So, here's what happened. I posted here mid-November completely stuck, my rental property had electrical work that was supposedly done, but my original electrician ghosted when it came time to get BGE service turned on. I mean, the rough-in passed inspection, but something clearly wasn't finished. Derek reached out within 24 hours. On a Sunday. That right there told me something. What really stood out was how he explained everything. He didn't just say "I can fix it". He walked me through the entire BGE process, what inspections were needed, and what timeline to expect. Turns out my first guy had left the job, maybe 30% done. Derek had to basically complete the whole 200-amp service upgrade, new panel, AFCI breakers, meter box, grounding, everything. Then he handled the BGE application, coordinated inspections, and saw it through until service was on January 8th. From my understanding, most electricians would've walked away or charged crazy money to clean up someone else's mess. Derek just did the work. I'm saving his contact for every property I touch. If you're dealing with BGE headaches or stuck with incomplete work, call Derek at Bear Electric.

Had an amazing experience! I got a chandelier connection placed and installed in my office and it looks amazing. They were so kind, professional and made sure that everything was cleaned up before they left. I love how it turned out, and they were a great price as well!
