Ed installed under-cabinet lighting in our kitchen. Since we had a tiled back-splash, he had to snake the electric line behind the wall from the electric box to underneath the cabinet. We are pleased with the work.

Quickly solved an electrical problem I was having. The electrician was very pleasant to work with. He clearly knew what he was doing and solved our issue quickly. We liked his services that we used him again to replace an electric panel at another property, which he completed with no issue for a fair price.
Description of Work: Initially needed to solve a short circuit issue.

Ed (the owner of Opal Electric) performed all of the work himself exactly to our specifications. He was always on time, easy to work with and great with communications. The entire experience was a pleasure - great work AND customer service! We plan to call him again for additional electrical work we need done.
Description of Work: We wanted recessed lighting installed in our den and a number of small issues addressed - replace a few plugs, light fixture in laundry room.

Ed was very personable and professional both when he came to provide an estimate, and when he actually installed the fan, vent, and light on the day of the actual work. The install looks and operates just as we wanted, and the work area was clean and tidy after he was finished. A job well done!
Description of Work: Installed a bathroom fan - wiring as well as roof venting - and replaced an existing ceiling light with a new one.

Great. He arrived a little earlier than the appointed time, went right to it and fixed the problem, which was minor. I liked the fact that he put on shoe covers when he came inside; all contractors should do this simple thing. I think it puts the homeowner somewhat at ease and is a sign of respect for your home. Ed was personable and friendly, and I would definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: He repaired faulty wiring inside a ceiling fan and tested the circuit.

Ed is a great guy. He shows up when he says he will and does an excellent job. We were 100 percent satisfied with his work both times we used his services. He works quickly and professionally, and he cleans up the job site when he's done. He is honest and won't do any work you don't need. He is absolutely our go-to guy for any and all future electric service work. I also will give his information to anyone who might ask if I know a good electrician. I'm happy to say, yes I do!
Description of Work: Ed installed an overhead light fixture in my kitchen. We used him previously to fix and upgrade several electrical outlets in our kitchen and family room that were not working correctly.

We stumbled upon Ed and Chris by chance after Hurricane Sandy and we are so happy we did! We were new to the area and they were the first electricians to contact us back even though they were swamped and their cost to install a generator was fair and not bid up like some other estimates we received. Installing the generator took a while due to other vendors (like Generac and PSE&G) being busy but they kept us informed every step of the way and even made calls on our behalf repeatedly to PSE&G when PSE&G kept messing up our account. Since then, we have used them to install top hat lights, move outlets, wire tvs, fix our outdoor landscape lighting and now install floodlights. I wish they did more than electrical work because I would hire them for anything and everything. They are professional, honest, trustworthy and excellent at what they do. When they are done, their work area is completely cleaned up and there are no traces they were there at all except you now have whatever it is you hired them to do. They also have a list of other professionals they recommend (which was SO helpful for us since we were new to the area) and everyone we've used off that list has been just as great as they are.

Ed is by far one of the best service providers I have worked with. Ed answers the phone when you call, or he returns your call in a reasonable timeframe. He makes appointments and shows up on time. He is polite, friendly, personable, knowledgeable. I am a demanding customer - but with Ed it is easy because he listens, we talked and he helped me understand what needed to be done. He ordered the devices for me - and special ordered because I wanted a particular brand. I paid Ed for the devices, and it was the same price I would have paid if I purchased them myself. Ed came in the house with a box full of new devices. He put coverups on his shoes!!! He was very careful of my newly painted walls. He took down the old units and put up the new units with ease - up and down the stairs. We talked a little while he worked, and I realized I was dealing with a really nice man! When the job was finished, Ed took all the old devices and the empty boxes so he could discard of it all. He's a class act. I will definitely call upon him again. And you should too!!
Description of Work: Replaced 7 smoke detectors - 1 in the basement, 1 on the main level, 5 on the upstairs level
