To connect with customers, Baker Electric provides the same attention to detail on all projects, no matter how large or small. While the high-profile projects are on the client list, much of Baker Electric's day-to-day work involves maintaining existing electrical systems - with both preventive maintenance and repair.Ongoing service work has always been part of the client services mix. Baker Electric's service department provides non-stop 24-hour service, every day of the week. Your call will be answered by one of our service employees, not a machine or answering service. We offer extensive warehousing of job supplies, and highly qualified, friendly technicians.

Energy Savings
Report
Baker Electric outfitted the very FIRST LEED-certified convenience store in the country for Krause-Gentle Kum & Go. Why is this so important? LEED (or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification means the store will save tens of thousands of dollars over time, and save energy all the while.

Commercial
Report
Right around sunset, passengers flying into metro Des Moines could play a great game of connect-the-dots with projects powered by Baker Electric. But Founder Gene Baker would likely dismiss such talk, and focus instead on this experience: Few things in life give me more satisfaction than hearing Customers tell me how well they were treated by Baker Electric people.

On August 10, huge storm hit and it seemed that oat of Des Moines was dark! Trees were down everywhere taking out power and the ease of transportation. Being new to the area, I wasn't sure who to call when MidAmerican told me that I'd need an electrician before my service could be restored. My decision was made quickly when I looked around the Area and saw that many locals had Baker Electric vans driving to their rescue.
There is no doubt that this will be my go to for the future. From the beginning, I was treated as a priority although they were swamped. I was impressed with how quickly they could schedule me in and then my two electricians came early to check the situation to ensure they'd have the parts I'd need. Brian and Ted left but returned quickly and finished an entire day score I was scheduled. Brian and Ted were friendly and quite entertaining, as well as efficient. Although the storm was a disaster, Maker Electric is an amazing job by making an uncomfortable situation tolerable!

My wife and I just moved to new house. We had used Baker Electric in past with good results. We needed a new cable ran from outside to indoors for internet reasons. Baker Electric refused to see us because my wife and I "work in a hospital" and they are afraid of Corona Virus. No one in our family is sick! To be honest I think they just didn't want to work. Trying someone else.
