We compared 13 electricians in Charleston on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A tripped main breaker or a dead outlet on a winter night sends people looking for electricians in Charleston fast. The businesses on this page hold just over 300 Google reviews between them, and more than 230 of those belong to Al Marino, which also does plumbing and HVAC. None of the others has reached 30 reviews, so the ratings from 4.1 up to 5.0 deserve a careful read.

Short answer: Al Marino Inc., Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical has the deepest review base, 4.1 stars from more than 230 Google reviews, though that is the lowest rating here. Heart & Home Electrical Services (South Charleston) holds 4.8 from more than 20 reviews, and Current Solutions Electrical Services holds 5.0 from more than 10. Reviewers tag ceiling-fan work at $200 to $400 and a service mast replacement at $600 to $800.

Al Marino Inc., Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical

4.1239 Google reviews

Al Marino Inc. is a Charleston company on 4th Avenue whose website lists electrical work next to plumbing, drain and sewer, heating and cooling. Google types it as an electrician, with plumbing and HVAC categories beside it. The electrical review describes technicians replacing an aging electric panel, and the reviewer noted that one of the technicians is an HVAC tech too.

What people praise

A very old electric panel replaced by two technicians who did a good job
Staff who walk customers through options and terminology
A company that can also service heating and cooling after the electrical job

Worth knowing

Electrical is one of several trades here, and only one review is about electrical work
Some reviewers say after-hours help did not match the 24/7 billing, so confirm evening coverage

Our take: It has the largest review base on the page, and its 4.1 is the lowest rating here. A reasonable call for a panel swap if you want one company for the whole house, but check how much of its recent work is electrical.

What people praise

Our take: A perfect 5.0, but it rests on a very small number of reviews and most of them are about lighting. Best matched to lighting, generator and EV charger jobs rather than older-house rewiring.

What the scorecard measures

The numbers here are public Google data pulled on the date shown. Rating is the live star average, and review volume is how many customers have rated each business compared with the others listed. Confidence blends the two, so a 5.0 from a dozen reviews carries less confidence than a 4.8 from more. Recency tracks how lately reviews are still coming in.

What electrical work costs in Charleston

None of these businesses publishes a price list, so there is no cost table. Price depends on whether the work needs a permit or utility reconnection, how old the wiring is and whether a panel or meter has to be replaced. In reviews, ceiling-fan installs were tagged at $200 to $400 and a service mast replacement at $600 to $800.
