Even though it wasn’t feasible for them to come out and inspect things in person, Jake went completely above and beyond to help. He didn’t just send one email — he followed up with me through multiple phone calls and took the time to walk me through everything in detail. At no point did he try to upsell or push for a service call. Instead, he genuinely focused on helping me understand what might be causing the issue and what steps I could take moving forward. It’s rare to find this level of honesty and customer care — especially when there’s nothing in it for the company. Jake’s professionalism and willingness to help truly stood out. Huge thanks to Jake for the support — highly recommend electric to anyone looking for knowledgeable and trustworthy electriciansPosted on Mike KellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Want to give a huge shout out to Somerton Electric. Jake was great about co-ordinating everything with London Hydro/appointment times, and Phil did a clean, fantastic job installing my new EV car charger and upgraded 200 amp panel.
