Our experience with Amp'd Up was fantastic. From the first time we contacted Mike, he responded to our call quickly and scheduled our project within days. He showed up on time! Imagine that - a contractor that shows up at 8am as promised. I almost fell over when the doorbell rang. Mike completed several electrical projects quickly and he did excellent work. We are very happy customers and will use Amp'd Up for all of our electrical projects. read more

Mike is reliable, knowledgeable, courteous, prompt, proficient and has good communications skills. His rate is fair and his work is very good. He can troubleshoot a problem even on a complicated smart home system like mine, and yet can also do the basic work too. I highly recommend Mike. read more

I can't say enough about Mike! He is professional, accommodating and REALLY good at what he does! He transformed my kitchen from "nice" to SPECTACULAR! I had multiple projects and he worked efficiently and finished everything ahead of schedule. I was very pleased with his prices and billing; everything was itemized! THANK YOU, Mike! I've already ready recommended you to three people!!! read more

I found Mike on Yelp. We had other experiences with KB Electric...they're a close third. But Mike was just how I like them. Prompt. Clean. Courteous. Efficient. Reasonable. Doesn't get any better. read more

Mike solved an "electrical mystery" for me in my home in Randolph. He returned my call the same day, arrived when he said he would, quoted me a price before the work, and solved the problem by finding a loose wire on one outlet that was impacting multiple lights. My final invoice was exactly as he estimated, even though it took a bit of extra time to diagnose the issue. I would highly recommend Amp'd Up Electrical for electrical work read more

We discovered Amp'd Up on Yelp. Normally, we go by friends recommendations, but we were impressed with his reviews & called Mike to schedule an appointment. He was very accessible to reach & we met him within a day or 2 of our call. We had a challenging project we wanted to achieve & Amp'd Up was the only electric contractor that was willing & trustworthy to take on the project. We have an 1860's home & wanted our 2nd floor to be wired for ceiling lights as there were none. Mike knew there would be some challenges (plaster ceilings, possible knob-in-tube wiring), but is skilled enough to know how deal with any obstacles. On the day of the job, Mike showed up to our appointment on time. He began working immediately & was able to answer all of our electrical questions & curiosities throughout the day. Mike works fast but is extremely clean & pays attention to the every detail. Within 1 day, 4 rooms were wired for lighting & 4 very intricate antique chandeliers were hung & working. Mike also suggested we get light dimmers & it was a great added touch. Overall, great, clean work & the job came under estimate. He left our home spotless! Amp'd Up will be our forever electrician we use for ongoing projects. I highly recommend Mike at Amp'd Up for all of your electrical needs. BEST EVER! (8/3 - Passed township electric inspection with no issues & inspector complimented the good work of Amp'd Up) read more

See all

Haven't made a call to the house yet, but gave Mike a ring to ask about some loose wires I found in the basement. He asked me to send a pic to take a look-- they were only telephone wires. This saved us both time from Mike coming... and me a service call fee. Earlier I had called a competitor and he said flat out he'd need to come and charge $100. Yay for efficiency! Thanks, Mike! read more

We decided to go with Mike based on the great feed back and reviews and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Mike for always providing us with great service. read more

Mike upgraded my electric system and i was impressed with the quality work he did. Would definitely recommend him for any electrical needs. Keep up the great work Mike. read more

If you're in the northern NJ / tristate area and you need an electrician, Amp'd Up Electrical and specifically it's owner Mike are the best in the business. Mike is not only exceptionally skilled, he's quite creative. We had a few projects in our condo and with concrete walls and a number of building restrictions, Mike was able to come up with solutions to everything. His prices are equally fair and competitive, he honest in his dealings - he's very helpful when scheduling, and he's always on time. I saw one negative review on this site, against TONS of positive feedback - is ignore just about everything that other reviewer said as the lame musings of a crank. read more

Mike is a true professional. His work speaks for itself. Very happy with the electrical work recently done. His estimate was spot on and left the place spotless. Will definitely have him do more work in the future. Highly recommend! read more

Prompt, courteous, thorough, careful ... helped with the wiring for the blower fan on a wood burning fireplace insert. Did a nice job and the price was very reasonable. read more

