Lakeside Electric Inc.

Lakeside Electric Inc. is a South Burlington electrical contractor with a 4.9-star average from 646 Google ratings and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. Its website says it has done residential, commercial and industrial electrical work in Chittenden County and the surrounding area for over 30 years, and a vermontbiz.com article names Darlene LeClair as owner and business manager. A recent customer had a 30-amp range circuit upgraded to 50 amps for a new induction range. The electrician found the wiring was already the right size, replaced the outlet and breaker within 30 minutes, then ran to the store for an Eaton whole-home surge protector and installed it too; the whole job came to $470. A recent customer described connecting smoke and carbon monoxide detectors across three floors of an older building with no holes in the walls. A recent customer said Jesse and Dylan worked two days bringing electricity, outlets and lights to a new two-car garage, and that Mark came right over the night lightning struck the house about a decade ago and fixed the blown circuit breakers. A recent customer selling a townhome from 1,000 miles away said the company let itself in the same day to start work for a fire inspection. A 2024 customer said Mark and his team refit circuit panels, fuse boxes, outlets and lighting in two units during a remodel and brought both up to code. A 2022 customer said Tony fixed the wiring in a 650-square-foot camp that was not up to code. In a 2022 review, a customer said Nick replaced a very old dryer outlet with a used part he had in his truck. A recent customer was charged an extra $500 for an apprentice, got it removed after arguing the invoice, and said the company then dismissed them as a customer. A recent customer whose basement outlet and doorbell were fixed in an hour said they had waited two days for a callback about what appeared to be an error on the bill. A 2025 customer said a woman on the phone started yelling when they asked about a charge on the final invoice. Its Vermont master electrician licence, EM-03751, is active under Mark A Leclair. In a September 2025 Reddit thread, a poster said Joe and his apprentice from LakeSide Electric helped them out tremendously.
