We couldn’t be happier with the fantastic service provided by Core Electric! They recently installed a 220-volt outlet in my kitchen for a new electric stove, making the switch from gas to electric seamless and stress-free. The team was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable, ensuring the installation was completed perfectly. They went above and beyond to explain the process and even tidied up before they left. If you’re looking for top-notch electricians who deliver quality work with a smile, look no further than Core Electric. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very professional! Even came out to assist me the same day I requested service! He installed outlets for my new granite backsplash. Definitely will be a point of contact for any electrical jobs in the future.

I was fortunate to work with Clarence with Core Electric. He was very communicative from the start. He was prompt, worked fast and efficiently. I would recommend over and over again, 10 out of 10.

Clarance answered within 15 min of posting, I emailed my project, agreed on a date and time. He called when 15 min away, got here exactly on time. Showed him the specifics, he gave a reasonable cost I agreed. Started and was done within 1 1/2 hrs.
Installed 2 outside garage lights, 1 outside electrical outlet, repaired 2 indoor light switches. We will be calling again for additional work. Husband & I highly recommend his services.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Clarence and Core Electric! He’s a consummate professional who really knows his craft: he takes pride in his work, and it shows. He tackled a gnarly outlet installation, and ensured from the start that there was a clear understanding of the job details, and even took time to check my aesthetic preferences. He got it done in what felt like record time, without sacrificing a bit of care or attention to detail! He even took the time to make sure the area was spotless. The price was more than fair, he was punctual and personable, and I’m definitely calling for my next electrical job, and happily recommend you do as well!
