We have used Bob Electric over the years and have always had a great experience. David the electrician especially stood out to us -- we still remember him all these years later because he was so kind, knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy. It's hard to find people who truly care about doing quality work and treating customers well, and David definitely did both. Highly recommend Bob Electric! read more

Bob's was hired to install new outside lights at Villas II at St Andrews Park at Plantation. My old garage light was poorly installed, with lots of silicone used to mask the poor fitting to the wall. The electrician took some silicone off before installing the new light, but left enough to leave the light still ill-fitting. When asked to look at it, he did, and said, "it's just silicone", and walked away. I removed the light and found that there was missing stucco at the top of the mounting location that he had to have seen, so I removed the rest of the silicone and used stucco patch to fill in where stucco was missing. Silicone was not needed to protect from rain when I was done. The electrician gets ZERO stars from me! read more

Customer service falls very short! Communication is so important when running a business, especially when it come to Electricity! read more

I would give this place maybe 2.5 stars. The individual who came was rude. I asked several questions and he seemed irritated and rushed to provide me with answers. BULLSHIT! He can try and do my job for a change and I'll be more patient to him then he was to me. This place is a rip off!!! Find some place else read more

Brought the wrong part and wanted to charge us twice to do the job again but the second time they said they do it correctly, really?

Hurricane Ian tore open my exterior electrical panel slightly bending the door and the contents were soaked and starting to rust. I hired Bob's Electric to replace the panel. To eliminate future issues like this I had them put the new panel on the inside of the house. The practice I was told is to put the panel on the inside of the wall in the same location were it previously was outside. Made sense to me since the wires were all right there. However that meant the electric panel would be in a bedroom. We expected this to be a messy job since they would have to open up the plaster wall and drill through the cement wall. To prepare we emptied out the room. Their electrician came without any material to cover the carpeting, so we put down our painting tarp. As could be expected, not everything was caught on the tarp. The electrician had no shop vac to clean up after himself, leaving that mostly to us. I had to rent a shop vac and a carpet cleaner to get the room clean again. This was only the beginning of the problems. I had them install a whole house surge arrestor with the electrical panel. I supplied the surge arrestor, giving the electrician the box. While Siemens is a well known brand, this electrician was not familiar with it and made no apparent attempt to read the manufacturer's instructions. It is supposed to go on a double 20 amp breaker. He instead connected it into the double 30 amp breaker for my dryer. The device has an alarm and you are supposed to shut off the breaker in order to silence the alarm. I also had some other minor work done while they were here that they wrote up on an additional work order. My bill was over $4000., not a little expense to me. The electrical inspector caught the error with the surge arrestor installation and failed the job. An inspection that the electrician didn't even understand would be occurring. To correct the violation all they needed to do was install another breaker and put the surge protector on it. They implied that they would not make the correction, which was their fault in the first place, unless I paid them an additional $40. Like I was ordering more work. While in the electrical panel the electrician making the correction noticed that a spare breaker was used to close up an opening in the electrical panel. It would have been another violation to leave an opening that someone could have stuck something through and gotten electrocuted. But now since the new breaker took up the space where the spare breaker was located, he decided that he could steal the spare breaker. When I asked for its return, they refused; making up some story that it wasn't a part of the original estimate so I didn't really pay for it, so therefore it was OK for them to take it from my home. Never mind that it was needed to eliminate another violation. This company doesn't give anything away for nothing; another electrician would have just come back and made the correction and been done with it. Beware of doing business with this company. I would not recommend them to anyone. read more

Our electrician showed up ready to go. He spent probably 10 hours installing fans and new lights. No time was wasted and he stayed at it until everything was done to our satisfaction. He made several insightful recommendations when we needed it most. We were interested in installing a generator and again he was very helpful in getting this process started. Good job at a fair price! read more

In the 6 years we have lived in our house we have had numerous electric issues and a number of electricians out to fix them. Travis from Bob's Electric immediately identified our problem and almost as quickly fixed it. So nice to work with someone who is so knowledgeable. read more

They sent an electrician who worked for two hours an said the office would call me when they could return as the work was far from complete. On Monday nobody called so I waited an on Thursday called them an heard all kinds of excuses like lost message from there man to office personnel to emergency call why he left job. All in all I gave them a One star rating which is to high seek some other company as they are Not a reputable company as far as I'm concerned as I am trying another company myself.

I was promised a refund for a job which should have been don in 15 min and took 1 hr due to incompetence of the election that was not certified. Also there charge you for the drive time to your house. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY read more

When the owner came out to review what our needs were, he was great! But, that was the end of the great customer service. The workmanship was awful. It took their workman three visits - because they only stayed about 2 hours each visit. They left messes for me each time to clean up. The work was never completed even though I sent them a letter with my check requesting them to complete the work. VERY BAD experience. I highly recommend you do not use Bob's Electric read more

if you don't mind calling 8 times and waiting a month to get the job done. Callthem, they are nice people.

They came twice to my house, about 12 months between trips, to give me an estimate and/or do work on some damaged outlets in my garage and kitchen. The outlets were damaged by cats. The first time, the rep advised me that I had to move a lot of furniture around before they could even attempt the job. The second time I was all prepared to pay and do it, the rep would not do the work, saying he had to purchase parts and come some other time, they'd be in touch.... Quite obviously this company only wants to serve large contract jobs; my project was smaller and more difficult than popping up new houses or whatever they do... I would have appreciated honesty as in "we are not the correct company for this job." as opposed to putting me off with an excuse and then not getting back to me at all. Another local electrical co. "DRM" I believe it is, did similar thing in the last 2 months. If you have a DIFFICULT electrical job, you should avoid these two. read more
