Romero and Chris installed three new lights, a new thermostat, and upgraded outlets in our house that was built in 1897. Our wiring is old and tricky. I was impressed by how they were able to move a ceiling light and install a new hallway sconce with cutting the tiniest holes to route the new wiring. I really appreciated Romero's eye for detail, workmanship, and excellent communication every step of the way. read more

We moved into our home last summer and hired a different company to remove knob & tube. Based on today's visit by Ramiro @ KB Electric we should have hired KB Electric. Ramiro solved our issue in a matter of minutes and provided a clear explanation of what had gone wrong (wear and tear), and took steps to make sure that we didn't run into a similar issue in the future. Ramiro was forthcoming in offering clear, indispensable advice and, additionally, was very nice! He arrived wearing a mask and took all the appropriate safety precautions. Ramiro provided absolutely stellar service, and he and KB Electric will absolutely be the first people we call in the future when we run into electrical issues. There's a reason that this company is rated so highly. Thank you, Ramiro! read more

We've used KB for a number of projects around the house. They are knowledgeable, efficient and cost effective. We just had under cabinet lighting go out and they were available next day to help us with our issue. Henry came in and diagnosed the issue (and also fixed a second light that had not worked since we bought the house). Quick trip to Home Depot, and now we have two working lights in slightly more than an hour of work time. As always, great service. read more

Just had an appointment with Darwin and Nick and they were terrific! Called to let me know they were on their way over and showed up on time, at the beginning of the appointment window. They split a line to create two GFCI outlets, and also installed a full-home surge protector. They were efficient, neat, and worked without a lot of noise (no small thing...I have had folks working in my house yelling from the basement to the first floor and also people who created great messes as they worked). they patiently explained their work as well. I would highly recommend them and K B. read more

Called the office and they were so accommodating with the scheduling. Super professional! Henry came to service my new home and did a fantastic job. He not only performed an inspection but he also made on the spot fixes and cleaned up after ! He also provided thoughtful recommendations for future work on the house. read more

I had no heat or electricity in half my house on Sunday. Richie came within an hour of my call Monday morning, diagnozed the problem, and fixed it. I would recommend them to my neighbors. read more

I'll use KB every time. Frank came to install an outlet and a doorbell. He also fixed a bad switch and removed an old mysterious backyard wire. He did all the work quickly. He was friendly and explained what he was doing. Great work, fair price. read more

I asked for an estimate to install my ring doorbell and flood lights and was told it would be 1-2.5 hours max. I explained the house was old, did my research and got a WiFi range extender like suggested and used this company from a recommendation from the citizens of Bloomfield group. The installation was as estimated and the two electricians were knowledgeable but they couldn't get it to work consistently so they had to contact the help line and what followed was the electrician's saying it's not my work and ring was well it's not our product so it took another 2 or so hours to finally get it to work. And the bill for this was $400 more than the estimate. I wanted a professional to get this done the right way but I should not have to pay for you needing help from customer service. And the sad part is that it all came down to them flipping off the breaker for a full minute and switching it back on. My heart is sad right now. read more

Ramiro and Daniel were at our home all day replacing 3 light fixtures, installing several new toggle switches and 2 sets of smart switches throughout our home. They did an amazing job especially given all of the old original 1920s wiring which they fixed and made sure was to code. They were extremely professional and communicative - explaining things along the way. They also did a very thorough cleaning of their workspaces. We trust KB for all of our electrical work in our home. read more

That are Ok..no shoe protection. But fixed the issues. Charged for 1.75 hrs but worked only 1.5 hrs.

KB Electric is the top of the line in service, always. I spoke with Karen at the office yesterday and she gave me an appointment for next week. About an hour later she called back to say that she could send someone in an hour. Ramiro and Edward came to my house and were professional, tidy and charming! Another great KB experience. Thank you! read more

Excellent detailed service and final results on a somewhat complex lighting job. Put in a wireless system as well as manual switches and all works great. Henry who was the foreman on the project was knowledgeable , flexible, and made sure things were done right and working. I'll use them again anytime. read more

Love these guys! Very professional and reasonable. Very happy with the quality of work and ease of explaining to me what the issues were.

