Jay did a great job installing some lights for me. He communicated about his availability and was on time. He was pleasant, efficient and conscientious. The quality of the work was great and the pricing was fair. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again

I got a confirmation of the appointment and the electrician was very punctual. He walked through the job (my list) and listened and gave me feedback. I got a quote on line within the week, as promised. I had a roofer who did the front and back of my house and new larger downspouts and this job cost much more than I anticipated. As a result, I cut back the scope of my electrical work and am putting it off. I did choose another electrician who came recommended from a family member. I will call Superior if this arrangement falls through in the spring.

Jay and his crew did excellent work. Jay arrived as scheduled to look at the project and provide an estimate. The price quoted for the work was very reasonable (I also got quotes from two other companies) and Jay did not try to push any other unneccesary work that would add to the cost (something one of the other companies tried to do). A date was set to start the work and they showed up as planned, and on time. The project took the 3+ days that had been anticipated. The crew went about their business in a very professional manner, were courteous, and made sure to clean up at the end of each day. The few questions I asked were answered well and provided good information. I was very impressed with the whole process and with the quality of the work. I also asked for quotes for some other work. I will hire Postive Energy Electric again and will recommend them to anyone.

They scheduled an appointment and arrived as scheduled. They spent some time analyzing the problem and left. I never heard from them again. After two weeks I called and left a message. They returned my call the same day and apologized for not having called me or informed me that the issue was more than they wished to engage and suggested that I contact another servicing company. I feel confidant that if the issue was not electronic in nature that the outcome would have been significantly different.
Description of Work: My generator failed to start, and I requested that they come and determine the issue.

They are too busy and not accepting new jobs until they are caught up. I appreciated the message back but Angie’s list needs to stop recommending them if they aren’t interested in new work.

Hi [Member Name Removed], I am so sorry for not returning your call. I'm guessing it was the week we were closed on vacation. I know there was a few messages that I missed returning on the machine. I do apologize and wish you the best.

I have been using Jay's services now for the past few years. He upgraded our Electrical Panel, and Installed a new Generator. Yesterday he came over to fix a faulty wiring. He knew within 10 minutes what the issue was and within 45 minutes the problem was fixed and the wiring was repaired. I highly recommend him.. He does excellent work, easy to work with, fair pricing. All around nice guy

Jay and his crew did a great job with all aspects of the project. He was very professional and helpful. All the outlets were installed including conduits for those on the cement walls. They also fixed all the exterior outlets. The total cost for the project was exactly what he had stated on the estimate sheet. I was very satisfied with the company's work.
Description of Work: Electrical outlets needed to be installed in the basement family room, garage and living room. There were also exterior outlets that were not working so those had to be troubleshooted.

Jay's firm performed very professional work for me. He and his staff were responsive to my questions and concerns throughout the bidding and selection process, his crew arrived punctually on the agreed-to date, and performed the work in a very competent manner. The work done was neat and clean, done rapidly without problems or delays, and provided a very professional installation, using quality components. The job was done for the agreed on quote - without add-ons, even though some of the parts that I had suggested could be used (to save cost on the quote) were not used, and new parts provided. At the end of the install, the crew hooked up my generator and stepped me through the hook up and transfer process. All-in-all, I would recommend Positive Energy Electric for your electrical service needs, and would call them myself for future work.

I had never worked with this company and called out them out of the blue in utter desperation. They squeezed me in within two hours. The woman who answered the phone was cordial and gracious, and the man who responded was a breath of fresh air in a hideously hot afternoon. He fixed things with a clear explanation and with a smile despite the wretchedly awful hea. YAY.

I called Positive Energy Electric at 9:00 AM on President' Day and Jay scheduled to come out at noon. He arrived right on schedule. It took him 5 minutes to verify, what he suspected; there are two 120 volt lines that come into the house to power all of the circuits, and combined they create the 240 volts for the dryer. One of the lines had no power. The outside lines were old and frail and the outside meters had rusted contacts (the house is almost 100 years old). He repaired the contact points enough to get power back for the time being, but it was a temporary fix as the wiring and meters desperately needed to be replaced. In addition, water from the outside wires ran into the circuit breaker boxes inside the house, rusting many of the contacts in one of the boxes. Jay took the time to show me all of the problems, as I followed him back and forth outside and into the basement, including recognizing 2 sub boxes known to have faulty breakers. He ordered the meters, wiring and new circuit breaker panel, shuffled his schedule to accommodate me, and arrived exactly as scheduled a couple days later. Jay and his crew were very efficient and professional and the wiring and the boxes are very clean. Jay was at the house about 2 hours to diagnose and patch the problem the first day. He and his crew were there from 8 am to 4 pm the second day. I could not be happier with the quality of the work and the price for the amount of work involved..
Description of Work: The problem was that most of the electrical current stopped working in the duplex house when someone turned on the dryer. It seemed like a very strange problem since the power that remained on was in random parts of the house. However it needed to be fixed fairly quickly since none of the bedrooms on one side had power, and even the boiler had no power, so there was no heat.
