  FYI their rate is about $500/hr. Check their Yelp reviews. Something I should have done before calling them. When bidding the job they mislead me (I believe intentionally) into thinking it would be far more complex and time intensive than it actual turned out to be. They said it always requires 2 electricians and can take 6+ hours. They ended up sending 1 guy and he easily finished in about 3 (to his credit he did a very good job and was very friendly) I understand needing to pad a flat bid but to do it by 400% is wild. I spoke with the owner afterwards and he apologized that I was misled but left it there. No discount, future credit, nothing. Shame on me for not getting multiple bids but with FT jobs and a newborn at home plus a job we needed to get done right away (I had recently noticed our old exhaust fan was faulty and I was worried because I’ve had one in the past that caught fire.) that is easier said than done.

  Our experience with Powell Electric was positive. Martin Jimenez gave us a quote to replace 4 kitchen ceiling lights. We had florescent lights and had to change to led. Martin and Abram came out on Saturday and completed the job in 2 1/2 hours. They worked neatly and with efficiency. Martin and Abram both very courteous and friendly. We are very happy with the work they did.

  The technicians were professional and efficient. One tech came out first and established the scope of work, quoted the price. After the quote was accepted and a deposit given, two days later, two techs arrived at 9:30 a.m. They completed the new, under the house wiring, splitting off and adding new breakers in the breaker box. They also installed conduit and wiring for a car charger. The job was completed for the price quoted.

  We started hearing sparking noises from our original 1960s electrical panel and were concerned it might be a fire hazard. Powell Electric was able to send someone out the same day to take a look. They confirmed our concerns and let us know the unit had actually been recalled in the 1990s and that a small electrical fire had already occurred inside the box. They moved quickly to secure the materials and scheduled the replacement just two days later. Junior and Jesus came out and worked diligently to get everything done in one day. At one point, I was worried it might not happen, but they pulled it together and finished strong. They patched the wall where the new breaker box was installed and cleaned up the house so well it felt like they were never there. Great work at a fair, competitive price. Highly recommend.

  I was not happy with my experience with Powell Electric. I hired them to inspect my property and make the necessary repairs to prepare it for rental. They provided an estimate totaling $3,200 but refused to give an itemized breakdown of labor and materials. The estimate didn’t even include any rewiring, so I have no idea how they arrived at such a high number. I don’t trust any company that won’t provide an itemized estimate. Transparency should be standard. Because of this, I decided to get another opinion. I ended up having the same work completed by a different electrician for $800. I can’t believe Powell Electric was going to charge nearly four times as much. While many reviews say they do great work—and that may be true—in my opinion they are seriously overcharging. Most customers probably don’t know any better, but I don’t want others to be taken advantage of. Yes, I lost $99 just to have them come out and look at the job, but in the end I saved $2,400 by getting another quote and going elsewhere. That alone speaks volumes. Sorry, Powell Electric, but I’m very unhappy with the lack of transparency. Asking for a breakdown of labor and materials is not unreasonable—it’s usually standard practice for an honest service company. Final advice: Don’t throw your money away. If you need electrical work done, always get a second or even third opinion/quotation before making a final decision.
