Recommended Customer Reviews

Requested service and scheduled a time and date. No one ever showed up. I waited all day calling 3 times getting the run around that someone would call me back. This is shoddy business practice and will report to the BBB.

Great service and work. These guys are my go to for electricity related issues! Have solved a fair few issues in my home!

Good communication, made sure I knew what was happening and how quick things would be.

The price quoted for a 100 amp circuit panel replacement was at least 3 1/2 times the average cost listed by numerous other sources. They pretend to be very friendly & look you in the eye & lie. I would be losing about $4,000 if I went ahead with the repair. Nothing but a mendacious bunch of thieves. Avoid like the plague!

$40 Trip fee, $400 JUST to diagnosis the problem, enough said, wasting my time, and the phone number, customer service agent knows nothing at all

Called these guys based on the good reviews. The electrician came out, and I went over the history of the kitchen remodel (from the February freeze a year or so ago). He didn't look at any of the switches, or the outlets above the counters, just the box. He explained that the box was old, and he wouldn't look at anything unless the box was replaced for the tune of $5200 or $6800, depending on which option we selected.
I called another electrician who asked if the lights worked before the new cabinets were hung. The repair, including swapping out a 220 circuit breaker with a 110 circuit breaker, was $240. The electrician rewired the outlet at no charge.
The lesson I learned, call older people since they have the experience to troubleshoot.

Staff was friendly, showed up same day. (Shawn) fixed the issue and answered all questions. Even though I just had an small problem some other places wanted to quote me $125-$250 just for showing up before even identifying the problem or answer any questions. I was appreciative of their low service fee and able to diagnose and communicate with us upfront. Always great to deal with a honest business from price quotes to service. Would definitely work with them in the future!

5+ stars for The Local Electrician! I called to get an estimate to have a ceiling fan installed because I was stumped. The electrician called me back in less than 5 minutes. He asked great questions and explained to me he thought I had everything I needed to install myself. I checked after we hung up and he was absolutely correct! I truly appreciate that he took the time to explain everything to me, did not push a ""sale"" and was supportive of me doing it myself.
Next time I have electrical needs I will 100% contact them to do the work. This is an honest company and I would have no hesitation hiring them in the future! The way the handled my question shows me they have integrity and that is very much appreciated.

Efficient and fairly priced , no issues put in a couple gfi plugs, tall ceiling fan and led canister lights

This is like a miracle, checked my problem told me how to fix it myself and didn't charge me a penny, I did give him a tip. This type of services is rarer the chicken teeth.
