What Arcata customers say
★★★★★Our restaurant lost power to the walk-in on a Saturday night. They came out fast, replaced a failed breaker and got us reopened. Saved a lot of food and a lot of stress.
★★★★★Ceiling fans in three bedrooms with no existing wiring. Braced boxes, new switches, all in one afternoon. Our Arcata summers are a lot more comfortable now.
★★★★★Called at 11 pm with a burning smell from the panel. An electrician was at our Arcata house within the hour, found the loose connection and had it fixed before midnight. Genuinely grateful.
