We needed a lighting fixture installed on a front porch and an outdoor outlet created in the back of the house. Eddie and Matt are skilled professionals and we were very impressed with their work. They confirmed all the details of our two projects, asked questions and checked in with us as they progressed. The jobs were done quickly and very neatly. We have power and light where there was none, and the fixture was brought up to code. They were fantastic! read more

Scott Nelson Electric did an outstanding job upgrading our outdated electric panel and resolving a wiring issue we were experiencing. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely courteous. They took the time to walk us through every step of the process, answered all of our questions clearly, and made sure we understood the work being done. They also went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule when we couldn't plan the service right away; especially impressive considering how busy they are. The work was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail, and they left our home spotless. The price was very reasonable, especially the level of detail they provided. We're very grateful for their excellent service. Highly recommend! read more

Came out. Fixed some rewiring and outlets. Also put in a new light above my sink. Thank you so much! Will definitely use again!

we had an outage after a summer storm and the lutron system went off on the front outdoor sconces. we had scott nelson out to check the problem (after trying to reset them), with no success. the crew from scott nelson identified the problem immediately, checked for any shortages at the switch, and reset and tested the switch. all worked perfectly before they left and has remained in perfect working order ever since. read more

I recently had Ben & Josh out to replace 2 main panels and install an EV charger. It was a big project and took 2 full days. From the estimate, scheduling, installation and clean up I could not have had a better experience. Being such a large project I thought the pricing was fair as well. There was a surprise, but Ben & Josh moved through that and were very professional in every way. I would absolutely recommend Scott Nelson Electric to anyone. It was a pleasure working with them. Thank you so much--C&P read more

Can't say enough good things about Scott Nelson Electric. Any time I need help, they're my go-to electricians. Today Connor came over and put up a new light fixture in my staircase. He also checked on some questions I had regarding my current switches. He and his partner went out of their way to get me the right bulbs that would work in the fixture when the ones that I'd purchased were too big. I love my new fixture and know that this company backs up their work. Definitely recommend Scott Nelson Electric! read more

Crew was very professional. Couldn't be happier with the results. Quick response and a reasonable price.

I enthusiastically recommend Scott Nelson Electric Inc.! They replaced a ceiling fan in my older home and did an outstanding job. They were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and fair-priced throughout the entire process. I truly appreciated their professionalism and would gladly call them again! Polly A read more

We have used Scott Nelson Electric for all of our electrical renovations/installs, they have always done an awesome job and reasobut this last time they really knocked it out of the park. Eddie and Josh installed multiple quad receptacles throughout the house and swapped out pull chain lights for switch lights. They also removed our builder grade (and not-centered Chandelier) and install our new chandelier in our 2 story foyer. The chandelier manufacturer did not include directions for install (smh) or how to adjust the hanging lights but Eddie and Josh did an AMAZING job! Eddie was able to recreate the design posted on the manufacturers website and it looks phenomenal! They did a great job and we will keep recommending them to family and friends. 10/10 would recommend Scott Nelson for all future electrical work. read more

I had Scott Nelson Electric out to my house for the first time today and it was a totally positive experience. The tech, Kasen and his apprentice Ryan replaced a circuit breaker and some wiring to my water heater. Kasen was very informative, explaining thoroughly what they were doing and he was very friendly to deal with, as was Ryan. Another plus was they were right on time, not a half hour or an hour after the scheduled time. They are now my company to call if and when I need electrical work. read more

Good, down-to-earth guys. Yes, I recommend them. Great at explaining things when asked questions.

Scott Nelson Electric quoted and installed an EV Level 2 charger in my detached garage. Technician Ben and apprentice Matt were very thorough and professional. It was nice to see Ben teaching Matt, and it's clear that Scott's employees are treated well. It was not an easy install in my 100-year-old + house, but their work was meticulous and accurate. I highly recommend Scott Nelson Electric, and now I have a new, go to electrician support team. read more

This is a completely professionally-run business with exceptional service. Scott Nelson and his team provided an extremely fair quote to install my EV charger. Communication was immediate and they were right on time at the scheduled estimate visit and when they arrived to complete the work. They left the premises better off when the departed the job and the electrician team were respectful and friendly. I could not be happier with my experience with this exceptional business. I would provide six stars if it were an option. read more

Very good job installing new and safe floor outlets guys. Thanks. Derrick and Alan did professional work. PHA

I cannot say enough good things about Scott Nelson Electric & his two employees (Eric & Connor) that were at my home for nearly 6 hours yesterday. We walked them through a TON of issues from our inspection report, and they were extremely understanding and accommodating. They were also both very friendly, as well as professional. They let me ask my million questions and also always tried to find the least damaging (to my home) & most cost effective solution to solving our many electrical issues. I would recommend them to anyone & everyone, and I'm sure they will be back at my house at some point to work on future projects. read more

