Downing Electric did a fantastic job installing my home EV charger. They completed the installation quickly, cleanly, and professionally, and even managed to do the work without shutting off power to the rest of the house. The pricing was reasonable, the quoting process was straightforward, and all work was performed exactly as agreed. No surprises, no hassles, just quality workmanship and a job done right. I couldn't be happier with the experience and highly recommend Downing Electric to anyone looking to have a home EV charger installed!

I love working with Downing Electric! We had requested quotes from several contractors who did not get back to us. After I met with Kevin, there was a quote in my email and he completed the work the next day! I was very lucky he had an opening. All the electricians were very professional and knew their stuff. They installed A charging station for our electric vehicle and replaced faulty breakers. I will definitely use them again!
2-man crew came to install an EV charger. They were polite, attentive and informative. Did a great job and spotless cleanup.
We have used Downing Electric for several projects. They have been very responsive and their work has been exemplary. Additionally, their rates are quite reasonable. I would highly recommend Downing to anyone needing electrical work.

Kevin at Downing Electric did an excellent job with electrical work that we needed done. He is very knowledgeable and went over and above our expectations. He was available relatively quickly and communicated well. His prices were reasonable and well worth his expertise. Thank you to the Downing Electric team!

Kevin was very professional and competent; we had requested the project in our home to be completed by Thanksgiving, and he worked on a Sunday to make it happen. Extremely efficient communication from his admin team. Excellent overall service experience.
