A 2019 customer said Collins Electric installed recessed lights in a dark basement family room, measuring the spacing and testing each light's position and direction. The 2019 customer also described Wi-Fi-enabled smart dimmer switches for interior and exterior lights, allowing phone control, automatic schedules and preset lighting scenes. In that 2019 account, the customer praised Ron's responsiveness and help with product questions, and said Ron and his crew left the home clean.
I found Collins Electric by browsing local town community pages on Facebook looking for recommendations others have posted, Collins was one of three I contacted because they came up with the most recommendations, but Ron was the most responsive, so he's my guy! Ron has been very accessible and helpful to me to answer questions when doing my own product research, plus they can offer great products through Electrical Supply in Wakefield (they're also very helpful). They installed recessed lights in my dark basement family room, making it beautiful and welcoming. They meticulously measured for spacing, tested the position and direction of each light for perfect placement. I could not be happier. They also installed wi-fi-enabled smart dimmer switches for new and old exterior and interior lights that allow me to control everything with my phone, schedule automatic on/off timings, randomized activity when traveling so my home appears occupied, and create preset scenes to get the perfect lighting levels with one touch. Ron and his crew did a great job with everything and left my home clean. I highly recommend Collins Electric!
