Fred did an excellent job from start to finish. He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and a top-notch professional in every respect. He was easy to talk to and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Fred and would use him again for any electrical needs that may occur in the future.

Tuesday afternoon the electricity went off in my guest room area. I had to quickly find someone who could get my electricity back on,because I had out of town guests coming on Thursday. I quickly called the first A rating on Angies list early Wednesday morning. Fred answered and said he could get to it the same day I called. Wow! Sometimes it is hard to get a phone call returned the same day, much less get the problem fixed. He came out about 3:00 and I had all my electricity back on by 4:15. He even vacuumed the carpet area where he was working and did not leave any mess.
Description of Work: An electrical "pop" cause about 1/3 of the electricity to stop in my home and the flipping the breaker would not cause the electricity to come back on. Fred examined the location where I had heard the "pop" , located the wiring problem, was able to fix it quickly.

Finding a good electrician who 1) knows his craft, 2) is time-conscious and works around your schedule and 3) does an excellent job for a fair and reasonable price is difficult at best. Hiring Fred Schlosser gives you all those benefits and more. After a light fixture in our home caught fire in the ceiling, we didn't know if we had a wiring problem or a fixture problem. We hired Fred through Angie's List to address that issue and install a new outlet, and we could not be more pleased with his professionalism and the work he did. More importantly, we now have peace of mind that the problem was found and fixed and our home is safe. He even called us several days later to ensure all was well and no other problems were encountered. If you want it done right the first time, we highly recommend you give Fred Schlosser a call. He exceeded our expectations and then some!
Description of Work: Lighting fixture caught fire and needed to be replaced. Also needed to know if it was due to a faulty fixture or bad wiring. We also needed a new outlet installed.

I had a bad experience with another Angie's List electrician and went back online to find another company. Thankfully, I found and called Fred. He returned my first call within 10 minutes after I left a message. I wanted him to come to my house on a certain day so that I could be there. He set up an appointment on the day I wanted and at a time that I could be there. I got home 5 minutes after the appointment time and Fred was already there and working. He was very professional and courteous. Whenever he found something wrong he would show me and tell me why it happened and what he was going to do to fix it. He was very methodical and patient working through the problems. His detail about solving problems are due I am sure to his engineering background. When he told me how much the bill was I was pleasantly shocked. I was expecting to pay twice the amount he charged. Overall this was a very good experience and I will call Fred with any other electrical problems I might have and I highly recommend him. .
Description of Work: I had some outlets and switches that were not working. There were loose connections that caused some wires to overheat and burn in the main box and a light switch and an outlet. Thankfully, there was no fire from that. Fred methodically diagnosed the problem and replaced the switches and outlets. He checked all connections and made sure they were tight and safe. He rerouted wires in the main box to other connections to fix the problem in the main box.

I would highly recommend Fred Schlosser / eWire Electric Company. Fred was always professional, friendly, and honest. He gave great suggestions and completed the job neatly. I contacted him on a Tuesday and he did an excellent job that Thursday. I needed light fixtures and a refrigerator hard wired in an older house - which presented difficulties. Not a problem, Fred took his time to figure out the best solution. Couldn't be more satisfied.

Fred is responsive and easy to work with. I requested an estimate several months ago, and he came out quickly and gave me clear and specific pricing for each of the jobs on my list. Circumstances interrupted my plans, and he emailed to follow up, but wasn't pushy at all. I called Fred back after a few months, and was pleased that he remembered me and the jobs we'd discussed. We scheduled an appointment, and he came out today (at exactly the time he said he'd arrive) and did the first three things on my list. The quote didn't change, he was pleasant and professional and made great suggestions for improving my lighting. I will absolutely call back when I'm ready to tackle the next items on my list.

Fred was absolutely wonderful. He replaced switches in the kitchen and light fixtures in the kitchen and hall. It was very difficult to find parts for one light, but Fred was persistent and did find the parts. Couldn't be more satisfied. He was highly responsive and really couldn't not have been better.

The project went as all do with Fred. The man is a professional and he seems to enjoy a challenge. Upon meeting Fred, it doesn't take long to realize you are in good hands. He's punctual and maintains good communication from the first time you call him until the project is complete. His work is always to code and will offer suggestions and options as to the best way to proceed. He is a craftsman and his work is impeccable. Care is taken to protect your surroundings and he cleans up when finished. His fee is inline with what you would expect to pay for quality work and you will have the assurance that it's been done right. Now, if I could only find someone half as professional for my other home projects...and it is not easy. At least I have the electrical covered with Fred.
Description of Work: We instinctively call Fred for any work in our 1970's era home no matter how simplistic the job appears on the surface. Our latest project confirmed this is the right approach. To be "simply" installed were a ceiling fan, track lights, illuminated bathroom mirror and a badly wired and broken wall outlet. Each of these projects had unforeseeable complications. If I had tried tackling these projects myself I would probably still be at it to this day.

As in previous situations, Fred arrived on time and installed everything flawlessly. The GE Sunsmart Digital Timers that we had installed were much easier to program than we thought they would be. Fred mentioned some people have trouble with these timers, but so far they work flawlessly. And there are lots of options for the settings. Very easy to program. We're actually thinking of having more of them installed in the house. So Fred, get ready for another call in the near future.
Description of Work: Install a 6" recessed lighting fixture in the laundry closet. LED light kit provided by owner. Install two digital timer switches (one for fixtures in upstairs hallway and one for night lights in master bedroom). Timers provided by owner.

