Amazing service, on time, responsive, extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Went through HomeAdvisor. $150 for the service call....EXPENSIVE for a service call, to replace a door bell transformer another $25, sent 2 men for a 12 minute job. Also before any work was started, went on and on about board not to code and this and that and I should get it fixed and repair this all trying to get me to do more services when I wanted was my front doorbell fixed. Kept telling things where not to code, now should I worry that I'll get a surprise inspection by a city or state inspector? I would never hire again and never refer any friends. read more

Here are the facts: I was looking for an electrician to verify that we have no active knob and tube wiring in our house so that we could qualify for a RISE program offering us reduced price insulation on our home. He charged us $250 for this assessment. Peter ad an assistant came by looked at our basement and pointed to knob and tube wiring that had already been confirmed by our inspector not to be active. He also took down two light fixtures and pointed to what he said was knob and tube wiring and that was the extent of his assessment. He concluded we likely had active wiring throughout the house and verbally quoted me tens of thousands of dollars to rewire the whole house. I spent the next week trying to get the knob and tube assessment in writing (which is what he was hired to do). He did provide an assessment on the service box (which he was never asked to evaluate as it's not been concerning us). Every conversation was obfuscation. He asked a few times if we had contacted our homeowners insurance about the service box. He also looked at our service box and determined that we had water damage and that we should file a homeowners claim to have him replace our service box ("it's a win win"- I get a new service box and he gets the business). My husband and I started to suspect something was amiss and asked a friend who is retired and had been licensed in MA to take a look. He said there was no water damage in the service box and that there was likely not active knob and tube wiring in the house. We asked Peter to refund our $250 as he had never done the work he was hired for. He hemmed and hawed and finally agreed but 45 days later we still don't have a check. We had a currently licensed electrician come and verify (in writing) that we don't have any active knob and tube wiring. Those are the facts. read more

He only did half the job and never came back to finish. Had to call another electrician to finish his job. Now I have disconnected wiring out side my house that he never came back to connect. I would never ever recommend this company read more

I called on a Sunday to schedule for today, he showed up on time and got the job done in an hour. I have a very old house with a light fixture 12' up in a hallway, and replaced it with a motion sensor light (his recommendation) so neither of my tenants will have to worry about walking into a dark hallway. read more

Went through home advisor to have an exhaust fan duct hooked up to the outside vent, I figured it would be a quick and easy job. After $400 for the labor and close to $200 for a new exhaust fan; I would not recommend this company at all. Before the work was even started Peter from A & I kept trying to upsell additional work. "This fuse panel doesn't look up to code", "those smoke/co detectors doesn't detect carbon monoxide" which it clearly does. The way he was speaking was as if he was trying to scare you into approving more work than necessary. I guess the building inspector who checked out our home before we purchased it didn't have a clue to what he was doing. The install took close to five hours and its still not completed. The worker from A & I cut the square into the ceiling so big the mounting bracket for the new fan barely mounted up. After it was finally mounted a 3" gap was left between the fan and the ceiling. The worker kept saying he'll lay in some plaster to make it "nice" again. After he finished his plaster job it did not look "nice". After I say it doesn't look finished he assured me he will come back in a week and finish everything. Now that a full week has passed and no call from A & I to re-finish my bathroom ceiling they destroyed, I will never recommend this company to anyone ever. These guys are a bunch of dishonest disrespectful hacks. I guess they really needed the $400 more than I did. read more

I found A&I thru HomeAdvisor and had them do an exterior lighting install at my home last year. Our agreement was that everything would be done to plan which was designed by a landscape architect and supplied to Pete for quote. A&I didn't complete the project on time and Pete was rarely if ever on the job although he committed to be there when I hired him. Shortly after completion we started to see the wires connecting the lights appear on the surface of the ground. Wires were to be buried a min of 6 inches to avoid this from happening, clearly it wasn't done. Soon after many of the light bulbs started to go out but we chalked that up to the fact that the lights weren't led. Upon further investigation I have found that A&I didn't follow the landscape plan at all. The plan called for 4 wires to be run from the transformer and they only ran three, overloading one of the circuits and resulting in many of the light failures. Additionally, they used black wire nuts, which are designed to be used in a dry indoor installation, underground and untapped or covered in any way along side the proper blue wire nuts. In many instances the wire nuts were not properly applied and as such had failed to continue to connect the wires. This is the first time I have ever written a negative review but it is important that consumers know what to expect when hiring A&I. Ps. The constant attempt at upsell that I am seeing from other reviews seems to be a trend with this company. read more

A&I Electric was sent by another company to repair some damage to our footlights they had done while painting the house. While here A&I Electric asked if there was anything else that I might need repaired/upgraded. After all it would be less expensive since he was here just to add on another task. I needed a flood light repaired and asked for a quote. The electrician set off to buy a new flood light fixture. He called from the warehouse to let me know the quote would be higher and I agreed. After the work was done I looked over the bill and noticed the math was $20.00 off in his favor. I called to notify him that his math was incorrect and could he mail a check for the $20.00 as soon as it was convenient. He asked to see the bill - (yes, HIS bill). I copied it and sent it off. I did this 3 more times before I gave up. I realize $20.00 is not a lot of money BUT it is very poor business practice - honest mistake or not, not to rectify the error. In an aside, the floodlight installation was no less expensive but that is totally on me for believing it would be. read more
