Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

We call John and his team for all of our electric work. Nicholas Electric was recommended to me years ago by my friend Brian after they rewired his entire house. They’re alway punctual, professional, and do a great job at an excellent price. From big jobs- all new basement lighting - to small jobs they always respond to my requests. They just installed a ceiling fan with remote in my hallway in less than an hour. My husband would still be unpacking the box. Highly recommend!

I have a 100 year old home in Squirrel Hill that had the original knob and tube wiring.
I chose Nicholas Electric to re-wire the entire home. I was 100% satisfied with the work they did. They stuck to the original estimate despite the fact that old homes are full of surprises and difficulties. The workers were always on time and were a pleasure to deal with. Since the work was done I've had no problems whatsoever.
As the owner of an old house I've had to deal with many different types of contractors. I wish they could all be as reliable, professional, and trustworthy as Nicholas Electric!

Great service! Needed an outlet replace from water getting in it. Nicholas Electric Co upgraded this to a gfi outlet which is safe to prevent future issues. Also ensured a clear and safe space under the outlet.

The folks at Nicholas replaced knob and tube in our older home. Not only did they finish the job ahead of schedule, but they went above and beyond to ensure our home was neat and tidy every day. Other electricians told us the job would be so messy we could not even consider living at home during the work. Tim and his crew were so careful and clean that we really had no trouble living in the house while they worked. Communication was excellent throughout the project. They did every piece of the job as we expected and accommodated small changes as needed. We absolutely love the outdoor ceiling fan they added for us on the porch. If you’re looking to replace knob and tube or do other large electrical projects, I can’t recommend Nicholas highly enough. I wish I could give more than five stars!!!

John and his team gave a great price to rewired my early 1900 home. I would like to thank the crew for the GREAT service in a timely fashion. The professionalism and knowledge of what needed done was nice to have. Keep up the great work and have a great one.

This review is long overdue but Jim, John and all of their guys did a GREAT job when we had a knob and tube issue at our house. They did the initial inspection, talked us through the dangers/options and came in with the lowest estimate. Throughout the process they were very professional and timely. They also did a nice job installing a ceiling fan and some new light fixtures. If we need any more electrical work done, Nicholas Electric are the only guys we will call!

Nicholas Electric completed a total rewire of our very large 110 year old house, removing all knob and tube connections and bringing all electrical wiring and fixtures up to code. In addition, they upgraded our service to 400 amps. During the multi-month process, co-owner John Bird and his workers were the epitome of what a major contractor should be -responsive, thoughtful, quality work, easy to talk with. This was a very challenging project. Our old house resists change and the plaster and brick construction makes any work inside walls and ceilings very difficult. Mark, the project lead, did an exemplary job, not only ensuring code compliance and proper function, but also taking great care to minimize plaster damage. His attention to detail makea sure things look right as well as work right. Mark was always positive, providing alternatives and solutions when confronting with challenging situations. We easily passed our inspections with no issues. We wholeheartedly most strongly recommend Nicholas Electric for any electrical work.

Had Nicholas Electric for a 4 week project to rewire a 140 year old house from knob and tube to bring it up to code. The estimate I received was fair and less than half of any other estimate that I received from other electric companies for the same project. Nothing but good things to say about the work, whenever I would get involved the crew was already 2 steps ahead of me and it was nice not having to get too involved and know everything was being done correctly.

I've been meaning to write this review for a few months now, 10/10⭐. This was a stress free, seamless transaction from start to finish. John the Foreman was very informative, friendly, and answered all our questions thoroughly and professionally (and so we could understand easily in lamens terms), and got us scheduled as quick as possible when our first electrician continuously and then completely blew us off. He also kept me abreast with scheduling, info about the impending appt., etc., and responded in a timely fashion always.

Drew and his crew were the guys that came out. We left the key with them ahead of appt., and they were so on time that they actually even got there earlier than scheduled, first thing in the morning! 👍 They were just so professional and efficient. They even installed some outlets we needed after the main job was completed (that we pre discussed if they had time) .

My inspector (who seemed very strict) was also very pleased with their work immediately looking at it, he was impressed right away, (which spoke volumes to me given our previous discussions before hiring Nicolas) . Even as a lay person, I could tell they did everything tiptop. This inspector also recommended them to another client he was working with that day across town!

💲Cost wise, they were very comparable to the other few quotes we initially received, I'd say the majority were all within $500 of one another for the main job. In the end, they we're the best value all the way around. I would definitely recommend this company to others. They're not going to rip you off and they're going to do a great job and not cut any corners, which is what you want when dealing with something as serious as electricity (and dealing with a third party inspector that has to pass you). You can just sit back and know they're doing what you hired them to do, the right way, and have peace of mind that your family will be safe after the job is complete.

I plan to give them another call when we replace some of the fixtures/add fans, and install the dedicated lines for the portable acs/heaters. Definitely give these guys a call, you will be glad you did. I only wish that some of the other contractors I've dealt with in other areas/trades were as professional, trustworthy and efficient as these guys. Thank you Nicholas E. Co., truly!

I have been DIYing my house and a few things got too complicated for myself. So I've been trying to get an electrician out here since September. I reached out to Nicholas Electric Co and got a swift response back from Jim the same day (no other electricians responded back to my inquiries). Jim came out and fixed all of the issues in no time. I'd recommend them and would use them again.

We had an excellent experience with Nicholas Electric. They returned my initial call promptly, and squeezed us in to fix an urgent issue. We had a list of other electrical work which John promptly returned a quote for. He was patient in answering all my questions, and a very reliable communicator.

On the day we arranged for the rest of the work, his crew showed up exactly on time, and unprompted put on masks and laid out a ground cloth to keep our floors clean. They efficiently went about our list, keeping us updated on their progress and again answering our questions thoroughly. Everyone on the crew seemed highly skilled and professional. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
