CM Electric describes itself as a residential electrical company and says it has been in business for 10 years. Its stated service area runs through Bangor, Brewer, Orono, Hampden, Hermon and Old Town out to Newport and Dover-Foxcroft. It holds 4.9 stars from 36 Google ratings and an A+ grade on the BBB. A recent customer used CM Electric for a significant electrical upgrade of an old home on Verona Island, with additional lighting and outlets, panel upgrades and baseboard heating, and said Chris promptly returned calls and scheduled the work in a timely manner. A recent customer said Chris arrived on time and the cost was exactly what he said it would be. After a bad power surge, a recent customer said the company fit them right in and told them exactly what happened. A 2026 customer said the company replaced their electrical box and panel, going from 100 to 200 amps, and hooked up a generator outlet. A 2025 customer whose kids broke a bedroom outlet said they got a call back within an hour, a quote over the phone and someone out the same day. A 2025 customer in the Bath area said Chris drove down from Bangor to fix another company's mistake that left their well pump without power. A 2025 customer said they kept working through a few bee stings while wiring a panel to the house. A 2026 customer gave two stars, saying multiple calls were required to get someone to come look at the job and then never heard back. A recent customer with an intermittent dishwasher issue said the company was polite and responsive and put the job on an end-of-day list, but a different electrical contractor's technician fixed the problem in 15 minutes.
Chris was great to work with! Prompt response, polite, and professional. He arrived on time and the cost was exactly what he said it would be. Will definitely use CM Electric again and I have already recommended him to a friend who is looking for an electrician! Thank you Chris!
We used CM Electric for a significant electrical upgrade of an old home on Verona Island. Our work required additional lighting and outlets, panel upgrades and baseboard heating. Chris promptly returned our calls and scheduled work in a very timely manner. He and his coworkers were always polite and professional with a real "can do" attitude. CM Electric is true to its's word as "on time and reliable". Thank you! Pam F & Brad A
Chris, Caiden and all staff have been GREAT! They are highly recommended! Last night I had a pretty bad power surge, they fit me right in and told me exactly what happened. Didn't overcharge, very HONEST. Very kind to my children. I will definitely be going back to them for my future electrical work! I can't speak enough good about these guys! Thank you for all of your hard work and kindness and HONESTY!
Called these Folks while attempting to troubleshoot a intermittent dishwasher issue. Extremely Polite and Very Responsive they said they put me the investigate by end of the day list. Ended up the other electrical contractor I called had a crew 100 yards down the street and they sent a Technician up who fixed the problem in 15 minutes.
Multiple calls required to finally get someone to come look at the job, however never heard back.
