This isn’t just a win for our team; it’s a win for every homeowner and business owner from Portland to Rockland who has trusted us with their wiring, their lighting, and their safety.

What is the "Best of the 207"?

If you aren’t familiar with it, the Best of the 207 is a community-driven awards program that highlights the absolute best businesses in Maine. The "207" represents our entire state, and these awards are special because they aren't decided by a small panel of judges behind closed doors. They are decided by you.

Being voted the best means that the people we serve: our neighbors: recognize the hard work, honesty, and quality we bring to every job. Whether we were installing a new EV charger in your garage or helping you stay cool with mini-splits, your support helped us reach this milestone.

Why Our Customers Voted for Us

We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what makes Downeast Electrical Services stand out. When we talk to our customers, a few themes keep coming up. Here is why we believe we were voted the Best Electrician in Maine:

1. We Keep it Simple

Electrical work can be complicated. Between volts, amps, circuit breakers, and local building codes, it’s easy for homeowners to feel overwhelmed. Our brand tone is "simple" for a reason. We believe in clear communication. We don’t use confusing jargon to sound smart; we use plain English to make sure you understand exactly what’s happening with your home’s electrical system.

From the moment you check out what to expect when working with us, you’ll see that we value your time and your property.

3. Expertise Across the Board

Whether it’s a historic home in Portland that needs a delicate touch or a modern new build in Rockland requiring the latest smart home integration, our team has the skills. We are experts in:

• Residential and Commercial Wiring: Keeping the lights on and the power flowing safely.

Leading the Way in Energy Efficiency

One reason we believe we’ve gained so much traction in the 207 is our focus on the future. Maine is changing, and so is the way we use energy. We’ve become specialists in technologies that save our customers money and help the environment.

Mini-Splits: Maine’s Favorite Way to Heat and Cool

In 2026, mini-splits are more popular than ever. They offer incredible efficiency, which is vital given our Maine winters and increasingly humid summers. If you’ve been thinking about making the switch, you can learn more about our process and even contact us specifically for mini-splits.

Electric Vehicle Charging

With more Mainers switching to electric vehicles, the demand for reliable home charging has skyrocketed. We make the process of installing an EV charger seamless and hassle-free. No more hunting for a public charging station: wake up every morning to a fully charged vehicle right in your own driveway.

Transparent Pricing and Simple Booking

We know that one of the biggest stressors when hiring a contractor is the "unknown." How much will it cost? How do I book an appointment?

We’ve worked hard to take the mystery out of the process. You can view our pricing online so you have a clear idea of what to expect before we even arrive. Ready to get started? Our contact page is designed to get you the help you need fast.
