I've had two great experiences with Jeremy and Ideal Electric, the most recent was installing a whole house generator. Not only was Jeremy able to do the job substantially cheaper than some of the bigger names, but he did an excellent job, and I can tell that he really cares about the quality of his work and taking care of his customers. I would 100% trust him for all my future electrical needs - I have total confidence that he'll do the job well, and at a fair price.

We had a Generac whole house generator installed by Ideal Electric. Prior to installation, we had questions and communicated via email. Jeremy (the owner) responded quickly and answered all our questions. He and his crew came on the day they said they would. The installation process took a day which is what he had said. They cleaned up everything and even vacuumed in our basement. I would highly recommend Ideal Electric for any of electric needs.

I had another electrician install my Generac emergency generator, unfortunately. After 3 weeks of having the other guy back, I found Jeremy. He not only is a generac dealer, he is a certified technician on them. He was able to remedy the issue that has been a headache for me since the original hookup . I would strongly urge and recommend him to my family and friends.
