This was my first time using Forest Electric but it will not be my last. Gordon was more responsive than some of the other contractors I contacted (answered calls or returned missed calls the same day, returned all emails the same day or before 8 a.m. the following morning) and he and his crew were professional and pleasant to be around. They were able to perform the job I needed faster than two other contractors I contacted and at a better price. They kept the work site clean and did a great job.
Description of Work: Wiring and installation of multiple new outlets, light switch and overhead light in newly constructed walls in garage.

My ratings are based on their personalities and how comfortable they make me feel in my home. That is very important to me. We have used them about four times. I will absolutely use them again.

The main breaker in my circuit breaker panel melted down on a Friday evening. I called Forest Electric and they came out that night and got one leg of the service back up and running so I at least had some lights and stuff. Since parts were not available for my panel anymore, I opted to have them replace it with an upgraded 200A panel and new meter base. The work was completed the following Wednesday and they did an absolutely fantastic job at a great price.
Description of Work: Replaced meter base and replaced main panel with upgraded 200A service

The owner and his associates were totally professional in their approach to the job and in its execution. They were organized, courteous, and efficient. I will not hesitate to call Forest Electric for all my future electrical needs.
Description of Work: I had a problem with a circuit breaker tripping and not respondong to resetting. I called Forest Electric primarily becauase their address was close by. The cause of the trouble was not intuitively obvious. The owner and his associates did an excellent job of troubleshooting, finding several flaws in the wiring in this 100+ year old house, and ended up virtually replacing the circuit controlling most of the overhead light fixtures

Forest Electric did what they said they would do when they said they would do it. What more can you ask for? Well, in addition to that their work was neat, clean and done with pride. The men doing the work were friendly, professional, and fun to work with. I have recommended Forest Electric to friends who needed smaller work done and they were equally satisfied.
Description of Work: Complete rewiring and new installation of electrical components in home remodel.
