I highly recommend First Class Electric. I called this morning and by 10 am Joey the technician was calling me confirming he was on his way. The operator who made the appointment was very friendly and helpful. The technician Joey was very knowledgeable and friendly. He is an asset to your company! He understood what needed to be done and explained his plan. He made sure I was satisfied and answered every question. I will definitely use this company again but I want Joey to be the technician. Thank You!!!

second job- ceiling fans installed in bedroom
Description of Work: Another great experience. After big lighting job, we had Mariano come back to install ceiling fans in our bedrooms. Yet again, the price was good and the work was of high quality and expeditious. Fans look great. We are very pleased with the work done by First Class Electric this year.

install recess canless lights, pendants and ceiling fan
Description of Work: Excellent, highly recommend. Mariano and Harry were our technicians and they did a tremendous job. Our new ceiling fan, pendant lights and canless recess lights look awesome. These guys worked really hard to do the recess lights and did a great job despite obstacles that came up through no fault of their own. Mariano was really good through the estimate process, walking us through exactly how things would be done and offering his advice about placement of lights, type of lights, etc. We plan to use them again for additional work soon.

I have changed the rating to an A for the review below because the company offered us a full refund for the trouble. I think this is a very professional way to do business. Other companies would simply had said " Too bad, we wont do anything about it." I appreciate the company's responsiveness and offer of a refund. __________________________________________________________________________________ We had no heat because the electrical on our thermostat was shorted out. I called a few electricians and they told me that they didn't do that, only simple installations. We had no heat and when I was making the appointment and I SPECIFICALLY told them that the thermostat was shorted and they assured me that they can fix it. This was on a Thursday for a Monday morning appt. since we were going to be away for the weekend. So I would have had plenty of time to schedule an HVAC ahead of time. When the electrician arrived - first thing he said was - that they don't work on the shorted thermostats only simple installation and I needed to call an HVAC. Needless to say I couldn't get an HVAC to come immediately and we had to live another day without heat.

Response from First Class Electric
Hi [Member Name Removed], We are really sorry about the experience you had and the inconvenience it caused regarding one of the two issues we were called for - a non working thermostat. While we were able to resolve the issue with a tripping breaker, unfortunately the thermostat issue was HVAC related. We will contact you and do our best to make it up to you. Thank you for the feedback, which we take seriously and took steps right away towards preventing this from happening in the future. We trained our office that we do not troubleshoot gas furnaces thermostats, we only do troubleshoot electrical baseboard heaters thermostats. Sorry again and feel free to contact us with any questions. Best regards, Boris Andonov Manager First Class Electric

Technician came and diagnosed the issues and stated he would need to open up the roof. Came back another day and discovered that the problem would not require opening the ceiling. Ran to home depot to get some supplies and came back and had lights in my 2nd, 3rd floor bathrooms, and hallway working again within a hour. All in all it wound up costing me a 1/3 of the qouted price. Very promopt, professional and kind and absolutely will use them for any electrical needs I have in the future. I believe my technicians name was Jean or Neil, i wish I remembered for sure because he was excellent.

It went great! We used this company in 2015 for installation of emergency generator plug in outlet and breakers. They performed the work as we agreed, no surprises or attempts to up-sell. This time it was a small job, and they were again, on time, professional, and respected our home. I will use them again when needed, as well as refer them to family and friends. Thank you!!

They were running a little behind, but still within the 3 hour window I was quoted, They called to say they were sorry, as the last job had some complications. I told them it was ok, no issue, but they dropped 25.00 from the price. The gentleman was quick, efficient, and very polite. He was done within 20 minutes. I would hire them again.

The above was a secret present to my husband. Neil, at First Class, came to my home to spec out the job, which was fairly complicated. While I was out of the country , and only able to correspond 5hrough email and a friend’s phone, he was able to give a quote and explain 5he extent of the job. One day before my husband’s birthday, Neil returned, waited for my husband to leave the house, and then proceeded with the work, which was accomplished professionally, neatly, and punctually. I couldn’t ask for better service, reliability and expertise of craft.
