When a customer lost power, they called Dave, and he got the power company out quickly to fix the problem. Nichols & Son Electric LLC describes itself as a family-owned electrical business that has been at it for almost three decades, and its website lists a service area that includes Franklin, Windham, Columbia, Colchester, Norwich, Salem and Hartford. Its Connecticut electrician license, ELC.0104296-E1, is active on the state registry, with David A Nichols Sr as the holder of record. The Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ grade. A customer with an electrical project said the planning was clear and organized from the start, and that the company coordinated directly with their carpenter and the power company. That customer said the work was done neatly, everything was left clean and tidy, and the pricing was fair. A 2024 customer said Dave and his apprentice in training came to look at work in their 1840s house, that he made sure the customer understood aspects of the home's electric system, and that he knew the laws and permits that go with the work. A 2023 customer said he was neat, on time and informative about the work he did. A 2022 customer said they had trusted many electrical needs to Dave and his team at a fair price.
Called Dave as we lost power and he was fantastic in getting the power company here quickly to fix the problem. He is smart, professional and went above and beyond to get our power back on. Highly recommend as he is a knowledgeable electrician.
Nicols & Son goes above and beyond when it comes to customer satisfaction. The planning process was clear, specific, and well organized from the beginning. They also coordinated directly with the other professionals involved in our electrical project, including our carpenter and the power company, which made the entire process much easier for us. The work was completed neatly and professionally, and everything was left clean and tidy. Their pricing is also very fair for the quality of service and level of attention they provide. We had an excellent experience from start to finish and would highly recommend Nicols & Son to anyone looking for a reliable, professional electrician.
Dave and his apprentice in training came over to look at some work being completed in my home. He is not only a business man full of years of experience, but very personable and I was in awe of how he taught his apprentice while he guided me through different areas of my 1840’s house electrical situation. He was knowledgeable in his expertise, but also of the laws and permits that go along with this work. He took time to make sure I understood aspects of my homes electric system. He was respectful, timely and very fair priced.
Good electrician all around. He’s done work for me and people I know. Would recommend! Is very neat and great to work with. He always is on time and very informative on the work he does
We have trusted our many electrical needs to Dave and his team. Have always been treated fairly and confident it was done right at a fair price. We couldn’t be more pleased with his service and friendship.
