I am moving and wanted to remove all the knob and tube in my home before repainting the interior. My realtor, Nancy Skjei, recommended KB because she had worked with them several times and always had a good result. Alicia at KB responded to my request immediately. She scheduled my job in a timely fashion and went out of her way to put together a great Knob and Tube team for me. Egan, Paul, Joe & Sal started work promptly every morning at 8 am. Egan made great suggestions and explained carefully his answers to any questions.They were meticulous, courteous, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about every aspect of the job. They covered the area neatly with drop cloths, etc. before they worked, and cleaned up, including vacuuming and even mopping at one point, to make sure they left the area clean and neat when they were done. Everything works beautifully, our lighting and electrical are safe and up to all the best standards, and now I feel great about selling our house with all new, safe, efficient lighting to a new family. Knob and Tube removal and rewiring with new circuits is an expensive job no matter who does it--I felt that KB charged very fair prices, completely in line with industry norms for the massive amount of work they did. I had already contracted with our painting crew to seal up and replaster the notches and holes made in the course of the work, so I didn't need KB to handle that part of the job. If KB does do the plastering, it would have been an additional charge. I have no doubt that had I needed them to do the plastering, they would have done a beautiful job. It is a pleasure to recommend KB Electric for any electrical job you may have. They have added tremendous value to my house and the whole experience was a pleasure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, KB Electric! read more

I was a little disappointed in the service I received. Technically, DIDN'T receive. I went with KB Electric because for an emergency visit, they came out promptly and solved the problem quickly. I was happy with the service so wanted to request their services again for a bigger project. I scheduled an appointment for a Saturday morning and they were a no show. I called the office and left a message but the office was closed. It wasn't until the end of the day that the technician called me to apologize saying that he was held up with another job. He asked that I call the office that Monday to reschedule. Which I did. The office apologized and rescheduled me for the next Saturday. When the time came, they were a no show AGAIN. I called the office and this time, I spoke with someone in the office (Jasmine) and she apologized for the confusion. At that point, I didn't want to bother hiring them for my services so I opted not to be rescheduled again. I also never received a call from the technician or the owner to apologize for the 2 No Shows. The Monday after the 2nd no show, I received a "rescheduling" call from someone named Joel asking to reschedule for another visit. No apology or any acknowledgement of the mix up and he left a message as if this was just a routine rescheduling call. Not even 2 weeks after the 2nd incident, I received ANOTHER "rescheduling" call from Joel asking to contact the office to reschedule. I thought that was in poor taste. They should have taken me off the list of return calls. Again, never received a call from the owner or anyone in charge of the business to apologize for the mix up. That only shows the lack of communication between the office and the field technicians as well as the scheduling office. Others may have had a better experience but we didn't. read more

KB Electric, Bloomfield, NJ does excellent work, has superb customer relations and is totally committed to improving the lives of its customers. They were instrumental in enabling our grand son to come from the hospital when he was ready, when other contractors could not. Our son and daughter-in-law's premature baby had been in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for seven months when they were told that the baby could come home in eight to ten weeks if the house was properly electrically equipped to support a ventilator and related equipment. This would involve upgrading the electrical board, adding a 20-amp line to the baby's room, and adding a generator that would automatically provide electricity if the power went off. We took on the task of managing this project as our son and daughter-in-law had temporarily relocated to Philadelphia to be near the NICU. We are located almost two hours away. We reached out to many generator contractors and were told that the project would take six to ten months and that they would not shorten that time frame to accommodate our important situation. Then we met with the project manager at KB Electric who committed to finish the job within a ten-week time frame! His team of Henry, Joe and Alicia got the permits, completed the extensive electrical work and generator installation and had the gas company and town inspections within the promised ten-week time frame! The KB team was in constant communication with us saving us from a lot of extra two-hour commutes. The following week our grand son came home with his parents who had not been home for many months. KB Electric cared enough to make this happen, when other contractors did not. Our family will be forever gratefully for KB Electric's commitment to excellence and caring. Mike C read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Egan and Orlando, and I can't express enough how grateful I am for their exceptional service. After being let down by a previous contractor who caused significant delays and stress, I was desperate to find someone reliable to complete the electrical work on my mother's home. That's when I found KB Electric. It was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment I contacted KB Electric, they were responsive, professional, and understanding of my situation. They quickly scheduled an initial consultation, listened carefully to my concerns, and provided a clear plan to get the project back on track. Unlike my previous experience, Egan and Orlando were prompt and respectful of my time, always arriving as scheduled and completing tasks efficiently. Egan's and Orlando's expertise and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the work they did. They ensured all wiring, outlets, and fixtures were installed correctly and safely, keeping me informed throughout the process. Egan, Orlando, and KB not only met my expectations but exceeded them by going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. What impressed me the most was their dedication to customer satisfaction. They took ownership of the project, worked diligently to meet the deadline, and made sure I was happy with the results. I am happy to have found contractors who genuinely care about their clients' needs. If you're looking for electricians who are reliable, skilled, and efficient, I wholeheartedly recommend Egan and Orlando. They turned a frustrating experience into a positive one, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you, Egan and Orlando, for your outstanding work and for making my mother's home safe and functional again! read more

