Starr Electrical Services is a residential electrician whose own website offers electrical work in Hermon or Bangor, ME, from panel upgrades to rewiring an old home. Google shows 4.8 stars from 45 ratings. A recent customer says Pete came out the next day after a power loss in an office and quickly found the wiring issue. A recent estimate request got a quick reply, that customer says, and the estimate was accurate. A 2024 customer said Pete put in a new generator box and switch in 90 minutes, and the final price came in well under the estimate. A 2026 customer said Pete wired a portable generator with a 50 amp inlet and an interlock, and later replaced a failing breaker and split that circuit in two. A 2022 customer said Pete upgraded a house panel and installed a sub-panel and wiring in a detached garage workshop. A 2023 customer who had just bought a house said Pete spent the entire day fixing wiring the previous owner had done wrong and replacing outlets and switches, then came back about seven more times for fans, light fixtures and a thermostat. One 2024 customer said the last of several projects damaged a wall, and that after multiple visits the home was left in worse shape. A 2024 customer said a switch plate was left sticking out of the wall after an outdoor light hookup, that a return visit left two holes under the switch, and that the bill was not itemized.
Both my wife and I are completely satisfied with the work that was done by Peter. He arrived as scheduled, did the work that was requested with ease. Would highly recommend Starr Electrical to any of my friends and family.
Pete and Tammy were great to work with—they got back to me quickly—price was affordable and the work was exceptional. I would absolutely use Pete again for my electrical needs!
They responded quickly to my estimate request, which was accurate. They did a great job!
Had a power loss in wife's office and we contacted Starr Electrical. Pete was able to come out the next day and quickly found the wiring issue. We will use them again, and would highly recommend them.
Excellent, cheerful work, took the time to explain the process and overcame the obstacles that an old house presents
