Deal Electric is an electrical contractor that describes itself on HomeAdvisor as specializing in electrical upgrades and emergency backup electrical systems.
A 2025 customer said the local company that sold them a hot tub gave them Deal Electric's name to wire it up. The 2025 customer said the owner called back quickly and was on site looking at the project within a couple of days, and that Phil Deal was there on install day. A 3-way switch was forgotten that day; the 2025 customer said they texted Phil a day later and he had guys at the house the next day to fix it.
A 2021 customer who had called a lot of companies about a generator install said Phil answered within minutes, then installed it and got it running. A 2019 customer said Phil and his team installed their generator and worked with their schedule. A 2018 customer who had hired Deal Electric before described a new Generac whole house generator and said they were impressed with the coordination of permits and propane installation.
In 2018, a customer said Signature Pool and Spas recommended Phil Deal for a hot tub installation, and that Phil worked with the rest of their project team so they barely needed to coordinate anything. A 2018 customer said Phil, his dad and his nephew corrected some pre-existing electrical issues without additional charge.
A 2015 BuildZoom customer said they paid $3,499 for electrical work on an in-ground pool lighting system and later saw water coming out of the junction box. That 2015 customer said calls went unreturned, and that when Phil came out he said the junction box was too low and it was not his issue.

Purchased a hot tub from a local company, they gave us the name of Deal Electric to wire it up for us. Called Deal, and received a call back quickly from the owner and within a couple days he was on site looking at the project. I had called another couple of firms who didn't respond or provided quotes for twice the amount, but never saw the whole project to quote on.
Anyway, the day the install of the electric was to happen, Phil Deal was on site they had the work completed timely and professionally. I had mentioned that we also needed to have 3-way switch looked at and we all forgot. After the tub was done, the guys left. I texted Phil a day later and he had guys at my house the next day to fix my switch.
I have added Deal electric to my file of small businesses who I will work with in Rhode Island, they are timely, professional and courteous.
We had work performed by Phil and his crew. They were extremely professional and courteous. The work was performed quickly and they cleaned up. Prices are reasonable and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend it to others!
They did everything they said they would. All the workers were great. We had called a lot of companies to come install a generator. Phil was the only one we called that answered our call within minutes. He did a great job installing and getting our generator running. He went Above and Beyond with this installation
