Tyler is sooooo kind. I called him way after hour, he called back right away, FaceTime me to walk me through how to fix my electricity issue. So thoughtful, so helpful. He surely love what he do and willing to go the extra mile to help his customers. Totally recommend him and use him again as he's now our family's go to electrician. Thank you so much, Tyler!

Tyler was punctual, professional, straight forward, efficient, and reasonably priced. We needed wiring to complete our car electric super charger installation that our new home construction builder failed to complete. We will recommend him and use him again when other projects arise.

Tyler is easy to work with. Had a ceiling fan installed without pre existing wiring and had a GFCI outdoor outlet replaced. Quality work don't hesitate to use.

Please reduce attitude that will help... no way contacting this guy again.  There are many other shops around you

Tyler was quick to respond to the Yelp Quote system and set up an appointment - this is quite rare during COVID since everyone is fixing up their homes.  He was on-time, wore a mask the whole time (along with his associate), and was quite meticulous with his work.  For each light fixture, he'd ask for our preferences (and when we more or less shrugged, he'd offer his advice based on how we'd use the light).  

When we wound up buying a non-dimmable fixture for a dimming switch, he talked us through our options and quickly adjusted the switch to meet our needs.  It's rare to meet someone like Tyler who goes above and beyond when many just do the bare minimum.  

Would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking an electrician.

We had an outlet start sparking on us and Tyler was able to come to our house within a couple of hours to fix the issue. He and his associate were very professional and knowledgeable about aluminum wiring, and even accommodated us by wearing masks inside the house. Definitely will keep them in mind if we ever have another issue with our aging home.

I would give zero stars if i could! I scheduled an appointment with Tyler...and he canceled via text message 30 minutes before and never bothered to reschedule with me.

I decided to give Tyler a second chance. I scheduled another appointment with Tyler for 530 pm and he no showed. I then called Tyler to ask if he was planning on attending our scheduled appointment.  Tyler did not take ownership for completely flaking on me AGAIN and never bothered to contact me and tell me he was not going to make it  AGAIN. I am appalled that Tyler did not have the decency or professionalism to notify me. Instead, I woke up early to wait for him and I completely wasted my time.

Fuck you Tyler and your bullshit excuses.

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AND I AM SHOCKED THERE ARE ANY POSITIVE REVIEWS.

Tyler and Chris are good reliable electricians. We had them put in 2 outlets, 3 ethernet ports, 3 light fixture boxes. They were always on time and called when they were on their way. We also lucked out and were able to get an appointment the following week. They were both nice to work with and explained everything they were doing. Tyler also has an impeccable memory. We explained the whole job and without writing anything down, he sent us a very clear proposal and knew exactly what the job was and was able to walk Chris through it, without us having to explain again. Tylers clear understanding of the job shows his experience in the field. I highly recommend his business.

We had to install a video doorbell and floodlight camera. Reached out via yelp for a quote. Tyler was quick to respond, came the next day and gave quotes which were better than others I had received. He was responsive after that when I had to schedule the appointment and coordinate the follow-up. He showed up on time, was professional and did a good job. Will use his services again if needed in the future

After having a less than satisfactory experience with another electrician, in comes Tyler to save the day. After notifying me of his rate (cheaper than many, in the middle of the pack) we set up an appointment at the start of the work week for today, Thursday. He actually stopped by about 30 minutes early which was fine with me.

After introducing himself, Tyler got right to work, first taking a quick inspection of what needed to be done, got his tools and ladder and tackled the upstairs bedroom replacement of a heavy and aged ceiling fan. Tyler was efficient, careful and worked like this was the proverbial piece of cake. No small talking here, as he concentrated on the task at hand. After he finished, he demonstrated the fan showing me the different functions of the remote. Everything was left clean as when he entered the room.

Next was a small job replacing a driveway sensor wall light which he had done in less than fifteen minutes. Altogether he did all of his work in less than 90 minutes. He even had some time to check out a faulty kitchen ballast which was our. He said that he would schedule return to fix it next week.

I am impressed with Tyler's work. Everything looks professionally done - no loose wires, or scratches on the ceiling, no chipped stucco, no dirt in the house, no dropping the light fixture and breaking the glass, and of course, he came wearing his mask in this day In age of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Highly recommended!

Thank you, Tyler, for your professionalism and work ethic!

