Recommended Customer Reviews

I needed electrical help today and as per usual Laughlin Electric took care of my problem. They are always courteous, hard workers and they do not quit until the problem is solved. Bobby is brilliant at electrical issues. He brought Lucas with him and he was willing to do whatever was necessary to get my Starlink installed and working. Thank you so much - I'm finally going to have continuous internet.

Cody masterly installed a Level 2 EV charger at my house and also fixed a
few GFI outlets that were not working. Also installed an outside transformer for external lights. He was a real pleasure to work with and everything he worked on is working perfectly.
I will definitely call Laughlin Electric again when I need electrical work and hopefully be able to work with Cody again.

Called Laughlin Electric in an emergency, needing same day service. Spoke with Lucas. His customer service was positive and professional. He went out of his way to make a field call and scheduled an electrician to arrive as soon as possible. Sure enough, 15 minutes later, Robert an electrician of 30+ years, arrived at the house. He was able to diagnose and repair the issue with a personable/professional attitude and skill. The follow up invoice/estimate was clear, concise and reasonable . I'd highly recommend Laughlin Electric to friends and family. Thank You!

I called to get an estimate for a few days of electrical work on my house -- they charge $89 for an estimate (applied to bill if you hire them). No other companies I contacted do this (though lots of other companies don't eve n return your call!). I declined to pay for an estimate. I have no information about their actual work since I did not proceed with them.

Super fast response, a technician showed up within 30 minutes of calling. Good honest company, will definitely use them again in the future.

Did the complicated job once and did it right on time and on budget. What else can you ask for ?

Laughlin's crew, especially Rob, was very responsive and detailed. We added can lighting to three rooms, hallway, and den, plus closet lighting and an exterior motion light. They were courteous and efficient. The price was very reasonable and they started within days of giving us a fixed price for the work and worked every day until finished.

Rob came out to fix a breaker that I thought I'd have to replace with more amps.
He informed me that there was nothing wrong with the breaker and showed me how to flip it properly by myself if my issue ever comes up again.
He was prompt, concerned and efficient. I can highly recommend this business and Rob in particular !

We had four new fixtures put in our bathroom by Laughlin electric. Very responsive to phone calls. They had a technician come to our house within about 30 minutes to give us an estimate and were able to install the lights that day. The technician did a great job installing the lights. They cleaned up after themselves. The price was reasonable. Most importantly the technician like dogs. I am very impressed and would recommend.

I haven't had any work done by this company yet. My subzero just stopped working on a Friday night. I called this company and although they don't work on weekends, they texted me on Saturday and went over what could be wrong. He spent a long time going over things before he can get here on Monday. I will let you know once the work is done.
