Best Electricians in United States

I needed to replace a dryer outlet.  I called McNutt around 1:30pm and they were able to send someone out that afternoon.  They actually arrived early and had the repair done in about 20 minutes.  I am super happy with their service and they are competitively priced.  Well done, McNutt!

Yelp's localization does a disservice to contractors since the best of the best probably don't live in your immediate neighborhood.

John Henshaw and his crew qualify as the best of the best. Plus, he's a master electrician. (see tiny.cc/jhenshaw)

Now, let's be honest, We all want the most for our pennies and we may think that hiring a handyman to install simple things like fans make economic sense.  Think again. Hiring a licensed electrician is not that much more (Last i checked Henshaw Electric charged $150 per fan; the half-wit handyman I hired through craigslist charged $100 per fan. SInce I had to get Henshaw to re-hang said fan it actually cost me $250), He also grounded all the plugs in & around my computer and installed a surge suppressor in the electric box to safeguard all my stuff.

And yes, a licensed guy will charge a few bucks more but they are worth every penny. I can sleep at night knowing my fan or stove or whatever isn't going to burst into flames.

I've hired Ramon Umana twice since we went into contract for our new home.  He's dependable, professional, and courteous.  He emails to set up appointments too.  Ramon has rewired a number of outlets in my home, installed new lighting, and repaired faulty work done by another electrician.  I recommend him!

Double Diamond was a pleasure to deal with. Billie Vaughn does top notch work and I will use him anytime I get the opportunity. Highly recommended.

Totally unprofessional!. I called him( Ray) yesterday gave him my situation and address he said he would be here by 10am and that he would call me in the morning. He called at 9:46 to say he would be here in 45 min. at 10:23 he called back to say he thought I was close by to him. I told him I was on the southeast part of town and off the beltway. in the first call. According to the map on Yelp we are well within the area he serves. My impression is that he did not want to come at the last min he just wanted to get out of it and he got his wish....If I were you unless you are in his zip code and even then don't bother to call this unprofessional business.

Jamie was a God Sent. He did a great job he is quick and fair.

Very quick turnaround with great quality. Ben was very professional and helpful.

Quick response.  Showed up when they said they would.  Found the problem and fixed it.  Also, cheaper diagnostic fee than others in the area.  Can't ask for much more than that.

When someone exceeds your expectations you just want to share your experience. Philip was very courteous and knowledgeable. Everyone needs a go-to person for every type of house repair. Phillip is now my electrician.

I have used other franchised companies, but Phillip was much more reasonable. I wish I called him for my 1st electrical job as I spent hundreds more than I should have.

I am very happy to have found a good electrical repairman that is professional but fairly priced.

I have used Rubio Electric many times and consistently gotten great customer service. It's run very professionally. I always get a quick callback from the owner, Justin, and he always gets over to help quickly. He is polite, follows up to make sure everything is ok, cleans up, sends a clear, professional invoice, and has never failed to do anything but excellent work. I recently needed some work and not only did he promise a start time, I got a confirmation phone call and text confirming it. This time two of his employees came. They confirmed their arrival, were polite, clean, extra helpful, gave me additional clear instructions for what I needed to do, and were very nice and friendly - and professional - to deal with.  If only more contractors could do the same. Justin and his team installed Ring devices (some walls had to be opened up), and did other interior work. I will always use and recommend them in the future.

Shane was great and really worked within my budget. I had his guys add some outdoor electrical outlets, fans, and more. They Ensured it was water tight, used good materials and followed code. I appreciate the hard work his guys did, they were here until 8:30PM to ensure they completed the job, and did it right! I'll be using Murphy's electric again.

I dealt with Ralph at REM electric and was so impressed with his customer service.  Highly recommend Ralph and REM electric for their expertise,  professionalism and ETHICAL approach to business.  They helped us with our back up generator. VERY REASONABLE. I made the mistake of calling 2 other electricians, before I finally found REM. Learn from my mistake.

I was just going through paperwork and pulled out my bill from this company.  I had one light switch that was not functioning properly.  The SALESGUY/ELECTRICIAN that came out said he had to conduct a full inspection.  My house was around 10 years old at the time so not old. He came up with a page full of recommendations of work that his company needed to perform.  Recommended work:  $5896.  Mind you I called for one light switch.   I ended up paying $341 that day for this switch and his inspection.  I never knew the inspection was a charge and would be so much.  He took forever to do this inspection.  It was a horrible/stressful experience.  I couldn't wait for this Mister Sparky employee  to get out of my house.  So BEWARE!  They will swindle you.