Project including installing 10 recessed light and 2 ceiling lights in kitchen, living room and bedrooms. Tyler came with his crew (Chris) on time, super respectful and attentive to detail. After a quick walk through together, which was very engaged, Tyler was not shine to offer his expertise and suggestion (ie. What to put or demo, one switch vs two switch's, what will happen to my wall LoL).

After the walk through, 2 ceiling lights was deemed to be out of scope because I changed my mind, he offered pricing on the spot, which show his willingness to meet all customer needs, the pricing were very competitive and very reasonable. He went out to Home Depot bought the equipment to fulfill the out of scope request.

Come on that had to be more than 5 stars. He is honest, him team and him completes the project in 8 hours due to how they are well prepared and talented.

Given he owns the company, i am impressed how well he ran it. I feel fornaute to work with Better electric. I'm a very picky customer too

when project conclude, we are all happy to see so many new lights, my condo built in 70s use to have no lights in bedroom. Another star he is able to conquer the challenges to install lights for the first hand.

Thinking I shouldn't even be writing this review now, to keep Tyler to my future projects. But quality work and experience overcome my selfishness as there should be well deserved praise!

I love that Tyler knows what he is doing. Not all electricians can claim that. Reading other reviews about scheduling- I understand that he is busy and he is trying to make it work but for me- reliability and quality of work is more important than scheduling, especially when it comes to electrical work. I had a bunch of ever changing work (since I was in the middle of a remodel) - he came out multiple times for quotes and finally finished the job that I asked with good quality. Meanwhile, some of my other contractors removed a panel from my electrical box to get a paint match and I blamed tyler for it. He didn't think he and his team would do it but he agreed to work with me to get it fixed. When my painters brought the panel back, I realized that from the camera recording (camera that was installed by Tyler). I appreciated that in the uncertain situation- he was willing to work with me. Also, no issues with the work he did. I am looking to hire him again for more work.

I hired Tyler to install a 14-50 NEMA outlet in my garage for my EV to charge. He was responsive, simple, reasonably priced, and finished the job in very good time. I had a last moment change in my schedule and he easily accommodated by swapping my appointment with some others. Really happy with the experience. Will be able to test it out next week when my car arrives.

We had better electric do 4 recessed lights in our office space. Tyler's bid came in significantly lower than competitors and was able to do the work within our timeframe as well. Chris was very professional and had the job done in a single evening. Would recommend!

Tyler came out to my home and installed 2 ceiling fans and replaced a broken porch light. He was on-time, speedy and very informative about what he was doing. Cost for his services were super reasonable. Highly recommended if you're looking for a qualified electrician to get the job done!!

I contracted better electric to replace 5 ceiling fans in my house and Tyler was prompt in his responses and courteous, with an interest to get my needs met when I needed them on short notice. Chris came to perform the work and he was awesome! He worked so much harder than I anticipated. In my disappointment all of my original ceiling fans were placed incorrectly without the proper support box needed to withstand the weight of the fan (no wonder they always shook when they were on). Chris worked non-stop and never complained. He replaced all of our ceiling fans the proper way. He left our home sweaty, dirty, and exhausted but courteous through and through and never complained about all of the unanticipated labor and time it took. He was pleasant, professional, fast, neat, and all-around a pleasure to have in our home. I will definitely be contracting Tyler and his crew for my future electrical needs undoubtedly.

Found Tyler on Yelp. He did not disappoint.
Moms mobile home did not have any power on one side of the house.
Tyler arrived early(yes!!!) diagnosed the problem and gave me fair and really reasonable quote. He fixed the issue, on budget, and left the room clean. He's also very friendly which is sometimes hard to come by.
I will definitely be hiring him for my next project.

If I could give more that 5 stars I would.  

We're in the midst of the combined joy of Shelter-In-Place and working from home.  Me. the wife and kids are in the house all day, so those little annoying things we can ignore because we're on the way to work/school are starting to become big annoying things when you're in the house all day long.  

I gave Tyler a call and he called me back later the same day to set up a time to walk through the house and come up wit an estimate.  Tyler's schedule was pretty packed (a good sing IMHO) so we had to wait a few days.  A few days later he showed up on time (actually a bit early) to begin the quote.  Tyler was friendly and professional the entire time.  

What I REALLY appreciated was that he was able to help provide feedback on what we wanted to do and provide options.  In addition, he offered BOTH options AND (when asked) recommendations.

