Great company and work. Quick turn around time. The company gave no information on the service call charge $209 for coming out to diagnose the problem during our multiple calls confirming tech arrival at location.

The first electrician told me it cost $350 to fix the light in my first floor bathroom. He also told me I needed a new circuit breaker panel, which cost $1,800. In less than an hour, Generation 3 fixed my light, looked at my circuit breakers in the basement and said they don't think i need a new one. They charged me $238.11. I'm so glad Home Advisor found them so the other company couldn't rip me off!!!

Tech James was very professional. I wasn't crazy about the price but the work was started and completed as promised. Within 6 hrs of contacting Homeadvisor website, my project was done. I had been calling someone else referred by a friend for three weeks to come and look at the job. I would use Generation 3, again.

Keith, the assigned electrician, called beforehand and informed me his estimated time of arrival. He was on point and punctual. I appreciated his thoroughness in explaining everything and giving me options, as well as his professional demeanor. He completed the job in a timely manner and quite effectively. I also was impressed with his using booties on his feet without my having to ask him...very professional and polite and thorough. He also detailed the work...options for work that should be done...as well as informing me that the home office may be able to work out payment plans given the amount of work needed and the financial costs involved, of which he gave me estimates. I can't see me not rehiring them for future work and requesting Keith's services.

This is the 4th project that Gen3 has done for me. It was to replace a large, in ceiling, bathroom fan. As with all earlier jobs (some much larger) scheduling was at my convenience, prompt arrival and swift completion, total cleanup and reasonable pricing. What more could you ask for? I'll certainly use and recommend them whenever the need exists.

John was very helpful and tended to a blown fuse, outlets not working and converting loose live wires into an outdoor outlet for us. He was on time, professional and informative. Price was great for service we received and we'll definitely be calling them back in a few months for a ceiling fan install!

Gen3 gave me estimate (not cheap) for outside lighting and outlets. I was so impressed with the work that was done and the way the crew handled themselves. I've been searching for an electrician I can rely on and feel confident in their work since this is an area I have no experience with. Gen3 fits the bill. They are professional and qualified. What a difference from the other electrical work I've had done before. They are worth every penny.

Great job done originally. However the work done in 9/4/2013 I've discovered 2 years later that the senior filed supervisor and his technician installed a junction box which accommodates 220 volts for a dryer but will not accommodate a washing machine. In follow up with Mr. Lutz the owner in addressing my concerns I was informed additional charges would apply to change the voltage to accommodate a washing machine. I paid to have an outlet for a washing machine not a junction box for a dryer and was not given a choice. I feel I was taken advantage of. I've had other good experiences with this contractor however very disappointed with their decision to not value me as a repeat customer regarding this original project.

My contractor originally recommended them to install a ceiling fan. After I joined Angie's List their name appeared to have home inspected to $39. I bought coupon and they listed work to be done from least important to most important. They bought my house up to code by what I could afford. Each time they completed a job, I was sent a coupon to apply to the next job. So far, I've used them three times. I have more work to be done, and at least I know that the quoted price is locked in. Last, they are familiar w/ old homes.
