First class service. George really knows his stuff and performed the job just as promised. In addition to upgrading our breaker box to a modern type he also fixed a host of issues done poorly by others. His work was clean and the city inspector said the work was done very nicely. George also took care of all the permits with the city and his follow through was great. Very happy and would use again for sure.
Description of Work: George replaced the old push-button breaker panel in our 1962 house with a modern 220V system. He also fixed some of the electrical "problems" and things that weren't done right by previous people

George and his wife work as team. They were professional and did the work for the price agreed upon for the fan. George did a great job on the installation of the fan so I asked him if he could install 7 replacement smoke detectors, which he and his wife did within 1 hour. I thought the work done was very good and I would not hesitate to hire him for other projects. I also enjoyed George's sense of humor.

This installation was on a 4X4 beam at the apex of a sixteen foot vaulted ceiling in a master bedroom that had no attic. It required George to make several trips into the attic of the adjacent room to tap into a power source and then bring a cable and conduit through a hole he made in the bedroom wall next to the beam. He then assembled and installed the 56" ceiling fan using more and larger screws than required and supplied by the manufacturer. George said that more and stronger screws would better support the weight of this large fan. In all, the entire process took about three hours and he left the work site cleaner than it was before he started the job. I couldn't have asked for a better job, or a nicer person to have done it. George was genuinely concerned with getting the job done right.
Description of Work: George went beyond just installing the ceiling fan we had purchased. He had brought with him the extra parts, wiring, conduit, etc., that were needed, but not included with the fan in the box.

George returned my call the same day, and fit me in two days after my initial call. What I thought might be a huge project turned out to be a non-issue, and he solved the intermittent shower light issue in 10 minutes. I paid the minimum charge of one hour ($75), and he was on his way. Will definitely hire in the future!

I rewired all the receptacles in my house. But not being an electrician I left anything I wasn't comfortable with for an electrician to take a look at. Enter George. George fit me in within 2 days, and stayed until the job was done. I threw a bunch at him, and he fixed everything necessary. He went through and found where a neutral wire was disconnected in a particularly confusing circuit. And on top of it all, he was patient and willing to teach me about what he was doing, which only helped me understand my wiring. I'll use him again.
Description of Work: Added an outlet above a range hood. Found/fixed an open neutral. Re-pigtailed more than a few receptacles and switches.

Didn't install entry light. Offered directions but didn't look at them. Said there was no ground wire but there was. Took his time on everything. Went to the car and to the bathroom numerous times. He likes to talk so be careful since he charges by the hour. Finished at 2:38pm and charged until 3pm. He put a lump sum for parts and didn't itemize them so I'm not sure if he overcharged.

In the light of your negative comments I feel it necessary to address each issue. The light fixture shipped to you was damaged because the ground wire had been cut and removed halfway between the suspended light and ceiling J-box. When I opened the shipping box I showed it to you. Any light fixture suspended from the ceiling with chain is required by code to be grounded for safety. I explained it to you and I did not (for your safety) install that fixture. Now please note I could have replaced the ground wire between the light fixture and the ceiling j-box, but when I considered the amount of time it would take to take the fixture apart to connect the ground wire and the fact that the fixture was new with the defect I felt and still feel the best solution would be to return the fixture for a new one. And I remember you called them to do just that. As to the allegation of taking my time in making too many trips in my van and the rest room. First of all the van was park in your driveway about 20 feet from your front door which is where the work was done. I'm sorry you think I made too many trips to the van, but it would have been difficult for me to carry the ladder, tools, drop cloth, drill and parts in one trip. As to using the rest room, I was at your home for over six hours and used the rest room twice for only a few minutes. As to the allegation I finished at 2:38 pm and not 3:00 pm. You should have mentioned that when I handed you the invoice two weeks ago. I know it took me a while to put the away the ladder, the drop cloth, the tools and filled out the invoice. I can only say that this allegation is not correct. As to the lump sum on the invoice for material. The invoice (line 4) stated the GFI- the outlet- dimmer $43.00, it should stated GFI-$20.00 , outlet $3.00, Dimmer $20.00.= $43.00. This prices are comparable to Home Depot. I'm sorry i did not itemize them but I don't have anything to hide. Your satisfaction is my upper most goal . I went out of my way above and beyond when I agreed to help James to install that really large map of Italy on the wall. I'm sorry that you are not happy with my services, if there's anything I can do to correct your dissatisfaction please let me know. Thank you, George

