They were able to schedule and get my project done within a week. Trevor (the electrician doing the work) was friendly and professional. He did a great job leaving everything cleaned up when he was done.

Andrew was better than outstanding. He showed me every step he was taking to repair my furnace as he was doing it What a benefit to your company to have a lead tech like Andrew. They were also prompt when I needed emergency service that day. Just an overall outstanding experience. Thank you!

Trevor was nothing but professional, treated my ideas with respect, and got the job done, working around some challenges with the fixtures I had on hand. I couldn't be happier. Will call John Betlem the next time I need electrical work done. Very happy!

Replaced exhaust blower. Service was great, the only thing was the price seemed high for the simple install of a blower that had easy access. Other than that I am very pleased.

Tankless water heater installation of a replacement of a unit that could not be fixed. Very good service was done on short notice by a knowledgeable professional. They also installed a new high-efficiency furnace that we are very pleased with. Great service!
