Penna Electrical accomplished all the work over a less than two day period using a hard working 2 man crew. The team lead worked extremely expertly and quickly, with excellent support from the 2nd man. The first day they systematically made all the upgrades as they moved around the exterior of the building. The second day they worked the interior items, connecting all the exterior elements. The team was very hard working, experienced, and easy to work with. They understood the nuances of our installation and the best implementation pathways. They also arrived on-time, kept me informed as they worked and performed to the schedule and to the estimated. I would definitely use Penna Electrical again and request Jeremy & Felix for the work.

The guys that came out were very professional and workmanlike. I showed them what I had discussed w/Todd (there were some wrinkles that I'm not going to mention because it's just too much minutia, but suffice to say they accommodated all of it) and proceeded to do an amazing and very precise job. I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Todd Penna came to my house and gave me a quote to replace my old electrical panel. I was so impressed by his professionalism and the detail in layman's terms of what the job entailed that I decided on the spot to hire his company to do the work. I did not bother getting other quotes and I was not disappointed. The two electricians, Jermin and Guillermo, completed the job in a timely and very professional manner on one of the hottest days of the year. I am a very happy camper.

We used Penna Electrical to extend an outlet, install a new overhead light, install a sump pump at the base of our driveway, and inspect our electrical panels.  Initially there was some confusion as to when the work would be performed.  I assumed they would do a price estimate and the work on the same day.  Instead the price estimate would be given on one day and the work would be done on another day.  Normally this would not be a big deal.  The problem was we needed the sump pump installed due to a predicted rain storm.  Without the pump the garage would possibly flood.

Todd Penna came out to do the estimate and I explained to him my frustration.  He did the price estimate for the work and tried installing the sump pump that day.  This was unexpected and something he did not have to do.  He worked on the sump pump for about an hour trying different solutions.  We (Todd and I) decided the possible solutions we came up with were not the best solutions for various reasons.  The best solution was to wait for one of his electricians to come out and take the time needed to install the sump pump the correct way.

Todd also showed me the problems with our circuit breakers and explained why the new style circuit breakers were better.  However, he explained, they did not need to be replaced but we should consider it in the future. 

A few days later, Todd?s electrician came out and did the work.  At first I thought he did not extend the outlet because I did not see any dry wall dust or conduit.  The electrician ran the line behind the wall and cleaned up the mess. 

I was very impressed with Todd and his electrician.  Everyone I spoke to was very accommodating and returned calls/messages promptly.  I communicated Penna Electric using e-mail, cell phone, and text messages.  We will certainly use them again for some other planned electrical work and we will definitely recommend him to neighbors and friends.

On time, professional, fast, friendly and economical.  They gave good suggestions and round down from the overall price.  Pricing was ethical and reasonable.  Sergio and Brandon completed the job of three outlets in about an hour or less.

Penna Electric provided top notch service at an incredibly reasonable price. Todd did the estimate - showed up on time and did a through inspection. He produced an estimate at the spot which was very helpful. Day of the job Sergio and his associate showed up on time (actually early) and installed four new LED recessed lights into my vaulted ceiling. They were pleasant and professional. They took extra care to clean up after the installation. Todd showed up during the job to make sure everything was going OK which was very professional. We were able to install three new additional lights even though we only originally requested two. Overall very happy with the work performed and would highly recommend. We'll definitely be calling Penna again when we replace some additional old lights.

We had a few issues with flickering lights, (probably had more to do with our house's wiring than anything else) and the color of the LEDs- we wanted a warm yellow, rather than a florescent white.  Todd stated several times that the job wasn't done until we were happy, and worked with us to get the exact lights, and the right dimmers.  We are very satisfied with the completed job, and with Todd's care and attitude through what could have been a frustrating experience.  His employees were trustworthy, and professional, and Vivian always called to remind us of appointments, or to give us notice if they were running late.  We appreciate how respectful everyone is at Penna.

We contacted a number of electricians on your list to obtain quotes . We found Todd Penna and his office staff (Vivien) to be  the most responsive to our needs. A very professional proposal and agreement were prepared in a timely manner. A date and time to start the work was agreed upon. Everything went well and we certainly would recommend Penna Electric to our friends and relatives.
Jermin the lead staff electrician and his helper David arrived at our home at the designated time. They surveyed the job site and determined the best approach to completing the job and advised us the approximate time it would take to complete the work.( a day and a half)  Once the job started they kept us informed as to the progress they were making. Upon completion of the work on the first day they cleaned up and advised what time they would return the next morning. The work was completed on schedule much to our satisfaction. The town inspector commented on the excellent job.

We had four companies give quotes on upgrading the electrical system of our 1950's home.  Todd Penna seemed very attentive to detail, as we told him what we wanted, and gave us the lowest price.Tod sent two good workmen to do the job, checking in with them from time to time.  There were a  couple of miscommunications (as there were bound to be with any job with this many parts), but these minor problems were resolved amicably and easily.  The workmen were friendly, cooperative and efficient.  The whole job took about 2 1/4 workdays.

We re-wired our entire home and updated our electrical panel with Penna Electric.  This is a BIG job and especially so because our house in on a concrete slab, so all the new wiring had to be strung through the attic and pulled down into the walls.
Todd gave us a very fair price and kept us in the loop as the job progressed.  He has a very knowledgeable and friendly team of electricians that work for him.  They did a professional job, courtesy patched all the holes, and cleaned up after themselves.
The job took a little longer than expected, but this was because Todd wanted things done properly...this even meant throwing in a few things for free that weren't part of the original quote.  
Highly recommend!
