James Carbo

Jimmy Carbo arrived to look at the job and to prepare a quote; he was one of four electricians that I'd asked to bid on the job. We had a helpful discussion of the job and some of the pros and cons of different approaches to certain items. He sent the quote promptly, and I called him after I reviewed all the quotes to follow up on a couple of points that the other electricians had raised. He promptly sent a revised quote, which I accepted. We were hung up for a bit waiting for the electric company to unlock the off peak meter (and eventually proceeded anyway; Peco has still not shown up). Jimmy and two of his staff (Scott and Scott) arrived at 6:30 am on the scheduled day; he briefed them and left. They brought an emergency generator to hook up the tv and a fan but they were all done by noon so we never ended up using it. The guys did a nice job cleaning up when they were done. The inspector arrived in a couple of days to give his blessing, which he did. One minor negative: the labeling of the individual circuit breakers was a little hit-and-miss, but I was going to redo it anyway so it was not a big deal. Overall the job went much more smoothly and quickly than I expected, with much less disruption. I'm quite pleased with the result.

We had a ceiling fan that wasn’t working and we wanted to make sure it wasn’t a wiring problem in the house and talked to us about that. I just retired from Plymouth Meetings Friends School and he has done all the electrical work at the school for many years. His prices are very fair.

COMPLETED WORK IN EXPECTED TIME. VERY PLEASANT CREW.
