Easthampton Electrical Service is an electrical contractor in Easthampton. Its website says the business was founded in 1955 by Henry F. Mitowski and has since been handed down to his son David, and describes residential, commercial and industrial work. Its stated service area is Easthampton, Amherst, Springfield and Northampton. A 2015 article on businesswest.com said the company expanded from its roots in residential work to commercial customers, especially large apartment complexes. A 2016 article on gazettenet.com quoted Tucker as saying the company provided work as part of community support. A recent commenter on Reddit's r/northampton says Easthampton Electric fixed theirs out in the hills and did not charge as much as others. A 2023 customer said the company came out on short notice to restore power to their furnace, and that RJ later took care of their old knob and tube; that customer praised the communication and called the work thorough and fairly priced. A 2017 customer said the staff did a 10 point inspection, gave a reasonable estimate, completed the electrical work and made sure the customer was satisfied before leaving. A 2024 customer objected to a dispatch fee, another few hundred to diagnose, a flat fee regardless of whether the job took 10 minutes, and a request for five times the regular cost for a part. A 2021 customer said the company was hired for a $1k+ job but could not put in a smart switch as asked, on a visit rescheduled after the company broke the first appointment. A 2020 customer said they were quoted $9500 for a one-day project with at most $500 in materials.
“Easthampton electric fixed mine good out in the hills and didn't charge as much as others.”
“There has been a lot of support from the community, including work provided by Easthampton Electrical Service, Tucker said.”
“Easthampton Electrical Services, launched 60 years ago by Henry Mitowski, has always been entrepreneurial in nature, expanding from its roots in residential work to commercial customers, especially large apartment complexes.”
This is the most disappointing service I've had in the area. They charge a dispatch fee, when they show up they tell you it's another few hundred to diagnose, then it's an exorbitant flat fee regardless of whether it's 10 minutes or not, then they asked for five times the regular cost for a part. I know businesses have to survive, but this is taking advantage of people.
Very happy with the service I have received from these folks! They came out last winter on short notice to restore power to my furnace. RJ is great! This spring I had him take care of my old Knob and tube, great communication, thorough and fairly priced. No surprises! Highly recommend this company for your electrical needs!
tried to change one of the switch and fix few other things, hired for $1k+ job, and can't even put in smart switch like asked for. thought this was electric company who should able to work and get the job done, but I guess they can't handle the electric job like it shown. + this was rescheduled visit breaking the first appointment from company.
I am still blown away at the ridiculous estimate I got. They must have a $750 per man hour charge. One day project is $9500 with at most $500 in materials. I will never recommend them in fact, I will make sure everyone knows not to waste their time.
Generally speaking, I do not rate/review companies, but this time I want share my experience: Easthampton Electric staff who was very professional, friendly and helpful. They did the 10 point inspection, they gave me an estimate which was reasonable, after I agreed with it, they completed their electrical work, and they made sure that I was satisfied with their service before leaving. I have to say that Their service is exemplary. Thank you R Jay & Carl for exceptional service. I will highly recommend.
