SAFT is the best. We had a problem with meter bank. They responded in an hour. We are in the Town of Poughkeepsie. Everything had to be replaced. A fire hazard if not replaced. They kept our electric on for 12 families while waiting for parts. As you can see in the photos, a beautiful job. Can't say enough good about this company. read more

Dealing with John for electric needs has been a gift from the heavens! He helped us through our home needs and because he has been so reliable, we also used him to help with our electrical issue at our business. He solved that quickly and efficiently! I wish all companies were as good as Saft ! Thank you! read more

Wow! I found this local company on Yelp when I needed help with an electrical issue at my home. They were so responsive, professional, courteous, helpful and friendly. Maybe the best customer service I've ever received from a contractor. The Best! Thank you John and Steve! read more

So I'll start out this review by saying I picked this company because 1) they state they service the Hudson Valley and 2) they were the highest rated electricians on Yelp. Having said that, I'll be completely transparent in this long-winded story to explain why I rated them the way I did. The day before Christmas my lights began flickering whenever we turned on the microwave or the washing machine went on. It progressively got worse to the point where we had to call an electrician. I found Saft who said they service the Hudson Valley. They sent one of their electricians out who was able to see the problem but was unable to rectify the problem. He said my breaker was fine, there were no blown circuits, and all my wiring was tight. Then he handed my wife a bill for $416. Now I understand that he ran a test or two and he had to come out for a service call.... but $416 later he left my house with without identifying or fixing my electrical problem Cut to 10 days later when I lost all power in half of my house. I called them back and told them that I now had a larger problem. This time the owner drove out, spoke to me, and looked at my breaker box. He then realized that there was some issue with a device that splits half of the power in the breaker and that it needed to be replaced. I spoke to him about the fees and he explained to me that when they respond to any service call outside of 10 miles from their office they automatically charge $385. Inside of 10 miles is $150. My problem is NOWHERE on their website (that I've yet to find) does it state that and when I got the phone call to verify the first appointment from the owner himself, he also failed to tell me that I would be charged $385 just for them to drive to my residence. Had he told me this I would have told him never mind I will find another electrician closer. I ended up spending $1,000 at the end of the day and he told me that he would take off $100 off because of the first visit. That still means I paid $316 for them to come out and tell me "I don't know how to fix your problem". I was happy that the owner was able to figure out what my problem was and fix it in a timely manner, but I was not happy at all with the way the first service call went down. read more

I used them twice and both times, nothing but excellent service. Recently, Dan and JP were outstanding taking care of a problem we were having with our fuse box, and they will always help you out by looking for the most cost efficient solutions. Very trustworthy and appreciated. read more

5 stars all the way!!! I was trying to take apart a light fixture hanging over my kitchen island in order to clean it, the light fixture wound up blowing the circuit breaker and wouldn't go on. Called Saft immediately (I know when to call a professional!) John said he could sent someone in a couple of hours-same day!! He himself came out, called for a helper and very shortly had the whole problem RESOLVED!! AMAZING!! SAME DAY!! Saft has done several projects around my home-including the original wiring, and they are dependable and professional!!! No question, I will always call them for any electrical work I need-recommend without reservation!! read more

On 3/12/2024 We had an emergency. High winds cause a telephone pole to break in half and our service wirers were ripped off our House. We made many calls to different electricians and left many voice massages. We were feeling like we would not be able to get this problem fixed any time soon until we called Saft Electric. They call us right back. We sent them pictures and they came with in a half hour to help us. They assessed the issues and explained what needed to be done. They replace all the wires and the service meter and had us ready to be reconnected to the Pole. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. They were very Knowledgeable, Professional and there when we needed them the most. Thank you Saft Electric! read more

Great company and professional staff. I got back to my place and the main power breaker was shot. I called Staff Electric Monday morning, they picked up their phone right at 7:30am, and had my power back on by 11am. Reasonable pricing and knowledgeable employees. I'll be using this company for my electrical needs in the future. read more

An amazing experience of top notch service by a family run company. Real people to talk to, phone calls returned & quotes in a timely manner, materials & workers actually arrive on the date given & literally at the start of the work day, crews that really put in a full day of work-even in rain & snow, a partner who works with, as well as supervises his employees, & a company that treats the client with caring & respect. Totally unbelievable experience, in a world where a good many companies don't even answer their phones, let alone show up. And, yes we did call another company for an opinion as well. Right from the initial visit, the difference in level of knowledge was staggering & any supervisor involvement was literally phoned in. Absolutely, no comparison to Saft. read more

