We had been without our dishwasher for over a year. One day, it just showed no power. We had a storm one night, and the power came on in the dishwasher. It did that a couple more times after storms. I began to be concerned that this on-and-off thing might cause a fire. Although, the dishwasher was off all the time by then. The Terrapin employee, explained the problem, and made the repair to the dishwasher wiring problem very quickly. I couldn't be more pleased with the service. My only regret is that I hadn't called Terrapin Electric earlier.

Details: Inconsistent power • Circuit breaker panel or fuse box • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • House

I had an urgent request to fix several electrical outlets before we hosted guests in our home. Terrapin was able to come out on short notice and saved the day. They not only fixed the problem but educated me on how to prevent the issue in the future. Will definitely use them again in the future!

I am so happy that I found Terrapin Electric! Kevin Loessberg recently installed six Philips Hue Resonate Outdoor Smart Wall Lights in my home. And it goes without saying, Kevin did a fantastic job! Very impressed! Not only was he prompt, honest, and very courteous, but he was also extremely professional. Kevin was very upfront with project costs and time. Also, his prices were very fair. Kevin’s work is meticulously planned out and executed to perfection! I have never worked with a contractor who had better communication or pride in his work! I appreciated his consistent communication throughout the entire process and was very happy that my work could be completed within days after receiving the detailed quote! It's really rare to find his level of work ethic (and commitment to a job well done) these days. Therefore, if you are looking for a professional who will be on time, communicate clearly, complete the work exactly as you desire, and provide a level of service rarely found these days, we highly recommend Kevin Loessberg at Terrapin Electric for your home needs. I would highly recommend him and use Terrapin Electric for all my future electrical work!

Details: New lighting installation • 5-10 lights • Under 8 feet (low ceiling) • Indoors • Existing property • House