I hired Mike install a whole house generator. I got three estimates that were pretty equivalent but Mike stood out because he really took the time to review the job and was the only one to point out a big problem I had with the existing wiring. He corrected the problem and installed the generator with no hitches. On time, on price and great workmanship! Great job Mike. read more

Extremely poor customer service and now, it appears, faulty workmanship. Michael has a temper and is terrible when interacting with customers - he gets a little too "amp'd up". Communication with customers needs to be improved - he accused us of not being available at certain points during a service upgrade though he never communicated those expectations to us in advance - AND he needs to better understand professional conduct. His last call to my home resulted in him yelling at/about my children and my wife feeling unsafe in his presence. I'm now in the process of having to hire a new electrician to correct issues on prior work done by this company. He should be responsible for addressing these issues but we don't feel comfortable with him anywhere near our home/children. I hope my post spares other potential customers a similar experience. read more

Mike is a great guy, a pro and a gentleman. He disconnected an attic fan, extended a junction box, secured faulty connections, and gave advice. He is prompt and organized. read more

Mike was very helpful and honest. I contacted him regarding electrical work that needed to be done to accommodate a new dryer. It turns out I purchased the wrong dryer and Mike helped me identify that issue. He did not charge me for his services and I am very appreciative of his help. He was very honest throughout and thank you Mike! read more

Mike is always on time and always does the job he promises. We've used him for 4 years now, and won't go to anyone else. From attic fans to kitchen outlets, he explains each job down to the last wire. His rates are extremely fair, and I have and would recommend his services to anyone looking for quality work to be done. read more

I contacted Mike because of the positive reviews on Yelp. We have some wires that needed to be checked before we put in a drop ceiling, we had a basement light switch that needed replacement and also a wall unit air condition that is being replaced by a window. Mike texted me updates to confirm our appointment and another when he was on his way. He was punctual. He charges by the hour which was great because he is all business. He does not chit chat and then stick you with a big bill. We are planning to hire Mike again in the near future to add lighting in our kitchen. read more

We called Mike to do an estimate as our first order of business when we bought our new home in Clifton. He replaced our old, corroded fuse box, installed a ceiling light in our living room, and created to outdoor outlets for us. He is efficient and polite, his pricing is fair. He is honest and helpful, and cleans up after a job (which has not been our experience with some contractors.) We plan to call him again for some other jobs in the house. I would absolutely recommend him for any electrical work you need. read more

Mike absolutely saved the day when he was able to quickly come change an outlet (after my own failed attempt). He arrived within 30 minutes of my call, did not make me feel like a total asshole for not being able to complete the job myself and was able to quickly resolve the situation. He was professional and knowledgeable and I will plan on calling Amp'd Up for any future electrical emergencies. read more

WEICHERT REALTORS, Clifton, recommended this idiot & when he came to my house I was not impressed to say the least. I had an earache & asked to him to pls. repeat something twice & he screamed at me: "what are you deaf, lady." I ordered him to leave immediately. He was rude, out to make "as fast buck" insisting the electrical panel box had to be replaced when it wasn't in code violation. Stay away from this fraudster. read more

Let me start with saying this is the first time I have ever written a review on Yelp and I felt compelled to do so because of the overwhelmingly positive and professional experience I had with Mike and his outstanding work at Amp'd Up Electrical. I discovered Amp'd Up Electrical online, after reading a number of positive reviews I decided to reach out to schedule an appointment. Mike was very easy to reach, exceptionally responsive and came out to see my project shortly thereafter. I live in a pre-1900's home so I was looking for lighting (NONE of my rooms had anything pre-existing) so more specifically i needed to install recessed lighting (8+ in total), some ceiling fans and a panel upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp, so Mike had thought this was a 2 day job (got it done in 2 days too, talk about fast work without any lack of quality). After my initial meeting with Mike I knew he was the right direction for me (before even seeing how fair his estimates were) he provided really useful insight/feedback on the approach/design to my lighting project, which no other company came close to, his attention to my project's specific details and potential challenges was outstanding. The estimate which followed was extremely timely, very fair and easy to understand, Mike was available to walk-through it if needed and the process with him was great. After signing up there were no hidden surprises in Mike's work (that weren't a result of the house's nature, which there were none anyway). Mike was always on time (if not early), responsive to all communication throughout the project, super efficient, clean, professional, and truly has a great eye for detail. His work was FANTASTIC, literally exceeded every expectation I could have had (the quality of work was only further confirmed by our inspector who praised everything up and down). All the lighting came out amazing, you would think the house was built with it since day 1 by the quality of how everything was installed and how clean everything was left. The electrical panel upgrade was equally as impressive in all aspects (Mike even had to build a new frame to mount the panel to since my exterior basement wall is all stone). I would HIGHLY recommend Mike at Amp'd Up for all/any of your electrical needs, I can not stress enough how excellent my experience with Mike was from start to finish and the quality of his work is a direct reflection of that. read more

