DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!!!. They are thieves. I started out wanting two receptacle boxes installed and a door bell button replaced. The estimate given after inspection of the receptacle sites and doorbell was $2600. I said no to the receptacle boxes and asked about the doorbell. I was told that would be $500. The electrician checked out the doorbell system but could not find the transformer. He also discovered that he didn't have a door bell button on the truck and went to buy one. After replacing the broken doorbell I get a bill for $820. $426 dollars was for "Diagnostic-Single circuit containing multiple rooms" for this the electrician looked at the locations where I wanted the boxes and looked for the doorbell transformer which he never found. A second charge was for "Pick up and install new doorbell button and disconnect old ring doorbell" for that I was charged $315. Stay way from these people!!! I also now find that Yep selectively publishes consumer complaints. I don't know how my original complaint ended up in Clinton Electric Co's generator installation service but I had nothing to do with that part of their business. My experience was strictly with home electric service. read more

Very happy with the service I received today. If you decide to use this company, ask for Randal. He was able to help us discover a few problems with the wiring on our house that everyone else failed to inform us of when this house was purchased. read more

This company and all of their technicians are lovely, professional, and skilled. Jordan has been coming to our (very old) home and fixed a myriad of electrical issues for years and is always fantastic. You can't go wrong with Clinton!!!!! read more

There is a special place in hell for people that use scare tactics on senior citizens and deceive them for financial gain. Keep in mind, the average price of an electrician in Maryland is between $40 and $100 an hour. Clinton Electric's pricing is not transparent. They quoted $79 for an electrician's visit. This leads people to believe the total visit, including diagnosis will be $79. In this case, Clinton Electric actually first quoted $64 to my parents and then the receptionist changed the figure to $79 after asking for my parents' ZIP Code. When the electrician arrived, after writing a report he informed my parents the diagnostic charge would be several hundred dollars more. This is a shady practice. This is not a customer-centric procedure. The electrician should first inform people of the diagnostic fee before applying the charge, giving the customer an opportunity to refuse. Customers are misled to believe that the dispatch fee will be the complete charge for diagnosis of the problem. Clinton electric charged nearly $400 for one hour, and repaired nothing. No parts were used. So beware: the price you receive over the phone is not what you will pay in person. Be prepared. And whatever you do, get a second quote. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. DO NOT call Clinton Electric. Clinton Electric is a con-job and a rip-off. There main goal is to set you up to take as much money as possible from you. I called for a quote and I was told someone would come out and that they had pre-approved prices that they could show me in writing. When someone came they gave me a price to install a light above my stairs. The price was by height. The person charged me for 30', yet it was only 20' high. When I asked to see the price book again to confirm he was charging too much, he refused to show me. He then had to go back to the shop to get a later. This was a huge waste of time. He then fixed an outlet in my sons room that was not working. When I came back, he said all outlets in the room and neighboring rooms were not working and needed to be replaced. I did not ask for him to check other outlets or to go into another room. Then, he said my whole home needed to be inspected which would "only" cost a couple thousand. If I would have said yes, he would have changed me for sure. They come and root around to find issues and charge you as much as possible for things that do not need repair with the hope you are pressured to say yes becusse they are in your home. read more

The guy came out and quoted me 370.00 to install a ring doorbell and service my deck audio system. He seemed very professional and nice. I told him to do the work and that I was going to work and that my wife was home and that she'd pay him. I EVEN TIPPED HIM BEFORE I LEFT!! Needless to say I get a call from my wife 3 hours later to tell me that he charged us over 800.00 and didn't even install the BRAND NEW ring doorbell!!!! He said it was broken!!! I've called them several times to complain and no one answers and there isn't even an answering service!!!! Beware and do your homework before using this company!!!!!! read more

They offer the best Generator service in the area! Top notch talent, with years of experience and it shows!

Brent showed up on time as promised. Because of the weather (raining), the pandemic, and social distancing, I was unable to observe him at work. Once he finished, he left so I didn't have a chance to ask him any questions but I do appreciate him showing up on such a rainy day. read more

Be aware that this company charges by the job not by the hour. I ended up paying over $300 for something that took less than an hour. But then he spent another hour writing up suggestions and a bid for other work to be done. I feel like I paid for his time to write up his bid. The tech knew what he was doing but he was also a salesman. If you have a small job, you are better off paying by the hour. read more

We needed an electrician to run and connect an ethernet cable from one side of the house to the our router on the other side. When we called Clinton Electric we explained exactly what we needed. They sent someone who did not have the equipment needed... and only after he got here were we told that they don't work with low voltage lines. The guy ran line but when he finished it didn't work. Verizon had to come back a second time and told us the connections were not done properly. We were charged an exorbitant amount ($600) for work that didn't work. We are willing to pay something for running the line but when we asked the company for some consideration they flatly refused. We should have been told when we first called to make an appointment that the company does not do this kind of work. They need to take responsibility for the outcome. read more

They were awesome.. the technician was knowledgeable, professional and efficient! I called three other electrical companies and no one could do the job! read more

Luke did everything right! Friendly, clear, punctual, excellent work on the house. Would definitely want to work with him again. Clinton Electric overall is wonderful to work with and reasonably priced (especially if you get the yearlong membership plan). Thank you! read more

