I had called and made an appointment for October 30, but then the blackout happened, and we didn't get our power back for 2 weeks. So I called to reschedule on November 13 and left a message. No one got back to me. So I called again on November 26 and got an appointment for December 6. They came over and replaced an outdoor outlet, and a lighting fixture, and were to replace an existing thermostat. They told me I had purchased the wrong thermostat, and to call back when I got the right one. With all the holidays, I didn't call back until January 2. They gave me an appointment for between 1pm and 4pm on January 7. By 4 o'clock, they hadn't come, so I called, and the person assured me they'd be here by 4:30pm. When they hadn't arrived by 4:45, I asked if we could just reschedule or have them come first thing in the morning. She said they were fully booked for the next day and the next appointment we could agree upon was the next week. She told me they were 10 minutes away, so I said fine. When the electrician came at 5pm, he asked why he couldn't have put it off until the next morning and I replied that's what I said, and told him about the conversation. His office had told him I was waiting and expected him today. There was nothing written on my ticket that they had been here before for the same job, so I got charged a service charge. I did ask them to change a light switch while they were here, since I had to pay anyway but it was wrong too, so theoretically they'd have to come back, but I'd rather try it myself than getting charged another service fee.
Description of Work: Replacing an existing thermostat. I had called them in earlier to do this with another job, and I supplied the wrong thermostat. When they came back, they still charged me for a service call.

He was excellent. He’s coming back next week to upgrade my electrical box and do some other electrical work. The original cost for replacing the circuit breaker was $150 but he gave me discount because of Angie’s List. For the next job he’s giving me a senior citizen discount. I highly recommend him. He’s very neat and he’s easy to talk to. He explains and shows everything in detail. I absolutely will use him again.
Description of Work: I used Popkin & Son Electric this week. He initially came because I had a circuit breaker that burnt; he replaced it.

I was absolutely fully impressed and satisfied with the work that Popkin Electric. Andrew Popkin promptly responded to my request for a quote. The walk throughout my house with him to discuss the work was very pleasant and helpful. He listened to what I wanted to do and provided suggestions for what may work better. His quote was thoroughly detailed and itemized, which made it easy for me to remove and add items to the scope of work. Andrew's workers were very courteous and prompt. The work required two days in the home, and my wife was very satisfied with them. They kept everything clean, worked quickly and were polite. When finished, everything worked perfectly. The work looked great and there was no indication left behind that the work had recently been done other than the fact that everything was brand new. I will need to do more electric work in the future and will definitely use Popkin Electric again. I absolutely recommend them.
Description of Work: Upgraded my electrical service to 220 amp service. Installed required electrical for central air-conditioning installation. Installed multiple outlets throughout my basement for appliance use and for lighting. Installed multiple outlets throughout my garage for appliance use and lighting. Installed two lighting fixtures and two outlets on the first floor of my home. Filed for and obtained required permits and electrical inspections. Installed a door bell.

THE APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR AFTER 4PM. TWO EMPLOYEES ARRIVED AT 7:40PM. THEY HAD COMPLICATIONS AT THE PREVIOUS JOB AND APOLOGIZED FOR THE DELAY. THEY WEREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE MODEL FAN SO THEY STUMBLED THROUGH THE INSTILLATION WHICH TOOK 1HR AND 10MIN. IN THE END THE FAN DIDN'T SIT FLUSH WITH THE CEILING SO I HAD TO CAULK AND SPACKLE TO FILL THE GAP. THE TWO EMPLOYEES WERE VERY POLITE AND DID THEIR BEST HOWEVER AT THESE PRICES I SHOULDN'T BE THE ONE TO FINISH THE JOB.
Description of Work: I HAD A CEILING FAN INSTALLED. I WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $150 MINUS $25 COUPON + TAX.

They were very good. Only once were they late and that was only because it was the first time they came to my house and they got lost. I think they do great work for a great price.

We wanted to have everything done during my husbands vacation. Andrew the owner was very positive about this & scheduled us within 4 days time. The morning they were scheduled to begin it was raining, Andrew called us early to say they couldn't work in the rain, but not to worry as he'd send multiple crews out the next day to get it done. They arrived at 8am raring to go. At 1 point 6 electricians were buzzing about the place. 1st thing they did when they arrived was throw down huge cloths to protect the floor (impressive!) they even wiped their feet! In the confusion with 3 crews they'd forgotten to bring the dryer vent, but never fear as they called for someone to bring it & he showed up on a motorcycle with it 15 minutes later. Every one of them worked at their assigned job from start to finish. No goof offs, no gabbing in non-English. They were friendly, asked us exactly where we wanted the washer, dryer & outside light. We asked for a typed receipt-it came by mail in 2 days time.
Description of Work: Popkin ugraded our service to 200amps. Installed a new 30 circuit panel with main breaker, updated service to the house with PVC conduit, added a ground rod and grounded what needed to be grounded outside, installed a new ground wire under the kitchen sink and filed electrical inspection papers. They also ran a 220 line for relocating the clothes dryer (they also made the hole for, supplied and installed the dryer vent), ran a new 120 line for relocating the washer and installed a double head motion detector light on the side of the house, they also agreed to look at my non-working post light at no charge.

When I initially called I let them know of the type of roof I had and the pitch and that there is only access from the outside. After several reschedules they finally sent out one person to fix the fan and after being out there a while (never on the roof) he called his boss and said that it was against their policy if they cannot access the work from the inside, which they knew was not possible from the beginning. So I had him just fix the doorbells and leave.
Description of Work: They were to fix a situation I had with a different company and two doorbells.
