Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).

Stephen replaced three outdoor lighting fixtures for us: a sidewalk post lantern, a similar deck wall sconce, and a similar front porch hanging pendant fixture. In addition, he had to dig a trench and insert a wire to connect the sidewalk lantern to a light sensor attached to the front of the house. He is an excellent electrician, but just as importantly, he is an awesome young man (I am a "senior," so practically everyone is young to me). He is professional, friendly, prompt, thorough, knowledgable, polite, communicative, and priced right! I very, very strongly recommend that you consider Steven Whealan for all of your indoor and outdoor electrical needs. Obviously, I cannot say enough about Stephen's great work and his professional service! He is awesome!
If we could give 10 stars to Stephen, we absolutely would! We had an electrical fire (due to a faulty de-humidifier) in our crawlspace and after securing the scene, the Fire Department recommended we have an electrician come out ASAP (since our breaker box hadn't tripped as it should have). We didn't have an electrician, so we asked our plumber and he highly recommended Stephen Whealan. Stephen responded promptly to our text, and came to our home within 2 hours of the Fire Department leaving. He did a safety check of our entire home (which was very reassuring!), and then chatted with us about our options. (And it truly was a conversation - he was really great about answering all of our questions and explaining everything clearly.) Given our electric panel was older than all of us (and again, it hadn't tripped like it should have), it was definitely time for a re-boot! Stephen provided several quotes (which was very appreciated) and outlined clearly the upsides/downsides of each approach. (We also appreciated that - given we were so shaken - he could have absolutely 'upsold' us. But he didn't at all. In fact, he steered us away from a few much more expensive and unnecessary solutions that we asked about.) He was incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and friendly. We felt instantly comfortable with him and his expertise. Stephen and his team (Bryan and Andrew) were able to come that Saturday for the job. Over the next 6 hours or so, Stephen, Bryan, and Andrew worked brilliantly together and were an absolute delight. They were professional, thorough, and left the worksite super tidy. Once the install was complete, Stephen took time to explain the new system to us. We really can't recommend Stephen enough! We not only now have a very safe and updated electrical panel for our home, but we definitely have an electrician for life now too. Finally, we were so giddy that we promised Stephen a poem in our review. So here we go: Our wiring was shocking in all the wrong ways, But Stephen came through and brightened our days! He fixed every circuit, each outlet and light; So five stars for Stephen and for our house not igniting tonight! 🎉
Steve was very personable and knowledgeable. He diagnosed switching problem and fixed it on the spot. Made recommendations for other proposed work. Will be sending an estimate.
Stephan came out within 2 hours of contacting him after a power outage And something was wrong with our panel, which he figured out right away. He’s trustworthy, knowledgeable, and we will definitely be calling him again.
Very personable and knowledgeable Efficient and prompt Seemed very professional, I will use again