We moved to the area the end of the summer and have used KB exclusively. They came highly recommended from our broker and they have not disappointed. Their work is very high quality and they are extremely dependable. They've come for a few small jobs (including knob and tube inspection and fixture installation) and finished all on time and done really well. But the main work was extensive electrical work before we moved in--installing overhead lights, outlets, grounding outlets and a punch list of items from our inspection. I had no idea how much I wanted done until I walked through with them. I can't stress enough how great a job they did. Ramiero led a team through almost a week of work. He's thorough, meticulous, courteous, responsive and just all around trustworthy and great. Because we weren't moved in at the time, we had to defer a lot of aesthetic calls to him--everything was on point. He listened carefully when we did an initial walkthrough of the work, and used that input from me to guide his work. Everything was perfect. He also had to coordinate substantially with our painters, and he made what could have been a nightmare totally painless and easy. I also had Larry out for another job and he was dependable and professional. I don't have a frame of reference for cost, but I couldn't be more satisfied with their work. They are very transparent on cost but also are reasonable. I never had any concern that I was getting anything less than good value. KB all the way!!! read more

KB Electric did a great job on our home electricals! The main crew who did the work for us, Joe P., Ricky, Joe, and Victor, were very professional and went out of their way to be very helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. The whole experience from initial inspection through project completion was excellent. We had to have knob and tube remediation done, an electrical panel upgrade, generator outlet and interlock kit installations, and we also got some other lights, switches and receptacles updated/installed while the KB crew was here. This was very convenient because while they were here getting rid of the old knob and tube wiring, were able to ask them about other electrical things we needed to repair and replace, and they were very helpful about coming up with solutions for best ways to go about correcting/approaching things. Also, when we had questions about any logistical or billing matters, KB always provided great office support from Alicia, with phone calls immediately answered or returned very quickly. This project took several weeks to complete because of the scale of the work involved and we are very impressed with how well this business and team were able to provide such consistent top quality service. We are big fans of KB Electric, and they'll be the ones we call when we have more electrical work in future. read more

Gerri H. KB provided outstanding service. Alicia and Jasmin, the office staff, were pleasant and friendly. They arranged the appointments in a timely manner. Rich, who did the estimate, was very thorough. He investigated my microwave outlet and ceiling light fixture with precision regarding safety as both areas were recently soaked with water. He changed the outlet and checked the microwave and advised it was unsafe to use. The light fixture was OK. Ramiro, the electrician, is a first-rate professional who did his work with high standards. He initially acknowledged me, the customer, by introducing himself. He listened attentively to my questions related to my electrical needs and answered each one clearly. He made efficient use of his time by having all the tools that he needed organized and within easy reach. He was conscientious about protecting nearby furniture and the floor beneath the work area. He placed a covering over both of them. He worked safely and took measures to minimize the danger of injury. Specifically, he shut off the circuit to the related work area and wore protective goggles. He cleaned the floor of the debris after finishing his work. I have used KB since 2011. I highly recommend them. read more

