We were told they would arrive between 7:30 and 8:00am, they arrived promptly at 7:30. They explained what they would be doing and got right to work. They found some existing wiring that wasn't done correctly so they asked if I would mind if they corrected, of course I had no objections. When they were done (much quicker than I expected) they showed me what they had done and made sure I didn't have any questions. They asked for a vacuum and cleaned up any mess that was made. Before they left I was told if we had any issues or problems to please call them. Both men were very kind and professional. I would highly recommend GSW to anyone looking to get electrical work done, I also plan on having them back in the near future to install some ceiling fans.
Description of Work: Installed an attic fan.

We developed an electrical current drop in half the house over the weekend. I called GSW Electrical on Sunday morning and George immediately set up an appointment for first thing Monday morning and identified their $140 hourly rate. He also suggested this could likely be an external utility problem and I might get assistance from the utility company. I called PEPCO and, to my surprise, they came out the same day and found the problem. We cancelled the appointment with GSW, but we appreciate their professionalism in identifying a solution that didn't need their visit. I will use them for any future electrical needs. A+.
Description of Work: Provided over-the-phone recommendation that saved a service call and charge.

We called GSW Electric Service, LLC to check out a partial power outage at our home. We called the office at 7:00am, and by 7:30am on the same day two electricians were at our house. They were extremely polite, knowledgeable, and thorough. We could not have been more impressed with the company and the service they provided. We will definitely be repeat customers!

GSW was timely and professional. I wanted to replace the board behind my electrical panel to improve the look of my basement before listing my home for sale. My other choice (recommended by my realtor) fell through, and I needed someone quickly. The owner said he'd get a guy out the next morning, which was great. The technician showed up right on time, and completed the work quickly. He even kept the power on to the main floors of the house to save me the minor hassle of resetting clocks afterwards, which is above and beyond what I expected. Job looked great, and was a definite improvement for the house. So, will definitely use again.

I am very pleased with the work done. GSW was on time to do the estimate and then to do the work The 2 guys were professional and they didn't mind answering my questions. They asked for my input when decisions had to be made and how I wanted the lights to looked. I will reach out to GSW for my next electrical project.
Description of Work: My light in the kitchen went out. So I replaced it with can lighting. GSW installed 4 can lights and a pendant light over the sink. They also replaced 2 light fixtures for me - one in the dining room and also the small room off the liuving room. GSW also replaced the thermostat for the heating/cooling system.

Greg was a great worker and if he was closer to our new place, I would use him again to fix the mess in our current house. He fixed all the wiring at our previous residence, in time for us to rent it out. He educated me on the things required to make a bathroom electrical wiring code compliant. Was the most reasonable price for the work.
Description of Work: Obtained permit from County, and fixed wiring to be up to code

Initial meeting went very well, George explained everything that they would do. The estimate came quickly by email and was detailed enough for me to follow. The electrician who performed the work was pleasant and professional. He went over everything with me and even marked the breakers I should not move as the generator would not be able to handle to load (Heat pump as an example). We went through a dry run, disconnecting the utility power and running the lights, fridge and well pump on the generator for around 20 minutes so that I am comfortable with doing it by myself now. All in all I'm very pleased with the work GSW did and will use them again along with recommending them to others.

I called GSW at 10 am. They had an electrician here at noon the same day and charged the quoted price. The electrician worked on the problem until he determined te exact problem and corrected the issue. He found loose wiring on a wall switch that was tripping the breaker. He was professional and was good to work with.

He was very good. It was expensive. He is very patient. He explained everything. He told me what I would have to do to keep up with the lights so that they stay in a better condition for a longer period of time. He also told me about the different types of lighting that I could use in terms of volts. He was very punctual and he was very nice. I thought it was a little pricey for the number of hours of work. Because of the price, I don't know if I would use him again. Otherwise, I would. I don't have any work for him to do right now.
