"DO NOT HIRE FOR HVAC. Cotti Johnson has been the single worst contractor I have ever dealt with to date. If you have a simple HVAC repair, they may be able to do it but it's a gamble. If you have a large HVAC related work to be done, do yourself a favor and hire a company that understands the equipment they're dealing with. Where to start... I hired Cotti-Johnson to replace my old oil boiler with a modern heat pump system as the main source of heat for my house. Thomas Kelly, who was the initial person that came and made recommendations on the replacement system, should not be in the business of recommending heating systems to people. First of all, there's no heat load calculation of any kind, which is the first red flag but I didn't know any better at the time. They simply guess based on the size of the house without knowing a single thing about insulation or any other factor. Second mistake was recommending a single indoor head for an entire first floor that's separated by stairs in the middle of it. My initial concern with this was dismissed by Thomas who simply said "just give it a try!" Unfortunately, we're now stuck in a position where we can not remove the old boiler because the new system simply can not heat our first floor evenly. We have hot side and cold side and unfortunately our dining room is now permanently cold. It has been months of unanswered calls and emails and numerous back and forth to come up with a solution with still no end in sight. They do not return calls. Third mistake was installation. It took weeks to convince Cotti-Johnson and countless ignored calls and emails to get them to fix a mistake they made with the original install. Even then, they had to make multiple trips to finally realize they didn't account for line lengths accurately and undercharged the system. They finally did admit this and properly charged the system. They simply did not know how to deal with the equipment they're installing. I had to ask for proof of exactly how much refrigerant was being added in order for them finally do a proper calculation and add correct amount of refrigerant. Hire a diamond certified contractor if you want a Mitsubishi system and do not want to deal with these kind of amateur mistakes. Even after they finally did charge it to seemingly proper levels, they never installed back the brass screw caps for the outdoor unit or put the cover back on all the way. All around careless and amateur work. To add more insult to injury, I have been trying to get in touch with Cotti-Johnson for over 3 months for correcting inspection results and so far all of my calls and emails have been ignored. Learn from my mistakes and avoid this company at all costs."

30+ years of experience! Our mission is to be a provider that brings back the personal touch with our customers. We will build a relationship that will last a lifetime after you see our quality work. As a locally owned and operated business, we feel invested in our clients and constantly strive for customer satisfaction. Call or message us to schedule an estimate today!

"Following a home inspection I needed some odds and ends electric work done. Add 4-5 GFCI, ground a few plugs, etc. Also there were two knob and tube wires totaling under 20” in length that needed replacing. Items that most handle homeowners can do but I wasn’t allowed to because of the selling process, etc. I also needed it done within 7 days. A guy from Cox Electric came to my house to give me an estimate. (I’ll get back to that…) The guy that DID come to fix (Bill from another company) took 3 hours, did a beautiful job, and charged me $850. What was Cox Electric estimate? $3250. With materials costing under $50, this comes to over $1000/hour. While not against the law, gauging homeowners that are going through the process of selling a home is unethical."

At Amp Flow Electric Inc. we are focused primarily on the costumer , talking and leaning what kind the problems they encounter and making sure whatever electrical issues they have will be gone when we walk out the door . from solar , new installations to old work , residential or commercial, we are the right professionals for the job with 20 years on the field as electricians.

"Moises and his team essentially rewired my entire 2400 sqft 1850's home, replacing old wiring, adding new outlets, switches, lights, etc. It was a big job. He was great to work with, very professional and reliable. We checked in on progress and the plans for the day almost every day and he was very flexible when we decided to make changes (which happened multiple times). He worked closely with the town inspector to make sure everything was up to code. We were also living in the same space that needed work and he and his team were good about covering things up and minimizing dust as much as possible. I would hire him again if I ever needed anything new added and highly recommend him for any of your electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Before starting electrical projects in Providence, review local permit requirements and submit applications early, since processing can take up to 10 business days. If your home is older or located in a historic district, check for special code upgrades or restrictions. Coordinate with your utility provider if service adjustments are needed, and clarify neighborhood guidelines for exterior electrical work to prevent unexpected setbacks.

Helpful?

In Providence, small electrical jobs such as installing outlets or light fixtures usually take a few hours, while panel upgrades or adding circuits may require one to two days. Larger projects like whole-house rewiring can extend over one to two weeks, especially if utility coordination is needed. Keep in mind that harsh winter weather or high summer demand can also impact scheduling and completion times.

Helpful?

Electrical systems in Providence benefit from annual inspections, especially in homes over 25 years old. Test GFCI outlets monthly, replace smoke detector batteries twice a year, and inspect outdoor wiring after severe winter weather. If your home has aging wiring or panels, schedule regular professional assessments and consider preventive upgrades to enhance safety and reliability throughout the year.

Helpful?

When hiring electrical pros in Providence, prioritize those with proven experience in local homes, especially older properties. Confirm they carry proper insurance and can provide references from recent Providence projects. Look for clear communication, detailed written contracts, and familiarity with historic district requirements. Choosing a professional who understands seasonal challenges, like winter weather, can also help ensure your project runs smoothly.

Helpful?

Be cautious of quotes in Providence that are unusually low, lack clear breakdowns, or require full payment upfront. Watch for contractors who avoid providing a business address, resist written agreements, or suggest skipping permits and inspections. If a professional hesitates to share references from local projects or communicates poorly, these are strong indicators to consider other electrical pros for your project.
