Extremely well. Alan is experienced, competent, and accomodating. He came at the last minute - we were strapped for time and needed to move those outlets before our new backsplash could be installed. Reasonable and Fair pricing.

In a short period of time Alan pinpointed the problem with a loose wire on a GFI CI Receptacle and secured it. He determined that a second GFI breaker had become defective and replaced it. The tripping problems ceased. In the course of his work, Alan showed a true passion for getting things done right and paying attention to details when problem solving. He was very easy to interact with.
Description of Work: diagnose the cause of two circuit breakers that tripped repeatedly and resolve the problem.

That was very good. He actually came the next day, which was great, not that we needed it in place right away, because we had our old one, but that was really good for us. This is my first electrical issue, so I think the price was fine. I was not upset at all. He came when he told me he would. He actually, I'm waiting on him to give me an estimate. This is someone I believe in again.
Description of Work: I had an emergency where they couldn't put in my new stove, because there was no outlet, it was hot wired.

I didn't hire them due to lack of their response. When someone is sloppy with quotes/estimates or delayed responses, I assume they're sloppy and late with their work too. For me, it's the details that count (start to finish).
Description of Work: I sent an email with a question to install a wi-fi meter or standard meter to measure/calculate tenant's usage. I received a response/estimate in a few days with a one line item (no detailed description for the work). I had a couple more questions based on that email and I never received a call back or another response by email. I assume they gave a low estimate so they could charge more when they came to do the work (there was no free estimate to check the work in my home prior the quote). Without a lot of information on the quote (services to be performed), anyone can charge as much as they want once he/she gets there to do the actual work.

The electrician and his young son, the helper, arrived on time on Saturday of a holiday weekend to replace a light switch. When I had previously turned it on I heard a buzzing sound so I was concerned that it may be a fire hazard. The job was done efficiently and neatly. We even asked for help with fluorescent lighting in another area in the house. This job was tackled with good humor and efficiently as well.

Superb! He is fast, efficient, thorough - and a straight-shooter. I had to leave during the repair and he followed all my requests perfectly. Really appreciate the quality of his work and ability to figure out what was wrong - on issues that other contractors had quoted a flat rate to figure out and repair - which would have been way more expensive.
Description of Work: Repair wiring in an older house, bad circuits, diagnosing and repairing odd electrical issues that came up in different parts of house and basement - he worked for us on several occasions.

Alan came the morning after I called him. He quickly found the problem and repaired it. He showed me what he was doing every step of the way so that I could do it myself if the problem happened again. He charged his minimum of $100, which I considered fair because he had to come from some miles away. In addition, he's a nice guy who has his customers' interests in mind.

I couldn't be happier with Alan's professionalism and quality of service. Starting from his very first visit to provide an estimate to the completion of the project, Alan was consistently friendly, honest, efficient, prompt and just really good to work with. Also, being new to home renovation projects, we had many questions (both related and unrelated to the project) and Alan was very helpful in providing practical advice and guidance. We feel very fortunate to have found Alan and would definitely like to work with him on future electrical projects that we may have.

electrician, generator service
  + 0 more
I contacted Alan primarily because I wanted to have a legitimate generator setup in my home as opposed to the pre-existing back fed set up that I inherited when I purchased the house. I had an idea of what I wanted to do and what I really appreciated about Alan was the fact that he explored all options with me and searched for the most cost-effective one right from the start. He then drew up an estimate and when I wanted to make adjustments to the job he didn't make an issue of it. Alan's work exceeded my expectations. My home is almost 100 years old and Alan came up with the least invasive solutions for getting the job done. He built and installed a separate electrical panel (not just a transfer switch) that allows for the entire home to be on generator power and not just a few select breakers. He is a knowledgeable and reasonable electrician that I would highly recommend.
Description of Work: Installation of electrical panel for generator, 3 way light switch, and outdoor outlet.

