For many years, Chris and Rob at McCauley Electrical have been our trusted partners for our entire property portfolio. They have handled major projects, including complete apartment rewires and restoring an entire building after a fire, in addition to many service calls.

What truly sets them apart is that they genuinely care. While they are busy, they have always been responsive and have built a great relationship with us over the years. They are flexible, do high-quality work, and have consistently been there when we needed them most. We highly recommend them.

VFW Castleton Memorial 12 months ago
Our "Street Light" on the back of our VFW building was smoking and then blew the fuse. I contacted Chris McCauley and he came over the next morning. He knew that it was the ballast that had gone bad. I asked him to replace the old "Street Light" type light with a modern LED light that would stay on dusk to dawn instead of changing the faulty ballast. Chris got an appropriate light fixture and then arrived at the scheduled date and time to install the new light fixture. Chris had everything needed for the installation and had it installed shortly after arriving. I drove to the VFW Post at 10 PM that night and found the light on and perfectly adjusted.

We recently worked with McCauley Electrical and were beyond impressed with their professionalism, responsiveness, and quality of work. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, they were prompt, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything in detail, answered all our questions, and made sure the job was completed safely and efficiently.

It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it shows in both the results and the way they treat their customers. Whether you're upgrading service, adding fixtures, or troubleshooting a tricky issue, I wouldn’t hesitate to call McCauley Electrical again. A+ service from start to finish!
