My first one star review. Steve damaged my home, misrepresented his skill set, and installed things crookedly, and not up to code. I had to hire another company to correct his work and repair the damage to my house. Like the previous Yelper, I don't know where his reviews came from. It was a horrendous experience and my home suffered for it. I agree, Beware! read more

Steve is efficient and skilled. After some electrical forensics he installed four ceiling lights in less than an hour. 6 month warranty and yelp discount are a plus. Communication - A Flexibility - A Quality of Work - A Speed - A I'll be taking advantage of his services in the future. read more

Found Steve here on Yelp, (for which he gave me a 5% discount........nice!). I turned on the kitchen light Thursday morning and the switch sparked and blew out the lights and fan. Steve came out that afternoon, solved the problem and even installed a new light fixture in the basement that my husband has been promising to install for 3 months, all within the one hour that he charged for. Very nice man, very professional, and VERY knowledgeable. Our house is over 100 years old so he is going to get an estimate to me for all of the issues we are having. So thrilled to have found an electrician who I can trust, who will show up, and whose fees are reasonable. read more

Found Steve on here and had him come out to do some projects around the house that our inspection brought to our attention. He was very courteous, timely, and didn't try to upsell anything. He gave me good options and explanations as he was going through the initial estimate. There were a couple of items that he wasn't able to repair as planned, which was fine, but I would've appreciated him at least giving me a new estimate as to what the additional costs would've been. I may still call him back for the additional work, just would've been convenient to have the estimate done when he was already at the house. Overall, I'd highly recommend him. Great customer service, did a basic clean up after he was completed, and updated/installed items nicely. read more

I called The Connection Electrical and left a message. It took Steve a week to call me back. We set up an appointment so he could check out the electrical system of the house. I was going to go with whatever recommendation that Steve suggested. This job could have been worth thousands to this knuclehead. Steve was a no call, no show on the day of our appointment, and he does not return calls. I don't know where the good reviews of this company came from.....they probably wrote it themselves. This company has cost me time and money....Buyer Beware!!!!! read more

I am pretty happy with the job Steve did. I moved into this house in the fall, and there were a number of electrical irregularities. I also wanted to add an outlet and light outside, and change all the 2-prong outlets to 3-prong. So made a list and kept adding to it for a while, and then called The Connection and Steve came over and listened to my long list. He seemed to know his way through the permit process in order to have the least amount of worries possible. He is also a friendly guy and everything he did looks good and works well. We had some issues with the hair dryer in the bathroom, and he fixed it, and did everything possible to make sure it didn't happen again, and it hasn't. I think I got a fair price, though I am glad I used the coupon from Angie's List. If I have anything else pop up, I'll be sure to call him again. read more

Steve came out to my house a few days ago to fix a short list of problems we were having. He was very professional and courteous. Steve was here for about 2 1/2 hours and was able to assemble and install a ceiling fan, remove a fan from a different room and put an already assembled one there, upgrade several outlets from two prong to three prong, change out a broken light switch for a third ceiling fan, look at my main electrical box to see if everything looked okay in there, and adjust our doorbell (including testing the output of the transformer) to work better. He was polite and conscientious of our home (including offering to take his shoes off in our home and switching into a dry "inside" pair). He also gave me advice on what kind of light bulbs to use in a chandelier to make it look even better. Also, he angled the lights of one of the ceiling fans so that it lit up a picture on the wall. It was a nice detailed touch that I didn't think he had to do, but showed that he obviously cares about his customers having a nice looking end product. I would definitely recommend having Steve be your new electrician! I will definitely call him again if I have any other electrical needs. Also, he gives a discount to new customers who have found him on Yelp! It saved me about $15 dollars which I will take any day of the week! read more

Very pleased! I called Steve to explain my situation and he was extremely friendly form the beginning. I always get nervous calling professionals because I never can really explain what I want done. Steve had no problem sitting on the phone with me as I tried to explain my situation. We talked for a good 15 minutes and I felt like he would have talked for another 15. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. While on the phone he gave me the "best case" cost and the "worst case" cost. Gotta love that... So we talked on a Thursday and he came out on that Saturday. Funny thing is, I called two other companies that same Thursday and have yet to hear back from them (1 week later). So needless to say, I would definitely recommend using Steve. read more

Steve came and fixed my issues in a little under an hour. He was prompt, courteous, and affordable. I'll call him again next time I need electrical assistance. read more

Thank you, Yelp, for leading us to Steve. He is wonderful to work with: smart when dealing with glitches in projects, efficient with time and personable. Genuinely interested in problems and solutions as well as giving us pointers in general about lighting and basics about wiring, etc. He set to work on some fan and lighting installations and helped us find solutions for some problems we had with wiring. I'm so happy I found someone I trust to do any work in the future. It's a great thing. read more

Steve is great! He returned my call promptly, gave me an estimate for the work to be done, arrived on time and completed the job all within a week! I highly recommend him and will hire him again. He'll now be my go-to electrician! read more

I called Steve at noon and he was on location about an hour later! He gave me a reasonable quote over the phone, which was great. I had electrical problems with a bathroom vanity in my rental property and he fixed it in less than an hour. He was nice, professional, and worked very quickly to get my issue resolved. He also included a 6 month warranty for his work!!! I will definitely call him when I need any electrical work done. read more

