Bell Electric designed and installed exterior lighting for my business. Before the install our parking lot and exits were dark and unsafe at night. Now there is ample light where we need it and the added security feature of motion activation if anyone pulls in after hours. Very happy with the results, and the crew was very friendly, neat and professional.
We worked with Bell Electric throughout 2025 while renovating two beach houses we purchased in May, and they were outstanding from start to finish.Both homes had outdated electrical systems and required significant upgrades. Each house needed a new electrical panel, with one requiring a full upgrade to 200 amps. Bell Electric handled everything seamlessly, including electrical for mini-splits, new appliances brought fully up to code, smoke and CO2 alarms, new lighting throughout both homes (both indoor and outdoor), outdoor outlet replacements, and additional upgrades as the projects progressed.They also installed all of our light fixtures, ceiling fans, and a bathroom heater exhaust fan that I cannot recommend enough. Their attention to detail truly set them apart. They came prepared with the correct switches and controls for each fixture, without needing extensive direction. In the bathroom, they installed separate switches for the sconces, fan light, and an integrated timer for the heat function (which I didn’t even realize was a feature), along with a standard exhaust-only option.For the ceiling fans, they thoughtfully mounted the remotes on the walls next to the light switches — small details that make a big difference in everyday use. This level of care was especially appreciated since I wasn’t always on site to oversee every detail.We also valued their clear communication and organization. They consistently provided detailed PDF estimates before starting work and used a text notification system to let us know exactly who was en route and when, making coordination effortless.Bell Electric delivered high-quality, code-compliant work, stayed reliable throughout the entire process, and made a complex renovation feel manageable.A special shoutout to Travis, who completed much of the work — professional, detail-oriented, and a true asset to the team.If you’re looking for an electrical company you can trust to do things right, I highly recommend Bell Electric.
We have had Bell Electric work in our home several times, to diagnose issues, to get us up to code, and to add some additional features. In each case the crews were professional, personable, and efficient. Communication about when to expect crews and the approximate length of service was excellent. Even the invoices are thorough and provide additional information about your service! Stephen sets an example of excellence that filters through to everyone on the team. We could not be more pleased and highly recommend them!P.S. Special shout out to Travis who promised us the heater he installed would really make the kitchen more comfortable. He was right! Thank you!
Bell Electric was excellent to work with --- efficient and fairly priced, with accurate estimates. Garth was here all day while I worked from home and made very little noise and left no mess behind! He even put everything back in my cabinets. Very happy!
I would highly recommend Bell Electric. Steve got me scheduled in a timely manner to have some light fixtures switched out. The two electricians who did the job were professional and did a great job! Thank you, Bell Electric.
