What Our Customers Are Saying

By choosing Kalahari Electrical Services, you’re opting for a company with a proven track record of excellence, a commitment to customer satisfaction, and the expertise to handle any electrical project, big or small.

We have used several other companies but will not ever again.

We received a bad inspection report for our panel when we were trying to sell our home. Kalahari came in and went over the report. We looked over and signed a moderately priced quote. Then they set off to do the work to tidy up the panel a bit and swap out breakers. Once into it they decide they would rewire the whole thing. They did not charge extra and were still in and out fast. We have used several other companies but will not ever again.

– Michael C.

He came out the same day/stayed until midnight to get it fixed.

Excellent customer service is hard to find these days; however, Jan has it down to an art form. I had company in from out of town during the 105 degree days and he came out the same day/stayed until midnight to get it fixed and he was leaving for vacation the next day…not to mention the rates were very reasonable. I will never use another electrician. Jan far exceeded my expectations and that is saying a lot. He even called to follow-up and make sure there were no issues. FIRST CLASS SERVICE!
 

– Satisfied Customer

Where have these guys been all my life?

Read all the reviews that have been written and multiply by 2. When a contractor shows up to your house with tools in one hand and a vacuum cleaner in the other you need not look any further. Jan and Company “is the man” Not to bore you with details but we had a very tricky ART piece to install which required artistic and technical aspects, Kalahari had both. Where have these guys been all my life?
 

– Michael C.

I will continue to use them because of his professionalism and value.

I have used Kalahari Electrical a number of times over the years. Jan has replaced a stove, moved a doorbell, added kitchen lighting and most recently put in recessed lighting. I will continue to use them because of his professionalism and value. Highly recommend.
– Satisfied Customer

I would definitely use again.

I found Kalahari Electrical Services from a list of people that my architect handed to me when I needed work done on my previous home, just before we sold it. Jan arrived on time, completed his work without issue, and paid the price I was quoted. I would definitely use again and recommend to everyone.
– Satisfied Customer

They are my go-to electricians.

I have used them many times and they are great. Reliable, knowledgeable, courteous and easy to work with. They are my go-to electricians. Always available and always there when you are counting on them.
– Paola J.

Gave me an honest assessment of my situation

Joe was very professional, friendly, prompt, and fast. He came out the next day and gave me an honest assessment of my situation and what it would take to relocate a GFCI outlet on my backsplash. I will call them again when I am ready to improve my kitchen lighting and for any other electrical work I might have.
– Matthew B.

I am extremely satisfied with the work that they did.

I had several companies come out and submit bids on a major upgrade project. Kalahari was the only one that I felt comfortable with — pricewise and workwise. Their estimate was very thorough where others left areas very vague and generalized but slapped with a large cost to it. Months into their upgrade, I am extremely satisfied with the work that they did. The owners, Jan and Joe, are excellent and efficient professionals, and I would definitely recommend their work to anyone.
