Description of Work: Sean Ryan and his team member James, were phenomenal. I was in the middle of purchasing a home, when my home inspector recommended I have a separate electric inspection given that the house was ~100 years old and had knob and tube wiring. I got SJ Ryan's name off Angie's List and called to schedule a time-sensitive inspection; the secretary at SJ Ryan was able to fit me in the next morning for the electrical inspection of the knob and tube wiring! James walked (and talked) me through all of his findings and their implications; being a first time home buyer, his explanations and expertise was greatly appreciated. Sean Ryan provided me with an estimate and called to explain the findings and recommendations, and answer any questions I had. If this home purchase goes through, I will without a doubt be calling SJ Ryan Electric Inc. in the future!

It turned out great. I have absolutely no complaints about them. It went very well. The work was done quickly and the electrician that came out was very professional. He assessed what was needed to be done and did it quickly.
Description of Work: I used the big deal that I purchased from SJ Ryan Electric Inc. a week or two ago for wrapping some pipes with electrical heating elements so that they would not freeze during the winter and for putting in two wall switches for me.

Brad showed up promptly at 8am and was ready to go. He was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He was able to complete each of the items listed within the 1-hour time frame. Additionally, Brad was able to answer additional questions that i had regarding other electrical needs I may have in the very near future. I am incredibly pleased with the workmanship and would definitely hire SJ Ryan Electric again. In fact, I'm going to schedule them again for some additional recess lighting that is needed.
Description of Work: Hi - I purchased an Angie's List deal for 1 hour of electrical service, which included several items. On my list of items, I wanted to have the following completed: - 1) Check and repair celing fan light, 2) repair 2 hallway lights - that had broken bulbs and 3) fix foyer light and check electricity panel.

Sean contacted me after I signed up for the Deal, and we agreed on a date. Unfortunately, I had another business situation which cropped up just when Ryan showed up, and before I could contact them. They were perfectly nice about it, and we rescheduled it, and Brad came out. A dimmer light knob for a hanging lamp had broken off, so the whole box had to be changed out. I had the second box replaced so the knobs would match. An outdoor wrought iron motion detector had stopped working, and I purchased a new one. It did not attach to the wall in the same way, but after some trial and error, Brad was eventually able to get it to fit. Since the old motion detector still worked as a light, it was moved to replace a third light. The work was very straight forward, and done very professionally. If I need any more electrical work done I will use SJ Ryan. A side note is that they pro-rate by the 1/2 hour after the first hour.
Description of Work: I hired SJ Ryan as a Big Deal on Angie's for 1 hr of electrical work. Brad changed out some boxes on a dimmer light, of which one of the knobs broke off, replaced an outside motion detector that had stopped working, and moved to old one to a different place.

the electrician arrived on time and I told my 3 problems that needed to be fixed. He immediately diagnosed the problem and explained to me what need to be done. The young man was very knowledgeable and gave me good ideas on all my questions. My jobs were done quickly and efficiently within an hour. I finally found a good electrician and will recommend SJ Ryan to others.

Everything went very well from the scheduling to the service call. The tech was professional and worked quickly. He provided helpful information on my lighting options when I expressed that I wanted to replace one of the fixtures. He also clarified the purpose of a mystery wire I had hanging from and outlet ( it was actually just wired to come out next to the outlet but was for a garage door opener). It was a great service call at a great price. Will use this provider for future electrical needs.
Description of Work: Checked garage switch, which I thought had gone bad. Instead bulbs on both switches were blown. One bulb was a fluorescent bulb and I asked that he switch it to a standard fixture. This was an Angie's list big deal.

This was a "Big Deal" order. I was very pleased with SJ Ryan Electric. Brad arrived on time and went right to work. I had moved my washer and dryer from upstairs laundry room to main floor laundry room. The dryer had a 4 prong cord that needed to be changed to a 3 prong in order to work with the outlet. Brad discovered that the outlet was a range outlet instead of a 3 prong dryer outlet and my dryer cord was 4 prong. He changed the dryer cord to 3 prong, replaced the outlet and reattached the wiring for the downstairs laundry room that had been wired for upstairs. I would not hesitate to recommend SJ Ryan Electric and if needed in the future will definitely call them again.

