I work for Jacob Grant Property Management and I use Wheeler Electric as a vendor, often. They communicate well with us, the tenants and get the job done in a timely manner. They're so easy to work with!

Report
Had them out a few times for different projects and it was pretty good quality work. But it wasn't until the 2nd or 3rd time that I realized a pattern that the individual or team would claim they didn't have a specific part during the job and have to leave for an hour or more to get it, and then I'd get charged for the extra time. This would seem reasonable except in all the cases I had them come out in advance to survey the job (simple stuff like installing light fixtures) or send pictures and do pre-calls to ensure there wouldn't be any issues like that - and yet it still happened. Only logical place to go is scam or a level of incompetence, and either way I've felt like I lost some trust with this company and am out an extra few hundred dollars :(

Tyson was very professional and fast. He took out heavy ugly light fixtures and replaced them. He also put in puck lights for energy efficiency. I will be using them again!

Gave estimate with fair price. The Tech, Carlos, was very professional and friendly. Did exactly what needed to be done and provided great service.

We are in the process of finishing our basement. The Sheetrock crew was coming on Tuesday, November 3rd. We needed a canister light installed in the closet with its own light switch. We also needed a separate light switch installed for the theater room. I had another electrician scheduled, but he never did show up. I called Wheeler, and they sent out Carlos the next day at 8 am. Very happy with the service, and the price. They do not charge a driving fee. We live in Rigby. Thanks so much!
