He was very knowledgeable and personable. Spent a long time explaining exactly what needed to be done. Unfortunately, his price was higher than the other two estimates we received. I would be very comfortable hiring him based on his knowledge.

Scott and his team were wonderful. We purchased a new house and noted that a lot of the electrical work was shoddy or didn't work as we expected it to. The team came in and assess and updated the work to bring it up to code and updated several fixtures as well as installing several new ceiling fans and a whole home surge protector. They were professional, on time and provided realistic expectations.
Description of Work: Updated and fix existing electrical work, installed ground wiring and new circuit breaker. whole home surge protector, installed ceiling fans.

This was my first experience with S&S and I was very pleased. I purchased an Angie's Deal for $260 for 2 electricians to perform 2 hours of work each (in one visit). Everything went great from the very beginning. Communication was prompt and easy. They had me on the schedule within a week and the electricians arrived first thing in the morning on the day we had scheduled. I walked them through some of the work I wanted performed while they were there. First, I wanted several old, ceiling mounted florescent light fixtures removed and the wires capped off. Secondly, I wanted them to look at a loose/hanging wire that looked suspicious. They removed all of the lighting and even fastened the wires to the beams where they were dropping into the previous drop-ceiling. Additionally, they informed me that the suspicious wire I was worried about wasn't connected to anything electrical source. As an added benefit - They told me it was an old copper wire that can be taken to a recycling center. =) Excellent experience. I just ordered some new lighting to replace the old and am scheduling S&S to come back to install them. I would definitely recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Removed old florescent lighting fixtures during basement renovation.

The electrician did an excellent job, following through until the whole job was complete and everything working top notch when he left. It was a very complicated problem, and took hours to resolve. I was impressed with his focus and knowledge and patience to find out all the disconnects in the wiring. I already referred this company several times and is my first go-to company from now on for any electrical issues. Thanks

We required prompt specific work based on a home inspection report for a home we were selling. He brought the home up to code in one visit, was knowledgable about the verbiage within the home inspection report, and how to make both the seller and buyer happy at minimal cost. I have a much bigger project in mind in my new home, and I will definitely be in touch with them when the time comes.

Did a great job with all projects. 2 workers came. One worked on the garage wiring while the other electrician hung the light and fan - after removing the previous one that no longer worked. Picked up & swept when done. Removed & disposed of all packaging material as well as the old fixtures. Very pleasant and professional in their demeanor.

S & S ELECTRIC did a good job. I paid for two service people for four hours. One technician had an emergency so I ended up with one guy for seven hours. I was not impressed that it ended up taking all day. Their quality and professional was pretty good. I do not think I will be using them in the future.

I purchased the 2 electricians for 2 hours of electrical work. They arrived right at 0800 which is exactly when they said they would. They introduced themselves then went right to work. I wanted a new porch light put in as well as my breaker looked at due to a circuit that was tripping. I explained exactly what I was trying to have done, and they answered all my questions and went right to work. One did the porch light while the other went right to work on the breaker. They finished right at the 2 hour mark and everything worked just as it was supposed to. I have had no problems with my circuit tripping since they fixed it. They were also able to give me a quote for some other work. Great electricians with an impeccable professionalism.
Description of Work: Porch light installed. Circuit breaker fixed (was tripping when we had the T.V. on and ran the Dishwasher). They gave the Dishwasher it's own circuit.

