Michael from first Wave responded quickly, installed the 2 outdoor lights and the hard wired smoke alarm. We are awaiting the permit for Michael to install the outside outlet.

Mike was pleasant and completed the job. He added a designated outlet for my sump pump and a outside outlet on my deck. Price was reasonable. I will call Mike again to finish up some more outlets and switches. Thanks Mike!

A+ for being prompt, accurate on time and on the scope of work. I did request to install needed equipment to run the generator and my house had some non-standard situations. I love that all challenges were solved in the right way, not the fast way. The electrician was very open-minded for debating on the possible approaches to an unexpected situations, etc. I love the work, very rational pricing and I would hire again.

First Wave Electrical was excellent. Mike was on time every day for the duration of the project, he was transparent about the pricing, and most importantly the work was completed to satisfaction. I had First Wave install recessed lighting in 2 rooms, change ~10 broken electrical outlets, and install a brand new outlet.

Very friendly, took his time to make sure the job was done right, and that we fully understood everything being done. And his price is unbeatable. Will not hesitate to contact him for any other electric work we need done in the future. If you're looking for an electrician, stop your search and call First Wave, you wont regret it

If you need electrical work done in your home, talk to Michael at First Wave Electrical before you talk with any other electrician. He knows his business, does fine work, is quick and efficient, and has fair pricing and great customer service. I highly recommend him to any homeowner needing a licensed electrician. If I could, I would give him TEN STARS. Kate M.
