Perfect Circuit electrician arrived on time for the appointment and after some testing was able to isolate the outage to an improperly installed connector between aluminum and copper wiring, put in by another contractor on a recent renovation project. Once the problem was diagnosed, replacement of the connector was performed efficiently. In the ~7 months since the repair we have not experienced any further stability or outage issues - overall very satisfied.

Description of Work: They were to install a new electric circuit to my home. ON the day they were scheduled they called and said they would be 1.5 hours late. The finally arrived 2 hours late. They had told me a area had to be cleaned to allow access. I did that but when they arrived hey indicated I needed to clean out a bigger area. They then left and did not even say sorry. When they returned a week later they did the work but did not put a blank face on a connector box because they did not have one on the truck. They said they would return but have not done so. They also did not clean up anything so there was sawdust all over my kitchen and garage where the work was done. However, the circuit did work. The price seemed very high for the work done, charging nearly $900 to put in one circuit to the kitchen and 2 empty circuits to the box. I would never use this company again not recommend them to anyone.

The electrician missed the appointment window and did not call to let me know he would be late, or to reschedule. When I called the office, the staff indicated they would call him and then call me right back. After an hour without a call back, I called the office again, and cancelled the appointment.
Description of Work: I scheduled an appointment for the electrician to come to my home to repair a porch light and to give me an estimate for additional work.

Description of Work: We hired Perfect Circuit to install a natural gas generator and automatic switching system in the spring of 2013. Our Less-than-A ratings are not due to substandard technical skills of the owner or staff or to the equipment, but due to the mismanagement of the project. It seemed that the Company was over-committed in a time when, because of long outages over 2 years, many people were acquiring full-house generators. The staff was spread very thinly and often had to choose between project work and service calls. We finally received the Township approval this spring, 2 years after the project began. Our neighbor hired the same company, and his project took a little over 4 months. I know others who are very satisfied with the work performed by Perfect Circuit. Our project seemed to be the combination of unfortunate issues and errors combined with, perhaps, unreasonable requirements by the code enforcement department. On the postive side, we are very pleased with the installation and operation of the equipment that was recommended at project start. When the power goes out, we are 'back in business' in 20 seconds.

They were fantastic. Melissa was very responsive and promptly returned emails when sent. The techs were punctual, professional and knowledgeable. They worked quickly and neatly. Everything was completed exactly as scheduled and the cost was almost exactly what was quoted. Their prices were slightly lower than other quotes I had received. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for an electrician.
Description of Work: New outlets, 2 new circuits, recessed lighting.

We recently purchased a house that had aluminum wire and was supposedly pigtailed a few years back but sellers could not produce proper paperwork.We wanted to get this addressed asap as this was a serious safety issue. After recently moving in, we called around for a few quotes and found Perfect Circuit Electrical. I hired them because they were responsive to my call, answered all of my questions and had great ratings on Angie's List. The guys that did the work were great, they did a diagnostic check of the entire house for about $200 which is reasonable and fixed all major issues for a reasonable price. The two men were great and did a great job. We are waiting on a follow up on two items but I am 100% confident that they will follow up with us. I plan to use them going forward. Keep up the great work!
Description of Work: Fixed lines that were crossed, pigtailed 5 outlets with aluminum wire, correctly installed galvanized material in circuit panel were aluminum wire was found.

Frequently did not show up and no phone call. Made a serious mistake in installation that was a safety issue. Also, neglected to install surge protector that was supplied by and recommended by generator manufacturer and did not tell us. Both of these deficiencies were satisfactorily remedied after I contacted Perfect Circuit. Several price increases as the project progressed.

Response from Perfect Circuit Electrical LLC
This installation took place in the aftermath of tropical storm Irene where every contractor experienced a lack of resources due to the overwhelming amount of property damages. Our staff at that time was quite strained as a result, as were all electricians, roofers, and tree service professionals. During this time period, regretfully, operations were not conducted as smoothly as they would have been if there had not been a statewide natural disaster. This job was performed under township permit and had passed all local inspections. No safety issues were noted at any point during any township inspections. We are a Certified Kohler Generator dealer and in no way do they recommend a surge protector being installed with their equipment. We however supplied and installed a surge suppressor at no additional cost to this client. Client also refused to make proper progressive payments as work continued which severely delayed the project’s completion. We do not take large deposits for jobs, and depend on the goodwill of the client to make the proper payments. We have set prices prior to commencing any work which we do not vary from unless client specifically asks for changes in the installation of their project or additional equipment. Our prices do not increase for any other reason under any circumstances. The approximate cost listed above by this previous client is grossly exaggerated and in the end ultimately paid less than his original contract price, which makes us surprised to find this review 3 years later on Angie’s List.

