Motorized Light Lifts
Tall ceilings are beautiful architectural details that many homeowners and business owners fall in love with – until it’s time to change a lightbulb or dust the chandelier. A motorized light lift can be installed to simplify fixture maintenance and cleaning, reducing the risk for dangerous falls. “Each year, there are more than 164,000 emergency room-treated injuries and 300 deaths in the U.S. that are caused by falls from ladders.” Eliminate the need for ladders by installing a motorized system on your lights, chandeliers, ceiling fans. We also install attic lifts for the safe transport of storage items to and from the attic.

Testimonials
We have been using Porter Electric for five years and can highly recommend them. Jeffrey the owner and his assistant Will are exceptional. They are focused, efficient, and dedicated to doing their best work. Jeffrey is also honest and transparent – two characteristics I do not compromise on.
He has replaced our attic fan and thermostat- needed for this hot summer. He replaced our master bath exhaust fan and it’s quiet and brighter. He replaced our foyer chandelier and it is just beautiful!!!! He works with all budgets and is truly THE BEST. Their hourly rate is very fair because they get work done in half the time with two people.
I recently had Jeff install a level 2 charger for my new plug-in hybrid. The work done exceeded my expectations and I am extremely satisfied with the quality and price. No surprises. I also had Jeff perform other services in my house and I am a repeat customer. I trust Jeff and value his workmanship. Highly recommend Jeff.
He was super nice. He has great work quality. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. I definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.
We have an older house, and was having issues with several outlets. Jeff and his team came promptly, assessed the issue, and was able to resolve it quickly. I would recommend Porter Electric to anyone looking for an electrician. He has over 30 years experience, and will not try to oversell you on things you don’t need. Hard to find that kind of honesty these days.
Responded to my request for an electrician immediately and came that same day. Diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly.
