The most personable electricians to give us a quote. They were the most expensive, but were willing to waive fees and add additional services to make up for this. They were quick and courteous.

Eric and Mike did an amazing job rewiring our 1923 home. They were able to complete the project and even did some extras for us. Ellen and I will definitely be using plugz for future project

1714067712

I had a great experience with the people I worked with at Plugz. They were knowledgeable, thorough, and helpful. All my questions were answered and other options were given. I very much appreciate Cameron who did my installation. He went out of his way to help with items I requested and is very meticulous with his work!!!!

1714065470

Cameron was very helpful and explained all of the issues he found very clearly.

1714059301

Showed up within an hour. They were actually nice. They were patient and NOT dismissive… they explained what they were going to do, and I was left with the experience that I was in good hands!!!

1714050013

Soren was phenomenal. Not only did he take the time to explain everything, but completed the work in a timely manner, without being intrusive in our home. Will specifically request Soren for all projects moving forward.

1713812240

We had an outside outlet installed, and we are very pleased with the work. Cameron was on time. He explained the process to us, and took time to answer questions we had. His work was efficient and careful, and he cleaned up after himself. We highly recommend him for electrical work you need done.

1713558933

First time hiring Plugz and they did great. Provided great options and quick to resolve the issues we were having. Thanks Mike for your speedy work on a cold Friday!

1713540699

Jason is very knowledgeable. and he explaines things really well. The team worked hard and got the job done. Very happy. Thanks Jason and the team at Plugz electric. Definitely will go to Plugz for our electrical needs in the future.

1713387349

Cameron Foesch did a great job in the pre- inspection. We will be recommending him to our friends and family!

1713325949

Mike Klande was the tech who came out. Went above and beyond to fix my electrical issues. Very Satisfied!

1713291922

They came to replace the electrical panel. It was raining. They didn’t complain about anything and did it well and fast.

1713206922

Great job! Kind and knowledgeable!

So there we were, 9 hours away on vacation, when we get the call that a large branch came down and took out our power completely! I sat there on the phone in a completely different state, trying to get ahold of insurance, trying to find an electrician that could come out that day (a Saturday) but anyone I had called before couldn't make it until Monday! Then I found Plugz, and my goodness were they the real ones! Jason, Eric and David were able to make an emergency call, same day, and even wound up working in the dark just to make sure we had power the night of! I was really thinking we'd be without power for 2-3 days, but thanks to the guys at Plugz, that wasn't an issue!I'm really greatful for these guys, they really came through and made an incredibly stressful situation, less stressful. I'd definitely recommend you work with them on your electrical needs!

1712860649

Awesome work very reliable with good pricing I use plugz for all my professional and personal electrical needs.

1712761689

Great work

1712707167

Very attentive to details

1712531908

Cameron was great to work with. He asked lots of good questions at the opening meeting to clarify the job details. Throughout the job he kept us well informed about the progress. Cameron & Thomas did excellent work and cleaned up after themselves. We highly recommend them for any of your electrical work.

1712408872

Went through Lowe’s install for installation of Ceiling fan and ceiling light. Plugz Electric was there contractor. The process was easy, great communication, good experience. Eric Prahl was the electrician that did the work. He was thorough, professional and even graciously willing to use a level I pulled out to make sure the light was level.5 stars to for both Plugz Electric and Lowe’s.

1712330859

Awesome company. Highly recommended.

1712248398

Friendly and helpful electricians, they solved a problem that stumped many others for years. So thankful for their work!

1712243151

1712242794

The whole staff was very professional good quality work very satisfied

1712149594

Great experience with Plugz who gave me the most options to consider without trying to push anything. I prefer using smaller companies and would recommend them for your electrical work.

1712078784

This company was AMAZING! They are very responsive, and professional! They were able to complete the work I needed done quickly! This work was for a commercial property, and everyone LOVED their communication skills and work ethic! I will hire them again ! Thanks again guys.

