Karl Bavolak started Bavolak Electric in 1971 and it grew quickly from repeat business and referrals. Karl' philosophy was to take the time to help the customer refine their needs, provide choices so the customer could decide what would give them the best value for their budget; and required that "all employees cheerfully, safely and legally provide installations with the highest possible level of value."

Karl's unique balance of people and technical skills were refined at the U of M where he majored in psychology with a focus in engineering. He was part of a design team at Northern Pump building gliders for the military in WWII.

Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness Used them for an AC disconnect job and they charged 3x the quoted price without any notice before beginning the work. Took months of emails for them to respond. Do not recommend Service: Socket or switch relocation

I did not use Bavolak Electric. The reason being, when I called in a panic about half the power being out to my house (it must be my issue if half the house is still working right?) they did not send out a person to "check things out" but rather asked a few questions, then told me the issue was likely with the power company. It was, and was fixed shortly thereafter. Honest, even when it loses them business, 5 stars.

From start to finish a wonderful experience! I called regarding a commercial concern on behalf of my business with minimal information on the nature of the job, other than getting a large piece of equipment hardwired.