When it came to showtime, we had some last minute changes to the script.  Tyler was patient as adjusted on the fly constructing a revised quote which included making a run to Home Depot in order to get some more stuff because of the ad-hoc changes we wanted.  

Tyler also corrected some...less than stellar work that had been done by a previous electrician.  As with everything else, he was patient and took the time to explain the why, our options and his recommendation.

Tyler was professional, efficient and left the spot where he worked just as clean as when he started; easily one of the most pleasant experiences we've ever had with someone called in to do work on our house.  Rest assured that if we have ANY other electrical work, we'll be calling Tyler/Better Electric first.

Tyler helped install 5 ceiling fans for me and he was amazingly efficient, organized and clean overall, finishing the job in just about 2 hours.  Impressive and workmanship looked excellent.  He guarantees his work too which gives me comfort if anything goes wrong, I know he's good for it.  I know who I'm calling if I need any help around the house!

I highly recommend Tyler.
He came in and figured out what was wrong in my garage immediately and offered a quick fix instead of an earlier guy who tried to convince me that I needed a $2000 rewire.
I needed to fix my light fixture. He was very patient and offered his professional opinion without pushing me towards either option. In the end, I got all my light fixtures replaced and it felt really great.
I would hire him again. :)

Better Electric was recommended to me by a friend when I was looking for an electrician. I wanted to put in some can lights in the kitchen and ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Tyler gave me a reasonable quote and I had him do the job. He was punctual and professional. He finished on time, on budget and left my house clean. Im quite pleased with the work he's done and would hire him again.

Tyler is very professional and knowledgeable.  He identified a huge risk with my old, out of code electrical panel and replaced it.  Tyler is also one of the only electricians with the experience and expertise to install my generator transfer switch.  Highly recommended and will definitely have him do all my future electrical work!!

Bene Electric gave me a quote promptly after I reached out.  He guided us through the entire process if installing recessed lighting inside the house.  The work was started just a few days from when he gave us an estimate, showed up on time, did the job in the time line provided during the estimate and did a great job.  We love the lighting - it transformed the look of the house.  His suggestions to make some minor changes went a long way to improve the house.  Great job!

After reading all the great reviews of Better Electric, I gave them a call.  Tyler answered the call and he was honest about his busy schedule.  I shared with him that we lived in an older 2 story home built in the sixties.  The existing fan bracket was for a small light weight fan and I suspect it needed upgrading/replacing with a modern bracket that would support a modern fan.  He agreed an informed me about the various brackets used to support a fan up to 25 lbs or more.  Although his schedule was booked for 2 to 3 weeks, he squeezed me in the following week after he completed his final job for the day.  The day arrived and he sent me a text to let me know he would stop by for the job.  Once he arrived, he went straight to work.  He was very friendly and shared some great stories.  He replaced the old bracket with a new one with the proper rating in short order.  Next, he quickly setup the fan and had it working in no time.  I am so glad I gave him a call.  We are very happy with the results.  Great Job Tyler!  Thank you!!

Tyler was great! Arrived on the agreed time as promised and right away went to work. All the outlets on one side of the kitchen died and sure enough, he was able to find out the root cause. His rates are very competitive among all those who sent me quotes and he is quick in responding to your texts. Would definitely call him for our electrical problems from now on!

Tyler B, was wrong that he mentioned about the charge upfront.  I promise that he didn't mention about the charge before he started the job.  He did ask me to pay him $250 after he power ON the switch.  It is insane to anyone to ask $250 just for a 10 seconds of work.  I will never do a business with you and don't recommend to anyone.  The way it sounded like I had to cover his advertisement cost.

I had Tyler come out and do some electrical work I wanted some new lighting in my kitchen. He called me to confirm the appt and then showed up on time. He was prepared and efficient. He did exactly what I wanted and worked clean and fast. I already have some more electrical projects at my house that I need done and he is the only electrician that I trust. He's easy to get ahold of and accommodating to your life schedule. While he was there working on my lights he took a courtesy look at this outlet in my bathroom that wasn't working and he found the issue and fixed it for me.

Mr.  Bowers did some work on my home.  We lost power in our entire top floor. He was professional, clean and fair priced. We were lucky enough to get him to come out on a holiday weekend when no one else would! Very happy with his work. Will use him in the future. If he needs references, I'm glad to give one.
