I found AVD and called before 8 am. In less than an hour Victor returned my call - I really had no hope of finding anyone on Saturday who would help with my emergency. Victor was at my house on time and diagnosed the problem - there was a short in the outlet and it needed to be replaced. He did the job, was super nice, polite - he even showed me where the problem was in the outlet. I highly recommend AVD and intend to use them again. Its not often that you find someone like Victor!
Description of Work: On Saturday after Christmas, I plugged in my Keurig to make my coffee and the outlet began to smoke and spark. I immediately unplugged the coffee maker and opened my computer and began searching Angie's List. I found AVD and called at about 8am. In less than an hour Victor called back - I really had no hope of finding anyone on Saturday who would help with my emergency.

From quote through permit through completion of the job, everything was perfect and professional. Victor was articulate about the work that he was going to do, and showed how to use the switch when he was done. The wall sconce switch was done perfectly! Nothing but good things to say about Victor and the work that he did. He will always be my first call when I need an electrician! Update: 12/15/2015 After a great past experience I called Victor today to install a wall outlet for a television on a wall that didn't have an outlet. He was responsive and came the same day! Excellent work and I will use him whenever I need a professional electrician. $225.00
Description of Work: Put in a portable generator transfer switch and separately put in a wall switch for a sconce.

I asked him about a permit. He said he would be the one to apply for the permit, but he wasn’t sure who was supposed to call the electric company to turn off the power.
Description of Work: He came and he didn’t know anything. He asked me how many amps I had. I opened the box and showed him what he was looking for. Not only was he hard to get ahold of, but when I did, he said he couldn’t find my house. He said he went to another street with the same name. I was on my porch, but I never saw his vehicle going by. He finally came, but he had nothing with him, not even a flashlight. I asked him what would be done. He couldn’t even find my wire – he claimed they were all underground. I showed him where the wires were. There were two prices. One to change the box, the other to upgrade the box. I chose the most expensive – to upgrade. He said the upgrade is only used for a meter outside – that did not apply to me because my meter is inside. I asked him if he wanted me to call back and change what I bought, but he said it didn’t matter. He couldn’t explain anything.

This customer purchased a Big Deal on Angie's List that did not apply to her. After having many issues contacting this customer because "her cell phone fell in the toilet". AVD ELECTRIC arrived at her home with a fully stocked service vehicle to access her needs. Her home was located in the heart of a high crime area in Essex County. Upon our arrival I explained how the deal did not apply to her needs as she currently has an underground electrical service and not an overhead service. Therefore, I explained her options and we agreed she would call me to inform me on whether she wanted to proceed with the recommended new installation. Unfortunately, I never heard back from her. It's very unfortunate this customer felt in order to receive a refund for her big deal purchase she had to discredit our company with an unjustifiable F review.

Victor did an excellent job, he had to come out a number of different times due to issues with the weather and some other construction I am having done on my house. He shows up promptly and is polite and professional. The panel passed inspection without any issues. I will use him again and would highly recommend AVD to anyone who asks.

We called Victor for the Angies list big deal for a 6 circuit transfer kit. He arrived when promised and explained how the transfer panel/generator works. We decided to up the deal to 10 circuits and decided to purchase the generator thru him. The generator arrived and he immediatly scheduled a day/time for instillation. He again was prompt and the entire job was completed in a few hours. He actually went thru each breaker with me, to make sure the 10 I chose were the ones I wanted. He assembled the generator and made certain not only that it worked properly, but that I knew how to start/run the system. Then, "while you are here, could you".....and I had him do a few extra things (install another outlet out doors and fix a basement light etc.. He completed these requests at either next to nothing pricing or at no charge! He went to the township and applied for the permit. The inspector came, and passed the work with flying colors! I have since emailed Victor with questions, and have gotten quick replies with helpful answers! Hopefully I will never need to use this generator, but am extremly satisfied with all aspects of AVD Electric! And I would not think twice about calling them again in the future for any electrical needs!

When I first spoke to Victor he outlined exactly what he was prepared to do for the BigDeal price. I explained to him that the wire run for the external connection would be greater than what the deal allowed for and we agreed upon the final cost. Even though I had not fully identified all the breakers that I wanted to be used, he worked with me to figure it all out. (I have an old house with a 40 breaker main panel and not all markings are correct!) When he arrived he did not have exactly what he needed but was able to go to a local supply house for what he needed. After the work was completed he conducted a test with my portable generator and showed me the proper sequence of operation. All in all I was very satisfied and have already recommended Vicot to a colleague.

Terrific young man - arrived on time and knew exactly what he was doing. One outlet was a switch and outlet in one unit, and another outlet and its cover had been painted over so that the whole front of the outlet had come off when someone in the house pulled out a plug with too much force and at an angle. I'm very pleased with his work and his attitude - now I have no worries about the outlets. He has a good manner about him and was a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely call him in the future when I need an electrician.

Everything went well with the installation, he was on time and explained our options. We were charged extra for the additional wiring as the distance was greater than that included in the 'big deal'. The job took about 2 and half hours and we are happy with the result. I recommend this provider.
Description of Work: AVD came to our home and installed a transfer switch and wired the switch to an external outlet. They tested the panel with my generator and walked me through the process of using it in the event of an outage.

The representative was very nice and helpful, he was a bit late but he called us 3 different times giving an update. He was able to look around and investigate our electrical situation, and at the end of the day he concluded the Big Deal was not worth the time. I am glad he was honest.

I made several unsuccessful attempts to reach the customer via telephone prior to commencing the one and a half hour commute the their home. However, since we had scheduled the installation I proceeded to drive to their home. Upon my arrival, it was clear the customer had not read the deal they purchased. Therefore, the deal they purchased was not compatible with their electrical system and the deal did not apply to their needs. Unfortunately, I was unable to complete the installation costing A.V.D. ELECTRIC valuable time.

I contacted Victor by e-mail after reading many good reviews for AVD electric listed on Angie's List. . Victor answered all of my questions and scheduled the installation at a time that was convenient for me. He arrived at my house just when he said he would. He asked me where I'd like the outdoor connector and started his work. After completing the installation, Victor showed me how to use the transfer switch and tested it with the generator running to make sure that everything worked properly. Victor took care of the permit application and explained the process for scheduling the inspection. I had the inspection this past Monday and the installation passed with flying colors. If Angie's List had an A+ rating, that's how I'd rate Victor and his company. He did a great job and will definitely use him again if I need electrical work in the future.
Description of Work: Installed a 6 circuit generator transfer switch (1 220 volt, 4 110 volt) with an outdoor connector so that I can power my well pump, furnace and a few other circuits during a power outage using my generator.

I purchased the Angies list big deal for a 6 circuit transfer switch. They came on time, installed the transfer switch within a few hours, and then tested with a generator.

job went well even in the pouring rain, Victor attached outlet box for generator to outside wall. His work is high quality and very well priced thanks to Angie's List promotions. The interlock kit will allow me to pick and choose what circuit I want to turn on while the generator enegizes my power-box. He explained how it works, it is entirely a manual switch, so pay attention.
