Is a ceiling fan swap worth asking about?

Yes, and a mix of small and large jobs reads as a real business. A fan swap shows you show up clean and on time. A panel upgrade shows a reader you can be trusted with something serious.

Will customers worry about putting a name next to their house?

Some do, since a comment can hint at what is in the home. A first name and the neighborhood is enough. Ask them to describe the work and leave out the address and anything about when the family is away.

What if the comment mentions a failed inspection?

Usually keep it. A customer who writes that the first inspection flagged a spacing issue and you fixed it the next morning has shown buyers exactly how you handle a problem.

When is too soon to ask?

Before the final inspection passes. Until then the customer does not know whether the job is really done, and a comment written mid-worry reads that way. Once the sticker is on the panel, ask the same day.

Testimonials for electricians

Answer the safety fear before the first call.

A bad electrician can burn a house down, and your customers know it. They want to read that someone let you into their walls and was glad they did.

A text you can send

The text I would send after a good job

Once the power is back on and the customer has flipped a few switches themselves.

Hi Denise, it's Sam from Northgate Electric. The new subpanel is live and the garage is sorted. When you have a minute, would you type a few lines for my website about what worried you before we started? There's nothing to sign in to: [your link]

Electrician testimonial examples

The kind of thing electricians collect with Exalted. Each one is invented and labelled as an example.

Example

Rewired our whole kitchen between closing and opening so we never lost a service. Everything labeled, everything inspected, no surprises on the invoice.

Marcus T. · Restaurant owner

Example

The outlets in my daughter's bedroom kept tripping, and the first company wanted to open the ceiling. She traced it to one loose neutral in the box by the garage and tested every circuit while I stood there watching the meter.

Denise K. · Homeowner

Example

We bake for four cafes off two ovens and one old panel. He came at five in the morning to swap it before the first batch, and taped a typed breaker list inside the door.

Arturo M. · Bakery owner

Example

The inspector flagged the wiring in our 1962 house and I was ready to walk away. He told me which parts were fine and which were not, and the permit sign-off came the week he said it would.

Jonah R. · First-time buyer

The fear with an electrician is what could go wrong behind the wall, so the best comments describe something the customer could see: the labels or the typed sheet inside the door. A reader who has never opened a panel still knows what tidy looks like.

How it works

1
Share one link
You get a single link. Send it by text or email to a client whose work went well.
2
They write it, in a minute
No account and no app to download. They rate you and write a couple of lines.
3
You approve what appears
Nothing is public until you say so. Approve the good ones and they appear on your website automatically.

When to ask

After the final walkthrough, while the new panel is still visibly tidy.

The single biggest reason electricians have no testimonials is that nobody asks while the work is still fresh, not that clients are unwilling.

Questions that get a real answer

“Please leave a review” produces “great service”, which persuades nobody. Ask something specific instead:

What made you nervous about the job beforehand?
How did we leave the place at the end of each day?
Would you have us back for the next one?

Or an email

For business owners who paid for after-hours work and read email at their desk.

Subject: The walk-in cooler circuit

Hi Arturo,

The new circuit for the walk-in cooler passed inspection this morning. The panel schedule is typed and taped inside the door, so whoever opens it next will know what everything does.

I keep a page of customer comments on my website. Would you write a few sentences on how the after-hours work went for the bakery, and whether you had doubts before it began?

Owners weighing the same job read what other owners say before they phone anyone. Here is the link, which takes a few minutes: [your link]

Thanks, Sam

Where people check a electrician first

State licensing board lookup
Careful customers type your license number into the state's page before letting you near a panel. It confirms you are active. What they want to know next is whether you leave the house the way you found it.
Google Business Profile
The search that follows a flickering light or a dead outlet. Photos of finished panels and a few comments about safety get the tap on the call button.
Yelp
Renters and older homeowners still start here, and a single one-star complaint about a missed appointment can sit at the top for years.
Realtor and inspector referrals
A home inspection report lists the wiring problems, and the buyer asks the agent who to call. The agent then checks what a name looks like online before passing it on.
Your own website
A worried homeowner with a 1962 house can read the rewiring story next to your service area. Comments there stay up as long as you choose.
