Had ABR install an outdoor light. Wendii called the day before to offer an earlier appointment since an electrician was in the area—great communication! Jason Hensley texted right away with his ETA and showed up promptly. He was friendly, informative, and took the time to answer questions—even made small talk while working in the heat. He cleaned as he worked and double-checked everything before leaving. It was a simple job, but having a pro do it gave me peace of mind. The price was fair, and the work was top-notch. This was my second time using ABR, and both times were excellent. Highly recommend!

Wendii at ABR was quick to respond and incredibly helpful. She was able to determine I had a problem related to breakers subject to recall and guided me on how to contact the manufacturer and have them sent under warranty. Once the parts arrived, ABR was very fast to schedule a tech to install them. Excellent experience—will absolutely use again in the future.

Jason was personable and very good at his job! I was put at ease right away when they showed up on time. Wendy in the office kept me in the loop and I was amazed at how efficient they were. A problem on my home, that needed an upgrade for years, was solved in just about an hour! Excellent work from the ABR team. I was thrilled and elated when the bill came in lower than expected! Wow. Great customer service on all accounts!
