I liked the idea in the future of doing a complete diagnoses of this 1976 house electrical system! They were quick to respond when I asked for their help and got back to me as soon as they had an opening. I will use them again. 5 stars! SJTS

Incredibly overpriced in my opinion along with other electrician company I contacted. But honestly that wasn't the main issue. This was maybe the most annoying and oddest consultation of my life. From the very beginning I was being very clear that I only wanted my outlets replaced, nothing else. I reiterated this verbally in person. The technician, kept on trying to sell me a membership and additional services. I would say "I just want my outlets fixed" and then he would completely ignore me and go on to sell me about replacing the circuits. This happened over and over again. I would say "please I don't want this service" and then he would just go right back to other services. I actually couldn't believe what was happening. I was incredibly uncomfortable the entire time. For the 4th time, I was again very direct in not wanting any additional work. I literally said "I do not care for anything but the outlets". But he just didn't care and kept going for 15 minutes about working on my panel. Like oh my god, what is happening. It was additionally rude when I told him I was on a time crunch but then he still spent 30-40 mins creating an additional 4 quotes for the work that I insisted I didn't want. They straight up did not care about me and what I wanted. He kept saying I'm the top priority while also completely disregarding what I do not want. If a customer tells you to stop, please stop. I was incredibly upfront with the services that I wanted but this guy was on a mission to charge me $9356. I ultimately didn't continue with this company and reached out to another one who did the work for $300, which was the quote I also received from other electricians in the area. I truly do not know how they justify charging $2807 for only 6 outlets. Listen to the other reviewers. I had the same experience of the worker just looking for upgrades rather than what I called for. He spent nearly 20 minutes analyzing my electrical panels to see where he can charge me additional services after I just told him I only want the outlets. Stop trying to phrase this is for your customers when you blatantly ignore their needs and wants. This was such a weird experience and I lost $89 for the dispatch fee.

    Guess I should have checked Yelp instead of Google before hiring…read more Don't hire Walter Electric! They are unprofessional and over charge. They also are not transparent about their billing. I hired Walter Electric to come out and replace 7 receptacles and tighten a ceiling light. They were at my house for 3 hours. Took them one of those hours to replace one receptacle. They charge $179 for the first hour and $90 for every 30 minutes after that. They originally called and said my total bill was $844.37. When I called back they told me it was $1,135.87 but didn't explain the bill difference except it was a calculation error. I paid the bill and asked for an invoice. They only sent the receipt. I called back and asked for an itemized bill. They sent a bill stating they replaced 7 receptacles and tightened the ceiling light without a breakdown. I called again and asked for a receipt that showed the amount broken down showing what was billed for labor and for each material. They responded that labor was $539 so the rest was materials. So $596.87 in materials?!?!?!? Outlets cost $20-$25 a piece, they charged me $85 each! I was shocked and told them that was outrageous and I'd like my bill reviewed and to confirm the price per receptacle. They told me they do not do that. I spoke to 3 different employees and they all stated they do no provide itemized invoices. This business practice is unprofessional and only something a business would do if they had something to hide; which clearly they do by grossly overcharging. Avoid this company!!!

He (John something) looked at the rooms I wanted fans, and then said I needed to send an email indicating the number of outlets and switches I needed replacing. The work that was done was fine, but they didn't finish the job! Installed 34 of 36 outlets and I have several switches not swapped and plates that don't match the switches. The tech ran out of materials and said I just needed to call and outline what was missing and they'd finish the job. That's not what happened. I was transferred to "customer service" and they said the quote did not specify that I needed 2-gang or 3-gang switch plates. Which apparently cost more than single switch plates (by a dollar). The contract literally reads "Replace twelve (12) switches and cover plates." They understood the snafu, but now said that they'd need to charge me a "continuation fee" of $120 every half hour to finish the job. Ridiculous. Shit company, shit service, shit tech (half the outlets aren't even aligned).

Their pricing is very clear and he offered explanations whenever I asked! Overall from making the appointment to getting the quote to the actual work being performed it was easy and very well done. You get what you pay for... This is a picture from before he was done, but I just couldn't get enough of how much better it looked than before!

    I HATE LEAVING BAD REVIEWS, BUT ITS MY DUTY TO WARN OTHERS ABOUT SITUATIONS LIKE THIS!!…read moreNeeded to get a Generac generator installed. The company I went through, used Clinton Electric for the install. Appointment was set. Estimator from Clinton Electric came out. Did the walk through, told me what I would need,(Some things sounded questionable), he claimed some things needed to be "up to code" and he stated that "A whole house generator is a LUXURY." Recieved the estimate by email..a whopping $18,000 plus. Now I understand that it cost to install a whole house generator, but what I DIDN'T understand, is HOW is it that The Generator cost about $7,600 plus, for a 24,000KW unit...and that meant the INSTALL ALONE, would be OVER $11,000, which I thought was RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED!!! Contacted Clinton Electric via email, was informed that the Estimator would call back the same day, because I requested a copy of the breakdown in prices. Here it is OVER a week later, and NO ONE called. I will be getting the Generator one way or the other, but I will NOT be paying $11,000 just for the install that I was being charged by Clinton Electric Company. I WILL NOT BE USING THEM. Total rip off!! GO ELSEWHERE!! After reading many other reviews, I have noticed the same pattern, where others said that this company was "OVERPRICED." That have also been my experience.

His pricing ended up being more competitive than several of the larger companies I received quotes from, and Ricardo did a better job at answering my questions and explaining the thought process behind his recommendations.

This man will hustle and break his back to earn your business and build a relationship with his customers. He takes pride in his work. I cannot recommend this place enough. On a Friday afternoon, I reached out to ~5-7 vendors to assess a broken HVAC in a DC condo. Ricardo was able to come out IMMEDIATELY at 8PM on a Friday night. He did a quick dusting of the unit which hadn't been serviced in a while and even went to the roof as a part of his diagnosis. After sticking around for a couple hours trying to find the source of the problem, I was mentally preparing myself to pay a diagnosis and service fee, but there was no such thing. What signaled to me Ricardo was top notch was the fact that this man lives in Baltimore, easily a 50-minute commute from where I was in DC. He didn't leave until I was satisfied with his work until 930PM on a FRIDAY night. This type of service is difficult if not impossible to find. Ricardo patiently explained what the problem was, why I wouldn't have working AC after he would leave, and what my options were. He was very transparent with pricing, sent over a couple of quotes, and laid out what install schedules would look like depending on which manufacturer I went with. He and his team came in Tuesday and the install lasted about 7 hours. Fully working AC in less than 2 business days at a reasonable and competitive price. You cannot beat that.
