Client Stories on Our Electric Panel Upgrade Services
EXCELLENT Based on 37 reviews Brenda HutchensonJanuary 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Brandon Whitley was exceptional! He personally returned my call to offer a sooner-than-expected appointment to investigate power surges throughout my house. On the day of, he even called to say he was running earlier than expected and asked if he could come 45 minutes sooner (yes, please!). After a bit of testing, he found that the power surges originated in the town’s transformer outside my home. My neighbor showed up, explaining that she was having the same problem as me (the town’s electrical box is between our houses). Can you believe he went over and verified the same problem, declining payment from her? This is very uncommon in today’s world of service providers. Brandon provided a letter, explaining his findings, including the voltage readings under load. He also examined and recommended replacement of my outside panel, providing an estimate for the work to be done in the future. Brandon was very professional, but answered all my questions in a way that even this retired RN & Grandma could understand. 😂 All in all, I would rate my interactions with Brandon at 110% out of 100. Sarah StrickerJanuary 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great customer service. Transparent and fair pricing. Would recommend and use again in the future! We used Whitley electrical services to install 3 pendant lights and 4 dimmer switches. Tim JohnsonJanuary 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Needed a large light to be hung in the dining area. Called and scheduled an appointment. Brandon called when he was on his way. Showed up on time. Friendly. Professional. Explained everything he was doing. Answered every question I asked. Cleaned up before he left. Light fixture looks great! We will definitely call him again for any electrical issues or installs we have in the future. Highly recommended. Srikanth UdayanandaDecember 25, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brandon is exceptional and highly skilled in his craft. His work is meticulous, and he is incredibly patient in addressing all my questions. Liz SamsNovember 26, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie YuanNovember 13, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was easy to schedule an appt with Whitley Electrical. The person I spoke to on the phone was easy to communicate with and the electrician they sent was knowledgeable and patient as well. Eric PuryearNovember 13, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brandon is a true pro. We hired Whitley to install a dedicated electrical line for a garbage disposal, which required extensive wire pulling through our crawl space, breaker box alteration, and installing the respective switch under our sink. Brandon also converted a 220 stove outlet to a 115. He showed up on time and delivered efficient, clean work with a friendly attitude backed by obvious expert skill and knowledge. Outstanding experience and finished product. We’ve found our electrician for all future work. 100% recommend. Cole EdwardsNovember 10, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing job done by Brandon! Everything went smoothly with extremely fair pricing 10/10 recommend! Skybird RoofingNovember 7, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience working with Brandon. He's quick and very knowledgeable. Will definitely use again for any electrical work. Trent CarpenterNovember 4, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top Knotch. Professional. Honest. Fair. Brandon epitomizes pride in his work and he is more than patient to take the time and explain issues during consultations. He helped me out of a jam with a new construction home. Brandon was able to deliver a high quality product in a market where competitors inflate their prices and cut corners. Not at Whitley electric.
