The experience with Helm's Electric was great. The communication back and forth was timely and the service was top notch. I am currently discussing with Helm's electric to do another job. I would highly recommend them for any electrical needs.

All work was completed entirely to my satisfaction. Bob consulted with me and I explained what I wanted done. He had better ideas on how to approach my lighting needs. I went with his ideas much to my delight! His work was A-1 quality. It has been 3 weeks since I had the work done and I am enjoying it immensely. I highly recommend him and his company. I already have him ready to go on work at my daughter's house!

Bob Helms and his assistant Bailey were a couple of the most meticulous individuals that you would hope to have working on your home. Bob was down to earth and provided you with insight on the work as if he were working on his own home. You had confidence in his knowledge and the work that he performed. These individuals worked non-stop from project to project not wasting anytime along the way. If you hire Helms Electric, you will be happy you made that choice. I only wish the cost was 3 easy payments of $19.95 :>)

Bob has worked on several projects over the years in our home, the last one being a transfer switch for generator. I was considering whole house generator, but after talking with Bob went with transfer switch. Glad I did, much more cost effective and have already used twice for power outages. Work is of excellent quality with wire/cable runs straight and neat in appearance. He is very efficient at what he does, so you get a good value. Comes prepared with supplies on truck and has always been on time. I will continue to call on him for any future work.

Called 30 mins prior to arrival - ask to come earlier than arranged, which was perfect. Had to go through Attic to drill through ceiling to mount ceiling fan and run the wires to the switch. Excellent job - professional, friendly and cleaned up after the work was done. Would absolutely hire again.

Bob and a helper arrived as planned. They covered the work area with a tarp and removed the old fixture and installed a new LED fixture without issue. What an improvement ! This is not the first time we have used Helms Electric and we have been very happy with the results.

Had 5 ceiling fans installed in rooms, changed lights in kitchen, installed recessed lighting, and changed outdoor lighting. Work completed within a few hours. A few fans did not come in so they had to return to install another day, arrived on time, installed and also provided recommendation for another contractor for additional work I need to have performed. WI'll call again for any other work I need performed!

Bob was on time and very courteous. He did an outstanding job and cleaned up after the work was done. I will highly recommend Bob and his partner to family and friends. The cost was very reasonable. I live in Bel Air and it's nice to know that that we have an electrician in Harford County who performs outstanding work! I will certainly call him again if the need arises.

Apptmt time was for 8:00 am, Bob and his assistant showed up a couple minutes early. A tall ladder needed to be brought into front door, and they were very careful not to scrape any walls or bang into the old chandelier. The old chandelier was taken down and new one installed within 20-30 minutes. While the electrician was on-site, I inquired into having an electrical outlet installed on outdoor lamppost. I was pleased when Bob quoted $60 to install and said it could be done immediately. Overall, I was very pleased with everything and would likely use Helms Electric in the future.
