I had a great experience with the technician Ben. He showed up on time, was very thorough, and even matched the the outlet with the wall color! The old outlet had been wired with reverse polarity so he repaired that. Excellent work and explained everything he was doing. I would not hesitate to use Bear Electric again!

Highly recommend. Ryan installed two new fixtures at our house. We also called Ryan when he had a couple outlet issues. He went above and beyond and ended up finding and replacing old wires in our attic that were damaged - which could've potentially been a major fire hazard. Overall, his communication was great, his prices were very fair, and his work was top notch.

Was caught off guard with the 75$ visit charge paid 150$ for them to reset a tripped outlet. Maybe there 15-20 minutes They helped but overpriced why I’m I paying gas because they came from wahoo? When they said they cover Lincoln

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer free estimates and price by the job and not by the hour. my prices are honest, fair and transparent.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
discussing the parameters of your project via email/text/phone call then setting up a free estimate to further evaluate the job. once accepting the estimate we can set a date for your project. i don't collect payment until the job is finished or we hit a stopping point in the construction process and you are pleased with the work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University as well as completed the apprenticeship program at Associated Builders & Contractors, Inc. in Lincoln.
