When dealing with Palmer, make sure you get an estimate prior to them doing any work.
I got charged $180 for a service call that they sent 2 people $125 and $55 for the second technician, they were there less than an hour and never were able to diagnosis the problem.

Larry Palmer was responsive and very clear about what he would do. On the day of service, his team - JP and Nate- were on time, efficient, and friendly. They knew what they were doing, cleaned up very thoroughly, finished the job in a timely fashion.
I highly recommend Palmer electric.

Great work, arrived on time, replied quickly to my questions, and came within 24 hours of needing service.

Thanks to Larry & JP with super quick response and availability, I was able to close on a property sale. These guys were top notch and easily responsive and did fantastic work. Would definitely use again in the future if needed. Thanks guys.

I hired Palmer Electric to replace my antiquated electrical panel. Larry came out quickly to provide the estimate, explained it thoroughly and scheduled the work promptly. The crew showed up on-time, provided updates throughout the day, and finished the job as expected. They were extremely professional, neat, and treated the job as if it were their own home. Do not hesitate to hire Palmer Electric - they are the real deal.

If I could give Palmer Electric more than 5 stars, I would! Larry and his team are amazing and I am so happy with the work they did at our house. We had a rather unique electrical project, and Larry worked with us to come up with the right solution that would work well for the property. Larry and his team really cared that we were happy with the work being done and throughout the process asked what we thought, if everything was how we wanted it, etc. I also think their pricing was very fair and transparent, which I appreciated greatly. I can't say enough good things about Palmer Electric and highly recommend them!

I found Palmer Electric on Yelp and requested a quote on some old outdoor lighting that did not work. The house is new to us, but the lighting has been here for sometime and has not worked since we moved in. We spent the entire winter in the dark when we went outside! LOL! Well, the electricians (2) came out and wa-la, within 30 minutes had it working. Now, they could have told us it was old and needed to be replaced, but you know - they did not do that! I really appreciate that. They fixed the transformer and explained what was going on.
We'll have them come back and update some of the fixtures to join the 21st century! They were great to work with - friendly and professional and took the time to explain things to us - since obviously we had no idea what was happening! Highly recommend!!!!

Truly professional. They show up on time and do the work as promised.
I put in new yard lights. They recommend placement but didn't push.
I used them again twice already.

Our experience is how every trade service project should go. I found Palmer Electric on Yelp and requested a quote for multiple projects for our home. Larry (the actual owner) replied to me within 10 minutes to set up an appointment. For the initial appointment, he showed up on time (when he said he was going to), used an iPad (shows technological saavy) to take notes, I told him our goals for each project, he made suggestions (not pushy, but giving his expert opinion) and said he would get back to me either that day or the next with a quote. I asked if he could break down the quote by project and he said no problem. And guess what?, that evening he sent over an itemized quote! I told Larry that I was getting other quotes and would get back to him. He checked back in two days (which I would expect to show that he was still interested in the project). After that, he didn't push and just waited. I finally contacted him 3 weeks later (that's how long it took me to get the other quotes!) and hired him for the job. Again, Larry gave me some available dates, we reviewed what he was going to do, and guess what? He showed up when he said he was going to (with Vlad). They knocked out the project in a day, which was replacing our high voltage yard lighting with 12V LED lighting. Larry gave suggestions on additional lighting for trees and it was right on! They look great, please see the pictures. He also uncovered some problems with the electrical for such an old house and he came back to troubleshoot and after a certain period of time, he told me that it was in operable condition but would need more work and the decision was mine to continue. I appreciate the thoughtfulness to keep me aware instead of just burning through more hours. And I know this wasn't a made-up issue because he and Vlad were working their butts off to get to the bottom of an over-voltage issue. At the end of the day, Palmer Electric replaced our outdoor yard lighting, installed additional lighting, and installed 2-wired ring cameras. Palmer Electric is now our goto electrician. While they weren't the cheapest, they weren't the most expensive, exactly where you want to be! Next up for us will be an electrical panel upgrade once we save up more money. And BTW he was right in the middle on that pricing as well! Larry and Vlad's professionalism, respect, and integrity are a welcome experience in an industry that can be as painful an experience as buying a car! What I also liked was Larry grew up in the area, went to college, fell in love with a profession that he did over the summer to make money, spent the time with a bigger outfit to gain experience and then went out on his own (you should read his bio). Again, can't recommend them enough and hope people find this useful.

I can not recommend Palmer Electric Enough. Larry and his staff are friendly , helpful and professional.
They are quick to respond, the cost has always been reasonable and the work is all ways completed on time if not early .
