The job went fantastic. We are new home-owners, and Rich Sapienza is honest, easy to work with and very helpful and informative. We werent sure what needed to be done, and I was pleased with his honesty and experience. I never once felt I was being talked down to, or cheated. He did an amazing job and we are very happy with the work done. As far as I'm concerned, he is our electrician from this day forward.
Description of Work: Very old and dangerous electrical panels needed full replacement, plus the electric meter box and pipes outside.

Mr. Rich Sapienza first of all was one of about six to seven electricians I contacted after seeing their names and reviews on Angie's List. When he came to give me an estimate, he was on time. He came and looked at my wiring and made a recommendation of what was required to install a portable generator I had just bought. He told me that one of the equipment I needed was a generator transfer switch, which, he said, would cost about $300. I had the option of buying the transfer switch mysefl, he added. Since I had researched the equipment, I agreed to buy it myself. Lo and behold, the price was about what he had said: $301! He then gave me an estimate of the cost of his labour. It was fair and way below the other estimates I had received. After my eqipment arrived, we set an appoint on when he would come and install the generator. He came in time and did the job very professionally. He is polite, patient and honest. Not for him, the habit of pushing home owners to pay for service or equipment they do not need. I would very strongly recommend him for his fair pricing and honesty!
Description of Work: Installation of generator transfer switch to connect portable generator properly.

Before checking Angies list I had called several other companies. I was amazed at the difference in prices to get some one to look at my problem. One guy wanted $245.00 + any parts an hour, another $150.00. I went to the list to check on each of them. The first guy wasn't even on there, the 2nd was listed, but no comments. I had already had Sapienza Electric down as one I was going to call, so I checked their listing. Seeing 3 positive comments I called them up and got a fast responce. He said he would be here in about an hour, and the service charge was $95.00. He also explained that he would only be checking the electric into the A/C unit and does not do any work inside the unit. One hour and five minutes later Rich Sapienza showed up at my door and we proceeded up into the attic to see what could be done. It being around 85 degrees outside, the attic had to be over 100. As soon as we got up there sweat was pouring down our faces. Rich proceeded to examine the unit and discovered that one wire had shorted out. He went down to his truck, got enough wire to run a new one, and 20 minutes later my A/C unit was pumping nice cool air into the house. When I was writing out the check he said make it for $90.00 I wasn't here that long.I have had any number of trades people into my house over the years and this was the most pleasant experience with any of them. Rich was not only professional in his work, but friendly and honest. I would recommend him to everyone. When I have any electric work to be done Sapienza Electric is my new go to guy!
Description of Work: I had an electrical issue with our central air that I needed an electrican to resolve.

See above.
Description of Work: He fixed a GFI outlet, a light that was supopsed to be controlled by a three-way switch and another light in my daughter's room. They all may seem like simple projects to be completed. However, we had hired another electrician (who was recommended by our painter) to fix certain other items and the items described above. With respect to the items described above, he spent a lot of time trying to fix them and ultimately concluded that he needed certain parts to fix them and that he would come back. Not surprisingly, he never called us back. We contacted him and he told us that he was still waiting for the parts to come in. We finally gave up him. Sapienza fixed two of the items without any "new" parts and, with respect to one of my daughter's lights, he had all the parts that he needed in his truck. In addition, he was professional and timely. My wife called him Thursday afternoon and he was available Saturday morning to come to our house.

Please see the box above. thanks
Description of Work: I lost electric one week after all the hurricanes. I called early Saturday and got a call back a few hours later. They would come out access the situation. As promised they came and I was informed about the water damage into the main fuse box causing it to corrode. Once the job and problme was explained to me, I asked for a repair date. I was told that Sunday the next day would be open for them.I booked the job and they come on Sunday and completed. the job. This is a father and son team, who work together well. I would use again without hesitation.
