General Electrical Contracting

David called before arriving, he was on time and courteous. He installed a ceiling fan in two hours and charged a very fair fee. We talked some, and it is clear that he is honest and a fair business man. I personally have a business on Angie's List and value someone that can be trusted. David and General Electrical Contracting is by far a Grade A! Business. Thank you David

It did NOT go at all. We called GEC and discussed with Brianna our need for an electrician to handle the services requested. We explained we were in the middle of a kitchen remodel and needed this service between Aug. 24-26 when the walls would be ripped out and wiring exposed for the requested services. She gave us an appointment for Aug. 25 between 9-10 a.m. We made it very clear we needed an electrician to complete the work requested as we were in the middle of a kitchen remodel with exposed electrical wiring and switch boxes and no electrical power. She assured us GEC could handle all we required. At 9:45 on Aug. 25, the electrician called to say he was ill and could not come. We explained it was critical to have an electrician before the end of the week. He said that was not possible. No options were offered and we had no choice but to suspend our renovation until we can find an electrician to make the necessary electrical changes before we complete the wall and cabinet installations in our kitchen. David, the ill electrician, further explained that he was only coming by to give us a quote on GEC services...THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ORDERED. We requested FULL SERVICE on the work needed, NOT A QUOTE as he says he was told. The word "quote" was never even used in our booking conversation with GEC. We requested and expected an electrician to arrive and provide the work required. Additionally, as a reputable company listed with Angie's, we feel GEC should have notified us either the evening before or earlier than 15 minutes before we were expecting them the day of service. This is our FIRST use of Angie's List and may well be our last. We do NOT find Angie's List beneficial and at this point regret joining.

Good people, hard workers, & killed, honestly priced.

Terrific. They were on time and very professional. Completed the jobs in good time. Very friendly and nice. I was very satisfied with their service and will not hesitate to call them again.

He was on time and checked out the problem and repaired it quickly because I needed to return to work.

I would definitely hire General Electric again. They knew exactly what they were doing, were on time, professional, easy to talk to to and explained everything and affordable! We will always call them in the future for any electrical projects.

I left request via Angie's List, he called me, made a very quick appointment, he came right on time, had everything he needed and did the job at a reasonable professional rate.

They were on time and very pleasant and professional.

David was great to work with. He was very communicative and followed up when he said he would. The tasks were minor but he completed them regardless. Overall, he was terrific. I will definitely use him again when the need arises. I will also recommend him for electrical work.

Representatives visited my property to assess what needed to be done. I was promised a estimate by the weekend. 2 weeks later I had still not heard anything and so engaged an alternative provider. I have still not received the estimate.

Ceiling fan was removed and replaced. David is a pleasant guy and did the work without making a mess. There was some difficulty getting the new fan to fit the existing box, can't remember but I believe new box had to be installed. There was and additional charge of $110.

David communicated very well every step of the way. He did exactly what we needed and was very professioinal.

Bought $75 Angie List deal for ceiling fan installation. Played telephone tag for a while (he always returned my calls) and set up an appointment. Was delayed in arrival because of an extended earlier job. He called me to ensure that this was OK (which it was). Put a drop cloth over our hardwood floors below where work was to be done. Our ceiling was 12 feet so he needed long ladder which he had and used. He removed the old fan and neatly packed it into a box. He assembled the new fan and installed it. New fan had different switch control which was flawlessly installed. He removed has ladder and drop cloth. Everything was neat and clean.

It worked out very well. They scheduled the appointment and showed up for the job. Everything was fine. After the big deal was purchased, they came out after several weeks to do the work but it was under my request because I wasn't quite ready to do it. There were no additional costs. I liked the price that they gave me and that they followed up. I have no dislikes.

Stress is to have a bed and breakfast and on Friday when the ceiling fan in a room dies. In bed and breakfast land, I do not know why, everything has a penchant to die on Friday. With a 2 hour window left before the first of the guests are expected to arrive...Fan dies. Ok, off to Lowe's we go. Find simply beautiful fan. Husband scurries home to install the fan to avert unhappy guest. He has done fan installation many times. Voila....fan spinning with grace. All's right with the modern world as a cool guest in July is a happy guest. Alas, a problem. Happiness ceiling fan has dark bulbs. Not a working light in sight. Flipping on and off of switch renders continued dark. Husband sends out alert to hunt down Angie's List for electrician as he cannot for the life of him get lights to come on. I make Emergency alert call to General Electrical Contracting without a grain of hope that in the remaining moments before guests arrive i will score service on a Friday. David Gross to the rescue. Springs into action with the mere replacement of "a faulty switch." Not only will I now have cool and content guests but husband has been vindicated in his continuing supremacy of "fan installer." A win-win for sure. On a side note, David Gross is a neat electrician. Debris not scattered about with this fellow. Neat and tidy he is. Thank you David. David is also on "on time" electrician even when basically provided with zip notice. Thank you all so much. Weekend saved. We'll certainly call again should we need an electrician. Our sincere thanks!

The service was excellent. The technician called prior to the appointment to insure that everything about their service was fully understood. I was interested in teplacing an existing ceiling fan with a new remote controlled fan. He fully explained what type fan I needed to purchase to be able to do this. On the appointment date he arrived at the scheduled time and did an excellent job removing the old fan and installing the new one. He was very cordial and professional. He carried away the old fan and left the room neat and clean. I had a number of smoke detectors that needed to have the batteries replaced. They are on the ceiling and I have balsnce problems when climbing a ladder to replace them. He offered to do them for me. When I asked him what I owed him for that work he said it was his pleasure and I owed him nothing. I insisted that he take $20 which he did. I highly recommend this company.

Contractor was professional and took a responsible attitude towards discovering possible hazards.

He was very friendly, very attentive, and is a very good company. He wouldnt let me participate in even to pick up a box. They are very professional.

David arrived on time and completed everything I wanted done. He was very professional and polite. I had no mess to clean up after he left. I am a very pleased customer.

They were very professional and responsive to my inquiries, and punctual. I would definitely use them again.

I liked them so much I hired them for a much bigger job two weeks later.

They did fine. They were very good, very prompt and very courteous. They did well. I think I bought some parts for the light that they fixed. They brought the parts. Their price was fine. They did good. Their responsiveness and punctuality were good. They were very professional.

We had him install a motion light outside, at first the motion light that would not come on when spotting small objects, only large; and then it stopped working altogether.We ended up calling him back out and he ended up having to get another light to install. We also had flourescent lighting that was not working. After he fixed them a bit later a few of them also went out. We had to contact him again to come out and fix them. The project ended up costing me more than we thought it originally would.

We discussed the project over several days with the company adding useful suggestions. Work was completed on time and exactly as we agreed.

The work was done in a professional manner and with obvious experience doing the tasks given to them. The only thing I would caution a potential customer to do would be to get a 'quote' as to the cost of the work.
