The Verdict
Spectrum Electric does reliable work, but it's an everyday electrician rather than a solar specialist. We analyzed nearly a hundred reviews and found a consistent pattern: skilled technicians show up on time, explain the job clearly, and leave the site clean. One homeowner watched a crew member spend his own evening planning the best lighting layout for a kitchen remodel, which says something about how seriously the team takes each project. Another reviewer had a technician stay in touch with their appliance repair guy days after the visit to help troubleshoot a microwave issue. That kind of follow-through is rare. The company handles everything from panel upgrades to outlet replacements, and 34 reviews specifically praised the quality of the finished work. But you won't find mentions of solar installations in these reviews. If you need a dependable electrician for standard residential work and want a crew that won't ghost you after the job, Spectrum is a safe bet. If you're specifically researching solar contractors, keep looking.
If you need general electrical work done right, Spectrum Electric is a solid hire. But this isn't a solar installer, so if you're shopping for panels, you're in the wrong place.
3 Stories That Stood Out
After Spectrum Electric had already replaced her old Federal Pacific circuit breaker, Debbie brought them back to handle the electrical for a major kitchen remodel. Mike’s three-man crew spent two solid days rewiring the lighting, relocating appliances, replacing the main service line into the house, and installing numerous new switches and outlets. The quote was reasonable, and Mike refused to take the kinds of shortcuts other electricians might have considered, insisting on tidy, code‑forward work. What stood out most was the crew’s thoughtfulness: one electrician, Adam, took time to walk through where lights would be most useful, explained how different placements would direct the light, and even used his spare time at home sketching the best configuration. The team carried themselves with professionalism and courtesy, and the inspector complimented the quality of their work. Debbie trusted them enough to make them her go‑to electricians, and what she still remembers most is Adam’s late‑night planning — the reason the new kitchen lights fall exactly where she needs them.
cat 2006 found Spectrum Electrical on Google when a microwave started misbehaving and they needed an electrician to check the power line. A helpful, professional representative arranged a same-day visit, and Ramone showed up to diagnose the problem. He took his time troubleshooting and, unusually, followed up a couple days later by speaking with their appliance repair technician to compare notes and help get the microwave fixed. They gave Spectrum top marks — the technician’s follow-through after the service was the detail that stuck with them.
When a sudden loss of power knocked her company offline and forced a full system rebuild, Jillian called Alex, who answered immediately. He assessed the situation, mapped out the repair, and took charge of the rebuild — handling the technical details and stepping in to coordinate with the local building office and inspectors so the work could move forward. She ended up with power restored and felt confident throughout because Alex combined clear technical know‑how with hands‑on management of permits and inspections. The takeaway that stuck: his rapid response plus proactive handling of permitting and inspector coordination got the business back online when it mattered most.

What You Can Expect
Bonnie has called Spectrum Electric back to her house several times over the past eight years for work ranging from a panel change to new electrical in the entire kitchen, and most recently replacing fans and outlets. She kept choosing them because every visit was clean, courteous and professional, and the crew consistently stood behind their work. That steady reliability led her to recommend them to several neighbors and friends. The detail that sticks with her: they follow through on their promises, so hiring them feels like a dependable, long-term solution for electrical needs.
Mary Gustafson faced a tight timeline for her solar installation and counted on the company's project rep, Alex, to keep things moving. He responded quickly to her questions and maintained steady communication throughout the process, staying in touch all the way through the final inspection. She appreciated that one person managed the schedule and updates from start to finish — the continuous follow-through to the inspection was the detail that stood out.
Amparo Pérez called Spectrum Electric to evaluate the electrical work at her home and to have an outlet and a receptacle switch installed. It was her first time with the company, and when Mr. Casey inspected the main panel she discovered his technical knowledge and straightforward, good-faith advice immediately set him apart from other contractors. After hearing imprecise or inflated recommendations elsewhere, she appreciated that he identified only the outlet and switch as necessary and then completed that work. She valued the combination of competence and honesty because it kept her from paying for unnecessary repairs. She plans to use Spectrum Electric for future electrical work, and what will stick with her is that the technician told her exactly what was needed — and nothing more.
Jim hired Parker for a kitchen renovation and discovered a team that was both punctual and professional. He appreciated that the crew showed up on time, kept the job running smoothly, and produced a finished kitchen he was happy with. He recommends Parker particularly for homeowners who value reliability and a no-nonsense approach to remodeling.
Christopher had a fantastic experience with Spectrum when they replaced a pantry light fixture in his home. Alex, the electrician, explained the different fixture options, completed the installation efficiently and thoroughly, then troubleshot the light until it worked exactly as he wanted. Before leaving, Alex cleaned the work area. What stood out was the hands-on follow-through — clear choices up front, careful workmanship, immediate problem-solving and a tidy finish — and the whole job felt professional, knowledgeable and affordable. For a simple home lighting upgrade, the attention to those finishing touches is what he remembers most.
Peter wished he could give Parker at Spectrum Electric six stars. He worked with Parker to tackle persistent lighting problems at the Sweetwater Club HOA and discovered a technician who really knows his stuff. Parker kept digging in and went the extra mile until the HOA lighting was fixed, blending technical know-how with persistence. What stuck with him was that combination of competence and follow-through—Parker didn't stop until the problem was solved.
Stefani called needing service and was first told there were no appointments, but the company phoned back soon after to say a technician was available. They sent Jason, who arrived friendly, efficient and kind; he walked her through every step and completed the work with clear professionalism. She found the price very reasonable and the whole process painless. What stuck with her most was Jason’s plain, patient explanations — she left with the problem fixed and a clear understanding of what had been done.
John A. called in Parker and Jason to repair several ceiling fans in his home. During the visit they diagnosed and repaired problems with the main breaker that had been flagged in his initial inspection. The work was completed professionally, the pricing felt fair, and the final invoice matched the estimate. The detail that sticks: an unexpected breaker issue got resolved during the service without any surprise charges — the estimate held true and the technicians fixed everything.
Chelsea McHugh has used this company for multiple projects and keeps coming back because each job impressed her. She discovered Alex and Jason to be exceptionally skilled—punctual, quick to respond, and ready with practical suggestions for getting the most out of an electrical space. Their knowledge and clear, usable recommendations took the guesswork out of decisions, so she relies on them for any electrical need. When something comes up, she calls Alex and Jason first, confident they’ll show up on time and handle it well.
