About
Quality shouldn't be a luxury. At New Ground Electric, I specialize in residential electrical solutions, from lighting upgrades to complex troubleshooting. I take pride in being a solo operator because it allows me to maintain a higher standard of workmanship than the big crews. I’m not just looking to finish a job; I’m looking to be the electrician you call for life. Licensed, insured (C10 #1153189), and ready to help.

Mario finished our electrical work very quickly and efficiently.
The work needed to be done was installing two new ceiling fans and replacing a GFCI Outlet. Everything was done in a very professional manner. He also did all clean-ups after finishing the work leaving nothing for us to clean after.
Details: Yes, the location has an existing light fixture • Ceiling • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling)

Sam, thank you so much for the kind words - it was a pleasure working with you! Glad the fans and outlet came out great. Looking forward to staying in touch for anything you need down the road.

Mario arrived as stated and quickly assessed the situation, provided a quote, and took care of the problem in the time specified. Additionally, he was able to explain and answer a question about my GFI bathroom circuit. He was awesome and I would hire him again as we as tell others about him .

I highly recommend New Ground Electric for any electrical work, especially complex or challenging residential projects. I hired them to service a light fixture in my foyer mounted over 25 feet high—a task requiring specialized equipment and strict attention to safety.
From the very beginning, Mario’s professionalism and responsiveness stood out. When bidding for the project, he was completely transparent, clearly outlining his labor rates and verifying his availability for high-reach work.
Because we weren't sure if the fixture itself was faulty, Mario provided a clear, upfront contingency estimate to replace the entire unit if needed. He arrived on time with the proper tall ladder equipment and handled the height with ease. We ended up just changing out the light bulb for now, and because of his excellent service and honest communication, we’ve already agreed to have him back to change out the entire fixture at a later date.
It is rare to find an electrician so organized, transparent with pricing, and well-equipped for high-ceiling jobs. I will absolutely be using Mario and New Ground Electric again!
Details: Replacement of existing lighting • 1 light • Over 14 feet (lofty ceiling) • Outdoors • Existing property • House

Derek, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review - it really means a lot. It was a pleasure working with you and I am glad we could get that light sorted out. Looking forward to coming back for the fixture swap- we will make it look great. See you soon!

Highly recommend! We recently had several projects done around our home and could not be happier with the quality of work and professionalism. He installed a dedicated outlet for our EV charger, replaced multiple GFI outlets throughout the house, installed a remote control system for our daughters bedroom fan, and added new floodlights in our backyard.Everything was done cleanly, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. He showed up on time, communicated well throughout the process, and made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. Its hard to find someone reliable who can handle a variety of electrical projects this well. We will definitely be using Mario again for future work!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and for trusting New Ground Electric with your home projects. Glad I could help with everything from the EV charger outlet and GFI replacements to the backyard lighting and fan remote installation.
Truly appreciate the kind words — that’s exactly the experience we strive to deliver on every project. Looking forward to working with you again in the future!
