The experience using Garofalo Electric can be summed up in one phrase: ?Sal is courtious, fair, and skilled bryond expectation.? He was a true professional throughout the entire process ? from supplying a detailed and reasonable estimate, to showing up on time, to carefully planning how to accomplish all we asked in a way that would require minimal patch repair when compleded. And while it is not his ?job? to do so, he gladly provided advice, assistance, and even some materials to help us begin the proicess of repairing the few access holes that needed to be cut. Sal was also dillegent regarding the respect of our property and working as cleanly as possible. He was in-and-out in just under 2 days (after he vaccumed and cleaned his work areas) and the only sign that he was here is the now beautifully hung and operating light fixtures that brighten our home. We are so GLAD we called hinm for an estimate!
Description of Work: Sal Garofalo provided a VERY cometative estimate to do relectrical remodeling in our newly trimmed and painted home. This included the installation of lighti fixtures that we purchased a couple of years back but never got around to installing because of negative responses or high proces we received from contractors. (Other contrtactors we called “high-balled” the estimate, sighting concern for “how much time it would take” to snake wires and add fixtures twithout doing excessive damage These same contractors explained that MANY holes would need to be cut in both ceiling and walls). Sal was able to install all the fixtires and lights we requested with minimum and very covertly placed) access holes. The services he provided included: • Running power and installing a dining fixture and dimmer switch where there was none • Running power and installing over and under cabinet LED lighting and dimmer switch where there was none • Relocating a garbage disposal switch • Running power and installing 2 sconce lights and dimmer switched where there was none • Replacing a defective radiant heat thermostat • Replacing traditional light switched with dimmer switches • Running power to our service box and adding the new and appropriate curcuit breeakers to accomodate new lighting.

I needed an electrical panel replaced in my condo, as I'm about to put it on the market. I found Sal's profile on Angie's List and was impressed by the reviews. He got right back to me, came right out for a consultation, and was very professional and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job and left my place immaculate. The price also fell within my budget. Moving forward, Sal will be my electrician for all my needs. Highly recommend!

When I first contacted Sal,he answered the phone himself; I described the job and we arranged a tentative date for the work. When that date arrived, I had to call Sal to see if we were still on. He remembered our conversation, but said he couldn't do the work that day (it was two days before Thanksgiving). So we rescheduled for Dec. 3 and arranged to meet at the house at 10:30 am. I arrived at the house at 10:30 am and did various jobs while I was there. But no sign of Sal. He called (not sure of the exact time, but think it was approximately 1 pm) to ask if we were still on. I said yes, but that I had to leave at 3:15 pm to meet my son on the school bus. Sal said he thought he could finish the job in time and would be arriving in shortly. He arrived approximately one hour later and went right to work. His work exhibited a high level of professionalism and thoroughness. He's also a very nice guy. And I was on time for meeting school bus.
Description of Work: I asked Sal to install an exterior-grade electrical outlet, transformer and landscape lighting for a two-family house in Cheshire.

The job went very well, and I am very pleased. Sal was prompt, knew what he needed to do, and got right to work. Because of the age and lack of capacity of my circuit breaker panel, Sal had to replace it. He installed an excellent replacement, complete with a cut-over for the generator and six extra slots for future circuits to be installed. The wiring in the new panel is MUCH more organized than the old one; Sal did a great job in both keeping it neat AND labeling it clearly. He also installed a 30amp outlet on the outside of the house so that I can plug the generator into it, and set me up with a 25-foot, 30amp extension cord- everything I need to run my home off of my generator in an emergency. When Sal was finished with the installation, he walked me through how to use the transfer switch to power the house from my generator. He was very thorough, and did a great job of explaining how the whole system works. He even swept up the entire work area, and left it cleaner than it was when he arrived! I found Sal on Angie's list in 2012, and hired him to install a new circuit for an electrical outlet in my basement. He did a great job, and was my first choice for the new circuit breaker panel and generator transfer switch. I have already recommended Sal to a few of my friends who are looking to have electrical work done. If you want an electrical job done right, for a good price, by an experienced and very personable expert, look no further than Sal Garofalo at Garofalo Electric, LLC. -Jeff
Description of Work: Sal installed a new circuit breaker panel with a transfer switch built in so that I can now power my entire house from my portable generator. He also wired an outside outlet so I can plug the generator right into the house, and run it on my back deck.

The previous electrician was one we contracted through Angie's List. He had previously installed a new ceiling fan without any problem. We don't know why the job went so poorly; it was major (connecting a new generator), and he seemed to know what to do. But there were problems from the start. (I have misgivings giving you his name for fear of his retaliation.) He didn't come when he said he would; he gave us a quote for the work which, according to Mr. Garofalo, (when I showed him the contract) was at least $500. in excess. When I questioned the cost (He had told me an hourly rate, but charged far more than the time would have warranted,) he stormed out of our house. He would not respond to our requests to complete the job, which is why we hired Mr.Garofalo. Thinking that our Electric Dryer was broken, (it wouldn't work) we called in an appliance repair person who said the problem was not the dryer, it was the connection for the generator that was the problem. That is when we called Mr. Garofola. Thus, we had to pay the appliance repairman and the new electrician their fees, in addition to the overcharge for the generator. Mr Garafalo was a very nice repairman; We will call him again when we need work. He was friendly, explained everything clearly, and did the work without incident. I appreciate finding him on your list.
Description of Work: He fixed an electrical connection for our new generator that a previous electrician had not completed the work on. He connected the generator to its own fuse box, which he said should have been done the first time. His work resulted in resumed connection to our porch electricity which had stopped working due to the previous electrician's errors. He also corrected a new outlet In our garage (yes, the previous electrician) which he said had not been connected properly.

Sal was a complete professional throughout the process. He came out to give an estimate for the work, completely describing exactly what he would be doing and making a recommendation of how large of a generator that I would need to run the circuits that I was interested in. Once I purchased and received the generator, Sal scheduled the work for a couple of business days later. He arrived promptly when he said he would. I added the request for an additional GCFI circuit and outlet at the last minute and Sal had no problem adding it to the work he was doing (at a reasonable additional cost). The work went quickly and after completion Sal performed an end to end test of the generator - simulating a loss of street power and working with me to explain step by step how to engage the generator safely. We also tested all of the circuits to make sure that they powered the areas that I wanted them to. Sal completely cleaned all of the work areas and left me ready to face a potential power outage (2 weeks before Sandy hit!). I have already recommended Sal to several coworkers who are interested in having generators installed. I would recommend Sal without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a professional, talented, and customer-focused electrician.
Description of Work: Installation of a transfer switch for a portable generator. Relocated 8 circuits to a secondary circuit panel to run off generator power if needed. Also added an additional GCFI circuit and outlet to run a low voltage lighting power pack.

He was professional, polite and personable. He worked neatly and left the work area as he found it. There were no hidden costs or additions to his estimate.

After Sal hung the UTS, connected it to the panel, and ran the wire to the outside wall, I programmed the UTS and we turned on my generator to test that the UTS would switch from utility power to generator power. It worked fine. Even though it took Sal longer than the two hours he had estimated, he did a good job and I would hire him again.
Description of Work: Sal installed and connected an APC Universal Transfer Switch (UTS-6) and then fished a wire from it through the basement ceiling to the back wall. He then installed a generator input box on the outside wall.