Clinton Electric upgraded my electric panel and installed my new EV car charger. I'm so happy with the work they did. I can charge my car without popping the circuit. Each charge gets me about 40 miles on electric only. Even with my 70 mile daily commute, I'm averaging 84 miles to the gallon. I'm all charged up now, thanks to Clinton Electric!!! read more

Service was prompt, electrician was courteous. However, homeowner beware, they charge by the job. If you have a small job you may want to get someone who charges by the hour. I was overwhelmed by what they charged me. Saying I felt "ripped off" would be putting it mildly. read more

My wife called to setup an appointment, and was told by the receptionist there was a fee for the electrician to come out at which point she said no thanks. The receptionist called back 4 times stating the fee would be waived and no fees would be charged until work was actually done. This morning the electrician comes, no work is done and states there is a fee and the receptionist now claims there was is indeed a fee for him just coming out here, and another fee for diagnostics. Bad experience, will not use in the future. read more

We moved into a new home and needed quite a bit of electrical work done. Luke came and gave us a thorough estimate. When it came time to do the work, Luke was punctual, friendly, honest, and detailed. We would absolutely use Clinton Electric for any future needs! read more

Made an appointment for 8am; guy showed up at 8:30am. That's not a big deal, but why would they tell me, "he'll be there at 8am" rather than just providing a time range? The guy was nice but their pricing model is flawed. They charged me $98 to come in for 5 minutes and tell me my sump pump was broken (something that I already knew). I guess it's my plumber's fault for requiring an electrician's opinion before replacing the sump pump, but it's still pretty unreasonable to charge someone $98 for 5 minutes of "work" (and when I say work, I mean watching me turn the sump pump on and listening to the noise it made). The dispatch fee is $39 and the fee to have him watch me turn the sump pump on was $59. Most service companies would fold that initial fee into their service fee, but not these guys. Overall, I just feel like I wasted $98. I wish I could attest to their quality of work, but they didn't do any work - they just charged me for nothing. read more

We needed an additional electrical panel placed in our older home due to an anticipated AC upgrade. I knew exactly what needed to be done but wanted quotes from different electricians on pricing. Their electrician came out as scheduled. After showing him what we needed done, he proceeded to gave us specifics on what we needed to do to get the permits from the city and BGE. The quote was 10K, which was much more than I anticipated. Since we have another electrician coming for an estimate, I told them I needed time to think about it and to discuss with my spouse. The electrician was very abrupt, pointed to my spouse who was working on the computer in another room, and said "why don't you ask her now." After telling him that what he quoted was much more than I expected, he sat down and wrote out a bill, which included a fee to come to our house, then a $270 "consultation fee"! Definitely not getting my business ever again! read more

We've been having a problem where multiple rooms in the house are temporarily losing power. They sent someone out and he spent about an hour trying unsuccessfully to find the problem. For that I was charged $500. I called Clinton to complain and got a call back from the manager of the residential division. He was great, apologized profusely, and refunded my money. So, not a great initial experience, but they definitely took responsibility and made it right. read more

The guy that did the work was good. However, the $39 fee to come out and look is a pain. 2 cable box plugs at $59 each was fair. Bigger job, I supplied the lights, but the labor was $300 an hour, for 3 hours, to install 4 small recessed lights in my living room. Steep price for labor. Ill shop around next time. I had other electrical projects I wanted done, but the prices were too steep to keep adding on any more work. I went with the internet reviews, and am disappointed. So writing my own review of them. read more

The technician was very nice and professional but their prices are ridiculously high. They charged me $160 to change a dimmer switch and to check the two lights that were out. In addition they wanted $500.00 to replace my bathroom light/fan. I had a different company who was a sub-contractor to my kitchen remodel give me a quote and it was $150-$175. i found Clinton on Home Advisor where I have found a good painter but this never again. For some reason the review says I am from CA but I am a MD resident. read more

I had an issue with the light in my bathroom not working. I called Clinton Electric on a Sunday. The operator told me it would be $260 for them to make an emergency visit. I declined. I set up an appointment for the next day. The operator told me it would be $59 for them to come out and all work starts at $60 and up. When the technician Russell got to my home he told me he would have to do a diagnostic test and that would be $349 and I was appalled. That is way too much money for them to just tell you what the problem is on top of paying the $59 for him to come out. I asked Russell why didn't the operator inform me about the diagnostic test and he said because she is not an electrician. WOW!! great customer service. Had I known I would have to pay $349 for a diagnostic test I would not have wasted their time or mine. Needless to say, I gave him his $59 and sent him on his way. They need to inform the operators what tests and work needs to be done before work can be started. I wasted $59 because I was not properly informed. read more

Clinton Electric runs their business with professionalism and great attitude. From initial assessment, to their office people, to their electricians....they were fantastic. When there was minor miscommunication (no ones fault), they cleared it up quickly. Fair pricing, knowledge and a "can do" attitude from their associates are the way they do business. I had a full home back-up generator, plus about $2k worth of new services done....you'll like this company! read more

The company's electrician took time to check the ENTIRE apartment unit -- before even addressing the area of complaint! The company's pricing protocol (charging for mere drive to site and "diagnois") was pre-stated, but I couldn't imagine what extortionate/disproportionate outcome that would entail ! Were I not old and ill, I'd not have been vulnerable to Clinton Electric's scam. While the electrician they sent was pleasant, the company's mode of operating was usurious. They charged $280.00 to replace a single plug outlet. read more
