Abraham Electric

He was ontime, efficient, flexible, knowledgeable and reasonably priced!

Very satisfied

John was very prompt, friendly, and did an excellent job. Should I every need any other electrical work I will be going directly back to him.

Everything went great. If there is anything to deter me from using him again it's that he is a victim of his own success. We had to wait two weeks before he could schedule us due to some many other jobs he had scheduled.

Phenomenal. John is, honest, trustworthy and hardworking. He worked tirelessly until matter was resolved.

Could not have gone better. John was prompt, professional and thorough. Absolutely elated with the quality of both the work and the service. He took care of all the permits and inspections and set the switch to the new service up with NYSEG. A lot of above and beyond. I'd recommend him to anyone.

John is excellent to work with, great price and a very nice guy.

Awesome guy, awesome work.

John is a nice person and great to work with, on time, calls and lets you know whats going on. I live in Michigan and called John to do the work on my Mother in laws place and everything went great. Very Happy with John

John showed up exactly on time and fixed the switch quickly. It works! And John was friendly and considerate, and he didn't make a mess. I was completely happy with his work, will recommend him to neighbors, and will employ him anytime I need electrical work.

He did a great job! He is a keeper in our book!

I called John Abraham on Sunday evening at about 6 p.m., and he was at my house by 10 a.m. on Monday (he offered to be here at 8 a.m. but that was a little early for me). He was right on time, which means a lot since I waste a lot of time waiting for work related people to arrive, and sometimes they don't even show or call. This was a trouble shooting situation, and John was very thorough. He was able to explain things to me in a way I could understand. I feel a lot safer now, since I was concerned about a fire occurring. I still have some issues to resolve and will definitely call him again. He was just terrific ! Furthermore, he did not expect me to pay him on the spot, which provided me a few days to wait for my Social Security to arrive, even though I didn't mention that to him. That was also appreciated.

We were so fortunate to have found John Abraham on Angie's List. My family had purchased a house at 41 Sackett St., Seneca Falls, NY and we wanted the electrical work done before moving in. John was very accommodating in terms of the scheduling, and he was very considerate in letting us know when he was en route. Unlike many other skilled workers, he was very dependable in showing up when he said he would. He also gladly made an unexpected trip back one evening due to a mix up with the electric company. He was very thorough and patient in explaining things to us (we are all women with no electrical background). We are very satisfied with his work and would certainly hire him again. Even though he was very reasonably priced, he also saved us some money when the bill was finalized. Thank you John! You are awesome!

Everything went exceptionally well.  My son had utilized his services and recommended him, and I was not disappointed.  He had to work on a very old house and barn, was polite, conscientious, considerate, most accommodating as to payment, and I would - and will - hire him again in a heartbeat.

He was on time and was very polite. He worked fast and answered all our questions. He is definitely someone that I will use again. He was also 600 dollars cheaper then another quote I got.

NOTE: The date is a rough estimate (+/- a few weeks), as is the price (+/- 25 bucks).
A very mixed bag. We were excited about the price he quoted us, and he was very responsive and helpful over the phone, even before we had committed to service. The estimate was very attractive (maybe almost a  little too good to be true) and we went with him. He was very punctual the first day. We actually asked him to do a couple of extra jobs for us, and his one day repair stretched into two (he was punctual the second day too). But we had mixed results, and while I think he is probably overall a pretty solid electrician and such, i don't think we'd have him back to do more work.
We had measured and bought a new lighting can for the recessed space above our sink. Turns out, the one we bought didn't fit. Whoops, our bad. So he went to Lowe's or Home Depot (which we thought was cool of him) with the measurements HE took, after coming to our place, visualizing the space, and came back 45 or so minutes later with an LED can to install. During the install, and after having power-drilled screws through the new can at odd and awkward angles, it became obvious that this can ALSO was the wrong fit. Frustrated, I just opted to leave it as is, since 2+ hours of labor had already been invested into the installation of a 25 dollar lamp.
He took down our old ugly kitchen ceiling fan, and started to install a nice new brushed-nickel one we had bought on sale at Lowe's. We had selected this one because of its flush-mount install capability, because our kitchen ceiling has relatively low clearance, and my wife is tall. I indicated that we needed it installed with as much floor-to-fan-blades clearance as possible. But as he was installing it, I noticed he had the drop bar in place, adding a full 2 or 3 inches to how far it hung down. I said, can't this unit be flush mounted to the ceiling. He said no, and he was doing it the right way. I grabbed the install instructions, and found the flush-mount directions, and was about to show him, when he said something to the effect of, "Aw, I never read those instructions they include with the units," and made some joke about how that's not what a "man" does. I insisted - and showed him the flush-mount instructions, and had him take the unit back down, and re-install it the way I wanted it. More lost time.
That said, his installs of the pendant lights were seamless and gorgeous work, and decently fast (to my untrained eye). And his installs of the fluorescent light boxes in the basement went fine, as far as I could tell. He installed the outside outlet really fast as well. Communication was generally good throughout (aside from the aforementioned hiccups).
He was also really good about accepting a delay in payment - and to be fair, I have stretched that delay far longer than he ever intended due to some family financial circumstances (***John, if you're reading this now, 8/4/15, I have your money and can pay you today - finally!***) He mailed us an invoice, and it was only 0.25 - 0.5 hours longer than I had counted (I was keeping track).  Not too bad, actually. However: He did not discount hours for the LED-can fiasco or the double-labor for the errant ceiling fan install, takedown and re-install. Also: During the 2nd day, I had expressed some frustration at some of this, and he said, well, I'll tell you what, why don't I install an extra fixture for you in the basement, on the house, which he did, sort of: When I tallied up the hours on the invoice, I was, by my count, charged for that labor as well (and I had actually already bought all the materials myself, so there really was no discount). That said, at $60 per hour, he is so much less expensive than many other electricians that even the $800-ish was still a pretty good price, even though I think I should have been billed for about 1.5 fewer hours.
*HOWEVER* Clean-up was a MAJOR issue. There were piles of drill debris and sawdust all over my basement, the kitchen counters were sprinkled with debris, and I found a screw that had apparently fallen from the ceiling fixture above my sink, into my garbage disposal. I spent well over an hour cleaning up the messes.
Like I said, mixed bag. I think I've done a pretty fair job of balancing the praise with the criticism, and my comments are accurate. Obviously, his overall feedback is high on Angie's List, so maybe this was just an anomalous below-average interaction. I might recommend, but only with some major caveats. Overall, I guess not, which is too bad, since his skill set seems to be very large and his hourly labor cost is pretty good.

He was on time, and very meticulous.   Did everything we wanted done as requested.  Left our home neat and clean.  We will definitely use him again for future electrical work.

All went as expected

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! I AM VERY GLAD I CHOSE HIM  and very grateful that he accepted the job. He was very personable and professional and VERY PATIENT> He's a blessing and I know having him connect the electrical for my shed to the house, and his guidance, I learned alot and he stayed on task the whole time, with hardly a break. I offered him Gatorade, which he politely declined initially, but, I left it for him because it was a hot day and, with my being a past EMT, I wanted to be sure he was taken care of. He was very respectful and punctual. They broke the mold with this gentleman. I plan on using him for my kitchen electrical upgrade later this Summer. I know I have nothing to worry about with John. I consider him a friend and a confidant knowing the electrical knowledge. Money well spent.  Anyone who doesn't chose John Abraham Electric, is making a big mistake in my opinion. He's great and humble and knowledgable. THANKS!!