I worked with Eric and Juan. They were very friendly professional, and on time. Their work was outstanding. Their pricing was very fair and reasonable. I believe they went out of their way to satisfy my needs and went above and beyond in making sure I understood everything and was comfortable in what I was having them do, I would highly recommend Plugz Electric.

1711726530

Fantastic work done by PLUGZ Electric with Juan and Thomas!! Thrilled with how this project turned out. They updated my ceiling from an older version chandelier to a more modern lighting approach for even light distribution with dimmer option.

1711675408

Absolutely amazing. Very courteous and took shoes off right away when entering and was quick with the fixes that needed to be done!

1711664713

Great job

1711641788

Plugz came is and gave us a no nonsense quote with reasonable pricing. Scheduled us immediately and then perfectly upgraded our service! Will definitely use for future needs!

1711570719

Cameron and Thomas ran a 220 v line for a dryer. They were friendly, knowledgeable and fast. I'll definitely have them back for the next project.

1711466219

3rd time using Plugz Electric and can’t recommend enough. From the quick booking process with Janelle getting a licensed electrician out same day, to the great communication with the techs Jason & Eric when on site giving fair straight forward pricing and completing job on the spot. From a new microwave circuit, to panel replacement and recessed lighting, I couldn’t be a happier customer, I highly recommend them.

1711380590

1711155060

Everything looks great and both Mike and Mark were friendly and professional

1711063316

Plugz has exceptional customer service and very prompt responses. My clients and I were very pleased with their work and I will recommend them to other clients for future projects.

1710943521

Friendly, on time and knowledgeable. Offered to try and repair my old ceiling fan before opening and installing the new one.

Eric was knowledgeable solved our issues and suggested an update for circuit breaker. He was so courteous and professional and his skill level was very evident.

1710785366

Got hear early got done fast

1710518062

Exceeded my expectations! It’s amazing what lights can do to a home. They fixed all my wiring which now provides me access to all my outlets as before the only outlets that worked were either the bottoms, or I couldn’t use both outlets at once. The whole staff was very friendly. I believe Mike was the lead on my team and he was so transparent and educated me on everything. My HOA had a deadline that the wiring had to be done by and Plugz Electric made the deadline. They even attended my HOA meetings regarding the wiring project. Plugz Electric understood my situation and provided me a quote and plan that didn’t cause me such financial distress. I’m not use to having lights, so I tend to catch myself turning on lights just because I can and plugging things in my outlets because I know I have access. I would recommend Plugz Electric to anyone who’s in need of re-wiring their home!

1710434852

The communication from Plugz Electric was amazing. The electrician who came out was friendly, professional, clearly explained what was involved with the work being done, and did a fantastic job. Being able to pay electronically was also a big perk.

1710258380

Eric did a wonderful job installing my ceiling fans! He was prompt and courteous! Additionally he was able to recommend some ways I could update my home! I look forward to having this company and technician out again!

Cameron was a pleasure to work with. Good at his job explains everything does not rush you. And he vacuumed my carpet after he was done. Did an outstanding job. Highly recommend Plugz Electric.

1709954637

We had Plutz install outdoor plugin on our current deck . Did great job & cleaned up afterwards. Would recommend.

1709916424

Initially, I contacted two other very well known companies; one telling me 3x to call back or send them an email message. I then, decided to contact Plugz Electric. Eric Prahl quickly returned my call. He met with us, he thoroughly discussed the work to be done. He replaced two light fixtures in our home and the electric panel. He completed the work in the time frame he said he would, he picked up the debris from the work (I've had contractors who haven't). He communicated very well, had a pleasant demeanor, he was friendly and I felt his honesty and integrity. Perhaps, because of his farming background, he approached all the work involved with high energy and a positive manner. I have two other properties and he would be the first person I would call for any electrical work that needs to be done.He is definitely first rate! 5 stars!
