The experience was very good. I chose to go with them, because the gentleman was knowledgeable, and he was willing to work with me, for any electrical work that I had. They were outstanding.  They were flexible too.

Sent an email on the 14th through Angies list telling them our refrgierator caught on fire and I needed a price to toubleshoot outlet, etc..Wanted hourly rate. Did not get a response asking for more information until 9 days later.
Response from GULF COAST ELECTRIC
"Dear Member, We understand your frustration. You sent Angie's List a estimate request on our behalf just as you stated on Monday 5/12/2014. During the time frame of May 7, 2014 through May 21,2014 we were experiencing problems retrieving messages on the Angie's List web site. It was very frustrating on our end also. We could log into the Angie's site but when we went to the message center the screen would go completely green. We have documentation where we reported this problem to Angie's List on May 7, 2014, unfortunately the problem was not immediately corrected and it was reported again. Apparently during this time frame Angie's List was updating and or doing maintenance on their site which was not allowing some businesses the ability to log in and retrieve and or respond to members messages. The first time we were able to properly access the sites message center was May 21, 2014 when we responded to you. It is unfortunate and I apologize to you that in our email responce to you on May 21 that our office manager did not explain the reason for the delay. We take all request for estimates very seriously and normally respond immedialtely. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. I would assume by now you have your electrical problem taken care of if not please call and we will give you top priority. Thank You"

"Dear Member, Thank you for taking the time to write the review of our company on Angies List. I was concerned with the "C" grade you gave us in the Responsiveness catagory as we make every effort to be responsive. In reasearching your call I see you called our company on August 28, 2013 and scheduled the work for August 30, 2013. We showed up as scheduled on the morning of August 30, 2013 and completed the work on that same day. I also noticed in the electricians note on the invoice that you requested a quotation on some additional electrical work that required the responce of one of our estimators. This did not get accomplished untl several days later and unfortunately the work you requested a estimate on was not work that we perform. I apologize for the delayed responce in responding to your estimate. Thank you for your repeat business it is appreciated."

Everything went very well. Craig is an experienced electrician. He worked quickly & got the job done right the first time. I value his experience & advise about safety. He gave us a tip about buying smoke detectors. Make sure that you check the date on the back of the devise. They are only good for 10 years & must be replaced. If you buy a detector that has been on the shelf for a number of years, that reduces the life of that device in your home. Very nice tip. I will ask for Craig the next time I have a need for an electrician.


Response from GULF COAST ELECTRIC
"Dear Member, Thank you very much for your good review and grade. Most importantly Thank You for your business. We will pass your kind comments along to Craig and they will be used in our next company meeting as a example of what good customer service is all about. Again thank you, your comments and business were much appreciated."

Still waiting for an estimate before I can have them do the work.  It has been a week so far, but I will keep posting every few days and update the time for their response.  I was truly impressed with the knowledge of the rep from gulf coast, and would love for them to do the work upon obtaining an estimate.
Response from GULF COAST ELECTRIC
"Dear [member name removed], Our estimator met with you, your wife and father on December 10, 2013 at 9:00 AM as scheduled. Your estimate was completed and detailed on our Proposal-Acceptance -Contract form on December 12,2013. It was emailed to you on that same day at the email address you provided and it was also sent via US mail. I am not sure why you have not recieved it. The email might have went to your junk mail or spam folders. I suspect that by the time you have recieved this responce you will have recieved the US mailing of the Proposal. I am emailing the Proposal to you again and I will also call you and confirm. Thank You. Just spoke with your wife, asked her to have you call. The mailing adress that the Proposal was sent was to your new residence and apparently you are not getting mail at that address. Sorry for the confusion, still don't know why you did not get the email. Looking forward to your call."

"Dear Member, Thank You for your complimentary review and congratulations on your wise decision to install Surge Protection on your residence. In today's high tech world of electronics, quality Surge Protection has become a necessity and not a option.

It went very well.  Several trips were needed to make the correction that I wanted but they were always on schedule and responsive.  I am a former builder who appreciates subcontractors who take their work seriously and show up for appointments when they are scheduled.  These folks did all of the above very well.  I will not hesitate to call them again.  I only wish they did plumbing and drywall repair too (lol)!!

Overall, it was excellent.  The electrician, Dale, did a great job.  He frequently checked with me about how I wanted thing done or what my preferences were to make sure everything was to my liking.  He was efficient and knowledgeable.  He cleaned each work area as he went.  I highly recommend Gulf Coast Electric.  If there was a downside, I was not provided any cost information when I scheduled the appointment but Dale, the electrician, provided me the hourly rate while at my home.  Their costs were very reasonable and the bill arrived a couple of days after the work was completed.

Company had me on their schedule within 48 hours of my call.  Dale called to let me know he was on his way, and identified himself and presented a business card at the door.  He quickly determined the old 220V dryer receptacle was burned out and needed to be replaced, and he was also able to move it up the wall so it could be disconnected without moving the dryer.  As he was working, I pointed out that the duct connection was not right, and he was able to do a better job than the plumber who had attempted it when I moved in a couple of weeks before.  He also checked the vent and warned me that it was obstructed and needed to be cleared to eliminate a fire hazard!  He cleaned up thoroughly, showed me a detailed work order/invoice, and let me know I would receive the bill in the mail.  No need to write a check on the spot!  Very polite, professional, and knowledgeable service... clearly a customer-oriented company.  I would highly recommend them and will call again if needed.
Response from GULF COAST ELECTRIC
"Dear Member, Thanks for the nice review and good grade. We strive for complete customer satisfaction with every call we do. Dale is a exceptional technician and he goes above and beyond the call of duty with all his work assignmenmts. Thank you very much for your business it is sincerely appreciated."

It was very nice. We like everything they did, everything was did professionally and just right. If my husband accepted their contract, it must have been all day and the price must have been more than he has to. My husband checked around and checked Angie's List and they were the best. They were great people. They were here in no time after talking to them and everything was done that day and then they came back and checked it again.
Response from GULF COAST ELECTRIC
"Dear Member, Thank you for the nice review but it was another contractor who performed your work. Gulf Coast Electric is a electrical contracting firm located in Destin Florida, we strickly do electrical work we do not do Air Conditioning work. Apparently the Angie's List telephone interviewer incorrectly documented your comments to our firm instead of the correct AC firm. Glad you had a good experience, please let us know if you ever have any electrical problems we will be happy to help."

Craig was right on time and was very professional and respectful of our home. He got the new halogen lights installed in a timely manner and was happy to do the smoke alarms when we asked about them at a fixed rate and got the old ones out and replaced in short order.  Best experience we've ever had with an electrician. We will not hesitate to call Gulf Coast Electric again for any electrical needs.
