Art Lawrence definitely provides elite, professional electrical service. Any type of electrical work you need completed, Art is the one for the job. He is also a specialist at what is called electrical troubleshooting. He really knows his stuff and his pricing is very fair. Art is also fun to work with. Highly recommended!

I had commissioned AC electric for a large electric job lasting more than 2 weeks to do some major repairs to my house. While the progress was good initially, they started doing other projects in the middle and skipping work at my project. After 80% of the project is done they have now gone missing for almost 2 weeks now. Emails and calls to them are resulting in no answers about how and when they would finish the work.

I understand they are going through some issues on their side, my project and move in date is now delayed by weeks with no line of sight to when the project will be completed. I would definitely not recommend them for an electric project to anybody.

Worst "service" ever. Called after having used this company in past. Past service was years ago and was good. Years later, total waste of time. Owner's wife stopped by to take pictures of job, commenting she was on her way to visit grandchildren. Visit was chatty and lengthy. She called owner and discussed job, price was discussed as well as many other non relevant things. I was under time crunch due to a move in date on an unfinished home. Debbie never followed up with me after a couple weeks.

I emailed her more than once and was told they would try for the following week, working on it, hard to say.blah blah, but to "hold on" and no promises. I was happy to wait for the right company, but after weeks of no update and again having to initiate the effort to get service, I gladly moved on to a company that came in 2 days and completed work quickly and neatly. The wife running the business and stonewalling didn't work for me.

AC Electric has been out to my rental property multiple times over the past 5 years to perform COPALUM repairs on my aluminum wiring. They also assisted me with a kitchen renovation, helping me to replace aluminum wiring, adding new copper dedicated 20A circuits and install new LED undercabinet lights in the kitchen. Most recently they demolished my old 1969 electrical service entry on my rental property and re-installed a new one.

They worked with my siding contractor to make sure the rotted siding was replaced behind the panels before they installed the new service. AC Electric brought by a loaner gas generator to keep our refrigerators & internet running overnight while the power was off. Photos are shown below of the service entry BEFORE and AFTER. I'm a picky client and their team has always done a quality job for a fair price.

Scheduled an appointment to get an estimate from Mike to run the electrical for my hot tub. Mike came out to my house and gathered all of the information he needed. He said he'd follow up with me in a few days with an estimat. Never heard back from Mike even after several follow up calls and emails.

Setting up the appointment was great, and Debi was very friendly. However, I can't really rate the quality of work, because the guy never showed up! No call, no followup to reschedule, nothing. Thanks for wasting my time
