Our tenants had a breaker issue, and Eddie came out quickly to take care of it. The response time was great, and the emergency service didn’t charge any overtime fees—even though he came during off-hours. The pricing was very reasonable, and the whole experience was handled by a very friendly and helpful team. If you’re in Windham, NH and need reliable help, I’d definitely recommend them!

Andrew Anderson on E/R Electric

We recently had a great experience working with E/R Electric on a number of electrical projects in our Arlington condo. Eddie was great to work with and responded very quickly to my initial enquiry and all follow up communication. E/R Electric ended up installing recessed lighting and a couple of pendants in our previously poorly lit kitchen, a vent and upgraded lighting in our bathroom, and a new ceiling light in our living room. The work was finished on time and on budget and the price was much more reasonable than quotes we had received elsewhere. I’d highly recommend E/R Electric to anyone looking for a reliable, professional electrician in the greater Boston area and look forward to working with Eddie and team in the future.

Eddie and his team are amazing! I contacted his team to help have a TV media in wall box put in with some urgency, and they were extremely professional, prompt, and did a wonderful job. They left the space super clean and were very efficient - the time from calling in for the quote to getting the service completed was all within just a few hours, and it looks fantastic! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Eddie and his team are very professional and friendly! We wanted to install Smart Switches into our home, I contacted Eddie, unsure of which switches to actually buy or use, Eddie came over and examined the switches and he recommended the types to purchase and what the estimated cost was. After we purchased the switches we scheduled another time for him and his team to come. Both of them were extremely professional, very nice and friendly, and quick to finish the job. We also asked if they could remap one of the lights to a specific switch and they were able to do so as well! The new smart switches work perfectly, we had to install about 8 switches and the finished in about 45 minutes, with a reasonable price for install!

We called Eddie again a few weeks later to install a new outlet in a closet, we sent him some photos and he quoted me via text/email and we scheduled the install in less than a week. The job also took about 20 minutes to complete and it looks wonderful, they drilled the holes added the new outlet and patched everything up perfectly!

Would defiantly work with Eddie and his team again! Highly recommend

M Park on E/R Electric

Got an 240v EV charger and an additional outdoor 20 amp GFCI outlet installed in an old house. Eddie and his crew were fast and efficient and did a nice job. Showed up early cleaned up after they were done. Reasonable prices too. Super responsive via text and phone. I had thought about different options for a charger setup and I really appreciated how Eddie steered me towards the safest and most robust methods and explained why different options that I was considering were not as safe. Very happy with his advice and the actual installed. Highly recommend.
