We just had Root Electric install our Tesla Wall Connector at our home here in Stafford and I honestly could not be happier with how it turned out. From the first phone call to the final walkthrough, everything felt smooth and professional. They showed up on time, explained exactly what they were doing, and made sure the installation was clean and done right. You can tell they take pride in their work. The charger looks great on the wall and works perfectly. It is so nice waking up every morning with a full charge. What I appreciated most was how easy they made the whole process. No stress, no surprises, just solid work and good communication the entire time. If you are thinking about installing a Tesla charger at home, I would absolutely recommend Root Electric. Great experience all around.

Root Electric installed several new internet cable lines and helped identify and connect our existing cables since we only had one working hard line in the house. The team was professional, communicative, and efficient. When we had a small issue afterward, they responded quickly and fixed it right away. Excellent service—we’ll definitely use them again.

We would like to commend Root Electric and Alexander Hansohn, our technician, in particular, for the work done at our home. Root Electric persisted finding a solution to a complex problem. Alex followed through and did research on his own time to fix the issue. We appreciate Mr. Root and Mary for their responsive communication as well. We will definitely use this company again in the future.

I have used Root Electric for one large job and several small ones. I recommend the firm highly. Bill Root often calls customers personally. They are efficient, adhere to a schedule, courteous and prices are reasonable. Andy has done a great job for me recently, including an emergency call which prevented some potentially serious damage. First class operation

I had Root Electric install recessed lighting in my living room and ceiling fans in 3 bedrooms. I am extremely happy about the experience from start to finish. I called several local electricians to get quotes and Root had the best customer service as well as competitive pricing. When Noah came out to do the estimate I didn't get the sense that he wanted to get out as quickly as possible. Rather, he took the time to answer questions and he would go into detail as needed. When the guys showed up to do the work they were clean and courteous and they worked fast. You can't ask for anything more! I will definitely be using Root for my future electrical needs.
