Francis was honest and efficient. Spent apt of time discussing options for work now and in the future. He is my electrician for the long run. Thanks
Description of Work: I called Francis to give me an estimate on installing an outdoor GFI outlet on the back of the house for power to roof and gutter driver heating element as eel. As bigger discussion about running power a long distance to an outbuilding for temp use this winter before rerouting power to garage being build next year. Francis gave me an idea to just use a generator with housing to deaden sound that was a fraction of the cost quoted by another electrician that would have still required resigning and rerouting once the new garage was designed. And the solution didn’t end up requiring his services at all He did return to put the outdoor outlet for the price he had quoted me and on time. I had had Francis do some repair on a dimmer switch that was wired oddly and had been continually jerryrigged by previous electrician. Francis repaired it for reasonable price without having to do total replacement at this point. We will replace it when he is next in the area if it becomes unresponsive. Even then he showed me a workaround so that I still had use of light functionality until we did full replacement. I appreciated his honesty and regard for my budget for keeping Costa down without causing any down time for me. Francis Aube was honest, adaptable,

Excellent, I didn't have an electrician so I checked Angie's list and found O-Bees Electric, I called at 7:30am on Monday and Frances Aube was at my house by 10:30am, he had my house back up and running very quickly. He was polite, professional and very knowledgeable. I would absolutely use him again for any electrical problems.
Description of Work: I lost electrical power in half my house on Saturday night. Francis Aube search out my problem and fixed it.

It went great - I got an estimate over the phone, the work was scheduled quickly and professionally PERFECTLY done. I would definitely use them again. My only (small) issue was that the estimate I got over the phone was based on the location of the cable box being at the opposite side of the house than I originally thought it was (entirely my fault in communicating to O-Bees ) but it turned out to be exactly under the location of where we wanted the new outlet. I guess I thought the price would have been a bit lower because less work needed to be performed (e.g. the estimate was based on having to wire completely across the house to the new location). Nonetheless, it was a great experience and I would use them again.
Description of Work: I had a few small electrical jobs that needed to be done... adding a cable outlet in a new spot and adding a new wall plug.

Frances is pleasant to talk with and was punctual and responsive. My problem was that he's probably too busy. When I received his invoice, he charged me for the recessed lights that *I* had already purchased and then I had to prove myself by showing him the receipt. He charged me 2x the Home Depot price for Romex (which I had 100 feet of in my garage, ready to go). He put in dimmer switches that didn't match the coloring of my house project (old switches were almond, new switches should have been white) and then indicated he thought I wanted almond color since those were in other places (so were the white!). He should have asked what color I wanted, but didn't and then didn't offer to replace them. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth, I'd not hire him again.

Great, he's efficient, professional, focused and friendly and always cleans up after the job too. He is highly skilled and there is not one difficult job that he did not do to perfection. I feel confident that all my electrical jobs are done with safety in mind. Extremely happy with the service I have received over 8 years of using his services and recommend him highly.
Description of Work: I have a big house and always need electrical tweaking. Frances has hard wired over 7 smoke detectors. Moved several ceiling fixtures, put lighting in my shed, floor outlets to name a few

Francis returned my call within 24 hours and we set up a time for him to come look at the work that needed to be done. He advised us to buy a new ceiling fan so that just in case it was the fixture itself that wasn't working he could install it while he was here. I was hoping to just get the 1 light fixed in time for Christmas Eve and he was able to fix the 3 outlets that weren't working as well. He did all of it within an hour and we were even able to return the new ceiling fan as it was not needed. Very pleased with his professionalism, responsiveness and service. I will definitely call him for any future electrical needs.
Description of Work: We had a couple of lights and outlets that were not working.

First of all I understand being busy and we had no expectation of having our small project being a huge priority and we just wanted to schedule something within a couple of weeks of our call. We reached out and left a message for Francis. After a few days he called us back and left a messsage. We called him right back and talked to him about what we needed down. He initially thought we were in Salem, NH and told us he could give us an appointment around the 8th. Once he realized we were intact in Somersworth he told me that he had a job in Portsmouth in the morning and could fit us in the afternoon -- on his way back home to Northwood. We were super excited and we agreed that he would call me when he finished his job in Portsmouth and I'd meet him at our house. I arranged my work schedule and clients accordingly. The problem lies in that the next day came (Dec. 1) and he never called ... not even to tell me he had to cancel. Talk about waste of an afternoon and the pain of adjusting my work. I would have totally understood if he had gotten delayed because of another job etc. The common courtesy of a phone call would have been nice. We're 0 for 2 with "highly rated" electricians in our area.

