Prompt, courteous and professional. I have used them twice now and they always go above and beyond. They usually arrive within 24 hours of calling.

Best money we have spent in a long time on our little house. The crew was fast, professional, and extremely friendly. They corrected problems we have struggled with for months and advised on further work without being pushy. I finally feel like we have an electrician and will definitely call back for all future projects- highly recommended!

Great service from HandyLectric. Quick to get someone on the phone, from there Jeremy was good at listening to my couple of problem areas and finding ways to help. One was a more immediate issue and they were able to come out in the timeline I needed (an outlet was dead and the fix needed to be hunted down - and was), and the second visit was done faster than quoted and done very effectively (swapped out fluorescent lights for LED cans). Highly recommend!

Last Friday, I had HandyLectric come out and look at a few lights that weren't working in our kitchen and bathroom. They suggested the issue was the ballasts and suggested removing the lights and replacing with LED cans to avoid future ballast problems and save money with LEDs. So far, so good, as I think this was good advice. They posed this as a reasonable and easy replacement, but said nothing more about the process or work involved in doing that switch other than (1) to say it would take 2-3 hours and cost $100 per can, (2) that they would like to tell us what color light we preferred in the meantime, and (3) that they would be here at 8am this Friday. The men were in and out quickly, saying they had to work on another job and the other crew wasn't available to handle the work that day. Again, this all seemed fine and we were so far pleased with the professionalism, even if it meant taking another day off of work.

Today (Friday) at 8:15 (15 minutes after they should have arrived), I receive a voicemail from Jeremy at Handylectric to see if they can send out the workers and ""go over a couple of things."" I call right back and, at that point, I'm told that the work will involve removing the ballasts by ripping up the ceiling stud-to-stud, work that they would not patch, something that he wanted to make sure I realized. I did not, in fact, realize that. While I understand they're electricians not painters/plasterers, obviously if they had fully explained the work ahead when they proposed it last Friday, I could have arranged for other contractors to come to patch (perhaps seeking a recommendation from them), or sought a company that could do both (which certainly exists, since I've already discussed it with other electricians). I am not an electrician or a contractor and thus had no familiarity with what would be involved in the work when proposed; when it was put to me as a 2-3 hour straightforward job, I assumed that, at the end of that, I would have attractive and efficient LED lighting without accompanying holes in my ceiling.

When I asked why the full scope of the work (especially the holes that would not be patched) was not explained to me in advance, Jeremy at first said this was why he was glad he talked to me before sending the guys over. I said this was unacceptable given that it was a week after the guys initially looked at the lights and after the time they should have arrived on a day where I'd obviously already taken off work without having the opportunity to make other arrangements to have my ceiling patched. Jeremy then claimed that the man who came last Friday HAD told me the ceiling would be opened but not patched. This wasn't true, as both my wife and I can attest. Nor would it make sense that (1) I was so surprised by it today if I had been told or (2) Jeremy would need to tell me about it again on the day he was supposed to be sending the guys to my house since he would have already known that I fully understood the process.

Thus, while I thought the price was good and initially was happy with the professionalism of the men who visited last Friday, today's response (and attempt to retroactively cover for their prior incomplete explanation) means I will be finding a different company to do the work.

From first phone call to handshake goodbye, HandyLectric was fantastic! They were quick to respond to my call and fix my electrical problem with detailed explanation of what was wrong. I was so impressed I had them change out some light fixtures also (which they were also great at).

Highly recommend!!

Last night had some of my sockets stop working. Part of it was in my kitchen and my entire room in the family room. Called around and spoke with Jeremy who talked me through it first to see if I even needed an electrician to come out and save me some money. After figuring out that one of the breakers was done he still managed to fit me in during the morning and gave me a very good price. He even told me about my old board and how it needs to be replaced with some great advice. I definitely would go with them again if needed. They are a great family company and honest along with a great price.

Responsive, professional, on time, and reasonably priced. I will definitely use their services again.

I had Jeremy come out to give me an estimate for installing a 240V plug in my laundry room. It turns out I'm an idiot and it's already wired for 240 volts - I just needed to install the receptacle. The guys were pleasant and helpful, explained what I need, and refused when I offered to pay them for their time. I'd hire them in a heartbeat.

These guys were great. They were able to come out right away, fixed my issue no problem, and were very pleasant and easy to deal with.

You know what I love more than getting great service? Finding honest businesses that actually try to help you with simple issues without even having to come out. I contacted Handy Electric via Yelp for a fuse breaker that was stuck and instead of coming out and having to charge me a service fee, they offered to help me fix it by walking me through it instead. Who does that nowadays??? This company did & only one other one out of the 1/2 dozen I contacted.

Anyway, I didn't need your services this time I will definitely be keeping you in mind for future needs!