Fred was excellent to work with. We have already discussed with him to return for several more projects we have planned around the house. He is always on time and was exact with his estimate of the costs. Truly a pleasant experience for us. I without reservations highly recommend Fred for any electrical needs you might have planned. He will do the small jobs that many turn down as well as the big projects.
Description of Work: Changed out several ceiling fans for lights, added lighting in our attic with additional electrical work, added outside receptacles for Christmas lights which involved adding a circuit breaker to the panel as well as wiring, changed out multiple indoor receptacles and switches.

From the first, I knew I could trust Fred professionally and personally. That has proved to be accurate.
Description of Work: I called e-wire at 2 p.m. on New's Year Day because there was no power to my refrigerator and everything was thawing out. He was here in 45 minutes to diagnose the problem and returned the next morning to repair the wiring under the house. (Fortunately I have two refrigerators so no food was lost.)

Fred convinced me that installing GFCI receptacles for all appropriate circuits would meet my needs if my electrical system was otherwise sound. I appreciate that he turned away work that would have been far more lucrative to him. Fred scheduled the work in a manner timely enough for me. The project required two consecutive partial days. Providing access from outside and installing cable for the inside breaker box, and hanging the conduit and junction box was completed on the first partial day. Pulling cable, installing receptacles, wiring receptacles, securing the loose cable in the attic, consolidating existing low usage circuits to free up new 20 amp service, wiring cable and installing switches in the breaker box, and powering "on" the new circuits and checking the quality of his work occurred on the second day. Fred also verified the effectiveness of the grounding for the whole house electrical system. Fred is obviously knowledgeable about his craft and very professional in how he deals with clients and performs the work. He patiently and thoroughly answered my questions throughout the project and appeared to genuinely enjoy our conversations. No detail was too minor, He checked the quality of his work at each stage and removed his tools and remnants as soon as a task was completed. His van was well organized and little time was expended searching for tools and parts. My experience with Fred and eWire Electric Company was excellent. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Fred consulted on my original project to upgrade wiring in two levels of my house. He checked and verified that my system was grounded to the copper water pipes and to a driven ground rod at the meter. Fred installed a new 20 amp circuit and two outdoor GFCI protected receptacles. He also installed a new 20 amp circuit for two receptacles in a sun room that replaced existing 15 amp receptacles. These required installing PVC conduit on an outside wall of the house, and fishing and pulling cable in a low, cramped, extremely hard to access attic.

I am extremely pleased with Fred's quick response to my initial e-mail, follow-up and work completed. He will be my electrician from now on! He is very personable, easy to talk with, and offered suggestions when I asked about other "projects" I had in mind.
Description of Work: Fred took down an existing chandelier in my kitchen dining area and installed another smaller fixture that I had purchased. He had to modify the new fixture somewhat, i.e. shorten the cord and drill holes in the base plate. Resulting installation and fixture look wonderful and I have received many compliments from friends and family on the "new look" of a Moravian star over my kitchen table! Fred also replaced a burned-out bulb in an outside light fixture at my garage door.

We are completely satisfied with all of the work that Fred has performed for us. He was quick to respond to our request to have the ceiling fan installed right away since we wanted it in before the planned arrival of a house guest. And while there that first visit, he went ahead and fixed the fornt porch light (it was a damaged switch.) The rest of the work was scheduled after our house guest had left. He spent most of a day getting it all completed. In relocating the chandellier, he was challenged with working around our structure but managed it to our satisfaction with no extra charge. And all the other work was most satisfactory. Fred is very friendly and professional. He listens carefully to our needs and completes the tasks in a neat and efficient manner. We are very happy with his work and manner and will use him again for future work.
Description of Work: Contacted Fred by email to ask him to come out to provide an estimate for several jobs; installation of a ceiling fan, trouble shoot non-working porch light, replace outdoor garage light fixtures, disconnect the wiring for a hard wired alarm system we were no longer using (we went to a wireless system.), trouble shoot a small problem with an automatic switch in our laundry room, relocate dining room chandelier and check GFCI outlets in kitchen. He made it out in a couple days and emailed the estimates the day after. We scheduled the work for shortly after that. All of the jobs were completed over two separate days.

Fred had to re-wire part of the garage (expected, but not to that extent) and do a little carpentry (unexpected), yet came pretty close to the original estimate of $150. I purchased the light separately for about $50. Good job for a fair price.

I called eWire based on other Angie's list reviews. red from eWire setup a time to come out. He arrived right on time and I showed him the problems. I was really impressed that he took the time to listen to and try understand the problems. He traced down the outdoor light problem to a fault in the neutral wire somewhere in the fuse box and was able to fix the problem. I had previously had an electrician come out and look at the grounding problem with the TV and they were unable to identify or fix the problem. Fred went about testing each outlet in the room and somehow tracking the problem down to a tiny nick in the wire that was in the conduit. He replaced the wire and the problem was solved. I was truly impressed with his ability to troubleshoot the problems and to find the right solution.
Description of Work: I had a couple electrical challenges around the house that I was unable to troubleshoot. I had an outdoor light that was not getting power to it and I had a weird situation in my bedroom where when I connected a new HDTV and hooked up the cable I would get shocked and the it was grounding out through the cable

We emailed E-wire to have a light fitted to a ceiling fan. Though it wasn't an emergency, he fitted us in ASAP, was punctual and offered us switch alternatives from basic to high end without pushing for one type or another. He also fitted a dimmer to another light which was a service we only requested in mid-call. We will use E-wire again whenever we have electric needs.
