Christopher helped us sort out some issues we had with our kitchen cabinet lighting. He successfully installed a new transformer and swapped out some of the legacy lights. This required lots of troubleshooting to understand the existing Control-4 smart lighting system in order for the lights to work properly. I would hire Christopher again for other electrical projects.

Reviews
Christopher is a 10/10 electrician + all things handyman. He recently helped me install a chandelier on my very tall ceiling. He was quick to respond, easy to talk to, and offered me the best value (after shopping around). Highly recommend!
Very knowledgeable did quality work and cleaned up after himself.
Chris Hallett did an incredible job setting up the electrical work for my new AC installation. He arrived right on time, jumped straight to work, and provided a very fair, competitive quote upfront. The quality of his craftsmanship was top-notch, clearly showing his expert knowledge and attention to detail throughout the job. Throughout the whole process, Chris was extremely professional, communicative, and respectful of my home. He delivered tremendous value for the price, and I’ll definitely be hiring him again for any future electrical needs.
