John Wengler and his staff are VERY professional. They were patient as I asked a LOT of questions and gave me excellent advice. John was a great communicator about the cost, timing, and options I had available to me from the very first meeting. His crew knew exactly what we'd decided when they showed up... imagine that! I didn't have to re-explain anything.  They were neat, efficient, and pleasant!  This is the first service crew who made my old house's fix-it list SHORTER instead of longer.
I thought Lighthouse gave me excellent service for a very fair price.  I would (and have) recommended them to friends and neighbors.

Frank and Robert took care off all our electrical needs and went above and beyond what they were hired to do, such as fix some of the drywall that we knew was going to be an issue to the point that all we had to do was sand and paint this way we didn't have to hire a plaster company to come behind them. I would highly recommend lighthouse electric to take care of any electrical issues or upgrades you may have. I don't recall how much it cost that's why I put 0.00 it was definitely worth the money and a fair price to say the least.

The electrical work in our new construction has been completed but we were very dissatisfied with Lighthouse Electric and would never recommend them.  Our primary complaints were that the owner of LIghthouse is impatient, rude and condescending, the company overcharges for inferior electrical products and they charge very high prices for any changes to original order.  They installed two complicated  programmable items (thermostat for heated flooring and a timer switch) with no instructions.  When asked for instructions on how to program & use these items,, we were told there would be a charge for instructions!   



We learned that our general contractor no longer uses Lighthouse Electric for their electrical work, so apparently there have been complaints from other homeowners.  There are many good electrical contractors out there, there's no reason to use Lighthouse.
Response from Lighthouse Electrical Services Inc
"We are so sorry to hear that you were so unhappy. As a response to your review, I will start with that I (owner of lighthouse) was at your job many times to check with my guys to make sure everything was going to plan. Everytime I was there you were not, Im sure this was because you did not live there at the time. As for the prices for the extras you wanted, that all went through the contractor and what his mark up is I can not control. When you talk about the thermostat for the heated flooring I'm lost as I did not supply that, that was your tile guy and teaching you how to use it was his responsiblity. We did supply and install the timer for the out door lights and instructions were left for you. We never heard from you, that you were having trouble with it, all's you had to do was call and we would have been there immediately to show you how it worked. We would NEVER tell a customer that we charge for instructions for products that we install. And lastly, yes you are correct we no longer work with the general contractor, this was OUR choice as he is on the verge of bankruptcy and owes us thousands of dollars. We were not getting paid on time for your job but never came to you with that, we finished your job on time. We eventually did get paid from the general contractor much later. If you have any questions about this please contact us."

Frank was extremely professional, knowledgable and had good feedback and ideas for how to accomplish what we were going for.  They worked with our time goals and got it in and installed on track with other projects we had going on.  I don't recall exact cost of everything but for time and materials the estimate and final bill were consistent and seemed reasonable to us - we thought worth the money to have it done right and they did it right.

I spoke with John Wengler, the owner, about the estimate. He gave me a good idea of the time it would take and gave me an estimate. They scheduled around me and when to have the power off. They stuck to the time and the budget. 
both the owner and his crews had good suggestions along the way.

Lighthouse Electrical Services replaced ALL the wiring in our house in 2002 when we did a total renovation to our 1960's house.  We currently have renters in the house and recently had to have the smoke detectors replaced. Living out of town, we fell back on using Lighthouse Electric, hoping our positive experience from 2002 would be repeated.  John was responsive, trustworthy, and concise in his work.  He is a craftsman.  We completely trust him in our home and we have had to hire from out of state.
