Murphy Family Electric

I had a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed for home Tesla charging, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience from Murphy Family Electric. From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and exactly what you hope for when hiring an electrician. Ted was the one who handled the installation, and he was outstanding. He showed up right on time, was incredibly friendly, and took the time to walk me through everything. He answered all my questions, shared helpful insights about the setup, and made sure I felt confident using it before he left. The quality of the work was excellent, and you can tell he takes real pride in what he does. It’s not always easy to find someone who is both highly skilled and genuinely great to work with, but Ted absolutely checks both boxes. Five stars all around. I highly recommend Murphy Family Electric, and if you can request Ted, do it. You’ll be in great hands.

To give estaminet of electrical panel and now the guy is out sick and they can't send a different person when asked

experienced, efficient, courteous...job well done...

Great job!

He was right on time and did the job quickly and efficiently.

Crew did an excellent job and finished it in a timely manner. Very professional.

I was more than pleased with responsiveness, expertise, promptness, kindness and pricing. Ted was the electrician that came out. He was very nice, very knowledgable and just awesome. Thank you so much Murphy Family Electric!

Murphy Electric continues to provide quality service. Have been able to count on them always being upfront. Rene, in particular, was very thorough and professional in a recent service outing.

Had an amazing experience again with Murphy Family Electric. Rene was amazing and thorough with all work. He was able to complete all tasks as part of full day service call. Definitely recommend.

Murphy Family Electric is an awesome company with very competent technicians and reasonable rates. They make the whole process pretty straightforward. I had used them to get my Tesla charger in 2018 (Cost: $799 including material). I was so impressed with their work that when I had a complex electrical job - installing a new 120v outlet requiring a new wire from the circuit breaker - I did not get any quotes but just booked them. That job was done very professionally as well (Cost: $949). Fast forward to Mar 2025, my tesla charger had problems with over heating and intermittent power loss. I called Murphy Family Electric and they sent a technician the same day who came and adjusted/cleaned the connections and spent 30 mins fixing the problem. And to my surprise the company did not even charge me anything for this. So on top of everything else you can add absolutely fantastic customer service to their list of attributes.

Sean was very responsive to resolving an electrical repair with short notice. Fine service and very knowledgeable in diagnosing and resolving the issues. Glad that they’re here to service the Mt. Pleasant, SC community.

I have to say how impressed I was with our technician Rene! We had a lot of tasks we had hoped to get done in our half day with Rene and he got everything done! This is our fourth time calling Murphy Family Electric and we were not disappointed! Everytime has been a great experience. If we need an electrician we will definitely call them again. Thank you Rene for your hard work!

The did a good job, but the charged a premium and were not clear about that in advance. They made no effort to set expectations.

I had a quick electric emergency and was able to lock down a same day appointment through their website. As a returning customer, Murphy Family Electric is my go to Team when needing professional and polite electricians. They know their business!! 5+ rating and I will continue to use Murphy Family Electric.

I’m surprised by the negative reviews, I had a great experience. After having another electrician come by from Thumbtack to quote my project and unhappy with the both the price and the person they sent over. I contacted Sean from Murphy over the holiday weekend, and he was very responsive. Marvin the technician they sent over did a great job, and even brought his uncle along to help. Very nice guys and hard workers. Will definitely use again. They were very fair and did not try to up charge me or complain that I pre-ordered parts which most electricians will mark up and charge more for. It’s hard to find a fair, honest company that doesn’t charge insane prices. These guys were masters of their craft and highly recommend using them.

Do not use this company, but if you do make sure you hire them through Angi. I am convinced they would never have completed the work without the backup of Angi's support (thank you Jeffrey Salazar). We had pretty simple problem: undercounter kitchen lights not working and three sets of backyard lights not working. The first electrician they sent spent a day and a half at our house and only managed to break two other lights. He also showed up hours late when he did come and missed other appointments entirely. The manager, Sean, then stopped responding to texts until I got Angi involved. The second electrician, Bryan, quickly determined that we needed a new transformer in the kitchen and told me what to order. He also figured out that the backyard transformer was fine and we just needed some new lights. So it eventually all got finished. The big problem with this company is Sean, who will only communicate by text, so of course he never knows what is going on. When I tried to explain why I assumed the backyard transformer must be working, he would write that I should buy a new one--"We are an installation company ", he wrote, suggesting that diagnosing a problem was not on their list of tasks. Sean also rarely kept up with texts, leading him to write asking how the service visit had gone, not noticing that the several messages I had written saying that the first electrician had not shown up that day. Sean must hate his job--I can't imagine how else he could be so unresponsive and uncooperative.

They got the job done.

It went well

Scheduling was difficult and additional fees were not communicated prior to the visit

I was a customer since 2017. I had great service until recently. The electrician who arrived was asked to remove wiring and a light switch and relocate to an adjacent wall. The wiring was left in the wall which was scheduled to be removed the next day. My contractor was delayed because he could not remove the wall because the wiring was still there. I paid close to 1k and one item was completed. I contacted the company to let them know that the electrician was at my home all day and I noticed the electrical wires were still in the wall. The electrician called me and apologized and said he did not see the wire. They sent someone else out to redo the work and told me 3.5 hours would be of no charge. The tech showed up and moved the wire. He stayed longer than expected and attempted to charge me for a full day. We called the owner to straighten things out but he did not pick up. So We explained to the tech that the owner agreed to comp the first 3.5 hours. I paid $500 plus for the time he was there after the 3.5 hours in addition to the $900 that I paid the day before. I booked another full day afterwards to begin some other projects and it was cancelled. The owner sent messages stating that I complained when it was time to pay. Which is not true. He also stated that I was trying to squeeze too much work in one day. Which was also not true. I had a long list and explained to him that I am willing to pay however many days it takes to complete the work. Ultimately the communication ended with me parting ways with them. It’s unfortunate and unfair that one complaint led to this. The owner has horrible communication skills. I am happy that I’ve found a nice true family owned local electrician who does not send random sub-contracted electricians out.

I had Murphy electric come out to help restore power to a circuit. They were unable to complete the job on that visit and suggested I schedule another full day appointment. I did that. The night before that appointment they cancelled claiming I would be unwilling to pay (incredibly insulting) and that parking was too difficult at that location (?!). I assured them I wanted to complete the job and that I would provide off street parking. The owner would not reasonably discuss these solutions. I have never, I mean never, encountered a less professional organization. Stay FAR away from these guys.

Happy with the work done

If I could give this business a zero I would. It is easy to schedule online, but then they don't show up or when they do, they don't fully fix the issue. I have been going back-and-forth with them since August to get an issue resolved and they are refusing to fix the problem and continually trying to charge me more. This is an electrician ponzi scheme.

The company is a fraud, Takes your money in advance and will ask for more, If you disagree with them they will not refund the advance. Please do not choose this company as an option.