Scott arrived promptly on time - to the minute - to meet and go over the job. He took the time to discuss and understand out plans and accurately evaluate the work involved. We bought this house from my wife's family when her father passed away. Built in 1965, it had 100A service, which was really good for the time. But it was fuses, not circuit breakers. I wanted that upgraded before I ran out of fuses in the dusty box i found down cellar. The house is out in the country, with a well and sump pump to worry about when the power goes out. So as part of the service upgrade, I had planned to buy a consumer grade/brand 14KW standby generator which would allow me to power a pre-defined selection of critical circuits in the event of a power failure. Scott listed to all these plans, and for roughly the same cost, he proposed installing a Milbank 20KW generator with a "smart" transfer switch. With this solution, I wouldn't have to choose what would be powered from the generator - the whole house is served. The smarts in the panel can be used to prioritize high current loads. For instance, if the power goes out with a roast in the oven and the AC on, the transfer switch will know not to power up the AC unit until the oven finishes drawing power. VERY slick.. Scott completely estimated the job and provided us with a competitive, detailed quote before he left. It was spot-on with what I'd expected - a little less than some quotes, a little more than others. But the details swayed me. Rather than just pulling numbers out of the air, Scott accounted for wiring, boxes, etc., so I knew what I was paying for. I accepted his quote and Scott scheduled the initial work for the following week. (By the way, my wife thought I was crazy for wanting an automatic generator but the very afternoon that Scott was there to give us a quote, the power went out in a thunderstorm while dinner was in the microwave. Stayed off for 6 hours...score one for me, LOL!) His crew arrived promptly at 8:00AM each day. It took them about a day and a half to do the service upgrade and rewire the garage. At this time, they installed the transfer switch, as it sits between the meter (National Grid) and the new 200A house breaker panel. They ran all of the feed and control cables for the generator as well. The generator was backordered, and took about a week or so for it to arrive. In the meanwhile, we'd had the propane installed and the generator location pre-plumbed. Lucy (who always pleasantly answers the phone when I've called S&S) called the day before to let us know it was in. Again, promptly at 8:00 the guys arrived and built the mounting pad for the generator. They finished the wiring and we had the electrical inspection done. Next day, propane guys came back and finished their connection and that building inspector signed-off. S & S came back to finalize the installation and show us how it worked. Uh oh, problems. Generator's running fine, but the transfer switch won't power up the house! S&S quickly trouble-shooted the problem, a bad solder joint on the "brain". A quick call to the manufacturer and we were told the part would be shipped to arrive Monday (it's now Thursday afternoon). That would be great service as it was, but because my wife is a school teacher and summer vacation ended on that Friday, we were going to have trouble scheduling S & S. They went out of their way to accommodate and planned to make an after-hours stop Monday night with the replacement part. We were amazed when Lucy called at 8:00AM Friday morning saying they got an expedited delivery of the part and the guys could come over anytime Friday after all! 10 minutes to pop in the good control board, and we were up and running. Couldn't be happier with the work, price, and service, and recommend S & S to anyone who asks.
Description of Work: We had S & S perform a service upgrade from 100A 200A, install a 50A subpanel in a detached garage, and install a 20KW standby generator with a fully automatic transfer switch.

They did a fine job, and they honored my coupon that I had. They made the estimate one day, and they came to do the job practically the next day. The gentlemen who came was good at explaining what the problem was. They don't have the worker deal with the payment process, they have a special guy who picks up the payment. I was pretty pleased with the work they did and how they got the job done. I thought that they had very modern equipment, and everything was hooked up correctly.

The estimate was resonable considering 2 other slightly lower estimates, The timeline was resonable. The 2 man crew was efficient, courteous and presentable. The workers took extra time to seperate and identify the circuits throughout the house. Overall the experience was comfortable and the work efficient.
Description of Work: Replace Electrical service from the street to the house and upgrade the service in the house. The Utility company replaced the wires from the pole to the house. S&S installed the new service entrance panel,2 new meters and 2 new inside circuit breaker panels with ample identified circuits breakers to allow for future expansion.

The S & S two man crew arrived on time, and were very neat and professional in their workings and appearance. They finished in the estmated completion time. Did a complete clean up of their work area, and even honored my wifes request that there be no smoking anywhere INSIDE the house or basement. I got higher, and lower estimates from 4 other electrical contractors, and are very satisfied with our choice of S&S ELECTRIC.
