Critical: Punctuality Was a no show for a scheduled electrical repair i used them for in the past for a real estate transaction (adding on a circuit for electric baseboard). I had to call and remind them of their prior commitment. I also had a negative experience the 2nd time i used them.

Josh Mangum is an excellent project manager! Professional and knowledgeable electrician. Worked with Idaho Power to hookup new power to our shop. He explained the process, and kept us informed until the project was completed. Tri State has skilled electricians and I would recommend them for any electrical projects big or small!

Tri-State Electric showed up Johnny On The Spot when a tree knocked down our mast. Within an hour of calling they were on site. With the nightmare heat outside building and the generator driving the neighbors crazy this kind of response is what we needed. They had it fixed and ready for inspection in no time. Service: General repairs

Want to save some money and do a lot of the work yourself and just have them do the actual hooking up to the electricity part for you? Too bad. They are very interested in doing your project until you mention you want to do a lot of the work to save money. They go from enthusiastic to sounding like they want to make an excuse to get off the phone so they don't have to talk to you anymore. If you are only interested in big or complete projects then say that, but don't make me feel like I'm worthless for wanting to save money.

We have used Tri State Electric for a variety of our businesses needs, beginning with electrical work performed during our tenant improvement, light fixture checks/repairs, grounding checks etc. They are quick to respond and have a worker onsite. Have always been helpful and professional. Will continue to use them every time!

I witnessed one of your vans purposely cutting off another vehicle almost causing a collision at 8:57 this morning on the highway. Customer service goes way beyond than just serving customers. There is certain etiquettes that a company must keep at all times. Please inform your drivers. Don't be rude

The folks at Tri State are outstanding. We Project Manage remotely for very demanding customers and using Tri State takes a lot of the typical challenges away. Having used hundreds of electricians around the country I can attest to the fact that these guys are among the very best. Prompt service, clear communication, professional techs and fair pricing.

I recently spent a month without a dryer, meaning I had the expense of drying my laundry at a laundromat and bringing it home smelling like either the cleaning agent they use on the dryers or something else the nature of which I don't even want to think about. It took repeated visits from dryer warranty repairmen before they figured out the dryer's outlet was only putting out half the required voltage.

My landlord called Tri State on Friday to give them permission to work on the house and arrange the billing details. I heard from Derrick with Tri State by 11:00 Monday, and expected him to schedule a visit for later in the week. I was thrilled when he said he was available then and could be at my house in about 20 minutes if I was free. When he arrived, Derrick didn't have tunnel vision, intending to fix only the immediate problem that caused my dryer to lose power.

He had to make an educated guess as to where the wiring was spliced in the wall as appliances had been moved from their original locations before I moved in. Happily, the first cut Derrick made into my wall uncovered the problem area. He opened it up and discovered there had been - yikes - an electrical fire that caused the short. His first order of business was to remove anything with fire damage and replace it, but he didn't stop there.

He evaluated the wiring and my breaker box and everything in between, and discovered that a handful of circuits in the house were getting more power from the breaker than they could handle, so he throttled the breaker where necessary. He then took the time to listen to my tales of electrical oddities I've noticed since moving in, and gave me an honest opinion on the level of danger they represent (none), which gave me significant peace of mind. Derrick was in and out of my house, leaving it as clean as he found it, in just three hours. Overall, Tri State was timely, efficient, and utterly professional. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs electrical work done.

We had an outstanding experience with this company. Our rental property was having multiple problems with baseboard heaters so we called Tri-State who sent out a technician named Derrick Kamper. This is the type of individual you do not have a problem with working in your home when you are not there. He was knowledgeable, professional, and effective in getting our problems solved.

I would highly recommend using them in fixing any commercial or residential needs. This company appears to employee journeymen who hold themselves to the highest standards in the industry and who when needed can execute their skills with an unequalled professional demeanor that would make any company exceptionally proud to call them as their own

I made an appointment for 2:30. At 4:00, I called to inquire whether they planned to come or not. The woman on the phone said she would contact her foreman and find out what the problem was. It's now 5:00 and I haven't heard anything.
