This is a long overdue review for Sakonnet Electric. We have used Sakonnet on a number of projects,…read morelarge and small, and have been very happy with their work. What stands out most about this company is that they are responsive to your calls, show up on the day of the appointment and do a great job always leaving the area neat and tidy. The owner and his staff couldn't be nicer to deal with.

I've used Sakonnet for several projects and they are great. Professional, prompt, courteous and…read moretheir work is flawless. And good people too. Highest recommendation I can give.

I needed 4 combination smoke/carbon monoxide detectors installed. I had called a couple of other…read moreelectricians before I found F & S Electric but was disappointed that they would not tell me an approximate price. They wanted to come out and charge me money just to tell me how much they were going to charge me. Not to install anything just to tell me a price. It was a relief to find F & S Electric who was more than capable of emailing me a price and also telling me if I wanted to save money I could shop around and buy my own detectors instead of buying the brand they had in stock. So that is what I did. I was given a day and time for installation without a long wait. The electrician showed up exactly on time. Right down to the second. 5 stars for prompt, professional, courteous service. After installation, he tested them all to make sure they worked properly. I would definitely recommend this company.

I booked an attic knob and tube inspection via their portal, expanding it to a whole-house…read moreinspection upon arrival. The initial inspector completely missed active knob and tube on the first floor--even writing "No active knob and tube seen" in the first floor notes section--and failed to report ungrounded fabric wiring. Though promised an estimate the next day, I received zero communication until I followed up 8 days later. Due to the missed hazards, they sent a senior technician. He also missed the ungrounded fabric wiring until I insisted he physically pull an outlet from the wall. This process lasted from late May into July. I never received a second inspection report, only another estimate. When I raised these safety and communication concerns, management took zero accountability. The financial controller only defended the initial 8-day delay, and the vice president deflected blame onto me and onto their own employee. I cannot recommend a company that misses critical safety hazards and responds with defensiveness.

Top notch work, easy to schedule an appointment, prompt arrival. I've recommended his services to my daughter and my neighbor - both were highly satisfied.

First, they pick up the phone…read more Second, having picked up the phone, they employ an actual office staff to schedule appointments and not some guy you can barely hear in the middle of a job who never calls you back. Third, they actually do schedule these appointments and maintain communication via email, texts, etc. This is a marked improvement over the guy you can barely hear in the middle of a job who never calls you back. Fourth, the electrician who came was competent, timely, and flexible (he came a day earlier than scheduled). Other reviewers here and elsewhere have complained about costs. I had no issues whatsoever. The price was reasonable for the electrical work he wound up doing. He explained some parts of the electrical system that I didn't understand and clarified that I didn't need any extra work done. Obviously I appreciated that candor. He was also a pretty good dude, easy to relate/talk to, and I always prefer dealing with friendly contractors than sour ones. So in sum, this is a professional outfit and what I've come to expect in the 21st century, with an office staff, scheduling software, and prompt, helpful specialists--but sadly it's something I don't often find in the world of contracting.

We were in need of an electrician but had no one in.mind & our friends had no recommendations. My…read morehusband came on Yelp & called a few listed here. We also called the electrician that installed our whole house generator a couple of years ago. We left msg with that dude several times, & he didn't even have the courtesy to return the call & say sorry, too busy! Anyway, Romano was one of 3 who returned our call. Chris wasnt able to come by the same day but said he would call us the next day. The other 2 electricans left us with a "I'll call you next week if I have the time to come by" vibe. Translates to; let me see how my cash flow is going, & If I need money, I'll go by. Not Chris! He called us back within 30 min of our original call. Apologized he couldn't make it that day, but would be here the next day by a certain time. AND HE WAS! Dressed neatly, worked neatly & kept the mess (dust etc) to the minimum. Cleaned his work area as he went along, realizing he was in a kitchen & sawdust didn't mix well with food. Worked quickly. The following day we realized another switch wasnt working. We called him back. He was a bit confused a moment bc he hadn't touched that circuit, but was determined to solve the mystery. Our house was built in 1850. Layer of ceilings covered old wires from several decades ago. He was able to trace the wiring & power without cutting a large hole in my ceiling. Just 2 small squares. He was able to find the short in the wiring & patched the ceiling quite well too. Chris will be my first call in the future.

He was outstanding in every way. arrived on time, very professional and friendly. thoroughly explained what he was going to do. He discovered that I had no power in my smoke detectors! they were running on battery only! He quickly diagnosed the problem as a loose wire in one of the 9 detectors. He disassembled the unit and fixed the problem while telling me exactly what he was doing. Also showed me how to tell if the power in the units was on so it did not happen again. great service. I will request Paul any time I have an electrical issue!

Had PM service done on A/C. My girlfriend was told the capacitor was dead and refrigerant, R410a…read morewas no longer approved by the EPA. Tech Alex claimed they aren't able to replace the refrigerant anymore. Said the unit was too old to be serviced and that the blower in the attic was corroded and needed to be replaced. Performed none of the required maintenance and gave her a quote for a new unit. $18,000. Keep in mind I do maintenance for a living, so I know a few basic things. I got home and looked up the refrigerant and it says you can still use R410a refrigerant, but new units can't be made using it. Lie #1 I opened the unit and did some voltage measurements to find no voltage coming in to the contactor. I checked the breaker. Was fine. Opened the Disconnect box and noticed the red service handle was set to OFF. I pulled it out, flipped it to ON and sure enough, the unit began working as if nothing happened. If the capacitor was bad, it wouldn't have come on. Lie #2 I opened the case on the condenser to find it had not been cleaned at all. I cleaned it. Vacuumed all the leaves and sprayed the coils off with a garden hose. I've heard this company has changed owners recently. Obviously, they don't have the customer's best interests in mind. I am pissed.
