John is responsive, punctual, and hard-working. Does high-quality work at a very reasonable price. Definitely goes above and beyond. He went through my basement looking at the wiring and the electrical panel to make sure everything was in good shape since we had recently moved in. Have hired him multiple times and will continue to hire him.
Description of Work: Had a few odd jobs around a house we recently purchased (replacing outlets, fixing bathroom fan, etc.).

This was an emergency as it impacted our heating system. John was very responsive and was able to break away from a job nearby to get us back online. He not only fixed the immediate issue but helped us understand why it happened so we can address the underlying problem.

I highly recommend John Butler. He is very professional, personable, friendly and extremely knowledgeable and I will not hesitate to hire him again. I plan on recommending him to my family and friends. Being on a strict budget John was very honest and up front and able to accommodate me. He is highly proficient, well prepareed and coupled with decades of experience. John's expertise makes him an asset to Angie's list.com. Having had many previous bad experiences with electricians, Jonh has single handedly turned that around. Simply put, John is the Best of the Best. Job well done.
Description of Work: My house is over 100 years old and John evaluated old wiring. He disconnected outdated dangerous wiring in my kitchen and then ran a new dedicated plug from the Circuit panel in the cellar to the kitchen to power refrigerator. He also checked existing outlet in the my palor and identified safety issues and made recommendations.

John and his son came out the next day to assess the situation and gave us several options. We decided to remove the light/fan combo and cap the fixture, based on John's recommendation. On his first visit, John and his son replaced some faulty circuit breakers and wiring. He promised to return three days later to complete the capping of the fixture. We took the time to reconsider options and flip-flopped a bit, but John was completely patient and flexible with whatever we decided. He returned as promised and completed the job on time and on budget. He is a pleasant, knowledgeable electrician and his son is a fine young man. We are 100% satisfied with all aspects of the work performed and will hire John again without hesitation.
Description of Work: We had an overhead light/fan combo that was arcing and tripping the circuit breaker.

It really couldn't have gone any better. John is very experienced in everything electrical, and in particular, his knowledge of how older structures are built and wired. My house is over 100yrs old and I have lived in it for over 20 years and learned things about it from John that I didn't know. He is very honest and straightforward and makes every effort to save you money, and at the same time not cut corners. He is meticulous and precise in his approach to his work. I had read about him on Angie's list and all the good things said about him were absolutely true. He completed all the jobs as promised and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would definitely call on him again if needed and will recommend him to family and friends.
Description of Work: Upgrade old light switches with dimmers to control new LED lighting in my kitchen. Also, replace old receptacle with new GFI receptacle in kitchen near sink. Also, consulted on replacement of light fixtures for kitchen. Made some safety improvements on recently installed new 200amp service. Checked existing circuits for proper wiring.

First time using John and I am very happy with the work. He came out the day of my call and gave me an estimate on the spot. He was very knowledgeable and had some tips on saving me money. John walked me through everything he was going to do and explained things very clearly. He was able to come a few days later to do the work. He showed up right on time, got to work and finished earlier than anticipated. He charged me a very fair price and I will now use John as my go-to electrician. Thanks John!
Description of Work: Installed three lines from main panel to my workshop in garage. One line was to overhead track lights (with switch). One line went to dedicated outlet for space heater, and one line went to workbench with four separate outlets. Mixture of conduit and flex pipe.

Couldn't have gone better! John is an outstanding electrician and an all-around stand-up guy. His work is the highest quality! I can't say enough good things about John - I've already started referring friends to him, and plan to continue doing so. Hands down one of the best electricians I've ever hired, and just a really great, hard working guy.

Great experience. Very professional and friendly. Came when promised and actually was able to squeeze me in even though he had a very busy schedule. Explained everything that he was going to do and then finished the job quickly, cleanly and accurately. Wish more service providers were like this. Going to recommend him to the neighbors, for when they need an electrician. He also gave me the Angie's List 10% discount, even though I didn't know there was one. Really appreciate his honesty!

John has been doing work for us for years and is one of our most trusted contractors (our roof/exterior guy is the other.) He's done rewiring of entire rooms, random overhead lights, a bath vent fan, exterior outlets, lights and power for my workbench, ceiling fans, I forget what else. John's first job for us was sometime around 2006. Everything has been perfect, no complaints, and a price more than fair.
Description of Work: Several ceiling track lights, light for pool table, all appropriate romex, switches, etc.

This was the third time John has worked with me on my home. The first two times were much larger jobs, and his service was so good I didn't hesitate a single moment in giving him a call for a smaller job. The largest job he did for me was to rewire roughly one half of my third floor after a nearby summer lightning strike shorted the circuitry out. Having an older house is a challenge at times, and John upgrade the electrical wiring to current code, installed a new breaker box, and worked with me planning new light and outlet locations. It is so great to not have to walk across the room to turn on a light. One challenge John rose to was the summer heat while swimming through blown in attic insulation. Another was navigating a house that once had gas tubing laid for light fixtures. He handled the heat and insulation professionally, was prompt and on time, happy to explain any detail I wanted to know more about, patched walls, and thoroughly cleaned up afterwards.
Description of Work: John replaced a light switch and moved an oddly placed electrical outlet on my first floor.

This is our first time hiring this electrician, John J. Butler. He is personable and thoroughly explained the process involved to wire a new electrical water heater.

We would hire him again.

Installed breaker and wire into electrical panel. Pulled electrical permit. Met with electrical inspector -- worked approved.
