Fast, clean and high level of attention to detail. We had the works (new service, new panel, remove knob and tube, new outlets and fixtures). They worked in every part of the house. Joe set expectations, provided expert guidance and delivered beyond expectations. Any issues we raised were met with a quick follow up and remediation. Joe is very responsive. From the start, he was the first electrician who returned a voicemail, and he remained accessible for the duration of the job. He and his team were very flexible throughout the job. They were able to accommodate our remote work schedules when needed and delays from other work by other contractors. Joe, Gary, Cody, Mike and crew are masters of their craft. read more

We have had Joe and his employees (Gary, Mike, Cody) out to our house for several projects (new circuit breaker, pot lights, flood light installation, etc). Each time they have done an amazing job. They are very attentive, will point out/fix prior electrical issues so that they are up to code, and they will keep their work area clean. My husband is actually an electrical engineer and was floored by the breaker they installed for us - it was pristine/perfectly labeled. Their prices are very fair for the level of work they provide. We have more plans to hang a new pendant light and install a circuit breaker in our garage and I know they'll be the first people we call! read more

We love Cobalt Electric! Last year we upgraded our electric panel and added some outlets to our basement for our freezer and spare fridge. We were thrilled with the results. We're selling our house and moving to KY and found that we had some exterior outlets that needed to be rewired and some other small work completed to satisfy the home inspection, we contacted Cobalt Electric again. Wow....same day quote and next day job completion. We were under a tight timeline before settlement and Cobalt Electric got it done in record time. The guys were friendly, courteous and did a great job cleaning up after they finished to. I highly recommend Cobalt Electric. read more

Our knights in shining armor on the hottest days of the year! We had an overnight late power outage- not only did Joe return our call before 7 the next day- but he was here by 8 troubleshooting. He took the time to show us and explain our issues in detail to be sure we would understand what needed to be done and why. Not only that but he called local supply stores on the spot and in front of us so we would best understand the charges and costs. His crew was here the next day to complete the repairs and get our power back on and functioning safer than before. His crew we kind, professional, knowledgeable and hard working and they took the time to determine all the breakers neatly labeled each ones location. We've already given their details to our friends and neighbors in the area. We can't be more thankful to have power again so quickly! read more

These guys were great, showed up on short notice and had my work done in 35 minutes. Great pricing and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

In a hurry briefly looked at the problem gave an excuse collected $125 then left. Cashed the check. Sorry not a good way to do business. Plenty of better electricians out there. read more

When it's an insurance claim - they are awesome! Quick, responsive and capable. Good luck getting them back if there is a problem with their work! read more

