Border Electric Inc. says it was established in 1961 and provides electrical services for residential, commercial and industrial customers, with a staff that includes engineers, master and journeyman electricians and instrumentation installers. Maine electrician licence MSS60004438, held by John W. Smith Jr, is active on the state registry. On Google the company holds a 4.1-star rating from 14 ratings. A 2024 customer who had used Border Electric twice since arriving in Calais a year earlier said the service came within 48 hours and the price was reasonable. In a 2025 review, a customer said the company responded quickly to a problem with the electrical in their house, checked it and called the power company, which had to take care of the problem. A 2024 customer said they came out promptly after a morning call. A 2024 reviewer described same-day service for an urgent issue. A 2023 customer said they tried for three months to have the indoor section of a heat pump moved to a different room; scheduled dates came and went three times without the company showing up or calling to reschedule, and that customer called the company pricey.
Great workers, great results
I commend and appreciate the very quick response to our situation with the electrical in our house. Not only did they check our electrical but also called the power company who had to take care of the problem.
Called them yesterday morning they came out promptly professional very nice people appreciate their help and knowledge definitely call them again if you need any help. Very nice man.
I've used Border Electric twice since arriving in Calais one year ago. Their service was prompt, within 48 hrs, and price was reasonable. I called the other big electric contractor in Calais and was put off weeks, then they'd cancel the day before, three times!!! to re-schedule. Wasted too much of my time. I'm just an average homeowner, not some big commercial client. I'd recommend Border Electric to anyone who wants to be treated with respect.
Great fast same day service for an urgent issue.
