Mighty Bee Electric

because they had a «big project» they couldn’t come out until a week or so. totally unacceptable because i have no heat or electricity. i don’t need the whole team, i need one person. i will never use them again. i’m not saying i should have special treatment, but when it’s something like that i feel that coming out for at least an estimate should happen before a week. never use them, if they see human life as that unimportant because of a «huge project» they’re not worth the money.

26 September 2015, we had Martin who owns Bumble Bee come out to give me an estimate for a total replacement of service panel, meter, meter base, ground, generator transfer panel etc. Took a couple weeks to get someone out but I realize it is a busy season. Anyway, the cost was a bit over $ 5000. I agreed to have the work done in writing right than and there because we were in a hurry to get the work done. So I asked when can we schedule the work. Martin told me his assistant electrician (don’t recall his name) would contact me and set things up. I thought a week or 10 days and we should hear back. Wrong. Two weeks pass, than three weeks pass and no one contacted us.
I thought they can’t be that busy, afterall they made a commitment to do the work. So I contacted them on October 23^rd by email and stated «we are still waiting to hear from somebody». A week later on October 30^th, Martin emailed me and apologized for dropping the ball, but still did not give me a date to start the work.
Mighty Bee does a lot of big commercial work according to Martin, so it appears a $ 5000 residential upgrade is not big enough to be taken too seriously. We are retired and to us this is a big project, and is a lot of money, and take it VERY seriously. What burns me is the time that we wasted waiting on this contractor to follow thru on their promise to do the work.
I can’t comment on the quality of the work they do, but I can comment on their customer service and their honoring their commitment, which is shameful.

Seems like something happened between 2012, when Mighty Bee received a couple of poor ratings, and 2014 onwards, when they receive stellar ratings.
My rating is also high due to the great work they did on a Casablanca fan. I will use them again, without hesitation.

I set an appointment for three electrical issues/​concerns. Don did an excellent job installing a ‘whole house’ surge protector. He gave me his professional opinion on the two other questions I had. One turned out not to be dangerous and the other item I can take care of myself. It’s always good to have an expert’s advice. Don, you were great, thank you.

Very happy with the final results and outcome of our project!!! Service panel upgrade and 21 can lights installed. These guys handled every issue with integrity and the end result looks and works great. I think Martin went above and beyond to make us happy. With this type of service we will gladly invite Mighty Bee back into our home for future projects.

I called Mighty Bee after I bought my first home — needed to have my mast re-​wired. Mighty Bee came out when expected and re-​wired the mast in very good time. They performed very professional work, and were very friendly!

Horrific experience. Called them in a pinch when I had electrical issues and they took full advantage. They tried to charge me $ 700 for 4 hours of work. $ 700!!! Despicable. Had no explanation of the charges. Work quality was poor. I’d quit my job and go to electrician school before calling these crooks again.

Bad experience all around. First the electrician nicked our wall when investigating an outlet he didn’t recognize, he made light of that, then a week after he had installed the Internet cable our connection went down and had to call Comcast. Some one from Comcast come out ASAP and fixed Mighty Bee’s bad installation. We called Mighty Bee Electric to ask for a refund, spoke to the owner, Martin Black who at first refused, because he said we should have called them. Well, unfortunetly the job was done wrong by them the first time, why would we want them to attempt again? Next, he mailed us a letter saying he would refund $ 60 of the $ 180. We have yet to see any refund. Bad business.
