It turned out to be faulty old switch box that had given out. He was able to identify the problem and fix it quickly (about an hour all in). Would definitely hire him again. Tim is a great electrician and a great guy.
Description of Work: Our ceiling fan stopped working. After putting a new fan in on my own we realized that there was no juice going to the line anymore. The circuit had been interrupted somehow and I couldn't identify why so we called Tim based on his other positive reviews.

The up charges for changes were unreasonable. We felt like he got the job by giving us a good price but then charged us too much when there was a change. He added $1600 to run a wire to the attic when we decided to put a new furnace up there. He also didn't put a light switch by the door, in a mud room when we specified that everything had to be up to code. We had to change the fixture to a sensor light which cost us another $200. We also miss counted closets when we did the contract so he didn't put one in one of the closets. He was also argumentative when we asked for small changes., not an enjoyable working relationship at all.
Description of Work: Complete re-wire of a home being renovated. In the contract we specified the entire home should be up to code. We provided fixtures.

Tim arrived on time and was friendly, informative and worked diligently for several hours until each project was completed to his and my approval. Now all my light fixtures inside and out are working properly and our water heater is now safe to use! It is wonderful to know that all is functioning well and safely and to have our outdoor flood and security lights working once again is a relief. I will definitely utilize Tim for any future electrical work needed in our home.
Description of Work: We had several electrical projects that needed tending to from small to more involved including changing outdoor light fixtures, fixing wiring for our water heater, and replacing dimmers, motion sensor flood lights and doing a general electrical inspection in preparation for our putting our home on the market. He even took care of a couple of bee hives, free of charge!

Mr. wolcott told me a date, about one wk from my phone call. Since i had already called 2 other electricians with no response, just to get the call back was a positive. He called on the date because he was running late and wanted to know if i wanted to reschedule, or was it ok if he just came late? I told him to come on over because I had that day off and he'd wanted me to be available when the chandelier went in, in case he had questions about the chain length etc. He showed up, was very polite and informative. He got right to work and installed the chandelier in a little over an hour. he asked if i was interested in a dimmer (which i was) which he then got from his truck and put that right in also. great job. so, not only did he come on the day he said he would, he called that day when he realized he was running late, then he stayed well after 6pm to finish the job and even installed the dimmer for me. He went over some things about the newer lightbulbs as well. I'd highly recommend him.

Timothy Wolcott did a superb job installing a new 240V circuit to my detached garage (125ft of wire). He was more than happy to have me do some of the work (dig the trench and help feed the line through the crawlspace in part of my house). I did this part of the job myself because it helped save me money and it saved Tim time. In the end, the job was completed in 1 day and I paid for a days labor and materials. I could not be more happy with the way the job was completed and the fair price I was quoted. I will be calling Tim in the future for other electrical work around the house.

Timothy Wolcott Electrical Contractor made the diagnosis so I had to get a plumber and he had to connect it and he is going to come back to hook up my TV. He is very reasonable and he is a star. He had to go through the box and put in a section there and a kill switch and I had no problem paying him. I have no experience with this kind of work but I thought he was very reasonable.
Description of Work: I had two problems, one of them was a problem with the steam shower and they said the steam unit just needed to be hooked up so I called Timothy Wolcott Electrical Contractor and he made the diagnosis and said there was no steam unit and I was going to have to install it.

Timothy was responsive, punctual and friendly. He seemed very knowledgable and worked quickly and efficiently. The first time I hired him he installed a chandelier in my dining room. I called him a few months later for a fan install in my family room. He did a great job both times, and I know I will be hiring him in the future. I have no qualms in recommending him highly. He scores an A all around.

Tim provided extensive analysis of the electrical system in an older house; never easy unless you can see through walls. He was willing to take the time to do that as part of the estimating process, a valuable service. We decided which of the many approaches to creating the electrical hookups for a washer and dryer we wanted, and could afford; Tim reorganized the service panel to to do it cost effectively, and provided ongoing consultation while doing so. A worthwhile business relationship, and with a veteran.

Previous to Tim Wolcott, we had called two other local electricians from Ipswich who; (1) said he would come, never came and then showed up at our house very early one morning to say he would come by soon but was never seen again, and (2); one who came by, started the job, told us it was much bigger than he anticipated and would be back in two weeks to continue and never came back. So.... I found Tim on Angie's List. Smart me. Tim immediately came over and I explained the problem . He told me that there would be some research involved and that it may take a bit of time to figure the problem out and what he billed per hour. Due to the holidays and since it wasn't an emergency we agreed to continue after. Miracle of miracles, he phoned me to make another appointment to continue, exactly as promised. I have to add: I neglected to give Tim a critical piece of the puzzle which didn't occur to me until he had spent time working on the wiring configurations . Had he'd gotten this upfront, there would have been less time involved solving the problem. He asked all the right questions, but wasn't given the correct answer which was the key to the problem. Anyway, once the piece was filled in, he fixed the problem in no time. In addition, there was a last minute undecounter light in our kitchen that wasn't working properly which he also fixed immediately. . I have not yet been billed since he's coming back in the spring to work on the outside outlets. He simply said when all of the work is completed he would bill , but he did give me the $300.00 figure above for his time to date. Tim did an outstanding job start to finish. He was punctual, polite, smart, honest and pleasant . If he said he would call or return, he did. If he was held up, he phoned. He figured out the problem and solved it with ease. I recommend him without reservation.
Description of Work: We have light switches ( 4 way), in separate locations in our house that control our outside lights. They had inadvertly been rewired/unwired so that one of the swiches controlled only one of our 3 outdoor lights and the other controlled none. Not an emergency but very annoying nonetheless. In addition we had an undercounter light that was not working properly in our kitchen.

After my washing machine stopped working and I noticed my circuit breaker went off- I called Mr Walcott and he came within a day or two. He assessed the situation and found the problem to be the washing machine. He never charged me any fee/bill.
