Working with Paulson Electric has been a Joy. I especially enjoyed working with Bob Gentry as he was there to answer technical questions about our large job and explain the details in a way I could understand it.

Bill Paulson and his crew were on site when scheduled. They brainstormed with our propane provider as a team to install a whole house generator. The job was completed as scheduled. The work was very professional. Another important point is the respect they had to listen to our needs and made sure we were comfortable with the actions they needed to take. In addition Bill called the day after the job was completed to be sure we were satisfied or had any questions about the unit they installed. He invited us to call him with questions or assistance in the future. This company earns the 5 star rating. Will and Sharon Hamilton

My boyfriend and I called this company because we had been experiencing electrical problems with our circuit breaker. After explaining that we needed someone to come check out the house so we could pinpoint what exactly needed to be fixed, the woman who answered told me that she couldn't help us, and hung up. I'm not sure if she was just having a bad day, but it's the first time someone has treated me like I didn't matter as a customer.
They wouldn't even come do an assessment before telling me they couldn't help me. I'm really disappointed in this company. Hopefully the next company I call will treat us with a little more decency.
