I needed a light switch replaced. They arrived exactly when they said they would, they were so friendly & polite & they finished the job quickly & inexpensively. I will definitely use them again!

We needed a breaker panel replaced. Jeff and his guys Jay and Jose did a good job. I expected to have to do some patching up around it, but it was already just right. Thanks Jeff!

About half the lights on my house stopped working and when I started calling electricians most of them were booked a month out. One of the companies I called recommended Jeff. Jeff answered the phone, quoted a reasonable hourly rate and got his guys in to fix the problem in less than a week. His guys were very professional, friendly and efficient. They fixed the issue and I also had them install/replace several light fixtures since I already had them there. Unfortunately the lights went out again a few days later so Jeff sent his guys back out within a day. They diagnosed a separate issue on the same electrical line and fixed it at no charge since they had just been out. This kind of customer service is exactly what I look for in a good company and I have been extremely happy with the results of their work since then. I will definitely call Jeff again if I have any new electrical needs and can happily recommend them.

It took a bit of effort (3 calls/texts) to get my repair job scheduled, but once it was, everything went well. What I thought would be a 1-2 hour job turned out to take 3.5 hours. The crew of 2 electricians were thorough and checked out every aspect of my pool pump system, replacing some parts that were in bad shape. They seem to know their stuff and when they left I had a working pool pump.

""What else could you want?"" Well, I would have liked it if they had the expertise to actually solve my problem - which was later solved by someone competent. They charged me $125 to ""trouble shoot"", but were wrong about what the problem was. In fact, their proposed ""solution"" was very expensive. So they don't know much about solar. They would probably be o.k. with hooking up a new system according to instructions.

(The guy I hired after them went up on the roof and badda-bing, fixed part of my problem by bypassing a damaged panel. (He figured out which one it was by looking at it.) The guy came back, and at a reasonable rate, was able to solve 2 more problems with the panels, and actually get my power generation up to something reasonable.)

BUT NOT THIS GUY.. THIS GUY DID NOT DO SQUAT, and charged me $125 for a wrong diagnosis.

Wow! First they answered their phone, a must. Second they were on time, another plus. They were knowledgeable and fast AND didn't leave a mess. Plus they were reasonably priced. What else could want...

Of the four electricians I was referred to by a local lighting shop, Jeff was the only one that actually answered the phone when I called (positive sign #1!) and was able to schedule the installation of 4 light fixtures the following week (positive sign #2!). His crew arrived on time, were very polite and did the job quickly and efficiently (positive sign #3!) Jeff even stopped by to ensure everything was going well and to give us estimates on some other light projects. His fee was reasonable (the best possible sign!) and I will happily work with him again and refer him to anyone looking for a great electrician!

I got recess lighting, a fan & a new plug point installed. They did a great job but no drywall patchup afterwards. I wanted to get more electrical work done but have been impossible to get hold off after multiple texts/calls.

We regularly use Alternative Power and Electric for our commercial wiring needs. Their crew does professional work quickly and the owner, Jeff, ensures that the client is buffered from the details. I have referred them to other commercial accounts - especially those with challenging situations that need to be resolved correctly and quickly. I have used them since 2008 and highly recommend them.

I have called upon Jeff and his crew to fix some electrical issues in my building. Each time they were knowledgeable, straightforward, efficient, friendly, and the charges were fair and thoroughly explained.
