Very impressed. They came out and quickly solved multiple issues I had. The electrician was very professional and knowledgeable. I definitely feel I “got my moneys worth”, which is becoming more rare nowadays. I would recommend this company 100%.

Had Madsen change out an old unsafe panel. They took care of permits, power company scheduling and inspection as well. Very competitive price. They even beat the non-union shops prices. Electrician showed up right on time and completed in 1 day including inspection. Very happy with Seth and his team. Will use again and recommend to others.

GREAT EXPERIENCE. when the lights go out it can be scary! Madsen came to my rescue as quickly as i could ask for. And the guys who came were knowledgeable, informative, friendly, kind. Things got done quickly and all is well again. Thank you, Jonah and team.

So I haven’t had work done, but I have had the opportunity to deal with Madsen Electric. I got into a small fender bender with one of their drivers and he was the nicest gentleman. The process has been smooth with no questions from Madsens. I will definitely use them and refer them to anyone with electrical needs.

The journeyman came and was at our house for a little over an hour - we were very happy with the work and he was very pleasant. He went out to his vehicle to fill out the paperwork afterwards… but quickly came inside to let us know he had left the paperwork behind and just to expect the bill in the coming weeks - we had no estimate or idea of what the bill would be. Fast forward two weeks and we get a bill that shows…
