Lou's Electric Services

Oct 2020

I was looking for an electrician that was fair & honest; but also, specialized in working on older homes. Lou was this electrician down to the T. Yes, they do charge a slight fee for an estimate; however, it is not a scam. I had four other electricians come to my home and give me free estimates, but not one of them educated me or gave the great suggestions which Lou provided. He explained where we could save money by avoiding unnecessary and expensive upgrades to the system while also adding in features; such as, switched outlets on either side of our sofa’s and couches. Furthermore, he explained the requirements of the current electrical code and why we needed other features for safety concerns and bringing our wiring up to the current code. Because of Lou’s honesty and knowledge we decided to hire him to replace our old knob and tube wiring. Lou and his son, Rob, arrived to our house everyday and were extremely skilled at their chosen profession. Unlike the other electrical contractors, which I previously mentioned, Lou and Rob stated they could replace the wiring with minimal patch work. I had one electrician state they needed to open up the walls and remove all of our original wood baseboard molding and that we would be responsible for any and all patches which were needed. With plaster walls in a lot of older homes like mine this would have cost a fortune to patch or replace. Fortunately, Lou and Rob were experienced enough to add multiple switches, outlets, and overhead lighting with only the holes required for the electrical boxes and lighting fixtures. They did this by neatly and expertly removing and replacing the second floor’s hardwood floors and finding concealed wiring access points to and from our basement and attic. With all their hard-work we now get to enjoy our home even more with all the new safe indoor and outdoor outlets and lighting. Lastly, Lou and Rob were respectful not just to our home but to my wife and 6-year-old daughter which Lou constantly joked with and made smile! For these and all the reasons I stated above I would 100% refer Lou and his son’s to anyone looking for electrical work.

Extraordinary service! Lou took my call in the evening and after a few diagnostic questions decided our safety was paramount. He and his son came out on one of the coldest nights in decades to rescue us from a fire waiting to happen - the main breaker burned out on the control panel. They were thoughtful, careful and courteous while assessing the situation and then creating a safe temporary solution to bridge us through a few days. As soon as they could, they were back to replace the entire panel. We could not be more grateful! We trust Lou's Electric services with our lives.
