Perfect !!! Bish Electric is the best in the business. I've been using this company for several years, and can't imagine myself calling any other electrical contractor. Seriously, there aren't enough superlatives to describe Bish. Professional, competent, punctual, as well as a wonderful source of advice and suggestions. Furthermore, a review of Bish would not be complete without mentioning the office manager, Tina. Tina is the "voice on the phone", and the initial contact. Her knowledge, organizational skills, and friendliness simply make everything easy. Thank you Bish Electric !!

Ron Bish visited my home ahead of time to give an estimate. He advised me about the different lighting possibilities for the den/office and for the kitchen. He suggested a couple of places where i could shop for light fixtures. Once we had decided what needed to be done, I scheduled an appointment via his very nice receptionist. The crew arrived promptly, worked steadily, and did a fine job. They were polite and professional. The bill was within the estimate. I live in a condo complex. As a member of the Board, I had worked with Bish on several lighting projects for the condo association. Although some people feel his prices are a little higher than other local electricians, I think the quality of his work is well worth the price, which certainly is not excessive. This project was the first personal one I've had him do for me. I was highly satisfied.
Description of Work: Bish Electric provided and installed track lighting in a small office and also installed a light fixture, provided by me, over the kitchen sink.

I emailed Ron Bish re. work I wanted done and he answered within a hour. He went to the house to examine project and then emailed me an estimate. (I was out of state at the time). We scheduled a time for work to be done. Ron showed up with the electricians and showed them what he wanted done. They were professional, neat, non-smoking, and experienced. The project took took approx four days of steady work. They cleaned up each day, were pleasant and accommodating.

He comes out in person and talks to me. David gives me different pricing options and then he tells me what he thinks is the right way to go. Everything worked perfectly when our power went out; I was very happy with it. He did all the electrical work when we built the house we live in 20 years ago so I have known and used him for the last 20 years. He is a wonderful guy and if you have an electrical problem; you want this guy in your house.
Description of Work: I used Bish Electric to install a generator transfer switch, including all the wiring.

We had had this same outlet worked on recently by another electrical company, only to have it go out again. When we tried contacting the first company again, they would not return our calls. Neither would any other local company we tried, until we found Bish. Bish Electric is the only company we have personally found in the greater Middletown, CT area that has a real receptionist answer the phone, answers questions or has someone call back right away, and follows through quickly on having the work done. Everyone we dealt with at Bish was courteous and professional. We definitely plan to use them for any future electrical needs.
Description of Work: We had an outlet that was not working and we could not figure out why. The electrician investigated and it was a simple case of a GFI that was hidden out of view needing to be reset. We had considered having that whole section of the house rewired, so I asked him to advise us on whether that needed to be done for safety or any other reasons. He said that it did not need to be done, but that he would recommend a larger box around the questionable GFI, to bring it up to code. He completed that simple task and his work was done.
