Wish I could pick more keyword items… Sean was AWSOME!!! Explained everything completely in layman’s terms. He was efficient and fixed the issue in a timely manner. I would suggest you call the office to get a best ETA- my email said 9a, but when I called it was 9a-11a. The girl that answered could be more professional, but did give me the right info.

The Local Electrician laid a new underground electrical line and installed a new circuit breaker box at my home. The work, organized and completed by Joe was exceptional. I cannot thank him and his team enough. The line replacement from the transformer behind the back fence to the house, plus the box installation was completed in a day with minimum disturbance to my yard. Im grateful. JD
