Description of Work: The quality of the job is really good, Jason did a great job. We had new outlets installed in the detached garage, flood lights replaced, bathroom exhaust fans installed, and an electrical panel upgrade along with a whole house surge protector all for less than 4K. A- for communication, the electricians were definitely working hard at other sites and texting via phones to schedule or resolve scheduling conflicts was delayed. I found that the Angie’s List message feature worked better than just texting from my phone. We also had a return trip for Jason to check a breaker that wasn’t outputting power to the water heater, that was immediately completed without any issues. Invoice and billing was seamless. This company is one you can call upon to do good work.

Description of Work: Got prompt site visit after initial request. Was very capable to handle my complex situation. We went over many options during a couple month and George was extremely patient to lead me through this and find the best option fitting my need. The job was done flawlessly and the electrician who installed my service told me all the details related to operation and future component purchase details. All in all a wonderful service experience. Highly recommend!

While make needed-repairs, we identified two electrical outlets in the dining room that were no longer functioning. We tried circuit breaker, but still could not get them to work. Call GSW and described problem, they assessed may not be major - but would probably determine quickly. We contracted to have them come and make estimate/repairs - which they did quickly (under one hour) and then the problem was fixed. From phone calls to repairs - all complete in just a week.
Description of Work: Our experience with GSW was totally pleasant - they were quick to call me back, helpful in making an appointment, and prompt in coming to perform the work. The electrician took our inputs and quickly identified the problem (very simple repair) - the work was performed quickly, and the worker was professional. We would recommend this business again. Ended up that on GFI outlet was bad - so not a major repair (no additional wiring required).

The work required two visits. The electricians came when they said they would. On both visits the work was done promptly and thoroughly, and no mess was created. I am quite satisfied with the work and I would definitely use this company for any electrical work I need in the future.
Description of Work: I contracted with GSW Electric to install an attic ventilator fan and to install a ceiling fan in one bedroom. I provided the ceiling fan and GSW provided the attic fan.

Outstanding. Gave a general estimate over the phone for the work and confirmed the cost when he arrived. Quick, efficient and professional. He took a lot of time to install the antique chandelier-- making sure it was centered and hung right, etc. Cleaned up afterward and I am still happy with the work. Great personality and professionalism. Prices are fair and consistent with other electrical companies. I referred GSW to my in laws and he did a fantastic job of wiring and installing all new lighting in the 3rd floor of their older home.
Description of Work: Installed new box & wiring for a chandelier in master bedroom. Installed a larger, brighter florescent light in walk in closet.

He is a very nice man. He came with one helper, and I was just very impressed with him overall. We had a preexisting ceiling fan in the kitchen, and he noted that it was hot when it ran, which could've been a fire hazard so he replaced it with a new one that we bought. He installed everything, and did a good job. They are just wonderful.
Description of Work: They put in five ceiling fans for us, and moved an electric box in the kitchen.

I originally scheduled another company for this work, but after receiving their quote,which seemed high, I checked the list and the company did not have a very high rating. I canceled the work with the first contractor and hired GSW on a time and material basis. The hourly rate was what I expected. The technician was polite and friendly, though I did not get the impression that data and phone cabling was his specialty. The work got completed in two trips because of a special device plate that was needed. I was satisfied with the work and do not have anything decidedly negative to pass on about the company, nor do I have anything exemplary to share about them. I did not save any money using this company over my original fixed price contractor selection. The invoice, though this was a time and material job, did not detail anything about the time or materials employed on the project. This did disturb me, but I was glad to be done with the whole thing and move forward.
Description of Work: Reroute two data cables, install two RJ-45 jacks (computer network connections), furnish and install two-line phone jack at location with cable already roughed in to wall box. Route phone line to service connection point outside and connect. The work generally involved moving existing lines around to new locations. The cable was existing, but needed to be moved.
