We got them as a referral when it was still ANGIES LIST. A couple of days after it was installed the light had started going out the fan was working okay but the lights kept going on and off every 2 minutes, they sent the same technician out trying to figure out why it was doing that. They didn't charge us a dime for the 2 and a half hours the technician (Jason) was here. It was incredibly nice for George Willy to not charge us for having Jason here for almost 2 hours. Nice gentleman, very good technicians, and they really know what they are doing.

We got a video doorbell but our house had no existing wired doorbell. Both of the men were very courteous. The lead tech asked me where I wanted the chime box installed and talked through various options. He took care to make the hole only big enough for the transformer so it would be covered by the chime box and look nice. Unfortunately, the doorbell we got required mechanical and not digital chime box! The lead tech was patient when I called tech support and even tried to talk to them himself. Ultimately, they got everything as far as they could while we had to order a the right chimes. But that was not their fault! They also cleaned up well (our walls are plaster). I would certainly hire them for future electrical work.

The work was done as agreed and in a timely manner. He was very professional, and communicated well. My only complaint is the price $325 for 30 minutes of work; he had a helper. That seems excessive.

Working with GSW has been a great pleasure from talking to the owner George, getting a quote, work being conducted, and billing. This is a top-notch company and I highly recommend them. Competitive pricing with the high-quality work product. Brian and Sam came out did the job quickly and to high-quality standards. Cleaned up after themselves and were true professionals. Carrying around a 16-foot ladder in a small space is not easy and they treated my home like it was there own. Thank you, Brian and Sam and GSW electric for reminding me there are great and honest contractors out there!

We had an existing attic fan and the fan stopped working. I spoke with George on the phone and based on my description, he determined that the motor had failed. GSW arrived on time, and replaced the motor after an onsite assessment. The price he quoted on the phone was the price he charged. They were professional and guaranteed their work. I would certainly call on them again for electrical service.

While the technical was not extremely hard, the tight deadlines due to mismanagement of the overall projected enabled the successful completion of the overall project and saved thousands in fines and delays. I will be using GSW Electric Services again. Extremely happy with the results.
Description of Work: GSW Electric Service came into a situation that was less than optimum. The project was started by another Electrician and the permit expired. GSW was able to review the work, repair issues, and get the final completed quickly with a very tight deadline. GSW only had 2 weeks or less to complete the electrical inspections that allowed for the overall project to be closed out.

I had a water pipe burst in my kitchen and thought some of my outlets may have been compromised from the water, so I had them come in to do an inspection and fix a light switch that just needed replaced. They were in and out quickly and did a thorough job. They also "educated" me on other things to help prevent future issues. They put everything back into place before leaving and were very professional. I will certainly be recommending them to others and will hire again in the future if needed. Great service!!

That was fine. That turned out fine. Again, it took a while to get it coordinated between my schedule and his schedule. I did, but it was because I had more than that done. It was two hundred over. I had them do a whole lot more.They were electrician's, and why they were here. I got them to do some more things. I was perfectly happy with the whole price. There was a lot of problems with communication. When they were suppose to be here, they were here. Yes, they were already in my book. Because there was some problems with communications. He was suppose to call me, but he emailed me. I do not check my emails all the time. I would get a hold to his office person. She said, he sent you an email. It was just difficult. Once we got all that straighten out. Don't call me by email, it was better. The installation was done quite well.

We contacted Mr. Willie, whom we had used before. He came out within a day or two, corrected the problem, and at a more than fair price. We really like GSW electric and certainly plan to use George and his staff again, if we need any other electrical work done in our home.
Description of Work: We needed to have a new dimmer switch installed in our dining room because one of the people from EcoMize had installed new light bulbs without changing the switch, so the bulbs flickered and were too bright when we first turned them on. .

George (Spencer) and Jayson were terrific. They were very professional, thorough, and respectful. They also happily answered my multiple questions so I could feel comfortable with what they were doing. Permitting and inspection went through without any issues. I would absolutely hire GSW Electric again.

They did great service. They replace all the outdoor light and even replace additional light with no extra cost. before he Installed the ceiling fan in the master bedroom, he went to the attic to make sure that the box can support the fan and won't cost any damage on our ceiling in the future. I definitely will contact them again on our next project.

GSW responded promptly to my request and was able to meet my appointment preferences. Jason was the electrician who performed the work. He was efficient, cheerful, discussed options with me, and honored a price approach that GSW had offered when I set up the appointment - that is, if the job was finished earlier than the expected length of time, it would convert to an hourly rate.

Great! GSW responded the same day of my request for an estimate and scheduled a time based on my convenience later that week. Estimate was emailed within 2 days and the owner called to schedule a time to do the service about 2 days after I signed the contract. The electrician, Jason, arrived within the 1 hour window, assessed the project, and started working right away. He was very friendly, professional, and just top-notch competent. Rather than try to rush through the project, Jason made great suggestions about where, and how, to place the fans, and kept taking measurements with me to ensure they were going to be located exactly where I wanted (within the nearest 1/4 inch, no joke!). He went to great lengths and significant extra time to drill and then fish the electrical wire through the wall rather than drill through the siding where it would have been noticeable. Throughout the whole project it was clear to me that the electrician truly did treat my house as if it was his own - I can't convey how impressed I was with his attention to detail, even offered to mop off fingerprints (most of which were mine). Part of the contract was for me to remove and modify some of the ceiling vinyl tile pieces (which is more work than it sounds like) and Jason did not hesitate to cut out the openings in the tiles for the fans for me and help with the re-install. The finished product was outstanding (and I am a really picky person) and the fans look fantastic. I truly felt GSW really went out of their way to ensure I was happy with the service and the quality of work. Couldn't recommend these guys any higher - will definitely use them for future work.
