This company gives above and beyond service every time. I coordinate and schedule multiple contractors for jobs and have found that Island Electric is one of the easiest to work with. They are consistent, caring and stand behind their work. They show up when they say they will and they explain things well when i have needed guidance. I am happy to give them five stars :)

Janelle Curtis on Island Electric Company

We were wondering if there was enough room on our electrical panel for a dryer now that we have a heat pump installed and charge our EV at home. Shawn tested the dryer outlet to make sure it was still working after not being used for at least two decades and estimated the load on our electrical panel. He also confirmed that the legend on our panel seems to be mostly correct. We very much appreciated Shawn's professional manner and that he checked a few extra things for us. Thank you Island Electric!
