We have been dealing with Tom and Buck Electric almost our entire time in business. We use Buck as a subcontractor on our mechanical projects, in our own building, and even in my personal home. They are always dependable and always get the job done.
Chris and Dave were very professional and did a great job installing an electric sub panel for our water heater. We would definitely recommend them to anyone. Responded right away with cost estimate and service. Thank you all!
Buck Electric’s technicians were punctual, knowledgeable, neat, and fixed my electrical issues efficiently and in a timely fashion. I will be happy to use their expertise in the future.
Installed electric for sauna/heater. Communication was great. Team was very friendly, helpful, and respectful.
Local, small business that consistently provides great service at a fair price. Moved to a new house and used them twice. They always answer the phone, show up on time and provide quality, professional work at a fair price. And #1 they were always honest with us about the problems, which were very minor compared to what we thought what was wrong .
