Recommended Customer Reviews

I have used Barger Electric for a few years now and they are by far my go to Electrician. I've used them to install recessed lighting and multiple ceiling fans on two of my homes. I've also had them install a new electrical panel and new electrical throughout my garage. They are very responsive and I had an issue with one light not dimming properly and they came and fixed it with no questions asked. Don't look any further for a great and very reasonable electrician.

Two years ago we did a partial kitchen remodel and spruced up the old homestead a bit with new paint, base boards, floor and cabinets refinishing. We also changed out some lighting and upgraded all of our outlets. The work was done by a contractor we knew and his referred electrician. Shortly after the work was done (and everything looked great) we began having trouble with three outlets in the kitchen sometimes they worked and most times they didn't. After the contractor checked it twice and the electrician checked it twice, they blamed each other and stopped returning our calls! We lived without half of our kitchen outlets for at least 18 months until finally my wife had enough and suggested we call Barger, a local business that she'd noticed their trucks in the neighborhood. Rick is amazing! We called him yesterday and he came out today. In 20 minutes he'd identified the problem and in less than an hour, the work was done. The most disconcerting thing is that it was all due to a broken wire in the wall, the kind that burn down houses! Thank you Rick Barger for SAVING MY HOUSE!!! And all for just the price of a service call!

If you need electrical work, don't bother calling anyone else. They are busy because they are good. They made arrangements to take care of my electrical needs and made sure the job was perfect. If you want a professional job that's done right. Call them you be very happy that you did.

So finally I'm able to write a true review of Rick's work. I apologize that I didn't get this out sooner. Let me start by saying that Rick is a nice guy. He and his help Kyle were so great when they finally were able to come and do the work. The work was excellent, quality, and they were quick. Rick really knows his electrical. The price is right as well. We are throughly and finally able to enjoy the living room now that we have lights in there. Just a few things to note with this company. He needs to be have a calendar so he can book appointments when people are ready to book and call him. He seems a bit disorganized but is very knowledgable about the homes around the area he works in. He didn't need to come out and give me an estimate. The only other thing Rick did not explain to me is he does not repair drywall. If they have to cut into the drywall make sure you or you have someone to patch the drywall after the install of the recessed lights. I would definitely recommend Barger Electric.

I am a long time customer of Barger Electric. I always call Rick when I need an electrician because he is knowledgeable, friendly, on time, and super reliable. His prices are extremely fair and I 100% recommend his services.

Barger did an excellent job of installing recessed lights in a bedroom and an exhaust fan/heater combination in a bathroom ceiling. The price was good and the work professional. Then the plastic ""cover"" to one of the recessed lights separated from the fixture and fell down. However my son-in-law was able to glue the ""cover"" back on by holding it in place with frog tape while the glue dried. Then a few weeks later, the same thing happened with a second light, so I called Barger. Rick was as surprised as I was since he had never seen this happen and he replaced both defective lights with new ones. I plan to have a heater installed in a secondary bathroom and will definitely call on Rick Barger.

Extremely fast , professional and clean job... very fair in price and the team is awesome. We got our recessed lighting , GIF , dimmers in entire house and few other small projects done. Highly highly recommend Barger Electric to everyone ... THUMBS UP !!

After finding an ad in the local smart saver magazine, I contacted ""Rick"", the owner of Barger Electric. He was very professional on the phone, and quoted me the price right away after I told him that I needed 4 recessed lights installed in my dining room. He's very busy, since his work is top notch, and his prices are much better than most, but after a few days, we locked in a time and a day to start the job. He showed up on time, and finished the job in under an hour and a half! As I said before, his prices beat the other 3 places I called, and believe me, I'm sure the quality of his work was better than they would have done! There was only one hole to patch above the switch by the ceiling after he was done, and he even corrected a ceiling fan problem that my contractor had messed up on. If you need any electrical services, Rick is the guy! I'll hire him again if I need any other electrical work done.

Awesome job! Works quickly but meticulously . Had solutions for our lighting needs and implemented them. Will use in the future.

Rick did an excellent job putting in recessed lighting and hanging fans. He was also the most affordable out of two other quotes. I'll continue to use him for all my electrical work.
