"We called on Monday morning and he arrived Monday evening. He was able to solve our very tough smoke system repair by using his many years of experience as an electrician to solve the problem. Before he found the problem, he took time to bring our electrical box to code. He also took the time to tighten all our electrical ...more circuit breakers. We asked

several questions about other electrical issues we have and he took the time to patiently work us through potential solutions. He is articulate, well educated and goes the extra mile to ensure his customers are satisfied with the complete scope of his work. We don't plan to use anyone other than

for our future electrical repair needs."

"Highly recommend. My wife and I would hire them again. (1) They gave us a free estimate for the rooftop antenna installation. Other companies we contacted wanted to charge for the estimate (as much as $50). (2) They supplied everything necessary to get the job done (antenna, antenna mount, cable wire, etc) and had it all ready to go the day of the ...more appointment. (3) Everyone we dealt with at

was professional and very pleasant. (4) They gave us a fair price and were true to their estimate cost. (5) The owner,

, gave us a follow-up call to make sure everything went well and that we were happy. FYI - We located them on the Service Magic website where there are tons more excellent ratings for

"Emailed on Monday night and he was able to come out on Tuesday morning. Very polite, prompt and professional and knowledgeable. Would definitely use again."

" Electric ( is the owner/operator) was great. I called and left him a message, and he promptly called back. He made it easy to set up an appointment, and worked with my schedule. He showed up on time (5 minutes early) and actually called about 10 minutes before he arrived to confirm. He's very pleasant and ...more easy to talk to, and got straight to work. He had the old unit removed, the wires checked and the new unit installed and tested in 25 minutes. He told me when to test it and recommended that we install an additional smoke-alarm for the 2nd bedroom.

made it easy, and I would use his services again."

"That was the best experience I've had with a repair service. showed up the day after I first called him to give me an estimate, and in the course of the estimate, did an incredibly thorough review of our system. He also gave me a very reasonable price at that time -- no waiting for the estimate. After consulting with my neighbor, ...more I called him to schedule a time. He called me back promptly and was incredibly accommodating with scheduling. Four days later, he arrived promptly and went to work. He fixed what he thought he would fix but found a couple of additional issues in the process. He was able to fix those as well, for a nominal additional charge (I think it was $10 more). He was professional, really friendly and, as I mentioned, really thorough. I would recommend him to anyone -- he knows what he's doing."

"I can't imagine why anyone would use an alarm company other than ! We called around a number of places to get price quotes, and Alert provided not only the best rate, but also had the most favorable terms. They bill for alarm monitoring by the quarter, and if you choose to cancel service you only what's ...more left in your quarter; other companies require a 2- or 3-year contract and have fees for early termination. Alert also provided top-notch service. They had to come to our home four times, and the three different technicians who showed up were extremely professional, courteous, and helpful. Because the developer of our condo had had less than optimal equipment installed, Alert had to upgrade several components, and they did it all without charging us for the parts!

(the Alert sales guy) is a pleasure to talk to, as well. Unlike other companies, he doesn't try to pressure you into buying more equipment by making you feel unsafe. I would recommend

to anyone, without reservation."

"The non-profit agency I work for needed a system so that we could see people at our door and be able to communicate with them before admitting them. We also needed to be able to buzz someone in and we had to install a door strike to do this. Because of the kind of lock we had, four of the five companies we got bids from insisted that this would entail ...more expensive replacement of our lock and wiring for a door strike.

suggested a simpler and much less expensive alternative that provides additional security when the office is empty. They also installed a door alarm for our rear door that can be turned on and off and they installed a monitor for that system as well. Their service was great, the price was right and they were completely professional. Tyrice (not sure of the spelling) and his assistant made the installation (wires, etc.) almost invisible and did a great job of demonstrating how to use and program both systems. They also cleaned up after their work like it was their own home or business. Great job!"

"I can't be more pleased. From sales to install, everyone was very professional. The sales person went over all of the option and did not pressure us. The install was extremely clean. The installers went over all of the equipment to make sure I knew how to use it."
