Bessler Electric

I had Bessler/Weibolt out about a year ago to install a 240V line for my amateur radio amplifier. Before the work was scheduled, I had them come out and give me a bid of ~$500. We discussed specifically what I was looking to have done. The master electrician and apprentice showed up and didn't have some of the materials on the original bid (PVC Conduit). They had to go back to the shop to get them, adding significant time to the install. The day after the install, the state electrical inspector came out to check their work. Something wasn't up to code, and Bessler/Weibolt made a subsequent trip to my home to make changes to the install (without me being home, nor any notice of what they were intending to change). The bill showed up and was about double what I was quoted, presumably due to the techs having to go back to the shop to get the missing materials on the bid. I sent Chad an email regarding this, and never heard back. Next thing I know, I'm "past due" with Bessler/Weibolt. A second email was sent and Chad promised to correct the invoice, which he did. It was promptly paid. The one request I had when Bessler/Weibolt was out was to ensure the 240V line was not run next to any other wires as, due to the nature of the device connected, it would have a lot of RF on the line and cause issues if it inductively coupled with other lines. After Bessler/Weibolt left I kept tripping the GFI outlet on my washing machine. I ended up having to switch it to a normal outlet. Just recently, I was in my crawl space and found the new 240V line was actually crossing across a ground strap which, presumably, caused all the problems. Tonight I moved my desk away from the wall and found the 240V outlet hanging out of the wall. After disassembly, I discovered the technician tightened the screws too tight on the Old Work style box and broke off the retaining tab. The insulation is also mutilated behind the box, reducing the energy efficiency of my home. Instead of correcting the issue, the electrician left it as is. Also, the LB box installed on the exterior of my home started to pull away from the side of the house, cracking the caulk that was put in place to ensure the installation was water tight. I had to correct that as well. Overall, tons of drama for what should have been a simple install. I would not recommend Bessler/Weibolt. Update 2024 (3 years post-install) - the LB box on the side of the house also cracked and I had to replace it myself. In discussing with another electrician, long runs of PVC conduit outdoors need an expansion joint due to the temperature-caused expansion/contraction of the PVC conduit. Lesson learned.

Professional fast friendly service. We lost 1 phase of our power coming in from the electric meter, which caused our 240 volt appliances to not work and also 1/2 the breakers in the house to not work . Called Bessler Electric friday morning, and they were on site by noon and had our power up and going shortly after. They found one of our main wires underground had the rubber coating cut/sliced which caused the aluminum to oxidize and disintegrate underground. Bessler Electric will definately be my goto electrician in the north country.

I am a very high maintenance client, I know that. I give Bessler Electric my highest recommendation. Chad promptly communicated brilliantly, even after hours and on weekends. The electrician that wired our cabin, Spike, was top notch. He called me at work several times when wiring, to verify locations and make separate circuits for our range, heaters, etc. He produced great notes and a map when done. Hire these guys! best in the northland.

Highly recommend Bessler Electric!. From a small or big job they are excellent I called on Monday and the crew came out that week and they showed up on time with no delays. Resolved my electric issue quickly at a reasonable price! Top notch and professional!
