Mickle Electric & Heating Inc

Mickle Electric & Heating Inc has served the Des Moines metro area for over two decades, building a reputation as a go-to contractor for both residential and light commercial electrical work. The company holds state electrical licensing and maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, supported by 34 client reviews averaging 4.0 stars. Homeowners in Des Moines, West Des Moines, and Urbandale regularly call on Mickle for panel upgrades, fixture installations, and code compliance corrections. The family-owned operation combines old-school craftsmanship with modern diagnostic tools, ensuring every project meets current NEC standards.

What distinguishes Mickle from larger electrical firms is their collaborative approach and transparent pricing. Reviewers consistently note that estimates came in significantly below competitors, sometimes by hundreds of dollars, without sacrificing work quality. The team, led by project managers Bob and Allison, takes time to explain options rather than pushing the most expensive solution. When a previous contractor left substandard basement wiring, Mickle crews corrected years of code violations during a scheduled upgrade, giving homeowners peace of mind that their electrical system was truly safe.

The technicians named in reviews include Tim, Nick, Cody, and Chad, who completed a whole-house electrical update in just two days. Another homeowner praised how the crew finished a multi-task project, including recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and antenna installation, in a single afternoon and morning, with meticulous cleanup that left no dust behind. Client IA Guy noted that Mickle has handled everything from simple fixture swaps to 200-amp service upgrades, adapting their approach based on homeowner input on aesthetics and functionality.
