We had to find a new electrical contractor because the one we've used for years went out of business. And what a FIND! Cornelius Electrical professional and kind! They even called from their truck when they arrived so they didn't upset my dog with the doorbell! Thank you!

Sean NunesLocal Guide · 40 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Sean has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Excellent and professional company. I contacted Cornelius Electrical Contractors for a whole house, multi-tiered surge suppression system. The company came out and provided a detail break down of the proposed equipment and the operations of the proposed solution. The provided quote was in my view a good price, especially for the quality made in the USA components they were installing. The scheduling process was easy and I like their notification process when the Electricians are on their way. Electricians Justin and Sean are a testament to the company. Both did a very neat job installing, both double checked, and tested their work and went over the operations again. They are knowledgeable and engaging. I highly recommend this company for all your electrical needs.

Cornelius electric is about 2/3 of the way done with a big job and I don't even need to wait till it's completed to give this review. From the quoting and communication to Justin and Sean coming out to do the work. It has been the best experience working with a contractor for services that I have had in a very very long time. Their work is precise and neat making drywall repairs easy and they have been very considerate while working in my home. I have future electrical jobs that I will need them to complete and it's a not even a question about bidding it out. Unless something drastic changes Cornelius electric will be the company I use from now on.
