I was impressed by his detective work. These were small but lingering problems that had been around for a while; he was very efficient in diagnosing the problems, tracing lines, and properly connecting the circuit that another electrician had messed up. A lot of electricians can't be bothered with minor work like this; that it was covered under my contract and cost nothing extra was a bonus.
Description of Work: traced and fixed 3 electrical outlets that were not working. 2 were connected to a gfci outlet that had tripped on the other side of my house and that I had not realized were on the same circuit. one had not been properly connected, faulty work by a prior electrician. This work was covered by a service plan from HomeServe that I pay $6/month for, so there was no additional cost.

I contacted JP O'Brien via e-mail in October 2015 to get an estimate on a small electrical job in our home. It took 4 days for Joseph to respond to my note but he did and we scheduled a time for about 5 days later for him to come out and take a look. He did come to take a look quickly and told us he would get back in touch with an estimate. We never heard back from him again. I followed up with a note with no response. It would have been fine if he could have sent a quick note to let us know he would not be able to do the job. I assumed our job was too small. From a customer service standpoint,all it would have taken was an honest and brief response. Very unfortunate as the reviews for this vendor were really high and this is why I had chosen them.
Description of Work: No work done. Came out to take a look for an estimate and we never heard back from him ever again.

We have a 150+ year-old house badly in need of an electrical upgrade. Joseph was very professional and easy to work with. We had to postpone the work because of other work we were getting done but we were able to get a date that was acceptable to each of us. For the most part, he and his men worked quickly and efficiently. There were some mishaps along the way, including some fixtures that were not rewired and one of his guys putting his foot through the second floor ceiling. But Joseph resolved all issues free of charge and without haggling. He paid to have the ceiling properly repaired. We are happy with his work and would use him again.

Although we didn't end up using JP O'Brien because of their higher cost, they were extremely responsive and prompt when contacted to provide a quote. They came out the same day to look at the property, and I had a quote later that night. I'd definitely contact them again for future work because of their professionalism and responsiveness.

It was okay. It was awhile ago. I think he was prompt in his response but he did a kind of incomplete assessment, he didn't go to all the areas of my house but it was adequate. They did come out soon after the purchase date. I tried to contact them to actually do service on some of the things that they had pointed out that needed to be done and I actually had a poor response during that call so during the Angie's List purchase about doing the electrical assessment they were prompt but when I went to actually have the services done they weren't. It was sometime in March or April so I probably booked them in April. There were no additional charges. It was the follow up and the fact that they didn't do, it wasn't attached to the house but another component it had an electrical portion that I wanted them to assess. They gave me a print out of their assessment. It's hard to know because their the experts doing the evaluation. There were some things that were found later on that I did call them back about trying to fix but again they did have a poor response so maybe a B for quality. I would give them a B for professionalism because of the poor response and would not use them again because of it.
Description of Work: They did a whole house electrical inspection.

Eventually it was fine. I had to call several times. I had to call them at least twice or three times to finally get it. It took a few weeks. It wasn't ideal but eventually I got what I needed. They did it just for the price of the "Big Deal." Because I had so much trouble just getting an estimate from them, I decided not to use them for the actual work. They did show up. I would possibly use them in the future. They seemed to know what they're talking about.
Description of Work: I purchased a "Big Deal" for JP O'Brien Electric LLP. They came to check on a number of things I needed done. They said they'll send me an estimate by itemizing everything.

Joe was very easy to work with and fit me with an appointment quickly. He was very knowledgeable and did a thorough inspection of my breaker box, tested GFI outlets, went up to the attic to view wiring there, inspected main panel at the service entry, etc. I plan on addressing the issues we found and will use JP Obrien Electric again in the future if needed.

I cannot say enough positive things about working with JP O'Brien electric. Joesph came out to provide us with an estimate the morning after Christmas and took the time to inspect our electric panel and test every outlet in our house to get a rough idea of how much knob and tube wiring our house had (none of the other electricians we had contacted did this). He quickly provided us with an itemized estimate which we thoroughly appreciated. The work was completed on time and Joesph was great about keeping us informed on the progress of the work, let us know about any challenges or problems that arose (additional knob and tube wiring was found in light fixtures and switches that couldn't be detected without removing them and visually inspecting), and was incredibly flexible whenever we had any additional requests. I felt like we received very high quality work at a very reasonable price and would highly recommend JP O'Brien to anyone in need of an electrician.
Description of Work: Removed knob and tube wiring Moved all outlets from baseboards Upgraded service and panel to 200 amps Provided additional outlets in 7 rooms Wired coaxial cable outlets Moved light switches Installed ceiling fans Installed dryer outlet Installed motion sensor lights in front and rear of house Installed outlet on exterior of house Fixed outlets with reverse polarity Installed chandelier

Joe (I believe that was his first name) arrived on time to diagnose a problem with my front porch lights. The lights would come on for a second and trip the breaker and go off. Unfortunately discovered the problem on Halloween night. No kids would come to the house as the light was off, etc. But Joe figured out the problem pretty quickly. After opening the inside access panel, he discovered some squirrel bitten wires. There were 3 bare wires as the animals had dined on the insulation and found it quite tasty. The problem was fixed pronto and we were fully functional in no time. I still have the Halloween candy ready in case the kids want to redeem their rain checks. But seriously, Joe did a great job, was on time, price was reasonable, was professional and answered all my questions. He also did a quick sanity check on my other exterior lights as well. I would definitely call him for any future electrical needs.

