Electrical reviews in Chardon, Ohio

I am so delighted I found this company! Quality work at a great price! I have recommended Blue Collar Electricians to my friends.

From our first contact Blue Collar Electricians were professional and responsive. Our estimate was done promptly and cost shared the same day. Dennis was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything that would be repaired. Scheduling was easy. We were scheduled to have our panel replaced 2 weeks after the estimate. We were called and able to have it done a week earlier due to a cancelation. PAT and JAKE (aka Bert and Ernie) arrived right on time and got right to work. They took their time mapping out the rats nest that was our original panel. PAT took his time to create a sculptural masterpiece! Our panel is like a work of art, and better yet, it's safe and easy to read! Everything was flawless! We are so grateful for their professionalism and their pride of work. PAT and JAKE deserve a 20% raise, or a sports car, or maybe a pony! We will definitely call Blue Collar Electricians for ALL future work. Well done!

Blue Collar Electricians is a wonderful company to work with. From the office staff to the electricians, you can’t find a better group of people. John, our electrician, was very thorough in looking over the project. He explained what he thought would be the best set up for us, very polite, and cleaned up all area where he worked. Laura and Maranda, office staff, were very courteous, kind, and answered all my questions politely. I highly recommend Blue Collar Electricians.

Can't say enough positive things about Blue Collar Electricians, in particular Tyler & Reese. They braved the cold all day to hook up our hot tub. They did a wonderful job, were very informative and thorough. Very professional service. Will definitely call Blue Collar Electrician for all future electrical needs?

Blue Collar Electricians got us up and running on a Sunday! (July 2020)

A storm brought a limb down and loosened our main power line. Before power company came, a truck drove by and ripped that line off our house, taking the meter, box, everything with it on Saturday 6/27/20. Hot summer weekend, stuck with NO electricity until the meter/box gets repaired, the county inspectors come out to approve it, and then the power company comes back to install lines and meter.

I called a couple electrical repair companies and left messages - it's Saturday afternoon at this point - no one's answering.

Laura at Blue Collar Electricians calls me back on Sunday morning - she's not usually in, but noticed my urgent-sounding message. She sent out Patrick about an hour later, he evaluated it and they got the whole thing done on Sunday afternoon!

We needed a replacement of our main panel - there was a lot to do and rebuild. A few of the other electricians at BCE heard their co-worker Pat was working a big job on a Sunday, so they joined him to help so he could get it done faster (who even DOES THIS?!?!).

They finished it late Sunday afternoon, cleaned up any mess/debris, and did not charge more for the extra helping hands. They were very nice, helpful, tidy, and efficient.
Laura was kind, helpful, explained everything , and helped to get the county inspector out first thing on Monday, and the power company out shortly thereafter.

Honestly some of the nicest and most professional trades-persons I've dealt with! I can't say enough about their excellent service!
I definitely recommend Blue Collar Electricians!

My best experience ever with home repair! My initial phone call was answered immediately and a technician was at my house the next day. Jacob was efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable. I was emailed a quote within days! Even more amazing, the repairs and upgrades were completed within days. John left my house spotless (actually, cleaner than before). His work was meticulous. Finally, and most importantly, Blue Collar’s prices are significantly lower than what I expected!!

My sister recommended Blue Collar Electricians and I was not disappointed. We needed an updated panel and electricity trenched and run to our barn. What a great experience! On time, professional, they answered every question we had and treated us like intelligent human beings. I was surprised but happy on how well they cleaned up after our trenching project! Except for the dirt covering the trench you would not have known they were there…. And as a bonus the lead electrician had a wonderful sense of humor, many laughs while the crew worked. Highly recommend!

John did a GREAT job with the electric door installation at our church. He had a wonderful attitude, was friendly, and displayed a terrific knowledge of electrical work. Everything looked professionally done! He frequently ran the sweeper when he was done in an area so dirt wasn't tracked to other rooms. He explained everything as he went along and when he completed the job. It is good to see you can still hire a professional that does Master Level electrical work. Thanks John and Blue Collar Electricians.

