Two men showed up, on time ( a little early, in fact!). I had a list of things that needed fixing on the inside and outside, so I thought the would get to maybe two or three things, then I'd have to pay an arm and a leg for the rest that would NOT be included in the alotted time...Boy, was I WRONG! By the time I walked one of them through my house to show the issues, one was already working and fixed one of them! They whizzed through my list of electrical 'to do's' so fast I couldn't believe it! The only thing that wasn't done was going to require some construction, but I am DEFINITELY calling these guys when we're ready!...., In the end, the only extra charges were for parts they had and used to fix our problems, so another $65 well spent! (Especially when I thought it would be a couple hundred more!!!) I am recommending them to everyone I know! They traveled from NH to work a bunch of jobs in the area all day...and were courteous, pleasant, accomodating, explained all of the problems, what they did to fix them, how to prevent certain issues from happening again...I truly cannot say enough about them! Two words "hire them'! You won't be disappointed!
Description of Work: A list of electrical issues inside and outside...outlets, to outside lamps, to blown circuits.

They were fine and did what they were supposed to do. It was a fine experience. Based on the amount of deals, there was a bit of a delay in scheduling the work.

Description of Work: They were great. Came within a few days. Did the job quickly and efficiently. They were pleasant young men. They put in a new thermostat. They only charged for the new thermostat (about $40 and the stated price for their service altogether about $140. I'd call them again.

I had purchased big deal on Angie's for ER. Eddie was of course busy but was very prompt on emailing me to set up an appointment. I had to replace a thermostat and install sensor lights outside my garage. We had discussed the work that had to be performed on the day of the appointment via emails. He was able to let me know what could be the potential problem and told me in advance the things that he would need when he arrives so there was no delay and he can start right away. He was prompt (in fact an hour early ) on the day of the appointment, was very professional and finished the work on time without any delays. I would use him again but unfortunately he is not in MA anymore and works from NH. But he came all the way to honor the appointment and the deal.

They did a great job! Eddie and his co-worker worked well together, were very friendly and professional, and did fine work on the job assigned. They communicated well with each other and with us; we weren't able (structurally) to put the light exactly where we thought we could, but we worked together to problem solve the best place and they readily did what was needed to place the line and light fixture where we wanted it. We are very happy with the results and the experience as a whole. We had purchased the Angie's List Deal offered by them: 2 hours for $99. I believe my husband offered to pay them a bit more to stay a bit longer. We definitely got more than our money's worth and will definitely call them again if we need any more electrical work done!
Description of Work: We needed to have a new electrical line run to the back patio outdoors and a new electric switch in the kitchen, so we could install a floodlight for the backyard.

Excellent. The original quote was less than the $425 I paid, but the original quote was based on trouble shooting the problem with the bathroom fan. When it was determined that the fan/light needed to be replaced, I went to a big box store and purchased a replacement unit. Eddie and his assistant then completed the work in two hours. They cleaned up and my wife and I are pleased with the work.
Description of Work: Asked Eddie to troubleshoot and, if necessary, replace a bathroom fan/light unit. Also asked him to install a switch for an attic ceiling fan. Arrived at 8:00 A.M as scheduled. Took him and his assistant two hours to finish the work. Also replaced a light switch in the attic at his own initiative.

It took a while to schedule, but that was ok by me. Once we had schedule and work, Eddie was great with being flexible with all the little jobs I wanted to get done. It took longer than the 2 hour special, but he stayed until the job was done. I was happy to pay the extra time. It was worth it to get all these little fixes done at once. The only suggestion I would make is on the clean up. I found lots of wire trimmings that I had to clean up. Not a big deal but something that I would expect from a contractor is to leave a job site as you found it. Overall, I would definitely work with E/R Electric again.
Description of Work: Relaxed outdoor plug with up to date weather cover/receptacle. Replaced several recessed light fixtures in main living areas. Replaced outdoor floodlight. Replaced ballasts and bulbs to fix fluorescent lighting in basement. Replaced basement receptacle. Repaired garage door opener by replacing sensors.

Eddie is very personable and friendly. He was easy to communicate with and arrived exactly when he said he would every time. The wiring on a few ceiling boxes were confusing. Eddie came back and installed one fixture without hesitating, one is still mixed up but I think it's our fault that we didn't ask him to install a new box since it is an older style. We would hire him again without hesitation!

Well, it is a pleasure writing a review of Eddie's work. Excellent service from beginning to the end. I solicited quotes from a few companies on Angie's list. They did't come in as promptly as I had hoped. Eddie however was the first to get back to me in the time he had mentioned. His quote for the work seemed reasonable, but I had to ask him to wait for my decision until some other companies got back to me with their quotes. He did so patiently. And before I decided, Eddie actually called me to say that he had learned the heating cable he'd need for the job was on sale so he dropped the quote by $100! Of course, people change so there is no guarantee my experience with E/R Electric will be the same as yours, but you have to start somewhere and based on my experience with him, I highly recommend Eddie Rodriques of E/R Electric for your electrical work.
Description of Work: I wanted heating cables installed on my roof to prevent ice dams from forming during the winter. I also wanted a light installed on a beam with a dimmer switch in a location that already had two switches. After I received the quote, Eddie also agreed to install another dimmer switch as a replacement for the switch currently in the box. I just had to supply the dimmer switches. On his own initiative Eddie used the heating cable he had left over after finishing the main house roof to cable a smaller roof over our kitchen area! I had not requested this, but I was pleased he was able to include this at no additional cost to me. Finally Eddie tied the heating cable into a switch box he installed with a red on/off light at the main breaker box in the cellar.

