Tom was fantastic to work with. He took time to understand our needs and make suggestions, but no pressure. We will definitely call Tom the next time we need work. Additionally, when the inspector came to sign off on the work, the inspector said he knew Tom and his work/reputation was excellent.
Description of Work: Updated old wiring, and added a sub-panel with a couple of new circuits and outlets.

Very prompt on returning our initial phone call, and scheduling of the estimate. Amount of estimate was reasonable. Work scheduled about 2 weeks out. On date work was to be done, he called and requested a reschedule, due to forecast of very hot weather, so rescheduled to following week. On that day, he called and rescheduled again due to being double booked for that day. Still waiting for work to be completed.....

He has been my go to electrician for 10 years. I live in Plymouth and he has done work on both of my homes. He has done electrical or lighting work for me. I bought the light fixture and he installed it. What I really like about Tom is that he is reasonable as far as his cost and how he deals with people. When he evaluated the system, I had bought the wrong bulbs so he purchased the correct light bulbs and billed me for them. He was accommodating. He went the extra mile. He did not say that he could not do it. I will continue to use him.

We hired Tom Mertz based on his solid reviews on Angie's List. For our project, Tom removed old electrical fixtures and replaced them with new fixtures. He did excellent work at a very fair price, and was very easy to work with. We'd definitely hire Tom again for future projects.

Our kitchen, foyer, basement, garage and outside lighting were not working properly. I was afraid we were having a bad electrical circuity in those sections of our home. I called Tom and he promptly pick up our call scheduling us for the next day. He showed up on time and checked what was wrong. I really appreciate his professionalism, knowledge of his work and specially his honesty. He is very meticulous on what he does and clean up all messes in the process. Now all lights on those sections in our home are working wonderfully and it looks so beautiful with all new light fixtures. I highly recommend Tom's services to anyone with confidence.

I scouted for an electrician on Angie's List. Selected Tom Mertz Electric, Inc. based on all his favorable Angie's list reviews. I also liked the fact that his address was nearby. (I like to shop local if I can) He came over the same day I called him. We had 2 outlets in the dining room that were dead. He found and fixed the problem very efficiently. He installed an additional outlet in the basement utility room for our water softener. He also check out a ceiling light fixture that we wanted to make sure was safe. lastly, he checked to see that all of our kitchen outlets within 6 feet of the kitchen sink were hooked up to the GFCI. We highly recommend Tom. It isn't every day that you find a contractor that is honest and does great work

Tom Mertz came out and took car of a couple of things I have been meaning to address: additional outlet on a stair landing for a night light, an additional outlet in the garage for an overhead hanging fixture, along with a switch to turn on the light and the installation of a new fixture in a basement workshop. Tom was very personable, very professional, very neat and I will definitely use him again!

Tom put in a new ceiling lighting source for a dining room (there was not a current power source). Tom did a fantastic job! He was prompt, courteous, informative and above-all did a high quality work. He recemmended an excellent dry wall/painter for the spot where the new electrical panel was put in. He also called the next day to make sure we were satisfied with the job. Highly recommend!

He was very personable but professional. He responded in a timely fashion to my request for service and called me when he was 15 minutes out so I knew when he would be here. He checked all the outlets I had concerns about and let me know what he was finding as he went along. I didn't have problems but he tightened everything up and checked it all so I have peace of mind. He also took down the light in the bathroom and checked all the connections. Working better after he finished. He made it comfortable to ask questions and got the work done quickly. I would highly recommend him.

Tom did great work and the city inspector had absolutely no issues. Having had such a good experience, we soon-after had an issue with an outlet inside our house and called him about it. Rather than just coming out and charging a large trip charge, he first suggested some items I could check myself but, when I was unable to find the source of the outage, he came over. He was able to find and correct the issue quickly and, since it was such a short trip, he gave us a very good deal on the charges. Interestingly enough, the first time Tom was supposed to come over, he got delayed because of an emergency call he had taken early that morning from one of his regular customers. He called and mentioned that he would be late and then, due to bad traffic and my need to get to work, asked to re-schedule. He seemed very sincere on the phone and was willing to come over on a Saturday (which worked much better from my schedule) so we decided to stay with him. We are so glad that we did. He is one of the best service providers we have ever worked with. We heartily recommend him.
Description of Work: We initially had Tom over to do some re-wiring in our garage including re-installing a light on the front of the garage which had old (failing) wiring, installing an electrical outlet on the outside of the garage, adding a flood light on the side of the garage and changing out some old wiring. He also identified an issue with our switches which he fixed quickly without increasing the price from his estimate.

Installed a couple of additional electrical outlets in our basement. Did an estimate for us over the phone and also stopped by and looked at what needed to be done. Answered all questions on the spot and picked up the phone and answered additional questions we had when we called back. Bid was reasonable. We were worked into the schedule within a day or two. Very professional and knowledgable. Would absolutely recommend and use again.
