I needed an electrician for my kitchen remodel when we found the wires had been placed over the ceiling when the soffit was removed. They completely rewired my kitchen, added outlets, moved outlets, and installed a light fixture. They came out within about a day. The guy was super knowledgeable and finished that same day. I was really impressed! The cost was very reasonable. I will be recommending this company to my family and friends.

Thompson electric has fine electricians that are good at their job, reasonable and quick! Thankyou for another job well done. For example our light fixture had a short. The electrician did not stop with a quick fix but tested and redid every connection.

We were needing a quality camera system for our building. Wanting to buy local we obtained 3 different bids from 3 local security camera companys. We had used TI's web to inquire about their systems. Jason Seitzinger was prompt and professional with the presentation of their system. We received a quote in a timely fashion and all the details were explained well.

The install crew showed up on time (much appreciated!), were fast, efficient, and Wade explained the software and how to use the cameras. On one hand, it was almost information overload but on the other it was nice knowing we are dealing with a company who knows their product. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed with these folks. Much thanks to Jason, Wade, and Wade's helper! - Nick Knox @ Knova's Carpets, Inc.

We had a surprise inspection from OSHA today and passed with flying colors. (No Violations) That is something that is very rare, but shows the quality of work we are all doing here.

I cannot tell you what a difference this work has made to the house and our lives! Great job! Shannon is one of the most professional people we've ever had the pleasure to meet-not to mention a very pleasant person and really cares about getting the job right! (I hope Santa puts a little extra in his stocking this year!)

My wife and I want to send Thompson Electric, and especially Dave, a mighty huge Thank you for completing the wiring in our new barn and pump house in such a professional manner. He went the extra mile. We are very pleased with his work. Having power to the barn and pump house have been a tremendous help.

The Vice President called and then came to our home to apologize that they installed a wrong plug and didn't sort out the issue sooner. My favorite part was that he said sorry, it was his fault, that he was going to use it as a training opportunity in his upcoming staff meeting, and he wanted to be sure we got a good welcome to Sioux City. I'm rewriting my review from 1 star to 4 stars. Their reputation matters to this family owned business. Impressive.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Thompson Electric. I have been involved with projects all over the world and, from an electrical standpoint, the Sioux City Foundry project was the smoothest. The entire process from quoting to completion has set a new standard for me to judge all other electrical contractors.
