I would highly recommend Classic City Electric
Classic City Electric did a great job for us! They replaced all of our exterior lighting, fixed a wiring issue in our kitchen, and installed an overhead light in our wine cellar! They arrived early, were extremely polite and professional and completed the job completely and thoroughly! I would highly recommend Classic City Electric for any electrical needs.

No more tripped breakers
Outstanding work completed on time, on my schedule, and at a very competitive price… The previous owner had DIY added auxiliary boxes that Zack eliminated and integrated into the new panel with the correct breakers. No more auxiliary boxes and no more tripped breakers when the AC comes on!

Same Day Service
I received a quick call back from a message and they were able to send someone that same day to look at a broken fan and light. Communicated well and offered a very reasonable price for this visit and work. I would definitely recommend and will use them again.
