Best Surge Protection Panel Upgrade in Denver CO
We had a very poor overall experience with Mighty Bee and I would not be able to recommend them based on this experience. I want to be fair to Mighty Bee that most of our issues came with what ended up being horrible customer service and follow up and not all work related. I was treated with defensiveness and outright contempt by Martin across multiple emails and phone calls after the service. I'm not overly sensitive, but I can't think of another experience where I was treated as the enemy simply by questioning the finished product which I was not happy with and had multiple code violations. We purchased an electrical panel upgrade for an older home we bought in Arvada that had a 1960s junction box. Things were fine in terms of initial quote and appointment set up. I got back from travel and the panel was upgraded and as he left the house he mentioned to me in passing he could upgrade my kitchen to GFI (which will be required for a house this old). But that was the last I heard from Might Bee. They admitted later that they flat out forgot to follow up not only with me to confirm everything went well but with the city for the required inspection. But that was only because I followed up a few weeks later after my GC informed me that most of what Mighty Bee completed would have to be redone and also that much of it was not to current code. I raised this with Mighty Bee and this is when things went south.
Again to be fair to Might Bee, a panel upgrade seems to be quite an arbitrary service based on what electrician you work with. I would highly recommend you do thorough research on not only what your home will need in total but what exactly is covered in the cost of a panel upgrade. Costs clearly vary based on inclusions. From my side of things and also 2 separate electricians (one who is simply my next door neighbor and had no financial skin in the game), Mighty Bee did the absolute minimum required in a box upgrade. The result was circuits were shared where they would normally (and now have been by another electrician) split so that half of the house didn't run on a double barred circuit. Things like running dryer lines separately are also required by current code, and by simply asking a few probing questions to the customer the electrician would should able to make recommendations about required upgrades, but genuinely upsell their own service. I got none of this from Might Bee. But when I questioned the work completed and cited advice from these other electricians, Martin at Mighty Bee reacted with anger and defensiveness, accusing the electricians of sabotaging his work, and calling them idiots and other accusations about trying to bad mouth him. Once again, one of the electricians was just a neighbor checking out our remodel. I didn't even ask him specifically, he took a look at the new box and brought up 5+ code violations and questions as to why Mighty Bee would have chosen to leave a new panel in that state given we were doing a full remodel and almost certainly would have a lot more electrical changes needed. As it turned out we did have to completely update the homes electrical set up. This meant that the work Mighty Bee completed has now been completely updated and we wasted $3,300 on the panel upgrade and had to deal with a complete jerk in Martin from Might Bee. To add insult to injury we told Mighty Bee we didn't want to have have them come back and requested a refund for the $370 to source a license (free and done online) and inspection, which he did over 3 weeks after the service, and only after I notified them. I requested a refund for that portion of the bill, to which he flatly refused with yet another contentious and rude email.
Once again, I want to say that inherently Mighty Bee's panel upgrade wasn't wrong. But again it was clearly the MINIMUM needed. Combine that with the responses we dealt with from Martin make it impossible for us to recommend Mighty bee.

I reached out to Andre via a recommendation. Andre was professional, communicative and quick!
I hired him to put a 240v in my garage for an electric vehicle. He came out for a quick quote, and got me on the schedule a few days later. He was fairly priced and I wouod definitely recommend him to my friends

Very friendly customer service from Cassie in the office when appointment made to address some inspection items for our home sale. A very next day appointment was available for service. Cody was our technician and was amazingly COMPETENT, skilled, prompt, friendly, and professional. He was able to address and resolve all of our electrical repair needs in one service visit. Cody's knowledge and skill made the service call stress free and the overall process worth every penny spent!

I would give them ZERO stars but that isn't t an option! Devin completed the following job (in his own words on the invoice) upgrade main electrical service meaning he installed a new service and panel for a fix and flip property that one of my clients purchased. My client was so excited to move into his first home and loved everything about it until he went to do laundry and the dryer outlet didn't work. A bit frustrating, especially considering the electrical panel was BRAND NEW. I called and asked Current Electric Services to go over and see what the issue was. When Devin arrived he told my client and myself that he didn't put 220 in for the dryer that he had only put 220 in for the stove/range?! I asked him why he didn't put it in and he went into explanation mode and said that the old panel was double tapped and they had been running the dryer and the stove/oven on the same 220. I told him I didn't really care about the condition of the old panel, he was contracted and paid to put in a new panel and ensure that everything was working properly, which he neglected to do. He then had the audacity to tell my clients father and me that he wanted over $300 to add the 220 for the dryer! He was paid $3,695 to put in a new panel (which is outrageous anyway) and didn't put 220 in for the dryer. Who would put in a new panel and not include 220 for a dryer? He had an opportunity to do the right thing and correct his error and instead tried to stick it to my client. Totally unethical and unprofessional. Consumer beware!

As new homeowners of an old home, the process to keep things running smoothly can sometimes seem a bit daunting. However, Kory made the process of fixing up our home's electrical so simple and straightforward. Kory was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and, within just a few days, visited our property to provide an accurate quote for the work we needed done. In performing the work, Kory was on-time, efficient, and a true professional through all interactions. We will undoubtedly continue to reach out to Sphere Electric for our home's future electrical needs.
