We recently needed a fan checked out that sparked when turned on. The reception recommended having a new fan on... standby in case it needed replaced. Both Cody and Brian were very professional and had the job done quickly! My husband is so happy to have a working fan again! Will definitely be using Cody and Brian from reliable electric again! I highly recommend this company!read more

Rarely do companies actually follow through with a real service recovery process for issues that come up unexpectedly... along the way -- but this team really has done an incredible job in accepting the responsibility for an error and taking the necessary time and resources to assess the situation fully and then respond in a very appropriate manner. Mistakes absolutely happen in any industry, it's the people that then have to respond to them that make or break the relationship in any recovery process, and this team has absolutely proven how great they are at recovery and how true they are to their word to the customer. These are good people and they deserve the recognition they get for the good work they provide.read more

I had a great experience with Reliable Electric! My husband and I just built a new house and we called Reliable to add... some extra lighting inside our home. The scheduling process was easy and our technician, Paul, was very great! He was nice and very neat/skilled with the work he did for us! We are going to have Reliable come back out in about a month to do some outdoor up-lighting for our house. Reliable is always great and we will continue to use them!read more

We recently had Reliable perform electrical service in early August to support wiring of new exhaust fans in our attic... in order to relieve excess heat and moisture, which produces a huge benefit to the health and longevity of a roof. The crew (Paul and Brian) did an awesome job, and they even went out of their way to change and correct an existing light fixture. We were very impressed by the professionalism and workmanship of these employees, and highly recommend this Dayton-area business for electrical services.

Reliable Electric did an amazing job for us. We would definitely hire them again for any of our needs. I give Paul my... highest recommendation. We really enjoyed his friendly positive attitude and he really went above and beyond to make sure everything here was working properly before he left…it was a rather complicated, confusing job, and he figured it out like a true pro. I’m very grateful to this company. Reliable Electric is the only company that’s ever been able to figure out a problem that we have been having for well over a decade.read more

I can't say enough about the quality of service that we received today from LA and Ethan. We needed some very outdated... ceiling lighting replaced, along with a vanity light. LA and Ethan were so friendly, efficient and professional! Also, we had a limited time frame for the service call and they were flexible and willing to adjust their schedule. This is our second time using Reliable Electric and will not hesitate to call them again in the future for any of our electrical needs.Thanks for the great service! --- Brenda Gabbard/Kim Collinsread more

We’ve used Reliable several times over the years and have never been disappointed. Today, Cody came out to look at a... ceiling fan that stopped working a while ago and two outlets that needed attention. He figured out the problem with the fan very quickly and explained it to me, which I very much appreciated. The fan is now working, and both receptacles are repaired/replaced. Cody is very friendly and professional and not only did he fix the electrical issues, but he brightened my day. I highly recommend Reliable. From scheduling the appointment, to communication regarding arrival time and getting the job done, they are top notch!read more

Reliable Electric did a phenomenal job! We upgraded our box from 100 to 200 amps. They came early and got it done... less than 6 hours. The team that came was very friendly and knowledgeable they answered all our questions as they went when we had them.I chose Reliable Electric from the positive reviews and also from the detail estimate that they had given us. I had called a few other places, but I wasn’t impressed with them like I was with Reliable Electric In the end I listened to my gut and went with Reliable Electric and I am glad I did! I will be calling them again for my electric needs in the future.read more

We had an unusual need: re-wire of an in home wheelchair elevator power cord. Reliable set us up for rapid assistance... since we are homebound without this elevator that allows us to go from a garage that is seven steps below the level of our home to our one floor house. There were no schematics left by the elevator company. Jamie stayed with the project, contacted the elevator company for install directions, and NEVER lost her composure. The job was done promptly, and we were able to exit our home comfortably. I thought the price was very fair for an emergency task.read more

Brent and Brian from Reliable Electric replaced an old Federal Pacific breaker panel with a new panel in my 50+ year... old home very efficiently. They also added some new outlets and ran some wiring for under cabinet lights in the area where I am installing a new kitchen. Very competent workers. They were also extremely polite and patient with a woman who is not familiar with electrical things and asks a lot of questions! I was pleased with the total cost and will be calling them for my next wiring project!read more

I called Reliable Electric after reading the reviews and they did not disappoint. Garrett and Ezra called to let me... know they were on their way. They hung a ceiling fan and installed 3 outlets on our recently enclosed patio room. They were friendly, professional, and did a great job! I was impressed that they cleaned up the area so well when they were done. I love that my new 3-season room is now ready for summer! I tried to hide my relief when they gave me my bill because it was several hundred less than what I anticipated. The next time I need an electrician (and I am already making a list!), I'll call Reliable Electric!read more

Garrett and Jacob did a great job! Advised when they would be arriving and actually was 15 minutes early! Started work... and did not stop until they were done.

I would use Reliable Electric again with no hesitation. Great customer service!read more

Reliable Electric continually and consistently meets every expectation. They're not the cheapest electrician in town... but I believe their prices match their value. High quality of work, professionalism, presentable, great communication, always on time. I've used them 3 times and will continue to do so in the future. Jordan and Elgin removed my old and installed new indoor light fixtures. Jamie did the same for my outdoor light fixtures and Cody helped with some repairs. Quality work is hard to find but being consistent every time is even harder. Reliable Electric always gets it done right and I know I can always count on them.read more

Needed two ceiling fan lights looked at. Reliable Electric was very efficient with the scheduling and working around my... availability. The day of process was clearly provided and a text message was sent with Paul's name and picture so I could verify when he arrived. This safety precaution is highly appreciated! Paul did a great job explaining what the issue was and how to handle future issues. He also spent time to give us guidance on future work we need to have done. Paul seemed quite knowledgeable, patient, professional, and informative.read more

Paul Anthem did an outstanding job repairing an exterior power line to my post lamp and even asked if I'd like for him... to install a photo cell on the lamp so I didn't have to always turn it on and off manually. Everything is working great now and Paul was extremely professional throughout the repair and installation of the photo cell.It is obvious that this company takes their time and does the job right as it took considerable time to get an appointment; but, it was worth the wait!read more

I was first made aware of Reliable as a contractor where I was employed. It was clear they were committed to safe,... code compliant work by their professionals. After the 2019 tornado, they were out almost immediately to provide a quote on replacing our mast head for our service and completed the work timely and improved our service connection. Recently, Cody and Jon came out and wired my electric tankless water heater after getting a reasonable quote from the the team. They were professional, thorough and their work is worry free for this homeowner. Every time I called the office, they were friendly and helpful. Reliable is...RELIABLE! Choosing Reliable for your home or business is a low risk decision. Thanks to the Reliable team.read more
