Made an agreement for them to do the work. They didn't show. I called them and they said they would be there the next week. I said ok and again they never showed. Then they quit taking my calls. They caused my project to be a month behind schedule.

After leaving a phone message he didn't respond to and contacting him through Angie's List a couple of days later, Mr. Goodman finally called me back. He made an appointment to come to my house the following Thursday (I assumed, from the way he stated it). In the meantime, on Tuesday, I wrote to him via Angie's List again and asked what time to expect him on Thursday. I heard nothing. I had to rearrange a medical appointment I had for Thursday and I stayed around the house all day long waiting. He never showed up and didn't call. I wrote to him at Angie's List yet again to ask him why he didn't show up. He told me I was on his appointment list for a week from Thursday, that he usually makes his appointments a couple of weeks out. Well, he never told me that. Then he gave me the names of other electricians to call, and said he'd still come if I wanted him to...a week from now. I had smoke detectors going off two or three times during the night, scaring my dog, my autistic son, and keeping me awake for the entire night with frayed nerves. I had made known when I first talked to him that it needed addressing ASAP. I was not interested in waiting yet another week. I have no idea if he would've shown up eventually, and on time. I don't know if he would've done a good job. I have no idea how much he would've charged me. But one thing is for sure. If you are thinking of using this company, get details and then have him recite back his intentions, with dates clear. I ended up calling someone else, although none of the ones he suggested, and an electrician was at my house within an hour, took a half hour to do the work, was very professional and had a reasonable charge. THAT is who I'll call from now on, not Mr. Goodman.
Description of Work: I called Mr. Goodman with three small jobs including replacing a porch light, addressing a light that wouldn't stay lit, and replacing a smoke detector that was malfunctioning.

Mr. Goodman was punctual, completed the task in no time at all and was VERY friendly. he even helped secure the chandelier in a crate and also helped load it on the back of a truck. We highly recommend this electrician and will definitely use him again in the future!

I used G&W Electric because my father, who is a retired Power Company man, used their services to upgrade his electrical service box. They were very nice, efficient and hardworking (including crawling around in a hot and low-pitched attic), and more than met my father's standards. He was pleased. Mr. Goodman contacted me within 24 hours of submitting my Angie's List request, and came by the house the same day to determine what needed to be done and give an estimate. The work was scheduled for the following week at my convenience. The man G&W sent over led the crew that did my father's work. He was prompt, courteous, professional, and took care to clean up before he left. I am renovating my kitchen and had all the light fixtures and switches/outlets replaced, and added undercabinet lighting. Mr. Goodman dropped by around noon to check on progress and answer any questions. The job took a little longer than expected, because fishing the wire for the undercabinet lights proved to be tricky. Even so, the work was finished in one day as estimated. Since it had been some years since I've had to engage an electrician, I frankly suffered a little sticker shock, especially since I provided the lighting fixtures, but at least I knew it was being done correctly and neatly. I'd rather pay once and move on with my reno than to pay less and be dissatisfied with the results. I have no problem recommending G&W to anyone else needing residential electrical work!
Description of Work: Replaced three overhead kitchen light fixtures, hotwire installed four undercabinet lights, and replaced two wall switches and seven wall outlets.

Description of Work: Connon Goodman completely rewired our house and updated the service. They did a good job on the work, but took a little longer than I would've liked. They didn't show up every day, and weren't always very good at communicating with us. Overall though, we were very pleased.

When I first called him I expected to have to wait a long time. He was doing a very important and very large problem for Auburn University. Most people would just put my job off and get to it whenever. That was not the case at all with this Gentleman. He was kind and came over pretty quickly. He made an assessment of the problem and gave us an estimate. He was very skilled, compassionate, caring and cooperative. I really hope more people use his skills because he is one of the best I have seen. Fair, honest and he gets the job done right. What more could anyone ask. I really appreciate him and Angie's list. Thank you.
Description of Work: 80% of our home's lights and plug did not work. He restored us to full power.

During the holidays, we discovered that the line to run the electricity was not installed on one of our rental properties. This posed a problem since we would not be able to get heat into the unit in order to finish the maintenance and have heat turned on in time for the tenant. The service provider was called on a day where the temperature was not desirable for indoor work being there was no heat not to mention not being desirable for any outdoors work. Without hesitation the electricians were prompt and quick while performing the necessary tasks required. We were very pleased with the service and will definitely contact in the future.

Great! Great Started in basement, found no problem. Went to little closet upstairs which is a wiring nightmare, and traced out the problem. Very patient and extremely friendly. He is coming back to take care of the mess in the closet so it's up to code.
Description of Work: The lights in my house had been flickering for about the past week. I contacted him this morning, and he was out an hour later. Stayed until he determined the problem, and was awesome!

I didn't realize that I needed a down rod for the ceiling rod. I went to Home Depot and got one and it was too long. I had to take it back and he had other appointments and he went out of his way to come back and get it fixed. I thought that was really nice. I like that he is a hard worker. Whenever I call him he's the one that knows everything about anything electrical. He's got a lot of know how.