Guy took over three hours to diagnose problem. Had assistant install outlets while he couldn't figure out what was wrong with the one that wasn't working. Starting running new wire and the got it working cost over $700. Wouldn't use them again. read more

I'm impressed with KB Electric, from the cordial confirmation calls to the skilled service. Ramiro and Michael fixed our chandelier on a snowy Tuesday. Great job. #Iseethelight #gratitude #technique read more

I can't say enough about KB Electric and especially the team they sent me, Egan, Chris, Darwin and Von. They took on an entire knob and tube remediation less than two weeks before our house closing. This team explained everything every step of the way, kept the house clean and most importantly finished within my time frame. They worked in the boiling heat with the electric a/c turned off. Their price was the best as well. Our town inspector could not believe how good a job they did. Thank you so much!!!! read more

We knew when we moved into our new home that we had several electrical issues that would need to be addressed. KB Electric was the first to respond to my inquiry and sent out an assessor to gauge the job. What I really appreciated about the assessor was that he listened to what my concerns were and took note of the items I listed, but didn't try to sell me on any extra changes (unless it was a safety issue). We were surprised by how quickly our project was booked...Henry and his crew of two came for a full day to repair all of our items. They were very friendly and also patient when we asked a lot of questions. While fixing the requested problems, he and the crew unearthed old knob and tube wiring on a few of our outlets and walked us through what it would take to fix that. Absolutely no pressure from him to make a decision then and there. He outlined the procedure to fix it and gave a rough time/cost for repair and then recommended we think on it and call if we wanted it done. Very happy with the current repairs and very happy with the advice for the future. read more

Great service for electrical work and reasonable price. Responded to the request in a timely manner. Highly recommend.

KB remediated the knob and tube in my ca. 1886 home. The teams were fast and professional. They did a great job of minimizing the size of the holes in my plaster walls. When they had questions they asked our opinion, so I got exactly what I wanted. I hired them to patch as well and they did a good job. They then swiffered and washed my wood floors when they were done! Very impressive. The only reason that this is not a 5 star review is that they did manage to add a number of fairly sizable and deep scratches to my relatively newly refinished wood floors. Overall great, professional job. read more

KB electric, to their credit, replaced our thermostat on short notice on a Saturday morning. The gentleman who came out was courteous and highly professional. What I was not aware of was the the item itself (a off-the-shelf basic Honeywell thermostat) was subject to a 30% mark-up by KB. When I took issue with this I was told that anywhere from 30-60% mark-up was standard practice. Perhaps this is so, but, as a consumer, be aware that this will happen should you ask your contractor to purchase an item and do not expect this to be disclosed to you when the work is quoted. read more

We have used KB Electric for years at our West Orange home. We needed a lot of work done at our house as it needed many electrical upgrades. From dealing with the office, Alicia is always friendly, fast and courteous. She schedules us in right away and makes appoints sometimes in the same day! We called KB recently to update our exterior outlets. Mark came over in the same day, troubleshooted the problem and made the necessary repairs. He saved us money and explained every step in his work. I would definitely recommend KB Electric to anyone who is looking for honest, reliable and knowledgeable electricians. Their rates are very fair for the work that is being performed. We will always continue to use them for our home. Thanks KB! read more

Henry was excellent, prompt, courteous and neat! Installed 3 Porch lites and basement lites. He also was able to solve any problem that came up, and seemed to have an endless supply of any parts that were needed or not included in the new fixtures. Kept me informed every step of the way! Very professional ! read more

Saw the signs everywhere so we trusted them. They showed up on time but weren't nice. Wanted $550 to change two electric outlets. Charged us $130 for the visit. Then they called us EVERY DAY for their $130. We paid them. Still they call EVERY DAY. Clearly not focused on our needs. Only focused on billing. Do NOT recommend Them. read more

This company has the best customer service! They were quick to respond to calls and messages and gave a call a day prior confirming the appointment. Also, the tech, Henry was amazing. I had a problem with my garage that will eventually be a very big project. Henry could have easily said "Have a nice day, this is really all I can do" - but instead he worked towards a fix and explained everything he was doing. Highly recommend this company not only for the service but the very fair pricing as well. Thank you KB! read more

Excellent! Very happy with the work Ralph and Sam did at my house. They were super friendly, super fast, did a nice neat job and cleaned up after themselves. Will definitely hire again. read more

Today's job was challenging and I am happy with the price and the results. Von communicates well and is a skilled problem solver who wants clients to be satisfied. He is not interested in cutting corners and is patient and well-organized. read more

Awesome service!!!! Henry was knowledgeable, thorough and didn't leave a mess!! Pricing was also reasonable. I highly recommend!

