Replaced electric service box. Installed emergency shut off and whole home surge protector. Coordinated with National Grid and only without power for seven hours. Great job Jesse!

I called Choice due to an ongoing issue with my electric baseboard. I had never worked with Choice before, but the proximity and positive reviews guided me to the choice of Choice. Derek came the day I called, was on time, professional and an excellent communicator. The problem was quickly diagnosed by Derek, and something I was able to correct on my own. You can't always find honest workers/owners, but Derek is 100% one of those. If you have electrical issues, I highly recommend Derek and Choice.

Thank you Jesse. I so appreciate everything you and your crew did. It was a stressful experience and you absolutely made it easy. I can't thank you enough. One thing you did that so many companies do not do is kept the line of communication open and your follow through. In my opinion that is a lost quality that you have mastered. Thank you for all the care you put into this project and showed to us. I will highly recommend you to everyone!

You won't find more electricians more knowledgeable or more considerate than Choice Electric. Not only do they know their stuff inside and out, they're honest and transparent about the work that needs to be done. They really listened to what I wanted for lighting and outlets in my new home and delivered beyond my expectations. I couldn't be happier!

Highly Recommend Derrick for Electrical Work!

I recently hired Derrick for a meter consolidation and main service panel replacement, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his work. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient.

He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I understood the benefits of consolidating my meters and upgrading to a modern, high-capacity panel. The work was completed on schedule, and the attention to detail was top-notch. He also made sure everything was up to code and coordinated seamlessly with the utility company.

If you’re looking for a skilled and reliable electrician for a panel upgrade or any electrical work, Derrick is the person to call. Highly recommended!
