Installing an interlock kit is a smart move for any homeowner who uses a portable generator as a backup power source.

Highly recommend this company! We’ve used them twice now and they do an excellent job. The owner came out the same day we called both times and was able to provide an estimate immediately and did the job the following day.

Hired this outstanding team to finish kitchen remodelling work that another (well-respected) company started and messed up. An estimate was provided quickly and professionally, it was reasonable and some options were outlined to correct the errors and improve the outcome. The team showed up on-time and with an energetic, can-do attitude. They completed all items on the project list, reviewed it with me to make sure I was satisfied, and cleaned up well at the finish. I highly recommend this team, you will not be disappointed.

It went fantastic, I was very pleased with their work. They were easy to deal with and made sure I got what I wanted. They made sure my outlets were working properly and upgraded my electrical panel. The project turned out great and I’m really happy with it. They’re the best electrical services in Tampa I’ve used. I can’t say enough good things about these guys. I’ll be hiring them again in the future if I ever need more work done.
