Had Charlie come to my house and was able to figure out problem with my tv was not electrical or circuit related but cable box was the issue. Also needed smart smoke detector replaced as well. Be sure if you have electrician come out that you have the right kind of detector. I had purchased one that was hard wired thinking it was the same as my other detectors but the one that needed replacing was not a hard wired detector. I opted to have him go and purchase the correct one which was an extra charge for me. I would recommend having both kinds of detectors on hand if you are not sure. If they purchase for you they charge a 40% mark up on the item which is a little steep.

Bates electricians, Ian and Alex Henry, were here today doing an aluminum wiring rehab rehabilitation. They finished the outlets and the switches. I was very comfortable with both of them. They showed their expertise by explaining things to me that needed to be done, and worked productively at all times, but we were able to converse also. I will certainly use Bates Electricity again.

Bates electric was wonderful. They showed up on time and really worked to figure out the problem with our light fixture in the kitchen. We had another company come before Bates and they couldn't seem to really figure out the problem. It's all fixed now and we are thrilled. The technician ,Charlie, was great to work with and very knowledgeable! Will definitely call Bates Electric if we have other issues in our home! Thank you!

Ian and Berto did an outstanding job upgrading my 100 amp panel to 200 amps, wiring and installing an outdoor light for my patio, installing a 50 amp plug-in for my fifth wheel, an inlet for my portable generator, and an outlet for my hot tub. They also fixed my outdoor meter to code. I highly recommend Bates Electric and their terrific staff!

Had a great experience with Bates Electric. Joe O. showed up promptly and was very courteous. He took the time to show me what was wrong with my panel and he worked quickly to get everything in order. He had to move a shelf out of the way to gain easy access and he put everything back the way he found it when he was finished.

Just had the electrical panel replaced in my house. Ian arrived as scheduled and was able to complete the job in a very timely manner. He communicated what needed to be done and answered all my questions. I appreciate Ian and all the staff at Bates Electric who made this unexpected event go smoothly.

Bryan P. was great. I had him replace two outdoor lights. He was very professional and was able to complete the job quickly within an hour. One of the old lights had an extra component and he was able to get rid of it when installing the new light. He answered all the questions I had about the current job and about a separate lighting issue. I would recommend this company for your electrical needs!
