Bell Electric is an electrical contractor whose website lists a service area running from Portland, Falmouth and South Portland out to Gray, Raymond and Hollis. The company says it has been in business for 10 years, and its own service list covers EV charger installation, panel and service upgrades, power generation and new home construction. One recent customer said Stephen Bell Electric and his team installed a whole house generator for them, worked neat and orderly, and left the work areas and the house cleaner than they found it. A customer in Harpswell said Bell Electric came to the house twice, once to install an EV charger and once to install an outlet. A customer who reached out on a Wednesday had an appointment scheduled for Friday despite being two hours from the main office, and praised the on-site work by Keith and Nate. One customer said the team located and resolved the electrical issues they were having. Stephen Francis Bell's Maine electrician license, MS60022330, is active on the state registry. On the Better Business Bureau, Bell Electric carries an A+ grade.
Stephen Bell Electric and his team recently installed a whole house generator for us. From start to finish, they were incredible. From the initial visit and throughout the process, his team represented the organization with professionalism and courtesy. Not one team member ever started their work without a hello and a handshake. They worked extremely hard and more importantly, neat and orderly. In fact, they left their work areas and our house cleaner than they found it, which is very important to us. The entire team (Stephen, Nate, Matt, Garth, and an apprentice whose name escapes me (sorry) were amazing! I would highly recommend Stephen Bell Electric and his team.
I have had Bell Electric come to my house in Harpswell twice (once to install an EV Charger and today to install an outlet in our house). I will certainly call them again for any electrical needs I may have because they are friendly, kind, professional and they take pride in their work.
I reached out to Bell on a Wednesday, and had an appointment scheduled for Friday despite being 2h away from their main office; Devon was super responsive and helpful in understanding our needs and getting something on the books, and Keith and Nate did great work on site. If I need to, I’ll definitely use Bell again, and I recommend them to anyone in the Portland area.
The team went above and beyond to locate amd resolve the issues that we were having with our electrical. Friendly and professional. 10/10 would recommend.
