Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this company. The last 2 times we have used them they showed up late, unprepared, and without the needed tools or materials needed for the job, which I had been very specific about on the phone. Consequently, the job took much longer than it should have and the bill was significantly higher than anticipated. The manager was unconcerned about my displeasure when I called to talk to him about it. read more

I would steer as clear of these people as possible. I originally engaged them for a house that I built. I had some challenges with the power company because it was a brand new build without electrical service anywhere near the property yet. Bringing in the service required engineering and labor on the part of the power company. Part of why I hired them was because the owner, who is an older guy, assured me that he knew how to navigate the bureaucracy at the power company. At the time, transformers had up to six month lead time so I wanted to make sure that got ordered right away. The power company promised me that as soon as they got my signed contract and check, they would order the parts. Then they changed the rules and told me I needed to have initial electrical inspection first. So I called THEE so they could work their magic. After a couple of weeks of what I now think was just doing nothing and making no phone calls, they came back to me and told me that we needed to do the initial inspection as the power company ordered. This couldn't happen until the house was framed, which was months later. Thee came out and put up an electrical box and two outlets, the minimum for the initial inspection. But they put it in a different place than the power company had expected, and so the power company told me it would take another six months to redesign my power plan. They told me that my electrician should have known this. I called up THEE. They told me they would give me a proposal to install a cut off switch where the power company expected the power to come in, and run wires to the box they had installed. Eventually, that proposal was submitted and it was $4500. I asked for a breakdown of that, and they only broke it into three pieces: labor, materials, and inspection fee. The trouble was, those three pieces added up to $5000! They didn't even look at their original proposal or check the numbers to make sure that they added up to their quote of $4500. Well, this made my decision easy. I terminated them, hired Smith Electric, and everything worked out great. They did a few hours work and kept my $4000 deposit. This is not right. I have seen other reviews that are equally negative of this company. Many of those reviewers think these people are dishonest. I am not ready to say that, although the fact that it has been almost a year and they haven't given me a refund does tend to support that. But I prefer to explain bad service with incompetence and stupidity rather than malice if possible. The owner is in fact, fairly synaptically challenged. The example of not even checking his numbers when he gave me a breakdown of the proposal is one piece of evidence. When I went to their offices to fire him in person, which I think is the proper thing to do, he began with some chitchat story about selling a 30,000 kW generator to some municipality. I said wow, that's big - 30 megawatts! He corrected me and said no it's 30,000 kW. I tried to explain to him that one megawatt is 1000 kW, but he didn't understand. It turns out he actually meant it was just 30 kW. So not only was he an idiot for not understanding basic unit analysis, he was an idiot because he thought that was a big generator. On the honesty side, he did tell me that they had been doing this for years and claimed he had never been fired from a job. Looking at these reviews, I think that claim really does strain credulity. It is possible that he wasn't bright enough to know when he was being fired from other jobs. Many people in the trade have since told me they have had bad experiences with this company. They all say what I am urging anyone reading this to do: steer very clear of them. read more

Thee Electric does excellent work of the highest quality. They have handled all of our electrical needs for 10 years, and they always do excellent work, including the installation and servicing of General Whole House Generators. Great value for the money and superior service. read more

This company professes to be Christian but the owner is a con artist out for profit and they do not do quality work. They charge triple and cut corners. They do not file for required permits and the work done had to be corrected after we insisted the inspector come out. They did the same thing to my neighbor. Be sure to tell everyone you know that the are dishonest and unprofessional and thee employee that came to our home reeked like cigarettes and then left my basement smelling like cate pee, maybe cannabis. read more

Had to add that after I wrote my first review we had another problem with the generator installed by Thee Electric that will cost still thousands more to fix. I don't know where they got their electrician's license, but I have believe it was out of a cereal box. They GROUNDED my generator to a PLASTIC PIPE. I'm not an electrician, but I did pass high school science, so even I can recognize how monumentally stupid and hazordous this decisions was. Anyway, this time there was a surge it took out half of our kitchen wiring. The single worst decision we have made since buying our home in Williamston was hiring this company to install a generator. The job itself was not cheap, and it has cost us well over five grand to fix problems directly due to its shoddy installation. Please, I implore anyone looking for help with an electrical job to choose literally anywhere else. read more

Had Thee Electric out to run power to my barn and put in an interlock kit and plug for my portable generator. Did a fantastic job! Thank you for being prompt and professional! read more

