Great value, great experience and he completed the work timely and well! I would strongly recommend this company to have your electrical panel replaced. We had a very old outdated electrical panel from our house built in the 1960s and we now have a lovely updated panel. Vortex gave me a wonderful experience and price! after the service he saw I was having a hard wired appliance replaced so he stripped the wire, capped it and made sure the installers had everything they needed to complete the task well and safely. thank you!

A bedroom smoke alarm battery died around 6 a.m, 10/24/23. The alarm kept chirping (nice word for…read morean annoying sound blast) every 5 minutes or so. I got my ladder (at 80 years old) and tried to insert a new 9V battery. I failed and dislodged the unit from its base. The sound blast continued every 5 seconds or so. At 8:05 a.m., reached Schumacher Electric and in less than half an hour, Randy was at my house and fixed the alarm. He even replaced a battery in another room smoke alarm. Schumacher Electric saved me from a nervous breakdown. I tried to pay them, but Randy wouldn't take it. God bless Schumacher Electric.

After purchasing a jacuzzi tub, we found that we needed a larger hot water tank. we contacted Chris…read moreat Schumacher Electric to explain our dilemma. He contacted the maker of our new commercial hot water tank to get information as the new tank needed a larger breaker and wiring. Once he had the information, Schumacher Electric worked with their schedule to get us hooked up . JR came to our home, he was friendly, knowledgeable and answered our questions. Jr kept us informed of what was happening throughout the install. Chris Schumacher called us that evening to see how everything went and to inform us that a guard of some kind had to be placed over the breaker, and it was back ordered. As soon as they received the braker cover they scheduled a day for the install. JR came.at the designated time, was again very courteous, cleaned up his work area as he had done on his first visit to do the braker, and wiring install. At the last minute we asked for a light fixture to be installed in the area of the water tank, (no problem was the answer). They will be our #1 electricians for future work.

Varsity Electric has won my business because they not only do good work, they really care about…read morecustomers. And they follow through. I have used them for a couple jobs, but the best story about them is this one: Five years ago I had them install an EV charger in my garage, which is separated from the house. I dug the ditch myself to save some money, and they came and installed the conduit, the plug, and the charger itself. Recently I was looking into upgrading the charger for a new EV, and discovered that while I had paid to have them install a 50-amp circuit for the charger, they'd only installed a 30-amp circuit. And this wouldn't work for my new charger. So I called them and the following week they were at my house, digging a new ditch (they had to install larger conduit), and not only installing a new circuit, but adding a subpanel in the garage to handle the EV charger and garage lights/plugs. All under the 5-year-old contract without an additional charge! Everything is working great, and I have nothing but good things to say about their professionalism, friendliness, and commitment.

Warning. After 4 visits to the house (@ over $100 each time) and 3 unnecessary and ineffective…read more"repairs", the 4th electrician was able to identify why our lights and outlets kept failing... the problem was actually outside the house with the PUD line. Only half the power was getting to the house. A call to the PUD and very prompt response (and at no cost to me) finally fixed the issue. The lesson? If that first guy doesn't fix it, call another company. Personally, we'll never call Star again.

Matt showed up on time. He appeared to be young so I was a little skeptical but I realized soon…read morethat I was wrong. He was patient and capable. He figured out the cause of the electrical issues right away and gave me a comprehensive explanation. He didn't waste no time, finished all the job with a positive attitude. However It was actually after a couple of weeks when I start seeing the improvements in functionalities of my electrical devices. Sorry Debbie, I gave you a negative response when we talked on the phone since I still had the same issue with my electric devices. Everything works fine now and I'm so happy about all the services I had from you guys. Also thank Debbie for the schedule adjustment so that I was able to have the service much earlier than expected. Awesome job you guys, thanks again.
