We had just purchased a home and moved to Redding only to discover the electrical box did not meet current insurance industry standards. We contacted Carter Electric who promptly and professionally secured needed permits while working with PG&E for our electric panel replacement.It was a pleasure working with you!

I have been using Carter Electric for the last 5 years and highly recommend them. Not only do they have fantastic prices, but they have the best customer service. They actually respond quickly, call and explain everything and all possible options, answer questions, etc. They show up on time, are polite, and get the job done quickly. If you need an electrician, this is the place.

A fallen tree ripped the electrical service from the roof of our house. Carter Electric not only made those repairs but they also fixed other electrical problems that the previous owner hadn't disclosed. They did an outstanding job! I'd highly recommend them!Service: Electrical power restoration

I received excellent service in having a 220 outlet put in my kitchen. They went above and beyond in their service, not only did they add the 220 outlet but they took out my old cook top and placed a new one in. They saved me money and time by not having to hire a separate contractor. If that was not enough, they were reasonably priced as well.Service: Electrical outlet & switch repair

We had an amazing experience with Carter Electric. We had a big project with a lot of moving parts and Chris and his team were very professional and did a great job. Tony was always available to answer our many questions. We will definitely be using Carter for all of our future electrical projects.Service: Installation

Carter Electric has been my electrical contractor of choice for several years. Initially, Tony and his crew performed a major electrical expansion on a home renovation project on time and on budget. After the Carr fire demolished the pre-expansion portion of the house, Tony responded to our needs and got power up and running. Rather than rebuild, we bought a new to us home which needed a bit of polishing. Carter Electric, once again, stepped up and performed several upgrades to help us realize the comfort of a home. Just today, Tony’s crew finished up an upgrade of our office building lighting from old fluorescent to new LED. During all of these varied projects, Tony has made himself available to answer my questions, help with design considerations and educate. I’ve even jokingly referred to him as the Professor for LED 101. Tony, Chris and Matt have been extraordinary to deal with. I’m not sure what projects there will be in the future but I know that if electricity is involved, so too will Carter Electric be. Hands down, no hesitation about recommending this company.

We had work done today by Carter Electric and their service was spectacular. I called the office yesterday morning to set up a time for someone to come to the house for an estimate. I was told Tony, the owner, would be there at 4 pm and he arrived promptly. He said he would email an estimate that very evening, which it did and it was very satisfactory. I emailed him back and said to start the work at his earliest convenience. He said one of his men would be at our house at 9 am tomorrow. Sure enough, Cody, a wonderful young man, arrived just before 9 am and did outstanding work. How much better service can you get than that? I recommend Carter Electric highly.

I needed an electrician to install some fixtures in an older home with peculiar wiring, and did not feel able to do that ourselves. I called a handful of nearby electricians, but only Carter returned our call. An estimator came right away and quoted $650 to install 5 of the same ceiling lights, which I provided, and figure out why another new fixture wasn't working. It seemed steep to me, but I had no better option as nobody else would bid. There was some confusion about when the installer was coming, but he did come. Then, I didn't get a bill--my son in Denver had offered to pay, but it took far too long for anyone to tell me the cost. I even drove around trying to find the office, but the local address is a residence and the billing office is in another city--that's not a true problem, except nobody would tell me the price. Weeks later I did get the bill, which I paid immediately. The work was done very quickly and very well--that part was fine, and the electrician was friendly, punctual and efficient. The billing issue was just very peculiar. I don't doubt that the electrician who performed the work was well educated, experienced and in demand, but $650 for a couple of hours of wiring (two people) seemed quite steep to me. Again--I agreed to pay it, but I don't think I would use Carter again, and I would only recommend them after explaining our experience.Service: Light fixture installation

Tony gave us a fair bid. Chris was the guy who saw our project through to the end. He was skilled and patiently answered our many questions. He and Matt worked long hours to meet our timeline and circled back for fine tuning. Michelle was great to work with in the office. The Carter Electric team was professional and I’d recommend them.