Recently, I encountered a troubling issue with my home's wiring, and I couldn't have been more relieved to find Egan and Orlando from [Electrician Company]. Their expertise and professionalism were truly top-notch! From the moment they arrived, they wasted no time in troubleshooting the problem and swiftly correcting it. Their efficiency and skill were remarkable, and I was impressed by how quickly they were able to resolve the issue without sacrificing quality. Moreover, their customer service was exceptional. They took the time to explain the problem and the steps they were taking to fix it, ensuring that I was kept informed every step of the way. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to answer all of my questions put me at ease during what could have been a stressful situation. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Egan and Orlando and the entire KB team. Their dedication to their craft and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of electrical services. Thank you, Egan and Orlando, for your outstanding work! read more

KB Electric provided an exemplary service experience from start to finish. The entire team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction. They were accommodating, seamlessly coordinating with my schedule to ensure a smooth and efficient process. Hector, who installed an electric vehicle charger in my garage, performed the work with exceptional skill and attention to detail. He not only completed the installation to the highest standard but also left the garage cleaner and more organized than before. His commitment to quality was evident throughout the project. KB Electric's service extended beyond the installation, with continued support after the job was completed and payment was processed. The value provided far exceeded the cost, reflecting their commitment to delivering outstanding results. I highly recommend KB Electric for any electrical needs. Their professionalism, quality workmanship, and customer-focused approach make them an excellent choice. Thank you, KB Electric, and particularly Hector, for an outstanding experience. read more

I've been an extremely satisfied KB Electric client for over four years. Although I'm not in the construction business, I come from a construction family, and so I'm very familiar with basic building/remodeling/contractor issues. In my opinion, KB is that rare outfit that is truly committed to doing the job right--the first time. Their technicians are not only super-knowledgeable about electrical issues, but also possess versatile general contracting skills. I'd like to particularly mention Henry, who is just fantastic. Where do I begin....He's super-capable, super-friendly, and genuinely regards his trade as an art. The company's front office is similarly wonderful, particularly Alisha. Although ongoing electrical projects in my one-bedroom apartment are modest in scope, especially compared to those of multi-million dollar Montclair homes, Alisha has always treated me as if I was KB's largest client. As such, Alisha's patience and professionalism are among the biggest reasons why I only choose KB to perform my electrical projects. read more

KB Electric is GREAT!!!!! Alicia is FANTASTIC! She keeps that business running and in order. Alicia is courteous, professional and has great knowledge of what needs to be done on jobs. She knows the electricians and their work. She knows their strong points and she knows exactly who to send out on jobs. She knows which staff works best with which type of client because interaction is just as important as the work. Alicia is great with slotting appointments and really works hard to move staff around to meet the client's schedule. It is also impressive that Alicia knows her clients by name. KB electric works all over the area and they have a lot of clients so for Alicia to remember names and addresses of jobs off the top of her head is impressive. The electricians and the administrative staff at KB electric are exceptional. The owner, Keith, should feel fortunate that he has Alicia to keep the business running on all cylinders and keeping clients satisfied. read more

We've been using KB Electric for many years and have always had great experiences. We've used many electricians in the area and have always come back to KB. We recently had a short circuit in a new line installed by another electrician and i was concerned that it would take a long time to get it fixed. Ramiro arrived the next morning exactly as scheduled. He was extremely friendly, professional, thorough, and efficient. He made sure he tested every light and outlet on the circuit. He tackled the most likely causes first and within 30 minutes had determined the problem. He took the time to show me the receptacle where the short occurred and the most likely cause and explained how he would correct it so it didn't happen again. When he was finished with the very minor repair needed I saw him take the time to wipe the small amount of dust that had fallen on the baseboard. He was all finished in less than an hour! read more

