Rock-Vern Electric describes itself as a residential, commercial and industrial electrician serving its home town of Tolland and the rest of Connecticut, and the company says it has been in business 67 years. A 2025 customer said Rock-Vern quoted a 14kw Generac standby generator with the pad, a 200-amp transfer switch, a new upper service and meter socket, trenching and the permit, and then held to the quoted price. A 2022 customer wrote that during a power outage help arrived within 30 minutes of calling, and the generator's carburetor was removed, cleaned and reassembled. A 2022 reviewer had a whole home generator installed by the company and later used it for routine generator maintenance. A 2024 customer described work ranging from replacing a bathroom fan and adding an outlet to running power outside for a gazebo with a new sub panel. A 2023 customer said hanging a TV above the fireplace needed all the wiring completed basically from scratch. A 2023 customer had an EV charger installed and said Steve came out for the estimate. A 2024 customer said a job was completed earlier than expected and for less than the quoted price. A 2022 customer said two messages, one with the answering service and one with the office, got no call back. In 2017, a HomeAdvisor customer said they were charged $95 when the technician pressed a reset button on a garburator that did not work. A 2017 customer said an outside light was bought and put in without consulting them, and that the price came in higher than they were told. On Google the company holds 4.5 stars from 31 ratings, and on HomeAdvisor 4.7 stars from 14 ratings.
The Rock Vern team have very strong technical knowledge that goes well beyond most electricians. They are also very honest and do their best to keep customer costs down. They can handle everything from solar arrays to your new AC wiring. I have worked in home construction for 40 years and highly recommend them.
This company is top notch. I wanted a whole house generator and decided to get a Generac. I contacted several companies and had 5 site visits. Out of 4 other companies only one mentioned upgrading the electrical service to my house but that guy did not provide a price. Rock-Vern Electric provided a complete price and included these products and tasks: • 14kw GENERAC home standby generator. • Concrete pre-cast generator pad. • Generator battery. • 200-amp GENERAC automatic transfer switch. • All Conduit, wiring and materials. • Labor required for the installation. • Generator cold weather oil warmer. • Load shed management module for the range and dryer. • Replace upper Service and meter socket. • Trench for generator power and propane tanks. • Permit fee included. With a lengthy list like this it would be conceivable that something would go awry and they would need to charge more but that did not happen with Rock-Vern Electric. They held to the quoted price. For that I am grateful but I am also impressed with the quality of their work. They are professionals who do outstanding work. A friend recommended Rock-Vern and I recommend them as well. I could not as for a better company.
i had an exhaust fan installed today. They did a wonderful job. They went above and beyond.
Have done a lot of work at our home, always an excellent experience from small updates replacing a bathroom fan or adding an outlet to larger jobs installing power outside for a gazebo requiring a new sub panel. Highly recommended for any electric needs.
Highly recommend. Completed job earlier then expected, and for less than the quoted price. Quality job.
