We have been very happy with the work. We have found Chris and his team to be knowledgable and skilled. Chris has effectively solved problems and made valuable recommendations. The work was performed and quot;neatlyand quot; and we have a high level of trust that Chris is doing things and quot;the right way.and quot; The generator has been working great and has already been tested in several power outages. Chris is also easy to work with and professional. I gave price a and quot;Band quot; only because you can probably find cheaper electricians out there, but I'm not sure I would trust the cheaper work (especially as we had already been burned by the sub-contractor who was probably the lowest bid to our genral contractor). I think Chris's prices are fair for this level of professionalism. We will continue using Lake Katonah Electric for our needs in the future and, indeed, already have future work scheduled with them.
Description of Work: Installed generator; installed sub-panel; rerouted circuits; sundry electrical repairs and improvements. Over the past year, Chris and Lake Katonah Electric installed a new generator and performed various electrical work in our house including remedying problems that were the result of poor electrical work performed by another electrical contractor (sub-contractor hired by general contractor) during a renovation.

After the numerous lenghty power outages of 2011 I decided to purchase a standby generator which would supply the entire home in the event of a power outage. After calling several dealers i contacted Lake Katonah Electric. They were extremely responsive, evaluated my needs and recommended a solution. They did a fantastic job installing the generator, delivering the generator and held my hand through the entire process. I am extremely pleased with the installation and the service and the professionalism of the company and its employees and highly recommend.
Description of Work: Evaluated my needs, estimated the all in cost and finally supplied and installed a whole house standby generator.

Lake Katonah electric was a subcontractor for a renovation project involving office space and a dining room remodel. A wiring problem was discovered by this company in the adjacent bathroom creating an emergent situation. Our power was shut off on the second floor for two days. Lake Katonah electric returned with a large crew and completed the job two days later. We were given a quote of $2000.00 for this additional work. After the work was completed, we were emailed a bill for $2600.00 without any explanation. In addition, Electrical outlets in the office were installed too low and as a result the outlet covers are unusable as the covers overlap the trim. When asked to return to the job and raise the outlets so covers could be used, this electrician became argumentative. To date, this quality issue has not been resolved and we will be forced to hire a different electrician. Let me share a quote from the email sent to by Lake Katonah Electric Owner after they received our payment: and quot; People like you make me wonder why i give a .... I should have hooked up to the firetrap wiring we found and not have said anything to youand quot;. This statement is a true sign of this companies quality and integrity. Run don't walk from this electrical service provider.
Description of Work: Hired as a subcontractor by our contractor to install ceiling lights and electrical outlets in an office and dining room.

Response from Lake Katonah Electric Inc
My company was called to install various electrical outlets in the home ,we found many live buried wires in the renovation,all outlets we installed matched existing outlet height ,we corrected most of the problems until we discovered an underlying and very dangerous condition . there was a dangerous back feed on the grounding jacket on the armored cable after further investigation we found a bathroom that was renovated by an unlicensed handy man hired from Angie's List that also did electrical work a renovation that was done illegally with no permits. after further investigation we found six buried junction box's in the walls and ceilings we realized then there was a lot of work that needed to be done . i gave an estimate of 2,000 dollars to fix the problems and install new dedicated circuits to the bathrooms and second floor ,i was 600 dollars over on my man hours and material,i did split the difference with the homeowner which he failed to mention. this customer . i completed my repairs and brought in a licensed electrical inspector to cover all the work that i performed. we are a legitimate company and value all customers no matter the size of the job. it is clear to me that based on the previous work that was done to this house and the customers practice of using unlicensed contractors and not getting permits for jobs being done in the house ,that they would rather sacrifice safety instead of doing the job right . my prices are fair and were based on time and material. as far as getting paid it took several months and many emails to get paid,this is probably standard procedure for a customer who uses unlicensed contractors. i don't have any of the nasty emails the customer sent me. I feel this customer is a predator and was caught off guard by a legitimate contractor. i would Advise any contractor to steer clear of this customer. Respectfully, Chris Weigert
