Powerline Electric LLC

"I didn't use him for my pool install,Thankfully. I had warranty issues with my gas heater last summer. Took 2 months to fix. Horrible communication."

"Nightmare contractor!!! Used at the recommendation of my pool company. He could have burned our house down. Showed up and did a bunch of the work and insisted on being paid in full. Mistake, I should have never paid the balance on his word. Instead we were ghosted for weeks and found out that he used wrong materials, had multiple gas leaks and could have had an explosion since he never installed a pressure valve next to the gas heater. We paid him over $10,000 and he never finished the job, leaving wires open and unprotected and costing us over an extra $1200 to fix his mistakes. The pool company is aware of his track record and still refers him. DO NOT USE THIS GUY!!!"

"Where do I begin??? This was a nightmare experience working with a contractor who doesn't complete the job, highly overpriced and extremely poor communicator. Paul Sakalauskas, owner of Powerline Electric LLC was referred to us by our pool company, Ordini's Best Fiberglass pools. We had a new pool installed on May 25, 2022 and Paul installed the electric for the pool equipment, automation, propane heater, salt generator and future electric at a cost of $9,400. He started the job June 8 and wasn't finished September 24th. He was called back 4 times and often sent a worker who was not an electrician. His voice mail is always full and he doesn't return calls. The salt generator was installed in the wrong place, the circuit breaker GFI was never installed, he kept 3 valve handles and installed the wrong size circuit breaker in the electrical panel which caused the BUS bar to burn and needed replacement (see photo). We had a local trusted electrician inspect the work and corrected the problems that Paul left us with which cost us an additional $1100. Thankfully, our house didn't burn down. I cannot stress enough, DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!!"

"Paul was FANTASTIC! We hired him through the Pool Installers company to run all the electrical, data, and ground wiring for our new pool. While we had a horrible experience with the main pool excavation/installation company (superior pools), Paul's electrical work was one of the shining beams of workmanship in the process. Also he is one of the VERY few electricians in PA who has experience with running either electrical or gas lines to the pool heater, and he is an expert with setting up data lines for the pool automation systems too. He really did the impossible and knocked the entire project in one day, worked 12 hours nonstop with his group to get the pool lights, pump, blower, heater and automation system fully wired to the subpanel, dug all the trenches needed and ran all the wires safely and buried the trenches nicely and cleaned up before they left. I just wish the pool company that hired him to do his job were as good as he was with theirs. Long story short, PAUL was fantastic and I would hire him again for any pool, indoor or outdoor electrical work. Win Win for us. Thanks Paul."

"**UPDATE** Since posting this review Powerline Electric did come out and finish the work needed. We used Powerline Electric for running electric to a pool, pool bonding, hot tub line, and running electric for a generator. It took a month post pool install to get them out as it was hard getting Paul to commit to a date. Powerline Electric came out Dec 2 2020 and did most of the work but couldn’t complete one part due to a “backordered part.” We needed the inspector to look at pool electric line and okay so he asked for full payment and said would be back following week post inspection and BO part coming in. That was now two months ago he ignores our messages or in the rare instance answers his phone says he’ll check his schedule and get back and never does. BEWARE of this contractor and do not make the mistake we did and pay in full when job isn’t 100% done. I only wish I had seen the previous review but he came recommended to us."