TLTR: Our dog loves Blue Collar and so do we!

We can’t recommend Blue Collar enough! We’ve had the team out a few times since buying our new, old (1920s) home, and they’ve been wonderful. Both the electricians and administrative staff are friendly, professional and easy to work with. They completed a massive rewiring project in the house, updating about 75% of the home from old knob and tube wiring to modern wiring. Even after a full week, you could barely tell they’d been here. They’ve been out a few more times, including to install an EV car charger. Every time they’re here, they’ve also been so great with my dog - and every dog owner knows that’s the best way to judge character! We will definitely continue to use Blue Collar for our electrician needs!

I had a wonderful experience with Blue Collar Electricians!
Laura and Maranda went above and beyond answering my questions and helping me schedule service; Dennis was transparent with cost and didn't try to upsell / add services; John & Tyler were efficient and comprehensive in their work, and performed a thorough clean-up.
I needed both my inside and outside service replaced / updated, and sought a few quotes before making a decision. Blue Collar Electricians were superior in both customer service & cost. I feel confident recommending them.

Great communication throughout the whole process - from scheduling and estimate until the projects were done. John and Tyler were professional, patient, and knowledgable as they completed six different projects in my 105 year old house. They checked in with us regularly as they trouble shot several obstacles in the ancient wiring, and they were respectful of both our space and our home. I've already recommended them to others twice, and I will definitely use them again if/when needed.

Very good company to work with. They replaced three electrical panels and installed a new meter box, consolidated two meters to one, and added a portable generator switch to power the whole house during outages. Very courteous workers - and they are hiring and training young people! Support this company because they do great work, on time, and they are helping to bring along the next generation of skilled tradespeople.

I had an EV car charger installed and Patrick & Tyler did a fantastic job. They were respectful of our home, very professional, and left everything very clean. Patrick was very knowledgable during the estimate process and answered all of my questions. They also arrived exactly when they said they would, so I wasn't sitting around waiting all day. I would not hesitate to hire Blue Collar again for future work. Also, I had to have multiple conversations with the girls in the office and they were also incredibly nice and professional.

Blue Collar Electricians just completely rewired our 90-year old house, removing ALL original knob and tube wiring from 1930. This was a considerable job with about 3,000 sq ft on 4 levels including full basement and walk-up attic plus 500 sq ft detached garage/workshop. Everything was completed in less than 1 week.

These gentlemen are experienced, highly skilled, very knowledgeable, and very prideful in their work. Workmanship and quality are top-notch. Every switch, outlet, conduit, and junction box are level. The load panel (breaker box) is neatly labeled and behind the cover all wires are neat, orderly, and labeled again. The well-thought-out runs of cable visible in basement feeding various circuits are nicely grouped and secured, and armored cable was used in many areas, not just where strictly required (From my observation I believe Blue Collar exceeds codes in this and many other areas).

Our service upgrade from 60A to 100A included new everything from power lines to load center (breakers). On the exterior of the house, the riser is plumb, the new meter housing and related conduit into house through brick has been done very nicely with all penetrations sealed and virtually unnoticeable.

Blue Collar is very respectful of your property. They cover floors with drop cloths and continually shop vac up any debris they create while drilling, etc. Overall very very little damage was done to our plaster and lathe walls and ceilings. Unless you know where to look, you would not even notice the majority of it. These electricians are capable of working with a silver-dollar-sized hole to fish and run cable. Sometimes multiple small holes are needed across a longer run, but everything was rough patched with compound prior to their departure. The team also completely shop-vac’d the whole house when they were finished. Also, they identified and were very aware of and careful not to drill into a major 10inch structural support beam spanning the length of the basement, instead carefully running wires under and around this beam using “sleeves” of armored cable.

