Customer Reviews

Excellent work, but above all: trustworthy. While not the absolute cheapest, this is a case where if you are willing to spend just a tad more you will get the job done till it's done correctly. Here's what happened: Micah and his crew installed an EV charger at my house, and it was an unusual set up where he was also coordinating my solar panels with the EV charger. It turned out to be way more complicated than any of us expected. However, after charging his base rate, Micah (the boss) came back day after day without charging extra and personally saw to it that everything synced as it should. He would say things like, "I just want to see this to completion." and "I want it done right". I'm not sure where else you get the president of a company personally spends time at your site until the job is absolutely done right. Also, you should see how tidy and neat the work is. I strongly advise paying just a tad extra for his reliability, correctness, fit and finish, and trustworthiness. Micah is a man of his word and will get the job done.

Sam and crew were exceptional in making sure everything worked and was to our satisfaction. They were prompt and professional. Cleaned up both days that they were here. Highly recommend them!

Micah Electric upgraded my panel, installed an EV charger, and updated a bunch of old wiring in my house. They did a fantastic job and found several things that had been done DIY by previous owners that I'll just say I now sleep better knowing are out of my house. The work was done quickly and courteously. I also appreciated Micah discussing different options with me, so I could pick what made best sense for me (like leaving a breaker open for future solar panel install, fingers crossed). Highly recommend and will definitely use them again for future electric work.

Micah Electric was pretty much everything you want in a contractor. Professional quality work, good communication, reasonable prices. When we needed ceiling fans added and our old circuit box replaced, they provided on-site quoting and pricing breakouts for options we were still considering. The work was done as agreed, they responded in a timely manner when we had questions and they cleaned up after they were done. We'll use them again when we need electrical work done.
