A 2023 customer said a breaker box failed on a Saturday morning and Shawn was there by 12:30pm, made everything safe for the weekend and was back first thing Monday to complete the repairs. A 2023 customer hired the company for a complete rewire of their home, an upgrade and heat pumps, and called the price reasonable.

A 2024 customer praised the installation of a heat pump and electrical upgrades in a detached garage. A 2025 customer praised the technicians but was billed $700 for two people at 2.5 hours plus parts to replace a breaker, and was told that every job gets two people for safety. A 2026 customer said they were billed over $200 to replace a single GFCI outlet and that two techs were sent. A 2025 customer called the work sloppy and said a quoted job was switched to hourly halfway through. A 2025 customer said Plourdes wired a hot tub, a barn and a small building, and that their electric bill has since shot up to more than $2,000 a month. A 2024 customer said the electricians were two hours late for a first-thing appointment and called communication from the office poor.
A very honest and upstanding company.
Save yourself money and look for services elsewhere. This company will over charge you. I was billed over $200 for a single gfci outlet to be replaced. In case you don’t know it’s a $25 part and 15-20 minutes to replace. A simple one man job. They sent 2 techs out to charge me more.
Plourdes wired a hot tub,the barn and a small building. We have an old house and barn. Ever since then we still haven't used the hot tub or building. Our electric bill shot up into 2,000. Dollars plus a month. The electric company has stopped billing. They used old wires or circuits,something . We don't know what to do. Over priced and I feel I have been scammed.
Extremely sloppy work. Lied about hours worked and number of crew present. Have a quote to finish a job, then switched to hourly after getting halfway through the job. Gave false estimates, shutoff my power, then charged me to turn it back on. They have a well known reputation among other electricians who have had to go in and clean up their shoddy work. Do not work with them if you can at all help it, they will cost you 2X any one else in the area and come back to charge you more for work they said they would complete the first time.
great job and great staff
