Donna, Brad, Josh and Will did an outstanding job! They were punctual, highly professional, and delivered exceptional work. I highly recommend their services.

Salvador Alarcon

Josh did an excellent job installing my new home EV charger. He was professional, efficient, and made sure everything was set up perfectly. I really appreciated how clearly he explained the process and walked me through how to use the charger safely. It’s great to have someone so knowledgeable and friendly handle the job. Highly recommend his services!

Gessin Pineda

Very professional company they had their representative Josh come install our EV charger. Josh was very meticulous and neat while installing the charger. Great service and highly recommended.

Gabriel Gabarron

The work performed at my residence by John and Johnny was not an easy task. Once the wall was opened up to upgrade the power to 200 amp service the details of the unexpected were revealed. With skill, patience, and professional approach to the work involved, they teamed up and presented work that was well done. Thank you, Fischer Electric, for the capable electricians you sent to perform this work. We still have outside work that needs to be performed and certainly John and Johnny are the techs to get it done.

Charles Schweiger

Brad and Donna were attentive and responsive. Josh did a great job installing. He was on time, quick and clean. He made sure the charger worked properly and explained how and when to use it. And I never saw such an organized truck! 😊

Backup Power Built to Keep You Running

Reliable protection for homes, small businesses, and commercial facilities.

Generators aren’t just for emergencies—they’re for peace of mind. Our team installs systems that activate the moment the grid fails, keeping essentials like refrigeration, lighting, data centers, and security systems powered without delay.

Every installation starts with a clear conversation about what you want to keep running. From there, we calculate the right capacity, coordinate with your utility company or fuel provider, and set up your system for long-term performance.

Our electricians also take into account future needs like EV chargers, HVAC expansions, or commercial equipment growth. When the next storm hits—or the power just goes out unexpectedly—you won’t be left in the dark.
