Electrical Service, Generator Installation, Lighting Service,

About us

Established in 2005, my family built Bold Electric under the premise of bridging the gap between the large electrical companies and the NJ homeowners who rely on them. We've been family owned and operated ever since, striving to work harder to give homeowners the customer service and satisfaction they deserve and should expect from their electrician. We put our hearts into every job we perform for you. You aren't just clients, you are our neighbors who need a New Jersey licensed professional electrician who can do the job right. Bold Electric LLC, also a certified Kohler® Generator Installer, has formed a strategic partnership with Cooper Power Systems. We are offering our customers a hedge against power outages that disrupt their daily lives with the installation of Standby Home Generators. A Standby Generator is ready 24 hours a day 7 days a week to respond to a power outage within seconds. With diesel fuel or natural gas powering the generator, the homeowner can continue using all connected circuit breakers with minimal disruption indefinitely. The generator will automatically transfer the connected circuits back to the grid once utility power is restored. EMERGENCY # (908) 421-9157

I bought a Kohler generator 8 years ago from them. The installation went well and I never had a problem until now. There isn’t enough room here to explain everything that happened. In essence, they attempted to charge me $1300 for the same repair that was done less than a year ago and was still under warranty. When I asked why the same repair had to be done again in less than a year, I was told it was because my generator was 8 years old and was made to last for 8-10 years. Michael D. recommended not to put any more money into the generator and sent me an estimate for a new one for almost $9000. After doing a lot of research and speaking with a Kohler technician, I found out that a Kohler generator will last 25-40 years and is built to run about 1000 hours. My generator has run 200 hours and the technician said it was “a baby”. If you buy a generator from them either get someone else to service it or learn all you can about generators.

Absolutely horrendous! Unethical pricing and sales tactics, taking advantage of people during storms. They charged me double what they quoted, and claim that I have a different generator than the quote. Took several months to hear back from them about a contract! They may answer the phone for sales, but don’t care about you or when you are serviced. If they say they are on the way, that isn’t true either and they don’t care if you’re waiting days. The office is a mess, and the techs are very messy and will leave oil spills all over the place! Attached is their price list, would love to know if anyone else got this pricing or were ripped off! They tried to charge me 70% more in their most recent contract!!!! They definitely increase pricing if they feel you can be taken advantage of.

Steer clear of this company. They don't have ethical business practices and their work is not good quality. Spent a lot of money on their services and they failed to deliver every time. Go to another Kohler company for generator installation and electrical work.

I cancelled in 2017. Was notified June 12, 2018, they were billing my credit card so I called and told them that I had cancelled. They promised to remove. On july 11, called them again cause the credit wasn’t issued. They promised to call back by 7-13...no call. Wrote email on 7-14... got 3 responses with different answers. Bottom line, it’s july 17 and my credit card still doesn’t reflect the charge was credited back.
Response from Bold Electric LLC

"Mrs. [Member Name Removed] entered into a one year contract starting on 6/12/17 and ending on 6/11/18. The contract was for BoldGenerators.com, a branch of Bold Electric LLC, to maintain her stand-by generator. As stated in the contract in the section that speaks about cancelling said contract, "Written notice must be sent to BG thirty (30) days prior to renewal date. If the customer fails to send notice, the contract will remain valid for the following year". We received no such notice in 2017. The only written notice we have is on 7/13/18 via email stating that the contract was cancelled last year. We require written notice to have a record that the homeowner is relieving us of our responsibility to uphold our end of the contract. We take our responsibilities in servicing our clients seriously. To hastily remove a client from our coverage list in error, only to leave them stranded when they need us, would be to violate or company credo, "Helping You Weather The Storm". Our contracts auto renew for the same reason listed above. Emergencies happen 24/7/365 as many of the residents of New Jersey know after living thru, Hurricane Irene, Snowtober 2011, Hurricane Sandy and this most recent major snow storm in March 2018. We would rather bill someone who forgot to cancel properly and refund their payment than not show up. Some clients do not want an auto renewing contract despite the benefits listed above. In those cases we offer our clients the ability to "opt out" of the auto renewal by choosing a one time only option when they pay for our services. Mrs. [Member Name Removed] gave us written permission to keep her credit card on file. Although we had the right under the terms of the contract not to refund Mrs. [Member Name Removed]'s payment, we did approve the refund the same day she emailed us on 7/13/18. The person Mrs. [Member Name Removed] spoke to on Saturday 7/14/18, outside of normal business hours, was on call to answer emergency calls, not billing issues. They were therefore unfamiliar with her particular case and could not answer all her questions. Credit card companies often take a few days to process refunds, especially with a weekend in between. After reviewing our internal processes, I found that each member of my company did their respective jobs in excess of my standards, which are in excess of industry standards. I am proud of my team and would not change one thing we did in this situation. My staffs continued hard work and dedication is the reason we have stellar reviews from hundreds of our clients thru various forms of Social Media. I feel this poor review is not a proper reflection both of what took place on this particular instance no less how we interact with our clients in general. Thank You for your consideration, Vincent Battista, President, Bold Electric LLC. www.boldgenerators.com"

Great. Came out to perform assessment, clearly explained what needed to be done, offered good price, and had team there to do work right on schedule. After completing work, Bold called PSE&G to set-up necessary follow-up. I will use them for all of my future electrical needs.

We called Bold Electric to identify why we lost power in a few of the rooms in an apartment house we own. They mentioned that they charge $150.00 an hour for one electrician and 180.00 if the job required 2 electricians and asked if we agreed to that. We did and when the electrician came out to the house 2 electricians were in the van however only one came in to troubleshoot and see what the problem was. Once he discovered the problem the other electrician came in. They discovered they needed to replace 3 circuit breakers however they didn't have the right brand so they had to come back another day to replace the breakers with the right brand. Two electricians returned the following week and finished the job. We were charged a total of $395.00 which we thought was excessive for the work they did. We also had my daughter provide the 5% off coupon where one of the electricians took a picture of it with his phone and sent it to their office however they stated that they never received it. I emailed it to them and they still didn't acknowledge that they received it. It wasn't until my husband stayed on the phone with the office and made sure they received it that they deducted the amount. Final payment with the coupon was $374.60. We also spoke to a representative regarding our concerns with the price and they stated that we agreed in the beginning to their charges and if we thought we could get it cheaper somewhere else we should have done so. We felt they could have done the job with one person and should have had the right circuit breakers so they didn't have to come out another day. They didn't offer free estimates so it is hard to know what the final price of the job would be.

Used the emergency phone number listed on Angies List and Dan immediately answered the phone. He put a plan in motion to get the repairs needed to restore power to the home.. As promised, he and his son, Vincent (owner), came out quickly this morning, assessed the situation, provided a quote and dispatched electricians to repair the issue. Very happy that they treated the problem with urgency and professionalism and kept me in the loop the entire way.

Very well. Minimized cost by reusing line from old outlet while making sure any safety or standards concerns were properly addressed. Their price was well below two other companies that came and provided an estimate. On time for both visits (estimate and work) and cleaned up perfectly. Estimate proposal clear and complete as to all work. My only complaint is they did not accept American Express credit card.

Response from Bold Electric LLC

"We contacted the customer about our oversight two weeks ago, and requested his contact info to schedule an employee to give him a free estimate. Angie's List's email with Mr. [Member Name Removed]'s request just slipped past us and we sincerely apologized to him. This is not typical of our company and was an honest mistake. Please always feel free to give us a call at 908-421-9157 if you do not hear from us the same day. We answer our phone every time! :)"
