Middle of April I contacted Nicholas Electric Co. to come and check out why we didn't have any power in my grandsons room. John came and did a search into the outlets and ceiling fans. He said he would have to come back with a helper to check into the attic. A couple weeks went by and I finally contacted Nicholas to find out when John was coming back. He did contact me and said he was in the process of hiring a new helper and I would have to wait until the hiring process was over. He also seemed upset that I was questioning when he would be back to finish the job. Well that doesn't help that I have gone 6 weeks without power. I am sure the company has other helpers that could have gone with him to finish this job. I finally contacted another company and was very pleased with them. And their rates were very reasonable. I can't recommend this company because their was no follow through with a job they started, inconvenienced me and lack of professionalism.

Excellent timely service with polite employees

I highly recommend Nicholas Electric to anyone I know. My 80-year-old house has needed significant electrical updates. Big jobs: They replaced our service, rewired our basement, rewired our garage, including the underground line from the house to the garage. Smaller jobs: They added dedicated lines for our window air conditioners/ceramic heaters and outlets for our porch. We've had them in and out of the house for probably 10 years. Accurate estimates, work without a minimum of household disruption, careful to clean up afterwards. Wouldn't use anybody else.

WOW! A contractor that actually calls you back and shows up to do the work. We found Nicholas Electric to be very reliable, efficient, and reasonably priced. I do not know a thing about electrical work therefore it was such a relief to find a good electrical contractor. Personally I could not imagine using anybody else!

Nick and his crew provided exceptional service rewiring my 120 year old house about three years ago. Nick provided a comprehensive written estimate beforehand, documented each change I had with a written change order, and charged exactly what he said he would--no surprises. The crew appeared promptly each morning, conferred with me every day before starting, and worked diligently all day, every day until the job was finished. They were always up front about any problems they encountered, and were conscientious and respectful of my property, always being sure to keep entry points in the walls and floors as small as possible. They cleaned up at the end of every day and even corrected shoddy work that had been done by a past electrician at no extra charge. Their work passed the City's inspection process with flying colors. I recommend Nick and crew without reservation as a professional outfit that provides quality work at a reasonable price.

Nick, Jim and Greg have been invaluable in our renovation of a 1924 Chevy dealership into a 17000 sq. ft. dream live/work space. What I prize most about them is their integrity, honesty and desire to make good work. We're mixing the industrial skeleton of the building with some fairly cutting edge products and designs. I was able to explain the layout and designs to these guys, then leave them alone. If you need real craftsmen to help you realize your dreams, I can't recommend them highly enough.

I used Nicholas Electric to locate and repair an electrical dead short. The crew (led by John) was very competent and efficient in troubleshooting and fixing the problem. John displayed extensive knowledge while explaining the methodical process of finding the source of the problem. The work was excellent; the electricians were hard working and skilled problem solvers; Nick was very responsive with pricing info and scheduling; and, the price was fair. I strongly recommend the company.

These guys are amazing. They do all of my electrical work, AND my parents electrical work, AND my friends electrical work. They're friendly, efficient, organized, professional, and very familiar with any of the older homes in Pittsburgh. As far as pricing, it's very fair. These guys are just plain awesome.

Nicholas Electric has taking care of all our electrical needs since we purchased our house in Shadyside 7 years ago. The electricity of our house like many houses in this area had not been updated for some time. Nicholas Electric provided us with a very competitive proposal, performed the work according to the proposed schedule. For the past 7 years they have always been very responsive to any of our needs. They are very professional and ethical. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any one who expects their work to be performed with the highest standard. They are very good at what they do and if they are been asked to do something outside of their confident zone they do not hesitate to refer you to one of their colleagues. They clearly are in the business to establish a long term relationship with their clients.

We have used Nicholas Electric for both inside and outside electrical work. We own a 100 year old house and they are great problem solvers for our challenging electrical issues. They are professional, neat and they respond quickly. We used Nicholas Electric for our kitchen, bathrooms, garage, patio and installation of an electric panel.

Nick and his crew do careful, reasonably priced work. We've used them many times in the course of gradually rewiring our large, old house. They are easy to work with, give very detailed esimates, and have a lot of integrity: they do everything as agreed. They clearly know their stuff, and have often given us different options which worked better and controlled expenses. We've been amazed at how few holes they've managed to leave in the course of running new wiring.

Professional, friendly, responsible electrical contractors. They come when they say, they do what they say they will, they do a good job. Competitive rates. I wouldn't hesitate to hire these guys again.

Highly recommended due to concern for safety, efficiency, well trained and knowledgeable employees, work is backed by the company if any issues arise.

Nicholas Electric worked on updating the electrical system in our house that my husband and I recently bought. Nick was quick to return calls and email. His staff was extremely professional, knowledgeable, courteous, prompt and hardworking. Without a doubt the work was done right. I would highly recommend Nicholas Electric. They did a beautiful job! Ann M.

Was very happy with the work, very nice and respectful workers, came back promptly for follow-up , did not disappear after the work was done. Could not have been happier and would recommend and use them again.

I've used Nicholas Electric twice--once to rewire most of my old house and the second time to rewire the lights in the attic, a hot, dirty job up in the crawl space under the roof. Both times the guys from Nicholas Electric came when they said they would, did a great job, and left everything clean and neat. I recommend them highly.

Nicholas Electric has been a great company to work with. We had our house completely rewired and Nicholas Electric gave us a very fair and resonable price. The men that completed the job were friendly, professional and hard working. The owner was easily reached for questions and always responded quickly. We have recommended Nicholas Electris to everyone who has asked us if we knew an electrician. We will always call Nicholas Electric for our electrical needs!