I called to get one 'peace of mind' job done: a plumber left me with an electrical condition that I was not happy with. He said it was fine, but my overall dissatisfaction with him left me doubtful, and I was losing sleep over it. I told the KB office person that this was just a quick job, send one guy, might take an hour. With the bad experience of that plumber in my mind, I was anxious about another overpriced and less than quality tradesman in my home. From the minute Ramiro walked in my door, I was at ease. Everything safe, neat, with no shortcuts. With the junction box open anyway, I asked it this was a good time to add another outlet. No problem. Then a kitchen light issue: no problem. Quick look at another switch? No problem. Long story short: like any house, there are little things that come up over time. I already told Ramiro that I would be seeing him in the summer for other work. Who looks forward to seeing their electrician? If KB hires and keeps this kind of tradesman, they must be doing something right. read more

Henry came to our home twice already. He is very quick and professional. Whenever we need any electrical work done we will request Henry and always call KB Electric. read more

Woke up to discover that furnace wasn't working because of an electrical problem. Called KB and an electrician named Orlando arrived within an hour. He was friendly and explained everything he did. He diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. He even fixed two other small, unrelated electrical problems that we were dealing with. He was in and out and we were left to enjoy our Saturday. I would definitely call KB again and recommend them to others. They're probably all great but I'll ask for Orlando again. read more

A very basic job, only required splicing some wires, but after over two weeks wait, the man who showed up only wanted give me an estimate and was reluctant to do the work. He wanted to splice wires where it wasn't necessary and add convenience parts that weren't necessary. After several discussions he gradually did the work as I had expected, but left the appliance doors dirty, which required cleanup that shouldn't have been necessary either. Not meticulous. He drilled holes for screw heads that didn't line up. I called the office, but the office manager quickly started talking over me and invalidating my experience when a simple apology would've sufficed. I will not use them again. read more

The service was excellent but the price was very steep. Called around 4 pm and the electrican was there a little after 6:30 pm. Needed to change a switch which was done quickly. Price was over 3 times the service charge. read more

Ramiro did a great job explaining everything and installing our dryer outlet.

I was really pleased with Henry's work today. Faced with a fluorescent light fixture that wouldn't work, Henry methodically diagnosed the problem, walking me through the steps along the way, fixed it quickly (he wisely keeps some basic parts in his truck), and was friendly and professional along the way. I would gladly have Henry and KB do more work on my home. read more

Henry is the man! Quick service. Very knowledgeable. Easy to talk to and super helpful! Thanks again!

We've lived in Montclair NJ for over 20 years and finally decided to ensure all knob and tube was removed from our home. Egan and his team did a terrific job. Egan checked the entire house daily after the work was completed by the team and our inspection by the town was just completed with no issues. We expected the house to be a mess during the removal but were very surprised at how clean the working area was at the end of each day. Any holes in the wall were made with surgical precision and much smaller than we anticipated The team arrived on time each day and always wore masks while in our home. Everyone was very professional, from the initial scheduling and communication through completion of the work. Thank you Egan and KB Electric! read more

Had a couple of minor things that needed to be fixed at my home. Henry arrived and was quick to work and was helpful with making decisions. Very professional, highly recommended. read more

Showed up early, price was as estimated, service person took time to walk me through what he had done on new outdoor motion sensor light install, adjusted it to my request and was polite. I use KB every time and highly recommend them. read more

Our experience with KB was exceptional. This was due solely to the foreman handling our job - Egan and his team. Egan and team arrived on time each day at exactly 8 am. I work from home and he and his team were professional, respectful and quiet enabling me to work uninterrupted. He managed the job with military precision-keeping watch over each team member while constantly managing the job, teaching, and enforcing safety. They were very respectful to me and to my home - only making the smallest and fewest of holes within the scope of the job. They cleaned up each day so that you wouldn't even know that had been here. Our home is over 100 yrs old so this was no easy job. All of our knob and tube has been removed and replaced and updated. They even finished the job in less time than first estimated. I would recommend KB - especially Egan and his team (Paulie & others) to anyone needing electrical work. This was the Best experience we have had in our twenty years of homeownership. Thank You so much. read more

Great experience from scheduling the appointment to completion of repair work. The technician - Richie - was on-time, courteous, and efficient. Very fair and reasonable cost. I will call KB for future work. read more
