They came when no one else would even return the call! When we called for a 'concerning electrical issue' in our home, they scheduled for immediate service. Assuring us that the issue wasn't life threatening and explaining thoroughly what needed done. The service guys on site were great. Professional and timely in their assessment and diagnosis of the issue. The owner and office both kept in great communication and when we called to schedule for them to come at a later time for the repair to be complete, the turn around time was super quick, the job time was faster than expected (even the Ameren portion was coordinated and timed perfectly!) We have had many negative interactions with trades companies in the area, and by far this was the most perfect example of how its 'supposed to go'. From first call to job completion we were absolutely thrilled with the service, response and communication of Carmean and it was very well worth the money working with them. They will be my go-to for any future electrical needs! read more

We hired this company to do extensive electrical work at our home. They were responsive and did the work quickly. However, after the work was done and paid for we found out that Carmean is not licensed to do electrical work in the city of Springfield. We also found out that they did not obtain the proper permits (since they are not licensed they cannot get permits) to do the work, so the city cannot certify the work being up to code. We also found out by talking to other electrical contractors that Carmean overcharged us by almost triple. I called the owner Curtis, who lied and said they were licensed, until I advised him the city inspector had already been to our home and told us the truth. The owner was very combative and said we can take him to court, which we will. He then said even if the court decides in our favor, he will not pay what is owed to us. In addition to all of the above, they also broke several of our pool lines and left a bunch of trash behind. What a deadbeat. read more

My home definitely feels safer from Carmean Electric's work. They have performed two jobs at my home. After I moved into a new home, wiring in my basement was repaired and a dangerous issue was resolved. The problem did not reoccur. More recently, my fan motor broke, and electrical arcing and smoking occurred. The broken fan was removed and my new fan was installed. Exposed wiring near the fan was also covered so again, my safety was prioritized. Finally, I'd like to compliment the professionalism of staff, they were on time and performed great work for a reasonable price. read more

Our power went out yesterday unexpectedly. I called Carmean Electric and they were very responsive. They identified the problem (an underground line issue) and fixed it the same day. The company is under new ownership and I was very happy with the service they provided. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again. read more
