I was happy with their work. Speedy call back and scheduling. The electrician was professional and friendly. He went right to work and figured out what was wrong. The wiring for the phone jack was from the 70's and had been disconnected on the second floor of the building. The electrician figured out what was wrong and rewired the jack.
Description of Work: Trouble shooting of old wiring for a phone jack and instillation of a new jack.

Frank called me back the same day I left a message on his answering machine. I told him I wanted 7 outlets replaced to accommodate 3 prong plugs, and we made an appointment for 8AM this morning. I neglected to ask for a price. Keshad, a very nice professional young man, arrived at about 8:10. After doing a walkthrough of my apartment to see the outlets I wanted upgraded, he went out to his truck to get what he needed. This used up time and I was a bit surprised he hadn't brought them with him. He got started about 8:25 AM and finished in about an hour. He also was nice enough to explain to me how the switches work in my apartment's switch box. He was neat, and put the refuse in a bag I gave him. He charged $275, which since the cost of the materials was low, was a bit high. When he left, all the outlets he replaced were working.
Description of Work: Seven electric outlets were upgraded to accomodate 3 prong plugs. Since this work was done, I learned that there are much nicer plastic outlets that are not so tight as the ones Blaze Electric installed. You would think for $275 they could have used something other than the extremely cheap low end outlets they installed in my apartment. Live and learn. I wouldn't use them again because of this.

I received a call back promptly after my inquiry. I explained my need for a replacement fluorescent lighting fixture that would fit into the narrow space available between the pipes in my basement ceiling, and was given the approximate price. An electrician arrived more or less at the agreed time early the next morning with a fixture that fit the bill, and installed it quickly. Problem solved!

Response from Blaze Electric Inc
I spoke with my service man about the comments that were made. He told me that he went to the house after hours ( which is night rates) and they asked how much the service call would be. He told them $175.00 for after hours rates. They told him they got a price from someone for $90.00 so he left. ( That would not be at night). He was not nasty nor did he say anything that would make anyone say he was nasty. He told them he couldn't do if for that price. He could have called the office and asked if we can do better which would have been $125.00 the day rate but not $90.00. He felt they would not be happy being charged anymore that the $90.00. When a service man comes out after hours we have to pay him night rates. We never did any work over there and our reputation is great so a report like this bothers me. We try to take care of all of our customers and give them the wonderful service they deserve and are accustomed to getting. You can look at all the other reports we get. I guess you cant please everyone but we do try.

Two identical halogen-lamp ceiling fixtures stopped functioning at roughly the same time. As it turned out, one had a faulty transformer and the other a burned out socket. The Blaze repairman arrived exactly on time a day after the initial call, correctly diagnosed the problem in minutes, switched the good transformer from one fixture to the other, and came back a week later to finish the job when I had replaced the socket from the original supplier.

First of all you can't beat it when a contractor shows up early for a service. It's amazing especially when you're used to waiting for services (cable, phone, deliveries) that show up late. It helps to have an early appointment. Frank was a pleasure to work with. We had a new concession trailer that had no power to some outlets. He diagnosed the problem and worked to fix it, all the while dealing with a very loud generator. When he was done, he made sure to explain the work he did so that we understood the problem and what he did to correct it. Along the way he marked which outlets went with each fuse and labeled them in the fuse box to make our lives easier when we used the trailer. I would definitely use Blaze Electric again and recommend them to all of my friends. His card is going in the good contractors box.
Description of Work: Service call for trailer: 1. troubleshooting cause of no power to outlets 2. found improper wiring of all gfci receptacles 3. rewired all gfci receptacles

A mysterious power outage affecting only parts of our building on New Year's eve and several frustrating calls to Con Edison were resolved by prompt emergency service from Blaze Electric. Their electricians were courteous, and took the time to make sure we had the necessary information to apply to Con Edison for reimbursement when it turned out that the problem was with the power companies wiring from the street to the house.

The work went very smoothly. It was easy to call and make an appointment. Someone came same day we called. The worker was very professional and quick. Only problem I had was that, while they listed what they did on the receipt, the fee was not itemized. This seems like a minor problem that could be easily remedied. Compared to one other estimate we got, they do not seem to be overpriced.
Description of Work: Find cause of lack of electricity to several outlets and basement. Repair faulty circuit breaker to restore electricity. Replace transformer in boiler. Replace external outlet that had water damage.

They were able to fix the electrical problem and get service to that portion of the house. I was very grateful because we haven't had electricity in that part of the house for years. He arrived at 9:00 and he left at around 2:30 so the job didn't take that long compared to the price I was charged.
Description of Work: They performed troubleshooting in my house. They had to figure out why a certain portion of the electrical service in my house was not working. They also installed an electical thermostat.

From the beginning when my first call was returned in 60 seconds for an appointment the following day, the experience was great. He came 10 minutes early (when does that happen?) and the fact that someone would come back and not make you take another dsy off, was amazing.
Description of Work: I needed 3 repairs to the socket over the washer, a new fixture over the desk and the light in the bathroom. The light in the bathroom ended up requiring a new fixture that I needed to go out and choose. The first two items were repaired very quickly and we parted company so that he could go to his nest job and I could shop. After I called to say I had found the fixture, we arranged a time later in the afternoon to install the new light. A different person came but was equally as knowledgable and quci.

Four guys arrived early in the morning,around 9:30am, and they began to work immediately. They worked to together to install each item requested until it was completed. They swept up after themselves, even though there was still allot of dust to clear up later which was okay. They worked neatly and professionally. At the completion of the work I gave them the payment, plus gratuity. We were very happy with the completed work.
Description of Work: I had 3 switches ran replacing drawstrings to 3 ceiling lights. I had two lines power run into my living room. I had one electrical outlet put in, and 4 electrical outlets replaced. They were very careful in how they did the work, and at the end patched the work up at our request.

They did excellent work and explained everything to me as they completed the job. The work the other contractor did was confusing but after a thorough search they were able to assure the work was safe. They were polite and even came back after the job was complete to show me how to set the timer on the outdoor lights they installed.

I called company on Wednesday, 18 March and left my phone number; this may have been a message service. I received a call back within 1/2 hour. I described what I wanted and gave information about my electrical panel and the proximity of the room where the outlets were to be installed (right above where the cellar panel is located). We made an appointment for Friday at 7:30-8:00 a.m., since I was unavailable for Thursday. The rep called at about 7:20 on Friday to say he was held up in traffic and would be late; he actually arrived within the agreed upon time span. He looked at what I wanted. I had originally asked for three outlets, but added one more. Because of my house's brownstone structure and where I wanted the outlets, the job could not be done excactly like I wanted. He explained why and we agreed on the best way to proceed. He gave me the estimate and asked if I wanted it done then. I agreed and the person who did the work came in and started. The job was completed at about 2:00 p.m. The workman handled the work efficiently and expertly. The work was done neatly, considering he had to move back and forth between the basement living room and the not very clean cellar. Except for the installation itself, one would not know anyone had been working in the living room. Since this was not a big job, I did not get other estimates and the cost was just slightly more that anticipated ($650).
Description of Work: Install circuit breaker and four electrical outlets.
