Report
My wife and I were looking into hi-pages for an electrician who can fix our faulty solar panel system but found Captain Electric instead using Google search near my area. We spoke with Todd and he was very helpful over the phone. He came to our place to investigate the issue. Todd provided good customer service, great expertise and knowledge in the industry; and the cost is affordable. He was able to identify and fix the issue. We are very happy with the service and recommend Captain Electric.

We have used Captain Electric a few times now. No matter if it was a small job like a 15amp switch installation or the huge job of rewiring and installing lighting in our showroom, these guys got it done quickly professionally. Excellent service all round. Our go to Electrician.

Report
We called Michael from Captain Electric for an emergency situation when our lights started popping out one after the other and we could smell chemicals/smoke in our living room. He came promptly, was super polite, did the job well, and his price was very reasonable. We had him booked for a further job at a later date, which we unfortunately had to cancel, and through a miscommunication he turned up anyway, and was again extremely polite and understanding, when most other people would have gotten upset. I highly recommend Captain Electric for being reliable, thorough, reasonable, and thoroughly
