EXCELLENT Based on 66 reviews Dr. Alexander M.2025-02-16 After calling Emelco to replace 3 external lights plus the front door lockset with new ones I had purchased that were totally different for my new home, they were able to arrive at my place in less than 1 hour. I witnessed their quality work all the way, and they completed all replacements quickly in about an hour. I am very impressed with their excellent service and highly recommend them for all electrical work including the wiring and installation of electric vehicle charger that they did for me in a previous service call. They are also able to take care of certain mechanical services such as vent and smoke detector relocation. I paid $350 for their labor this time which considering how quickly they arrived and completed the job is definitely worth it. Thank you Emelco for your excellent service.
