Scott is very knowledgeable and fair.  Cole Electric also offers a military discount.  His estimates are always reasonable and the end price is very close or exact to his estimate.  I look forward to using Cole Electric for my bathroom remodel.

I highly recommend Cole Electric for all of your electrical needs; they are

professional, affordable & reliable! Scott Cole & his crew are top notch!



I had a bad experience with another company who improperly installed an

electrical panel at my rental property & improperly diagnosed/repaired several

electrical issues including a 250 Volts to outlets with floating/loose neutral

connections, disconnected grounding rods, and blown surge suppressor (just to

name a few) that they installed. It all led back to the improper electrical

panel installation.



I called Cole Electric for a second opinion and they quickly found all of the

issues. They recommended that I call the City Inspector out to inspect the

electrical panel before they completed any work due to the potentially

catastrophic errors they found upon initial inspection. The owner Scott Cole

walked me through the process of working with the city and ensuring proper

procedures were followed and everything was safe. He and his crew made sure they

were at my property when the inspectors arrived. His crew then went through my

entire home inspected and corrected all electrical issues I had and installed a

new electrical panel. When the city came out to do the final inspection after

all repairs were completed he made sure they were there with the Inspector for

the final results. I have told all of my co-workers and friends what happened

and have recommended they call Cole Electric.

Called for service and was done on the same day. Response and promptness was perfect. Technicians Steve and Russell troubleshooting process extraordinary - very professional and organized. Isolated to loose connection in an attic junction box. Also installed GFI outlet; all work done in less than 1.5 hours. I would use Cole Electric again w/o hesitation.

 The 4 man crew , led by Mason, was prompt and courteous. The installation went smoothly, and the recessed lighting looks great in the kitchen. Special thanks to Mason and the crew for a job well done. I will definitely call on Cole Electric for any future electrical needs.

I am the owner of Tailored Living of Eastern Virginia. When the electrician that has done work for me in the past failed to return my calls, we searched Angie's List for a quality electrical company, since we are also on Angie's List and trust the screening process. I hired Cole Electric to add some new circuits for a garage make-over project we were doing for a customer. Scott Cole and his team not only exceeded my expectations, but exceeded those of my client as well. Even the electrical inspector commented on the quality of their work, and stated that they consistently make his job easy. I highly recommend Cole Electric and will certainly use them again on future projects. Their prompt response, attention to detail, and pride in workmanship is second to none!

The work was outstanding. Scott Cole was punctual and quick with the estimate. The four-man crew showed up as scheduled. They were professional, knew what they were doing, were neat and cleaned up very well after their work. They finished the job fairly quickly without any issues.  All lights and fans work fabulously.

Mr. cole and his crew were excellent to work with. He was prompt in returning my calls and estimating the work. Mr. Cole and all of the men who worked at my home were extremely professional. The work was done on time, and the pricing was fair. The work area for both jobs was left clean, no mess left behind. I would recommend Cole electric to any one.

Guys from Cole Electric showed up on time, bonus. They worked diligently to trouble shoot wiring for old security lights, re-wired, ran new switches. Excellent Job. I also had them install can lighting 4" (6), Again great Job. I'll have them back for other electrical work in the near future. Finally a company I can count on.
