Advanced Electric

It was great. He told me when he would be here and he arrived on time. He took down the old fan and installed the new one in a little more than an hour. He was neat, polite and reasonable. I would highly recommend him. Five stars!

Ken was lovely and did a great job rewiring our old house.

Great work, lovely man. Couldn't have been better. I'm very happy with my new ceiling fan and wall mount for the remote control. Ken bought the fan himself, saving me the trouble, and did not charge for time spent doing that. I am happy to support this business and will call him again when needed and refer him to others. (The price below is give or take $10. I don't remember exactly how much the work cost.)

Very efficient and knowledgeable. Communication was always great.

After reading his great reviews on Angie’s List, I knew I wanted to contact him about 2 GFCI outlets that were not working. I called him to get an estimate on how much it would cost to fix both of them since he provides free phone estimates. He took his time on the phone explaining his pricing and his pricing seemed reasonable so I decided to hire him. I had multiple problems with my outlets. The outlets had a loose connection and there was a short. He spent in total about 3.5 hours trying to fix it. One of the times that he thought it was fixed, we tested both outlets and both worked so I paid him and he left. About 10 minutes after he left, I called him to tell him it wasn’t working and he said he he would come back immediately. He came back right away and this time the problem was fixed for good. He gave me a 6 month warranty on the outlets too. Ken is an honest guy and he’s really friendly too. At a time when most contractors are taking advantage of this pandemic and overcharging, Ken is clearly not. After he got paid and left, he could have not answered my phone call or told me he would come back a different day because he had other appointments to get to. Obviously he didn’t do that. He cares about helping people and doing the right thing for the customer. Needless to say, he will be the first person that I call the next time I have an electrical problem.

Ken is a great electrician with a great personality as well. My two GFCI outlets were not working. He realized it was a short and fixed it for a reasonable price. There is a reason he has a 5 star rating on Angie's list. Call him up for his free phone estimate and you will see what I'm talking about. He's definitely the first person I will call for any future electrical problems in the Bronx area.

Amazing work. I called late on Monday night, stating I needed help as half of my home was not getting power. Ken was able to come out next day and fix my breakers. He was prompt with timing, knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to walk my through what he was doing and why which is great as novice to home repairs. 10/10 will phone him again for all future repairs.

Mr Lanier was very knowledgeable and efficient. We had two sockets that were completely dead, and two sockets that would cause all the lights to go off if the AC was plugged in. After seeing Mr Lanier, those problems are a thing of the past! All dead sockets were replaced & now working with no problems! I would recommend Mr Lanier to fix any electrical issues you may have!

After reading the many positive reviews on Angi for Advanced Electric I reached out and was immediately impressed with Mr. Lanier’s professionalism, friendliness and honesty. I needed a separate outlet and circuit breaker voltage for my air conditioner to operate on its own. He came to my apartment and explained everything necessary to get the job done right and was very thorough so I knew exactly what to expect. He gave me two options of going into the wall or an outside casing. I chose the latter. We picked a date, which I had to reschedule because of jury duty, and he was very flexible. I have nothing but great things to say and would definitely recommend Mr. Lanier. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, dependable, competent and has a high regard for what the customer wants. If you are looking for a professional that will be on time, communicate clearly, complete the work exactly as you desire and provide a level of service rarely found these days, look no further. He is top notch and I would highly endorse him. I am very happy with the end result. Thank you so much!

Ken has been our go-to electrician for the past several years, and has completed projects large and small for our house ranging from a simple switch repair to complex installation of a new circuit and breaker box in our garage. Last Spring he installed the wiring and emergency shut-off switch for a split unit air system, which required running a conduit from the basement to the second floor. We have now used the new system through a hot summer and a cold winter, and everything has worked perfectly. For the larger projects, Ken has always been happy to make adjustments as needed to accommodate evolving requirements. He is professional and courteous and I recommend him without hesitation.

KEN, from Advanced Electric, did an excellent job. The cost to do the job was very reasonable. He arrived on time and kept us informed every step of the way. He upgraded our outdated electrical panels and circuit breakers doing all work to code, correcting wiring issues found along the way. I will definitely hire Advanced Electric again for any of our electrical needs.

Ken is the consummate professional. He knows his stuff no matter how small as replacing old outlets. He is knowledgeable and thorough. He responded to my call immediately and was flexible with coming over. I would highly recommend him and would hire him again.

