HOW DID I GET SO LUCKY?…read more This is a review of the excellent Elben Electric Inc, but here's the full story: in May of 2023 I ordered an automatic generator from [un-named] Electric. In June I emailed asking for an estimate; my email was ignored. In July I again emailed for an estimate, and was again ignored. In August I went into the office of [un-named] and asked for an estimate; the secretary promised to see that I got it, but there was no answer for weeks. In September, my daughter telephoned [un-named] and talked to the owner -- and found out the generator had never been ordered. No explanation, but the order was then put through. In November [un-named] called at 11:15 AM to say they were coming in a half hour to deliver the generator; no advance warning, but I didn't't care as I needed the generator -- we have frequent power outages on this island. I waited, but no one showed up. I telephoned but no one answered, so I left a message, "Has there been a problem?" At 3:30 PM the owner called, ranting at me for some reason, finally saying he'd deliver the generator but wouldn't install it. He was so out-of-control that I called the sheriff's office to register my concern. The generator was never delivered. I was so alarmed I decided to forget about getting a generator. Electricians (and plumbers and all sorts of service people here) are on overload, and I didn't know of any one in particular to call. Enter Jake of Amerigas, the company that would handle the propane part of generator installation. Jake was apparently so concerned about my predicament that he called around trying to find an electric company for me. Jake suggested I try Elben Electric. I really didn't care to get involved with this process again, but because Jake took the time to investigate for me I felt I owed him the courtesy of contacting Elben. Remember the Judy Garland movie The Wizard of Oz? When she enters the country of the wizard, the screen changes from black and white to color. Well, with the same contrast, enter Justin Miller from Elben, sympathetic to my plight, and in no time at all the generator was ordered and I had an estimate. Very soon Justin and sidekick Kyle started digging the trenches needed for moving the utility box (County regulations) and accessing the electrical lines. Also enter the polar vortex freezing the ground and making it that much more difficult to dig, followed by a snow storm that resulted in several inches of snow which compacted to a very heavy 3". Now Justin and Kyle were working in slush and mud -- seven and a half hours straight with no identifiable lunch break. The snow melt filled their neat ditches to overflowing. Every day they had to pump out the water before they could work in the ditches. In fact, I think they wore out two pumps during this time. As if that weren't enough to hail Elben as a five star operation, all this was done cheerfully, always with smiles and the willingness to shift vans to allow me to come and go when I needed to drive to town. Bottom line: Of course the generator passed a trial run. Justin and Kyle survived. Elben Electric owner Brad Elben must specialize in electricians that add kindness to proficiency. Not hard to tell why: he seems every bit as kind as Justin and Kyle. (How did I get so lucky?)

Lawrence at Kingdom Electric arrived the next morning and quickly diagnosed the problem and had it all fixed in short order. He glanced out our kitchen window and noticed Christmas lights on the porch and asked if there was a plug-in outlet outside on the porch. There was and the recent rain was dripping down the cord and setting off the GFCI, just like it is supposed to do. Lawrence wrapped all the exposed plug connections outside to avoid further problems. I so appreciated his quick response to a household without all kitchen power for Christmas. Lawrence is an excellent choice in calling for your electrical needs and his wife Jane answers the phone promptly for scheduling. I highly recommend Kingdom Electric!

In January, 2026 Barron came out to repair our heating system which they had installed. We were…read morewithout heat or hot water. This should have been handled as an "emergency" but was not. When a tech came out after 3 days of waiting (it was 30 degrees outside) he claimed he fixed the system and it was "fully operable". It lasted 5 days and went out again. Again they took their time coming out even though we were again within heat or hot water - for going on 10 days. We are in our 80's and this was unacceptable at best. A tech came out but could not fix the heating system - he was not sure what was wrong. My impression was that Barron should be able to repair a system they installed! Long story short - called a different company - they came out - diagnosed a bad heat pump and had the system up and running in 2 days!! Not happy about this kind of service.

The Plumbing Guys responded sooner than others, provided a clear and reasonable estimate, and then scheduled a day for the work.

I really appreciated the quality work, the timely responses, and the respectful way they all interacted with me. Definitely recommended with no reservations.