Ramiro of KB Electric responded to a partial power outage in my apartment and was the consummate professional. Despite it being a holiday weekend, he was punctual and pleasant and very motivated to solve the problem. I was impressed with his work as a diagnostician, thoroughly asking questions, inspecting my unit, breaker boards, outlets, and the basement. He was very attuned to both practical and safety issues. He was very respectful of my home and patient when things needed to be moved around so that he could gain access to different things. He explained what he was doing, but also allowed me to continue with my day so his presence was clear but not intrusive. I typically find workmen in the home stressful, but not with Ramiro. I enjoyed working with him, trusted his judgment and expertise, and after a very thorough investigation he solved the problem. Very professional and great customer service. read more

We are 100% satisfied with KB Electric! From the initial estimate to today's final inspection everything is perfect and up to code. The terrific crew - Joe P., Victor, Ricky, and Joe Mc. are true professionals. They worked at our house for 1 month removing our antiquated knob and tube and rewiring the entire house to current standards. The crew was always on time, polite young men, professional, and focused on the task at hand. They cleaned up at the end of every day to make sure our family was safe from debris, dust, and equipment. In addition to the knob and tube, the crew installed 9 fixtures, a ceiling/light fan and very cool wireless light switches. Alicia, the office manager, is wonderful!! She's super efficient, friendly, sent invoices and reminders, and is very professional at all times. We highly recommend KB Electric and will stay loyal to this company. There's no reason to look elsewhere. read more

We hired KB Electric for electrical work in our 97-year-old house and could not be happier with the service and quality of work. Richie came and gave us an estimate during the home inspection period and was incredibly helpful and friendly. He then came back to do the work, along with Tim, and both technicians were experts at their craft. As if the quality of work wasn't enough, the service at KB Electric is top notch. We dealt with Alicia every step of the way and she was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, responding promptly to all our queries (which were many, as we are first time home owners!) and scheduling requests, and somehow finding a way to make everything work within our scheduling needs. To top it all off, she was incredibly kind, friendly, and considerate with every correspondence. Thank you, KB Electric! read more

I am so pleased with the high quality of the electrical work completed by KB Electric. Hector & Marlon were on time, put down plastic and drop clothes and went right to work. They were awesome and everything was completed as stated in the work order. They finished the job and actually used a dry vac to clean up and removed all trash related to their work. They asked us test the work to make certain we were fully satisfied before the left the job site. I would highly recommend KB Electric and would without hesitation request Hector & Marlon. I can assure KB Electric that any and all of my future electrical needs will be completed by them and I will request Hector and Marlin to complete the work. I will also state that the job was reasonable priced. One thousand percent satisfied. read more

Called KB on Memorial Day to install a socket for an air conditioner and received a phone call first thing the next AM. They had 2 electricians available for an estimate at 11. I received another phone call shortly thereafter saying their men were able to come right over. Andrew & Joe arrived with smiles on their faces ready to help solve my problem. After accessing the situation they were confident they could do the work I was hoping that would solve my dilemma. I felt very confident that they knew what they were doing and had them proceed. Within 2 hours my house was cooling off with my new outlet for my air conditioner. I highly recommend asking for these 2 pros as they were proficient, neat & very accurate with their work...and as well are 2 really nice guys!!! Stacey read more

For over 33 years, the light atop a nearby outdoor wooden lamppost cast its glow. Several months ago the light stopped working after a storm damaged the fixture. After KB Electric replaced the fixture, several attempts to restore light did not work. Since the source of the problem seemed to be the power source it was decided to replace the fixture with a solar lantern. Thanks to the persistence and expertise of Alicia, Jasmine and Larry, the solar lantern casts an attractive glow when it goes on at dusk until it goes off at dawn. In addition, KB will provide whatever service is needed in the future to keep the solar lantern working. I have been a customer of KB Electric for several years and always appreciate their timeliness and insight into my electrical problems. read more

I needed to have a 50 amp line run for a new range + install a light fixture. Hector, Jamal & Otas did the work. They did the work efficiently & very neatly, and cleaned up when they were done. After they installed the new outlet for the range, I asked if they could recess it more since the range had to sit flush against the wall, & they accomodated my request. Hectror was in charge & had to leave for part of the time for an inspection at another location, however, he reviewed the work with Jamal & Otas & left instructions. We were very satisfied with the work, & the guys were friendly, polite, explained what they were going to do & were very professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending KB Electric to family & friends. read more
