Eric Able was great in every facet. Initially he gave me some instructions on how to fix our water sprinkler box issue myself (no charge) but after my efforts and no luck he came out. It turns out the box had burnt out due to water damage. He gave me every detail as to what was the problem and how he was going to fix it. He then went about replacing and relocating a new sprinkler system box so it wouldn't be prone to have the same outcome. He also fixed a couple leaks from the sprinkler valves and replaced the outdoor electrical outlet with a better one for free because he had the parts in his rig. All in all it was a great experience. He showed up when he said he would and 2.5 hours later everything was fixed. He is a very nice and polite guy who was really competent. Use Able Electric for all your Electric needs.

First of all, when Eric gave a phone estimate that was much lower than other quotes, I was skeptical. But he arrived on site, did an examination, and shockingly stuck to his phone quote.
Secondly, he's a magician. I needed him to install a mounting bracket and wiring so I could put up a ceiling fan. He couldn't use my attic to access the rooms, but somehow he figured out how to install the wiring without cutting into the drywall (other than the cut to install the mounting brackets).
Highly recommended for all your electrical needs!

What can I say?! Eric is seriously my hero! I was supposed to have an outlet installed today, which needed to happen today in order for our crown molding and rope light to be installed. The electrician I had arranged to come and do the job, called and cancelled last minute, saying they couldn't come today but could come tomorrow. Since tomorrow was too late I was in a bind. I called Eric at Able Electric and he said he would be able to stop by late afternoon after he finished all his other jobs for the day. He ended up being able to come two hours earlier than anticipated and was able to get the outlet installed even though it was more complex than just installing an outlet in the wall. His rate was extremely reasonable and he was very professional. I asked him about three other, non-urgent, electrical issues I had. He trouble shot them for me and provided simple solutions that will not cost me much money at all. He is so knowledgeable and is really cost conscious with his customers' money.
Thank you Eric!

Great service and took the time to explain the problem. A lot of value working with Able Electric.

I originally called Able Electric to trouble shoot a bad outlet in a bedroom. They were very courteous and friendly when explaining what their plans were and the cost to that point. This job soon opened up a can of worms as it uncovered multiple wiring mistakes that the previous home owner had installed. After showing me the multiple connections of wires that needed repairs, they came up with a couple different safe solutions that would fit within my budget. In the end they really worked with me to find the best fix at what I consider to be a very reasonable price, especially considering they had to climb around an attic for an hour. Throughout the entire job they were courteous and willing to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend Able Electric.

Did a great job installing an extra recessed light in our kitchen and fixing a dangerous lighting fixture in the bathroom. Was very knowledgeable, gave me all the options available and charged competitive rates. They were also very friendly and left the space as clean as they found it. Will definitely use them again :-)

Personable, excellent service, and very reasonable rates. I highly recommend him. Erik responded to my call the next business day for a job that I partially completed. He was professional and courteous unlike others that I called before him to do the same job; the others (found on HomeAdvisor) were pompous and hesitant of my work without seeing it. Erik was on time for our appointment, he completed the job in a timely manner, and charged me exactly what he quoted me for a 6-hour job. His rate was what the others were quoting for half the job. He went above and beyond my expectations. He added practical finishing touches to the job that weren't discussed but that I was very thankful for. He also gave me advice and instructions on how to complete another project without having to contract him or anyone else and save me money. I will certainly use him for all my difficult electric projects and recommend him to all my friends, family, and colleagues.

We have been using Eric since 2010. He knows what he is doing! We had a warranty on a large hanging fixture. The company wanted an additional $400 for lift to remove the light and replaced. Eric simply pulled over the large fixture to the second floor and repaired it! It was less than 1/4 of what these people wanted. He is honest and gets the job done.

This guy is the real deal. Old school dude, straight-shooter, nice, and honest. I called on a Saturday after I tried to replace a kitchen light on my own and found some strange double wiring going on (in a 65 yr old house), so I wanted an expert to look at it. I talked to him and texted him a photo. He called back and gave me a very fair estimate and was able to come that same day. After doing the entire job (including installing the light, which he didn't have to do), we then realized why the double wiring was there: it connected to another outlet, and my other light had stopped working. So he redid the entire job and didn't charge me more for it, even though it would have been totally fair for him to do so. I would definitely recommend him and I would urge you not to listen to the negative reviews because they don't know what they're talking about. I've been ripped off by other electricians before, so I know the difference. Eric runs a small business and he is the one who shows up, so you know who you're going to deal with. Guy is solid.

I called him for an estimate. He did not seem interested to consult with me, rather he wanted me to send him pictures instead of coming in person. :(
