Reviews frequently mention quick response times and technicians who explain issues clearly before starting work. Many note projects completed on the promised timeline and fair, straightforward pricing. Cleanliness and respect for the home are recurring positives, though one recent review raised concerns about boot covers and a diagnostic fee. Overall ratings indicate consistent satisfaction with professionalism and results.

Van Boon on Bates Electric

Rude owner. Who comes to a person's home in their dirty boots from the snow without protective boot covers? He said oh they just ran out. He seem rather annoyed when I asked him to check if he had any. I also carry some as we've had a lot of contractors come by. In any case, so much for transparent pricing. Charged $150+ to diagnose a panel, and offered half-a-fix. I was expecting $100 as I stood there and watch them take 5 minute to test if there's any voltage on the breakers. They did literally nothing else. They did not disclose the diagnostic fee before coming out. They offered to replace 2 of the 3 breakers because the other one is a gfci and they don't carry it? How about quote the gfci breaker and go buy it from Home Depot. Why the hell would I want 2/3 of my equipment repaired? Asked for a quote for a panel replacement, and it was about 2000$. They saw the large home and went on their Highway robbery scheme.

Baron is extremely knowledgeable and professional — he makes everything look easy, but it’s clear that comes from years of experience. He got everything done right on the timeline he promised and even went above and beyond. His prices are very fair, and communication was excellent from start to finish. I’m so happy with his work and will definitely keep recommending and using his services! My electricity is back on in only 2 days after meeting him! Really awesome ??

Ryan Wallace on Bates Electric

After one of my outlets suddenly began sparking and smoking (not installed by Bates), I called Bates Electric requesting emergency service. They were able to get someone out right away, and Ethan quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue. The promptness and professionalism was incredible. This was my first time using Bates Electric and they will absolutely be my go to for all future electrical needs. A+ experience!

I’ve had the privilege of working with the team at Bates Electric for multiple large projects at two different homes over the course of nearly a decade. Baron and his team are absolute masters of their craft! They take care to treat my home as if it were their own, and are happy to provide input or answer questions on the fly. The entire team is a consistent joy to work with. I will certainly continue to work with the team at Bates for all of my electrical needs!
