He did a great job and was quick and courteous.
The Local Electrician arrived on time, assessed the work, & replaced only the smoke detectors that were hardwired. Our electrician lowered the cost by about 50% after we decided to leave the stand-alone smoke detectors as is, but he did change the batteries in them.
From talking to Cindy (who was very professional and helpful) on the phone to making an appointment, I would highly recommend The Local Electrician for any electrical work. Matthew showed up on time! He was wiling to listen and was sincerely concerned with any issues we were having. He was very thorough in…
Showed up on time, great attitude, did a ton of random and unexpected tasks efficiency and for a good price. Very knowledgeable! Highly recommend! Had a wall plug installed, bathroom vent repaired, all my lights in the living area working now! Also had repairs done to electrical box, and surge protection. Relocated ground wire. Great job!
The Service provided was done with excellent professionalism, timeliness and quality. We are quite happy with the work.
They are really good. They found the problem on our electrical panel in 2 minutes, which took days to another person to discover the problem and give us the wrong solution. Sean is very patient and responsive. I’ll definitely be hiring their services in the future!
Very professional and did a great job. Not the cheapest but worth it for the professionalism and promptness.
