Lots of broken promises and no shows. Great price quoted but quality of work was bad. We canceled work as we unfortunately lost confidence and there were too many no shows. Next contractor went over work already done and had to redo work as wiring in attic was not up to code and could have caused a fire. It's a shame as they are nice on a personal level but would never use again or recommend. <br />
Response from Ben Franklin Electric
"This customer contacted us to do electrical work at his home. They totally expected to be moved in within 5 days. We started the work so the rest of the trades carpenters, drywaller and hardwood floor contractors could finish and wouldn't be behind themselves. We are so busy and couldn't jump through there loops to get back for there schedule. They had so many existing wiring issues from someone in the past through-out the attic and maybe in the finished basement which is covered with drywall. They should not belame us for not fixing those serious issues since they didn't want to pay for there repairs. I explained all the poor and dangerous wiring but they chose to pay the thousands of dollars to fix past problems.This is public now information and if they ever had a fire, God forbid their insurance company will know plus they have little kids and as parents should address these issues. IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY. In closing they are nice people but expected more then we could offer about our schedule. It wouldn't be fair for other customers to wait either."

Work required some repositioning of existing breakers and replacement of others with miniature breakers.  Bill and Matt identified a in worng-branded circuit breaker  (not meant for my brand of panel) and confirmed with me that it should be replaced.  (A previous electrician had down quite a bit of work in the panel separate from this incorrect breaker, but never mentioned the incompatibility.)   <br /> Bill and Matt were punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.  The work went very well and was wrapped-up and checked-over in short-time.  <br /> I am very pleased as my experience was excellent. <br />

The completed job was well done, however getting the job done took many phone calls and emails in an effort to get a response. <br />

Bill is a nice guy, very fun to talk to, very upbeat.  I had considered making him my go-to electrician, since I have some future wiring needs to finish out a basement. <br />  However, after he left, I noticed my whole-house humidifer was no longer working like it had been prior to the new furnace installation (ie only coming on when the furnace runs).  To his credit, Bill came back and checked it out and together we determined he needed to install a relay to put everything back in order.  He told me twice he'd "get to it tomorrow" only to drop the ball and not return my calls.  I'm generally pretty forgiving and gave him  the benefit of the doubt on multiple occasions, but anyone that I need to continually chase down and pester is probably not an appropriate choice for a regular "go-to" electrician. <br /> I hesitated to write this review, hoping he'd get back to me, but it's been over a month, and I'm still without my humdifier at the time of year when I need it most.  The furnace is working great, but alas, no humidity.   <br /> Hopefully Bill, you'll read this and come install my relay to get my system back to what it was.  I'd be willing to remove this review if we can get that accomplished. <br /> Many thanks. <br /> <br />

Got it done in one long day. Price way under competition for well recommended furnace. Pleasant guy. Some sloppy sheet metal work. Satisfied with product and performance and had him do same job for my daughter's home. <br />

Bill Mazowski (Owner) is one of the more inspiring professionals and individuals I've recently encountered.  He solved my problem, along with several others, of which I would have remained oblivious.  And he only charged me the flat rate that was quoted on the website.  I would recommend Ben Franklin to anyone seeking quality service with an honorable owner.  Thanks! <br />

He arrived on time, performed the work quickly, cleaned up after himself and was in-and-out in the amount of time he said he would be.   Very friendly too.  Very helpful.  I will definitely use him again.

great, they're a little bit busy so not too good on callbacks and stuff, but once they showed up the job was done right and quickly.

He had a lot of knowledge and for the most part showed up when he said he was going to. If he was not able to make it or something unexpected came up, he would call. Overall, he did an okay job, but there were lights that were installed in closets. He had someone that he subcontracted to come in and help him and he had this guy work on the lights in the closet with no direction. I was not asked to remove anything from the closet and there was nothing draped to protect anything in the closet and there were plaster ceilings. This guy was drilling and we had to send stuff to cleaners and still find plaster dust everywhere.

There were no surprises after work was done. I always call them for electrical service.
