Recommended Customer Reviews

Project including installing 10 recessed light and 2 ceiling lights in kitchen, living room and bedrooms. Tyler came with his crew (Chris) on time, super respectful and attentive to detail. After a quick walk through together, which was very engaged, Tyler was not shine to offer his expertise and suggestion (ie. What to put or demo, one switch vs two switch's, what will happen to my wall LoL).
After the walk through, 2 ceiling lights was deemed to be out of scope because I changed my mind, he offered pricing on the spot, which show his willingness to meet all customer needs, the pricing were very competitive and very reasonable. He went out to Home Depot bought the equipment to fulfill the out of scope request.
Come on that had to be more than 5 stars. He is honest, him team and him completes the project in 8 hours due to how they are well prepared and talented.
Given he owns the company, i am impressed how well he ran it. I feel ""fornaute"" to work with Better electric. I'm a very picky customer too
when project conclude, we are all happy to see so many new lights, my condo built in 70s use to have no lights in bedroom. Another star he is able to conquer the challenges to install lights for the first hand.
Thinking I shouldn't even be writing this review now, to keep Tyler to my future projects. But quality work and experience overcome my selfishness as there should be well deserved praise!

NEMA14-50 installation looks perfect. Thanks Tyler!!!would recommend to anyone looking for an electrician

I hired Tyler to install a 14-50 NEMA outlet in my garage for my EV to charge. He was responsive, simple, reasonably priced, and finished the job in very good time. I had a last moment change in my schedule and he easily accommodated by swapping my appointment with some others. Really happy with the experience. Will be able to test it out next week when my car arrives.

I would give zero stars if i could! I scheduled an appointment with Tyler...and he canceled via text message 30 minutes before and never bothered to reschedule with me.
I decided to give Tyler a second chance. I scheduled another appointment with Tyler for 530 pm and he no showed. I then called Tyler to ask if he was planning on attending our scheduled appointment. Tyler did not take ownership for completely flaking on me AGAIN and never bothered to contact me and tell me he was not going to make it AGAIN. I am appalled that Tyler did not have the decency or professionalism to notify me. Instead, I woke up early to wait for him and I completely wasted my time.
Fuck you Tyler and your bullshit excuses.
I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AND I AM SHOCKED THERE ARE ANY POSITIVE REVIEWS.

Very glad that we found Tyler through Yelp! Right from the start, he was hyper responsive, which I really appreciated. He worked very quickly and efficiently to install a light fixture in my home office. Would hire him again for sure!

Tyler came out to my home and installed 2 ceiling fans and replaced a broken porch light. He was on-time, speedy and very informative about what he was doing. Cost for his services were super reasonable. Highly recommended if you're looking for a qualified electrician to get the job done!!

I contracted better electric to replace 5 ceiling fans in my house and Tyler was prompt in his responses and courteous, with an interest to get my needs met when I needed them on short notice. Chris came to perform the work and he was awesome! He worked so much harder than I anticipated. In my disappointment all of my original ceiling fans were placed incorrectly without the proper support box needed to withstand the weight of the fan (no wonder they always shook when they were on). Chris worked non-stop and never complained. He replaced all of our ceiling fans the proper way. He left our home sweaty, dirty, and exhausted but courteous through and through and never complained about all of the unanticipated labor and time it took. He was pleasant, professional, fast, neat, and all-around a pleasure to have in our home. I will definitely be contracting Tyler and his crew for my future electrical needs undoubtedly.

Tyler was quick to respond to the Yelp Quote system and set up an appointment - this is quite rare during COVID since everyone is fixing up their homes. He was on-time, wore a mask the whole time (along with his associate), and was quite meticulous with his work. For each light fixture, he'd ask for our preferences (and when we more or less shrugged, he'd offer his advice based on how we'd use the light).
When we wound up buying a non-dimmable fixture for a dimming switch, he talked us through our options and quickly adjusted the switch to meet our needs. It's rare to meet someone like Tyler who goes above and beyond when many just do the bare minimum.
Would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking an electrician.

Tyler helped install 5 ceiling fans for me and he was amazingly efficient, organized and clean overall, finishing the job in just about 2 hours. Impressive and workmanship looked excellent. He guarantees his work too which gives me comfort if anything goes wrong, I know he's good for it. I know who I'm calling if I need any help around the house!

Tyler is very professional and knowledgeable. He identified a huge risk with my old, out of code electrical panel and replaced it. Tyler is also one of the only electricians with the experience and expertise to install my generator transfer switch. Highly recommended and will definitely have him do all my future electrical work!!
