Eric J Pohlmeyer Licensed Electrician

Eric Pohlmeyer is a Peabody electrician for the small jobs — a ceiling fan, a bath exhaust fan, a run of GFCI outlets, a chandelier hung at 14 feet — and 60 Angi ratings averaging 4.8 say he does them fast, cleanly and for less than the other quote. His Massachusetts electrician licence (#53761) is active on the state registry. Angi lists the business as veteran-owned with 21 years of experience, and BuildZoom counts 154 permitted projects, ten of them in the last three years. The recent reviews are a run of fan and fixture work. In 2025, customers described two ceiling fans and two outlets installed in a visit, a burned-out fan motor diagnosed and replaced on the spot, a bathroom fan replacement that needed extra cutting to fit, and a kitchen fixture swap quoted over the phone and scheduled inside the customer's window. One February 2025 homeowner asked for GFCI upgrades and got the stove and washer-dryer moved to reach the outlets behind them; an April 2025 customer had an exhaust fan installed and a flickering switch fixed for free. A December 2024 reviewer had quotes from another electrician and found Eric's by far the most reasonable, and a November 2024 customer with dead sockets had the fault traced and fixed the next day, plus extras at a reasonable charge. The complaints are about showing up. In a March 2025 review, a customer said Eric cancelled a Friday appointment by text 30 minutes beforehand for an emergency, rescheduled for Sunday morning, and then never appeared or answered two texts. A 2020 BuildZoom reviewer said he agreed to a job, then didn't return a week of calls. A July 2025 reviewer gave one star with only the words 'very bad job.' BuildZoom also carries an 'unpaid debt' alert on his profile, without detail. For a fan, fixture or outlet job priced fairly and done in one visit, the people who got Eric to the door from 2024 through this spring were pleased. Confirm the appointment the morning of, and have a backup plan if the text goes unanswered.
