We had an electrician come to diagnose arc fault issues. - The electrician reported that the issue was due to a particular AC using too much amperage. But when we unplug the AC - issues still persist. - The electrician claimed (without measuring anything) that the AC used 20A, but the label says 11.5A - The electrician ended by recommending I pay $5000 to upgrade the Amperage for the entire apartment I immediately called the office so they could send a different technician to re-evaluate. They stonewalled me, refused to re-evaluate the issue, or admit the absurdity of the issue First call cost $360 (already very expensive) and Colman refused to send anyone to reinspect the issue or issue a refund.

I saw that Elios had good reviews on Yelp so gave them a call to get an informed opinion. Matt is a master electrician who works as a team with Rachel who returned my call to set up an appointment the next day. She gave me a two hour window, but said that would be narrowed as they worked and she would keep me informed. Sure enough she texted approximate arrival time about an hour beforehand and then again when they were two minutes away. Matt went right to work and was very knowledgeable and informative about the knob and tube issue. While he was looking at the electrical panel he also identified some minor problems and quickly fixed them. I have had a difficult time finding a good electrician, but I think my search is over. Thank you Matt and Rachel for keeping me informed and being super competent and communicative.

Jim was the only electrician to return my call promptly and was at our home within an hour. He quickly diagnosed the problem and provided a temporary fix. Ultimately, he recommended and completed a full upgrade to a 200-amp service, including a new panel and extensive rewiring. He and his assistant Austin were professional, communicative, clean, and respectful--especially while we worked from home. The entire job took about a week and a half. We're very happy with the results and highly recommend JDO Electric for anyone needing reliable, high-quality electrical work.

Over 2 sessions he replaced all our primary room lights, including the dining space which required a new ceiling electrical installation.

He had recommended replacing something that was old and its nice that everything is up to date. So glad to have met this electrician, very nice, knows his stuff and I recommend him highly. I'm sure I will have some other projects, now that I know he is available. Thanks Peter V.

Brad squeezed me in last minute to figure out the problem and set expectations on the size of the job. Because it was the weekend, he scheduled me for the first thing on Monday morning. His team showed up promptly and were done in a few hours. The price was fair and communicated up front. The job required cutting some holes to get the wiring through but he patched everything up without leaving the holes exposed. This was a nice touch and completely unexpected/welcomed. Happy to recommend Brad for any electrical work and he'll be the first person I'll call for my needs in the future.

And potentially pricey. Thank goodness I found Barry Driscoll. He is beyond words FANTASTIC. Not only did he take care of everything I needed, he also anticipated all the needs I didn't even realize I needed... and that would be awesome for resale. He is a visionary and a professional, and funny to boot. Easy-going and hard-working... he's truly one of a kind. (And totally reasonable in terms of pricing... way better than other electricians from whom I got quotes.) I will absolutely call him up for any and all future electrical needs, and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!