If I could give Saft Electrical Service more stars I would. We are building a new construction home but we using reclaimed 1850s logs. It's not a straight forward type of build. The logs are irreplaceable so it needed to be done right and on the first try. Electrical work is something we did not want to leave to amateurs. After asking around town Saft continued to come up as a recommendation. For years I have been trying to find a good electrician and it was like finding a needle in a haystack. Once I reached out to John Saft, he arrived for the initial appointment on time, took plenty of notes, and followed up with an estimate and date within 24 hours. His team was also very respectful, knowledgeable, tidy and did an excellent job. We were able to talk through scenarios as to not disturb the 1850s logs like running all the electrical in the cement slab before we poured it. We have since had Saft do other work for us. They will remain our go-to for all things electrical. I would strongly recommend Saft Electrical Service to anyone looking for quality work done by professionals. read more

Fast response for potentially dangerous situation. (My panel box was sparking.) Steve and Steve did a great job -- fast, efficient, expert work. Do not hesitate to call them. read more

All I can say, is I called and asked for an estimate on some light fixtures. I live close to the Watchtower complex and thought I'd look for an electrician in Pine Bush. The woman took my information and said they'd get back to me soon. Three weeks later... Forget about it. I'll use someone else. read more

I had an issue with a buried power line coming into my house from the pole. Power company had to shut me off because it was a potential hazard. It's January, 7PM, 15 degrees out and I have a well so need power to stay here or risk pipes bursting if not. Called John and he reshuffled his work load to come out the next morning. His guys, Matt & AJ arrived at 8 am 30 minutes earlier than promised. Using expensive testing equipment that very few residential electricians have, they identified where the the power line ran underground and then where the fault occurred. They were professional, helpful and efficient. Having the right equipment for the job is key and not many Electricians have this type of testing equipment. Combine that with professional employees and very responsive service you have a great company that I highly recommend. read more

I called this company yesterday for an issue I was having with my washing machine outlet. It just stopped working despite switching the outlet from a regular outlet to a GFCI outlet. We just couldn't figure it out. John, the owner, had an appointment scheduled for 8:30 the following morning (today) with Rob the electrician. Rob called me at 0730 and told me he could be here even earlier than anticipated! He showed up ready to work. He went upstairs and tested the outlet. There was power to it but no power to the neutral. He went to the circuit breaker and found the problem. A loose or non existant screw was preventing the neutral wire from connecting to the box. Simple fix. Put a screw in and all is right in the world. He was here 30 minutes. The cost was very reasonable. $140 for the site visit plus labor and supplies took me to $151. Glad it wasn't something major. read more

I have nothing but excellent things to say about Saft Electrical. They installed a Generator for me and taught me how to use it and checked on us after a bad storm to see if all is OK.

I would totally RECOMMEND THEM !!! Any questions please don't hesitate to reach out. read more

All I can say is that these are wonderful people to deal with. I reached out to five electricians to get a quote on replacing my 200 amp service panel that was recommended during a home inspection. Saft Electric was the only one that responded and provided me a fair quote in a timely fashion. If we need to change the panel for the sale, SAFT will be my go to! read more

We needed an emergency electrician yesterday for my in-laws in Montgomery. Within 90 minutes of my initial call, John had surveyed the problem, re-connected all electric and cable lines that were damaged, and had it inspected and approved. He sent me pictures of the progress, and in general, saved us from a really difficult situation. Couldn't be more grateful for his excellent work and top-notch customer service in this difficult time. Thanks John! read more

Saft Electrical's response time, service and professionalism is unparalleled. They answer their phone immediately and walk you through what could be an easy fix to your problem by phone before coming out to fix the issue (for free!). If a visit is needed, they come to your house right away and fix the issue quickly and at a reasonable charge. They explain the technical issue in understandable terms and help you understand what issues can be prevented and prepared for in the future. I cannot recommend thiamily-owned business more highly. read more

This is a long time coming. I would like to thank you for the kindness that you show to my aunt, when she was living alone in Pine Bush, New York. You provided services for her, but also went above and beyond when she was in need and actually gave her a generator to help her in case the lights went out. I recently found out who her guardian angels were. And then I found your name on the placemat of a local business when I visited. Thank you again for your kindness . read more

I cannot comment on actual work done. However I will comment on customer service. They were called twice I left two messages. Received call back two weeks later wanting to know if I still needed work done, and a gentleman named John will call me to set up estimate. One more week passes no phone call. I call and they say he will call take phone # again. With out phone call I get nock at door its John and he does estimate. I'm told I will receive email of estimate next day. I wait 3 days call about estimate verify email address with secretary, correct email on file. STILL NO ESTIMATE. I get it your busy or just don't want to do the job a simple curtesy call would be nice. read more

We recently moved into Pine Bush, NY and have several projects we need done. We contacted Saft for a quote on the installation of a whole house generator and they could not be bothered to ever get back to us at all. Not even a call saying they are too busy to take on such a project at this time. Nothing. We wouldn't recommend them to change a light bulb. read more
