Description of Work: I had a serious electrical issue. I called during regular business hours and my call was answered by an answering machine. I left a message explaining my problem and left my name and phone number twice - requesting they call me back. They never called me back. I ended up calling Mel Carr Electric who were very prompt and had an electrician here within a couple hours.

Description of Work: Called them because I had a loud buzzing coming from my electrical panel in the basement. He was concerned and offered to come that same day because he said it could mean one of the breakers was about to go but we could not meet late in the day. He came the next morning at 9am. He opened the panel cover and he almost got electrocuted! The previous owners had a strange configuration in the box and one of the wires was actually touching the metal which caused the spark. As I suspected, the the outdoor lighting which was not installed properly during construction and was also not fixed properly by another electrician 2 years ago was causing the buzzing. It was shorting out was causing the loud buzzing. He disconnected it and also removed the dangerous wiring inside the box. Took about an hour to trouble shoot and fix. Very courteous and explained everything in great detail. I have much more electrical work that needs fixing and will definitely be calling him again!

Basically, we had them in to fix a light switch that wasn't working. Then, they did that and checked our panel and found that it has been a recall panel. They gave us a whole bunch of information on why that recall panel should not be here because of potential faulty breakers. I ended up putting in a new electrical box after calling around for some prices and who is the best. They put it in the time period they said. It's working great and I am glad that we fixed it. He was very knowledgeable and knew about the panel and was good about providing backup documentation as to why it needed to be fixed. Then, he gave us a very good price to do it.

Initially we had Rob estimate the work before we purchased the home. Rob was a great help, and allowed us to make an informed decision. Once we closed on the home we called Rob for an appointment to fix some of the major issues that we had. The final charges were much less than the estimates, and the work turned out great! With an older home you will always find random electrical issues, and Rob took the time to point out potential future issues, as well as showed us what we may want to look into coming up in the near future. He also gave us a good rundown on the current status of the wiring in the home, and other helpful information. I would absolutely recommend Rob. He was professional, punctual and extremely knowledgable about the work. It is great to find someone you can trust when it comes to this type of work.
Description of Work: We had a new electrical box installed, as well as multiple outlets changed. We also had some trouble shooting done, and further estimates for possible future work.

Rob and his assistant were excellent. There is nothing bad that I can say about the work that they performed, the time frame in getting it done, or the amount that he charged. He was very honest and fair in his estimate, and when he found that some existing wires were already there, and that he could use them, instead of installing new wires at a higher cost, he was honest with us and told us so, but did give us the option of having him install new wires (which we opted not to do.) Rob was so good, that when we ran into an issue at a friends house with a tripping circuit, I immediately referred my friend to call Rob. Rob was able to come over within a couple of hours, and found and fixed the problem quickly, with minimal charge.connc
Description of Work: When we moved into our new house, the inspector "missed" quite a bit, including that the power into the house was not grounded and that the connection from the outside leading into the circuit breaker box was frayed. When it rained, the frayed connection resulted in water coming in through the breaker box in the basement. Rob corrected this, grounded the house and replaced the breaker box. We also had him wire the kitchen for new appliances, as it was not "graded"(?) correctly for a new stove and new dishwasher. Apparently, the old owners had the correct wires in place, but never had them connected.

FANTASTIC!! Called Rob and he answered personally (no voice-mail, no secretary/answering service, no "let me call you back," etc.). He was friendly and professional and listened to what I needed done. He scheduled a very late afternoon appointment two days out to accommodate completing the work before my going on vacation (very much appreciated). He was prompt, professional and friendly. He refused to walk in my house within putting "booties" on his shoes, even though his shoes were clean. He performed the jobs efficiencly, quickly and thoroughly. His rate was far less than I would have expected to pay, given the time involved and his getting out here so quickly. I wish I could find a plumber, carpenter, mason or other contractor with this level of professionalism, service and reasonable rates. You can NOT GO WRONG with Rob O'Keefe.