Blue Collar really stands out in the trades when it comes to their “can-do” approach. During the initial estimate, my requests to add lights, switches, ceiling fans, and outlets in completely new places was not a problem at all—even in areas I believed would be difficult to access. Also, during the actual job, the team was able to accommodate some additional requests that occurred to me while they were working. This is very much appreciated as sometimes desired features do not reveal themselves until a job is in progress.

Also, these guys work very well with building/code inspectors. They know the codes very well, and are able to provide quick access to key elements that the inspectors consider “must-see”. They take a proactive approach in these situations by openly sharing the job scope and communicating their overall approach to various circuits, cable runs, and grounding/bonding, and with the inspectors (as opposed to waiting to be asked). Our building inspector had zero issues and commended their work during both rough-in and final inspections.

The ladies in the office are always available via phone and email. Any questions or comments from us were always addressed the same day by the office. And one of the ladies actually visited our job site to support the crew and tour the project.

You will not go wrong with this company. You will find some of the most exceptionally best electricians in the field, and an overall high level of responsiveness. You would be hard-pressed to beat the workmanship and attention to detail. And, they all show much passion and enjoyment in what they do. I have even had one of the back already to add a switch/light that I overlooked during the main project, and will contact them next year for additional electrical work in the workshop.

We highly recommend Blue Collar Electricians! We had a fantastic experience with them from start to finish. First, Dennis came out to do an estimate then we had Jacob, Reese, and Tyler out for a full day's work updating and getting our electrical systems and outlets in order. Each electrician was personable, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and efficient. Jacob, Reese, and Tyler went above and beyond to help us with all things related to the job and things not related to the job. We really appreciated their extra help with our attic fans and electrical work. We can't say enough great things about our experience! Thank you so much!

We had them out a few months ago to do an estimate and do a good amount of work.
I can’t say enough good things about this wonderful local company.

They came out in a very reasonable time for both the estimate and work. All the people in office & field were great to work with, communication was clear/concise/timely and their words matched their actions.

Quality work at a fair price. The tech was scheduled for a very full day and he was on top of things. The owner stopped by and took on a piece of the work to help out and make sure it was finished that day as promised.

Great teamwork. We will absolutely have them back out for other things.

I had Tyler out to replace a light at the peak of my garage. He did an awesome job. He was very friendly, efficient and professional. Did a great job with no fuss or mess. In a very timely manner. The price was very fair in today’s market. I am very pleased all the way around and would recommend Blue Collar for any work you need done! Thanks Tyler for a job well done! 😊

Blue Collar replaced the knob and tube wiring in my home along with 2 electrical panels, they also fixed bunch of smaller issues.

Dennis, the owner, gave me a quote the same day he inspected the home, and they were able to schedule the work about a month out. Pat, Tyler, John, Jacob, and Calli completed all the work. They were always on time, professional, efficient, and worked their butts off the whole time they were there. A few issues came up during the work, but they were handled right away. Permits, city inspections, the utility company, they were all taken care off. I was impressed by their attention to detail, the whole team took pride in their work, and it showed.

Overall, I’m very happy with the work they did, work was completed on time and for the quoted price. Thumbs up to everyone at Blue Collar for making this job go as smooth as it did.

Very pleased with the work. Pat mounted my tv on my fireplace along with switching out my bathroom light fixture and outlets. He provided efficient work, very neat and clean, courteous gentleman, very professional and the quality is great. Highly skilled and knowledgeable! Will definitely be recommending this business to anyone and calling them back for all future jobs. Thank you Blue Collar!

John, Tyler, Kyle & Reese did a great job replacing my electrical panel, meter, installing a spa panel and fixing other electrical issues in my new house. I highly recommend 👍

We would highly recommend Blue Collar Electricians. They have done a few projects for us and have been wonderful and easy to work with from start to finish. John was so efficient, knowledgeable and solved every issue that came up. He went above and beyond. I would give more stars if I could!!
