Our home started to experience "Crazy" electrical issues mid-November,2023 that became absolutely troubling and down right scary! Lights going to half power then to blinding brightness? Whole section of the house dropping out but no breakers tripping? Surge protector strips frying? We called our electrical service provider numerous times with no one showing up for days! Finally 2:am Saturday night I'm awakened by my son saying "Dad, the furnace is making a buzzing noise and electrical smoke / smell is coming from one of the circulator boxes?"" The Main is shut off! Sunday morning I make a call at 6:am to Terra Electric seeing their reviews and "24hr. Service" I figured I'd leave a message on their answering service. Well, needless a say I wake Paul up and after a daisy chain of apologies for the early call he takes mt info & address and said I'll be over later in the morning. Paul arrived, evaluated the ongoing issues and proceeded to check our service panel as well as our back up generator because it never picked in when we tripped the service main, Which he felt was odd? He stated flat out it's not your panel because everything checks out perfect! He said, Mark it your service coming in from your provider!! We went out and he notice a lot of moisture in the meter and did not like the condition of the drop and the meter base. He said lets manually switch over to your back up and "Bingo" everything in the house was run purfect!! Monday morning low and behold a member of our electrical provider finally shows says your reading are all good and plugs in a new meter and the generator drops off and we're back on the power grid. Laughing about my statement on my electrician is going to replace the corroded power line drop and meter base he leaves stating to put in a claim if anything was damaged from the bad meter. In less than an hour after the providers field tech swapped and left the electric starts going "crazy" again blowing half our spa breaker and the furnace thermostats??? Shortly after we shut the the main off again Paul's crew shows up and gets to work, Thank God! Terra had our new drop mounted checking everything over again and flipped the main back on to the grid? I'm telling you that moment when everything was running correct again was worth every penny!! They found the ground and natural connecting lugs lose up top which caused the current to connect and disconnect in the wind or power draws!! Thank You ! Terra Electric We have our peace of mind and power supply back!!! read more

Half of our house lost power during this past winter due to an overload on the circuit caused by an electric fire place and humidifier. I tested every outlet with a multimeter and couldn't find the problem. It was during the holidays and the gentleman from Terra came out to see what the problem was. He listened to all the information I had available, used it to narrow in on some areas I didn't check (light fixture in the bathroom) and managed to fix the issue within 45 minutes. While he was going about his work we made good conversation, very nice guy. He even asked me to, if I was comfortable doing so, remove the face plates on all the outlets in the house to save him time and me money. I had already done that once before so no problem there. Decent price as well for the work and I'm very particular about that since I do a lot of my own work on the house. I'm very pleased with them and will be using them as my go-to electrician for issues we have over the years with our old house. Very happy to have stumbled upon them! read more

Called them for a quote. Nice enough guy, the owner's son came by and I asked for a quote for a generator and another for an outdoor lighting project. He told me he would send me the quote in 24 hours. Two weeks later, I had to call and ask for the quote. They sent it to me. Then in 2-3 weeks I was ready to hire them and called to ask a couple of questions and schedule the work. Left a message with the receptionist as she was not able to answer my questions and she said her son would call me back. That was more than 2 months ago! So no I would not recommend them as they clearly are either too busy or just make too much money that they don't care about brining in a new customer with projects worth thousands of dollars. read more
