Everything went well. The job was professionally done they were courteous and they cleaned up before they left. They even gave counsel on why the switch panels and boxes needed to be replaced. The advice was sound and I will definitely use them in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced a broken switch, re-routed some wires and installed new 12/2 BX cable in the garage and provided a PROFESSIONAL FEEDBACK ON switch panels and switch boxes to be replaced.

We're a property management company and we called them to work on several properties. They were outstanding. Our tenants like them, the quality of the work was great and the invoicing was perfect. We will continue to use them for all of our future issues. We have a few difficult properties with difficult tenants and they were just great! Again, even our difficult tenants like them. What more can you say. We even got a thank you call from one of our most difficult tenants after Blaze Electric's visit. Without question, we will continue to use them.

At 1:30 am we heard a pop and most of the electric in the apartment went out. When we tried to slip the switch on the circuit breaker we were unable and heard a buzz. At 8:00am we called the electrician who had performed services for us before. Unfortunately, due to the holiday, they were very busy and were not sure if they would be able to take on another job, but we were informed to call back later just in case. I looked on Angie's list and found Blaze. We called and left a message with the service. No more than five minutes later, we received a call back. The technician arrived at our home promptly and was very professional and considerate. He located the short, fixed the problem and cleaned up afterwards. If we ever have an electrical issue again, we will definitely call Blaze and will certainly recommend them to our neighbors.

ceiling fans, electrician, lighting
  + 1 more
The electrician was very knowledgeable when it came to installing the fan in the second bedroom. He got it up and running as well as making sure the remote was worked too. However, he made a miscalculation with our ceiling fans in the master bedroom and the living room, previously installed by another provider who was not an electrician. The initial problem with these two fans turned out to be with the receivers for the hand held remote control devices. The electrician informed us that the individual who installed the ceiling fans did not reset the receiver for the living room or the bedroom fan, so if you were in the living room and tried to turn on the ceiling fan/light, it would turn the fan and light on in the bedroom. Now if you were in the bedroom and used the remote to turn on the ceiling fan, it would not turn the living room fan/light on. He then preceded to take down our bedroom fan, which we did not have a problem with and reset the receiver. We had showed him from the start that the problem was with the living room fan. If you clicked that fan, it turned on the bedroom fan/light. None the less, he decided to take down the bedroom fan and reset the receiver that in our opinion did not need to be reset, he then had to reattach the fan to the ceiling. It turned out to be far more difficult to put it back up as it was to take it down. I have to credit the electrician for his persistence he finally reinstalled the fan and informed me that the bedroom fan remote would only work on the bedroom fan. Problem was, it only worked on the bedroom ceiling fan; the remote for the living room fan would also turn on the fan/light in the bedroom from the living room and not the other way round. The electrician did take the remote for the living room fan and tried clicking it all around the living room fan as well as pulling the chains before informing us that we need a new receiver and remote controller as the one we have is old. In conclusion, the electrician did a very good job. He was polite, informative and very professional.
Description of Work: 1. He installed a ceiling fan in the second bed room with a universal remote control. 2. Checked bathroom light fixture because of dimming and discovered the problem was with the light bulbs. 3. Reset the receiver for a ceiling fan in the master bed room.

I called the company this morning and left a message. Within twenty minutes I received a call back and was told to give the technician a couple of hours to get to my home. I went out to run some errands and about 30 minutes after I returned the technician was ringing my bell. He was very pleasant, professional, and quick. Within ten minutes tops the job was done. I would definitely recommend this company again. I really appreciated the fast response time not having to wait all day for service.

I was very pleased with Blaze Electric Inc. They did an excellent job. They spoke to me before they actually did the job and they explained everything. There were a few things that I needed to do that I didn't know about, like the new box. They actually recommended all the services and I went ahead with that. I was very satisfied. Anytime they had a question, they would call me just to confirm what they were going to do. They made sure I knew what was happening besides what I already knew. I would be definitely calling them when I have more money to do more stuff. Their prices were reasonable. I am sure, with the job they did, I had no problems with it.
Description of Work: Blaze Electric Inc. did the box. They did a lot of lines. It's a big job.

The technician arrived on time and went to work immediatly, he was plesant and professional and suggested an upgrade to the ceiling fan installation that was appropriate and we approved the work. The tech did not make a mess either in my bathroom or my daughter's bedoom where the ceiling fan was installed. I would call Blaze again without hesitation

House had been uninhabited for 2 years and squatted in for 2 years before that. Frank Caporale the same day I called, and did estimate, then a couple of days later sent his worker and a helper who did a lot of work in a short time. The inspector from Con Edison came while they were working and reached an agreement about what exactly had to be done. The inspector from Con Ed said I could get an account with Con Ed the next day and I did. Then one more bit of work had to be done after the inspection, and now we have power! I definitely recommend Blaze Electric.
Description of Work: Improved existing panels and ground and wiring to external meter, and most importantly got a permit to turn the service on. This took him 10 days but it could have taken months to get through the city permitting system.

