It’s u fortunate that I could only pick three of the qualities to give Clarence. The man deserves all his flowers! Unfortunately my babies’ ceiling fan had broken and they had no air or light in their room and I was freaking out. But Clarence came to the rescue ! On time and patient with not just me but my kids as well with our thousands of questions. He even talked me through understanding what he was doing and I predicted that most. Definitely would do business again

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.
