Recommended Customer Reviews

After doing lots of research for local electric companies, I ended up contacting Live Wire to install 4 recessed lights in my dining room. Joe came out to check out the job and give an estimate... he was super friendly and knowledgeable. The workers that came out to do the job were very polite and respectful of my space, even cleaned up after they were finished! (I've had companies before come make a mess and then leave) Scheduling and following up was super easy with Maggie as well. Have a few more electrical projects planned and will only be using them for the work - 5+ Stars. Props to the entire Live Wire team!

I dealt with them when working in Ft Lauderdale as a customer rep, GREAT company! Would highly recommend!

No, No, No! Stay away! In my opinion, stay away from this company! I hired Live Wire, Inc to purchase and install 2 bathroom exhaust fans, add lighting, ceiling fans, and switches. They were extremely careless and left me with a bunch of holes in the ceilings and walls around the switches! One of the ceiling exhaust fans was put up with one screw and they are way too large for the small bathrooms. They poked holes in the walls and ceiling and were too lazy to get up in the attic to do the job properly. I would never recommend them to anyone.

This review is on how they do their customer service. They never did any work for us because of that. The lady that answers the phone is extremely rude and arrogant. I felt that I owe her something every time I called, which was three times. She almost yelled at me at some point and she doesn't know anything. I don't know what's the point to have a person like that. Such a waste of time. You need to beg the to get a quote as well. I will never deal with them again.

Professional, prompt, courteous, and got the job done right. They went above and beyond to work with the plumber we hired to install a tankless hot water heater. We will use them again for any electrical needs we may have. Give them call, you'll be happy you did.

It's scary when you have to hire any type of contractor because there are so many bad ones out there. So I did my due diligence and chose Live Wire Electric to upgrade my service, which included a new panel and a new meter/panel plus the riser through my roof for the new FPL hook-up. I dealt with Ed initially and figured I would likely never see him again after I agreed to hire them. But he showed up on the job while the guys were working to make sure everything was fine. The workers were all very professional and made sure to clean up. They were respectful and answered my questions. I had a small issue with some fluctuation of my lights after the job was done. I called and Ed stopped by a couple hours later on his way home to check on everything. He took care of it and then stopped by the next day to see if the problem was solved. It was. I highly recommend Live Wire to anyone for any electrical work they need done. They truly seem to care about their customers and they do what needs to be done. I appreciated them being so good. Oh, and as far as pricing goes, I got a few bids and Live Wire was comparable with one and better than another.

Live Wire Electric is THE BEST electric company I have every used. They have worked on many projects for us for well over a decade, and I'm continually impressed with their (1) promptness to evaluate a new project (2) the ease with which their office communicates with their customers and (3) the quality of their work. And on top of that, their pricing is fair! They are the ONLY company I call when I need electrical help with a commercial property or my home, and the only one I recommend to friends and family. One call to Maggie and it gets done. They always exceed our expectations.

Unfortunately, this experience was BELOW underwhelming. Considering that I was rescheduled and delayed multiple times due to Irma, I was hopeful that the work (minor projects, outlets, etc.) would be completed in a single day. That was a bad assumption. Ed arrived, albeit an hour and a half late to our appointment, he was very polite and knowledgeable. He was at my house for 2-3 hours, and when he left, I was promised a follow up - but received no call, no schedule, no emails, just dead silence. When I did receive a communication a month later, it was an invoice! I (mistakenly, it appears) was under the impression that the quoted work would actually be completed prior to invoicing...
Since then, no attempt has been made to schedule or complete the quoted work, but Joe felt the need to badger me and threaten to put a lien on my house for $300! LOL - Perhaps you should consider treating your customers with respect and finishing the job you promised to complete.
Don't waste your time with LiveWire, find a company who follows through and can actually finish a job.

Beware. They charge $95/hour including one hour of ""driving time"". Our property is located 7 miles from their office and they charged us for one hour ""driving time"", while the technician spent only 30 minutes on-site, did not fix anything and never followed up with what he told us he would follow up on. There are many better Electricians in Fort Lauderdale to choose from.

Fantastic! After Irma I had power line & power box problems. Live Wire was so quick to respond. Joe and Ed did a great job repairing my equipment and also coordinating with FPL to get me back up and running. And Maggie in the front office was a pleasure to work with. Definitely five star service and two thumbs up!!
