EXCELLENT Based on 285 reviews Posted on Google Brady AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent work Shawn and Ben! Thank you very muchPosted on Google Antony MaanumTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honest review from a local. The owner responded very promptly, walked me through what to expect. A 2 man crew was here 3 days later (I had no rush for service). I was worried about going over initial hour cost and just wanted a good job done on my ceiling fan installation. The fan is perfect, and they did 3 other jobs in the time and had no thought of charging more. Book these people, they’re trusted.Posted on Google M McNicholasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. I’m very happy with the services they provided and will call them moving forward.Posted on Google NancyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used Schlemmer Electric for a few projects now. They have been consistently great each time. They are prompt, knowledgeable and pleasant to have in your home. They put a service panel in and have helped with several bath remodels. Shawn and Ben have been excellent to work with. They are professional and have an attention to detail. They were there when we needed them, even on a last minute call. I highly recommend them. They are our go to electricians!Posted on Google Ethan MarshallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan Schlemmer gets it done! Diagnosis was transparent, interaction was genial, and most importantly the work is solid. I'm glad I invested in this company as opposed to a big name with loud marketing, because it seemed like safety was the first priority. Added bonus: projected timeframe was 5-6 hrs. actual completion was under 4 hrs.Posted on Google Leyden Victoria ITrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were very professional, effective, and honest. They also answered my call promptly, whereas I did not receive answers from other electricians that I called.Posted on Google Jab BlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service, reasonable, excellent follow up.Posted on Google Peter JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I requested an electrician visit through Schlemmer Electric's website, not expecting a quick reply (my problem was not urgent). I was very pleased to get a call from Shawn the next day, and he and Ben were able to stop by that same day and diagnose my problem (bad drivers for LED strip lighting). They needed to order a part and promised they'd be out as soon as it came in, which they did. Problem fixed! Nice guys, quality work, reasonable price--I'll never call anyone else for electrical help in my home. Strong recommendation!