I hired 3 Guys Last March to remove existing Cellulose insulation and replace it. Luis recommended Fiberglass. I made it clear that insulation was not my actual concern, but that my issue was in having the insulation circulating inside the living space because my attic had never been sealed properly allowing insulation to pull though the walls when the AC/Heat runs and I was having health issues because of it. Additionally I wanted to add some plywood decking to a portion of the attic for storage. Luis said it would take three days, Remove Clean, Seal and Replace. He said he would add guards at the soffit vents also which I did not have and needed. Overall seemed very knowledgeable. I was very excited. I had saved a very long time to have this done. WELL..... At the end of the first day... the team left and I asked what time they would be back tomorrow.. He said, oh, we're done. I just thought, well ok. So it was a week or so later that I went up in the attic and noticed that they did not use plywood that I was charged for, but chipboard. Also they had decked part of the area with some rustic boards that were stored in the attic that were actually part of a shelving system. They didn't ask me at all. Frustrated, but let it pass. But then I removed some boards that I had previously put in an area for storage and had boxes sitting on them. The guys at the time of service said thy did not need to be moved that they would run the hose under them and clean that way. Well, they did not. When I removed them there was still old insulation there.. SO I called Luis and he sent them out to redo that area. They also at that time added the guards at the vents which they forgot to do the first time. I mentioned the plywood also but Luis never addressed that.  THEN I started noticing that I was now having all this new fiberglass insulation all over my house. It is SOOO MUCH WORSE. We went in the attic and started removing the boards they had put in the attic BECAUSE they laid them directly on Electrical wires AND guess what ABSOLUTELY NO insulation under all the areas they put decking. AND they did not seal the attic!!!! Maybe a few light fixtures, but missed several and did not seal ANY of the top caps along the Walls. AND THEN...It warmed enough to start using the AC, and I started noticing it shutting off so I called MY ac guy... my ducts were collapsed!! they had broken several straps that hold the ducting up. And This was all brand new the ducts had also just been replaced for this same reason. They were full of all that old insulation dust. So they were not damaged when those guys were in there. This duct repair cost me $550.  I emailed Luis twice now with photos and asked him to come back and seal my attic. He has not responded at all.

UPDATE to my review of 7/20/2015 (not enough space to add to original review):

Upon hearing my complaints, the owners of this business did try to make amends. They sent me an edible bouquet and sent a plumber out to flush out my water heater for free. It was the same problematic plumber who came before. He ran the discharge hose out to my driveway, which was only a few months old at the time, and put a huge rust stain on it, which I had to pressure wash so hard to get out, it took some of the concrete off (and stain is still faintly visible). He could have run the hose into the grass or into one of two highly visible PVC cleanouts for my sewer line that were actually closer than the spot on the driveway where he discharged it. Pure carelessness. I don't think this company is callous or deliberately dishonest, but they are overpriced and their employees are not the best.

Set yourself on fire before ever doing business with this John Henshaw clown.

Tried to reach the company for 1 week, left numerous messages when their phones were working . Never received a call back.

If they can't even answer their phones, I doubt they can complete a job properly and if you had trouble you would never be able to reach them.

DO NOT USE.

This poor old guy really should just stop and enjoy his retirement.  I would be surprised if his license is current.  REALLY SURPRISED!  and VERY DISAPPOINTED in the licensing procedure & requirements.

Our experience was EXACTLY as everyone has said!   We used this company because our Realtor recommended him!  (Someone didn't do her due diligence!!!)

THERE WAS NOTHING PROFESSIONAL ABOUT ANY OF MY ENCOUNTERS WITH CHARLIE.

I had sent 3 emails explaining that we wanted a quote on some items picked up during the home inspection on a property we are in the option period to buy.  I asked in bold letters whether the quote was free or whether the fee would be applied towards the work.  He never replied to any of my emails.  He had trouble finding the first one, which is why I sent & re-sent the same information.  He asked me to email him so he'd have all the details in writing.  I attached the inspection report each time.

When I reached him by phone Thursday afternoon, he thought he could come out the next day.  He never called.  When I called him Saturday, he thought he might be able to make it, but didn't.   He was very hard to pin down on time, so I sent him an email saying that we'd go ahead with his suggestion of meeting on Sunday afternoon at 2pm, and I wrote in bold letters that he should contact us if his plans changed.  He left me a message at noon saying that he'd need to push the job back a bit.  I called back at 1pm and left a message.  He never called back.  When I reached him at 2:15, he was out to dinner with his family.  We releashed the Realtor's assistant, waiting at the house since 2pm.

Our option period ends tonight at midnight.  Charlie and his right hand man finally showed up -- late -- this afternoon and bumbled around for hours.   There is a very entertaining video of them taking forever to replace a GFCI outlet with the power on!  It's as though neither of them had never seen -- or worked with -- live current before!  (Charlie claims he is a master electrician!)

Despite my list of items, which included checking a light over the stairs, Charlie showed up without any ladders or extension grippers and was wearing casual attire, not work clothes.  

When the bumbling finally ended, Charlie claimed he had conducted an inspection.  He had not, and he had not been asked to.  His bill was $450, and all he had done -- literally, all he had done -- was 1) call out the color of the recessed light canister in the ceiling (our Realtor's assistant knew silver canisters were OK against insulation, but Charlie didn't), 2) entertain us by replacing that GFCI outlet and 3) change that light bulb over the stairs by use of some creative acrobatics.   I wrote him a check for $250, and he left disgusted.  I think he got off easy!  I should have called the cops on him for representing himself to be an electrician!
