I recently had an electrical panel upgraded and was very impressed with the quality of the work. The technicians were professional, efficient, and ensured everything was up to code. I would highly recommend their service to anyone in need of electrical work.

Bill Schneider from GEN3 came out the next day, gave me an estimate and completed the job immediately. Installed a new exterior outlet on my deck and a dimmer switch for my dinning room chandelier. Very pleased and highly recommend.

While the sticker shock of just running lines for a doorbell apparently for the first time in our recently-purchased home was... painful, literally every other part of the experience working with our technician, Tim, was a breeze. With constant, friendly, punctual communication about who'd be showing up and when, all the way through the inspection and installation process to cleanup after it was all done, Tim was a class act, and the Gen 3 folks were incredibly kind to (and patient with!) a couple first-time homeowners and cross-country transplants. Little touches like offering inspection advice, leaving a bit of extra wire slack for future upgrades, running the wires in a way that kept things neat and tidy and even a bit of extra terminal tightening on our breaker were all just touches that showed this wasn't just a pop in/pop out gig; it really felt like Tim took pride in his work - and he should! The whole experience went from initial quote to installation in a matter of days, and the quality of the work done (not to mention how friendly everyone was) meant it was official: we'll be contacting Gen 3 for another project VERY soon!

Excellent for transparency and walking us through the process. Weren’t pushing aggressively the extras they were recommending. Did the job they said they would do. Unsure of the value as all home renovations seem too expensive to me for what they are doing. The only negative I have: they installed a 240v outlet, and the box the outlet is placed in is a couple degrees rotated counterclockwise ie not level. If I just don’t look at that, it’s perfect. Recommend these guys; will return to them in a couple months.
