I have been one of the volunteer caretakers of the Mt. Washington Cemetery for the past 37 years. We have a beautiful fountain in the cemetery, but it stopped running. Joe Buring of Curry Electric came out to the cemetery yesterday and, with exceptional attention to detail, he installed a new GFCI outlet, repaired other parts of our electrical system, and left with the fountain running like new. He was so personable and a perfectionist at his job. We were completely satisfied with his work. This is the third time I have used Curry Electric. Just last week we needed a few electrical tasks done in our home. The scheduling process was a breeze and Larry Smith arrived within a day of our call. He came out on a sweltering day. He had to turn off the electricity to the part of the basement where he was working and the poor guy was drenched in sweat, but was one of the nicest, most efficient people I have ever met. Larry did a beautiful job repairing everything and the bill was so reasonable. We could not be more pleased and we will call on them for any electrical needs. I recommend Curry Electric unconditionally! read more

Really concerned about a possible wiring issue in the home. They received all of my questions, took a took at photos, and got right back to me. Very kind people and very willing to help me understand the wiring and care needed for my situation. read more

I should have known that this service wasn't going to go well when the owner told me a dumb blonde joke over the phone. Hilarious. Needed a broken line repaired between lights in outdoor landscaping. Was told that someone would be out to assess the issue, and we could either repair it that day, if their time allowed, or ask them to come back another day while we decided. Repair man came, spent about 30 - 45 minutes assessing the problem, which, we already knew what it was, then spent another hour writing up our bill. We were charged $350 for a serviceman to tell us about a problem we already knew we had, and then his time (an HOUR!) to write the bill. We were furious, called the owner, and he took $70 off because we were charged twice for his travel. This is still $280 for almost zero work being performed. On top of that, the serviceman "re-buried" the outdoor lines by covering them with a rock, not digging them back in to the dirt. Oh, and left his cigarette butt laying in the yard next to the rock (maybe so he could find his place again later?) After the call between the owner and my husband, never heard from the owner again about coming back to fix the actual problem. What a waste of money. I've read other reviews of being overcharged and wish I had listened to them. read more

Curry Electric took 6 hours to replace 5 outlets less than a year ago ($534.34) and today's issue was because they installed a bum GFCI outlet which shorted out causing all the outlet replacements to short out also. When contacted, their response was rude and accusatory, along with stating they would charge me again for any service call or repairs. I will never use or refer anyone to Curry Electric again, and I will ALWAYS choose Mister Sparky (gotta love the name) for any future electrical work! Wish I had called Mister Sparky first instead of Curry Electric! read more

Mike came out today to help me with a bunch of projects - fixture replacement, vent fan replacement, fixture repair. He was really helpful and completed things quickly and for a fair price. I was using some vintage fixtures and he was able to incorporate with some new pieces to get what I wanted. Curry has also previously done work for me and friends. Thanks for your help. It is nice to have everything fixed! read more

In our old Hyde Park home, finding an electrician was a must. Occasionally, we find mysterious and dangerous wiring configurations that exceed our ability and training. Curry Electric has always done a great job, in a reasonable time period and for a decent price. Mike especially shows a great understanding of old electrical standards and practices and how to fix (or work around) them. We've had them install and fix outlets, repair our garage electrical, remove old gas lines and install ceiling fan electrical boxes. They have been careful with our plaster and clean up nicely afterwards. The company offers these awful early morning appointments that I hate, but I know some of you out there are morning people and will appreciate them. read more

The wire to the dishwasher was about 6 inches to a foot shorter than needed when we were replacing our dishwasher. I called Curry and they came the next day. $185 to extend the wire about a foot. $25 for tool rental. What tool does an electrician need to rent to install 1 junction box and extend one wire a foot? I have no idea. I was charged for a full hour of labor ($80/hr) and a service call ($65) although I can't imagine a professional electrician needing an hour to install one junction box and extend one wire a foot. Wow. The only reasonable part of the bill was $15 for other materials. read more

After reading through the other reviews - it seems as if I've been dealing with another company. Curry has been nothing but professional in the multiple times we've had them out to perform electrical work on our home. One of those times was after we first bought our home - in which they reworked our existing aluminum wiring with a proprietary cop-alum connection. (A method of cold-welding copper wire to the existing aluminum at every switch, outlet and fixture. The machine is rented as the inventor still holds all licensing/patent rights.) Each time the team was courteous, professional and timely. Would recommend Curry Electric for any job requiring a thorough understanding of circuits, historical context and basic to advanced home electrical needs. read more