As I said above, I first met Connon Goodman when my solar contractor, Craig McManus, subcontracted Connon for much of the electrical connections needed when Craig installed the photovoltaic system I have. Like I also said above, I have used him extensively since then. I do not feel up to "writing a book" about it, however, since it would involve going into endless details that I feel would probably bore at least 90% of the entire population were they forced to read it. So I will be short and say that I have not had any reason to switch to another electrician since first using G & W! So there!
Description of Work: Mr. Goodman and his crew have performed quite a number of electrical-related jobs at my home, from installing ceiling fans, rewiring my kitchen, installing outdoor power outlets, and doing the electrical wiring for Affordable Solar Hot Water & Power (which I reviewed on Angie's List as well, and who installed my 6 KW Grid-Tie Solar System) - to name just some of the jobs performed. Am I (and my SO) happy with this business? If we both were not, we would not have repeatedly decided on using G & W. In other words, the answer to this question is a definite YES. As one example of the many ways that Mr. Goodman has performed work . . . we wanted better lighting in one of our rooms that - at the time - used fluorescent tube lighting. Mr. Goodman informed us that we could replace the fluorescent tubes with LED tubes (which I didn't even know were available as replacements for fluorescent tubes at that time, though I had several Edison-screw-in LED lights.). After he replaced the old lighting, I was astounded at the brightness and quality of the LEDs. To me the new lighting is even brighter and less glaring than the old fluorescent lights, but yet use less energy. Needless to say, I was very pleased. The same can be said for all the other work that G & W have performed. Occasionally, as one would expect, we've had to have them return and perform some minor refinement,such as when one of the ceiling fans that they installed had a small plastic piece fall off that wasn't secured properly, or they have had to reschedule because of some other unpredictable delay, but overall, all the jobs have gone with only very minor delays/screwups. Over the years I've had many contractors for various and sundry jobs, and I can honestly say that G & W have been one of the best ones.

I described the situation in detail, above, and I would not hire this company again, nor would I advise any friend, neighbor, etc.to hire them. I would, in fact, discourage anyone from hiring said company.
Description of Work: I experienced an electrical problem in my kitchen on 7/6/2012. The light fixture/wiring were burned out causing billowing black smoketo flow throughout my home. In fact, the smoke was so severe that I was forced to dial 911. The firemen responded promptly and"taped up" the burned wiring in my attic for an electrician to see. One fireman commented that I was lucky that the entire house hadnot burned down, and I had done well by shutting off power to the kitchen when I did.I turned to my local yellow pages looking for an insured and licensed residential electric company. As I live alone, I had no one toadvise me as to my choice. I chose G & W Electric Inc. as they met the qualifications and the rather large ad simply caught my eye.On the same date, Mr. Goodman arrived late in the day and said he would need to return the following day, Saturday, when theweather was not as hot. We set a time for his arrival. He did not arrive, but he did call to say he and his company were havingdifficulties solving electrical issues for Auburn University, and he would have to postpone his arrival to 4:00 PM that same day.He arrived at the appointed hour, corrected the problem, and was in my home approximately 55 minutes. I was presented with thebill which I paid, having no idea as to what the costs should be. I later learned from a male friend that this charge was extremelyhigh for the work. On 7/10/2012, I called Mr. Goodman and we talked about the money issue. He stated that he would be sendingme a refund check in the amount of $50.00, thus reducing the charge. I am writing this on 7/20/2012, and I have not received thepromised refund. The work was satisfactory, I assume. I've today sent a message stating much of what I had just reported.

We purchased a large flat screen TV for our living room wall. Fortunately, our daughter had done so previously so we knew the installers would not do any of the electrical work. The home theater folks took the time to explain to have an electrician perform the work we wanted which was to have the electrical outlet hidden behind the large TV panel so as not to destroy the "theater look." Based on the Angie's List reports we contacted G & W. Side Info: This is not a huge company with a giant operation but rather a competent small company. Each time we have called we have gotten the message machine and had our call promptly returned. So don't expect an immediate answer from a receptionist - an actual electrician is usually who calls back. Our installer listened to what we wanted and worked with my drawings and scribbles on the wall as where we planned on putting the TV. He went in to both the attic and the basement in order to locate a suitable power line to use and installed the receptacle exactly where it needed to be to stay hidden from view. And at $150 for time, labor, and materials to have the job done correctly was well worth it. However, what was more impressive was our second call to G & W. We had lost power in part of our garage and to the freezer in the garage. The breaker was not tripped so I figured we had a problem. Also, we had only been in this home for 6 months so we were not familiar with all the utilities yet. The electrician walked me through several steps only to find that a GFCI outlet had tripped. He explained that the GFCI protected all of the garage - not just the GFCI recepticle - and to monitor what we installed in the garage so as not to overload the protection. He had me reset the GFCI and all was reset. He then told me it wasn't worth charging to come out on a service call if he could tell me how to reset the GFCI myself. Honesty over $$$. Who knew?
Description of Work: Installation of receptacle for home theater. *** If you buy a large screen TV and pay for installation check at purchase about electrical work. The installers commonly only install the audio / video cables and do NO electrical work in the walls.
