Thomas Electrical Solutions

“If you’ve got an electrical problem, we’ll find a solution for it.”

 

When Dewayne and Christie Thomas opened Thomas Electrical Solutions (TES) eight years ago, they set a clear goal: To be the No. 1 choice for the highest quality electricians in Canton and the surrounding area.

Achieving that goal meant both keeping the company small to ensure that personalized care and expertise could be guaranteed and treating each job, large or small, as if it was the only one.

A licensed master electrician with more than 20 years of experience, Dewayne partners with his brother-in-law Mike Stewart, who has been in the field for over 25 years. Dewayne credits Mike not only with putting him on the path to becoming an electrician but also with being key to the company’s success since its 2013 opening. The partners are assisted by electrician apprentice Chase Carrigan. Christie manages the office and makes sure every customer receives speedy and personal attention.

“When you call us, you get me, Mike, and Chase,” Dewayne said. “You don’t get sub crews. When you hire us, you get 40 years of experience. If you have a ceiling fan or chandelier project that needs more than one person, you’ll get two of us.”

 

Every Job Is Custom

 

Dewayne says there’s no cookie-cutter approach to delivering top-notch service. “We don’t have a standard price list because every job is custom. Every house is a different situation. There are so many variations, even in ceiling fans, it’s not a one-price-fits-all.”

That individualized attention starts with the client’s first conversation with Christie.

“We want to talk to you,” said Dewayne. “Texts and emails work, but we like to speak to people and get to know our customers.”

While quickly returning calls, Christie strives to put clients at ease about having electrical work done.

“I talk to them, find out how long they’ve had the house,” she said. “I try to get to know them and make them feel comfortable about having someone they don’t know come into their home.”

That same commitment to personalized treatment is seen when work begins.

 

Every Job Matters — From Complete Rewiring to Switching Light Fixtures

 

“We strive to treat each customer’s job as if it were our only one,” Dewayne said. “If you’ve got an electrical problem, we’ll find a solution for it.”

Specializing in residential service, Dewayne, Mike, and Chase are experts in the challenges of both old and new houses, big and small projects. They’ll run wire from a house to a new barn, wire a basement or a remodel, upgrade a breaker panel, or wire a portable generator. They also handle smaller jobs such as switching light fixtures and adding outlets or under-cabinet lighting.

“We work in old houses where you can’t pull wire through wood,” Dewayne said. “We work in new houses where the customer just wants an outlet over the fireplace for a television. Every job is different.”

 

Honesty Matters — No Upselling

 

No matter the job, Dewayne assures customers that they’re getting the service they need at a fair price.

“We will not upsell you,” Dewayne assured. “It’s all about being honest with people. If you call us for something, we’ll do that. If we see something wrong, we’ll tell you, but we don’t find problems that don’t exist. We’re not going to try and make a month’s salary off one customer. When I go to bed at night, I want to lay my head on the pillow with a clear conscience.”

Lifelong Canton residents who were sweethearts at Cherokee HS, Dewayne and Christie are youth leaders at Oakdale Baptist Church, and Dewayne is a deacon. They believe their business is just one more way they serve their community.

“I enjoy talking to people. I love seeing different people every day. I get to go into people’s homes, find out about their children, their grandchildren, where they came from, and solve their electrical needs. I’ve had an opportunity to meet over 2,000 people in the last eight years. God has blessed me to be able to do this and provide opportunities I wouldn’t have had otherwise,” Dewayne said.
