  Jonathan with Fisher Electric came out to install my EV charger plug and circuit. They were on-time, clean, polite, and finished the job in a timely manner. I will be using them again in the future. Thank you Fisher Electric!

  I rarely post reviews but in this case I feel compelled to warn potential customers of Fisher Electric. I used them based on all the positive reviews. Big mistake. Another mistake was to pay them before the job was complete. I have since done a more thorough search and found some negative reviews on Yelp and Google. I hired them to replace my electric panel and install a 40 amp plug in the garage. I paid Mike after the two items were installed but before the new stucco was applied around the new panel. Mike had to leave while one of his employees stayed and another was making a run to Home Depot for the stucco material. While the stucco was being applied, I noticed they had not put protective (waterproof) paper behind the stucco. The employee assured me it wasn’t necessary. After they completed stuccoing and left, I opened the panel and noticed the switches weren’t labeled. The switches on my old panel (that they removed and discarded) was properly labeled. I immediately sent an email to Mike advising him of the missing labels. He responded, apologizing for the oversight, and said he would be there the next day or two to do the labeling. On day three I sent him a reminder of the oversight. No response and it is now two weeks since the installation. If he had done the labeling I wouldn’t be complaining about the shoddy stucco work: it is uneven, does not match the old stucco and there are gaps between the stucco and the new panel. Also, from my research, it appears having a waterproof membrane behind the stucco is vital. If he had done the labeling I wouldn’t be complaining that he had to borrow my sledge hammer to break the stucco around the old panel; and I wouldn’t be complaining that after they used my rake to clean up the debris there was still a significant amount of debris left. I can only hope the electrical work was done professionally. Within a few hours of posting my review, I received an email from Michael apologizing that he forgot to do the labeling. After exchanging a few emails and a phone call, it was agreed he would (without charge) remove the stucco, apply the appropriate paper, wire and new stucco, as well as label the panel. His application of the Fortiflash, without appropriate overlapping and its exposure beyond the stucco, was amateurish. See pictures. Hopefully the two layers of Fortiflash that he installed will be adequate. The actual stuccoing was an improvement from his employee’s work, but still uneven. He also left stucco on my flagstone where he cleaned his tools. See picture. Fortunately I was able to clean it up before it dried. He said he had no excuse why there was no protective paper installed the first time. This whole experience makes me wonder how many panels his company has installed (over 20 years) without proper protective paper.

  I needed to have a portable generator with solar panels set up for a 800 sq ft room, not whole house. I contacted several electricians via yelp and Angie's list to get quotes. While others ignored my request, asked for pictures or set up estimate appts but never sent estimates, Fisher Electric was the only one that responded quickly. Mike showed up when he said he would listened to what I needed and understand what I needed, I received a detailed estimate quickly and scheduling options. On the day of my appointment they showed up early and were able to do additional work providing me accurate quotes, with no additional surprised costs. If I need electric work again Fisher Electric is who I will call.
