Recommended Customer Reviews

Chris, the owner's son, came out and quickly and efficiently got to work solving our circuit breaker issue and then installed a new security light and GFC outlet. Within a few minutes it was all done and he cleaned up leaving no trace. What more can you say, but they are the best!

We recently moved into a townhouse and have had Palisades Electric do work for us twice.
The last job was a big one. We had the team install recessed lighting in our bedrooms and living room and 3 chandeliers in other rooms.
The service they provided was outstanding. They listened to all of our requests and provided their expertise to make it even better than we imagined.
We will definitely use them for all electrical needs in the future.

We had an excellent experience with Palisades Electric today, hence this review. We had four individual electrical issues which were all addressed in less than an hour: outdoor heaters, a motion switch, a lighting system repair and a front gate electronic switch. Scheduling was fast and the team was prompt, efficient and courteous. Well done Palisades Electric!

They did a great job in my front yard. Jamie and his crew are friendly, nice and helpful. My garden and trees are lit perfectly and I'd recommend them easily to anyone looking for good, solid work at a fair price. Definitely look forward to using them again!

These guys are awesome--wish I'd called them sooner! I've battled constant mildew build-up in a small interior bathroom for several years now due to the space having an inadequate exhaust fan and no source of ventilation. The walls and ceiling in the bathroom would often remain wet for many hours after showering. (Honestly, it seemed as if the walls never dried in that bathroom.) Jamie came out to assess the situation and helped me to come up with a solution for the bathroom, which included installing a new exhaust fan as well as a small oscillating ceiling fan. Jamie was very professional and easy to work with and he followed up his visit with a detailed quote the same day. A team of two electricians came out to perform the work. They were professional and courteous, got the two fans installed in the one bathroom, and installed recessed lighting in both of my bathrooms within about 3 hours.
It's been a week since they installed the new exhaust fan and oscillating ceiling fan in the problem bathroom, and the difference is AMAZING!! With the new fans, the entire bathroom is bone dry within 25 minutes after showering. Wish I'd thought to call them and have this work done years ago. Such a difference! I will definitely call Palisades Electric for future jobs.

Angel did an excellent job for us. He arrived on scheduled, is very knowledgeable and highly efficient. I highly recommend them.

I could not possibly have been more annoying in seeking service. If I owned the business, I might have forgotten to call me back. When my smoke detectors went rogue at 100 decibels my stereocilia began dying. Add the irregular pattern to the mix and I would have a mini cardiac episode several times a day. Then there was the dog barking. It was a scene. In short, I was on the verge of losing my mind.
My nerves were fried when I realized it was the day before the Fourth of July. Turning off the fuse box didn't work because they had a backup battery that I couldn't reach. Palisades Electric called back immediately, scheduled the appointment. Not a ""we'll be there between 8-12"" window, but ""we'll be there around 9AM"". What's more? They were actually there at the time stated.
They sent two electricians to remove and replace old detectors. Both were very nice. One, in particular, must have an eccentric wife or sister because he seemed more amused than judgmental by my trying to beat the detector off the wall with a broomstick. In under an hour, the job was complete.
A+ in every way.
Having recovered my hearing, I met up with my best friend, Gloria, and my mother who informed me that my kindergarten teacher, Mrs.Minium, is/was co-owner of Palisades Electric. ""She worked at the front desk and did their scheduling for years, but I haven't seen her there in awhile."" All I could think was, ""Please G-d, let her be retired and/or not manning the voicemail anymore."" A pretty demoralizing prospect. Yet I digress...
You should use this business because Mrs. Minium was my favorite teacher, it's owned by Palisadians, prices are reasonable, if not low, and they do a perfect job.

I've had Palisades Electric come out twice now- once for a hot outlet, with melting wires, and the second time to replace three outlets from two prong to three prongs. Chris came out both times, and he was on time, professional, fast, and knew exactly what he was doing! So happy to have a local electrician I can count on-- thank you Chris, and thank you Palisades Electric!!!

Chris did an excellent job fixing our electrical issue. We will definitely call again in the future.

FANTASTIC! They do everything. Had a chandelier installed - they had
all the parts needed besides the tallest ladder ever. Steve and Angel did the work and they were so competent and congenial to work with. We needed some extra chain (which they had) and just little things that were needed. I can't say enough about what an excellent job they did in a timely manner. In the first 3 minutes I knew that they could do the job.
I would definitely use them again - OH - I forgot to say - Steve cleaned all the glass in the existing light fixtures too! GREAT JOB.
