After failing to get a response from a couple of other electricians, Mel Carr Electric responded to my call and sent Jason in the afternoon on the same day I called. Jason quickly replaced a bad circuit breaker that controlled my household lights but also pointed out corrosion spots on other circuit breakers. I decided to upgrade the circuit breaker box and power line. Jason come back the following morning and replaced the circuit breaker box, outdoor supply power cable, sealed all possible leakage paths to the circuit breaker cabinet and restored all circuits to an operating status. This wrk was completed within 7 hours. The work was done in a professional and neat manner. Definitely would call Mel Carr in the future.
Pretty rapid response to request for service - about three days. Dan A. was very professional - called when he was on his way, arrived within the time limits set with Rob, used covers for his shoes to prevent marking our floor, did not smoke, explained what he did as he worked. The reason for 4 stars rather than 5 was that I felt the price for the work was high, considering I already had all the parts available (except for wire nuts). Would I use Mel Carr again? Possibly, depending on response time and cost comparison with other providers.
Courteous and skilled technician

Excellent every time. We have been Mel Carr customers for years. Our 43 year old house has had some quirky electrical issues over the years and this firm and their staff is always fast accurate and courteous.

We have used Mel Carr for 20 years. Their guys are prompt, professional and friendly. The job is done quickly and well. Highly recommended.
Dave B. the service technician was great. He was prompt, courteous and fixed our faulty outlet without difficulty. Mel Carr Electric gave us great service with a same day response. Without question I would contact them for future electrical work and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family members.

Dan A provided excellent service and an overall assessment of our situation. He was very knowledgeable, completed our service repair promptly, and answered all my questions. I would call Mel Carr Electric again if I have any electrical need.
Chose local company ( always try to use ) - we live in same neighborhood. Was very pleased with prompt same day service. Dave is very professional, courteous and did excellent work. He answered all my questions and also gave me estimate for future electric work. This company is a keeper - will recommend to everyone. Thank you, Helen.
I contacted Mel Carr Electric regarding installing a bathroom fan. From the first visit to the end result, I was very satisfied. Everyone was very professional and explained the whole process very clearly. Dave B did the installation and was very professional. He made sure I was happy with the installation and answered all my questions. Will definitely use Mel Carr Electric again.
this is my third time using Mel Carr electric and I must say my experience keep getting better and better. I like it when a business gives you options to save money and explained what and how the work is going to be done. Sears used to be like this, now it mell Carr electric for great customer service.

Dan was very professional and explained everything that I had questions on. Like being quoted a price and that is the price, no hidden costs. Would highly recommend them.
We needed an electrician to fix an intermittent circuit fault and Mel Carr Electric was actually recommended to us by a busy competitor - we are very happy and thankful for their referral. Jason C. arrived as scheduled, and we were pleased he was even able to be early. Jason was professional, polite, neat, knowledgeable and explained everything in detail prior to beginning the work. He fixed the problem in less than an hour, and charged a reasonable price. Based on our experience with Jason, we would definitely recommend this company, and highly expect to be hiring them again ourselves.

Jason C solved an electrical issue for us involving a 3 way switch. He identified the problem through a thoughtful, thorough investigation. He installed new switches and then carefully checked his work, trying switches and testing outlets. Jason arrived promptly, was extremely pleasant and professional. I would definitely use Jason C again and recommend him to others.
