What customers said about installation
I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience with Baker Brothers. I hired them to install an EV charger, and they improperly wired the electric panel—a serious safety issue that should never happen with licensed professionals. To make matters worse, while they were on-site, they claimed I had a pipe leak…
Dalen & cody did an absolutely tremendous job. The speed and professionalism was superb
Ashton was great. Friendly, polite, and very professional. He quickly and thoroughly diagnosed the entire AC
My air conditioner was not working and they got it all resolved the next day! Very kind and hardworking people. Would definitely recommend.
Daniel was amazing and very thorough. He walked through everything that we didn’t know in regards to HVAC.
Dennis Duffy is an Incredible Electrician and is truly a Master. So kind and his work was impeccable. He put in so many hours to switch out my electrical panel and ensure I had electricity before he left for the day. Truly incredible!! Thank you Dennis!!!
