Eric J Pohlmeyer Licensed Electrician

Sixty ratings averaging 4.8, and the jobs behind them are almost all small ones: a ceiling fan that needs hanging, a bathroom vent that quit, a run of outlets that stopped working. Eric J Pohlmeyer works out of Peabody, and the half-day electrical call is clearly where his week goes. The praise is unusually concrete for work that size. An August 2025 customer had two ceiling fans and two new outlets put in and said the job was done well. That May, another described a 14-foot-ceiling chandelier going up without drama. In an April 2025 review a homeowner said the exhaust fan went in cleanly and that he then fixed a flickering switch in the same bathroom for free; a December 2024 customer said he replaced a bath fan that needed extra cutting to fit, plus wall outlets with USB, and everything worked. Price comes up as often as the work does. A December 2024 homeowner had quotes from another electrician and said Pohlmeyer's was by far the most reasonable, and that he cleaned up when he finished. A November 2024 customer said he tested and fixed a socket outage, then handled a couple of extra things they hadn't mentioned and charged reasonably for all of it. A February 2025 customer just wanted GFCI outlets and ended up with a stove and washer-dryer moved out of the way to do it properly. The thing to pin down is scheduling, and it's the one complaint that repeats. In a March 2025 Angi review a homeowner laid out the sequence: a Friday appointment cancelled thirty minutes ahead for an emergency job, a Sunday-morning reschedule that came and went through two texts and two unanswered calls, an 11am callback promising 1:30, and then no show. Five years earlier, a BuildZoom reviewer writing in October 2020 told a shorter version of the same story — told the job could be done, then a week of calls that went unreturned. A July 2025 customer rated the work one star and called it a bad job. So: for the fan, the fixture, the panel of outlets — the sort of call a larger shop deprioritizes — the written history runs deep and recent, and reviewers keep saying the price was fair and the site was left clean. Confirm the appointment the morning of, and get the quote pinned down before he starts.
