Description of Work: He did a great job, was here when he said he would be. The price was a bit higher than I expected. However, I didn't ask for an estimate. Still more than I was expecting.

Shawn Severson showed up on time to assess the job and provide a bid. He was the third of three contractors asked to bid. Shawn quickly formed an opinion about how to approach the job -- open the ceiling to remove the existing device before installing a new one, or swapping out the guts of a new device (same brand) into the frame of the existing device without needing to do drywall work. Of the three contractors asked to bid, Shawn instilled the most confidence that he knew what he was talking about and had command of how to do the job. His bid also was slightly lower than the other two. Best of all, he said he could do the job right then. After I agreed, Shawn worked efficiently and was tidy. Soon the vent/heater/light was functional again, and it has operated perfectly in the weeks since Shawn's work.
Description of Work: Swapped out a master-bathroom ceiling vent/heater/light combination device after most of the original stopped functioning.

Bear Wire Electric (Shawn) delivered professional, timely, and affordable service for our list of electrical items. He called me right back after the first message I left asking for pricing, he was very friendly, and even fit me in earlier than expected! Shawn provided all the paperwork I needed for realestate purposes on-site before he left. Great experience! If we weren't moving out of state, i'd definitely be calling him again.
Description of Work: Addressed a couple electrical items from a home inspection report: GFCI check, neutral wire labeling in panel, knock-out seal install.

I contacted Shawn and he was able to come the next day. As the job was relativly small, it's sometimes hard to get someone to come for only 2.5 hrs. of work. He was on time and prepared for the work. Everything on the home indpection addendum was accomplished and up to NEC code. Billing was electronic and all happened right there on site. Modern technology allowed for a bill to be sent via E mail and I wrote the check. No mail delay. He also accepts credit cards. BAMM! Right there! I try to support businesses and services in the local area (Eagle River). Always nice to see an abitious owner/operator providing a great service. Thanks!
Description of Work: I had a home inspection and had some electrical panel issues that need to be corrected. Grounding, wire connections, etc....

I went with Bear Wire Electric based on a recommendation from a colleague of mine at work who had some work done and was VERY pleased with the result. During the bid, Shawn came out to the house, and after listening to what I wanted, offered up some alternatives that would accomplish exactly what I wanted. He was honest about what could be done, and what would likely be more difficult (expensive) to accomplish. The day the work was to be done, they showed up on time, and everything was professionally executed. The guys were GREAT to work with, and did everything they could to make sure my wife and I were fully satisfied. Everything we asked for was done in just a few hours, the work areas neatly cleaned up, and to my FULL satisfaction. The next time I need electrical work, I know who to call. Shawn is as honest and sincere and competent as anyone I have ever come across in the trades - I'm 59 years old, and I've hired a LOT of contractors over the years. I liked this guy!
Description of Work: Just moved into a newly-constructed house in Eagle River, and needed some additional electrical work done to accommodate our lifestyle. We added 1) an electrical outlet to a downstairs bathroom to accommodate an electric bidet (we just moved from Japan, and have decided this is a requirement, not a desire), 2) lights in the pantry; 3) an additional coaxial cable outlet in the living room, 4) install three personally-acquired overhead T5 light fixtures out in the garage; and 5) install two dedicated 240V/30A GFCI outlets and one 120V/20A outlet in the garage to support an electric home brewery.

They were outstanding. We have used them twice. They were very fast, very professional. One of the lights that he installed was a motion detector, and it was supposed to turn on automatically. He checked the functionality of that and made sure it triggered well. He was really good, I am really impressed. They were there exactly when he said he would be, and the price was excellent for the work that he did.
Description of Work: I used Bear Wire Electric. They replaced our garage lighting with LED lighting, and the second project was to repair a faulty trigger.
