Kissel Electric

Johnny M.

It's taken the better part of two years to write this review. But Brian Kissel is that good.
My experience was like others who've posted here. First the back story: Because I had a home maintenance insurance policy with First American Home Maintenance, I had to use the electricians assigned by them. For two years I had intermittent sparks, shorts, fuses tripping, etc. Called the insurance company roughly 10-12 times on electrical issues related to the house. But the problems persisted. Finally one of their assigned electricians said I had to replace the whole panel with a heavier gauge panel, and that it'd cost $2,450, and wasn't covered by my insurance. I wanted a second opinion.
After reading some of Kissel Electric's glowing reviews, I decided to call Brian. He came out that afternoon and got right to work. I told him what had happened before. He understood exactly what the real problem was, replaced all the breakers (but not the panel, as that wasn't needed at all) and coated took extra steps to protect the integrity of the circuits over the long term. Everything he told me proved to be true. And he charged me less than 1/4 of what the other electrical company quoted. I never had any electrical issues with the home after that.
Brian was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and absolutely honest about everything. The kind of person I will (and have) made my ""go to electrician.""
I couldn't come up with a criticism of any part of Brian or his company or his work if you paid me to. I wish six stars was an option for ""over the top"" level of service.
By the way, like so many others, my experiences with First American Home Buyers Protection insurance company were generally awful. Almost all the companies they sent out to my home (plumbers, electricians, etc.) did sloppy work that either didn't fix the problem at all or only superficially. And you still have to pay them $75 per appointment. Sometimes they wouldn't come out for days. And almost every time I ultimately had to call my own guy to come out and do the job right, and pay for it entirely out of pocket.
Back to Brian Kissel and Kissel Electric. Write down his name and number. Even if you don't need an electrician right now. You will. And he'll take care of you so well, and do it so humbly you'll feel like you just came from the spa.

Brian Kissel is an excellent electrician! He was able to quickly diagnose and fix a problem that had perplexed another electrician.

I had previously called a different electrician to fix an issue we had with one of the circuits in our house that caused several outlets to crackle and several appliances to smoke. I picked this electrician because he was the only one that could get out to my house before we left on vacation. That electrician spent over two hours trying to fix the problem, but left us without the use of all of our outdoor outlets and most of the garage outlets. He said to diagnose and fix the issue would be a major project and would require him to remove drywall to trace the wiring. I was charged hundreds of dollars, but the problem was not fixed.

Today, I sent a note to Kissel Electric and Brian called almost immediately. I explained the issue and he said that he felt it would be a simple fix. After the experience with the last electrician, I was hopeful but doubtful. Brian showed up as scheduled and QUICKLY found the issue in our breaker panel. He fixed the wiring in the breaker panel and reworked the outlet that the other electrician had jury-rigged. It was very apparent that Brian knew what he was doing and he had our problem diagnosed and fixed in less than an hour! And he charge me just slightly more than half of what the other electrician charged me to NOT fix my problem!

Brian was able to quickly and affordably fix an electrical issue that I was told was going to be an extensive and expensive repair project. If you're in need of electrical work, your search for an electrician should start and stop with Kissel Electric!

Brian Kissel is a very good electrician and drywall contractor. He bid my job to lower a electrical box and was extremely fair in pricing and charging me. He did a beautiful job lowing the box and repairing the drywall. He was very clean and didn't leave any mess to my home. He showed up on time and was very pleasant to work with. I would definitely have him do any other job in the future. The job was completed on time and without any problems. I highly recommend him for any electrical work you may need done right the first time.

Brian was able to squeeze me in his busy schedule and fix my GFCI issue. Quick to resolve issue at a fair price. I will always call him for any future electrical problems. Thanks Brian!

Brian was referred to me by a neighbor. He helped install a new electrical box and 220 volt line for a new spa we purchased. In an effort to keep people honest, I always get two estimates. Brian's estimate was reasonable and he performed as promised. I highly recommend him to get the job done right.

What a gem we found. I would NEVER call anyone else. We had a small problem with some outlets and after 4 electricians said they couldn't help here comes Brian with his Superman Cape and saved the day. Fixed our problem and went above and beyond to make sure it was right. Thanks Brian!

Brian came out today and installed an electrical outlet in my bathroom. He was quick and efficient and he charged a very reasonable price, which was quite a bit lower than what I had been quoted by others. He was ablate do it without damaging my wall at all. He was very pleasant and easy to deal with. I highly recommend Brian and will use him again.

I hired Brian Kissel to hang a very heavy chandelier and install Wemo switches in my home. He was awesome! Arrived right on time, had great ideas and suggestions, cleaned up after his work and just did a fantastic job. I will call him any time I need an electrician. Great overall professional.

I have used Brian and his services for over 2 years. He has a lot of knowledge when it comes to anything from electric to home repairs. I had him installed two smart thermostats a few days ago. I also had him add a couple outlets to my home office as well as put up a large cabinet. He's always on time and is very organized. He is very focused when he works and the jobs never need touch ups or to be revisited.

Brian is great. Efficient and reasonable. He's installed multiple outdoor outlets for me as well as indoor gfci. He also installed two outdoor lights on either side of my garage with a new switch that links to an app for remote timing and on/off options.