Needing a new electrician, the Yelp Guarantee on Scott's team led us to reach out for a fix - new exterior outlets and smart switch installation throughout the house. Scott was quick to respond and schedule a free estimate within the next few days. While it took us some time to get back to him, he never pestered us, giving us the time to review his estimate and consider our options. The day of the install, Derek came promptly on time and was incredible from start to finish. We're always a little hesitant to let in people we don't know yet into our home but Derek was a delight - working tirelessly all afternoon, despite the steady snowstorm outside, to add a beautifully installed exterior outlet and neatly aligned indoor smart switches. Wow. We're still so grateful and impressed by his work. At the end of the day, Scott's estimate was competitive, although not the cheapest, but both he and Derek were well worth the price. It's not always easy finding honest, earnest services but we're so glad we went with Scott Nelson Electric for this project. Highly recommend. read more

The crew did a great job swapping out a 2-story chandelier! They were quick but careful with delicate glass parts, which I appreciated! Their price was reasonable, and they were super responsive on timing, etc. read more

I called Scott Nelson Electric a few weeks ago when an outlet sparked and tripped my circuit breaker. When the electricians arrived, they were very professional, did quick work and were methodical. The price was reasonable, too! If you have an electrical problem, give them a call first. read more

Great service. Installed a wired doorbell that other electricians would not install because it was "too complicated". These guys did it quickly and at a good price. And tackled a half dozen other odd jobs around the house. read more

We recently had a few ceiling fans and light fixtures replaced by Nelson Electric and the whole process was very efficient and well worth the money! The technicians were prompt, polite, personable and made easy work of our requirements! As an example we need to have a chandelier replaced in our 25 foot foyer and the two man crew did so with little effort! Would definitely recommend! read more

The ground beneath our exterior electric meter and service box had shifted and was pulling the whole box off of the exterior wall. Scott gave us a reasonable quote, and we coordinated with Com Ed to schedule a crew to turn off power service to allow him to do the work, and reconnect power. The job went as expected and power was reconnected the same day. Of all the quotes I got via Yelp, Scott seemed the most knowledgeable about what needed to happen, and I'm happy to have hired him. read more

Solid! Scott called me right away when I used Yelp to get a quote. They were pretty busy but I heard every electrician was (even my plumber told me lol). So I scheduled for the nearest apptmt in about 5 wks, and I wondered if they would forget... they didn't! They called maybe the day before to check in and day of, they were punctual. I forget who came, but the guy was very efficient. He even installed an extra light fixture I had. Based on their hourly rate that they had quoted, it was exactly that. I SO value honest companies after dealing with terrible ones like Arrow Plumbing. Really, life would be so much more pleasant if some people didn't feel the need to cheat others in order to get ahead. read more

We got gifted a bidet back in the summer and procrastinated until the holidays to figure out what to do with it. Unfortunately the bidet needed a dedicated outlet and we only had one outlet in our bathroom that was far from the toilet. I sent out a few inquiries to electricians in the area and Scott Nelson Electric replied quickly with a date and time that worked for us. Scott, the owner, came over at his promised date/time to survey the jobs we wanted to get done. Scott provided a prompt and fair quote by the EOD as promised! We quickly scheduled time to install the extra GFCI outlet in the master bath along with having multiple outlets checked/replaced for safety as we had recently moved into our home. Email exchanged to confirm the installation date and time was smooth and quick. Due to the holidays, we scheduled the installation in the new year, but we already procrastinated like 5 months to get this done, what's another 2 weeks? Eric & Connor came over at the promised installation date and time to complete the jobs and we could not be happier! I was worried that we had to do some drywall patching after the new outlet was installed, but they were able to figure out a way to create a connection via the attic. Our attic isn't the easiest to access and I've personally never been up there, but they were able to get the installation done without me having to do any extra drywall work! WIN! They also looked at a few outlets for safety checks and installed GFCI outlets in the areas that needed it (bathroom and kitchen) l. They were professional and polite and didn't mind maneuvering around curious cats. Couldn't recommend them enough. read more

Nelson Electric is the best electrical contractor I've used in my thirty-eight years of owning and updating my homes. It is difficult to find an excellent contractor who is willing to take on a major remodeling project in old construction, and who handles it efficiently, cost-effectively, and with perfection. This time we were remodeling a 110 year-old bathroom. When we got down to the studs, joists, and rafters, the plans were worthless because of all the surprises. Unphased, the crew was able to trace every hidden wire to destination and source, re-route them as needed, install a new, larger, circuit breaker box, pull wire through neatly, clearly identify and label everything, and finish beautifully the lighting, overhead heating, floor heating, and exhaust fixtures, making for a beautiful bath. Thank you, Scott! read more
