The cost was about half of any other quote. They did an excellent job. They were very responsive. They were friendly. They had the best price.

It did not go. I contacted them by email and then by phone (voicemail) and have not received a response after 11 days. Note that they claim contact hours 7 days a week. There is no way I would recommend this company!

Perfect service: Pete arrived 20 minutes after my call and had the broken circuit breaker replaced and working in no time. Fast professional service at a fair price. What more could you ask for: Would definitely recommend Overlea Electric Service.

We called on Fahers Day and told him our dilemma. We had lost power to a portion of our family room. He said that we should not have to pay for an BGE's problem. Electricity returned and disappeared a couple times. Finally it went out and it never returned. BGE was called. They checked our meter and all was working, so I called Overlea and spoke to Pete and I said that we needed his help. He stopped by the same day and our problem was fixed. Will definately call him again for electric work or maybe for a generator.
Description of Work: Checked outlets and replaced faulty one.

I received a quote from Pete because my neighbor had used them and highly recommended him. Not only did I receive a quote from Overlea, but also from three competing companies that had been recommended by others. Every estimate was different - different transfer switches, different size generator - I went with Overlea because for the price, he was able to give me a generator that could operate my whole home during a storm for a price that others were asking for a much smaller generator and transfer switch. He knew all the coding requirements needed by BGE, how to handle the gas meter upgrade needed - he even knew how much the upgrade would cost, which none of the competitors could do! He also works closely with one plumber so that together the whole process has been seamless and turn key - I was not required to do any paperwork - they took care of county inspections and BGE. I would highly recommend this company.

Pete came in and followed the electrical circuit to find why there was no power to the light fixture on the fan, adjusted the wiring, and got everything working.

Called Overlea for annual maintenance as an alternate to the original firm we used to install and maintain our Generac stand-by generator for about 3 years. Overlea's price was a bit less and they were able to schedule an appointment within a week, at my convenience. The tech was professional, neat, thorough and offered suggestions and answered questions. And they did not try to sell us anything! Based on this good first experience, I plan to use them for maintenance and generator needs in the future.

After getting a very high quote on simple maintenance from our original installer, I called Overlea for a quote on preventive maintenance (oil change, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, battery clean up and overall clean-up). His quote was much more reasonable and availability was good. As a matter of fact, he was able to do the job a couple of days ahead of schedule because a planned job in our area finished early. The tech was courteous and neat. We will be doing all our generator work with them in the future.
Description of Work: Did annual preventive maintenance and 2 year service on our Generac 8kW stand-by generator.

Overlea Electric was great. I was having a system built home newly constructed and Overlea Electric was used for all of the electrical work. Pete has a great work ethic. He is honest and dependable. He shows up on the job site at the agreed upon times and performs his work in a timely manner. Pete takes pride in his work and is very knowledgable. When I was unsure on what I needed Pete provided helpful advise. I would not hesitate to use Overlea Electric on any future electrical job that I may have. I will be looking in the future to have a whole house generator installed and Overlea Electric will be my company of choice. I cannot say enough about this company. It is hard to find a company that is trustworthy and stands behind their work. I found this to be true with Overlea Electric.
Description of Work: Overlea Electric connected the the electric service to my system built home and completed all of the electrical work.

Description of Work: After 20 years of frequent power outages, we had a whole house generac generator installed. Our neighbor suggested Overlea-it was an great referral. This is an excellent company. Pete made the experience painless. He was professional, personable, trustworthy and totally reliable. Pete was able to deal with our crazy standard poodle even when we were not at home.
