Mr. Clar did a professional job from start to finish. He had the proper replacement breakers and performed the work expertly. He was neat and cleaned up the work area when he was finished. I can recommend him without reservation.

Jamie was very responsive to any questions I had. We had to move our appointment back last minute and he was very accommodating to that. We had two outlets and an HDMI run through installed. One of the outlets and the HDMI was above our fireplace for mounting our TV. They understandably don't do patching work for dry wall, but the holes they made were very small and can just be fixed with patching kit. Was pleasantly surprised only two were needed. Great work and will hire them again for anything I need in the future.

I had a really great experience with Jamie and his team. I recently purchased a house and it came up during the inspection that the electrical panel had been improperly modified. I contacted Jamie and sent him pictures and the inspection report and then set up a time for him to come out to my house to provide me with a quote. Jamie was very responsive and was also open to alternative solutions. His team showed up on time and performed the work very efficiently. I had an excellent experience and I would definitely hire Clar Electric for any future electrical needs.

I had several electricians come in to estimate the job and describe how they would go about the work. Jamie Clar came to the house and he told me things the others did not and convinced me he not only knew what he was talking about, but that the other electricians were not going to do the job right. Their pricing is not the lowest, but I trust them explicitly with the safety of my electrical systems in my home. If I EVER need electrical work again, I will not waste my time with others.

My wife and I didn't know what was causing our electricity to go off in our bathroom periodically. Jamie came after hours and worked on the problem. He said something like this isn't usually a component in the fuse box (I had "Googled" this earlier and it said the same thing) so he took the ladder up to the second floor and went into the attic to see if our vent fan was the culprit....It wasn't. And, he tried other things as well but, in the end, it was the component in the "fuse box." Once he replaced it, all was well. If we have another electrical incident, we will call Clar first.

Terrific. Electricians arrived on schedule, completed the work quickly and cost-effectively, with fit and finish better than expected. As a bonus, a lively, good-natured group. I'd hire 'em again in an instant.

Jamie came out and estimated the project in a timely manner. He had a clear understanding of the scope and even suggested changes based on his experience. His crew showed up on time, knew exactly what needed to be done, performed all the work in a timely manner, and cleaned up after themselves so it was as if they were never there. All in all a great all around experience.

They responded super fast and were able to come out the next day. We had several lights in different rooms that weren't working. They came out on time and were able to figure out the problem and fix it pretty quickly. Definitely very knowledgeable. I would certainly use Clar Electric again.

Jamie within 24 hours called me back after I called him seeing his 5 star review on Angie's list. He patiently looked through an inspection report with pictures I received from buyers to my current home and was able to come out the next day to fix 2 of the 5 issues which were within his expertise. I was happy with the outcome, service, integrity and price he offered. On price, I usually feel ripped off when hiring people to fix things, but I was happy with that as well. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Jamie

Jamie and his team did a great job from specifying the work, completing the work, and following up with the city inspector. His team was nice enough to install a motion sensor switch for free and add a new electrical socket in our exercise room for a minimal charge. I highly recommend and we'll certainly call Jamie for future electrical work!

I tried to install a double three-way switch myself. Big mistake! I called Clar Electric and Jamie answered immediately. I told him what I needed. He said he would stop by after his current job. He called to say he was on his way. When he got here he looked at my messed up attempt and told me I got the wrong switch. He got a switch out of his truck and had the job done in a few minutes. Very good and very good guy. I would definitely use again.
