We design, install, and maintain electrical systems for residential, commercial, and industrial/manufacturing clients throughout Maine and its islands. Our team has the experience and drive to see your project through to the very end, always exceeding the expectations. With over 70 years of combined experience, there is no job we can't do (Power/service upgrades, lighting and lighting controls, Fire alarm systems, Mini-Split Heat Pumps, Generators, Photovoltaic Solar Systems and Battery Storage, Surveillance systems, and voice/data/video). Quality installations are key to the success of an electrical system, that's why we stand behind our installations with a 1-year workmanship warranty. We do it right the first time, but if something were to fail or go wrong we'll take care of it (for the first year) at no additional charge to you.
"After contacting a couple of other electrical companies, we chose to go with Simpson Electric and I’m very glad we did. Tyler Simpson and his team were very knowledgeable, professional, well mannered, prompt and understanding in getting the work we needed completed on time! Tyler thoughtfully looked at the project and helped us save money while getting a little more than what we asked for. They cleaned up the areas they worked in and performed some troubleshooting to ensure that everything was working as it should! I trust them wholeheartedly. I would call and/or recommend Simpson Electric anytime."

They also did my service upgrade and were completely professional through the whole process. I ended up with some MRCOOL units that worked really well this winter. They've been great to work with."

"These guys came out and worked in the dead of cold in the winter in an old barn and got the job done. It was a good value for the price point. They aren't the cheapest but you wouldn't want that with a professional electrician. John has a good crew of people working with him and they'll get the job done. This was a 100 amp to 200 amp upgrade with a sub panel and electric car charger install."

"I want to thank the staff at the Stratham NH location. As a new customer, we got off to a bad start with a scheduling misunderstanding. After my earlier review, I want to acknowledge that they reached out to me to turn a negative experience into a positive one. It's nice to know that this company cares about their customers. I am very happy with the service they performed on my recent Generac generator. The customer service department and the technician were very professional and courteous. I would recommend this company for your generator needs."

FAQs for electrical service projects in South Portland, ME
It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
Yes, although there are different types of electricians, they must be licensed, certified, and in most cases insured. States have different requirements for electrician licensing and certifications. In some cases, there may be licensing requirements at the local level, but not the state level. It’s always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. If licensing is not required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed electrician with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
