Great experience from first contact to completion of job. Ryan (estimator) was prompt and took his time on going over our concerns/issues. We had a dynamic duo tech team of Jamie and Ben! They were patient and did a fantastic job with everything we wanted done. Thank You Reliable Electric

We hired Reliable Electric to install a new lamp post and light in our front yard. They were not available for a month or more, but they were worth the wait. We had gotten a quote from another company and the final price from Reliable was less than half as much. Adam and Joel were the technicians that did the job. They were professional and efficient, and they did a great job! We will definitely be hiring Reliable for any future electrical needs.

Had to replace an outside outlet and replace a cordless doorbell with a wired one. We had used Reliable Electric before and were very pleased, so we called them again. Our service technicians for this project, Cody and Josh, continued the excellent service we had experienced before. What should have been a simple install turned complicated due to the construction of the house, but Cody and Josh came up with some creative solutions, explained them to us so we could decide how to proceed. Soon we had a working doorbell and outside outlet and with minimal evidence that they were even there. Highly recommend Reliable Electric and their very competent staff.

Wow! I hired Reliable Electric to replace my electrical panel. Their prices were very reasonable. Their service was simply outstanding, starting with my first contact to the office. Angie was fast and friendly and fantastic at staying in touch. Jamie and Garrett, the technicians who completed the project, were professional and knowledgeable and didn't even laugh at all of my dumb questions. :- I had an issue I requested extra help with after the project was completed, and Jordan got it done. I really can't say enough about how pleased I was. I think it can be hard to find good contractors in a crowded field. I am so glad I chose Reliable Electric.
