The work was okay - it wasn?t exceptional or anything. He was a little expensive but I needed somebody quick. He was able to come over and get the job done. I would use him in the future, if necessary.
Description of Work: We had replaced our furnace, and the new furnace had to be wired with heavier gauge wire. We used Joe Gioffre Electric Co to do that for us.

On a Monday afternoon, I called the Joe Gioffre Electric Co. and left a voicemail concerning a circuit breaker problem for my furnace and for a sump pump and a problem with a light over the kitchen sink that kept flickering and going out. He returned my call relatively quickly and set up an appointment for the following day. He did give me suggestions as to what to do in the meantime, suggestions that worked very well. He called the next morning and rescheduled his time from late afternoon to the early morning which was greatly appreciated. He came to the house, analyzed the problem, made sure the furnace and the sump pump were on separate circuits and replaced the breakers. Things are working well now. We have constant heat without the thermostat and furnace circuit breaker tripping and no more water is left on the basement floor for the sump pump has electicity going to it and is working fine. As far as the light above the sink is concerned, a change in the bulb wattage fixed that problem just as he suggested. I was pleased with Joe's responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism. As far as price is concerned, I have nothing to compare it to. By researching Angie's List for an electrician, I immediately called the Joe Geoffre Electric Co for service based on the comments and ratings listed. I will use the Joe Gioffree Electric Co again for other electrical problems I may have in the future.

Joe was prompt, professional and did not waste time on the job. We had Joe do some electrical work a few weeks before and had informed him that we would be having a home inspection soon. He pointed out a few things we may need to have corrected and said if we chose to use his services again we would not be charged a second service charge. We hired him back for this second visit. We were very happy with the service provided! One note: We have a very friendly, overly rowdy dog and Joe took it all in stride.
Description of Work: We contacted this company to make some electrical corrections as detailed in a recent home inspection report. Joe Gioffre installed 2 kitchen counter GFCI's and corrected the reverse polarity on one of our electrical outlets.

Called Joe regarding a non-functioning outlet. After a very brief description of the problem over the phone and some diagnostic questions, Joe suggested I turn on the switch and see if the outlet started working. Lo and behold it worked! (We haven't used the wall switch in that room for over 10 years, so had forgotten about it.) Joe is a BRILLIANT MAN; you can't beat common sense, especially if it's free.

I called right at 7:30 when the office opened. Joe answered and was very friendly and easy to deal with. He agreed to send someone that afternoon Dennis called about a half hour before arriving and actually came a little before noon. He was very efficient and friendly. He quickly replaced my two malfunctioning smoke detectors after checking to be sure the wiring wasn't the problem, checked out my others at my request, and gave me an estimate for replacing the remaining 3. It is very difficult to replace the batteries in my current detectors. The ones Dennis installed are much easier to get to and don't have to be taken down to replace the batteries. So I was interested in possibly replacing the remaining detectors even though they currently were functioning OK.
Description of Work: Replaced two smoke detectors and checked others.

Spoke with Joe on a Wednesday. He sent Dennis out the following morning. Arrived exactly when they said they would. Quality was very good. The price they charge is very fair. Dennis is very professional. Only other comment is that if you have almond-colored electrical components, (plugs, covers, etc.), be sure to indicate that up front.

Great. The morning after I called, an electrician was out to give me an estimate. He was back out the next week when he said he would be, did an excellent job, and was very professional.
Description of Work: We need a grounded outlet in the office. Due to a finished basement ceiling, the electrician had to run a conduit outside from the box to the office, and install a new outlet.

The response was quick. The workmen were professional, finished the job quickly and neatly. They also explained why the new wiring was safe and done "the right way".
Description of Work: Our stove had stopped working so we had an appliance repairman out to look at it. He found that when the stove had been installed by someone for the previous owner, they had directly connected copper wire from the stove to aluminum wire coming up from the basement. Over time, the wires had corroded and then started arcing! We were fortunate that the house didn't burn down! He recommended that we have an electrician rewire it correctly. I called Joe Gioffre on a Tuesday afternoon and he was going to have someone in the area the next day. Jeff and Randy arrived around 9:45am. They inspected the wire from the kitchen to the circuit breaker box. They installed an outlet on the floor and a "pig tail" on the stove. They showed me the lid of the junction box where the arcing had occurred and it was completely black on the inside.

When we called on a Friday a real person answered the phone, asked what we needed and immediately made an appointment for us on the following Tuesday for "mid-morning". He also asked if we had light bulbs for the fixture since many people don't think to buy them, especially if they are not standard bulbs. The electrician called us an hour before he arrived. He arrived about 11 a.m. He installed the new fixture without difficulty and recommended that we not save the old fixture since it showed evidence of some damage. Start to finish it took about 45 minutes. He was very careful not to track snow and ice into the house, and suggested we cover the computer and desk with a sheet or drop cloth so nothing fell into the keyboard, and for easy clean up.
Description of Work: Installed new ceiling light fixture in home office. We were concerned because the old fixture caused the circuit to break when a light bulb burned out.

He did a good job - neat and tidy - his final plan to move the wiring eliminated potential extensive damage to ceiling and walls and he came up with what I thought was a fair price. He explained what he was going to do, explained what he did and had helpful suggestions for me on some other wiring issues. GREAT JOB!
Description of Work: Electrician determined best way to reroute wiring for second floor to accommodate a large window being installed on the first floor. He did the job and I was able to move forward with the window. He will be coming for more work now that the window is installed.

The electrician called when he was 10 min away, which was helpful. He was very polite and professional and listened attentively as I described what I needed done. After determining where the electrical feed entered the house, he disconnected the feed and plugged the external hole. He was especially concerned with not tracking mud / dirt throughout my house - very considerate! He was done in 45 min and I got the 10% Angie's List discount!
Description of Work: The previous owners of my house had run an underground feed to an external pole/bug zapper in the back yard. I needed the feed disconnected so the landscaper could remove the pole.

It went fine. They were pretty late and when I called Joe he admitted he had lost my work order and said that he would have someone out there in under 30 minutes, and they were. I liked the electrician. He was a little flabbergasted as to what the problem was, but found it, showed me what was going on, which was helpful, and then fixed it! I was a little surprised it was almost $200 to essentially put in a new outlet, but they did run new wire from the outlet to the circuit box, giving the refrigerator a dedicated circuit. It was well worth the $190. I was very relieved and satisfied.
Description of Work: We did not know what exactly was the problem, but when our metal refrigerator door touched our metal electric range and sparks flew and the house went black, we knew it was a big problem. It was Labor Day and no one could come out, but I called Joe and he made some suggestions, which were to plug the refrigerator somewhere else! I made an appointment for them to come out a few days later.

Mr. Gioffre installed the circuit, cleaned up the debris from drilling and tested the microwave to ensure everything was working. He is a licensed electrician.
Description of Work: We needed a new circuit installed for an over-the-stove microwave. We had space on our electrical panel for a new breaker. The task entailed mounting a box inside a cabinet over the microwave and dropping a line to the crawl space and then to the breaker panel. The breaker was a now rare Push-Matic type but he had several with him. The installation went smoothly.
