Northern Lights is a great firm to work with. We just had our system upgraded to a 200 amp service from an aging unsafe 100 amp.. The 3 man team showed up promptly at 7am and completed the job, inside and out by 12:30! We’re talking new wiring from street, through new weatherhead and conduit to a new outside panel ONTO the inside to brand new 40 space panel with all new breakers. All wiring cleaned up and breakers labeled! They were efficient, courteous, professional, and quick! I cannot say enough great things about Northern Lights Electric ! I highly recommend them and will be using them for all our electric service going forward. Job well done indeed!!

That is how you lose a good paying customer.
Description of Work
I have used this company many times before with good results so when I had problems with my smoke alarms I called them to come and make some changes, which included changing all of the alarms in my home and making sure the system worked well. The person I spoke to said he would get me a "quote" I told him I did not need or want a quote as I had been very satified with their and service. He insisted. Never heard back.

Hi [Member Name Removed], We're so sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the service you received on your most recent call. We appreciate the many years of service you have with us, and would love for that to continue. It is our policy to write an estimate/quote upon a request for service, we always want to be upfront with costs. We then email that out for your review, and approval prior to scheduling. We did email you an estimate for the replacement of those smoke detectors on March 23rd, I'm sorry if you did not receive it. Please reach out to us anytime at the office, we would be happy to email that again and take care of that work if you would like. Thanks so much, Tina

Great company to deal with. Provided a detailed quotation, worked diligently to schedule the job quickly, electricians arrived on time and completed the installation seamlessly, as two of the outlets were a bit tricky to access. Would hire them again without reservation.

Brain was amazing! He put the light together and taught us how it worked and then installed it all within an hour. He followed all COVD precautions and yet was personable and easy to chat with. It was very easy to communicate with the company and the pricing was transparent and fair. I will definitely hire them again

Hired to upgrade our condo electric system. Three people came to work on our system on a Friday. They worked all day, was rushing by the end of the day. Didn't want to answer any of our questions. Next day we found out that our hot water is not working, some how they didn't connect the hot water during the upgrade. We called them on Monday, they were pretty rude, didn't come to connect the hot water tank till Tuesday and gave us 4 hour window. We will not hirer them again.

I'm delighted to have been referred to Northern Lights and will no doubt be going back to them for future home renovation and repair jobs. The technician made quick work of our lighting and minor electrical project list in just a few hours thanks in part to his 3 1/2 decades of experience in the field. Friendly, professional, and skilled -- couldn't ask for more. Northern Lights is also incredibly responsive with providing or updating quotes and answering questions. Estimated and final invoices were highly detailed and any additional charges were explained as they came up. I appreciated the clarity on costs up front and transparency along the way.

Vin and his guys that worked at my home did an excellent job! Northern Lights Electric was one of the few who even responded to my Angie's List request. After some discussions and sending some videos and photos of my job request, I accepted their proposal which was priced very competitively. I had a panel replacement and a Tesla EV charger installed. The guys did an excellent job and were very attentive to my questions and concerns.

This is the second time I've hired Northern Lights Electric to do work on my home and I'll hire them again and again and again. Why? Because they do excellent work for a VERY fair price. In addition, their representatives arrive on time, are polite and respectful and will work constantly until the job is done and done correctly. I love these guys! Hire them. You won't go wrong.

Terribly. Northern Lights had done a lot of work for me (thousands of dollars) in the past, but now that they are better established, they seem to be much less customer-friendly. Took a day off from work to meet the electrician, Jay. The job was to replace 4 existing recessed lights with low profile recessed lights. Fifteen seconds into the job I was told it couldn't be done because the low profile lights needed to fit exactly into the opening otherwise they would fall out. He told me he thought they were a new installation. The electrician clearly didn't read the work order before arriving to do the job as it clearly stated that he was replacing existing lights. Second, there was a disagreement on whether his ladder (10 ft) would be tall enough to reach the higher lights. I had incorrectly estimated the height of the ceiling (it was 13' and I said it was 12'), and that was on me. Agreeing that the job could not be done, he told me he would need to charge me $100 as the height of the ceiling was not correct - notwithstanding the fact that he claimed that he wasn't able to install the lights in the first place as they wouldn't stay in place. I'm not perfect here, but it seems to me the height of the ladder is irrelevant if the job isn't able to be done as specified on the work order. It seemed like the best course of action would have been for him to call his office and discuss the situation and determine what the next step(s) would be before trying to charge me $100 for the "pleasure" of having him visit to tell me the lights I wanted to install would not work. Further, he wanted to take photographs of the home, which I would not allow. It did not end on a good note and words were exchanged. I called the office to see if we could resolve the situation, but they honestly didn't seem all that interested in helping. There are more polite and professional options out there.

[Member Name Removed], We spoke on the phone once our tech left your home, I understand your frustration, as we feel bad you had to take the day off from work and we were not able to complete the work agreed on. As I mentioned to you all of our techs were out for the day on other projects and could be sent to your home. I did offer to send a different tech to your home on another day and you declined. As for the $100.00 he was informing you that sometimes we charge a fee if we arrive and the job is not as described, he told you he would have to call the office to check. I would have told him not to worry about it, all work orders are reviewed in the office every morning, he did not thing it was new construction and that is why he brought the old work recessed lights. As you mentioned there were words exchanged, all from you including explicate language. This tech has been with NLE for over ten years and we have never had a problem like this, he is not perfect as none of us are but he gives 110% when he walks out the door and cares about the work he performs and making sure the customer is happy. Again sorry this wasn't a good experience, thank you for thinking of us and have a great weekend!

All around a great experience. Vin was able to come over and give us a quote in a reasonable amount of time. Very responsive over email as well. Stephen and Nick arrived early for the job and got right to work. They were polite and courteous in the home and really showed a strong work ethic. I couldn’t even convince them to take a lunch break! Really impressed with the work and the explanations after. Glad to have them as my electricians going forward. Also, their quote was much better than the other two companies I had come out. And of course, their work passed inspection!

I needed a bathroom fan installed and vented. I mentioned all of the details, in my request for a quote, specifically that I thought that it would need to be vented outside. When the worker showed up, he was not told by the office that he would need time to vent it outside. He said that would cost roughly 500 ON TOP of what I was quoted, and that he didn't have the time scheduled to complete the job in the same trip. He said it would take a long time to open the attic and get in there, as well as compete the job up there. I took his word for it. I had a house inspection later, and we got into the attic in a matter of 5 minutes, and the person doing the insulation work up there told me he could throw in venting the fan to the outside for 100 dollars. Now that I see how easy it is with my own eyes, I feel like I dodged a bullet by not booking Northern Lights to return and complete the job, which they should have completed on the day they came anyways since that is the job I ordered. Internal communication must not be their strong point, and I feel like they almost massively ripped me off on the price quoted to complete the job because the next quote i got was 5 times cheaper than their estimate. Also they do not repair drywall holes larger than 1 inch or so, so be prepared to fix that yourself further as well. That might be par for the course for electricians, so not sure it is a strike against them but be aware of that.

I'm sorry you didn't have a great experience. But I'm certain the Panasonic exhaust fan that we provided and installed, by a license electrician, is working just as promised. non-electrical jobs, like duct work can always be done at a fraction of the price by a handyman or tasker.
