Due to shoddy electrical work in our home since we've been here, a set of 3-way to 4-way to 3-way wall switches were intended to power the light in our front entry hallway. I am not an electrician or electrical engineer, but I understand the concept of this switch arrangement and have successfully replaced a similar switch arrangement elsewhere in our home without any difficulty. We knew that our issue required an expert electrician to diagnose and resolve it. On this date, Steve from Palmer Electric paid a visit to our home to try to solve the problem. After two hours of head scratching and trying different approaches, Steve finally figured out the problem and fixed our issue. We are extremely grateful for Steve's expertise and patience while in our home. I doubt that an inexperienced electrician could have figured this out. We highly recommend Steve and Palmer Electric for home electrical diagnosing and repair.

A team of two electrical technicians successfully executed the terms of the contract. They arrived at my home within the promised time frame; performed in workmanship fashion; and respected my home throughout.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience with our company. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve you. We genuinely tried to meet your expectations and apologize we fell short, however; we take each experience seriously. If there is anything we can do further, please do not hesitate to reach out. For other members reading through the reviews. Please take a minute to read our outstanding reviews, for a full representation of our company. The Ring Pro Video/Doorbell was provided by the customer. We did make contact with this customer and was determined Ring is having issues with their new Pro series video/doorbell where they are shorting out the transformer. Just so happens, our electrician who installed this particular unit was aware of the Ring issue and informed the customer of such prior to installing and the customer stated to install anyways saying "let's hope is doesn't happen to mine". We did all we could but this issue has nothing to do with our installation. We offered to return and take a further look but customer wasn't interested.

Response from Palmer Electric Inc
We reviewed the order and are quite baffled by this completely unfair review. The customer called us last week and sarcastically laughed at our scheduler and hung up on her when she presented our service call rates. He then called back the following days and apologized for his actions and ordered a service call fully knowing the rates up front. Upon our electricians arrival, the customer signed our work order which again specifies the rates. The issue ended up being a tripped GFCI and our electrician reset not finding any issue which can happen with a GFCI. The customer was presented the charge of $120 which was exactly what he was quoted and was specified on the pre-signed work order. A $60 dispatch fee and a minimum 1/2 hr. charge of $60. The customer was angry that we would charge him the quoted rate for resetting a GFCI. Our charges are not prejudice to the cause of the issue. It cost our company the same no matter what the issue is. We still have to pay our electrician for his time to the job, doing the job and returning to the previous job plus our gas expense. As a courtesy and courtesy only as we were only attempting to show the customer our good intensions, we credited the dispatch fee of $60.00.

Palmer Electric did a great job. The technician arrived at the appointed time. He evaluated what needed to be done. He took apart the connections to the ground fault and checked to make sure all the wiring was in good shape. He then installed the unit and tested it to make sure it worked. This was all done during the Covid-19 issue and we maintained the proper social distancing. The technician was very courteous and explained what he doing. A+ job during a dark time in our nation's history. Thanks to Brian and Palmer Electric!

I would absolutely recommend Palmer electric. We worked with Steve and he was great! We first called their after hours service and Steve talked us through our phone call. He was very thorough and explained everything clearly. We had him over on two occasions as we could not find the source of an electrical problem we were having with our fridge, outlet, and light switch. He fixed all of these and was very thorough and attentive. He clearly knows what he is doing and even uncovered some other electrical issues we did not know we were having. He was also very respectful of our house and cleaned up after himself. Also, Claudia worked with us with scheduling and was great! Very efficient and got someone over right away. Overall, I felt like the company genuinely cared about us and addressing our problem. I would definitely work with Palmer Electric again!
