Review 1 (2024-09-13 - Rating: 5)
Michael came to convert an outlet for our washer/dryer and ensure it was properly grounded. His work is extremely thorough, and Im very happy with the quick solution to an issue that was stressing me out a bit.The other electricians I contacted said wed have to run a new ground through my place and it would be a lot of work, but Mike offered a simple solution! He also left it in a state where I could easily switch back to the old high voltage setup in the future, which was appreciated!Thanks again!! -

I am a repeat customer, Mike installed my ring floodlight on my garage with some wiring work in 2023 and today he installed one on my front porch. Very nice guy, reasonable pricing. I will be using his services again in the future. -

Michaelās Electric helped my parents with a Residential fuse box issue! My parents were worried, but Mike was very kind, and able to help just by answering questions, and offering his expertise in a way that was easily understandable! He offered to come over asap, and was very upfront regarding his Service fees and potential cost associated! He put my parents right at ease! You donāt always see that with Contractors, and this daughter is VERY APPRECIATIVE! -

We were having fuse issues with our 100yr house and called Michaels Electric. Mike answered the call right away. He asked questions to help diagnose the problem and even gave instructions to see if it could be resolved over the phone. He offered to come over the next day to avoid the emergency call charge. Mike is truly a man of integrity and we will definately call him again - highly recommended! -

Michael is a straight shooter, forward and upfront with all of his considerations and charges, his abilities and promises. He spoke and delivered and we received the exact service we needed with cost conservation in mind. If you do not go with Michael, I urge you to discuss your home improvement project first. -

Michael is fantastic. He is responsive, informative, upfront with pricing, and very hard working. He gave us a very accurate estimate for the work needed, even though I underestimated the distance between the panel and the outlet by half! (It turns out he expected that and built it into the high-end of his estimate.He showed up right on time, and explained what needed to be done and why. He worked all morning and we were cooking with our new stove by lunchtime. All of his work looks great, and he stuck to his original estimate.Heās very friendly and answered all my questions. Iāll happily keep his number on my fridge and to share his contact info with all my friends. -

Michael was an amazing electrician! We had him come out to fix some wiring in our kitchen. He was very easy to schedule, showed up on time, and was beyond professional. What I really enjoyed about Michael was he explains what hes doing and why he is doing it that way. He was more than generous to share his knowledge with me. He mentioned that he wont do a job if he feels its improper or if it will leave a customers house unsafe, even if that means he will lose money by turning a job down. He also was kind enough to give me some quotes for other work I was thinking about having at no charge. I had a different electrician come out after Michael for other issues I had going on (Michael was already booked up) and it was NOTHING like the service I got with Michael. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Michael if you need an electrician. I felt like his prices were very reasonable, especially for someone whos been in that field for over 40 years. I was quoted a lot more from other companies and the one company that did come out did a lot less but charged me a lot more. Any future issues I have, Michael is the guy I am calling! -

Michael was great about diagnosing several lighting problems in my recently purchased home and helping me find reasonable solutions. His pricing was upfront and fair. He even left a roll of electrical tape since I didnt have any! Thank you Michael!! -

Mike is outstanding. I had a double pole 3 way switch wired wrong. I called Mike and explained situation. He told me he could walk me through the correct processand save some money on a service call. After sending pictures of the switch Mike had the diagnosis and walked me through step by step. Everything was spot on and the switch is working correctly. Not many people would take the time to do what he did. Character speaks volumes about a person and Mike is top notch. Any future electrical needs Ill be calling Mike. Thanks Mike!!! -

Mike came out to replace four outlets in our home and swap out two hallway lights. He is very personable, great at communicating, and runs a very professional business. Im 100% happy that I chose someone trustworthy who puts customers first and has lots of experience to deal with the small finicky issues that might trip up someone less skilled. -

We have used Michaelās Electric twice, after receiving g a glowing referral from a neighbor. Michael is very professional and diligent about doing the job right. He responds quickly to requests for a proposal and his estimates have been very close to the actual charges. He was a bit early for both appointments and arrived in a clean and well presented uniform in a clean and well maintained vehicle. For the last job he completed, Michael had a more difficult diagnosis and he stuck with it until it was correctly solved. Michael is confident, works efficiently, delivers good value with a very professional and personal approach. -

I have had many electricians over the years and Mike is hands down THE BEST! He takes the time to explain what the issues are and to understand what I want done. Work is done efficiently, completely, and he even cleans up his mess. :-) I am very happy with the job he has done both times he came out. You can not go wrong having Mike take care of your electrical needs. -

Amazing experience with Mike. He was very understanding about a sudden schedule change and accommodated that which helped me out enormously. He was professional and talked me through what the problems were in our house before showing me a quote, and then finished the work very quickly. Easily the most affordable, but most professional expert weve ever had the pleasure of working with. We will be hiring him again! -

Called Michael about an issue with ceiling fan I installed. Through multiple calls, he was able to walk me through troubleshooting to fix it. Michael did this for no cost and on his own time. Iām glad to say due to his help, my ceiling fan is now working. Will call him for any further electrical needs. -

