Art Electrical Services And MoreArt is a true gem. Highly recommended. He is very knowledgable, shows and tells you exactly what he's doing and he does fantastic work! He also has integrity. He won't do work or charge for work does not need to be done - he told me I didn't need it, showed me why, and saved me the fee. Now he's my go-to electrician for any and all future needs.
SparkyeGreat at his job! Works hard & didn’t leave until satisfaction for the job was assured. Fast & knowledgeable! Would & will request Benjamin personally for any job in the future.

Mercy ElectricI am happy to have chosen Mercy Electric, a responsible and very efficient company. Their employees are very respectful, and the work was completed on time. I will be happy to recommend them and hire them again for future projects.