We had sudden damage to the house. Dave and Steve: * Promptly assessed the work, and laid out my options. * Worked with my insurance adjuster to provide the justification that the insurance company needed for the work. * Performed the work in a predictable, high quality fashion. * Showed up on short notice when other contractors messed up their wiring -- once my GC accidentally cut a new wire with a sawzall, once the tiling people were about to tile over the light outlet, and had not told me they needed the electrician to show up that day! Throughout, Dave and Steve were easy to work with, and very respectful and clean in my house (they were at our house for weeks). In this repair work, I worked with tradesmen from 7 different trades. Dave and Steve were my best tradesmen.
Description of Work: Dave, one of the partners, worked with me over the course of 4 months to address an insurance issue. We had a broken pipe that destroyed the walls, ceiling and floors of a section of our house. The damage exposed old wiring that was not to code. Dave and Steve upgraded the wiring of the house, and worked with me to make sure their work was covered by my insurance claim.

That was fine. It was right away. I would say he was on time, wasn't late and was polite. I will not use them again only because there is just so many more to chose from.
Description of Work: It was a Big Deal. He just went over and looked at my circuit breakers, outlets, to see if I needed to change wires and that kind of thing.

We first called Joe when we had something go wrong with the washer/dryer connections. Joe came in the next day and quickly fixed the problem. Since he was already onsite and had some time available, he agreed to fix a circuit that wasn't working. He worked on it as much as the schedule allowed, then came back a few days later and got it fixed. While he was here, he gave us quotes on installing recessed lighting in the living/dining/kitchen areas + installing backyard lighting. He arrived with his team on time and got the job done, even cleaned the work areas before leaving. Fixtures used were top-notch (LED and all). Joe and his team were always on time; gave me options, recommendations and pricing. Work performed was consistently high quality - very professional. Highly recommended: A+

I originally hired JP O'Brien to do an electric inspection after purchasing our new home. After going through the inspection with Joe, I knew we had found our electrician. I knew from the home inspection we had a few issues here and there (which he found) but ultimately, I wanted to find a good electrician to make our home safer for our new family. We had a lot of BX wiring (electrical cloth wrapped wire inside a metal tube) and it just wasn't safe for some of the lighting fixtures we wanted to install. The worked performed by JP O'Brien was great. Very minimal damage to our horse hair plaster walls and ceiling. They cut holes only when needed and kept dust minimal. Joe walked me through what he was going to do before he started the work and marked every new outlet on the walls. They took their time and actually were thoughtful in the work they performed. I couldn't be more satisfied with the work. We will be hiring them again.
Description of Work: Replace all of 2nd floor BX wiring - Install a total 18 outlets. 4 outlets per bedroom and 2 outlets in hallway. - Provide and install fan rated boxes and fan/light switches for each bedroom - Replace wiring to 3way switches and 1 light fixture at top of stairs. - Provide and install 3 - 15amp afci protected circuit breakers. Replace part of 1st floor BX wiring - Replace wiring to switch and 2 outside wall sconces. - Replace wiring to 3way switches and 1 light fixture at bottom of stairs. - Provide and install 3 smoke/carbon detectors. 1 for each floor. - Replace wiring to dining room 3way switches and 1 center light. - Provide and install 1 - 15amp afci protected circuit breaker. Fix various things found during inspection: - Provide and install 2pole 20amp breaker. - Clean up junction box in basement and redo splicing. - Jump out water main to maintain continuity through meter. - Provide and install gfci outlet in partially finished basement. Wire gfci so it protects rest of the outlets in that room. - Provide and install outlet in unfinished part of basement.

I made the appointment about 10 days prior. They arrived on the date and during the morning, as scheduled. Very professional and pleasant, worked quickly and efficiently. Were in and out in about 15 or 20 minutes. It was a simple job, but one I could not do myself. They cleaned up white powder drywall dust and debris on the floor as a result of removing the plug and switch. They did a great job, and I would hire this company again. The $100 charge takes into account their $50 coupon on Angie's List. The total job, therefore, would have cost $150.00. I think the job is definitely worth paying $100 but not $150. Because I had the $50 coupon, I was pleased with the resulting $100 charge to perform the work.

After purchasing our new home we began to get outrageously high electric bills, way higher than expected. We called JP O'Brien Electric to come to the house to help us determine what appliance or circuit was drawing all the energy. Joseph spent a couple of hours with me trying to determine what was going on, and while things are still somewhat of a mystery to us (unfortunately we landed on old, inefficient A/Cs) we could not have been more pleased with Joseph's patience, explanations, knowledge, and help getting our problems identified. Also, while he was working he noticed some double-tapped circuits, which he fixed on the spot for me without hesitation. I wish more people would use Angie's List just so they could find this company. Our friends and family have already heard about our great experience with JP O'Brien and their contact info has already been shared. If you are reading this and need an electrician, stop reading and call this company!!! Whether they like it or not, JP O'Brien Electric will be our go-to electrician for any electrical problems, upgrades, etc. we may face in the future! And in fact, we already have them scheduled to come back out again soon.

GREAT!! Joe is definitely my go-to Electrician going forward. See my description above.
Description of Work: Joe replaced an outside motion light for me - he replaced the fixture right away- THEN, figured out which light switch in my house actually controlled the light, in about 5 minutes - something NO ONE had been able to do in the 10 years I've owned the house. (it was hiding in the attic!). He also checked out some issues with a security DVR, giving me some ideas for its repair.

Dave is FABULOUS! and JB O'Brien co is my new electrician company. I cannot say enough about Dave. Prompt, courteous, thorough, nice, extremely knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. A smile came to my face when he told me how much. You know how we all cringe when it's time to write the check. THANKS DAVE!
Description of Work: My outside sensor lights stopped working for no apparent reason (other than the house and wiring is old). Dave came and tried to find out what the problem was. He searched and searched and then found the culprit was an outside wire that I didn't even existed. Not sure what he did but I have lights!!!! And I am ecstatic about it. The lights have been out for a couple of months. Dave saved the day! and the night because I no longer have to fumble with keys and enter the house in the dark!
