Super great guy. Came over quickly to fix our oops. Reasonable price and very fast!

Richard definitely deserves a 5 star rating. He's very knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and honest at what he does. We called him to install a ceiling fan in our loft to include wiring. With that, Richard scheduled the installation within a few days with a really reasonable cost.

When he arrived, he discussed our cost options based on the location of where we wanted to place the fan with its reference to the center of the room and the beams in the crawl space.

The installation was an additional $25 for him to install a bracket for the center of the room placement of the fan if there was no beam in the location.

It turned out that after he measured everything, the beam was 5 inches from the center of the room. Rather than charging us the $25 bracket installation fee, he asked if we were willing to save money and have him just install the fan on the beam as it would give the fan more stability based on its usage. We were definitely okay with that, even if $25 was still reasonable.

Richard installed the fan in about an hour. The work was completed neatly too.

Keep him in mind for any electrical needs in your home.

Richard came out to install additional outdoor outlet and switch for some patio string lights which were hung.

He arrived within the time he scheduled and did a awesome job.

Easy to talk to and answers all questions I had.

Will definitely be scheduling him for additional electrical work.

Thanks again Richard.

I heard of Richard from good reviews on NextDoor so I gave him a try to install a ceiling fan. Richard communicated well, came on time on the day he said he would and his price was fair and reasonable. He worked efficiently and was clean. He did a great job and the fan looks good and works good. I would recommend him.

Richard has been a great help with my personal and rental property electrician needs. He has been helping me and my family with various issues over the past 5 years or so. He is always prompt, charges reasonable rates, and fixes the issues on the first attempt. Richard has resolved ceiling fan issues, changes to breaker panels, LED lighting upgrades and issues, and a couple of other items I am forgetting at the moment. I have referred him to several folks looking for a reliable electrician. Thanks again for the help, Richard! I feel confident about sending you to my rentals when I'm not able to be there.

Good electrician to hire if the job is very simple. I had taken a day off from work to have Richard install fans, he was committed until he peeked in the attic. The wiring installation was not complicated, it only required 2-3 hours of work for the next electrician.

If I gave you a clear description of what was needed and what was involved prior to a actual visit, it's not cool to cancel because it's not a very simple job. Simple means a quick job, pocket 350 in an hour and run. Taking time off work is challenging and there's a cost factor in addition to paying for your services.

I'm sorry to say that I didn't have the same experience with Richard as others. I contacted him to get a quote to fix/replace the ballasts and to install an outlet in my garage. I also needed our transformer replaced for our low voltage landscape lights. His rates seemed reasonable but his communication skills were poor.

First, he doesn't come by to inspect the area to see what is needed. He texted me he won't look, he just comes by to do the job.

He said if he couldn't rewire it then he would just install his LED bulbs and said his are a warm light. I said I preferred cooler/brighter lights and tried to get his guidance on buying LED lights. I figured I'd just upgrade. He wasn't very helpful in helping me figure out what I needed and didn't respond to several of my texts. I felt left to my own to figure out what I needed.

He said the outlet in the garage would need to be GFI. And he recommended I replace the landscape lights with 12w LED lights.

We agreed on a day and time (1p). He arrived at 9a when I was out of the house trying to get the replacement LED shop lights. He told my wife I had said 9a and then checked his text to see that it was supposed to be 1p. He told my wife he had other jobs and might not be able to come back.

He arrived at 2p and said he wasn't interested in doing the ballast job because the type of lights I bought would be about a 2-3hr job. He installed the outlet but when it was done I noticed it wasn't GFI. I brought it to his attention and he said it would be alright. I said he had told me it needed to be GFI and he said it wasn't a big deal because it was going to be behind my work bench and I don't have any little kids who could get to it. Does that sound right?

Transformer was installed without issue. But then he told me he didn't have enough wire connectors to do the landscape LED bulbs. He said he'd save me some money and show me how to do it. He installed one bulb and it was teally bright! Somewhat my own fault for not checking the lumens (900 each light, and there's 8 of them), but I was following his advice. If he had bothered to see the space first, or ask me about it, then I would hope he would have noticed it wasn't a big space that needed that much light. We just needed ambient lighting.

Lastly he overcharged me. I paid him, but then realized the error later. I texted him and he should have owed me $60 based on original quote. But he said the outlet was more since he didn't do the ballasts. He didn't tell me that after he said he wasn't interested in doing that job. He said he'll stop by when he's in the area (to pay me $35). We'll see.

Very frustrating. I value my time and also respect others' time. I wanted to be sure to have everything in place and do it right the first time. I try to do my homework and make the best choice for our home. So now I'm left with a job undone and outdoor lights that need to be returned. I'm not a confrontational person and just tend to chalk it up as lesson learned. Felt strongly enough to write this review and hopefully others won't have the same experience.

I had several sockets broken in the house, and I was calling around to find the best deal. Richard gave me the lowest quote, and was at my house in literally 15 minutes!!!! Even firefighters don't respond this quick! He was really down to earth, and knowledgeable. He explained what was the issue, and fixed the problem in about 30 minutes. Wow! Thank you, for such great work! Will definitely call again, should the need arise.

This is my 3rd time using Richard, and my 3rd time updating my review. The support that he provides is really awesome. This time I needed a couple of light fixtures and an outlet (GFI) that I could not do myself. He came out and took the time to see what work I needed done, and gave me a great quote. There were a few other things that I needed done that he said I could do myself, and he took the time to show me how to do it and helped me out. Then we set up a time for him to come back a week later to do the other work that I needed him to do....he was there when he said he would be, and did amazing work, super quick. Richard is awesome...I will never use another electrician again. I have a whole list of things that he is coming back to do for us.

Total professional! Mr. Piselli really went above and beyond the original request to install a ceiling fan. He noticed there was something off with the light switch wiring, fixed it AND left it better than he found it. That is rare these days, my friends! Highly recommend his services. He upgraded my switch, too. What a genius!
