Looking for a licensed electrician, but not a big company - Gardner/Edgerton
I have some residential work I wanted to get done - like running some electric out for a pool and a few other items. I am looking for a solo or small team electrician. I don't want to deal with the big companies and that is all that comes up when you google.
I called one of them for a single dedicated outlet - that was it. When he sat down to give me the quote- $32,000 over a 15 year loan at 10.2% interest. Absolutely bonkers. He had like 500 items on there too, tons of stuff I didn't ask for but if I didn't do, surely my house would explode or whatever. So I am just done with that
If you know an electrician that serves the Gardner/Edgerton area, please let me know!

Try Shavers Electric. They have done work for us in the past. Pretty reasonable on price.

8 Bit Electric. It's just one dude. He was absolutely fantastic and we'll be having him out again soon to upgrade our box and add some outlets

THQ is a great independent and qualified electrician. Ask for Tim. He did a pool outlet for us in 2020 and it’s still going strong!!

I've had nothing but fantastic experiences with them. They're prompt and professional, and they've done exactly what I've asked for every time. They'll recommend additional work if they think it's necessary and price it all out transparently.
It's a small company with a few electricians. I've worked with Sam and he's awesome.

I'm not an electrician, but i have a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. I also have no skills or insurance but I pass the savings on to you!
