Viewlands Electric

I really can't say enough good things about Chris, the owner/operator of Viewlands Electric. Our 1941 house still had a lot of knob and tube which unexpectedly bit the dust one day. We had several electricians come out and give vague descriptions of potential causes, along with hefty bids that had us pretty nervous about the size and scope of the job. We were told we'd need a general contractor. We were told we'd need to remove the insulation from the attic. We were told the job would take at least two weeks.

Enter Chris: he came on a Saturday, took a quick look and explained clearly and confidently what needed to be done. He gave a fair estimate at a fraction of the others. He didn't take advantage of the fact that as new homeowners we know little about electrical wiring and sought to educate us instead. We were thrilled when his schedule opened up much sooner than expected and he quickly and efficiently got to work on our house.

In addition to rewiring almost every outlet in the house, he brought everything up to code whenever possible. He checked in with me every step of the way to make sure I understood and could give input as needed. He helped us create a more energy efficient home in the process, installing at our request:

-Nest thermostat upstairs
-LED lights and dimmers
-Two electric wall heaters and new thermostat downstairs
-New exhaust fans in both bathrooms
-LED lighted mirror downstairs

He also re-labeled our panel so we could actually understand it, put in a few new breaker boxes and fixed the weak connection on one of our main power lines.

Throughout his time working at our place, Chris was conscientious, cleanly, organized and was even sweet to our neurotic dogs. He was collaborative and patient in answering my questions and offered his expertise to help me make decisions re: appliances. In spite of all the extra side projects we heaped on the re-wire, he still came in well under budget. I so appreciate all the clear communication and feel like I have a better understanding of the electrical landscape of our house, too, which is empowering! Thanks, Chris! Can't wait to have you back to do our living room lights.

Viewlands Electric is a single operator company and Chris (the owner-operator) is an awesome electrician.

We moved into a 98 year old house and it needed a full electrical rewiring.  Along the way he installed and upgraded rooms and spaces.

A 'brief' list of the work Chris performed for our place -

1.  Full home rewiring (no more Knob and Tube).
2.  Added new outlets to rooms and exterior.
3.  Replaced service panel.
4.  Added new lines for appliances.
5.  Installed fancy ceiling fans (Haiku Home)
6.  Installed fancy smart lighting (Lutron Caseta)
7.  Replaced thermostat with Nest.
8.  Installed Chargepoint Home car charger.
9.  Replaced exterior low voltage lighting.
10.  Installed bathroom fans.

Our house was a big job and Chris took it on with a professional and timely attitude.  Chris is clearly a perfectionist with his installs as he leveled and flushed all of our outlets (even older ones which were previously done).  He works to code and does things by the book.
Chris was honest about the scope of the work and gave us a very accurate price estimate and timeline based on the rough outline of work.

Chris was available on short notice, I realize I git lucky but still... He made sure I understood what he was doing and why. Cost was reasonable. One satisfied customer.

Chris is a highly ethical and professional electrician. He was able to diagnose our problem quickly and explained what he needed to do. Our problem did reoccur, however. Chris returned and after asking some questions was able to locate and fix the additional problem. He did not charge us for his second visit. We highly recommend his service!