This is the first time I have used Michaels Electric and I was was BEYOND impressed. His knowledge, professionalism, and communication were outstanding - something I see little of these days. He left letting me know that he stands by his work and should I have any issues, to call him. I did not know how to program the switches, so I called Michael and he was at my home that afternoon. And, what was unbelievable - he sent a thank you card! I was actually the customer and was treated as such. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! -
Review 19 (2020-06-07 - Rating: 5)
Mike does excellent work and can be trusted. He is very responsive - same day service the first time and responded the very next morning to a late night request for service the day before. Heās done work for us at two houses and we are getting ready to use him on a third house and project because we know heās the right electrician for the job! He diagnosed a problem in our home that others had been unable to. Weād highly recommend Mike and his work. Thank you! Itās nice to have a dependable contractor to work with. -
Review 20 (2019-08-06 - Rating: 5)
Michael returned our call within minutes, and was out the next day. We own an older home with unconventional wiring. He was able to assess the situation and give us a quote right away. He was upfront and honest, showed us everything that needed to be done, and took care of it with no problems whatsoever. From now on, we will use no other. We recommend Michaels Electronic! -
Review 21 (2022-11-02 - Rating: 5)
Mike is our go to electrician! Weāve used him for over 25 years for large and small projects and will continue using him in the future. He is honest - never tries to āupsellā us, recommend something that violates codes, adds on things that arenāt needed or speaks in āelectrician jargonā to confuse/impress you. His pre-visit interview/estimate process is thorough. He patiently listens to what you say and never cuts you off when you describe what you need even if it may be hard to describe. He often asks āHave you tried this?ā to help you avoid having him come out for an unnecessary service call. His pre-visit estimates have always been reliable. In fact Mike has charged me less than the initial quote when he sees and assesses the situation in person. Mike always has had the supplies needed to do the job. Heās never had to run to an electrical supply or hardware store during his visit. Mike is friendly and doesnāt mind you watching him work. He explains what he is doing and why as he goes about his tasks. Mike and I worked together on his recent visit to solve a problem with a ceiling fan light that would suddenly come on at all hours of the day or night. He made sure that I understood that it may not be āfixableā before he came out to our home. We asked him to come out anyway. All of us were happy that he could fix it! He even showed me what to do on my own if I donāt want to call him should it happen again. I havenāt had an issue since he made the changes! Mike loves his job. He arrives at the scheduled time, is professional in appearance and demeanor and makes sure you are satisfied before he leaves. Give Mike a call as youāll be happy you did! -

Review 23 (2021-06-22 - Rating: 5)
Could not be happier with Michaels Electric. I called for help with blown outlets on a Monday night and by Tuesday morning they were at my house fixing the issue at a reasonable price. Michael offered suggestions to save us money before walking in the door, and didnt repair anything until he got an okay from us. Prompt, efficient, and friendly. We will be using them again in the future without a question. -
Review 24 (2020-07-26 - Rating: 5)
Michael was very responsive to our initial inquiry, asked all of the right questions to make sure he understood what our request was, provided feedback on how it would look (since it was going on the back of our house), and was able to fit us in quickly. The day of, he was on time - called to say he was coming when he said he would & was a able to get the job done efficiently, within the quoted amount. We are very happy! In a busy time for contractors, when we couldnāt get much response from multiple other electricians, Michael came through. We highly recommend & will use him again! -

Called Mike for two jobs at our new house. He was friendly, professional, super knowledgeable, and was there before I was. He walked me through what he was doing and even fixed a wiring issue in the bathroom while he was in there! Top notch work and, in my opinion, worth every penny. -

Michael did a professional job installing my pool table light. The light was perfectly installed, level, at the correct height, with proper alignment to the axis of the pool table. It looks great; the seller of the pool table said most of the lights he had seen were installed improperly, but not mine! I will definitely use him again. -

We have counted on Mikeās professional electrical service for the past 21 years weāve owned our home. His immediate response by phone and service along with his reasonable prices, keeps him as our only choice for our electrical contractor. His respectful and personable demeanor, (especially during this COVID-19 pandemic), is an added benefit. Mike appreciates his customers by offering the best value for their hard-earned money! -

Micheal was very professional and knowledgeable. He knew his codes and gave me great advice on what could be done. He informed me on what would need to be done, which help me decide if I wanted to have the work done. He ensured that any new additions would work correctly and not disrupt any existing functionality. His work was neat and clean. I highly recommend him. -

Having just bought groceries, and then to have Comm Ed tell us you need an electrician after 5 hours without power, Michaels Electric was a lucky find for us at 9:30 P.M. I called Michael hoping to make an appointment for the following day. Michael not only answered the phone but he solved our problem that same night. Michael is knowledgeable, professional, and economical. I look forward to recommending him to neighbors and friends looking for an exceptional electrician. -

Mike was quick to respond, easy to work with, showed up on time and got the work done in an hour. I had broken a ceiling fan and thought I can install a new one myself. Got to the wires and realized I was in over my head. Mike had it done simple and easy and if I ever break another I will absolutely be calling him again. -

Needed work to connect my HoT Tub and it was done timely and with thought as to not making it not look unsightly onto the house, but within code. Had him come back for outlets needed and it was also done professionally with an upfront awareness of how, how much and approx. how long it would take. In/out nice and clean. All the work was performed and done properly with no issues. Used Michaels services at my last home and that is why I had him out again to this new house. You want someone that is reliable, fair and you can work with and thats what you get. -

My electrical went out on one of my circuit breakers. I thought I needed to replace the breaker when I called Michaels Electric he gave me a suggestion on how to fix it myself. He said if that didnāt work to call him back and set up an appointment. I was so impressed that he would give me guidance over the phone, and if it worked it would save me money not having a service call. Sure enough, I got the electrical working myself without a service call. Next time I need an electrician I will call Michaelās Electric he is a very honest businessman. -
