Antonio, who came to replace dead wall socket and fix a nonfunctioning doorbell, was prompt,!pleasant and very efficient. He even spotted an uncovered outlet, left by a plumber, and fixed it without me asking.

Our beloved home was built in 1910 and we've been working on it ever since we bought it. Last Sunday we had a major circuit failure on the second floor. Blaze came quickly to assess the problem and work out a plan. In the end we did a major rewiring. They accomplished it in 3 days, left us with plenty of new outlets, a new subpanel and a more secure home. All the technicians were friendly and accommodating. No doubt we'll be using them again.

I would look elsewhere. The repairman came when our circuit breaker had an outage due to an incorrectly installed screw that resulted in sparks occurring. Instead of looking at the issue deeper, he immediately suggested the only fix was to replace the entire circuit breaker + put a hole through our wall to repair it. He quoted $2300 for the job. Then after negotiating he immediately dropped it down to $1500. After getting more notes from other electricians, it turns out the entire circuit breaker did not need to be replaced but instead a simple 1 hour job to replace the wire + screw, which cost ~$250 for the entire job. The whole experience felt dishonest and trying to take advantage of people who are not knowledgeable about what goes on behind the walls.

The electricians were professional and courteous. They were done within 20 minutes - replaced an outlet, checked & serviced three more adding necessary screws for rickety sockets without charging me extra. They'll handle all of my electrical needs in the future.

We had Fred from Blaze Electric over at our daughter's apartment in Harlem last week. We had asked that he fix a light switch that was faulty. He arrived punctually. Set about his work methodically and neatly. He quickly had the switch fixed and cleaned up after himself. His rates were extremely reasonable. He also provided my husband who was on his first visit to New York with insights and comments on living in New York. We were blown away. Bhavani Australia

Owner Frank Caporale handled my requests promptly and efficiently and sent a knowledgeable and neat electrician to do two repairs in my co-op apartment. I have hired many electricians for numerous renovations and repairs, and this was the most professional interaction I have ever had.

For some reason the lights in 2 adjacent rooms started flickering and then kept going on and off. Also 2 outlets in one of the rooms stopped working completely. David and his partner figured out the problem and rectified it in a timely manner. He answered all my questions and took the time to tighten an outlet in the kitchen that was very loose every time I would pull a plug out. So polite, friendly and professional. Thank you David and Blaze Electric.
