Peg fixed it. She investigated thoroughly, finding the sub-circuit that was the problem, and she dealt with the issues so that everything was secure and safe. And best of all, I could turn the power back on -- the firefighters I called when my light started smoking turned off all the electricity. In the dead of winter that is not a very pleasant situation to be in. Later, I had a partial power outage and I called her for advice. She returned my call from the runway, where she was about to go on vacation! Her diagnosis in that situation was correct also (it was a power company issue).
Description of Work: I had ice dam leaking that affected my wiring, short-circuiting a ceiling fixture.

Prior to doing the work, Ms. Preble provided an on-site review, advice, and estimate. On the agreed work date, she arrived on time, had the necessary equipment, had cut and painted in advance the wood panel in which the LED fixtures needed to be placed, completed the work in a very timely and accurate fashion, and charged the previously agreed-to cost for the work. She was a pleasure to deal with; was creative in problem solving; and did a neat and careful replacement. We would highly recommend her for your future electrical work.
Description of Work: 1. Conversion of fluorescent light fixture above kitchen sink into LED fixtures as well as minor carpentry work to accommodate these. 2. Conversion of fluorescent light fixture in garage into LED fixture and bringing wiring up to code.

I am completely satisfied with the work. Peg did a great job and was able to identify and correct problems that were unknown to me. I feel that Peg was honest in her assessments and fair with her pricing. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of electrical work.

We didn't have time to use her but totally wished we could've!
Description of Work: Called to inquiry about her services and availabilty. The electrician was very knowledgeable and spent more than 20 minutes consulting on a Knob and Tube matter. Sadly and not surprisingly,Peg was booked up and could only start after our needed time. Otherwise, we would have totally went with her.

The job took a long while since Peg was working alone-- she spent about 2 days per condo over the period of a month. She did an excellent job in my condo (Unit 1, a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit on the first floor), being especially careful about where she drilled into the walls to do the least amount of patch-up work. As the condo trustee, I can also speak on behalf of the other two units, who were also very pleased with Peg's work. This was the first thing we had her work on for us, and she became our go-to electrician for any work we needed done in the building. She is very good at what she does and is honest in her business practices and fair in her pricing/billing. Peg is very good with communication, but only checks email in the evenings and prefers phone calls throughout the day if necessary.
Description of Work: Peg totally overhauled our electrical system in order to remove all knob and tube wiring from our old house-turned-condos. To do this, she had to work individually between our three condos, dealing with wiring from the basement, through our walls and floors, to the third floor attic. She also supplied us with written statements of her work to supply to our insurance company, which was important since they had required us to undertake this huge project to minimize the risk in our property.

Peg was great - professional, competent, low-key. Does not recommend work you don't need. We have an old house with a hidge-podge of wiring from all eras, including knob and tube. Needed an electrician that knew how to handle it and wouldn't just recommend rewiring the whole house. Peg was perfect - she respected that we were trying to preserve/restore, yet advised us when this wouldn't be safe. Conscientious and thorough - discovered some bits of shoddy work from a previous electrician and fixed them no charge "because it just bothers me to leave behind things looking like that." Prompt, professional: calls the night before to confirm next day's appt. Only downside: slow turnaround time - we had to wait weeks and weeks (but then again, we weren't an urgent case). Price seemed highish but fair. I've paid more for lower quality electrical work (the guy whose mistakes she fixed). Definitely got our money's worth.
Description of Work: The following work was done in an old house with a mixture of wiring types (knob & tube. mid-century, modern, etc): installed wall sconces, replaced two ceiling fixures that had been hung on antique gas fittings, replaced chandelier and antique switches, fixed faulty antique ceiling pendant.

I would recommend Peg to anyone. She was prompt, professional, neat and efficient. Everything works great, and looks great. She even gave us advice for dealing with the fire in our home: preparing us for what would happen next, etc. This was especially helpful, given how stressful it was to have a fire in our home. I recommend her highly.

The electrician showed up at the scheduled time and is a very nice person. She is very capable at her job and I have used her in the past for several other jobs and have never had a problem. Everything works just great. The job took about 8 hours. We would recommend her to a friend.
Description of Work: She installed about six ceiling light fixtures and an exterior pole light. She also wired six or more switches to eliminate pull cords on the ceiling fixtures.
