Default Pikes Electric .... excellent

We needed some special lighting in the kitchen. Having used Pikes in the past for all our electrical needs, we used them again. They did a great job for us, not cheap and certainly not handiman prices, but as everyone says "you get what you pay for".

I would recommend Pikes work to anyone looking for an excellent job which is guaranteed.

I called Pikes to fix a short circuit in the dining room light. The gal on the phone was nice enough to interrupt my description of the problem to let me know that their earliest appointment was two months out. I'm sure they're great, but I guess they're a little overwhelmed by all the work they gotten from the good reviews like this one.

So I called Sun State Power and made an appointment in three days. "Dakota" was friendly and efficient and didn't even mind an old man kibitzing while he worked. He had to replace a wire from the switch to the chandelier. Afterwards, he carefully replaced the insulation in the attic and cleaned up the dining room with his own vacuum. The charge was reasonable and exactly as quoted.

I'd recommend them to anyone.

I agree with the quality of Pikes work. Have not had any need for them for a while, so I can't attest to their availability, but given all the new housing I can believe they are slammed.

I sure miss the lighting store they had at Sumter Landing. Their products hit the sweet spot between Home Depot junk and the high-end stuff.

There are two "Sun State Power" companies when I do a google search - one's in Belleview and the other is in Ocala. Which one did you use? Do you have a phone number?

Thanks!

We had Pikes install a sub-panel and power for a hot tub. Excellent job. Where I've seen other companies just punch a hole through the birdcage, Pikes actually drilled through our pool slab to bring the conduit in. Very clean job. Casandra in the office was also a dream to work with. Communicated every step of the way, even letting us know when the inspector was coming.

We have used PIkes on several occasions and have always been very satisfied. And I will use a handyman to repair a cabinet door. I will use an electrician to deal with electrical matters.

Agree that Pikes are very busy and it is good to know we have alternatives in TV. My lighting was a special order so I was prepared to wait, but sometimes you just need someone right now.

I agree. I recently replaced my dining room light fixture. The electrician arrived on time, was very pleasant and did a great job. I am very pleased with them.

We've been here 11 years and have always used Pike's. They have been responsive, reasonable and professional. I would also highly recommend them...

We've used Pike's a number of times over the last 8 years. The did a great job every time. If I need more electrical work done I'll use Pike's again.
