The services went very well. Charles showed up the same day that I called him. He quickly determined what needed to be done and was able to perform the electrical services I needed. He was very polite, used a mask when he was in our place and also was a very polite, pleasant person. I thought his charges were very reasonable. I would highly recommend him.

Charles did a great job - quick diagnosis, efficient repair, and he explained and showed me everything that needed to be done. He also had the needed part in his truck. What I appreciated the most was when I asked if I needed an all new electrical panel for my 44 year old house. It was an easy opportunity to talk me into a much bigger job, but his honesty told me it wasn't necessary. That's a guy I can trust! I will be using him again in a few months for a number of other electrical jobs. Thanks, Charles.

back feed our panel from a portable generator
Description of Work: Charles recommended a solution to cover the entire house and helped install the back feed panel and use our existing wiring to connect it to our panel. The solution is clean and he was super professional, checking in to make sure things were running well after the install.

Quite well. He had the solutions to all the problems I wanted fixed. We discussed another outside fixture and I decided not to fix it. I liked how he was ready to give a time he could come and the charge (small) for coming out to look at it in our first conversation. He did have to go for parts at Home Depot but he couldn't possible carry a sample of what might be needed. He came back a second time when the special rings came in. And that job was very reasonably priced.

Prompt courteous and friendly. Charles is very knowledgeable, and explains things very well. He did not go over his estimated quote, in fact he was on the lower cost side of it. If I'm ever need of electrical work again I would not hesitate to hire Charles Viereck Electric!

The project went well as planned. Overall an A rating, though I only gave Charles a B rating on price because I received other bids simultaneously from various providers at a better price. I hired Charles because of his ability to perform the project at the earliest. Had I not been in a hurry, I would have paid 20% less of the cost of service. Nonetheless, I would absolutely consider Charles in other similar projects, if the price is right.

Charles was fantastic. Super knowledgeable and willing to offer suggestions and guidance during his initial review of the project. We had him install 32 recessed lights with no existing installation. He did a great job getting everything installed with minimal modifications to the house to run wires. His prices were fair and we got a great value for the quality of work we received. Would definitely recommend him and will call him again when we need an electrician.

Charles was prompt in returning my call, he was on time. He was efficient and knew exactly what he was doing. One of the fans had a bad motor which he confirmed with the manufacturer on the spot. He returned free of charge to install the new motor when I got it. His price was a little higher than others, but was worth it in the end.475

Long story short, Charles was swift to respond to my initial inquiry (unlike ALL the other electricians I called, and there were many!); He installed a 240V outlet in my garage two days later!! (I was being told by others that even as little as a meet’n greet would be at least a week out); He was quick, efficient, extremely knowledgeable, and highly experienced in his field!!; His price was 15%, Yes! 15% of the other quote I got!! I suspect the other quote was so insanely high because 1. that other electrician was featured on the Tesla site, and 2. it’s easy to scam someone who doesn’t know much about electricity – he was telling me I need all new panels installed etc. etc.). It certainly goes to show how valuable an honest electrician is!! Even after he completed the work, Charles showed sincere interest in my need for the outlet by doing further research and helping me charge my Tesla in the most efficient way! I have other projects in mind and I will not even remotely consider hiring anyone else!
