From the initial appointment to installation, Buckingham Electric exhibited extraordinary service and professionalism. Derrick was very helpful in explaining everything during our initial appointment, and was very responsive in each subsequent communication. Austin and Chris did a excellent and quick installation of multiple outside light fixtures. I highly recommend these professionals.

I have a lot of experience in electricity-related areas so I am quite demanding and critical. Each time I have called Buckingham, scheduling was prompt and the techs were knowledgeable, accommodating and thorough. They arrived on time and in the most recent case came back quickly to resolve an issue that was not clearly their responsibility. I really like dealing with these pros and will recommend them to my neighbors.

Every part of our experience with Buckingham Electric was excellent. From our first interaction with the office to the detailed work completed. The team scheduled our estimate quickly, and Derek showed up exactly on time. He listened to our needs, and was very friendly and considerate, and had great suggestions to add value. He provided the quote before he left, and gave an estimate on lead time to start the project at our convenience.
We felt the estimate to be reasonable for the work involved. We had the same experience with Jason who arrived exactly on time for the multiple projects on the plan. He had an apprentice with him and we appreciated how Jason and Dave worked collaboratively. This team was excellent in communicating with us to ensure each element of the project was to our expectation, before, during and after.
They cared about the work environment, being very careful to put down drop cloths, and use painters tape for marking. Jason completed 100% of the work within the estimated amount of time - and was clearly focused on details. The cost of the project was exactly as the estimate had indicated - as such we were pleased. We would HIGHLY recommend the team from Buckingham Electric for your next home improvement project. Howie and Elizabeth

A tree fell and knocked out our electrical service and meter. I called a few electricians and most weren't actually willing to come out right away, and the contractor from the insurance company said repairs could be a few days. Buckingham had me text them photos of the damages and picked up all the equipment and were working at my house in an hour. They did a fantastic job and finished in time for the power company to restore our power by evening! Totally awesome!

Wow! I wound up having to call these guys on New Years day due to what I was fearful was an issue related to water and electric. They came out immediately. As it turned out, it was not so serious, but their attention to my concern was so very much appreciated. They also made some other repairs for me that were quite obvious since they were there for the hour anyway. They could have just left, but they did stay and earned their pay -- which was not jacked up due to the holiday! Would call them again in a heartbeat!

We have used Buckingham electric twice - to purchase and install our solar panels and to hook up a subpanel to run a pottery kiln in our garage. I found them to be professional, timely, responsible, friendly and all around excellent. Also they do a great job cleaning up after themselves which is always a bonus! Highly recommend!

We needed help from a professional electrician to fix a number of problems in our home's complicated electrical system. We called Buckingham Electric and Derek Gladding responded. He was prompt, efficient, and amazingly well prepared, even for problems that popped up unexpectedly. They have earned our trust, and we now know who to call for any electrical problems.
When a light fixture separated from an ancient ceiling fan in my 122-year-old office with boulders for walls, I wasn't sure what an electrician would find. Buckingham Electric sent Jason Ingram. He came when he said he would (even though he wasn't sure what he was getting into), got right to work, and fixed the problem. He even brought light bulbs! I put Buckingham Electric on the company speed-dial.

We use Buckingham electric for our electrical needs and the guys have always been very professional. They are always on time and do a great job. One of the things i like most is when i have a job that needs to be done quickly they always seem to fit me in as soon as possible. Derrick always gives us the best price and we get the quote same day. Jason has done several jobs for us and always communicates the process and gives a follow up call to make sure we are satisfied. Great company i give them a well deserved 5 stars.

We had a number of outlets in our kitchen go dead, but I could not find a GFCI. Within an hour of my calling Buckingham two techs were at our door, donning protective boots, ready to jump in. I estimate it took no more than 30 seconds for them to find and reset the appropriate GFCI, problem solved. Because it was such a quick solution they very kindly offered not to charge for this visit, and asked only that when we need more comprehensive help we think of them first. We sure will!

Jason Israel and his partner Josh come to our home following a lightning strike directly on the house. A fan had been knocked down, outlets disabled and various appliances damaged. They arrived on time. They explained the likely cost and performed the work efficiently and effectively. They had suggested surge protection to which we agreed but later Jason told me that we already had it and it was functioning well. Honest, competent and reliable are the words I would use to describe our experience with Jason and Josh from Buckingham Electric. Bob Hunter Hendersonville, NC

Derek and Nick were able to correct 2 of the matters on the spot and identify the problem with the 3rd for which they will need to order a part. The were very pleasant and professional. Originally it was going to take a week before they got out to my house but I was put on a cancellation list and they were able to come out sooner. I also got a quote from them for additional outdoor lighting.