Called Perfect Circuit because my generator was not working during the weekly test cycle. Perfect Circuit came the next day, and installed a heater inside my generator. They reset the generator and explained to me how to reset the generator in the future. This was not an easy service call. It had been snowing all winter, and my back yard had a least 4 feet of snow and ice. The service technician had to plow through all this snow to get to the generator in my backyard. Plus he was working in 20 degree weather with biting winds. The office staff is super co-operative and friendly. This is a great company, and their prices are very reasonable. I am definitely going to use them for all my generator needs.

Description of Work: Our toaster blew out the circuits in our kitchen. We checked the circuit breakers and pressed some reset buttons on switch plates but had no success. Company gave us a same day appointment. Worker fixed the problem, no muss, no fuss, and asked if there were any other electrical concerns as there was time left on the minimum charge. Who does that? We got some advice on a couple of things and that was that. Very next day, we received a nice letter from the company thanking us for allowing them to serve us. Impressive follow-up.

In early January 2013 I blew a fuse, and when taking it out to replace it, the button at the back of my fuse box also came out. Thus I had 3 rooms of my house without electricity. I decided it was time to upgrade to breakers. I called three providers. One didn't want to come and give an estimate unless I agreed to have him do the work. He gave me some ball park numbers over the phone when I described what I needed. A second electrician came the next day and gave an estimate. It was about $1000 more than the first person suggested. I then called Perfect Circuit. They said they couldn't come to give an estimate for two weeks. I ran some extension cords. Perfect circuit came on Jan 14 and I had an emailed estimate on the 15th. Cost wise they were about $1000 less than my second estimate and right about where I expected the cost to be after looking on-line at the cost of materials. I said go ahead and they scheduled me for Jan 17th. The electrician who was going to do the work came on the afternoon of the 16th to look things over and make sure they would have all material they needed. (Since it was winter and we would be without power and heat while the work was being done we didn't want any surprises). Two electricians came bright and early on the 17th and they were done by 3:00pm. This was not a simple replacement since there were 2 sub-panels which had been added on after the original panel had been installed (for a washer and dryer in the basement and a pool). All 3 panels were replaced with the one. Also the new panel was larger than the old so the wall had to be opened up and of course extra grounding had to be done because of the increased amps. The electrical meter was also raised to meet code. They were very knowledgeable and answered all my electrical code questions by bringing out a copy of the code and showing me paragraphs which answered my questions.. They were easy to work with and were receptive to my ideas about how to run the grounding and connections to the main water supply. They cleaned up well. When the work was inspected by the township they found only one small issue. The hot and cold water pipes had not been bridged at the water heater, which was not something really having to do with the installation. However, Perfect Circuit came out the same day and fixed it.
Description of Work: Installed new 200 amp 42 circuit GE panel and breakers in place of an old fuse box. Install new 200 amp meter pan and over head conductor. Also made provision for external power generator connection with interlock kit at back of house.

Went Perfectly! This with the 3rd & final electrical vendor I rec'd a quote from. Price was competitive, the explained everything to my satisfaction, scheduling was prompt and easy. Administrative coordination at the back office was superb, as I dealt with 3 entities: the office admin, principal, and installers.

EXCELLENT! They need to follow up on a couple small items, I have complete faith they'll be there for me.
Description of Work: I had a ton of electrical work done in my home- from exterior lighting- to wiring basement fixtures to moving outlets- installing brand new ceiling fixtures (with wiring needed)- replacing all my smoke detectors- they even looked at my garage door opener that was acting up! They offered lots of great advice - saved me tons of money with their suggestions- and they did so much in my home in a matter of hours. Their written estimate was very detailed so there were no surprises. I'll call them in a heartbeat in the future!

Ken, the owner stopped by and reviewed this project - we were highly impressed by his straightforward manner.The sizing of backup generators was a question, and our concern was what power would be sufficient to drive our 3.5 ton a/c - with Ken's help we decided on a 14kw kohler unit. Other companies were trying to sell us a 20KW unit, but the 14KW kohler had enough reserve amp capacity to handle the cold crank amperage of the a/c unit.Once the project got going, we encountered a few delays - because of township delay's in granting permits - but in this Ken and his team were helpful and let us know what was going on. His openness was highly appreciated.Once the project was completed, we had a test run and all appliances that needed to run ran well. We are completely satisfied with the project, and with Ken and his team's work.
Description of Work: Installed a Natural Gas 14KW electric standby generator.Also replaced the 100Amp service panel.
