We were contacted, and after a short conversation, I was told they would try to get to my house that day. They came quickly, and were able to diagnose the problem and repair that which needed fixing!

Team was great, on time and very efficient. Answered all my questions and were all very friendly. Price was fair for the amount of work that was completed. This started as an emergency call and Chris walked me through the work that had to be completed. Problem was fixed till repairs could be made a few days later. Would have been fixed soon, but rain was a factor. Thanks again to all. Chris, Amy,Will, & Mason.

Excellent! I left voice mail and got a return text within the hour. He came right over and spent a lot of time getting to the root of the problem and solving it.

The owner Chris was fantastic and answered my calls and questions in record time, came out quickly for an estimate. Once great price was agreed on, he arrived on time with his staff to get started. This is an old house which I'm sure gave them some challenges, but they efficiently went about their business and answered all my questions, got the job done, left everything clean and made sure I was satisfied. Kudos to Will and Aimee! I would highly recommend and will definitely use Calkins Electric again for my next project.

Chris and his apprentice arrived within an hour of my call. They were very professional, efficient and very kind, and made me feel safe in an upsetting situation. He made everything safe, and will be coming back to complete all that is needed. I highly recommend him, and I know I will never call anyone else!

Excellent. Chris was very patient and thorough, he went above and beyond what I hired him for. I would hire him again in a heartbeat as well as recommend him to all my friends. I purchased a new pool pump which required a licensed electrician to place the electrical cord as well as the ground wire.

I wish I hired him to inspect my home before buying, as he was able to catch a lot of issues missed by my inspector. He quickly came to the house and fixed my dryer's faulty electrical wiring. I plan to use him again for many other projects I have planned. Very happy with his service. He even gives a military discount :)

Chris either answered my calls or called me back quickly. As stated in question 7 above, the work was very professionally done, showing Chris’ level of experience and attention to detail. Having noticed additional electric issues, Chris was able to make changes to make our home safer. Chris was also very nice to work with.

"Thank you for honest review but what you don’t understand is if you really called me I answer every call unless I’m talking to another customer. You can call me pretty much anytime of the day or night and my phone is answered pretty much every call"

I had an emergency on Saturday (my mom’s place wasn’t heating up and I was out of town) when it was really cold outside and Calkins Electric took my call. I texted him the situation and he gave me a recommendation. It worked. When a company is willing to help you out in an emergency, they are truly a great company! He was very honest. It’s hard to find companies like these nowadays. I will be calling Calkins for any future electrical work.

Excellent, Chris and Amie fit us in within 24 hours. It would have been about 10 hours but I couldn’t get out of work. I was very appreciative since we’re in a middle of a heat wave and it’s a day before the 4th. They tracked down the problem and also identified that the safety breaker was no longer operational. All was fixed. I have two other projects that I’ll definitely use Chris for.

Chris responded to my problem immediately (during a cold snap), temporarily replacing the Nest thermostat and turning on the furnace. He came back with Amy and Alex to rewire the Nest thermostat and assure me that all was well. His (and his coworkers) responsiveness and professionalism is impressive.

Able to schedule same day service, although not expected was much appreciated. Chris and Amy traced down the problem to a connection box and transformer under the deck. Repairs were made and they even assisted in re seating the sockets and switches.