I've had Curry Electric over to my house a few times now (once for a basement fluorescent lighting issue, a couple of times for a short in my garage electrical), and I've been very pleased with the work they've done. Each time they've come over, they've been very professional and efficient in resolving my issues and fixing things. One of their electricians, Chuck, has been a genuine pleasure to observe in action - extremely nice, friendly guy. I'm happy to have found Curry Electric and will continue to use them in the future. read more

We hired Curry Electric to install can lighting in two different levels in our house. They finished the job in one day, but what impressed us the most was the level of professionalism, workmanship, and respect for our property from the electricians. They left the house the same condition it was when they arrived even though they had to cut holes in drywall, deal with attic insulation, etc. Not only that, they discussed changes with us rather than proceeding without and provided unique solutions for problems caused by an old house. We would definitely recommend them for any work needed. read more

My wife and I recently purchased a condo that was a big fixer upper project. I brought in Curry Electric after getting a couple bids from other contractors. It was a big job requiring a new Electric panel and the Cop-Alum process that involves among other things replacing every switch plug and plate in the home. When Justin came out to bid the Job he gave me the most honest and clear estimate out of all the bids and the price was competitive as well. Instead of the usual we are booked a month in advance they responded to my pleading for an ASAP start date. My two electricians Billy and Larry showed up a couple days later and knocked the job out in a timely manner. They were polite and pleasant in my home, went out of their way to help and installed every light fixture in the entire home for free. Good job lads ! read more

I had two different projects we needed completed. First was installing recessed ceiling lights, grounding most of the outlets and adding a ceiling fan and light in a bathroom in a home built in 1954 for my son. My MIL needed a ceiling fan with a light in her living room. Ceiling is vaulted. I had called 3 different companies to get quotes as I usually do. Curry's estimates were in the middle and I felt they were the way to go. They didn't disappoint. Everything from Justin quoting the jobs to the guys who showed up and did the work, everything top notch. My MIL was shocked at how quickly the job was done and not a mark on her ceiling. Same at my son's home. I have used them in my own home also. Ran a 220 line to the garage to charge a car, not an easy job but done quickly and without a hitch. Justin even found an inexpensive solution to a lighting issue we had in our family room. I don't bother calling other companies for quotes for electrical work now. read more

Quite simply, one of the worst, most exasperating home contract service experiences I have *ever* endured. Unreliable. Eight Phone calls not returned. My elderly Mother was scheduled to return to her residence from a rehab facility. I explained that she needed an outlet operated by a wall switch, in order that she did not have to operate the difficult lamp switch. Was told that it would be high priority, and this rather minimal job would be scheduled immediately, and the work would be completed well before her return. Was not contacted subsequent to this guarantee. Numerous phone calls made, each with a voice message, to verify if and when task would be undertaken. Zero response. A minimal problem with an easy fix, put my family in a *real* bind. My recommendation... a better experience if you find a more reliable electric contractor. read more

Hired Curry Electric to install a couple of light fixtures. I purchased the light fixtures. After Mike from Curry Electric came out, the next day I realized one of the light fixtures was not working. I called Mike back to fix the problem. He quickly concluded the fixture was bad without taking the fixture apart. He said I needed to go buy a new fixture and he would come back. He tried to give me an invoice for coming to look at the fixture even though he didn't take it apart for a deeper look. We argued that it would be difficult to determine the problem without taking it apart. He insisted the figure had to be bad and I needed to pay him for coming out again. It was a disturbing engagement with Mike. He said I needed to pay him coming back out and just ooking at the fixture (without taking it apart). Then I would need to buy a new fixture and then pay him again (a third time). At this point, I knew I would never do business again with Mike and Curry Electric. A couple of weeks later we had an electrician out for something else. We asked that other electrician to replace the fixture that we had gone out to buy per Mike's suggestion. The electrician determined there was nothing wrong with the fixture and just had a loose wire from Mike's work. The new electrician did not charge me for this service. If Mike had spent one minute taking out 4 screws he could have made the same conclusion. Instead, Mike lost a customer and got a bad Yelp review. read more

Had Curry Electric out to check out a roof vent and found out it needed a new motor. After calling to speak to them about pricing for a replacement I was told a new motor (not including trip charge or hourly rate) would be well over $75 I mentioned that I can get a brand new roof vent for $100 at which point the woman on the phone began screaming at me to "find someone else". When I asked to speak to the owner she told me she was the owner and hung up. read more

Needed to have a motion sensor and a spotlight installed. Curry Electric did it for a reasonable price. Following the installation, I wanted to "tweak" the motion sensor to increase its sensitivity, and Curry took care of it the same day I contacted them. Would not hesitate to use them the next time I need an electrician! read more
