Metro Electric at a glance

Customers frequently praise Metro Electric for punctual arrivals, thorough explanations, and professional conduct during generator maintenance, safety inspections, and installations. Recurring themes highlight reasonable pricing for standard services and helpful communication regarding future needs. However, low-star reviews indicate concerns with appointment scheduling reliability, high costs for estimates or complex repairs, and instances where initial diagnostics failed to resolve reported electrical issues.

Dan did a great job today. He spent way more time at my home than he anticipated as he worked to resolve a problem I've had for years and other electricians were not able to fix. This is the second time Dan has come out for safety checks and installations and I'm very appreciative to have Dan and Metro Electric available for this kind of work.

I was supposed to get a call this year when my Generac generator needed to be serviced. I did not receive a call or a notification that it was time and I remembered luckily that it needed inspection so I called myself when you guys told me you would let me know when I needed service again

I’ve used Metro a few times for annual generator maintenance. Outstanding service with no hidden costs. Even before they come out they go over what is automatically included. Nathan came out this time and was great! Very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend using Metro for generator maintenance/repairs.…

Another good experience, Dan from Metro Electric has done all the electrical work since I purchased my condo and I wouldn't use any other company. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly and usually available very quickly when I call.. I recommend Metro Electric to everyone looking for electrical work to be completed.
