I just had my installation with these guys for my new electric car. Anthony was so great to work with and he sent the most courteous and efficient men, Trevor and David to do the job! I would definitely use this electric company again. It was a wonderful experience!

Response from the owner

Thank you Michael. I am glad the crew could get you scheduled and installed so quick. I hope you enjoy your Lyriq and EV Charger. If you ever have any questions don't hesitate to reach out to me or the team anytime :-)

Anthony and Trevor were incredible to work with. They helped me install a charger for my Rivian and ensure that everything was working perfectly. They are incredibly fast to come out to install the charger and are extremely knowledgeable about the best solutions. I highly recommend them.

Response from the owner

Thank you for the kind words Dan. I hope you enjoy the Rivian EV Charger. When you are ready for solar or battery storage feel free to reach out to me directly anytime. I would be happy to help.

Owner Ed West and electrician Kevin provided fantastic customer service during the install of my home EV charger. Later when we had an issue with a broken latch that prevented us from unplugging our vehicle, Ed and Kevin again teamed up to bail us out with after hours service call that got our car drivable again (and the plug unit replaced). Highly recommended.

Response from the owner

I am glad we could help Mark :-) We are there for you whenever you need. Call anytime. EV Charging is very new and I know there are some small issues sometimes. But we can adapt and make it a good thing. I have 55,000 on my EV now and only have had to do tires, no other issues or maintenance!!!! Call us if you ever need anything, or if you are thinking of Battery Storage or Solar. I just did on my own house and love it :-)

Awesome experience! Everyone was outstandingly professional and considerate. From Anthony who setup the service appointment and provided so much knowledge about Charging Stations to the two individuals, Trevor and David, who installed the charger, they were all amazing! Kimberley, officer administrator, was also wonderful! Had a chance to connect with the owner for a moment and he was great as well!

Response from the owner

It was a pleasure working with you as well Jayeamor. Thank you for the kind words, I have shared them with the team. I hope you enjoy your EV Charger. If you have any questions or need any other work, feel free to reach out to me directly :-)

I'm surprised there aren't more reviews on here for this company, they are awesome to deal with. I recently bought an electric car and had been trying to find a local electrician to install a 50A circuit for a 14-50 outlet for its charger. I called more than 10 local electricians and nobody got back to me. I don't think it's common that electricians in this are do this kind of work even though it's pretty standard work. This company has installed tons of these kinds of outlets/chargers. They have a ton of experience here and it shows. Unlike everyone else, Ed got back to me immediately. I showed him the job over facetime to get a quote and they were at my house within a week putting it in (this was after WEEKS of nobody even calling me back to talk about the job). The guys were awesome. Arrived right on time. My job wasn't the most standard and they were still in and out in 2 hours. They are real tradesmen in an era where this is increasingly hard to find. The finished product in my garage is professional looking and works perfectly. I can't recommend them enough!! I am looking forward to using this company for a few other electrical jobs in my house. Edit: 10/2023 update Just wanted to update my review. Since the initial installation, West Electric has come back out to do a couple more jobs. Last summer they installed a new pool automation system for me (and fixed a short to my pool lights in the process that my pool company wanted to charge me $4000 for replacement lights). They also just came back out this week to install a second EV charger. As expected, they were on time, installation went smoothly, and everything is working great. This is one of those companies that you find and never look elsewhere for another electrician. These guys are great!

We are beyond happy with West Electric, they helped make our home the place we wished it would be. Ed’s ideas and suggestions were exactly what we were hoping for. It is nice to have a contractor be so responsive and answer our calls when we needed them. The crew was very pleasant and clean. Kevin is a great foreman, you can tell he is training the younger guys right. :-)

Response from the owner

Thank you for the nice review Gina. You and Chris have a beautiful home and we were happy to assist you with the build. If you ever want to increase the speed on the EV Charger we installed or add the battery wall backup we were discussing feel free to call anytime.

West Electric did an excellent job in installing a 60 Amp level 2 home charging station inside my Garage. Ed & Crew, Ed Sr, and Ryan arrived on time and did a clean professional install. I tested the charger after they left and everything worked perfectly. Ed also provided me with all the detail regarding the rebate provided by Eversource for charger installation and helped me submit the rebate. Highly recommend West Electric for any Electric needs.
