Edgar determined which fixtures were defective and which ones were not and how best to proceed. I had 6 light fixtures replaced, 1 new light fixture added, 1 outlet installed, 3 outlets repaired or improved. Since we were new to this house, it was important to make sure the electrical work was done to code and repaired, as needed, and Edgar did an outstanding job! I expect that I will have more work to be done in the Spring and will not hesitate to call EIM. I have attached some before and after pics.

I hired Edgar a few times now for help with my garage electrical work. Most recently I had him…read moreinstall a wall charger for my electric vehicle and I'm so happy with how it turned out. Edgar always shows up on time and has great communication throughout the process. He is a fantastic electrician with great attention to detail and work ethic. He goes above and beyond to ensure things are done the right way! I highly recommend hiring EIM for your next project!

Foster Electric is GREAT!! My home is over 100 years old and needed to be hardwired for a security…read moresystem with three exterior cameras, and two video doorbells. I knew it wasn't going to be a quick and easy job. My primary concern was that the wiring wouldn't be visible, which would detract from my home's appearance. It was raining on the scheduled installation date, and I fully expected a call from Foster asking to reschedule. To my complete surprise, Nate and Joe showed up promptly on time, ready to tackle the task. The siding material on my house is thick, hard as a rock and pretty tough to drill through. It took a full day and a good part of the following morning. In the end, the job they did was BEAUTIFUL. Not a wire to be seen anywhere, and no mess left behind. Need electrical done? Forget the rest and hire the best. Call Foster Electric. I'm sure glad I did and will again.

They came the next day within the time window given. Two rather polite men showed up, verified what we wanted, got to work. They were not only professional and conscientious as they worked, they threw in a few added items needed (new outlets and plates) at no extra cost. They tested their work, I happily paid, and they were off. We'll definitely hire them again as need be. Highly recommended!

No one answered their office phone or responded to a direct message. After a couple of days waiting for a human to reply in chat, I simply got another automated response telling me to call their office if I'm still interested in this project. Well, I was interested, but I didn't get the impression that they were. I went with another company that is definitely staffed by human beings and not chatbots. This company seems to have good reviews so maybe my experience is an anomaly. First impressions are important though.

If you have to call an electrician, these two guys are where it's at. Also, no credit cards accepted, cash or check only. I didn't know that before hand but Duane let me drop it off later that day to his shop in Crown Point.