I had a need for work that had a timeframe limit on it. I had to be prepared for a state inspection in the coming days. Mike was flexible enough to work on this job early morning. His professionalism and quality of work is a 5 star. I've used him for big and small projects and will continue to use Mike for electrical work. Highly recommend. read more

Called Mike with a no power problem. He arrived within an hour diagnosed the problem and was done in less than an hour.What I thought would be an expensive repair turned out to be a lot less. Mike is knowledgeable and very professional. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I'd give them 0 STARS if there were an option! Be AWARE! Mike needs to take a class on how to handle potential customers! Not only he wasn't able to handle a simple negotiation in a decent way, he sent us a Sales Tax Form ST-8 (Certificate of Exempt/Capital Improvement Form) to fill out for a totally overpriced receptacle replacement job that has nothing to do with the Capital Improvement! That form, if filled by us, would not only provide him with a double benefit (by taxing us), but it would potentially put us in a legally liable situation by misrepresenting the job! If you are contracting someone for just a repair job (of a bad receptacle replacement for example), no such from is necessary and you SHOULD BE paying taxes on the repair - labor and parts. However, if it is related to the capital improvement (something major that increases value of your property), you SHOULD NOT be paying the labor and parts taxes for the job done to your contractor - this is what this Tax Form ST-8 is designed for! Find and Read the Instructions to that form he is NOT providing you with! We are not there to help him to scam the system and put ourselves in a legally accountable situation! Here is the link for your convenience: http://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/pdf/other_forms/sales/st8.pdf This is my reply to Mike's dishonest comment from 1/13/2017: Speaking of fair, what would be fair is for you to be honest and stick to your original quote. It is dishonest of you to say in your comments below that I asked you to do 1 hour job for half hour rate. This was quite the opposite! We were willing to pay you a full hour rate + for just 0.5 hour job until you started jacking up the price. You also left room for "additional costs" in your written estimate. Is that fair? And is replacing a receptacle (and possibly a cord, which is provided) 0.5 hour or 1 - 1.5 job? Anyone with a similar experience would tell you that this is less than 0.5 hour job! It would also be fair if you'd actually reply to my questions about rates and forms and explain that the ST-8 form was sent to us in error. I, in fact, asked you about the ST-8 form and tax implications in a message to which you NEVER replied. If I didn't research what that form was about, we would be held accountable for filling it out for you. I have our entire correspondence saved and would happily share the details with those who are interested to know more, like how much you wanted to charge for half an hour job, which we find totally outrageous for the area. And, given Yelp's limitations to directly reply to your comments, you thought that we would not find a way to publicly reply to your dishonest comments? Well, wrong, the truth always finds a way to get out! I am also happy to inform that we found a great and honest electrician in the area! He is charging less than your initial (which we thought was reasonable, until you jacked it up) quote for the same work. He is also being given the opportunity to work with dozens of owners in the same building! I am not sorry to say that you missed that opportunity! Take care as well. read more

I hired Mike for some electrical repair work. He was very professional and knowledgeable, and I appreciated that he took the time to explain why things were a certain way and share some helpful tips. But what really impressed me was how dedicated he was to doing things the right way and ensuring that everything was safe and proper. I would absolutely recommend him. read more

Mike was very responsive via text message. I contacted him after hours for an emergency situation and he responded quickly and fixed the problem - all at a very fair and reasonable cost. While he was here, he helped answer our questions about other future projects and educate us on the problem we had and how to fix it in the future. We will definitely be using him again. read more

This young man really knows his stuff. He came to our house as promised completed the work and charged us a reasonable price. How unheard of is that? read more
