Art Cabrera was recommended to us by members of the Kensington-Windsor Terrace newsgroup. They raved about him, and so we decided to use him to install an outdoor light and outlet, an indoor light fixture, and to change a regular electric outlet to a GFCI outlet, since it was next to our bathroom sink. Art was great: came to the house, wrote down everything we said we wanted, and called in a couple of days with the price--which couldn't be beat! He came on time on the appointed day, unloaded his stuff and got to work! within a few hours, all the work was done perfectly. We're very happy! We're having him come back after the holidays to install some light fixtures for us and check out a few other electrical things. Best of all, he left everything as neat as a pin. We highly recommend Art! read more

I needed an electrical line and socket installed for a new microwave oven before installers put in the kitchen cabinets. Installers were on a deadline so I had to find someone immediately. After contacting several companies without any luck due to the holiday, I was happily surprised that Art Cabrera made time in spite of his busy schedule to do work for me at short notice. He was prompt, knowledgeable and very thorough with his work. He also disconnected a ceiling exhaust fan and gave me helpful advice on how to cover up the hole where the fan was. If you are looking for an honest, dependable and reasonably-priced electrician, you should definitely contact Art. He is now my go-to person for any electrical issues in my apartment and will recommend him to my neighbors. read more

Artie and I arranged a day and time to come figure out why the cooker and extractor fan were cut. I asked how much the call out charge and cost would be. He showed up - a little late (but that was to do with the local parking situation) was polite, quick and efficient. He diagnosed and explained the issue. It was exactly how much he had said up front which was reasonable (compared to another electrician I had called out). I asked a quote on other things (changing sockets, hooking up lighting in the lounge, putting in additional switches) on each he either gave a breakdown of more than reasonable prices or offered inexpensive solutions from elsewhere. I highly recommend this company and Artie. read more

I hired Artie in October to install track-lighting in my kitchen. When he arrived and took at look around, he explained to me that he would have to run an extra cable up from the basement, because the existing circuits in the kitchen were already at capacity due to the dishwasher and refrigerator, in addition to all the other outlets. He communicated this to me clearly so that I could understand why it was necessary, and he ended up giving me a very reasonable price for the extra work! Very knowledgeable professional and super friendly, I highly recommend Horizon to anyone in need of residential electric work! read more

I called this company early this morning about a problem in the apartment, and they were able to come within a couple hours. He checked the problem thoroughly, and moved a heavy washer/dryer to get to the fuse box. He went to the store to get the unusual part we needed, and was informative about the problem we had. Service was very good and professional. I would certainly call them again. read more
