Carmichael Electric describes itself on its Better Business Bureau page as a small independently owned business specializing in residential electrical work, offering electrical repair and construction as well as troubleshooting and consulting. Philip E. Carmichael's Maine electrician license, LM50017737, is active on the state registry. On Google the business holds a 5-star rating from 8 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. A 2026 customer wrote that Phil and his son updated the panel and have been running new wires while breaking down an old system that was hard to figure out. A 2025 customer said he fixed an outlet for their generator and came out even though they were a little out of his regular area, at a price that customer called very reasonable. In a 2024 review, a customer wrote that after an accident ripped the power supply and meter off the house, Versant and Phil, with his coworkers, had everything fixed and power back about four hours later. A 2024 customer who had moved to Brewer said Phil re-wired their garage and replaced the mast on the house. A 2024 reviewer said Phil quickly figured out a garage GFCI outlet the customer had wired wrong and got it working properly. A 2023 customer needed a repair after a tree took out their power line late on the Friday before Easter; that customer said he was upfront that the timing depended on having the right parts, then came early and got the repair done. A 2022 customer said Phil showed up on time, installed lighting fixtures and gave a quote on future work, all within an hour, and cleaned up after himself.
I highly recommend Charmichael electric. Phil and his son are a great team. They do amazing work are very honest and extremely professional. They updated my panel and have been running new wires and breaking down an old system that is very hard to figure out. I don't think I could have asked for a better team.
Very professional, very knowledgeable, Didn’t treat me like I didn’t know anything. He fixed our outlet for the generator. We are a little out of his regular area but came out anyway. I would call him again if need be. Very reasonable price.
Excellent service. High quality work with attention to detail.
We had a pretty good accident in front of our home, just before 4 pm, where our power supply, and meter were ripped off the house. Between both Versant, and Phil (and his coworkers whose names I did not get), we had everything fixed and power back about four hours later. We’re very grateful for everyone who helped us get it fixed.
My wife and I moved from the midwest to Brewer, and we needed some electrical inspections and work done. Phil was very professional. courteous, and prompt. He did great work re-wiring our garage and replacing the mast on our house. I highly recommend Carmichael Electric for any of your needs.