Thee Electric Company came highly recommended. We were able to schedule an appointment within a reasonable time frame for one of our rental homes. The first problem was that an electrician showed up at a different address 2 days early. Then, they didn't show up at the right address on the scheduled day, even after apologizing for the error and confirming the appointment. On the third try, they were a no call, no show for the scheduled appointment. We called and cancelled our work order and got no apology from the person who answered the phone. If it takes them more than 3 tries to get the initial appointment right, there's no way we can trust their work. read more

Thee Electric Company came to my home and the tech was wonderful, put shoe covers on his shoes ,and had his mask on. The work that I had done was an outlet that was not working. With in 30 minutes the job was complete. I was very pleased. In 2020 I called Thee Electric got a same day appointment, the tech that came out did a great job. I did not mind paying the service call because it takes their time, gas and milage. This is not uncommon for business to charge a service fee. As a customer that is the first question I ask. Is there a fee for you to come to my home? read more

We interviewed a number of firms and thought this was the most solid and knowledgeable. Installation was on time and beautifully done. Service has been excellent and the whole-house generator has been invaluable more times than I can count at this point, given how often power goes out in our mid-Michigan neighborhood. read more

I won't hire Thee Electric again. FYI it's $120 just for them to come out and do a 5 minute estimate. They don't tell you that when you call to schedule an appointment. Their guy Cecil is not adept at running cat cables. He and a 2nd electrician were out here for a couple hours running a cat cable and didn't even bother to test the connection before they left! Once I checked it, and it didn't work, I called and told them someone needed to come back and correct it. On the one hand, they did send a 3rd electrician, Andy, out that night to fix it. The poor guy had to spend about an hour fixing Cecil and the 2nd guys mess. The entire cable was backwards and it was a disaster. Thee Electric needs to understand 2 things: 1. It's wrong to charge people that much money for a 'service fee' or whatever for just a 5 minute estimate visit. They need to notify every client of this when they make their initial appointment. They're basically backing clients into a corner to get them to book, because it's like well you're already out over $100 so why not hire them and spend some more? Idk it feels dishonest to me! 2. Know your employees skill sets and weaknesses and DO NOT send out an employee that doesn't know how to do the specified task at hand! The ONLY redeeming quality and reason I didn't give 1 star is because Andy came out to save the day and did a great job fixing Cecil's mess. My review might change depending on what the bill looks like when I get it. *stay tuned! read more

Work started July 6, 2022 finally passed inspection after much ado in late September! This was a new metal garage wiring job. From the non-licensed personnel working alone (discovered after the initial work was done) and not coming prepared for a metal building (specs were sent weeks before the work was to start), to not passing the inspection this whole project was a nightmare. A hole drilled through the freezer was not reported. When the inspection failed I was asked by the owner to sign a letter stating that I was ok with the violative conditions, I refused. I was then sent a quote for additional charges to fix the violative code conditions. Needless to say I was not going to sign that but I had to threaten to report their behavior before they came to fix the mess. Even with my friend watching their every move and making them do things differently as they went along the work was just barely good enough to pass the inspection. No scruples, shoddy workmanship, lack of respect for customers, and it wasn't cheap! Save yourself the grief and avoid them. read more

I recently hired Thee Electric to fix a very specific electrical problem at an unoccupied residential home in Lansing. Instead of just fixing the problem as requested, a manager, without permission, visited the property and conducted a complete inspection of the entire house to look for additional problems, claiming it was because he cared about the "best interests of his clients." The worker on the job and a manager opened four windows without screens to their maximum height, and screwed them open, damaging the wood. They also left the site with the storm door left wide open, numerous lights and fans left on throughout the house, and left the bottle for whatever they were drinking in the yard. This was around five o'clock Friday afternoon during a rainy week. Had I not returned to the property, the home would have been left in that condition the entire weekend. I contacted Thee Electric and told them that I did not appreciate the unprofessional manner in which they treated my property, or the survey conducted on my property by the manager, and that they were to stop work. The manager then turned my property into the City of Lansing for electric code violations; I believe this was done, not out of safety concerns, but in retaliation for firing them. I believe he also overcharged me for services because of my complaint. He charged for a commercial inspection, when the property is residential. He also charged for five and a half hours of work when there is no way that he spent five hours doing an unrequested inspection or work. Unless you appreciate being overcharged, having your property left unsecured to rain, bugs and intruders, and being expected to pay for work you never asked to be done, I would suggest you find a different electric company. read more
