Paul is a pro who does great work at fair prices. I had him do two projects for us: a straightforward ceiling fan upgrade and a loose outlet repair that was anything but straightforward. He removed the old ceiling fan and installed the new one (with no instructions) in less than an hour. The outlet repair required a lot of creativity because of the location but Paul made a trip to the hardware store and manufactured a solution that looks and works great - and most importantly is safe! I highly recommend Collective Electric

Details: Yes, the location has an existing fan • Ceiling • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling)

Paul of Collective Electric was who we needed with the task that was at hand. Very courteous and understanding. We will recommend him to anyone. Excellent job done, especially with the time frame we were working with, to put our home on the market.

I hired Collective Electric to upgrade my electrical service and panel to 200 amp for eventual home electrification. He also installed a few new branch circuits for me. Paul was great and easy to work with. He showed up when he said he would, did the work we agreed on, and brought me in for consultation any time a decision was needed.

Paul is the electrician you need! Hes in high demand, honest human being and very reasonable with pricing. I asked Paul to come and change an outlet for me, and instead of just doing it to make money, Paul advised me of a better plan. He even helped me think through a couple of other projects I have to do. Ill be recommending Collective Electric to everyone I know and Ill be hiring Paul to take care of some of my home electrical updates in the near future. Thank you Paul!!
