Report
Highly recommend Fountain Electric & Services. After several months of reaching out to local independent electricians with either no response or no interest in helping us solve our problem, Fountain was able to get us scheduled within two days of calling them. They were timely, professional and were able to install our new ceiling fan and resolve our wiring issues at our short term rental property. Will 100% use them again if the need arises!

Report
Had a technician come out and check out panel box. The tech was very nice. He called his boss and got us a estimate (which was 1,200) and said the lady would call Monday so we can order parts. All this happened on 4/29/22 (Friday) so we waited til 5/2/22 (Monday) to receive a call from the lady who order parts. It is now 5/4/22 and still no call back! It has been WELL OVER 80 degrees this weekend and they have not made their customers a #1 priority! Thank God for a FAMILY FRIEND who came and fixed our problem/concern and paid way less than what the estimate given.

Very prompt, professional and friendly. Best, fastest and hard working crew I have ever seen. They replaced my hot water heater in no time and went above and beyond. Everyone I spoke and worked with from the office to the crew, was so nice and very fast in responding and getting the job done within hours of calling. Couldn't be happier.
