Recommended Customer Reviews

I've worked with Carter Electric for many years. They are responsive, professional, and do quality work. Tony has a knack for hiring as well as I've enjoyed working with all of his crew. They are engaging and can explain things to you in simple terms. You can't go wrong with Tony and his crew!

The quote to move our Spa junction box from one side of our house to another was very reasonable. After I approved the estimate getting on their schedule fit within my timeline expectations. The work that was done was excellent and I would highly recommend Carter Electric!!

We've used Carter Electric for several projects, and highly recommend them for whatever you might need done. They are prompt, efficient & professional, in addition to being personable. When we have a question, they explain it in layman's terms. Michelle returns calls quickly & I can't say enough positive things about Cody & Chris & the rest of the gang. Carter Electric is our ""go to"" place!

We needed work done to fix our bathroom light and fan. The previous owners of the house used a ground wire as the neutral. I called around and Carter Electric was the first people available to come out. Cody showed up on time, actually he was a bit early, diagnosed the problem quickly and got to work fixing the problem. He did a great job. My dog liked him, too.

Great company and dealing with Tony was great. They did two jobs for me - one small and one big. Excellent work on both and always showed up & on time when they said they would be at the job site. Highly recommend.

In my recent struggle with a furness issue I learned
That You can hire this firm with confidence. Tony and
His lovely Wife display a rare business intelligence and are committed to running their Business with integrity plus. When something Comes up and your new to the area you start Flipping thru Yelp or others trying to figure out Who to call trying to read between the lines or Tell if writer is the the guys Mother in law.
I lucked out and called Tony Carter he sent out the
Techs they Discovered my problem was not electrical but they referred ""Absolute Comfort"" who saved me 5500. With a different approach to the needed
Repair recommended by another company.
Smart businesses make smart referrals.
Carter is my go to electrician from now on
In Redding. The men sent to my house were
Masked and observed distance measures
Great! As a retired business man I'm proud
When I see this kind of customer care, I think
Tony & Co wrote the book!
Good luck with whatever sends you on this search!

They guys at Carter Electric wired up our Hot Tub and also helped with some other electrical issues we were having. With all the construction going on in our city due to the Carr Fire last year I was thankful to have them take care of us. Reasonable rates and not just professional but personable as well, I highly recommend Carter Electric and will continue to call them any time I have an electrical need at our home!

I inquired the other day about possibly hiring them for a small outlet project, and was turned down due to ""heavy workloads.""
While I understand this place is popular and is backed up, if I was running a business I just wouldn't tell a potential client no and that you are to busy for them.
I did explain that the work I was requesting (upgrading some outlets in the house to tampered resistant ones) could wait and didn't need to be done soon, but I was still turned down. It just didn't sit well with me, as my wife and I both felt like we didn't matter to them.
So I guess I won't be using this company in the future, which is unfortunate for them because I have some really large projects next year that will require a lot of electrical work.
I will say that the owner seems like a very nice guy though and was quick to respond which I appreciated

Carter came out a while back to do a panel upgrade. In and out in less then 3 hours. Clean and professional. Thank You..

Carter Electric has always done a great job for me, at reasonable prices as well. Tony and his team are knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful in offering advice on a project.
