We called EMF with a very last-minute need over the weekend and he was able to fit us in for the next day. Although we didn't end up needing their services, we will GLADLY reach out next time since they were so accommodating and helpful over the phone.

On the day of the appointment, about 15 minutes past my scheduled appointment, Leon had not yet arrived. I called and asked what his timing was and he asked me what time he was supposed to be there. When I mentioned 15 minutes ago, he said that he was tied up and couldn't come out at all. Had I not called, I would have been waiting all day since he had clearly forgotten about it. I would at least expect the courtesy of a phone call to tell me in advance, that you need to reschedule. However, just not showing up and not contacting me is not acceptable.
Description of Work: I called to set up an appointment for Leon to come out and look at a half dozen projects. He was able to schedule a time to come out approximately 5 days later. This was fine since it was not an emergency situation.

Called EMF and they gave me the cell number of the pool electrician. I called him and he said to email him which I did. I didn't hear from him and emailed again the next day. Still didn't hear anything and tried calling. Finally reached him by phone a few days later and he said he'd try to come out in a couple days but 3 days later I still haven't heard back from him.

Leon worked fast, was friendly and knowledgeable. When my lights stopped working mysteriously, I was worried that it was something more serious in the wiring, but Leon knew enough about the type of fixtures I had to tell me over the phone that the problem was with the fixtures, and they just needed to be replaced. I was able to buy the fixtures ahead of time and save the hassle and cost of a diagnostic visit. Installation took less time than I expected and Leon took all the trash and broken fixtures with him to dispose of. I will be using this company again in the future.
Description of Work: Installed two lights in the kitchen.

I contacted Leon of EMF Electric after my home inspector found problems with the electrical panel of our soon-to-be new home. I had already decided to replace a lighting fixture in the kitchen, so asked Leon to prepare an estimate for both jobs ($400.) Due to "challenges" with my home closing, I had to reschedule my appointment a couple of times and Leon was VERY accommodating to my schedule. Bobby and his helper Tim arrived at my home promptly at the scheduled time, introduced themselves,confirmed my service request and got right to work. The old track lighting fixture was quickly removed and work began on installing the three pendants. Bobby spent time positioning and measuring the three lights to ensure he achieved the most asthetic results; checking with me constantly. He even noticed one of the lights was darker than the others and placed it in the middle of the three for the best result! Bobby then began work on the electrical panel, showing me the problems with it along the way. Tim meanwhile checked on the ease of additional electrical and cable outlets above existing to accommodate a potential new flat screen TV. He discovered the wall access was clear, but both he and Bobby encouraged me to wait for installation until I had purchased the wall mount to ensure proper placement (I plan to have them back next week to install.) I could not have asked for a better experience.....especially since the final cost was $50 less than the original estimate! Bobby and Tim were professional, were very conscientious to ensure everything was done properly and they cleaned as they worked; leaving my home in great shape. I will DEFINITELY use Bobby and Tim and EMF Electric again!
Description of Work: Removed track lighting from kitchen and installed three pendant fixtures. Fixed electrical panel which contained burned wires and loose connections.

After two electricians left us hanging, Leon and EMF provided a fair estimate on reworking our outside electrical wiring. Our house was built in 1955 and we had various sub panels in a Frankenstein-like setup and EMF replaced it all with one panel. They were right on time, did the work in the cold and rain without complaint, and set up the inspection for the next day. Leon came back for the inspection to make sure it went smoothly. We are very pleased and will use EMF in the future.

Leon took my call right away, told me the cost up front, scheduled an appointment quickly and arrived right on time. He fixed my broken outlet quickly and walked me through what he was doing. He inspected the GFIs that the inspector noted were an issue and found that they were operating fine and were not in need of fixing. He also gave me an invoice to provide to the home buyer stating this. In addition to being prompt and helpful, he was extremely nice and I felt very comfortable with him. I would definitely use him again.

I called Leon and he came over within a day. Gave me an estimate, I called another electrician also but Leon's estimate came in way less than what other one wanted. So I called him back and made an appointment. Todd and Bobby arrived (very punctual) and proceeded to do the work. Todd explained everything that was done and amount was exactly what we had agreed on. He even vacuumed the floor after he finished! I am very satisfied and will definitely call them for any electrical issues in the future.
Description of Work: Removed old fuse panel and relocated new panel in dining room. Installed new breaker box with all new breakers and labeled new panel. Ran new dedicated circuit for range 220 volt and new dedicated circuit for microwave. Installed new GFI ceceptal in kitchen and installed new range plug.

The night before, we heard an electrical cracking noise behind our dryer. Upon inspection, noticed that the cover had come loose and the plug wasn't in correctly. Looking closer, we noticed the electrical cord was partially melted by the prongs at the end. EMF Electric came out very promptly and replaced all the parts involved and advised that it had caught on fire at some point recently. We were very lucky it didn't. EMF Electric did a wonderful job!
Description of Work: Replaced a 240 volt outlet for our dryer, replaced the power cord on the dryer itself, and corrected bad wiring in our breaker box.

Do not give your business to EMF Electric (Leon). I contacted Leon a week in advance, we discussed the job, he provided an estimate, and we secured a date and time. I proceeded to take the day off from work to be home so that Leon could complete the job. Leon did not show up. He did not answer his phone. He did not return a call to the messages left. Do not use Leon.

I called EMF because of their large amount of positive reviews. I spoke with Leon and he said he could come out later that day. He called to let me know when he was on his way. As he started looking at the laundry list of problems I had he fixed what he could that afternoon and informed me he was out of time and would have to come back tomorrow. He callled and came back exactly when he said he would. When I say we had a significant amount of "mystery" issues I am not over exaggerating. It took Leon and Tim a great deal of time and effort to trace each problem down to the root cause. I was impressed with Leon's knowledge and tenacity to keep going until it was right. When all was said and done he fixed all of the issues and cleaned up. I was beyond satisfied with the service I received and will most certainly use Leon for all of my electrical needs in the future.

Very experienced and talented electrician. However when I called for the second job he promised that he would help me out and that I was on the schedule. He blew me off and never returned multiple emails or phone calls. I was disappointed I thought he'd be great for all of the upcoming projects.