Called Steve Thursday, came out gave me an estimate on Friday, did the work Monday. Installed chandelier in DR, replaced kitchen fixture (and rewired, "light fixture and wires burnt out"), replaced two outlets, and one switch. Took two and half hours, arrived on time, gave me advice. Steve was very patient and calm, gave me choices and followed up by telling me what was wrong. I will absolutely call him again when needed. Estimate was $285, that is how much I paid when work was done. Estimate from other electrician who came by was $620. Thank you Steve read more

I had an old fuse box replaced and it was an all around great experience. Steve explained the whole process and completed the job quickly and took extra care to require as little patching as possible. He got it done in less time than anticipated and for slightly less than his estimate! Highly recommended. read more

When I called Steve the building engineer of my condo building had shut off the main power to our unit because he had no idea what was going on and how to fix it. So, in the dark, and with the help of my smart phone I found Connection. Steve called me back after 9 pm because he felt bad we were sitting in the dark :) He was able to diagnose the issue over the phone, and was here the next day to take care of it. He was nice, thorough and informative. He made sure I understood the problem, not just fix it and leave. I know am one of those people who "has an electrician", and can't wait to refer him to friends in need! read more

Steve is the best. He responded promptly to my request to install a new outlet in my kitchen. Completed the job with minimum disruption or dirt. He even came back and lowered the outlet for me a few days later when I discovered it was not the right height for my table. He did that for free. What more do you want? Steve get's the highest rating from me and I'd definitely use him again. read more

YES! We now have an electrician! I had an emergency electrician need (power to my home business was on the fritz) and I called five electricians some from Yelp searches, some from google searches. Steve was THE ONLY one to answer the phone. Took two days to hear from three of the other four (still haven't heard from the last guy). Steve showed up EXACTLY when he said he was going to, quickly hunted down the problem (problems) with my electric situation and worked quickly to fix it. We ran into some immovable issues so he gave me other temporary options that work well. His price was fair and his service was professional and friendly. We've made a wish-list of electrician needs over the years that we have put off and put off (microwave popping circuit breaker, need more outlets in the basement, need two prong outlets changed to three prong, etc, etc, etc) and finally feel comfortable with an electrician to actually have the work done. I look forward to hiring Steve more in the future. read more

Steve was great; gave me a quote in advance to install my two ceiling fans. He showed up on time and quickly installed the first fan despite som complications. It ended up that he didn't need to install the second ceiling fan, because he was able to fix the existing fixture, so he only charged me for the one fan. And he guarantees his work for six months. Highly recommended. read more

I couldn't be happier with the quick, professional and affordable job Steve did. He replaced some old track lighting with 6 recessed lights, changed out all of the cans in all the other recessed lights in my home with nice new ones, fixed all of my smoke detectors, fixed the switch to my garbage disposal, and fixed a lighting fixture, all in one day and at a good price. He even came out a week earlier (for free!) for a consultation regarding what kinds of lights and bulbs to use, and to prepare an estimate. I will definitely be calling Steve with all electrical needs in the future!!! Highly recommended. read more

Steve was professional, knowledgeable, punctual, efficient and courteous. We highly recommend him, as he installed our ceiling lights and helped us out with some of our questions as well. In the future, we won't hesitate to have Steve come and work for us again, as you get high quality service for a very reasonable price. read more

Steve did a great job with a complicated issue that involved the city, com ed, and neighbors. He made sure everything was in order and got the permitting through to get it done. He was a big help with dealing with com ed for us. When everything was approved he did the job quick and well. read more

I called Steve on the recommendation of a friend, he returned my call in a reasonable amount of time and came to give us a quote on updating the electrical in our 1930's home that we recently purchased. I hired him to do the job of re-wiring the house from cloth to new wire, and wiring and lighting the basement remodel. He got the permit, showed up on time, and the guys he brought to work with him were good, friendly, hard workers. Steve has a deep knowledge of electrical workings that I can barely comprehend, which sometimes seemed like a language barrier, but over all I think he did a great job with the house. Fortunately once they got into the wiring it turned out to be not as big of a mess as we were thinking it was going to be. Steve and his two guys completed the job in under a week, which was great! The house feels really safe now, and we can move on with the remodel. If you are looking to hire electricians for this kind of job I would definitely hire the Connection Electrical for his skills and knowledge. one thing: be prepared for a huge mess- Steve and his guys don't clean up or attempt to contain any mess, which may or may not be an issue for you. read more

Outstanding! I called Steve on a Monday morning to take care of my aged Aunt and Uncle, and he did. They are in their 80's, independent, but a fuse went, old fashioned fusebox, screw-in fuses, not breakers. We tried to fix with new fuse, but no joy. That was Sunday, half the lights in the house were out. I spoke with Steve on the phone, first thing Monday, he gave me an estimate over the phone, and an opinion/advice as to what the problem was (which is exactly what it was), and was able to visit the same day working around my aunt/uncle's schedule. He charmed them completely, fixed everything in record time, checked to see it all worked, and took the time to explain exactly what the situation was. They loved that he took the time, and made sure they understood everything. Can't say enough of good about him. And he called me after the visit to let me know what he had done as well, so great follow-up customer service. I am very protective of my aunt/uncle, I wouldn't trust just anyone with them. I recommend him highly. THE go-to guy for any future work. read more
