A recent Google customer says Mike of Shorter Electrical Services provided prompt service at a reasonable price. A 2026 customer said they used the company to move an electrical panel to have everything to code before selling their home, and that Mike completed the work on time. A 2025 customer said Mike made the process easy with their permit for a home renovation. In a 2024 review, a customer said Mike repaired and upgraded their exterior electrical box after tree damage. A 2024 customer wrote that other electricians tried to "pad" the scope with unnecessary work, and that Shorter gave an estimate less than half of the other quotes. A 2024 customer said Mike was able to diagnose and make repairs the same day. A 2023 customer said they showed up to run a new electrical line for a new light and fan. A 2026 customer wrote that they were never told about an "after 4:00 PM" surcharge until it was time to pay. That 2026 customer also said he broke the seal on the meter after being asked not to if the power issue was on the utility company's side, and that no repairs were made. That 2026 customer wrote that after the service he offered a 20% discount for a "good review" on Google.
Mike provided prompt service at a reasonable price. Excellent service. We will use his services again.
I would strongly advise anyone considering this electrician to get a firm, written quote and a full breakdown of their fee structure before allowing them onto your property. I had a very disappointing experience for several reasons: Hidden Fees: I was never informed that there would be an additional "after 4:00 PM" surcharge. I only found out when it was time to pay. Ignored Instructions: I specifically asked him not to break the seal on the meter if the power issue was coming from the utility company's side. He ignored this request and broke the seal anyway, which can cause significant issues with the power company. Zero Results: In the end, no repairs were made and no new information was provided. He simply charged me an inflated rate to tell me exactly what I already knew. If you decide to use this service, be prepared to be "stiffed" with extra fees that weren't discussed upfront. Highly recommend looking elsewhere for a more transparent and professional technician. The Review Offer: To make matters worse, after the service, he offered me a 20% discount specifically if I gave him a "good review" on Google. I find this highly unethical. It suggests that his high rating may not be a reflection of his work, but rather the result of him paying for positive feedback.
I used Shorter Electric Services to move an electrical panel to have everything to code before selling my home. Mike was always very responsive, gave me a reasonable price, and completed the work on time. I’m definitely going to use Shorter Electric Services again for any electrical issues or needs in my new home.
Mike is reliable, professional and ALWAYS shows up! Trustworthy & knowledgeable.
We used shorter electrical services for our home renovation. Mike made the process easy, with our permit and was fast and efficient. Will use him for all projects in the future, thanks Mike !
