Westbrook Electric Company Puts Its Owner on Every Job

Goodnow Electric, an electrical contracting company based in Westbrook, says the same Master Electrician who quotes a job also shows up to do the work, rather than assigning it to a subcontractor, according to its website. The company holds Maine Master Electrician license No. MS60021971 and advertises free written estimates before any job begins, along with around-the-clock emergency service for issues such as sparking outlets, dead panels and storm damage, which the site says the owner personally answers at any hour. Its website lists a rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars from 87 Google reviews.

From Panel Upgrades to Solar

The company's listed services run from full home wiring, remodel electrical and kitchen circuits to panel upgrades, generator installation with automatic transfer switches, and electric vehicle charger setup, according to its website. It also installs smart home systems, residential and commercial solar panels, and lighting ranging from recessed fixtures to outdoor lighting and ceiling fans. On the commercial side, the site describes work for restaurants, offices, retail spaces and warehouses, including kitchen hood wiring, three-phase power and tenant buildouts.

Explaining the Work to Homeowners

Goodnow Electric's website also publishes a set of guides aimed at homeowners, according to the site. Listed topics include why older Southern Maine homes outgrow a 100-amp electrical panel, how to size a generator for a home, and what to expect when installing an EV charger. Other guides cover the payback on switching to LED lighting, which smart-home wiring is worth installing in Maine, and how to plan electrical work for a new home build.

Serving Southern Maine

The company says it serves Biddeford, Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth, Gorham, Portland, Saco, Scarborough, South Portland, Westbrook and Windham, according to its website. It is also hiring licensed electricians and apprentices to join its crew, the site says, directing interested applicants to its careers page.
