Complete satisfaction! Alec is competent and professional. There was a light rain, so I called Alec to give him the option of rescheduling since he would be working outside, but he said it wasn't a problem. He arrived on time, did a great job, patiently answered my questions, and maintained a positive attitude despite the rain. He couldn't have been nicer, and the price was reasonable.

Alec was the consummate professional. I am a disabled veteran and he spent time with me discussing the problem, trouble-shooting to ensure we had all the information correct and then provided a clear plan on how to fix two ceiling fan installs. This guy knows his stuff and is kind, respectful and a pleasure to work with. Will definitely keep him in my address book for all things electrical.

Alec did a great job. He followed through on our concerns, especially installing the chandelier at a lower level so it's easier to maintain and clean. He had to install a scaffold to install it in our two-story foyer. A great family-owned business.

Alec and Suzanne arrived a few minutes before their scheduled appointment time. They introduced themselves and went straight to work. Within 20 minutes, they had diagnosed and repaired the issue. They were both very friendly and professional throughout the entire interaction. I highly recommend them and will hire them again for any other electrical issues that arise.

We can't say enough positive things about Alec & Suzanne. They are punctual, professional and responsive. Alec is extremely thorough in his approach to any job and considers the best way to handle each project. He takes the time to walk you through what he proposes and why. Whenever he encounters a problem that wasn't anticipated, such as when we remodeled the kitchen, he comes up with a solution without letting it delay the project. We have no hesitation in recommending Residential Electric for any electrical work that you need done.
Description of Work: Residential Electric has been our "go-to" electrician since they first worked for us in 2013. They have done small jobs (replacing lights, upgrading switches, replacing smoke detectors, etc.) and big jobs (rewiring the kitchen when we had an extensive remodel done in 2014).

- Quality work at a reasonable price - Polite and courteous. A real pleasure to work with - Very attentive to details. When they installed our new breaker panel, they spent several additional hours thoroughly marking each breaker after checking every outlet and light in the house. Now, we know exactly what each breaker services - They provide a full explanation of all options, costs, and benefit/value for each option so you can make an informed decision. You are not automatically steered to the most expensive solution - Extremely clean work. No damage to surrounding area. No mess left behind, even cleaned thoroughly at the end of each day when project lasted several days - Because our first experience with them was so positive, we have called them back for several more projects. Will definitely use them again if we have future electrical projects - We have recommended them to others who have also been very pleased with the quick response and quality of work
Description of Work: Several separate jobs Job 1 - First job was done as a subcontractor to install outlets for a new deck, which is how we first met them. Decking contractor was awful, but Residential Electric Solutions was excellent Job 2 - Replaced electrical breaker panel Job 3 - Installed lighting and outlets for bathroom remodel

Alec works with you to determine your need as well as the best way to accomplish it. I was very happy with the work and would recommend him to anyone. The County Inspector came and was so impressed with all his work that he even asked for his business card. Something I have never seen an Inspector do. His quality of work is meticulous with care taken to how it will look as a finished product. Friendly with experience. I have actually referred him to where I work and have used him there as well. Scope of worked performed has been over several trips as we needed him. From a New Addition, to updating outlets and new LED lighting, to power upgrades to pool pump, to outside plug to handle charging a camper trailer, to service upgrades that included power outlet to use portable generator for whole home. The list is numerous to what he is capable of doing.
Description of Work: I have had a complete panel upgrade as well as new service for an addition as well as updates to the rest of the home. LED Lighting, updates from 2 prong to 3 prong grounded outlets, Heavy amp service to charge camper trailer, generator service disconnect for portable generator, pool pump service upgrade with timer. From new construction to old work the service was excellent.

Outstanding. I very much enjoyed the remark of the county inspector as he looked at the new breaker box. After gazing at it for a moment or two, he said "That is beautiful!" To hear that from an inspector tells me that it must have been an impressive job.
Description of Work: Needed a new breaker panel, additional wiring, and updating all the outlets. Also replacement of several light fixtures. Additionally we needed upgrading of the wiring coming into the house and up to the breaker panel.

RES was exceptional in their response time, thorough approach and expertise to troubleshoot and repair as needed throughout the house and discover the root problem. Once it was apparent the problem started outside the house, they went above and beyond to contact the power company on our behalf to ensure the scope of the problem and the urgency to complete the repair ASAP was clearly understood. AND then waited until the first BG&E rep arrived to reiterate this information to ensure the repair was handled and completed properly. This was so helpful and reassuring. Their time, patience and team work was extraordinary. Given the scary situation, we were and are still so grateful for their time and expertise so generously given on short notice on a Saturday and most definitely would hire them again.
Description of Work: We experienced popping sounds, smoke, power fluctuations and continued burning odors early on a Saturday morning. This required immediate attention to troubleshoot and repair the whole house electrical system as well as ensure there was no further damage or potential fire hazard.
