I used CapnJon's recommendation for an electrician and I have to say that I totally agree with his assessment of Avolar, Inc.
I had a small job where my under-counter light needed to be removed and a new fixture installed. Edgard showed up exactly when promised and charged exactly what I was quoted. He is a very smart and pleasant man. I wouldn't hesitate to employ him again.
Thanks again CapnJon!

I strongly recommend Cedric Pritchett, who is based in the Heights (201-744-8946).

He's responsive, professional, honest, and extremely fair when it comes to cost. Also a funny guy, which never hurts.

I've had him help with a few projects, and will definitely continue to look to him for electrical work.

Can anyone recommend a trustworthy, not too expensive electrician--just to fix a fickle switch? Tired of the lights turning off spontaneously.

Hello,

I need a hide the power chord of my wall mounted tv and have a cable mangement kit that does NOT involve direct wiring into the circuit.

Installation seems a simple DIY but I would rather have a professional do it because it includes connecting wires between the kit's two receptacles.

Tried reaching Avolar, but they admitted that they are booked for a few weeks with bigger jobs.

Any recommendation for an electrician who doesn't mind doing such small jobs?

Thanks!

I just had some electrical done by Avolar (Edgard). He was great and did a flawless and quick job running two new outlets for me.

http://www.avolar.us/

He's very professional, and explained lots of things to me to help me better understand the electrical set up for our house, something i was never comfortable with in the first place.

I will definitely use him for any future projects!

Thinking this may be a job for an electrician and looking for recommendations in general...
i want to connect my verizon FIOS, which comes into the house on the second floor to the third and first floors. I'm looking for an alternative to verizon drilling more holes into the exterior brick, such as an electrician or electrician-type who can strategically run the cable through the floor and ceiling.

I'd recommend Avolar (Edgard). He did a great job running two new monorail tracks each with a 250W power budget and dimmer switch. The job took 4-5 hours.

He's very professional and reliable.

Over the years, I have used G-F Electric. Call Mark at (201) 332-4928.

He is very expensive but shows up promptly, gets the job done, and I have had zero problems afterwards with functionality or approvals.

I have used cheaper people in the past and paid the consequences.

We used a guy named Morgan and I think the company name is Kite & Key - excellent electrician and not over priced.
Office - 201-230-9196 - highly recommend.

Does anyone have a phone number for Avolar (http://www.avolar.us/)?

Called someone at Millennium Electric & Alarm in Hoboken who was extremely difficult to talk to and rude.

EDIT: I did just find this. It's 201-222-0148 for anyone else looking.

Just called, and they could not have been more helpful or friendly.

I live in a 6 unit condo building and we used Avolar to replace our intercom system. It wasn't working at all. His work was good. There was a problem with one of the intercoms and he worked on it until it was fixed.

I used Dan Harris from Harris Electric in JC for some work in my condo - he was very good. You can Google him for his website.

Get this installed by a telephone guy: http://www.vikingelectronics.com/Products/view_product.php?pid=25

No phone co line needed, all internal to the building and uses the existing phone lines. You can even program entry codes for UPS and such. Locksmiths like Monaco don't even know it exists! I've had it problem free for 8 years, and I didn't even spring for the fancy vandalproof panel, just hung a $5 phone in the entryway.

Hello JC Listers.

Can anybody recommend a good electrician who can install a door intercom / buzzer system.

My condo building is an 8 unit building. The system we had stopped working and needs to be replaced.

I know there are these new phone systems, but I don't want the condo association to have to get a phone line with local and long distance being up to 40 bucks a month.

Thanks.

I agree. I had them do some work for me this summer, very professional. One thing to note though is that electricians don't really patch the holes they make in the walls or ceilings. It was fine for me because i was doing some remodeling anyhow, but you need to plan on that part.

Just bought a new electrical stove and dishwasher for my condo, which hasn't been renovated since the 80's. Sears dropped it off today and went to install the stove only to find that there's no outlet behind the stove, the damn thing is hardwired into the wall. So I need to have an electrical outlet installed in it's place (haven't checked yet to see the if the dishwasher is hardwired as well).

Any suggestions for good electricians who do such small jobs?

You better check with your condo association for the building guidelines. How long have you owned this condo, I ask because the building inspector you used when you purchased the condo should have picked up this flaw.


Then find an electrician with a time machine since Bot's post is over a year old. I recommend Mulvey Electric, (732) 469-5797. Rick's guy all have Flux capacitors in their vans.

We just used Harris Electric who was recommended to us from several people in our building. Harris just completed a day's work in our place and I am so highly recommending him.

We had 5 ceiling lights put in our bathroom and a ceiling fan in the living room and one chandelier that needed adjustment. Sounds like no big job, but Harris and his man did all this to perfection in ~9 hours and everything looks and works perfectly. Harris is down to earth guy and also very professional. He went over our wants and needs and gave us feedback and suggestions. He also answered any and all questions we had via email and sent us links and images and spec sheets of anything we asked about. Harris has done a lot of work in the Jersey City area. I definitely recommend this guy for any electrical needs you have. He's awesome.

Look for Teng and tell him Heidi referred you. I already mentioned your post to him.

I am NOT looking for a licensed electrician. I am looking for someone that works for a licensed electrician that does jobs on the side. Can anyone recommend someone for extra small jobs?
