My solar provider went down and I needed a diagnosis for the system. Raceway has a great team. The front office is excellent providing good communication as to what to expect. The electrical evaluation was completed quickly and they were able to refer me to someone who is working on the SolarEdge inverter. Service: Electrical outlet & switch repair

I highly recommend Raceway Electric. Billy snd Sam did a terrific job. They were professional, on time, efficient, friendly and answered all of my questions. Billy changed settings on the LEDs to make sure I was happy with the brightness and tested different styles of lights over the kitchen island for me. While completing our project, they found the perfect solution to a separate problem we had. The prices are fair and reasonable and Mike, the owner, goes out of his way to make sure the customer is satisfied. Phyllis Dodds