The broken light fixture was 15 years old and had developed a leak into the housing for the Malibu light. The electrical power source entered the submersed waterfall floor via an underground electrical cord, protruding through a rock and concrete base. The metal nut through which the cord entered the waterfall was heavily rusted and may not have even been removable without significant demolition to the surrounding rock/concrete floor. George ("The Electrician") devised a creative solution to replace the old light fixture with a new fixture (which I provided), without having to remove the rusted nut and without having to demolish any of the surrounding rock/concrete floor. The job was completed in less than 1 hour and the cost was very fair. George arrived 40 minutes ahead of schedule (in the early morning) to accomodate me before I needed to leave home for work and I found him to be an extremely friendly gentleman, possessing a work ethic which is becoming harder and harder to find. I definitiely will recommend George "The Electrician" to my friends, neighbors and business associates and I will definitely call George the next time that I need to have electrical services performed.

George worked me into his schedule and showed up early. Nice, very pleasant to work with. I was concerned about the amount of support for the fan, and he showed me how what was there was more than strong enough. I installed the fan did the wiring and even showed me how the remote worked. Done in about an hour. Overall, he was very reasonable, punctual and professional. I would definitely use him the next time I am in need of an electrician. Highly recommended.

I wanted extra lighting in the sitting room of my bedroom and had purchased some beautiful wall sconces some time ago. Problem was, the location of lights would be an easily accessible area but putting a switch in would be difficult as there's not an easy or convenient spot and thus extensive to install. George was the first electrician to give me the option of installing touch activated lights. They work wonderfully. No extra switches which means no extra holes in the wall and easy to use! This is the second time he's been to my house. The first was to install a 240 V outlet plug in my garage to charge my electric car. Again, wonderful job. Professional, quality, cleans up afterwards....plus he's an honest, kind man. I'll definitely call him for ALL my future electrical needs! Just an fyi, before George I've used other electricians. They have worked painfully slow, seemingly unknowledgeable, one didn't even install my light fixture straight!!!! Glad I found a great, trustworthy electrician in George.

Description of Work: Geoerge did a wonderful job on a complicated remodeling project on a very old house with a lot of unpermitted work done previously. He completely rewired all the electrical, put in new breakers, a sub panel, outlets, new lighting and brought it all up to code.

George is one of a few honest service providers out there. He as very kind, listened to my issues and offered several solutions. I've now added Geoge to my favorites in case I or anyone I know ever is in need of a honest and talented electrician.
Description of Work: I called George a couple days before XMas on a weekend. Got an appt with him the 2nd day after Xmas. George called to confirm the night before the appointment. He arrived exactly when he said he would. We had been dealing with two different breakers tripping for the past few years. George was able to determine the issue in the kitchen where the prior wiring was not distibuted properly. He promptly figured out the best solution and resolved the issue without the need to run any new electrical. He was able to resolve our second issue, which appreared to be a combination of a breaker that was tripping to early and too many lights on one circuit. While George was there he noticed an unsafe condition with our electric range. The conduit from the box to the unit was not secure and was an accident waiting to happen.

George, The Electrician was very professional, knowledgeable, and willing to work with you. With him, you get personal service, which is rare these days. He has a great attitude about his work and life. We very much enjoyed working with George on our kitchen project. His prices are a bit on the higher side, but you get quality work so we didn't mind paying for it. He is diligent about getting his work done in time, and he was open enough to show us a few tricks of the trade, since we are in the process of remodeling our whole house. We got to meet his lovely wife, Linda, on George's last day working with us. She is wonderful and helpful for George. We hired George 2 years ago, and every year we still get a Christmas card from him and his wife. It's a very personable gesture that we appreciate. We highly recommend George, The Electrician, for his quality work, punctuality, and personal service.

George checked my attic wiring and outlets. He told me I had nothing to worry about and said, "I guess I talked myself out of a job". How many people do you find like that now a days? I 'll probably need to have my electrical panel upgraded when I do a kitchen remodel so he will be the guy I get the first bid from.