I highly recommend Alan for your electrical needs. He helped me install connection for a generator and ran a line for new outlet in the basement. All the work he performed was of the highest quality and reasonably priced. He walked me through operating my generator and connecting it, and gave me tons of excellent advice.

I was having issues with flickering lights and light switch issues. We spoke on the phone and I explained my situation. I'm sure that it sounded like a simple fix, and although I know it sounded that way, knew it would be more than that. He told me he'd be there the next day. When he arrived, he got straight to work. I showed him my issues and we started from there. After figuring out what the issue was with the switches, we moved onto the flickering lights. He thought it had to be a loose wire somewhere. He literally went through the entire house and looked in every outlet and switch to see if he could find the loose wire. After he didn't find anything, he went to the circuit breaker in my house to check for loose wires. When that also came up with nothing, we went outside to check the main breaker. I appreciated that he literally went above and beyond to help me find my issue. He told me that he thinks he found the issue and that I needed to find a part. I got it, called him on Thurs evening and he was back out on Friday to install for me. Apparently, though, that was only a minor issue that was masking the larger issue which has to do with my meter. But, I believe that he certainly did his job and then some. He clearly cares about the quality of work and service he provides and it shows. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Mr. Nichol is very friendly, promptly returns phone calls, texts, and emails, and is very professional. There was some confusion between regarding the cost as when we received the original quote it didn't contain the cost of the three electrical outlet drops though we thought it did. Still, even when things were sorted out his cost was still hundreds of dollars less than the next closest quote we had gotten. On the scheduled day, he arrived on time and got right to work after we reviewed where to place all the outlets. When he was done everything was cleaned up and he asked that we inspect the work to make sure everything was as we needed it and that we were happy with the job. Everything was installed very nicely and exactly as needed. we would definitely go with Nickel Electric again.
Description of Work: Installed a dryer electrical outlet, installed three additional outlet drops (each contained a 4 outlet box).

Great company. This work was done at my mother in laws house in NY, Mr Nichols met with my wife and her mother, reviewed the work to be, created an estimate and explained in detail what he believed needed to be done. He also explained that the "estimate" was the high end of the work range, given he was concerned with what he might find when he started the work. My mother in law agreed to the work and Mr Nichols tentatively scheduled the job for the next week. He called a couple of days before he was to arrive to reconfirm the appointment. He showed up in the morning and started to work. He set up the work schedule so that she had power in the house while he replaced the breaker box and hooked up her backup system. At noon he told her he was going out to get something for lunch and asked if she wanted anything. They ordered sandwiches, which he paid for, and he picked them up and they ate lunch together and talked. In the afternoon, my brother in law showed up and helped Mr Nichols with checking and verifying the circuits and the job was completed in the early evening. At the end, he reviewed everything with my mother in law and brother in law, adjusted the bill to actual work done ( @ 20% less than the estimate) and she paid him. She was thrilled, to say the least. She has a new electrical service, a competent, trustworthy, and knowledgeable electrician to call if she has electoral issues, and all for a substantial reduction in the original estimate. Best of all, he took the time to talk to her and sit and eat lunch with her, and established a trusting client relationship. Now I know why Nichols Electrical has a solid A rating on Angies List.

Alan is very professional and his work is of excellent standard. I bought the LED light fixtures from Home Depot and the LED bulbs. The wiring was already installed but I wanted to change everything to LED standard. Alan was prompt in returning my phone calls and setting up an appointment. He installed all 3 light fixtures in about an hour making sure to tighten the bolts that were loose and ask me which direction I wanted to lights to beam towards. He showed me how they worked with the sensor equipment and everything is in perfect order. I would highly recommend him and use him again in a heartbeat.

This job went very well. Mr. Nicol came to my house and made a difficult job look easy. He was professional and precise in running the line from the basement and in determining exactly where the cable outlet had to be placed upstairs in my breakfast room. He measured and remeasured and put it exactly in the right place. And now I have a television in my breakfast room.
