hands down the best in northwest NJ! Seidel electric was referred to me by a coworker with raving reviews when I was looking to put a generator into my newly purchased home. The owner (Steven) sat down in my kitchen for a long and thought out conversation and ended up doing a wonderful job for way less than the competition. Most recently my transfer switch was blown out by a power surge during a brown out. Steven and one of his electricians came out on their off time to make sure his customer was taken care of. They do great work, for great prices, and have even better customer service.

I have an old house and it was brought to my attention by another contractor that I should look at upgrading some of the electrical because it was unsafe. I called a couple of electricians but was really impressed by Seidel. The gentleman that met with me was very knowledgeable and patient with all of my questions. Hopefully I won't need more work done in the future, but I would call them if I did.

The process went exactly as it was described when we purchased the generator. All was done on-time and very professionally. They cleaned up everything after they were done with installation. When Stephen came to demonstrate how the generator worked, everything worked perfectly! Don’t shop around, just call. They beat the other price I got from another company by almost about 30%!

Wow, Looks like I need to reevaluate my pricing model :). I'm pleased that we were able to save you 30% on such a valuable addition to your home. I'm sure that your new Generac whole home power alternative is already "generating Peace of mind" just sitting there in standby waiting for a blackout.

My Generac Whole House Generator sustained accidental damage and I contacted Seidel Electric to repair it. They responded very quickly and candidly explained the pros and cons of repairing vs replacing and I decided replacing was the best alternative. Despite a widespread power outage, I had my new generator installed within 2 days. I would definitely recommend them for repairs as well as furnishing a new generator system.

Thank you for your kind words. It was fortunate that we stock a large quantity of all generator sizes in our NJ warehouse and were able to replace your system during the period of outage. I am glad your insurance claim was also successful which helped to mitigate the overall cost.

We had our 22K generator installed about 3 years ago. The process was easy and professional. We have had annual maintenance and our generator exercises every few weeks. Since install we only had one 30 minute outage - until last Friday. The power went out in a severe storm, our generator kicked in and fully powered our house for 36 hours until power was restored. It's great when things work as promised.

The replacement of the exhaust fan was not easy since the wiring and opening for the new fan in bathroom ceiling had to be completely redone. Stephen had to use a ladder to climb up into attic many times. The new LED lights in kitchen and bedroom look and work great! The new dimmer switches are so convenient--you just tap the switch which makes turning light on in the dark so much easier than what we had. Stephen is very experienced and completed the job perfectly. He even cleaned the work areas--vacuumed, etc!!! I will use Seidel Elecrric again.

Thank you for your kind words.It was a pleasure to work with you again since that last time we came as a result of your Angie's List request to install the ceiling fan in your cathedral ceiling. I'm glad you are happy with the LED lighting upgrade I recommended.Not only do you have 50% more light, you will save over $486.00 in energy costs on each recessed light over the lifespan of the fixture. Thats almost $5,300.00 in savings. We look forward to your next call.

Very well. Electrician (Dave) was on time, polite and professional. He was originally to install one new exterior outlet and was able to complete a few additional jobs I asked him to do while he was here, saving me the cost of an additional service call. Have not used electrician before and not sure about the price.

What a huge disappointment!! After purchasing the 2 hour of labor for $119, I paid an additional $300. for labor & materials and only got 3 recessed lights installed. The electrician didn't even clean up & I had to vacuum sheetrock powder off of my bed & sweep it from the floor!

Response from Seidel Electric Inc
[member name removed], I'm sorry that your expectation of the time to perform the tasks you requested was unrealistic. Contrary to what you posted, our Master Electrician accomplished far more you indicated. In addition to cutting in 3 customer supplied recessed lighting fixtures in your finished sheetrock ceiling, we also fished multiple conductors down two finished walls, installed 2 light switches with dimmers and wired them to the new lighting fixtures. We wired the new lighting to an existing circuit in the attic rather than subject you to the additional labor and material required for a dedicated line back to the electric panel. We also repaired a light fixture that you claim your husband installed improperly. It now works. In addition, you requested a porcelain keyless fixture be installed in your basement. All tasks were completed in our customary excellent workmanlike fashion. We arrived earlier than scheduled at 11:00 and departed your home, (at your request) at 3:10, not withstanding the 2 hours travel time to and from your location.(There was no travel time charged).The extra charges incurred including labor and material that you requested and were in accordance with the Angies list pricing guidelines. We ALWAYS clean up our work space after we complete our work and even go the extra mile to wear protective shoe covers when inside your home. When David started to clean up you insisted that he leave because you were concerned that we would charge you for additional time. You were mistaken. What a huge disappointment !!
