Electrical Switches & fixtures

The staff arrived promptly on time, solved all the problems in an efficient manner. They explained the work to be done ahead of time in detail and provided a quote that I agreed with. Should I have any further electrical maintenance needs in the future I will not hesitate to contact Captain Electric and recommend them to family and friends.

We think Kevin is awesome as well ! It's hard to find someone who is dedicated to continuing to learn the Electrical Trade, AND cares about people. With supply chain issues still a constant problem, - we try our best to stay organized and accomplish the tasks as quickly as possible. Thank you Ramesh for the kind review.

Master Bathroom potlights and rewiring

Had Ryan and partner out to re-route electrical from existing bathroom lighting and create new potlights + security light at the side of the house.

Ryan is friendly, clean, efficient and helpful. Would highly recommend.

By no means is Captain Electric cheap, in fact, they are quite expensive compared to other peers. BUT, you get what you pay for. They are expensive for a reason - they do a fantastic job and they always do it RIGHT. As a homeowner, you will have peace of mind knowing this job is done by the best.

Great Work

Kevin and his crew were on time, polite and very professional. We upgraded to 200 amp service, had some fixtures replaced and had a line put in for our upcoming heat/cooling pump system. It was done very efficiently by a 6 man crew of clean cut well organized electricians. It was our second time using Captain Electric and we would use them again and recommend you to use them too!

Installed ceiling fan and smart witches

This is our second time hiring Captain Electric, I was impressed that 2 years later the same electrician came to our home. Installed a upgraded ceiling box designed for fans and of course the fan. They had the required pieces on the truck and the installations was performed without any issue. Will hire them again and would also recommend them.

We strive to complete small jobs on the spot if possible. We actually track this number, and have been able to achieve almost 92% completion rate of small jobs at the first visit. This saves you time, and not having to book a second visit. Thank you MJV for sharing this information on this forum and posting your comments.
