Default wanted: referrals for electrician

We want to add a ceiling fan smack dab in the middle of our kitchen ceiling. It is hotter than Heck in there when we use the wall oven.

There is currently no fixture there or any wiring.

Pikes did our electric during our build. But I have seen mixed reviews on their after market work. And their prices seem high,

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!!

I highly recommend Lenhart Electric in Wildwood. They are professional, prompt and clean up after job is complete. Several of my neighbors use them for all electrical jobs.

Lenhart is a company, every electrician working is different. I used Galaxy, they wired our house. Their employee's where clean, the work was done with zero damage to any sheetrock, paint, etc. They installed 4 recessed lights in our master bedroom. And, they charged me less than I charged my customers 20 years when I was an electrical contractor.

I moved here 4 months ago and have used this electrician. He hung my crystal chandelier and I was very pleased. His name is Jaime Simoneau 352-396-1252. My name is Lori Locke and I live in Lake Deaton. Good luck!

I've had Pike's electric in a couple of times and have been very happy with them. They sow up on time and are very professional.

Another vote for Lenhart. I've used them several times - highly satisfied on each occasion.

We've used Pikes four times since closing on our house. They removed a dinette hanging light and replaced it with a pot light, added two outlets to the lanai, put an additional outlet to the front porch, and installed a ceiling fan & light on our front porch. Did excellent work.

You could get estimates from them and the two others people like here.

I called Jamie Simoneau and he showed up on time to give me an estimate. He not only gave me a great estimate, he started work immediately. In no time he moved two crystal chandelier's, and a ceiling fan fan from one villa to another. He was very professional, neat, clean, and a very nice person. I would strongly recommend him anytime electrical work is needed. His number is 352-396-1252

We are also interested in having recessed lights installed in our home (dark corner in windowless area). Did Galaxy help you with the selection of the recessed lights, or did you need to know what to put in place? Also, did you supply the lights, or did Galaxy? Thank you!
