Bold Electric LLC

Electrical, Generator, Lighting,

About us

Established in 2005, my family built Bold Electric under the premise of bridging the gap between the large electrical companies and the NJ homeowners who rely on them. We've been family owned and operated ever since, striving to work harder to give homeowners the customer service and satisfaction they deserve and should expect from their electrician. We put our hearts into every job we perform for you. You aren't just clients, you are our neighbors who need a New Jersey licensed professional electrician who can do the job right. Bold Electric LLC, also a certified Kohler® Generator Installer, has formed a strategic partnership with Cooper Power Systems. We are offering our customers a hedge against power outages that disrupt their daily lives with the installation of Standby Home Generators. A Standby Generator is ready 24 hours a day 7 days a week to respond to a power outage within seconds. With diesel fuel or natural gas powering the generator, the homeowner can continue using all connected circuit breakers with minimal disruption indefinitely. The generator will automatically transfer the connected circuits back to the grid once utility power is restored. EMERGENCY # (908) 616-3574

I would definitely recommend.

Description of Work: Bold Electric exceeded my expectations. I could have saved $ by handling parts of the generator install myself. But they made the whole process of installing a whole-house generator a headache-less process. The communication was excellent, they did what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it. I would hire them again, and recommend them to others.

Response from Bold Electric LLC
Every homeowner has multiple options for getting the necessary conduits from the home to the generator. As this homeowner has a completely finished basement, running the conduits thru the basement or cutting the walls open to route the conduits is a much more costly and invasive option that the homeowner chose to avoid. Another option was to trench from the side of the house approx. 40 feet to the generator. This is also a much more expensive option the homeowner chose to avoid. I am sure the cost of planting shrubs was less then either of the above mentioned alternatives. Below is an excerpt from the estimate that was signed by the homeowner well before the installation. "Run the feeder and signal pipes above grade to the generator."

Description of Work: Bold Electric is focused on its expertize as well as its customers. The cost of our generator and service was an investment in our home; and it has already provided us with the comfort of knowing that we will have heat and electric power, no matter what the weather conditions. I especially like the personalized maintenance and service; the friendly attitude of the workers; the commitment and expertize of the owners; and the fact that the owner's mother is one of the people I spoke to several times and who is a warm, caring lady.

Description of Work: We had several companies coming in to give us an estimate to put in a generator. Many of them tried heard to sell. But Vincent was very professional and not attempted to over sell. he provided an estimate very quickly via email, with a competitive price. Then I had questions (many) and he was extremely patient and professional about the whole thing. We ultimately decided to delay the purchase because of budget but he would be someone I call when we are ready.

Description of Work: The last time Bold came to my house was to perform a relatively minor fix to my back-up generator and it cost me nothing because it was covered under either the service contract or the manufacturer warranty. | |However, the real story is that these people are wonderful. They installed the generator for us after Hurricane Irene. They gave an accurate, competitive quote, performed the installation on time and efficiently, and were just great to work with. We took out a maintenance plan with them, and that was the smartest thing we ever did. |Less than 2 years later, when Hurricane Sandy hit, we were one of the very few houses in town with power, which meant that we were able to welcome friends and neighbors and help out where we could with cooking, refrigeration, laundry and a few home comforts. This would not have been possible without Bold's owner Vincent and the wonderful people he has working with him. These folks worked round the clock for days on end in terrible conditions. Many (including Vincent) did not have power in their own homes, roads were impassable and dangerous but somehow they managed to make sure that all their clients got the service they needed to keep the generators running until power was eventually restored. | |Since then I have only seen them for regular maintenance and a couple of small issues, but each time I have called them they have been attentive and quick to respond. | |I cannot praise this company enough. They got my family, and many others through one of the most devastating times I have ever experienced.

Lousy.
Description of Work: I had smoke detectors replaced because the were hard wired without battery backup--against code for township. When i asked Bold to change the batteries, I inquired about smoke detectors with batteries that last 10 years. The company did not recommend them. I therefore agreed to have the detectors with batteries that had to be changed yearly. The owner told me the company had a return service which means they would return every year to change batteries. I asked to be signed up for that service. The person who came out and changed the detectors took working hard wire detector with him. After I paid the bill for the 5 new detectors, I have not heard from the company again.

Response from Bold Electric LLC
[member name removed] was, and apparently still is, confused about her old and new smoke detectors. Her original detectors did not have the capability to take batteries so replacing them with new units where the only way to solve the problem. Their is no such thing, to my knowledge, as 10 year batteries for hard wired smoke detectors. This is an option only available for low voltage smoke detector systems which she does not have. I told her that we would come back and change her batteries after a year if she would like. This is not however a service where we call the client or sign a contract but one where if the homeowner calls us we come out and change the batteries. We did the installation on 5/18/13 approximately 2 weeks from now. Should [member name removed] like we would be happy to change her smoke detector batteries in 2 weeks when it is recommended. The price for a battery change for Mrs. Ducksworth is as of today $1,000.00 per battery. Thank You, Vincent Battista
