Their fees are extremely high and NOT fix the problem at the 1st visit. They charged over $1000 for a problem of flickering lights in my condo. The electrician did not fix the problem at the 1st visit. He came back to fix it. They charged both visits ($330 each). PLUS $300 for project manager fee! Below are their charges: "First visit June 1st: Service call for flickering lights in unit - there was a half hour of travel time to the job, 2.5 hrs onsite opening light switches/outlets/light fixtures trying to diagnose the problem.

Elmecco does a good job. They're expert electricians who work generally efficiently and charge a fair price. They can be hard to get on the phone and arrange things with, but after that initial hurdle the work goes well.
Description of Work: I have had Elmecco do work on various houses over many years. In the latest job they sorted out some external wiring, refurbished a half dozen outlets, and installed a new fixture and switch in a tricky location. They have also done much more sophisticated jobs for me in the past, including new panel installation and rewiring a whole house away from knob-and-tube.

Description of Work: We removed a wall and needed an outlet moved and a switch. Of course it was a little more complicated than my husband and I thought, but they handled it like pros. The electrician was on time, but had to come back a couple times to finish. He was happy to work without anyone home- which is great for us. Was more expensive than we thought, but we needed it done quickly and they're are small neighborhood outfit with a flexible schedule

They have been very good. They have been very knowledgeable, very helpful, very positive and very responsive. We've used them on 3 occasions in the last 12-18 months for various relatively complicated things. They have fixed things that other contractors screwed up. They worked with some very old wiring at another property and they were very knowledgeable about that. Their prices are reasonable.
Description of Work: We used Elmecco for electrical work.

I liked them because they were local and I think I got them off the list actually. They were able to come over pretty quickly and overall it was a good experience. The price was more than I wanted to pay, but was about what I thought it would be. I think that they were on time. I will use them again and as a matter of fact I am thinking of calling them.
Description of Work: I use Elmecco Inc. for electrical work. The last time I used them was 1.5 months ago.

Lee was able to schedule the estimate soon after I called. When I decided to use Elmecco, we did a detailed walk-through of my old, 1902 home. He gave good advice and scheduled the work to start about a week later. The pair he sent out were friendly, experienced, and responsive. This job got bigger as we got deeper into the possibilities and we asked for more work than originally planned. That was not a problem for Elmecco. About half-way into the job, we realized we needed to hire someone to install a cabinet and the OTR microwave we purchased - we ran out of time and energy to do it ourselves. Lee referred us to a local construction company, a great referral - we got what we wanted. I would definitely recommend Elmecco. They have very high integrity and responsiveness as well as they do a great job.
Description of Work: This was a 98% complete rewire of an older, 2-story home, we had lots of knob and tube wiring, and very inadequate number of outlets and no bath or kitchen ventilation. We changed out most fixtures and added new lighting in dark areas and added outlets to a workshop/shed, as well as ventilation to bath and kitchen and outdoor outlets.

as above - I have used them several times and recommend them without reservation.
Description of Work: El Mecco completed a re-wire on our house including moving and installing a new electrical panel several years ago and did an excellent job. I've called them back several times for smaller jobs and they have always been excellent. The last time was a repair on a previous job, which they corrected immediately and did not charge for.

They were very prompt. The electrician they sent out was very knowledgeable. Something I thought would cost a lot to repair was fixed for cheap in about an hour. He gave me great tips and suggestions.
Description of Work: They came out and did some minor electrical work for me.

Everything was done satisfactorily. In one case, the electricians found a better solution to one problem than I had proposed. After the first day's work (a Friday), I asked that an exterior outlet cover be replaced with a different type. The electrician said he'd do it the next time (Monday). I forgot to mention it again and after they left on Monday, I kind of expected that this had been overlooked, but on checking, saw that it had indeed been changed as I had requested.
Description of Work: I hired Elmecco is repair a large number of small but annoying electrical problems including the replacement of wall sockets, the installation of several fixtures, and the re-routing of one switch.

Wow! Great service! I called on Tuesday, Lee came out on Wednesday, exactly on time and had the problem diagnosed and repaired in less than an hour for the quoted rate of $110 for the 1st 1/2 hour. It was a simple corroded and loose connection in one of the switch boxes. He cleaned it up, re hooked the connection and everything was back in working order, all the while explaining the situation quite clearly.
Description of Work: We had several light switch panels that suddenly stopped working and needed fixing.
