The job went great!!! Team was amazing and they knew what they were ding stone-cold. They always went an extra mile and spent extra time on everything to make sure it was done right the first time. I am thrilled with the way the job was done. Totally will use these guys again if I need electrical work
Description of Work: BQ did a full electrical service upgrade for the house, including new service panel, new meter panel, all breakers and street connectors. The team was on time, professional, respectful and always went an extra mile to help. They also installed a surge protector for the entire house and a number of additional outlets in the garage. Brian gave a super estimate and worked with me on price throughout the job.

I called them for my elderly neighbor who had a power surge from her pole outside. It resulted in shorting out her entire system. Brian came on Labor Day to assess the situation and promised to come back the next day to do the entire job. Tommy and Sonny came and couldn't have been nicer. They would not leave until every outlet , light, t.v. etc. was checked. They were very patient with all the questions and confusion. I would definitely use them myself for any electrical problems and upgrades. I would highly recommend them.

It went great. The whole team was a pleasure to work with. They are super responsive, and I couldn't believe how knowlegable and friendly the inspection team was. They schedule the inspection, two people come to look at all of the wiring, outlets, etc. Then they come back with a report. I never felt pressured by Brian who is our sales rep to do everything they recommend, but we are definitely going to move forward with some of the work they recommended.

I purchased a $39 whole-house inspection, and scheduled an appointment. Bill (the tech) and another tech came over and did their thing. Very knowledgable and professional. Next step was an appointment with Brian, the owner. He came by and gave an estimate. Scheduled a time for the install, but due to a hiccup started very late. I was a bit frustrated at the delay, but Brian was a stand-up guy and made things right by me for the delay. Not too many owners would admit fault and try to make things right. Bill and several others finally came and did an excellent job on the install. Some cracks here and there due to wiring, but I can easily deal with it. My wife felt Bill and his team were very professional, polite, and efficient. I would recommend them to my friends and family, as well as use them again myself.
Description of Work: Installed interior outlets for the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and basement. Installed two exterior outlets, as well as a whole-house surge protector.

Excellent service. Brian, the owner, called back within the time given on placing my order. He was very detailed in describing what would be done and guaranteeing that there would be no leaks or problems with the installation. I'm counting on that! The two young men that came for the installation called ahead of arrival as promised, were very courteous and did the job well within the time frame given. I was given an explanation again of the job that would be done and after finished they checked everything out to make sure there were no vibrations or noises. I didn't go up on the roof myself, but my son will check it out this weekend. One of the best experiences I've ever had with an installation--I'd definitely go to this contractor again if any electric service is needed in my home.

I'm very happy with the work that BQ Electric performed. Bryan was easy to reach, responsive and communicative throughout the whole process. His crew is really top notch and professional, they work quickly, get the job done right and avoid making a mess. Even though the house was undergoing remodeling, they were extremely considerate and took great care to avoid damaging anything (floors / counters). There was a slight mix up with the work to be done but Bryan and his crew took responsibility and quickly resolved the situation to my satisfaction. Overall a pleasure to work with, very competitive pricing and a great value. BQ electric will be my first choice for any future electrical work.

Brian, the owner, as well as his workers were all very professional and was able to juggle his schedule to make sure the work was completed on very short notice as my daughter's 21st birthday was to be celebrated over the weekend. No lights or outlets for a backyard party would've been a disaster. I had recently installed a ceiling fan in my Florida room that I showed Brian and asked him if he could make the top piece flush with the ceiling (I wasn't able to). He offered to fix it free of charge and when he checked further he noticed I was missing a part which could've caused the fan to dislodge and fall. He disconnected it and ordered the part and is scheduled to fix it when the part comes in. Brian is a conscientious, fair electrician who I would highly recommend and will certainly use for future electrical work.
Description of Work: Identified a serious potential electrical hazard due to lack of grounding of outlets in my pool deck area. Disconnected wiring that was under the concrete and ran a new line to feed the outlets and backyard lighting from a circuit breaker subpanel.

