AC Electric

Art gave us a quote for electrical work on our recently renovated home. he used fear mongering to try to scam us into $60K worth of electrical work. we had three other specialists including an inspector and two licensed electricians provide their opinions and ultimately the job cost us less than $600.

Art Lawrence definitely provides elite, professional electrical service. Any type of electrical work you need completed, Art is the one for the job. He is also a specialist at what is called electrical troubleshooting. He really knows his stuff and his pricing is very fair. Art is also fun to work with. Highly recommended!

I had commissioned AC electric for a large electric job lasting more than 2 weeks to do some major repairs to my house. While the progress was good initially, they started doing other projects in the middle and skipping work at my project. After 80% of the project is done they have now gone missing for almost 2 weeks now. Emails and calls to them are resulting in no answers about how and when they would finish the work.
I understand they are going through some issues on their side, my project and move in date is now delayed by weeks with no line of sight to when the project will be completed.
I would definitely not recommend them for an electric project to anybody.

Worst ""service"" ever. Called after having used this company in past. Past service was years ago and was good. Years later, total waste of time. Owner's wife stopped by to take pictures of job, commenting she was on her way to visit grandchildren. Visit was chatty and lengthy. She called owner and discussed job, price was discussed as well as many other non relevant things. I was under time crunch due to a move in date on an unfinished home. Debbie never followed up with me after a couple weeks. I emailed her more than once and was told they would try for the following week, working on it, hard to say....blah blah, but to ""hold on"" and no promises. I was happy to wait for the right company, but after weeks of no update and again having to initiate the effort to get service, I gladly moved on to a company that came in 2 days and completed work quickly and neatly. The wife running the business and stonewalling didn't work for me.

AC Electric has been out to my rental property multiple times over the past 5 years to perform COPALUM repairs on my aluminum wiring. They also assisted me with a kitchen renovation, helping me to replace aluminum wiring, adding new copper dedicated 20A circuits and install new LED undercabinet lights in the kitchen. Most recently they demolished my old 1969 electrical service entry on my rental property and re-installed a new one. They worked with my siding contractor to make sure the rotted siding was replaced behind the panels before they installed the new service. AC Electric brought by a loaner gas generator to keep our refrigerators & internet running overnight while the power was off. Photos are shown below of the service entry BEFORE and AFTER. I'm a picky client and their team has always done a quality job for a fair price.

Setting up the appointment was great, and Debi was very friendly.

However, I can't really rate the quality of work, because the guy never showed up! No call, no followup to reschedule, nothing. Thanks for wasting my time

I'm going to update my review once more here. I still can't say that I am happy with my experience--we were ultimately left with a job that was incomplete. However Debi did call me after my update and was very apologetic. She did not ask me to change my review, simply acknowledged that they fell short and apologized, and I felt it was sincere. They're a small family business and it sounds like personal events in their life disrupted the work.

So I guess what I would say is that if you want to support a local family business and avoid the big companies then I would still recommend AC. I hope my experience was a rare miss and they are able to get back to the quality service that I had heard about.

I don't think I've ever had a home service company I've actually liked, but AC Electric has changed my attitude. Mike Short and his crew exceed expectations every time I use them. Our older home has aluminum wiring, and when we bought it, ten years ago, AC Electric was one of the few companies with the expertise to fuse the aluminum and copper wires in a safe manner. We had them fix up every connection in the house and have been using them ever since. Once Mike came out to fix a faulty fuse and knew our home layout better than us - reminded me that a corner cabinet was placed in front of a GFI outlet that tripped and was the cause of the outage. This weekend, we took a ceiling fan/light down and saw some aluminum wiring and a handyman couldn't do the job. AC Electric is out here making sure every fan is tied in safely with the aluminum wiring, for free because Mike says if they missed it then, they are finishing the job right TEN YEARS LATER! Talk about a long term commitment to customer service! They are friendly on the phone, prompt when they say they'll arrive and get the job done right. Stop wasting your time looking for an electrician and get hooked up for life with AC Electric, they're the only guys I'll be using.

I needed a new service entry for a 1958 house and I'd give them five stars for that $1,600 job. Owner Mike was great to deal with, as was his wife Debbie.

I called them after that for a circuit breaker that kept opening and I couldn't understand what was causing that. Debbie was as nice as ever, but wouldn't schedule with me now because of the distance from their house to mine. Said she'd pencil me in on the calendar for a service call, meaning when it was convenient for AC. The Friday before Memorial Day, Debbie called to tell me her electrician would make a call on Memorial Day since it was on his way out of town. I waited all day, no call, no show. I took care of the problem another way after weeks had passed.

The cable stay for the new electrical service AC installed pulled out of the roof. It was a short lag screw that had only penetrated some shingles, very unsafe and useless in providing the required support for a long run of heavy cable from the street. I've called AC twice and had to leave a message both times, without a return call from them. Kind of leaves me no choice but to post my experience.

I don't know what to make of such a reversal of service, weeks long waits, not showing when they schedule, and most critically, not fixing the hanging mast support cable that wasn't installed properly.

Mike did a fantastic job installing the electrical needed for my new outdoor hot tub. First, Mike offered to stop by to provide me a quote in person at no charge, which I very much appreciated. Mike was very accomodating as my schedule changed and had great communication about the time and date for his service. He was professional, thorough, diligent in getting the job done. I also liked that he was friendly and kind. He did the work for the quoted price. I asked him to take a quick look at something else and he did without charge. He also gave me a few ideas about hot tub installation - totally out of his scope but he's just that kind of nice guy to help if he can. I strongly recommend Mike and will call him forever more if I ever need further electrical work.