I originally did business with E/R Electric after purchasing a coupon thru Angie's deals. I was so happy with the work that I asked for a proposal to update the electrical panel in my garage. I received a proposal promptly. The price was reasonable and I knew his work ethic was great. He arrived on time, planned for supplies in advance, completed the work quickly and was very professional throughout the process. It was great getting great service with a coupon but Eddie and his team are worth the full price!

I had contacted E/R after seeing a promotion in Angie's LIst. it clearly was a very popular offer because it backed up Eddie quite a bit. Since my job was nothing urgent, I periodically contacted him to see when he could come. Once he got through his backlog, he was able to make an appointment for the following week. Once the appointment was set, we went back and forth a number of times via email figuring out how he would reach that fan. I sent pictures of the fan's location, set up a ladder all the way to the ceiling and photographed it demonstrating that it could not be moved close enough to the fan, etc. He was VERY patient and cordial despite the many emails the discussion took. Eddie came today with his assistant and arrived about 5 minutes before the scheduled time. After shimmying out to the fan on plank connected to my ladder, they discovered there was nothing wrong with the fan's connection, but rather a bad wall switch. The other part of the job was to snake a new wire to a dead wall outlet, which took longer than expected, and really did require two men to work on it simultaneously. (I had expressed concern before they arrived about two hours of labor being used up too quickly when two men work on one job.) The job took about an hour and a quarter, but Eddie was kind and generous enough recognizing my price sensitivity to only charge the original two hour rate, plus the cost of parts. Eddie was warm and friendly, competent, careful about not damaging any walls or surfaces, etc. I am very pleased to have found him, and plan to recommend him to other neighbors in our condo complex.
Description of Work: The ceiling fan on a 14 foot high cathedral ceiling had stopped working, and one wall outlet in the kitchen was dead.

We set up the visit via email (so it was in writing). Eddie and his worker, showed up on time and worked very quickly and efficiently to disconnect the ceiling fans (two different rooms). It's apparent that these two people have worked together for a long time. One person went up on the ladder to do the "up" work, and the other stayed on the ground, assembling the fans and handing tools to the one on the ladder. A couple of times, the worker went to ask for a tool, and the other one was already handing it up to him. After the new fans were installed, they cleaned up the area, and took the old fans and packaging out to the curb for garbage pick up (that day). Both men were courteous, and I felt comfortable having them in my home. I plan on using this company for any future electrical work that I need done, and have already recommended them to friends of mine who are buying a house.

I had purchased the Big Deal for this vendor. He made significant effort to call and let me know that he was aware of my purchase and to schedule a time for service. He arrived prompt;ly and had another worker with him. They were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I had a punchlist of electrical repairs that I needed done and they took care of all of them n the time allowed under the coupon. I was so happy with their work that I am getting an estimate to have my garage setup with power for lights, tools and a garage door opener

It went great! Eddie and his assistant were very friendly and professional. See previous comments for details.
Description of Work: Eddie contacted me right after I purchased this Big Deal. It took about a month before they were in my area, so this might have been an issue if I was in a hurry but I was not. I had four new outlets installed to alleviate the use of extension cords. It's one of those things I've been wanting to do for a couple of years but didn't think the cost would be worth it. Well this Big Deal was the perfect solution - 2 hrs of electrical work for $99. So, needless to say I didn't mind the short wait for services. Eddie and his assistant showed up at the beginning of there 1 Hour window - I wish other companies could do that! - and finished up quickly and neatly. I am very satisfied with their work. P.S. The extra $45 was for materials.

Eddie was very responsive in terms of communication and scheduling. It took a little while to get the appointment booked due to conflicting schedules (both his and mine), but I appreciated the follow ups and responsiveness. On the day of the job he and his assistant showed up on time and after assessing all items that needed to be addressed, his assistant began work while Eddie left to pick up needed materials. They worked quickly and efficiently and every thing was tested and works! I recommended Eddie for your home electrical needs.

Excellent. Eddie was _extremely_ responsive to my emails and questions up front, which was very helpful so that I could plan out what needed to be done and what parts I might need before he arrived so time was wasted installing over multiple trips. When he arrived (to the minute on time), he and his partner were extremely quick, professional, and did an excellent job.. Service was very fast. I would use again.

Eddie is fantastic. We planned the appointment 2 weeks ahead and he came on time with another man to assist him. They worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned up as best as they could afterward. *He always responded to all of my emails (I had a lot of questions while I was shopping for lights), something that was a problem with other contractors. He is really friendly and down-to-earth.
Description of Work: I had: a new outlet installed in my office, 3 lights installed in the attic with a switch on my interior wall, a switch added to the bottom of my stairs to operate the light at the top, a light installed on my cellar stairs, and a light installed on my back porch. He had to go into the attic and send wires down, as well as "rough in" wires for some of the tasks. Wasting no time, they did it in about 4 hours.
