I was in need of an outlet installation as well as the relocation of some circuits on my panel to accommodate a generator hook up. From the beginning this was a very professional and satisfying experience. Communication was excellent throughout and the work was properly completed as planned and when scheduled. Mr Samuels and his son were knowledgeable and offered helpful advice. I would highly recommend Expert Home Electric to anyone in need of electrical work.

I would definitely use Robert B Samuels again! They were extremely professional. They communicated with me every step of the way and they showed up on time to do the work. They did an amazing job on the four jobs I had them do in my home. They were very courteous and professional. They left my home spotless. Their prices were cheaper than other contractors in the area too! Definitely a class act - I would give them 10 stars.

From the first call Carol was amazing we told her what we wanted and she got us right on the books. Joey came out and gave us in estimate. We then spoke with Carol again and we were on the calendar and work was done that week.everyone we dealt with was very professional and listened to what we wanted and did not try to force anything on us. We will be using them again. Highly recommend them.

We scheduled installation of a full electric panel surge protector and flood lights. They showed up as promised, went over the details of what needed to be done, and completed the job as discussed. The installation was a bit complicated but they made it work based on our requests. We could not be more pleased with the job. Worth every penny spent!