I am sure the owner will respond. He has an answer for EVERYTHING. BEWARE!!!! The owner is very very slick. He made me feel like we were friends for years and tried using that later. He kept telling me "I don't like many people, but I like you." I had met him for 15 minutes at the time. This owner tried to upsell and upsell and upsell. I am embarrassed to say that I didn't pick up on the scheme until after he began work. The scheme is very complex and probably fluid depending on the person he is in front of. I felt like he used psychological tactics, scare tactics and tried to go after pride. Continue reading for details. The owner came in our home and began pointing out what other contractors had done incorrectly. I fact-checked him after the fact and he was mostly wrong about what he was saying. I informed him that we are moving into the property upon completion and, in hindsight, I felt like he began using scare tactics on me to get me to spend more money by asking if my kids were staying in these bedrooms and there are no smoke detectors? He can fix that at $250 each. I felt like he sized me up and tried to get every penny out of me as possible. He commented on my wife's wedding ring and later told her that she should feel fortunate because we were able to renovate 3 bathroom and most people can only do 1. I feel like he was trying to make me feel like I had to prove to him how much money I have (pride tactics) by hiring him to do a ton of un-needed work. I will never call him again and I feel like that is his business model. Get as much out of someone as possible the first time and not worry about repeat business. (My guess is the owner will say that he doesn't get repeat business because he always gets the job done the first time. Fact is that things still break and people move. I am curious to see what he has to say.) He claims to be #1 on HomeAdvisor which makes sense. Every other referral I got for an electrician was too busy to come out. He showed up immediately. Good because we were in a pinch but I didn't add 1+1 to realize that there is a reason he is on HomeAdvisor and not booked solid from previous customers. Lesson learned on my part. Another scheme he pulled was to keep telling me that he would do things for free. Put in a bracket for a ceiling fan and small items he kept telling me he would do for free. I never asked for anything free. I wanted a price for it all. He gave me a price but that was only for some of the work, and the most expensive work. The rest of the work was either more money or "free" so he will come back and do it later. Another chance for him to upsell upsell upsell. Further, his prices to me were labor only. I had to buy the materials and he made me go to the electric supply house twice. (He may respond that he was doing me a favor by getting me a discount but I looked it up and the discount was $1 per unit. He needed me to pick up parts for him so he didn't have to do it.) Finally, the last item to mention with this company is that the owner insists to be paid for work he has not completed. He refused to complete the work we agreed upon because he wanted to be paid before the work was complete. He asked me for money upfront, which was to be expected, and then he asked me to "hide a check" somewhere for him so he could get it when he returns to actually do the work. Seriously. "Hide a check". Needless to say, that didn't happen. I think he will respond and say that I told him I would pay him when the service panel was complete (he said that to me during our argument), which is a lie. I told him I would pay him when the work was complete. Answer for everything and if doesn't have an answer, he put words in my mouth. Eventually I paid him for the work that was done and fired him. I need another electrician to complete the work that this and I feel like I need a shower after dealing with him. read more

Cobalt Electric is by far the best electric company/electricians I have experienced in decades! Not only are they on point, they are ON TIME, follow-through AND follow-up. This company is humble, knowledgeable, discreet, respectful, and also full of referrals--which we needed. Note: this business of "blue collar" work (electric, plumbing, masonry) is a dying art and one has to be extremely particular for both the quality and quantity of each and every job they choose for their humble abode. You can do no wrong and no better by choosing Cobalt Electric for all your 'wiring' needs-including but not limited to aesthetics and upgrades! Joe and his crew are the best Jersey has to offer!!!! read more

Joe and his guys inspected a home I was purchasing with electrical issues. I was under a deadline and they went out of their way to help and come that day. I got a quote, AND a report noting all code violations. Huge help and saved the day! read more

Cobalt Electric is FANTASTIC. Not only did they did a great job fixing many different projects around my home, but they were honest, on time, and extremely personable. They cleaned up after themselves, including vacuuming their work spaces. I am thrilled with the work they did in our new home. Anytime I called with a question before the service appointment (which was quite a few!) Joe always answered the phone immediately and gave me honest feedback about the work I wanted done. These guys were great to work with and I plan on using them for any electrical needs I have in the future. HIGHLY recommend without hesitation! read more

Joe and the guys were great! He accommodated our last minute request to have recessed lighting installed in our kitchen. He was able to come out with his team the next day! We were even able to have a new chandelier installed, which we requested once they arrived. We couldn't be happier with the quality of work and their flexibility! The crew was personable, prompt, and professional. The rate was also very competitive with other local companies. We would highly recommend Cobalt and will gladly use them for our future needs. read more

Very disappointed in the service. Our first conversation the owner boasted on how he is the #1 electrician around. However, did not show up to a scheduled appointment. I called to inquiry what happened and he clearly forgot about he appointment and never called back to apologize or reschedule. I would not recommend. read more

Awsome upfront business I had a problem with my pool electric, my pool company recommended cobalt and the same day I called the owner came out to look at my situation. He could have easily took my money but he suggested a simple fix that might be the issue with my electric company, it turns out it was and it didn't cost me anything. Joe could have charged me for coming out but instead he wanted an update after the electric company checked there wires regardless if it was fixed or not. I gave joe an update and told him everything was working properly again and his knowledge saved me lots of money. It's hard to find an honest business like this. Just awesome very knowledgeable about pools and electric which other electricians didn't want to touch. Two thumbs up read more
