Established in 2009.
Power Plus Electric was established by Greg McGarry in 2009

ABOUT BUSINESS OWNER


I started working in this trade at the age of 18 and in my early 20s, I joined the International Brothers of Electrical Workers. After joining I went through the mandatory 5 years of apprenticeship training and became a journeyman electrician. Soon after I decided I would be better off having supplemental income and decided to take the NJ electrical license exam. After passing in 2009 I opened up Power Plus Electric and never looked back

Looking to install an EV a charging in the garage. I got several quotes, this was a bit less than others. The work was done well and the inspection from the town passed.  
I will use again for my next electrical project

Greg is 100% responsive and is definitely worth contacting for your electrical needs. I've done business with him twice so far and each time has been quick, efficient, and very fairly priced. Once for an EV charger install and another for a separate emergency low voltage issue with my home. Showed up within an 30 minutes of first contact and informed me of what the issues were and what should be done to correct the problems by the power company. Best service of any business I've dealt with through yelp by far. 100% recommend Power Plus.

I made the appointment with Greg based on all of the 5-star reviews.  He was everything that the other reviewers had reported.
He responded to my Yelp request in 10 minutes, he arrived 20 minutes early for the appointment, and completed the work promptly.
He provided an estimate for other work within 24 hours.
He was very respectful of Covid precautions.  He was also friendly and complimented me on my old house.
I have already recommended him to two neighbors; I hope that he will not be too swamped with work!

Greg was quick to respond, showed up when promised and did the job quickly and efficiently. His prices were unbelievable considering the work he did! I have already got him lined up for more electrical work in my house over the next month. Very glad I was able to find him.

I had a great experience with Greg at Power Plus. I requested a quote for the install of 4 ceiling fans and 2 Ring floodlights and he responded quickly. I took a few pictures to give him an idea about any potential challenges with the floodlight location and he got a quote back to me in less than a day. I also added a chandelier at the last minute and he updated the quote quickly.

On the day of the install, Greg got right to work. There was some unexpected light switch work for 3 of the 4 ceiling fans (my fault for not opening the boxes first) but Greg kept chugging along and did the work for a fair price. We had the junction boxes in place already so he was able to hang and wire them up in no time.

Quality of the work continued with the floodlight installs. There was no preexisting electrical so Greg pulled all the necessary wires and and had them up and running in no time. He even stayed up on the ladder to make sure I was happy with the light & camera positioning.

All in all, I would definitely recommend Greg and Power Plus for any electrical issues you may have. Great work at a fair price

I had used Greg's services back in the end of January for a light switch that went bad, he quickly provided a quote within record time via Yelp and came the next day to fix.  I was so impressed with his work and attitude that I had him come back in March to provide my home with a new circuit breaker, installation of exhaust fan in my bathroom, and installation of a new ceiling fan.  Greg was very easy to work with and charged a very fair price.  I will certainly do business with him in the future, if need be.  Thanks again Greg.

Greg was quick to respond to my request. Showed up on time and gave me a fair price. Quick to answer my questions and set up a date to do the work. He was punctual clean and did exactly as he described and everything works great!  I look forward to utilizing him again for future needs. Do not look any further for your needs!

I needed kitchen lighting installed and all outlets brought up to code. Greg was professional, knowledgable and willing to work around my schedule. The work was performed quickly and at a fair price. If I need more electrical work performed, I will be using Power Plus Electric again without hesitation. Highly recommend.

Just had some electrical work done today by Greg. What an awesome, seamless experience from start to finish. He was extremely professional, punctual, and did great work for a great price. He got back to me quickly each time I reached out to him and provided estimates via email.  Strongly recommend him and will use him again for any future electrical projects!! Thanks Greg!

The skinny:  Greg from Powerplus is an absolute professional.  If you're looking for an electrician who does quality work, is exceptionally thorough, and charges reasonable rates, look no further.  

Here's my long-winded story:

With the power outages we've had in my area the past couple of years I wanted to make sure this year I was ready for future emergencies. Standby generators and other such solutions were way out of my budget so I opted to go with the portable generator + Interlock solution (as opposed to manual transfer switches, etc.).  

I found a couple of electricians via word of mouth and from local online forums  and got some estimates.  I heard roughly the same details from each of the 3 electricians I talked to:

- This would be a straight forward job, estimates roughly the same
- The only gotcha is that my town is extremely anal about inspections (2 of the 3 who have done work in my town said this, including Greg.  The 3rd usually does work outside my town, but said my job should be no problem, based on permit work he's done elsewhere in NJ).

What set Greg apart were the following:
- Very responsive. You can tell he's busy, but he's never too busy to answer your call or answer your e-mail.  I had a lot of questions along the way and I was always appreciative of how patient Greg was throughout the process.  
- Foresaw Potential Issues - Though the general sentiment was that my job would not have any issues with the town, Greg did notice that my existing panel was overloaded (due to tandem breakers).  He remarked that usually town inspectors don't make you redo existing work as they inspect the new scope of work.  However, he was the only one of the 3 that made the effort to contact my town's inspector to check.  And lo and behold, my town, true to their reputation responded that they would fail the new work (for the interlock) because of my existing overloaded panel.  Greg came up with alternatives and continued to think through what the potential pitfalls were.  If I had gone with anyone else, they would have done the work, failed inspection, and then we would have been at the point to consider alternatives.  Greg was the only one that helped me figure out the issues ahead of time.  I'm a no surprises kind of guy, so that was very important to me.  
- Leveraged Technology - One of the other things that distinguished Greg from others was he was the only one with a Facebook page (facebook.com/powerplusel…)  All very clean cut and nice.  He also was the only electrician I contacted willing to scope out the work based on pictures.  Part of that is that he's about an hour away from me so it wasn't the most convenient for him to come out to my place.  But, I mean, it is 2014, you'd think more contractors would be able to use technology to their advantage and save everybody (both themselves and the homeowner) time.  To be clear, Greg did come in person to finalize some things and confirm what he saw in the pics I sent him, but it just makes a whole lot more sense to me for an initial estimate to be done via pictures.  I wish more contractors would do that.  
- Saw the Job Through (start to finish) - I never had to bug Greg on status or what was going on.  He was usually the one to ping me and keep me up to speed on what was going on.  That's a breath of fresh air compared to all of the other contractors I've ever dealt with.  

So what happened:
- Greg did an awesome job, the subpanel looked great, all the wiring was clean cut.  He took the time to explain everything as we tested the setup (generator, interlock).    I was happy.
- We went to inspection, and my town failed it due to some their interpretation of working clearance.   Note this had NOTHING to do with Greg's work and I am convinced that my town is just difficult to work with (this was confirmed later, by the way, as I spoke to more people)  
- We were stuck between a rock and a hard place at this point.  But credit Greg.  Long story short, he helped me persevere and we found a solution to all of it.  Honestly, as I've stated above, I think my town is the exception and inspectors elsewhere would not have failed my job.  I would never advise anyone to do electrical work without a permit, but in my case it was an extreme hassle.  
- It's hard to say what would have happened if I had chosen someone else.  But I do think any lesser electrician would have bailed on me as this literally took months to sort out.  

Bottom line:  Greg is hard-working, honest, and does quality work.  That combination of qualities rare these days.  To be completely honest, given the experience it took to get a permit in my town, I'm hesitant to ever do any electrical work in my home again.  But, if I do, I will definitely go with Greg.