Instant response on the verge of a holiday at that.Half of the rental house lost power and with new tenants having just moved in.I called at 9 am, Cody from Carter Electric was on site by 12:30. Cody was very professional and knowledgeable about the work at hand. He was working on an old antiquated patchwork of an electrical system. Located a break underground, got it repaired and working in no time.My tenants are happy and so am I.The value for the work performed was exceptional. Cody is a great asset to Carter and Carter as a company has my business for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend calling on Carter Electric if you have any electrical nightmares to deal with.Service: Electrical power restoration

We really appreciate Tony fitting us into his busy schedule last summer to install our home generator. They installed exactly what we need during all the PG&E outages in order to have power & water. Wonderful company that we highly recommend!

Our contractor highly recommended Tony for the electrical work we needed done for our back yard project. From our first contact with Tony to the completion of the job, it was a wonderful experience. Tony showed up as promised, came up with great solutions after listening to our ideas and the work was completed in a timely manner, with great quality of workmanship.We gladly and highly recommend Tony for any of your electrical needs.

Carter Electric did very professional work for me: installed 10 sconces around the exterior of my house; 12 path lights along my driveway; and spotlights and floodlights that accent specific features on my property. Many of these lights employ dusk-to-dawn sensors for automatic operation.Tony Carter, the owner, prepared detailed quotes for me on what he determined to be two separate projects and, after I had approved, he and his team carried out excellent installations. No surprises, no hassles. And this after two other electrical contractors with whom I had dealt bowed out, citing either project difficulties or scheduling conflicts.I will be using Carter Electric in the course of ongoing home renovation work.

We purchased a new spa, which required 220 volt power to be installed. We contacted Carter Electric and they came out right away to work up an estimate. The installation was a little tricky, but they have a "can do" attitude and were able to do some things to help keep costs down. The installation was done quickly, cleanly and price was reasonable. Would recommend them for your job.

Carter Electric has been doing electrical work at our house on and off for the past 5 years, from replacing fluorescent lights with LED’s, to installing smoke alarms, to replacing our fluorescent box lights with recessed can lights, and moving several outlets and plugs in a kitchen/living room remodel.The latest project was installation of a Generac propane generator, which came in handy during the PG&E public safety power shutoff. When PG&E cut the power, the Generac started up in about 15 seconds. When PG&E restored power, the Generac switched off and we were back on the grid. It was so easy and convenient, and we did not have to suffer through a power outage without water, heat, refrigeration, as we did in the past. Carter Electric’s electricians are professional, knowledgeable and courteous. They explained the generator to us, and were available In case we had questions during the first power outage. I would highly recommend Carter Electric.Services: Remodeling, Installation, Light fixture installation, Electrical outlet & switch relocation, Electrical panel replacement or upgrading

This is an absolutely gem of a company. I originally contact them about installing Cat-6 cable between two of my buildings and their work was so good I hired them to also fix a couple other issues I had in my bathroom and an outbuilding. These are now my go-to people for Electrical work. You won't regret working with them.Services: Ground wire installation, General repairs, Electrical outlet & switch repair, Electrical outlet & switch installation

Following the Redding Snow Storm of February 14, 2019, trees and limbs knocked down the power line to my home. They also bent my Weather Head at the house which PG&E would not reconnect service until that item was fixed. Tony Carter took a text while out of town on Sunday, came by the house to evaluate the job on Monday morning and had his service rep. at the house to fix the problem that Monday afternoon. Incredible considering electricians were in high demand due to this storm incident!

These guys are great! They were on time, friendly and really knew what they were doing. I definitely recommend Carter Electric. Very reasonable prices, which made me wonder why I have been trying to do this stuff myself all these years? I won't anymore - I'll be calling Carter Electric from now on.

Tony and his guys are wonderful to work with. No matter if it’s pulling more power from the street or putting lights on the covered patio the guys can do it all. Thank you for taking the time to fit us in for our latest project😍