Francis is very professional and he is a thinking man. I have an old Victorian and often creative solutions are necessary and I have been running renovations for over 20 years and I'm thorough but he almost always thinks of something that I have left off the plan and fixes that. I know his work ethic and his abilities so I don't bid out jobs with Francis, I pay him by the hour for time and materials and I buy my own fixtures. He is neat and organized and you can have him around your children or tenants, he is respectful and minds his language. He really takes pride in his work and I'm never disappointed with the outcome of the work. I've spent over 20K with Francis and I've worked with at least 3 other electricians for many jobs and Francis is the best I've worked with. He works by himself mostly, hires help when he needs it. He goes above and beyond. I had an apartment with a slanted ceiling and it was going to require a very expensive custom shower rod; Francis made the custom shape with electrical conduit that he bent to the correct angles. I just spray painted the whole thing bronze and it looks amazing. For me, knowing that I'm going to get great quality work every time and I'm going to actually enjoy working with a contractor is why I keep picking that person over and over again. You may have to wait for him to be available. Honestly, he is worth the wait.
Description of Work: Actually I almost hate to write this review because Francis is my go to electrician as a Landlord and I don't want him to be so busy that he can't keep doing jobs for me! Francis has worked on several of my rental properties and my home for several years. He has done everything for me from complete rewiring to just adding some overhead lights or a fan. He just rewired one of my apartments and is about to start another one.

Everything went very well. Francis' response time was amazing and his courtesy/professionalism was top-notch. I was a little taken back at the amount I owed him considering how fast he was in and out, but that's certainly not his fault at all. I took him away from other work he could be doing and I had to pay accordingly. All in all, I would definitely hire Francis again for future electrical work.
Description of Work: I had a couple of light fixtures in my house that would work sporadically. After attempting to swap out seemingly faulty bulbs far too often than I would expect bulbs to go out, I broke down and called Francis to take a look.

Frank fixed a faulty outlet in our laundry room in the recent past. He went out of his way for that small job and we really appreciated it. So, when our lights were flickering and some decided to stop working, he was the first person we thought of to call. He took a few minutes to discuss on the phone the problems we were encountering and offered some suggestions. We were at work trying to address the problem. Frank came by the house within 15 minutes of our conversation to check out the issue, luckily other family was home. Long story short, the electricity problem was an outside line power company issue. Frank made the call to the power company and the issues with electricity in our home were resolved later that morning. Frank is trustworthy and does right by his clients. Others might not have been so honest when figuring out the electricity issues. He is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He is on our speed-dial for all of our electrical concerns and needs.

Francis was friendly and professional. I was particularly pleased with his responsiveness. Also, by diagnosing the problem accurately over the phone, Francis saved me the time and money of a visit. I will be calling Francis in the future for electrical work.
Description of Work: I called Francis and left a message hoping to get an exterior outlet fixed that was constantly causing the GFCI breaker to trip. Francis called me back later that same day. He asked questions about the problem over the phone, and diagnosed the issue as not the outlet or the breaker but rather the electric charcoal lighter I was using needing replacement. I followed his advice and it indeed solved the problem.

I contacted O-Bees Electric to inquire about them troubleshooting some electrical issues that I was experiencing. After detailing the problem, Francis suggested some simple fixes that might solve the problem. In his words, he was hoping it would "save me a few dollars." Indeed, his suggestions were correct and he did, indeed, save me a few dollars. I was very appreciative of his honesty as he could have very easily come to the house and charge full price for some simple fixes. This demonstrated honesty and a high respect for the customer. He was also very punctual in calling back. Will certainly use for projects in the future.

There is nothing more you could want in an electrician! Could not recommend him any more strongly, he is a true pro and a great person. Will definitely have him back for more work on my home.

Excellent!!!! This review is long over-due. Francis is AWESOME! If you need any electrical or handyman type of help, Francis is the man. His rates are also very reasonable for the skill-set that he brings to the table. I cannot recommend him highly enough. There is a reason why he is so highly rated on here. One more thing - because he is so good, he is also busy but he is WORTH THE WAIT. I will never call anyone else as long as I live in this area.
Description of Work: Surround Sound Installation, Flat Screen installation, miscellaneous handy-work (installed shelves, installed drawer handles, helped drain hot-tub, fixed propane heater, etc. FYI if I had just had him do the surround sound it probably would have been around $400 but I asked him do a lot of other work and I think he was at my house for 10-12 hours.

Francis brought his son to help with our job, and both were extremely nice and professional. Their ceiling fan installations were both perfect, even though they were clearly more challenging than most. They left us with a completely clean house and a warm feeling...we'll definitely call O-Bees again when we need electrical work done!
