Malden Electric stepped right in to rewire our entire 100+ year old house after a serious fire…read more Beautiful job; very dependable, efficient crew, expert job, great relationship with the owner & Master Electrician. Then half the power in our house went out. Repeatedly and randomly. Made calls to Malden Electric for a look-see. No response. Nada. Many, many calls later, messages left, total silence from our Once-Great crew & owner. We need flashlights to see our way through the house, no ability to use our snazzy new ceiling fans, no money to hire another Electrician to FINISH this job. Trusted these guys, loved the quality of their repair work. Until it all went very, very bad. Beware.

Art Skinner, from Malden Electric, was hired by our insurance company to review a suspicious…read moreinsurance claim submitted by another electrician we had hired. Art was good to the core. He knew we were taken advantage of by another electrician, and he felt terrible for us. He wanted to do everything he could to help us out. His face would turn bright red with anger when he had to meet w/ the other electrician because he knew how dishonest this other guy was, and he didn't think we were treated fairly by the other guy. So if you are looking for an honest electrician who will treat you right.. a guy you can trust, then this is your guy. As I mentioned above, he is good to the core. The most important trait you can look for when hiring a contractor.

Pains me to write a poor review, but sadly their service has degraded substantially over time…read more Colman used to be great, now it seems they are just electric drifters. We had an electrician come to diagnose arc fault issues. - The electrician reported that the issue was due to a particular AC using too much amperage. But when we unplug the AC - issues still persist. - The electrician claimed (without measuring anything) that the AC used 20A, but the label says 11.5A - The electrician ended by recommending I pay $5000 to upgrade the Amperage for the entire apartment I immediately called the office so they could send a different technician to re-evaluate. They stonewalled me, refused to re-evaluate the issue, or admit the absurdity of the issue First call cost $360 (already very expensive) and Colman refused to send anyone to reinspect the issue or issue a refund.

In Massachusetts, many plumbing and HVAC companies overcharge by layering unnecessary services…read more First, you're billed for the answering service. Then, someone else shows up just to look at the problem. Finally, a third person provides an appraisal--leaving you with the highest invoice, even for the simplest job. A repair that should cost under $100 in parts can easily end up costing $1,000. On top of that, while they promise a 24-hour response, you can still end up waiting two weeks in the middle of a hot summer for your AC to actually be fixed. But if you call Dave at Alwife Plumbing 617-699-4358, it's a completely different experience. He and his small, professional team handle the job efficiently and on a reasonable budget. Dave often knows exactly what needs to be fixed after just a simple phone call or text message--and he always approaches the work with the happiest, most helpful attitude.

Very expensive project (20g plus!) should be done well! It's been about 1.5 years since they installed two hvac systems. They are still trying to fix the systems and make then work correct. Every time thy are here they damage our walls. The system is still open and unfinished. They have rerouted things and replaced parts galore but it still is terrible. 2/111/19 update I'm happy to post an update. It's taken YEARS to have the system mostly working. Alewife has returned numerous times to try and fix things. 20% of the issues were related to the insulating problem, but that doesn't change the fact that the humidifier was installed incorrectly and had to be uninstalled. (that $1000 piece of equipment is sitting on our basement floor, useless). We removed ALL THE INSULATION and opened up the whole space AGAIN so that alewife could "fix" it all again. Yes the company will return to fix things, but why do we have so many problems with the system all along? Nobody is accepting responsibility for their poor installations.

The other night our doorbell rang and no one was there. My husband and I then noticed that the box…read morewhere our bell rings inside the house was humming. After calling some handy people and looking up the diagnosis online, we figured out that our doorbell shorted out. Luckily, I was told by a family friend to immediately disconnect one of the wires from the box to stop to the humming. The next morning, I called Mister Sparky to schedule an appointment for an electrician to come out and fix our doorbell. The earliest appointment I could get was two days away. I took the appointment and was given a range of 3 hours for when he would show up. I asked how much it would cost to fix the doorbell and I was told that it would be $59 for them to come out, but that they would have what it took to fix the door bell in their truck. I did not call anyone else since I thought this was a reasonable price. The electrician did show up on time (and I also got a call about 45 minutes before hand to make sure I would be home). He laid down a small rubber-like rug to prevent the floors from getting dirty and wore little booties around the house as well. He was also very polite, patient, and answered all of my questions. With that said, I feel like I was very misled about the cost. The electrician informed me that it cost $59 for them to come to the house, and then the diagnostic services for fixing my doorbell would range in price from $99 to $199. Meanwhile, I had told the company on the phone exactly what was wrong and told the electrician exactly what was wrong with the door bell upon his arrival. Although the electrician completely agreed with my diagnosis, it still cost an additional $99 for him to make the diagnosis. From there, it cost an additional $50 for him to replace one door bell. So as you can see, what I though would be under $100 to fix a door bell, quickly became over $200. So although the service was completely fine, I was extremely dissatisfied with the price since it was a lot more than what I had expected. Update (1 day after I wrote the original review above): I have to say that my husband was a little upset that I didn't call the business first to express my disappointment before taking to Yelp. The manager from Mister Sparky called me back this morning and explained the call center process and that customer satisfaction is very important to them and a part of their mission statement. He was able to refund the diagnosis fee this time (explaining that this would not apply to future visits). I have to say that the unknown diagnosing fee was the ONLY thing that I was disappointed with during the visit. Now that this is remedied, I was absolutely satisfied with everything, including how they handled my complaint. The only reason why I'm not updating my review from three stars to five stars is because I truly feel that it is important to explain the likely fees to the customers before the visit. The manager did say that he would pass this request on to the call center. Other than this though, Mister Sparky was really fantastic - they took the time to explain the pricing (once they were here and later on the phone), answer all of my questions (which there were many), polite, patient, on time, clean, and they fixed the problem. I would absolutely recommend them to others in the future.... just make sure that you ask in advance about the diagnosing fees....

Will definitely use them again in the future should we have any issues.
