I want to say thanks and send our appreciation for a job well done! We were not sure who to call for assistance. The people we had used in the past were nowhere to be found. The electricity in all 3 of the bedrooms went out with no warning. Our Computers and modem/Wi-Fi equipment were in those rooms. That means we have no connection to the web. Nearly all of our 'who to call information' was dependent on the computer's web connection ability. Thank goodness for the cell phone .. We were able to locate Prairie Electric. We recognized the name as a long time company in our area. They could come out sometime today. Wonderful news even without a specific time block for them to arrive..They were coming today! My husband talked with the dispatcher and they agreed on the fees and we eagerly awaited the arrival. It took a couple of hours but the call came and Michael arrived with a smile and energy. It did not take him long to find and repair the issue. He impressed me with his knowledge of where the possible causes were and proved them to us before he began to repair. This encouraged me to ask a further question about an outlet that was giving me issues. It used to be part of a 3 way switch but that 1/2 of the socket no longer worked. In addition to that when I used the other 1/2 of the socket for the vacuum cleaner the plug got unduly warm. I avoided using it. I was concerned and this seemed to be the perfect person to fix it. I expected it to be a simple re-arrangement of the wires that were not properly connected when the switch was replaced. Wrong - it turned out to be a lot more than that and Michael had the energy and the determined to find it. I was concerned about the socket and worried that it might cause a fire someday. Michael listened to my concern and even checked a couple of other places for me just to be sure they were OK.. As he worked he explained how and why - this is how we check for ... and then he explained the choices he was suggesting BEFORE making the repairs. Michael did not object to my questions and was very helpful in making the explanations easy for a non electrical person could understand. Yes it was more money than we had agreed to with the initial call but we also got a lot more service and assistance than was mentioned when we asked to have them come out. We changed the work order and so I expected to pay more. When the final bill was computed it was very fair and the extras were noted and the costs estimated before the additional service was performed. What more can you ask? Some of the reviews stated that the company employees left a mess. Yes ALL electricians - and many contractors seem to leave bits and pieces in their wake. I did not - do not want to pay skilled workers fees to vacuum the floor or move a table.. It has been my experience that I could clean it up or move something more easily than waiting for them to do it.. It would then be cleaned to my satisfaction and the trained contractor did not need to charge me for the extra time necessary to 'clean-up'. It is the same reason I move furniture out of the way when possible. If I move it then I know how carefully it will be done. Electricians and other contractors are not paid to be movers, or cleaners. I don't know how well they are physically - I don't want them hurt and I don't want my things damaged. I am happy to help them and my pocketbook by assisting where I can. I have some projects that need to be done. Now we have someone we trust to do it well. We are both happy and intend to be returning customers of Prairie Electric in the near future. read more

We called 3 companies to get a quote for switching out our entryway chandelier (18' height) and to install a ceiling fan in a room with just a ceiling light. Prairie Electric was definitely the most responsive company, and had the best pricing! They gave us the cost per hour, not just per job, as one of the quotes did. One of the 3 quotes was over $2,400, which shocked us! Prairie was able to schedule the work for the same week we called for our quote, which was great. The two electricians, Dean and Dylan, arrived right on time, and had called ahead, just as they said they would. They got right to work, and did a wonderful job! They were very careful not to bump the walls while bringing in and removing the very tall ladder that was required to reach the entryway light. They made sure we were happy with the aesthetic appearance of the lights, taking extra time to adjust the position and spacing of the arms and glass shades. The ceiling fan required attic work - not the most fun - but they put in the additional wire, ceiling fan rated box, and fan switch, and made sure everything was well cleaned up They were very professional and personable. We will DEFINITELY be calling Prairie Electric first, for any future electric upgrades or repairs! We highly recommend them! read more

Wednesday, February 24. I called Prairie around 8Am. Explained my problem, me thinking it was the circuit breaker going to our GE oven/broiler. The elements wouldn't heat although the oven light would come on. John checked the breaker situation and there wasn't any problem. Next he came in and opened up the oven control panel. He found the problem within 15 minutes or less. He fixed such and voila we have our oven back in service. John was very polite, wore a mask, the same as us, the homeowners. No complaints and I will definitely use them again if I should have an electrical problem. I would give them six stars if I could. : ) read more

I am a Happy Happy Customer!!! I've had Prairie Electric out to my house twice now . . . the first time because I was having issues with my outdoor lights working - and the second time because they did such an amazing job the first time - I had more things I wanted them to add! I now have additional motion detector lights for security (yaaay!) . . . I had them replace light switches in my kitchen and dining area so I could dim the lights (so awesome). They were on time - professional - friendly - and cleaned up after themselves. Can't say enough good things about how great they were! read more

My wife and I can sincerely put our names behind Prairie Electric. In fact, we are planning on adding a Hot Tub to our home sanctuary and we will for sure be using Prairie Electric! They have recently gone above & beyond to install our bathroom fan / light, along with towel heater, etc. They are not only professional, on time, hard working, and maintain a clean work area, but very "Over Communicational", polite, and respectful. Most vendors are NEVER these qualities. Thank you to Beau, Jessica, Dan, and many others for working together to give us a great experience! :) read more

I had an appointment for late in the afternoon but they called before noon saying they were now available and would it be convenient to come. It was and it worked out better for my schedule. Chris and Damon showed up and discovered the outlet problem immediately. While they were here they found another issue and fixed that as well. Both were very professional, friendly and they explained all the issues in laymans terms and how I can keep future electrical problems from happening. The bill was as expected. Excellent service! read more

Highly recommend these guys! Dean has come out a couple times now in the past year for a minor issue and this past week for a major project. This week Dean came out to replace our electric panel. He got the job done in a reasonable amount of time, almost like he could do it in his sleep. If you want someone to come out for a reasonable price, extremely knowledgeable, highly experienced, dependable, these are who want to resolve your electrical needs. read more

I had a crazy issue with power on a rainy Saturday at 3pm and Dean came out, found out the issue right away, and hung around helping me deal with my condo management property until it was fixed. Great guy and great service! Will ask for Dean again any time I have electrical issues! Edit: I live in Portland, Oregon. Not sure why my profile is showing San Francisco... read more

We had an electrical issue and made an appointment . They couldn't get us in until Thursday. Today is Monday and two technicians showed up and our problem was fixed. We were so pleased that they could make it earlier than Thursday! They were very thorough and efficient. We were very impressed with both of them and the work they did! read more

I asked for help on setting up our outside lights with a dawn to dusk system and they made a really great suggestion. The day of the appointment, Glen called and asked if we minded if he came early!!! He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and quick. Highly recommend and appreciate this service. read more

Prairie Electric made my day. They are a company I trust and would hire again. The work was quick and efficient. The cost of the job I had done was 77% less compared to a previous estimate.

We had a short list of electrical jobs that needed attention. Dan gave us an estimate and Dennis did a great job checking off the project list. They were quick and tidy, we'll call Prairie Electric again. read more

Dishonest, awful company and employees. As a previous reviewer said...avoid like the plague.