Frank picked the phone and when I asked him to give an appointment, he was outright rude - "we cannot give any appointments in this business". He was unwilling to understand whether you work or not. Best he could do was have a technician call 20 minutes before he arrives at my home! Also he implied many times he had several people waiting for him so say yes or no and move on. I wonder if the cause of his arrogant style is that he attracts plenty of traffic being quite high in Angie's list. I will never contact such a person or business again.

I called him on Monday asking to have my ceiling fan fixed and have the knob replaced. He was very flexible with setting up a time to come, because I told him I prefered Tuesday afternoon. The technician came a bit later than the agreed time, but was able to solve the issue with the ceiling fan. It was something electrical. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.

This was a great job from the initial phone call until the the minute these guys cleaned up and walked out. Very professional. The owner Frank returned my call within minutes, set up a day for his technician Steve to do a walk through. Steve showed up, did the walk through, assessed the job (which was fairly large) and gave an estimate. Despite the size of the job he said he could get it done in one full day. We set a date and Steve and his crew showed up, worked all day and finished the job by that afternoon. I was very satisfied with the work done and the results looked exactly how he said it would. I have contracted with Blaze again to install a line for a washing machine and electric dryer and a heated bathroom floor.

I had just bought a house and was having electrical billing problems because my meters were wired to the panels incorrectly. Frank was punctual, thorough, and professional in diagnosing the problem. I called on a Saturday and we made an appointment for the following Monday. He presented me with a few options, and we decided on the best one together. At no time did I feel pressured; Frank was very good about explaining the work he was proposing. I had to leave town for a week for a planned trip, but when I returned and called Frank, he was able to book me for the very next morning. Keshad was punctual, thorough, and professional in fixing the problem with my panels. He updated the panel schedules after he finished separating out the circuits so I could see where all of the circuits were now. He worked steadily and left no mess for me to clean up. I'm thrilled!

I used Angie's List to identify three electricians with "A" ratings and a history of consistent Angies' List recognition for excellence. I selected FBLAZE because of several reasons: 1) Mike, the installer conducted a thorough assessment of the job, during the 40 minute estimate. to include examination of existing meters; checked connections between basement and first floor; and advised me of each issue or challenge that may or may not surface when the actual work began. 2) Mike spoke with the owner, Frank through out to discuss findings and review options; 3)Within 5 hours I received a PDF proposal outlining the complete project, inclusive of job description, pricing and payment schedule. The job today, right on time. Frank, the owner was there to review the project with me again, deliver the NYC Permit, answer my questions and reassure me that everything will be completed as promised. Day one is complete and on schedule. Mike worked all day with a break, cleaned the are very nicely and confirmed starting time for tomorrow. The project is scheduled to conclude on Wednesday, May 1. I expect to be pleased and fully satisfied with their work product.
Description of Work: Installation of a "landlord meter" which involves separating curcuits between basement and first floor apartment, running myriad cables, etc. It is a big project which requires obtaining a permit from the City of NY and inspection by Con Edison, etc.

After reviewing repairs and needed upgrades at my home, I signed up with Angie's List, to have access to vendor references. Blaze Electric Inc. was one of the vendors chosen. I contacted the company and left a message. Frank returned my call within 24 hrs. We scheduled an appt for Frank to come and evaluate the scope of work, and submit a proposal. Although I thought the price was too high, I selected Blaze based on references. The technician showed up on time, worked efficiently, very personable and knowledgeable, and answered all questions put to him. I would definitely use them again. NOTE: The day after my project was completed, I contacted Frank because one fixture was not lighting, and I wanted to make a change in location for one fixture. Frank quickly rescheduled the tech to return and make the changes. I'm loving every minute of my lighting upgrades.
Description of Work: Relocated one ceiling fixture from a bedroom to the foyer. Removed a flourescent light in the kitchen, and installed (4) recessed lights in it's place. Also, installed (4) recessed lights in the bedroom. The overall cost included supplying all new recessed lighting.

The electrician was on time and very professional. He removed the old fan and took it out to garbage. When installing new fan he had to plaster the ceiling around the fan to get a perfect fit. I was very pleased with the finished work. He also offered to clean up. I will use .Blaze Electric again.

Great experience with this company. In the mist of the drama Sandy caused I contacted Blaze the morning after Sandy hit. Spoke to Frank and he send his people out the same day. We could not get our power restored by Con Edison before this work was done. They repaired the damage right away for us and our neighbor. Would definitely recommend this company.