Brian is the owner and a master electrician. He is accessible and extremely responsive at all times. From the beginning he was the first company to quote the job. His quote turned out to be most fair for the professionalism he displayed. His knowledge of how to get the job done saved me money as well. I interviewed 4 others and none were as responsive to my needs as Brian was. The job was completed to perfection. It was neat and meticulous. They even avoided damaging the ceiling that others said they could not guarantee. Brian had two of his electricians on the job. When they encountered challenges, because running the wires to the panel was not an easy run, Brian rolled up his sleeves and figured it out for them. Other electricians thought that they would have to run the wiring outside the house at a greater cost. Brian's expertise in construction saved me several hundred dollars. Additionally, the workers told me after he left, that Brian treats them very well and is great to work for. The workers were professional, neat, respectful and caring as well. What excellent training for a small business. I was extremely impressed from beginning to end. My decision to use BQ Electric turned out to be one of those great decisions in life. Brian is caring, takes pride in his work and a man of his word. He is generous in providing materials that were not discussed to complete the job. The crew was equipped to handle anything that could be anticipated. My experience with BQ more than exceeded my expectations. I am a delighted and satisfied customer. I could not imagine a better experience from beginning to end!!!! This is the company for your electrical needs, big job or small job. Hands down, consider them a great choice. I never thought that I would ever feel so compelled to give such a glowing review to someone that I had to hire to do work in my house. Imagine feeling happy when paying for a project that you dreaded. I am!
Description of Work: BQ installed a 110 outlet and a 220 outlet, added breakers to electrical panel, installed and mounted a microwave oven, provided a 4 wire chord for range and ran wires to the panel.

They arrived at the prearranged time. They worked carefully in order not to mess up and disturb the area they were working with.. They put a drop cloth to make sure there was no dirt. And when the job was finished, they wiped around the ceiling to make sure that there were no marking.They worked very well as a team.
Description of Work: I had a fixture in the ceiling with a broken socket and that's what they fixed.

I was extremely pleased with the work and the way it was handled. They showed me everything and explained what was needed to be done.

I found BQ Electric via Angie?s List after encountering less than professional local electricians, which weren?t too good with promptly returning phone calls and who seemed more bothered by the ?small scope of work? that I was looking at having done. I was looking to run a couple of lines for air conditioners (one was a new line going up to the second floor), plus I was trying to determine if my electric panel needed to be upgraded. I selected BQ because of its sterling rating and reputation on Angie?s List. I contacted BQ via email through Angie?s List late in the evening, probably close to 10pm. The next morning, I received a confirmation email stating that they would contact me via phone. Sure enough, I had received a call from Brian around 9:30am. We spent over twenty (20) minutes on the phone discussing the scope of work. I found his pricing to be fair and straightforward. I scheduled my work for the following week. The day of the appointment, the electricians called at 8:05am informing me that they were en route and would arrive in approximately a half hour. When the two electricians arrived, they were easily identifiable, as they were in a BQ Electric emblazoned company van and were wearing BQ Electric company shirts. The technicians promptly placed tarps at the entrance and in the work areas to protect the floor and furniture/appliances. To their credit, when they checked the first floor wiring, and to my pleasant surprise, they determined that a new line wasn't necessary. After ascertaining that the line was a dedicated line, they replaced the existing breaker in the electric panel with a lower amperage breaker, due to the gauge of the existing wire. I?d like to point out that this alternate work solution was completed at a fraction of the original quote. The technicians performed their work under less-than-ideal conditions, including a hot attic and cramped basement crawlspace, and performed their work fastidiously. They also identified and corrected a wiring issue in the basement crawlspace. They cleaned-up and, except for the new outlet, left little evidence of their work. Overall, I would say that BQ Electric was professional, trustworthy, competent and affable. I would certainly give BQ Electric a call for any future work needed around my home.
Description of Work: Ran in a new line (electric outlet for air conditioner) from the basement crawlspace up to the second floor, verified ground-floor outlet was good for air conditioner by lowering breaker in electric panel, and identified and corrected a wiring issue in the basement crawlspace.

My 2 family rental had electrical issues wherein the upstairs tenants could not use their air conditioning because the circuits would shut off. I found out that LIPA had also shut off the electricity for the ground floor due to non-payment by my previous tenant; however, there was still power in the ground floor apartment, which seemed to have been piggy backed off the 2nd floor. I asked Brian to fix whatever the issues were. I explained that I lived out of state. It is not easy being a long-distance landlord and I am always fearful of contractors or vendors that may take my money and run without providing me the services as promised. Brian immediately put me at ease, and I am happy to say that today, both apartments have very happy tenants, and I am one happy landlord.
Description of Work: Brian provided service as promised. He explained what needed to be done in detail, and everything was done as discussed.
