Bates electric did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. We had electric panels replaced in basement with whole home surge protection. Outdoor electric ran to two roofs over patio and deck and two fans installed. Bryan was professional and friendly. He was amazing doing all the work.
If you need work done at your home you can't go wrong with Bates Electric. I recommend them and Bryan. Thanks again!

We needed to have an electrician come out to fix an issue with us constantly tripping the breaker and having too many outlets tied to a single circuit. We also wanted to get a couple of new outlets in other areas while we had someone out. Bates was able to get us scheduled quickly which was awesome. Scott Redfern was absolutely wonderful. We had a previous electrical company by to try and tackle the project and they were rude and hesitant to take it on, and that was the complete opposite of Scott. He took the time to figure out the best approach for our situation and was able to get our outlets that were constantly tripping in multiple rooms on seperate circuits. His great thinking allowed us to get this done without ripping up tile or any other ideas that would cause a big headache. He even went out of his way to get a section of drywall for us to do the patch. The wiring for the external looks amazing, he did a wonderul job of feeding it so that it follows along underneath the gutters to get us power to our patio in the back. Our house is older and has some quirks that put off other electricians that came by but Scott did a wonderful job. Now we have the dedicated circuits, new receptical in the family room, the 2 external outlets and a very happy wife. Scott was an incredibly nice and knowledgeable guy who went above and beyond. Would definitley recommend and we know the company to reach out to for anything in the future.

Ryan was very friendly and he did a great job replacing my weatherhead that was pulled down in the recent ice storm and Natalie took care of dealing with NES for me and scheduling everything in a timely fashion.
I appreciate the professional competence, the good communication and fair pricing.
I would definitely recommend Bates for all electrical needs to anyone.

I had my panel board replaced and the service entrance updated by the Brda team. Steve and Kenny did a great job. They were personable, professional, and knowledgeable. I appreciated their expertise, attention to detail, and their focus on getting the job done in a timely manner.

Geoff Waller on Bates Electric

Ian and Berto did an outstanding job upgrading my 100 amp panel to 200 amps, wiring and installing an outdoor light for my patio, installing a 50 amp plug-in for my fifth wheel, an inlet for my portable generator, and an outlet for my hot tub. They also fixed my outdoor meter to code. I highly recommend Bates Electric and their terrific staff!
