.We were in the process of installing a new window upstairs and found the the previous owner had done some wiring that was completely faulty. I called George on a Saturday, he called me back on the same day. He told me that he was totally booked for the next 2 weeks, but he would do what he could to fit us it. To our surprise he called us on Monday and came out and did the work. We really appreciated that he worked us into his schedule so quickly. Very experienced, and good work. Would recommend

I am mainly writing this review because of the review right below me. I spoke with George today to get a quote for an upgraded electrical panel. He called back right away and apologized because he was just finishing up a job and is booked out for 3 weeks. I have no problem waiting as I want good service. I feel that this previous poster is either another electrician lowering the reviews of competitions. If you click on their profile- they are a new member and only have 2 F reviews on other electricians. Its a little suspicious to me. If he is not an electrician, he must be part of the millennial generation with his sense of entitlement and narcissism. I will update this review when I do receive a quote and more information

Excellent. George showed up a bit early, He managed to put the wire to my new LED lights behind the wall without busting open a good part of the wall (which I thought he had to do, but he knew how to get around that). Everything he did works perfectly. A real nice guy, too. I will use him again.
Description of Work: A string of jobs - bury a wire within a wall to LED lights that I added to our kitchen; install new light fixture in the garage; check on operation of ceiling fan; also did a few minor things, like replace the electrical cord on the dryer.

I SPOKE WITH NANCY AND GEORGE ABOUT INSTALLING A NEW CEILING FAN FOR MY BEDROOM. HE DIDN'T OFFER TO COME OUT TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE BUT DID GIVE ME ONE OVER THE PHONE. THE COST OF THE FAN I CHOSE WAS LESS THAN $100 (SMALL ROOM), SO I COULDN'T JUSTIFY $500 TO INSTALL IT. IN THE END, THE COMPANY WHO IS GOING TO SCRAPE MY ACOUSTIC CEILINGS HAS AN ELECTRICIAN HE WORKS WITH WHO WILL INSTALL IT FOR LESS THAN HALF OF GEORGE'S ESTIMATE.

the estimate that I gave you over the phone of approximately $500.00 was because there is no attic access ( which means I have to repair the dry wall) and you requested a switch leg. I am an electrical contractor and not a handyman. and God forbid if you have problem in the future, anything happens your insurance company will not pay for any damage perform by a non electrical contractor. All my works are guaranteed and my price is fare. Thank you, George

After a circuit overloaded, resulting in an exploded outlet, sparks, much smoke, and a visit from the fire department, I called George, who has become my go-to electrician. Although it was late Sunday afternoon, George arrived within an hour of my call. He diagnosed the problem and made the necessary repair. He also went beyond the call of duty by repairing the drywall that had been removed by the firemen as they checked for fire in the wall. I've used George several times in the past. He's earned his Angie's list A rating! He knows what he's doing, he's prompt, he's careful, he always has the needed parts and tools, and he cleans up after the job is done. His price is very reasonable. I'd trust him with any electrical job, small or large.

George arrived on time despite bad weather conditions. He is obviously very experienced and well versed in his trade. He is friendly and respectful. All very positive traits. My job consisted of adding a switch and running new wires about 5-6 ft to add a new light in a closet, as well as patching up the drywall that needed to be cut. George arrived at 9:00 and completed the job at 1:00pm (he took a 30 minute lunch). I also asked him to fix a Z-wave 3 way switch, but George briefly took a look and told me that these new radio-frequency switches are not his specialty. Total bill for materials and labor ran $357. I think for electrical work (or any job in general) it is wiser to negotiate a price per job rather than price per hour.

I met George The Electrician today. I hired him to repair 4 recessed lights in my kitchen that for the past few years have gradually stopped working. He called me 24 hours in advance to confirm our appointment. He arrived on-time, was very professional and courteous. I explained to him the problem I had, and he said..."I know exactly what it is.." and went straight to work. He was diligent and had the parts he needed in his truck. After 1.5 hours, my kitchen was well lit, looking like it did when I first had it remodeled. He cleaned up after the job was done. Fair price for a job well done. Thank you, George. Will definitely call upon you again.

Details: 3 days before we were due to leave for 5 days we had what seemed a broken pool timer, which controls the main Filter Pump + Air-switches etc. So, naturally we called the local Pool Company since they worked on our equipment before (long story). In short, the pool company installed a new timer and at first glance it seemed to work until the next morning when it tripped the main breaker for the entire Sub-Panel. All we could do was leave everything shut down and worry about it after we got back. This was obviously a bigger problem then anticipated. Therefore I called George The Electrician (he worked on our house and our son's house before and I knew that he was the only one we could trust with electrical issues, even though he said he normally does not work on pool equipment. But with his expertise and workmanship combined with the old fashion Customer Service he can handle any electrical problem). As usual George was prompt and had to figure out what went wrong - that by itself was a "brain-scratcher" due to the complexity of our system. George's persistence to get to the bottom of the matter was remarkable. He found all the mistakes the pool-electrician made and why things happened the way they did. George methodically fixed all the problems, then put all the wires neatly and properly back into the tight wire-box, secured the air-switches etc. Before leaving he made sure that everything worked as it should. Now even things that did not work and we assumed were broken are working in harmony again. If it wasn't for George, we foolishly would have made the mistake again to hire that pool company and would have needlessly also replaced a 4 jet spa booster- pump and air-switches... Thanks George - you saved the day
Description of Work: George came to our rescue - He fixed all the problems after a local pool-electrician replaced a new timer which created chaos and blew the entire Sub-Panel Breaker.

He came out on Saturday as he did not have an opening for me sooner which i appreciated as we were expecting guests. Only a skilled electrician could have resolved these wiring issues.
Description of Work: George installed a chandelier and two wall sconces and capped two other openings. He fixed multiple light switches that were not working as well. The painters had messed up all the electrical wiring and he had to trace the lines and find the wires throughout the entire room.
