The maintenance was successful, and the report was forwarded to and accepted by DMI. Gulf Coast Electric employees were courteous and efficient. They get my "two thumbs up".
Description of Work: Four-point home inspection report revealed that the dead front cover on the electrical panel was missing, which created a safety hazard. An interior spark arrest panel was custom fabricated and installed to cover open breaker/buss spaces. This repair made the interior circuit breaker panel safe and secure.

Integrity, fast response, technical expertise - I'm not sure you can ask for much more from an electric company. Highly recommend. After a week of dealing with our home warranty company, whose referred company (R and R Electric) failed to respond to multiple dispatches and/or phone calls, we finally called Gulf Coast Electric ourselves. Within three hours of my first and only phone call to Gulf Coast Electric, we had an extremely proficient and honest technician (Dale) at our house; after one hour, all our issues were resolved. The office manager (Judy) was great to deal with, as was Dale.
Description of Work: Surveyed and replaced three outdoor electrical outlets, including one GFI.

Great communication skills by everyone at the company--they did what they said they'd do when they said they were going to do it. The folks are courteous, professional, and helpful. I would recommend this company to anyone who wishes to have electrical work done here in Okaloosa County!
Description of Work: My wife and I had the folks at Gulf Coast Electric install two new lights on our garage and a new heating vent/fan/light in our master bathroom. The job was a small one, but Buster did a wonderful, professional job. He kept us informed about what he was doing and how everything would work once he was finished. Excellent job!

This was a tough job.....the ceiling electrical outlet for the fan is 28 feet high. The two man crew replaced the old fan that required using a 25 foot A frame ladder. The men were clean, professional and did a very good job. I will use this company again and I do recommend them.

I called 2 weeks prior to service to ask for an estimate for removing and remounting a ceiling fan and installing a new ceiling fan in its place. I was told that the service call will be $69, plus $69/hour for work done. I scheduled the work to be done. The day of service, the electrician called a little before 8:00am (the appt time) to let me know he would be 15 minutes late. I appreciated the phone call! He arrived at 8:15am. I showed him the new fan and existing fan. He said he had never hung a "flush -mount" fan, so I briefly looked at the parts and instructions with him. I offered to put the fan together while he took down and relocated the existing fan, but he preferred to do it all himself. I was concerned about his ability to hang the new "flush-mount" fan. I checked on him periodically and he seemed to be having no trouble. He was very professional and accomplished the job in one hour and 45 minutes. The company estimated the installation could take up to 2 hours. The fan wiring in the ceiling at both locations did not have to be altered, so it was really just a matter of taking two fans down, re-installing one elsewhere, and replacing one with the new one. This takes some time, though, when only one person is doing the job! The fans are very secure and work properly (fan and light) with the two sets of existing wall switches. I think the price was a little high, but I knew the cost before I hired them - no surprises. It was such a good experience, I will hire this company again for electrical work.
Description of Work: Put together owner furnished ceiling fan and mounted. Removed existing fan and remounted in another room.

Dear Member Thank You for the good report. Our electricians hang a lot of standard ceiling fans throughout the year but few of them are of the "flush-mount " type. They assemble a little differently and take just a little longer to put together especially if they have a lite kit. I am glad your experience with us was a good one and we appreciate your business. In the future if you need any type of electrical service please call Gulf Coast Electric. Thank You

(UPDATED) Bottom line up front: after some initial delays and miscommunication getting an estimate, GCE did outstanding work. I would highly recommend them. Due to their busy schedule, and some missed phone calls, it took several days and attempts to get an estimator out to look at our house. Once he did, however, he was professional, knowledgeable, and highly responsive. I received a written estimate by e-mail within hours of the visit. The work was quickly scheduled and promptly and professionally performed as promised. Their estimate was very competitive ($1000 less) than an estimate received from the electricians officially sanctioned by Nissan for installation of the EV charging station. Again, highly recommended. I plan to use them for a future expansion project.
Description of Work: Installation of a new expanded service box and installation of an electric car charging station. Required burying ~35 feet of conduit, mounting a disconnect box, and mounting and testing the charging station.

The crew came on time to construct the platform for the generator; they worked quickly, efficiently and quietly; they cleaned up completely before leaving. When they installed the generatorit was done in the same way. In fact, when I told them that I was working from home, they took extra pains and used ingenuity to dramatically reduce the length of time the house was without power while they finished the job. Mr. Joiner was the PM throughout and he was extremely responsive, friendly and helpful, and very patient and complete in explaining how to operate and maintain the system. This was a first class consumer experience, and I would enthusiastically recommend GCE and Mr. Joiner to anyone who needs a home power generation system. Job very well done!

Very easy to work with the company. Even with the problems, they responded to my calls fast. They did want us to pay for the guy to come out to fix the first guys mess ups which we argued against....resulting in them not charging us.
Description of Work: Had recessed lights installed--Looks very nice Had closet lights added throughout the house--very nice Added and removed plugs throughout the house--there were a few that were not flush with the drywall so we had to have them come back out to fix them....the others were good though.

All I had to do was to get an estimate in this case. Gulf Coast Electric was competing for a job. They were prompt, professional, and thorough. But my client chose another company based on price.
Description of Work: I represented a home seller who lived out of town. We found out that the house wiring had to be redone in order to get insurance on her house. Gulf Coast Electric was one of the companies who bid the job. I was impressed with their promptness and attention to detail in their estimate. I have since heard of other clients who use Gulf Coast Electric and who are not only impressed and pleased with their professionalism, but who were also very pleased with their work.

Thanks Member for the nice compliments. All of our estimates come with a complete detailed Proposal-Acceptance so the customer has in writing exactly what is and what is not included in the price quoted. Nobody likes surprises especially when they cost extra money for something you thought was included in the price when it was not. The extra time we take in provideing a detailed Proposal eliminates any questions as to what is and what is not included in the quoted price. This is in both parties best interest. Thanks for allowing us the oppertunity to quote your work hopefully we will get the next job you have.
