Owner/electrician Clarence was extremely professional and very knowledgeable. He arrived when he said he would and it was a pleasure dealing with him. The electrical issues were resolved. He recognized we had a faulty GFI installed and checked the wiring throughout the house at a reasonable price. We will certainly call C Read and Son Electric for any future concerns

Very professional experience. The service was superb from the initial call to completion. The end work is very high quality. Mr. Read showed great care in my home. He used a drop cloth to collect dust & debris, took care with my possessions, and cleaned up afterwards. My first choice for electrical work.

We received an estimate of $500 to $700 from another electrician to install one ceiling electrical box and wire it to our wall switch. We hired C READ & SON ELECTRIC instead to do this work plus install two additional ceiling electrical boxes and an outdoor weather-proof outlet, all for under $700. Clarence showed up as scheduled and completed all four jobs in a few hours. He is meticulous about doing the job right and we are extremely pleased that we hired C READ & SON ELECTRIC to do our electrical work.

Clarence was very professional and was able to take care the electrical problem. I was impressed how he problem solved the situation. I also appreciated his office manager, Jackie. She too was professional, retuned my calls promptly and friendly. I will use this company again as well as recommending them to family and friends.

Price quoted was very competitive. Jacki was able to schedule the work in my off day. Clarence the electrician, showed up on time, in the window given, with all the supplies needed. Took a couple of hours and added the outlet I needed, at the right location. Added the circuit breaker to the outlet, and a 50A fuse. Cleaned up after he was done. Now, I am able to charge my car at home! Thank you Clarence and Jacki! Will definitely hire you again, if I need anything electrical done.

I had four electrically-related jobs that I needed completed back in Nov & Dec of 2018, i.e., a bathroom light switch replaced; a bathroom vent fan replaced; an indoor atrium electrical outlet replaced; and two garage door lights replaced, with the addition of a timer switch for the lights. The immediate challenge for me was that we were having guests in our home, so I needed the bathroom light switched repaired ASAP. Although Clarence was booked with other jobs, he and his wife (who does the scheduling) made a special effort to immediately repair the switch – and then scheduled the other jobs for later in the month. Needless to say, I very much appreciated their responsiveness to my more emergent need. Clarence was very easy to work with and did a great job in each of the areas. I asked him to select the appropriate bathroom vent fan, which he did. The install required new venting – which was not as easy as we had anticipated. Clarence did a great job and we love the vent fan!!! I would highly recommend him for your electrical needs. He is responsive and dependable – and does a great job. We have been completely satisfied with his work!!!!

Clarence found the problem very quickly. It turned out to be a GFCI underneath a gas bbq in the back yard which he reset and it resolved the lighting situation. He only charged me half his normal service call rate which was a nice gesture.

Clarence was professional, thorough, fast and efficient. He left the living room clean and nice when the job had been completed. No debris on the floor, exactly as promised. His wife, Jacki, was exceptionally helpful in terms of scheduling and addressing our questions before the installation. I am very pleased with the job and this company.

Clarence arrived exactly on time, fixed the problem and then discounted the charge below his minimum because he worked so fast. I certainly was prepaired to pay the minimum and was very impressed with his discount. You just don't find this kind of integrity very often!
