Amazing company, responsive, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Mike recently changed out my meter base on my farm and one thing lead to another, but, Mike was on top of it. Jake got the supplies required and they were back to solve the issue. Highly recommend Somerton Electric.

All these high google ratings completely justified! Had a bathroom exhaust replaced today. Wish every company I hired were as good as Somerton. Tristan had great energy, positivity and performed great work. This is what great service looks like.

I called Somerton Electric after reading some Google reviews and they had a lot of 5 stars. I had 3 electrical outlets not working and did not know why. When I called the gentleman who answered was very polite and offered to send someone same day but next day worked better for me. Their technician Tristan was polite and courteous and had the issue fixed within a half an hour. Would definitely use their services again! This is what customer service should always be like!👍😁

I normally go the DIY route but was a but pressed for time at certain occasions and needed backup. Boom, Somerton answered the call. Initially had a bathroom fan/ventilation installed. Phil was extremely quick, efficient, and quiet as heck? Even tho a lot was happening you didn’t even know he was there. Great, polite guy too. Fast forward a few months, the fan I had purchased (on my own) and had Phil install was not strong enough, not only did he replace and fix that issue but they ultra beefed up my cfm to 150 without breaking my wallet. On top of that, they fed a new wire to where I specifically wanted for a light fixture in my basement in 20 minutes. It was laughable how quick he was. Pricing is fair and even more so with how efficient he is. Will be using Somerton when I get into any hiccups or if I need any emergency work done.
