Charleston Electric company was a pleasure to work with. I found them through Yelp and after getting 3 estimates I decided to go with them. I was extremely impressed by the communications throughout the process. They were quick with responses, gave an accurate estimate and were wonderful about keeping us informed as to when the electrician would be coming to the house even after setting up the initial appointment. They then texted about 20 minutes before arrival. Our tech Dylan was great. Respectful, friendly, hard-working and knowledgeable. He installed all the fixtures we had purchased and the work was outstanding. We are so pleased with the results. The cost was more than reasonable and exactly what was quoted. I will definitely be adding them to my list of reliable and trusted companies to use to keep my home in great condition. Thank you Charleston Electric.

My experience was mixed. I asked for an estimate and the owner came out 2 days before the work was scheduled. When the electricians arrived they did not have all of the parts identified in the estimate. That makes no sense to me--why were they not prepared?

They then had to go to the store which took at least 30 min. They also charged me for 2 electricians but one was learning and the lead electrician had to redo all of his work. They also did not have all of the equipment and had to borrow items from me.

I was then billed for 2.0 hrs more than they were at my house. I called the owner and he discounted the bill by only 1 hour. For the above reasons, I would not recommend this company based on this one experience.

I highly recommend this company. They were top notch professionals. Kind, polite and highly experienced. They did all my lighting jobs, even corrected other work that was not properly installed. The electrician told me about a known issue with the breakers we were having problems with. I contacted the manufacturer who is agreeing to replace the 4 breakers at a cost of $100 each. I will have Charleston Electric come and put them in once I receive them. Above and beyond service.

Charleston Electric really has a smooth process for quickly and efficiently getting permits in gear prior to initiating projects. On the admin side, both Cameron and Crystal do an outstanding job of getting the little details captured in the permits.
On the installation side, I highly recommend requesting Dylan. His professionalism, level of knowledge and attention to detail is phenomenal. Very clean installations and takes much pride in his work.
I highly recommend Charleston Electric.

After being told by family how good Charleston Electric was, maybe I just had high hopes. I requested a quote for a 200amp panel upgrade and Chris came out as scheduled and was very friendly and personable. He told me he'd have a quote to me within a couple days. 2 days passed with no update so I called and spoke with Summer. She assured me I'd have a quote ready by the end of the next day. 2 more days go by with no update. I call again and am told it shouldn't be much longer. I wait another full day and nothing. Now when I call no one answers on 2 different occasions, 2 separate days/times, no response. I finally got them on the phone again today and again, she assured me I would at least get a call back. They are now closed and nothing. Unfortunately even established companies lie consistently. Almost 2 weeks wasted. Thank you.

The only electrical company that actually responded to me and showed up when they said they would. Quick and neat work, a job done right for sure.

This company is the company to go with if you're looking to infallible a generator. Top professionals who do great work and clean up after themselves better than most. Thorough and hard working who don't write until the job is done. And if they can't get the job done in a day, they show up early the next day to finish. They installed my generator and built a platform and the county inspector even had great things to say to them.

They came out to do a hassle free quote. Provided some great suggestion and they are very professional. I plan to use them again.
