Our Happy Clients
Kristofer Castro
We’ve hired Mike from Sole Electric for several projects in our home, and he’s become our go‑to electrician for both our family and friends. He is consistently thorough, communicative, and professional. He explains what he’s doing, why he’s doing it, and gives you clear choices along the way. Highly highly recommend Sole Electric for any electrical work! I’ve got more projects in the future, I’ll be coming back for!
Benmark Salvador
I highly recommend Sole Electric. Mike is very professional and friendly at the same time. He will tell you what you need to know about all the upgrades you can do at your home at a good price. He did my EV charging and home panel. I was so impressed with his work, clean and organized.
Michael Wightman
If you need a reliable and trustworthy electrician, Mike is the guy. No question. Do not hesitate. He will deliver, whether a big task (like a new EV charger install) or small (like new smart thermostats). He can do it all, and will do it properly, and without any hassles. I will not need to call anybody else ever, except Mike. Thanks!!!
