Electrical Wiring or Panel Upgrade
$183
From the contact call to Ben to the work the done by Awan, the service work call couldn't have gone better. A promised arrival time to do my repair was right on schedule. Awan was professional in every way giving me the confidence that his work would be first rate and it was ***** Buddy Electric will be my go to company for any Electrical Service work that I may need help with in the future.

Buddy Electric does honest work. They are easy to reach and are able to come out in a reasonable time. Awan took his time to troubleshoot all our wiring issues from a house built in the 1960s. Definitely recommend!

Ben, Sarah, Coulter, and Ken were all great! We had a number of small wiring fixes, two lights that needed to be replaced, an outlet added to the outside of our house, and a new EV charger. They were friendly, responsive, highly competent, and efficient in taking care of all of these items. Very easy to work with and we are very happy with their work.

Buddy Electric just completed some electrical work in a workshop we are finishing. This has been one of our best experiences working with a contractor. Very professional from start to finish. Ken was very responsive to my calls and Sarah did a great job with the installation. I could not recommend them more!
