Riverside Electric Inc is a Calais electrical business, and its website names Calais and Eastport as its service area. The company's site describes home backup generator installs: preparing the site, placing the generator, running the natural gas or LP fuel line and installing the transfer switch. A recent Google customer had a three-way light switch stop working and could not fix it by replacing the switches. The technician found a wire that was no longer working, rerouted the power and got everything working; the customer thanked Angus. A 2025 customer said the technician BJ spent several days at their old house rewiring and installing outlets and fixtures. A 2023 customer said BJ showed up on time, explained what he was doing, and that the price for labor and materials was fair. A 2023 customer wrote that Wayne and Tre installed a new Generac emergency generator. A 2023 customer said Riverside Electric installed a generator within a couple of weeks of ordering and worked with the necessary companies to complete it. A 2024 customer said the men who did the installation answered all their questions and kept them informed, and that Karl helped deal with another vendor. A 2026 customer wrote that the company got their Generac maintenance wrong twice and then refused to service them after they complained. A 2023 customer said the office took a while to send the bill. A Maine electrician license, MS60016477, is active on the state registry, held by WILLIAM T. BARNETT JR.
Great techs and very professional to deal with. Good pricing and do it right and neat. October 28 2026 I had an electrical glitch where my three way light switch no longer worked. I tried replacing the switches and no success I called Riverside electric. They sent a technician and he found a wire that was no longer working. He was able to reroute the power and got everything working. Thank you Angus for a job well done.
They make a lot of mistakes. Screwed up my generac maintenance twice and then refused to service me when I complained.
Riverside Electric and especially the technician BJ was fantastic. He had an amazing work ethic and was at my old house for several days rewiring and installing various outlets and fixtures. He really knew his stuff and installed everything very professionally. Highly recommend!
I cant say enough great things about this company. They are very professional, competent, and reliable.
Professional, prompt, reliable, and honest. Highly recommend their service.