We had a great experience with Rob. Rob and his helper installed 4 LED Recessed Lights in our kitchen. They removed the old lighing fixture and took care of the disposal. He responded quickly with a proposal, arrvied on time for the install and completed the job quickly. He lowered the price by $100 since he was able to complete the job faster than he had originally anticipated. My wife and I were very pleased with the end result. Rob proposed 4 lights with a dimmer switch and he was spot on. Perfect number of lights & placement. He spent a fair amount of time designing the layout that provided the best lighting. I would not hestitate to hire Rob again for any future electrical needs.

I really can't say enough good about O'Keefe. Every time we call, O'Keefe is able to find time to come to our house quickly, arrives on time and fixes things for a fair price. We were concerned about an older indoor outlet in our downright-ancient (1850) house and wanted to check on a few other things, too - a non-working ceiling fixture, an outdoor outlet and what seemed to be a random cord in our backyard. Rob replaced the outlet in our living room in no time and looked at the wiring for the bad ceiling fixture and outdoor outlet. The cord in our backyard turned out not to be connected to any power source, so we can remove it. He gave us a quick estimate on re-wiring the fixture and cleared us to use the outdoor outlet. Rob is great to work with - he's punctual, honest, professional and efficient.
Description of Work: We had O'Keefe look at a loose, old outlet that wasn't functioning properly, which Rob fixed, and also had him look at a non-working ceiling light fixture, a loose cord in our backyard, and an outdoor outlet.

I like him, and he is a real nice guy and easy to do business with. He seems like he is honest as well; and I really don’t have any complaints.
Description of Work: I used the services of O'Keefe Electric and it is owned by Rob. The last time I used him was probably 3-4 months ago and I have used him several times. He has done a service upgrade and he has wired a basement for me. He has also layered some lighting and done a bunch of random jobs.

We were very please with O'Keefe electric. They were efficient, honest, inexpensive. We would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: The florescent light fixture in our kitchen worked intermitently. My husband replaced the bulbs, but the problem continued. Finally we checked with Angie's list and called a few electricians. Rob O'keefe responded quickly and offered to come over within the hour. He quickly figured out what was wrong and fixed it. He promised that if the problem wasn't solved, he would come back at no charge.

They charged me $125 for an estimate. My experience was good. The guy who came out also gave us really good options of everything. I got a different water heater, so he gave me an option to save on the water bill. He was very good. He was very responsive. He was on time.
Description of Work: O'Keefe Electric gave us an estimate back in June. He came out and looked at the situation we had with our electrical panel, and also the water heater that was located close to the electrical panel. The estimate was on having all of that fixed.

This contractor was a pleasure to work with - he is very professional and considerate. We had a power outage that the source of was left undetected by several other attempted contractors to locate. Rob O'Keefe discovered the problem. He discovered that there had been a fire in between our outside wall and that there was still current throughout the house. I had so much confidence in his honesty and integrity, that I gave him the keys to my house and left. Everything was taken care of and he called me several times with updates. He dealt with both my difficult insurance company (Liberty Mutual) and our local power company regarding all their specific rules and regulations. It was all completed when we returned home from vacation. This is truly a class company and I would be pleased to supply anyone with a personal reference.
Description of Work: Completely rewired and installed new updated power box to our outdated home. Makes sleeping here a lot more comfortable.

Things went really well. Rob is honest and fair, and I trust him being in my home and around the kids. His work is excllent. I put B for responsiveness as he is very busy and I did have to wait quite a bit at times to get the jobs done. However he comes when he says he will and on time. He is a non smoker and neat and clean.
Description of Work: Rob did quite a bit of work for us. He pulled wiring from our basement to the attic to finish a room up there. Then wired the entire room for lights, outlets, including a dedicated outlet for A/C. He also included switch for the lights. He also replaced our entire circuit breaker box as it was getting rusted from our damp basement.Rob also put up new lights at the end of our driveway. There were various other minor repairs done as well. In addition, last year we had a problem with a power surge damaging and melting some of our electric. Rob came out after 11pm to get us to a safe place with the home. He worked seamlessly with the power company to facilitate that repair as well.
