage. I was very pleased with the work and would definitely use E/R Electric again. Since two electricians came at once, they were able to finish the jobs in one hour. (My Angies List coupon was for 2 hours of professional electrical service.) So that was a definite plus, too.

Eddie went above and beyond to make sure the job was done safely and accurately. Eddie encountered several obstacles such as delays with the local power company and scheduling conflicts to get this job done but he followed it through to the end. Not only was he early, finished the work early, but also waitied over 3 hours for the inspector to show up. I highly recommend ER Electric to anyone who is need of electrical services.

Best experience I ever had with any contractor. They were on time, they called to say when they'd be there, they were friendly but extremely professional, and they were FAST. They did everything I asked for at breakneck speed - I've never seen two young men - especially electricians - just plow through tasks, one after the other. They worked well together, bouncing ideas off each other, and were trying hard to leave a great impression and a happy customer. I think I got about 10 relatively small, different jobs done well and done quickly - an incredible value.
Description of Work: Installed wall outlets - 1 in basement wall where others couldn't and 1 to operate exterior back light Replaced outdoor lamp fixture Replaced flood light fixture Installed separate bathroom light switches for light/fan/shower Removed old phone wires Couple of other things, too, I just can't recall right now

Everything went well. He was orderly and kept everything fairly clean. There are a few holes or small damages, but nothing we can't fix ourselves.
Description of Work: On the first visit, Eddie and one helper checked the electrical wiring in house, especially the area that was causing a curcuit breaker to shut off. He tested all of our outlets and changed any of the outlets that weren't white so that all are now white, as well as, reinforcing the ones that needed it. He wrote up a proposal to install a bathroom vent. On the second visit he installed a vent kit which included roughing it in and ducting it to the outside. He installed a vent that we purchased. He also installed one 200mp circuit for GPI snaked through the inside of the house.

Eddie was prompt in scheduling and providing an estimate for work. He was very pleasant to deal with. He and his partner/employee showed up on time and completed the work in a timely fashion. They did a fine job, their rates were reasonable, and the final price did not deviate from the estimate. I'd have no problem calling them for other electrical work. I wish they'd cleaned up after themselves a bit better. I expected to have to patch holes and was fine with that, but my cabinet, sink, and tub were covered in dust and debris. I also don't think it's right to ask clients to make a check out to an individual for work performed professionally, especially when I see a partner or employee in the picture. These two things are reflected in the "professionalism" grade, but they're not fatal flaws that can't be remedied.
Description of Work: Several overall system updates like replacing old/bad wiring, changing outlets near water to GFCIs, running new wires where necessary. Installed new switch. Put lights on an existing switch.
