Customer Reviews
What Customers Say After
an Emergency Call
"Called him Thanksgiving Eve because my range caused my whole breaker box to go out. I was pretty bummed.. what an awful feeling having 20+ people coming over the next day. Not only did Ryan and his co worker come over and make it work. They were also awesome about it. I highly recommend Newman Electric to everyone."
David H.
Emergency Repair
"Came home at 3pm on a Thursday to discover I had some confounding sort of electrical issue. I called Newman at 3:35. By 4:30 they were leaving having diagnosed the issue and replaced two breakers and GFCI outlets. They were very up front about the emergency fee and did awesome work. A+ job"
