Exit word excellent communication super friendly Clayton and Jim was so he talked to to understand what the job is and itemized statement on what they're gonna do and install super highly recommended read more

Jim did a great job installing my Tesla EV charger in the garage. He was efficient, arrived on time, and clearly explained everything he was doing throughout the process. He installed it on 5/8/25, and it's been 8 months with no issues at all. Professional and easy to work with--I highly recommend him. read more

Jim is amazing! Super professional and on the dot on time! He replaced three ceiling fans in my house. One in the kitchen, one in my son's room, and one in mine. He made sure that he was clean, all the scraps were picked up and not left around. He ran into a hiccup with the fan in my room. I got a super jeweled fan. After a considerable amount of time he showed me what the issues were about installing that fan and how cheap he thought it was. He gave me the option to get a new fan and he wouldn't charge me extra for the new fan when he came back, and he gave me professional great advice on the type of new fan that would be best for the height of my ceiling. I never thought a fan flushed to the ceiling in the bedroom is ideal. Makes sense bc one hanging low down over my bed is a real bad idea . He came back a few days later, installed my bedroom fan. Again on the dot on time. I will absolutely hire him again. His prices were very reasonable! I did a lot of research before. So glad o hired him! Jim is the best!! read more

I've worked with a lot of electricians in my 19 years as a busy Realtor, 1st Choice Electric is far and away the best company I have worked with! I specialize in pre-WW2 homes, so you can imagine the wacky electrical issues we see. Jim is the consumate professional: on time, well priced, time efficient and kind. My clients and friends rave about him. read more

Fast to diagnose the issues. They came the same day. Cost was very reasonable. They were able to timely fix the issue and also helped me out with some others in the house. Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable. read more

Jim and Clayton did an absolutely amazing job. We recently bought our first home and needed to do a decent amount of electrical work. We got several bids, but Jim was the only one who took the time to explain to us what needed to be done (in plain terms, he definitely understood we were new to this) as well as listening to us describe to what we needed. He was super transparent with his pricing, which was outrageously fair considering some of the other bids we received. Throughout the entire project both him and Clayton checked in with us multiple times telling us where we were at and what next steps were. The end result was exactly what we had asked for, executed super well and in much better working order. If you are looking for a honest, well rounded team who will do an excellent job- hire these guys. We can't recommend them enough and I've already sent their number to a few relatives who will need work done in the future. We will 100% hire them again for future projects. read more

If you need a top-notch electrician, Jim Smith of 1st Choice Electric Service is the best. He did extensive work on our home recently and was professional, creative, efficient, and very hard-working.  He treats your property and your time with respect.  In this day and age, finding a craftsman like him is almost impossible.  We can't recommend him highly enough! read more

Electrician was great, very friendly and informative before my EV installation. The price is also pretty good and the guy was super fast and made sure about safety issues too. I would recommend this service to anyone who needs electricity installations. read more

Jim is SO responsive and was able to do an estimate for a pretty straightforward job remotely with detailed photographs. I was having a bathroom fan installed. His foreman, Clayton, came out to execute the job, discovered it wasn't as straightforward an installation as it first appeared due to my house's "character". It's a beautiful, but old house with alot of quirks. Clayton was able to reroute the venting system for the fan through the attic. This took some extra time and energy to troubleshoot and execute, but he did the job at the initial quoted price. He also found a dead rat up there (guess I'll be calling pest control next), and very generously disposed of that. He installed my doorbell cam free of charge since he was already there for the bathroom fan install. After being quoted a significantly higher number from another electrician, the price and service provided by Jim and Clayton at 1st Choice cannot be beat. Will definitely be using them for all my future electrical needs! read more

Jim has installed a car charger, pendant lights, and recently a surge breaker. I moved into my community in 2022 and was looking for an electrician for several projects. I called about 10 that I found online and met with five at my home for quoting out the projects. Jim stuck out because he was very knowledgeable, honest, and reasonable with his quotes. Cheapest isn't always the best way to go and contractors sometimes quote extremely high because of your zip code. Jim honestly assessed the projects and priced accordingly to difficulty and hours needed. 1st. Choice Electric Service is my 1st. CHOICE for my electrical and solar needs. read more

We used 1st Choice Electric and couldn't be more pleased. We had power out in several rooms. Turned out to be an outlet that was improperly installed. He informed us that our panel was recalled and could create a fire. I researched it and he was right. Came back and replaced the panel under his estimated amount. Jim is a great guy. His prices were very fair. In fact, I recommended him to a neighbor who was equally happy with the service. I trust Jim and wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend him in the future. read more

My experience with Jim has been wonderful. When I first did my research on 3 electricians, I passed him by. The first two didn't seem approachable, and they were pricey. But for the same electrical job, his quote was reasonable and affordable. So I went back and hired him. He is very knowledgeable,experienced, and will work with you on your electrical issues. He answers your questions and will explain whatever the job is, if you are interested. Make 1st choice your choice in all and any electrical work needed! Quality and value is a 10 plus. read more

No wonder why 1st Choice Electric has all 5 star reviews!!! The customer service was great. We sent our request in on Saturday and Jim came out the very next day, promptly at 1pm (maybe a few minutes early), he found the issue - as we suspected a circuit breaker needed to be replaced. Jim said the originals were really old so we opted to have them all replaced. He went to the store and replaced the breakers all in less than an hour and a half. He also gave us quotes to add additional outlets and recommendations on what we could do ourselves to save money. No doubt we will contact 1st Choice Electric in the future for our extra outlets!!! Big thank you Jim!! read more

Jim is AMAZING. I'm so grateful to have selected him. Not only is he close by, he's responsive, punctual and professional. I've added him as a permanent contact for electrical work. I'm extremely pleased with my new ceiling fan installation. *SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES* read more

I had Jim come out a second time to my house for an electrical issue. He came out on his day off to come look at my problem and I am so glad that he was able to. We spent 2 hrs looking for loose wire that was causing my problems. Not only was he patient in trouble shooting the problem, he showed me how to address some of the issues he found, how many professionals would actually take the time to teach you how to do things. He is one of the nicest, helpful, caring individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting. Jim should be the first person you cal! read more

I highly recommend Jim and 1st Choice Electric! With one dead can light and the other on its last legs, I needed a great electrician ASAP, otherwise my laundry room would be lit by candles! Thankfully Jim promptly returned my voicemail and scheduled me for the very next day. This wasn't a difficult job, but the twist was that I asked if he could show me how to do the fluorescent to LED retrofit so I could tackle the other dozen cans as they slowly die one after the other. He was a very willing and gracious teacher and his pricing was very reasonable! read more

Overall, super happy with his work, and if we have any other electrical needs, he's our guy! read more

Man, Jim save me. Called around 4:00pm and he came by after his last job. I tried everything I read to do for a tripped GFCI. Jim came by and it 5 minutes it was back up with power.

Before leaving he ran through my two breaker boxes and what be aware of and what issues might come up with them. Can't believe how painless this was. Can't recommend enough! read more
