I went from a 60a fuse panel to a 200a breaker box. Chris was very professional and courteous. He came in and did everything we talked about during the estimate. I would highly recommend Primary Electric to anyone.

Chris was fantastic! He was prompt, friendly, and worked quickly. He took the time to explain to me what he was doing and why he was doing it. His price was the most competitive, and I am very pleased with the result. I will call him again if I need an electrician!

Electrical Wiring or Panel Upgrade
Very through and detailed with work. Explained the process prior to beginning and walked me through at the end of service upgrade. Primary Electric was the only company to follow up after the initial estimate- not annoying- but just checking in. Then i knew Chris would follow through 100% on the project- and my expectations were completely met! Would highly recommend Primary Electric to others!

Chris was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. The project involved some outdoor work and even though the conditions were inhumane, Chris was there - working in the conditions to get the job done.

Electrical Wiring or Panel Upgrade
Chris has done a masterful job upgrading my house electrical system. He explained what he was about to do, listened to my concerns and answered all my questions in a clear and understandable way. He arrived at my house at the promised time. Aside from a short break for lunch he worked the full day with no radio blaring. He was very neat and cleaned the work area after each days work. His prices are very reasonable. I will have him do more work for me next month. On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate him 10!! If you need quality work at reasonable prices, Chris of Primary Electric is the man for the job.

Excellent work with a service upgrade, replacement of fuse box with circuit breakers and replacement of older wiring with up to code wiring and fixtures. Did more than was required and was very helpful in pointing out various minor problems that we can fix ourselves. Personable and friendly. Highly recommended.

Primary Electric was great. Chris gave a reasonable bid, and showed up at the time he stated he would. Even on the day it snowed 12 inches he was right on time. His work was impeccable and he cleaned up after himself. He did everything we asked and was flexible when we asked to have a couple things changed. A very professional job and I would definitely hire Prime Electric again, in fact I am having them back in the spring to do some outside work. We loved the work that Prime Electric did for our home.
