First off Mike is a great guy and a great electrician. He responded within minutes to my request and showed up to my house 20 minutes later and fixed my electrical issue and now everything is in working order. Thank you Mike

Mike was very quick to respond to our unexpected installation issue. He was very patient with my elderly parents’ questions, took the time to explain what the problem was, and got right to work making sure the new outlet is all ready for a new range install. When he realized the current gas valve had a slow leak, he took the time to cap it off so that my parents are safe in the house until the installers could take care of it when they come back.

We had a breaker issue and called Finner Electric and they came out and diagnosed the problem and fixed for a very decent price. Since he was coming anyway I decided to have him also replace 2 chandeliers and what an awesome job. Hope I don't need an electrician in the near future but if I do I will be using them 👍

They did a great job when I felt outmatched for some funky wiring going on when we installed an outdoor fan. They finished the job up in an hour