I have an old house in the Woodlawn section of the Bronx, built in 1910. I’ve had at least 3 electricians work on it, but I’ve used only Ken exclusively since I first contacted him in February 2019. Since then he’s done some simple things like replace old power outlets and light fixtures, but also some more complicated projects like installing a 220 power outlet for a stove in our basement. Most recently he installed an electric car charger in my garage, definitely a non-trivial project, especially given how old our house is. Ken is very professional, dependable, and extremely competent. His prices are reasonable and I trust his instincts, especially regarding safety which is critical for an electrician. He provides valuable suggestions at the start of a project which often save me money. He’s also a great guy and a joy to work with. I hope he never retires.

He was very good and I would definitely hire them again.

Ken was fantastic! He came to do an estimate in record time and was clear about everything he would take care of. I needed my whole house upgraded, repairs done, sockets upgraded, new sockets created, old ones removed, circuit breaker box repaired and upgraded, lighting installed, an old, over the stove microwave removed and a new over the stove exhaust fan installed. He also repaired my bathroom exhaust fan with a new motor. He worked for several days and was meticulous in his work. He was also careful about COVID issues and though he was vaccinated as I was, he still wore a mask the whole time he was here. Very respectful and responsive. A couple of unexpected challenges came up and he dealt with all of them perfectly. I couldn't have had a better experience. I felt that his price was reasonable and fair and would recommend him highly to friends and others. I would definitely call him back for any other issues. Thanks Ken!!!

Ken Is Amazing To Work With. I've Wanted My Tv Installed On My Wall For A While Now. I Decided To Look For An Electrician To Get The Job Done. After Careful Review, I Hired Ken Based On The Reviews &' I Must Agree With Everyone, He Is A Pleasure To Work With. Not Only Is He Knowledgeable But He Lets You Know What He Will Be Doing. He Was Prompt, Respectful &' Professional. He Did Exactly What I Asked For. If You Need An Electrician, Do Not Look For Anyone Else. He Is Exactly What You Need.

Ken has been our go-to electrician for a few years now. Consistently great - He comes in with solutions, lets you make your choices, tries to make sure you don’t waste money, and does great work that holds up well. Really nice guy,

Everything was great. He came on time got right to work. Everything was completed in about an hour. Thank you.

replace two light fixtures and three gfc outlets

Ken was absolutely wonderful during this entire job. He was always at the job exactly when he said he would be and always available to troubleshoot. We will be using Advanced Electric for all of our electrician needs in the future. Excellent company and very fairly priced!

What can I say about Ken that other reviewers didn’t already say. Ken knows his craft. He explains all of your options in detail so you can make a sound decision and his price is reasonable. I had 4 electrical outlets not working and needed an electrical outlet in my bathroom. All done in one day. Ken’s expertise saved me money. I highly recommend Ken. No need to look further for an electrician.

I have found a "go to" contractor in Advanced Electric. I've used the company on three different occasions (eg. outlet updates, ceiling fan/light installments, outside receptacle installment) without incident. The company gets an A in the 4P's: Price, Professionalism, Punctuality, and Perfection. Ken gave an assessment for our future electrical work needs (upgrading from fuse to circuit breaker) and I will definitely use his company to get the job done.

We are very happy with all the work performed at our home. Ken is respectful, courteous, pleasant, and highly skilled! We had an outdated circuit box which could not support our use of several appliances simultaneously. We could not iron and run the air conditioners at the same time. The power would go off - causing a trip to the basement to reset! A circuit box upgrade and dedicated outlets solved the problem. We also had electrical outlets installed on the front and back of the house. Our new outdoor lighting allows us to walk our dogs out back without using a flashlight! Ken did an excellent job of improving our quality of life in our home, and making things more convenient. We will definitely call him for other projects in the future. DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE THIS PROFESSIONAL FOR ALL YOUR ELECTRICAL NEEDS!

I had asked 3 electricians to take a look at the problem and offer their solutions. Two of them said they would need to run power lines from basement to the 2nd floor apt. This would involve pulling the lines up the outside of the house and drilling through the exterior wall. Ken was the only one who asked if there was an old fuse box in the area of the short. Sure enough there was a “live” box that had never been disconnected which was absorbing the short and preventing it from reaching the main circuit breakers. Ken was able to fix the problem in 15 minutes for less than half the price the others were considering. Excellent job - I will be calling him for future work.

Ken did a great job. He was professional, fast and upfront with his prices and with explaining what needed to be done. He solved most of my issues. For the ones he couldn't take care of, he offered good advice on alternatives. I would highly recommend Ken and will definitely use him again in the future.
