After another company tried three times to resolve my issue, Eric came the day I called and quickly diagnosed what turned out to be a simple problem. He was friendly, professional, and affordable. They've gained a customer for good. Services: Light fixture repair, Installation

Eric was above and beyond. He got straight to work and figured out the problem. He fixed and charged a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend him to anyone. People like him are rare.

Eric recently installed a plug for a dryer in our house and I couldn't be happier with his work. He was on time and professional, its rare to find contractors of this caliber in 2020. The work he did was reasonably priced and done right, he is my go to electrician from here on out without a doubt.

Eric arrived early and got straight to troubleshooting the issue. Took him less than 5 minutes to find the major problem. Added another thing for him to look at. He dove in further, checking the breaker box and terminals outside from the source. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Any further electrical issues, I'll be calling again.

Eric did electrical work throughout our entire house, from installation of ceiling fans to new pot lights, and his work is excellent and efficient. Additionally, he has come to help us for several acute issues and is timely in his responses and has fixed the problems quickly. He is reliable and trustworthy, and excellent at what he does. Couldn't have higher praise for someone!

Eric Smith came to my home on a cold miserable day and had my lamp posts and my landscaping lights working properly in no time. He Replaced several light fixtures in our closets and light switches within the house. All work was done professionally, neatly and perfectly, despite the cold rainy weather! Highly recommend this electrician.

I called and the technician came right away. My chandelier had dropped down and I thought it would come crashing down any minute. He determined it wasn't actually an emergency and a very easy fix-turns out the kids had been playing with the key that controlled a mechanism that automatically lowers and raises the chandelier. We just moved in so we had no idea what this key did.

It literally just took a turn of the key to make the chandelier go back up. Even though he came on an emergency call, he didn't charge me! It's hard to find nice honest people like this these days. I will definitely use him in the future for any electrical work I need done!

I had a great experience with Eric at Capital District Electric. I live in Niskayuna, NY and contacted Eric to look at my Hot Tub, which stopped running and my Backup generator. After inspecting the hot tub wiring, he found the the ground fault was tripping. He quickly replaced the relay with a new one and it still tripped and thereby determined the fault was in the heating and control unit in the hot tub.

This ultimately got replaced and all was working again. The LED on the Generator was not illuminating, after testing the power-on cycling and timers, he identified a loose wire in the control panel. The connections were tightened and all was working back to normal. I would highly recommend Eric and Capital District Electric.
