Recommended Customer Reviews

Quoted us $200 to install two fans, when the work was done they said it took much longer than expected (though I don't know why, since they were remote controlled and didn't need extra wiring run) and said the price had increased to $350. So they either intentionally underquoted or just ripped us off.

Jimmy and his whole Team are Honest and they treat you right .... Light go out who do you call ? ? ? Modern Electric ! ! !

Just had Modern electric do some work on our house including installing 3 new light fixtures. When the old ones were removed, they realized they were installed incorrectly. They immediately recognized the issue, solved the problem, and were able to successfully install the new light fixtures in a timely manner. Courteous and professional, safety was also a priority since they wore masks the entire time. Thank you Modern Electric for the excellent work! Highly recommend.

Had my TV installed and wired above my fireplace today. Work was done perfectly! They were on time, quick, and super nice and professional! I couldnt have asked for a better job! I would definitely recommend and will use again for any other electrical work in my new home!

John and Baroo were friendly and efficient fixing some electrical issues in our house today. They showed up a few minutes before scheduled, did a quick diagnosis and got right to work, re-wiring and fixing the outlets in our living room. I appreciated the thorough explanation and friendly service (a tough find during these chaotic times). I will definitely be a repeat customer with Modern Electric due to the service these two provided. Thanks again!

Excellent workmanship!! Jimmy and his team did an amazing job on installing my home battery backup electrical system. As an engineer I'm very picky on quality and workmanship and Jimmy set my new standard! He called on the weekend to set up for the Monday install.. his team showed up on time 7am and worked diligently to get the job done. All the conduit runs were plumb and secure.. The guys were even able to get the runs through the house framing so we didn't need to penetrate outside walls!! That was amazing.. excellent conduit and breaker quality- no short cuts!!! Really nice job Jimmy and your lead guy John knows his stuff!! My wife already has more work lined up for you :) thanks

If you need an electrician, look no further and hire Modern Electric for your job. They listened to my explanation of the problem, asked me questions along the way, took care of the problem, and even put a plug for a new microwave, which I didn't know I'd need. When I called them with my issue, I left a message, and they got back to me in a timely manner, and showed up when they said they would. The two-man crew who came were fast, cleaned up after themselves, and were pleasant and professional. Modern Electric is our company for any future electrical needs. Give Jimmy a call and he will take care of you!

Very impressed with their service. Had them install an EV charging station. They came out the same day that I called and made a high quality install at a price below what was quoted.
Definitely plan to recommend them to others.

I had a problem with my rv. I was freaking out I called out to Modern Electric and with in a few minutes he called me back. He couldn't make it out but he walked me thru my problem over the phone. To me that's service. I appreciate that very much. I highly recommend them for you electrical issues. Thank you again for helping me out.

I have known Jimmy for about (5) years now and he takes care of all my electrical needs at my rental property. He and his crew have a top notch work ethic with customer service & satisfaction as a priority. Modern Electric will take care of you timely, at a reasonable cost, with great quality work!
