Jon and Paul cleaned up what used to be a rat's nest of a outlet/switch/junction box and broke it out into a new... outlet/switch box and two new junction boxes.They were very friendly, knowledgeable, and asked plenty of questions to be sure that I was getting the service that I wanted. The work is clean, functional, and up to code and they cleaned up after themselves. The price was very reasonable.I had previous used Reliable Electric to repair the incoming power line to my house that was damaged during a storm, and the work was likewise reasonable and well-done.I highly recommend them for any electrical needs, because unlike some other companies, they live up to the name Reliable.read more

My technicians were Michael and Emily and my experience with them was extremely positive. They were very pleasant and... professional and worked great as a team. They did an absolutely seamless job installing a new electrical outlet in an area of my building that was very challenging, and the end result was even better than expected. They also swapped out an old exit sign and went above and beyond checking a few more and explained to me what bulbs were needed to make them fully operational. I was very impressed with Michael and Emily and I will definitely be using Reliable Electric again in the future!read more

Both the employee who came to give me an estimate and the two employees who did the work later were very professional,... knowledgeable and not shy to advise me (which I needed). The work appears well done and I am very pleased with the results. The company was very busy and it took about 5 weeks to get the work done (2 for estimate and 3 after). Would have been nice to get it done earlier but it wasn't an emergency. I don't know if the price was fair as I did not get a second estimate. Might have gotten it cheaper but I'm glad I used Reliable and will do so again.read more

I called Reliable Electric to look at my electrical issue-lights would not work in my downstairs bathroom, laundry... room, and closet. Tim came out and methodically troubleshot and found the problem, as well as an issue with an outlet that I was not aware of. He quickly made the repairs and was finished; it would have taken me much longer if I even found the issue to begin with. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service I received and would definitely give them a call again. I did not shop around so I cannot say they were cheaper or more expensive than anyone else but I think their prices are fair considering labor and parts.read more

Reliable removed all the exposed knob and tube wiring in my house, repaired an outlet, fixed an issue with my... electrical panel, and installed two bathroom fans. Paul and Jamie explained everything they were doing, made sure I could still work while they were doing their work, cleaned everything up, arrived when they said they would, and finished on time.

They had to do more than restore power - it was a bad wire from our detached garage building (containing 8 people's... garages) in my townhouse neighborhood We couldn't get our cars out yesterday and Duke determined the problem needed an electrician to repair. Michael Blair and Emily Amburgey went above and beyond. Even before they began to work on the problem they determined they could give my neighbor and I enough power so we could open our garage doors with our remotes (the manual release wouldn't work either). and get our cars out right away. They were so nice and in my mind - saved the day!read more

After talking to 4 people at Duke, Cody salvaged my night and sanity. 👍read more

Both Paul and Justin did an excellent job.

2020 Update on Second time I called Reliable: Jeremy and Lucas replaced the panel with new 200 amp service. They... were very efficient and polite. A couple days later Justin did a follow up call on a bad outlet that I had wired myself. He diagnosed the problem quickly and was very helpful explaining what he was doing. Cost was reasonable. They were all ok wearing a mask in the house which i really appreciated.________________________________________________Original Review - The office staff that answered my call was helpful and friendly. They were able to send out a technician the next day to solve a problem that was not an emergency. Matt Combs was the service tech. He called early to give me a window of when he would arrive. He was on time, courteous and efficient. He diagnosed my problem quickly and had everything in his truck needed to fixed it. He worked outside on a very cold day and was cheerful the whole time. The cost was reasonable and I would definitely call them again for future work.read more

Reliable Electric is amazing! True to name, they got the job done in record time, were very polite and did a fantastic... job. Cody and Jordan were awesome! Really took the extra time at the end to make sure my ring device was all set before they left and were so sweet. Now with good work may come a little wait, when I called in they had a 2 week lead time for the install need I had with getting a Ring device setup and power running to it. More than worth the wait I promise you! I know it's been done correctly, they answered all questions and explained what they planned to do and got it done so fast. Will definitely use Reliable Electric again for sure.read more
