“Marc came out to our office and did several things, added a ceiling light, added an outlet, and several other things. He was timely, professional, and efficient. I work with a real estate company and will definitely use On Electric again!”

Square 1 Electric

Local Electricians, Contractors & Companies in Portland

February 28, 2014

“Square 1 was great to work with. They not only were very competitive with price, but they actually went out of their way to add a payment option (in this case paypal and square) to allow us to use our American Express which is our preferred way to pay for business expenses. We were dealing with an old abandoned building on the property we lease but needed power to our food cart. In this case, we didnt want to power up the whole building in fear of having bad electrical in the abandoned building so Square 1 was able to come up with a way to get us power to the cart without having to deal with costly upgrades to the building itself! The installation happened within days of agreeing and they actually finished several days ahead of schedule! We will definitely use them for all our electrical needs both for our business and for our personal needs.”

Classic Electric

“I needed some electrical work done in our house and Thomas was fast, thorough and really cares about his craft. He worked smartly, offering suggestions on how to add some additional lighting fixtures I wanted in a tricky spot in my kitchen. He is a busy guy, because he is so good, but he will always get back in touch with you when you call! We will be using him again in the near future.”
