My experience with Winkel's Electric reminded me of what customer service was years ago. Larry was especially great and I really appreciated him taking the time to explain some of the electrical topics in-depth regarding GFCI outlets/code regulations and well beyond my multimeter 101 usage/knowledge. I'll definitely feel beyond comfortable calling Winkel's for my future electrical needs.

Had some damage to a service line from a house to a pool shed. Was able to get a hold of them and have it repaired within 24 hours. I know that can't always be the case but they were extremely helpful in a tight situation. Will aquire their service again if needed. Everyone I spoke to on their team was helpful. Keep up the good work!
