What John does
From full rewires to the odd jobs nobody else takes
Every job gets a straight estimate up front. If it comes in under, the price comes down with it. One customer’s two-day quote turned into one day of work, and the bill was adjusted to match.
Rewiring, old and new
Whole-home rewiring, including older farmhouses and properties where the wiring has seen better days. Neat runs, clean finishes, everything brought up to standard.
EV charger installation
Tesla and other EV fast chargers installed in your garage, fully compliant and done right from the first cable to the final inspection.
Panels and service work
Breaker panel installs, sub-panels and service entrance work, from basement boxes to outdoor meter mains.
Lighting installation
Recessed LED lighting for living rooms and offices, right up to statement pieces like sky-panel ceilings that people remember.
Pool and spa hookups
Dedicated outlets and GFCI disconnects for pool pumps, heaters and hot tubs, weatherproofed and protected the way code demands.
Repairs, big and small
No job too odd. John has rewired sofas and fixed lift chair remotes. If it has a wire in it, it can probably be fixed.
Real jobs, real photos

5.0 stars. All 34 of them.
Straight from the Google listing, word for word.
“We had Otto's electric add new wiring in our old farmhouse. He did an amazing job! We had someone else a few years prior to do the same sort of work that we weren't happy with at all. The work from Otto's was a night and day difference! And his pricing is very reasonable!”
“He gave us a fair estimate for the installation of additional electrical outlets for the hookup of our pool pump and heater. He estimated it to be completed in two days and it was done in one day, with the cost adjusted for based on that. His work was very professional and neat and I barely knew he was at the house.”
“John Otto recently installed a Tesla fast charger in my garage, and I couldn't be more impressed. He was timely, meticulous, and paid close attention to every detail. It's rare to find someone who takes such pride in their work. Highly recommend Otto's Electric for any EV or residential electrical needs.”
“I will tell you every 5 star review is spot on, and like one other person said I would give him 10 stars if it was possible! He is definitely the only electrician I will call or recommend from now on. Just read all his reviews, and you'll understand.”