I bought the GFI that needed to be installed. The guy came out to put it in, but he let me know my hour was almost up. He said for some reason there wasn’t any electricity coming through so he would have to come back and charge for an additional hour at $40.00. He then came back and brought someone else with him. When they came, they looked at the GFI for about 5 minutes and then said it was fixed. They then gave me a bill for $80.00 because they both came out. I feel as if this was a scam. They seem to take advantage of older people. I want to protect others against this company. They also put the wrong time on their bill. They said they were here at 1:30 and finished at 2:30 on the bill but that's not true either. They started at 2 and finished a short while after

Response from SJ Ryan Electric Inc
[member name removed], I thank you for your review, as I take each review - good or bad very seriously. Our goal is to make sure each customer has a positive experience. I am very surprised by the low grade for our work, and would like the opportunity to explain the process and bill to you. Our technician came out for the diagnosis of a bad GFCI receptacle. Once the technician was there, it was determined there was an issue beyond the GFCI. He did make you aware that the alotted time frame was about to expire and offered to keep looking for the issue or to come back with another technician at a later date to assist and keep your cost down. You agreed to have them come back, which they did and quickly found the problem and corrected it. Our hourly rate is $80 for all customers. I take responsibility if that information was misinterpreted or misconstrude. If there is anything I can do to ease your mind that we never take advantage of our customers and value each one of them the same please let me know.

We were impressed with the company all around. We left a message on their voice mail on a Sunday, assuming they would pick it up the following day. Our call was returned within a couple hours and they had a man out here the following morning. He was polite, professional, and quickly diagnosed the real problem. He cleaned up everything very nicely before leaving. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: We had a lamppost on our wooden fence next to our gate that would not work. We had one person doing the work. He determined that the problem was that the underground wiring leading to the fence was old and corroded (it was probably close to 40 years old) He had to dig up part of our yard in order to do the work - not easy work. He replaced the wiring and the lamp has worked perfectly since.

Sean Ryan was very prompt in responding to all calls and emails. He was able to schedule the estimate and then the work only a few days after the initial contact through Angie's List. The work was performed by James who was assisted by Justin. James was very knowledgeable. Both men worked continuously and checked numerous times that we were satisfied with what was done. After the work was completed and before the bill arrived, Sean sent an email to check that we were satisfied. The final invoice was for less than the estimate and included the 5% Angie's List discount. We have no complaints and would gladly recommend this company to anyone looking for an electrician.

Great job from start to finish! When Sean came out to our house to estimate the job, he was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. He gave a very fair estimate with breakdowns for additional jobs that we will have done in the future. The two techs he sent out were equally good- very considerate and knew what they were doing. I was especially appreciative of how careful they were not to cut any more drywall than was absolutely necessary for the job. I'll definitely use them in the future.

Sean was extremely punctional and professional in coming over to give us an estimate. He made several very good suggestions on planning out exactly what we wanted done. He emailed his estimate over the weekend, and we scheduled the job. His crew was right on time, very pleasant, professional, and responsive to a few minor adjustments as the installation progressed. We are very happy with work and the way they did it. We will call him again if we have any more electrical work to be done.

Friendly, knowledgable, timely, and professional. They arrived on time and answered all of our questions and suggested some additional ideas that we plan on acting on. It wasn't in the manner of trying to up sell us but give us quality information, they billed us later on and all worked out great.
Description of Work: They came to repair outdoor nd indoor receptacles that no longer worked. They showed us why and how to easily fix it ourself next time. They also took their time and walked around the house with us to give us on the spot estimates for other electrical work (upgrades) we had been looking to do. They made some great suggestions and were very knowledgable.
