What homeowners say
Vesta’s read
Competitive Electric earns its name twice over — once on price and once on the thing homeowners actually struggle to find: an electrician who picks up and shows up. Reviewer after reviewer describes Joe Gravesen as the only one to call back, the one willing to show up on a weekend, or at two days' notice, and the one whose estimate was both the lowest and the most honest of the bunch. The work is squarely modern: Tesla and EV charger installs, subpanels and NEMA outlets, recessed lighting, generator receptacles, and a real gift for chasing down a mystery short or a breaker that won't stop tripping. Nothing critical surfaced even reading worst-first. The name checks out twice — estimates that come in lowest and honest, and a phone that actually gets answered.
Summarized by Vesta from public reviews · analyzed July 2026 — Vesta’s own wording, not the business’s, and never a copy of any single review.
What they’re known for
Responsive when others aren't
Repeatedly the only electrician to call back, and willing to come on a Sunday or with two days' notice for urgent work.
EV chargers & troubleshooting
Clean Tesla Wall Connector and EV installs, plus a knack for tracing shorts and tripping breakers to their source.
Best honest price
Across multiple bids, customers found Joe's the lowest and most straightforward estimate.
What to check before you hire
Vesta’s plain checklist for electricians. General guidance about the trade — not a claim about this business.
Confirm the CT license and the permit
Electrical work runs under a Connecticut E-class license, and most jobs need a permit and inspection. Both protect your home and your insurance.
Don't shop on price alone
The cheapest panel swap or rewire can skip grounding, AFCI/GFCI protection, or proper load math. Ask exactly what is included to code.
Name the scope
Panel size in amps, circuits added, fixture vs. rough-in work, and who patches the walls should all be written down before work begins.
Match the pro to specialty work
EV chargers, generators, and solar tie-ins each have their own requirements. Confirm hands-on experience with your specific job.
