Once again we needed some some electrical problems diagnosed and repaired. For us, the only place to call was George's Electric because of the great experience we had four years ago with Frank, the tech who installed our interlock switch along with an outside power receptacle for our portable generator.
This time the business merits a solid five stars from my experience with the office scheduling the repair over the phone, one of the ladies calling me today to let me know a tech could show up today instead of next week (I jumped on it) and on to James, the tech.
As I said to James when he had completed the two essential electrical repairs, I love a tech who is also educational. James told me much about our electrical system and which appliances should be plugged into 20 amp outlets instead of 15 amps. No one had ever explained that to us, much less the company that sold us our house and finished wiring it up. James explained everything clearly and he worked quickly as well. He was super friendly and personable. I immediately had full confidence in him to do quality repair work, which he did.
George's Electric remains our go-to for all electrical work for our home.
Had them come yesterday to move two existing outlets and a switch approx two feet along the same wall. 2 hours work. Billed $924.00.
$52 --Materials
$78--Permit
That leaves a whopping $794 for labor. That is almost $800 or $400 per HOUR.
I think they should make a point of letting the customer know of the Service Charge, hourly rates, etc. so one is not completely blind-sided by the cost of a small job.
George's Electric are wonderful to work with. They arrived on time, let me know they are there, got to work, let me know status when I asked, cleaned up after themselves, had the house up and working by the end of the day. In my case it was a multi-day job involving others; George's took care of arranging the others, permitting and inspection. At the end of the day, the house was back up working and they told me what steps were left, when they would happen, and what the homeowner's job would be in completion (scheduling).
The estimate was reasonable, detailed, easy to understand. The overall cost was right on the estimate with no surprises.
This is the second time I've used George's and they are now my first choice for any work large or small.
These are the guys to use to just get it done and done right.
If i could give 0 stars I would. I hate and hardly EVER give bad reviews but this place is unreliable and it feels like pulling teeth when you need a response from them.
I had to get my bathroom fan replaced. They came and took my unit out and said they had to order a new unit. Didn't come back until a month later with a new guy. He came assessed the same way the first guy did and left saying they had to order a new unit AND said they LOST the original unit.
Called and called. No response. Had to get another electrician to finish their job.
The worst part is that this company stated to have replaced my fan when asked about my case.
Needed a light installed so I queried the neighborhood and virtually everyone recommended George's. I now understand why. The techs arrived on time, prepared with all necessary equipment and skill. Light installed perfectly and in minimal time. Any mess was cleaned up and carried out. Techs were friendly and courteous and wearing masks for safety. I will be using them again when needed and highly recommend this agency!

Service was prompt and electricians friendly. My issue was called and was quoted a price and with the time being half the quote and price was what was quoted. Then later want another 100 for permit that didn't charge me for. If permit was received prior to service then figure was part of quote. Doesn't seem appropriate and will try another business next time

The guy they sent for our remodel over a year ago had a holier than thou attitude, slower than a sloth, was nailed on multiple violations by the county inspector, took considerably longer than stated, and put in canned lighting in the most dysfunctional pattern imaginable. He DIDN'T ASK about lighting placement (I was on site the entire time, and so was the GC), so the George's Elec guy starts putting putting holes in the ceiling willy nilly while we were doing other things (again, why would you not ask about placement, if owner and GC are right there!). Can not imagine where they got someone so inept, as I have worked with contractors for decades through considerable real estate investing.
Fortunately, Seth came out to try and salvage the situation. Will not use this company again, unless Seth is doing the work.

Called for an estimate to repair several pretty easy electrical repairs like securing baseboard heaters to walls with screws, fixing some electrical outlets, replacing a utility room fan and other minor electrical work. They quoted me over $3500.00 of 2 days plus OT work!!!!!! This quote was made without an electrician coming out to look at the job. Are you frigging kidding me???? Either they were not interested in doing the job (they should have just said so) or they really think people are that stupid!!!!!!
They did an amazing job hooking up my new manufactured home and septic system. They were professional and knowledgeable. The job went smooth and they worked it in a timely manner.
I called this company twice. The first time they didn't return my call after several days. The second time I got the estimator on the line...think his name was Scott. And he gave me a high ball estimate without even looking at the job. Obvious he didn't want my business.
About four months ago I paid around $2,600 for a new panel and mast to be installed. When the panel was installed, one of the electricians (Tim?) snipped a red wire on like a 12-3(?) wire and now the GFCI in the bathroom has a light on indicating that there's an issue with the circuit. I thought about saying something the next day after the power came back on (they left before PSE came to turn on the power to the house), but it still provides power to the outlet and I was planning on re-wiring the bathroom anyways during my next remodel.
Today I went to turn off a breaker and when I opened the panel, the lights in the hallway started to flicker. After turning off all of the breakers and then the main breaker I discovered that two sets of wires had come loose from two breakers and would spark when touched. They were so loose that they didn't even seem hand tightened. It was an easy fix, and you are suppose to re-tighten your breakers every year, but it seemed like lazy workmanship that could have potentially caused a fire or possibly fried devices that were hooked up to those circuits.

I had a 30 year old, old electric coil cooktop, that tripped a fuse and stopped working. I decided to upgrade to a new flat surface cooktop. The electrician came out, and installed the new one to perfection. I also had some trouble with the power in my garage that they helped me with. I have nothing bad to say - 5 stars all the way.
I just moved to Gig Harbor and I yelped and searched for a good electrician. Well I found couple electricians I called two of them one was Birch and one was narrows Electric wow I guess they are so busy they can't call back so I call George's they were awesome I forgot the guys name he may of been my age60 plus

These guys are amazing! I had an electrical issue in the house, the breakers kept tripping , I checked the outlets and the codes indicated serious issues. I called 8 electricians and nobody would come and check it out.
I called Georges and they sent someone out the same day, he was there for an hour and fixed the issue.
This is a top notch business!!

I needed a dryer outlet replaced in my house. I had some scheduling challenges on my end and in spite of that George's Electric was able to accommodate. Melissa and Cherie were very friendly and helpful over the phone. The electrician, Joe, was very friendly and efficient!! I hope to use them again!!
Not open on weekend (no one was) but fit me into schedule when no one else called me back..still working on finding my electrical problem...this is going to be expensive will post more when we locate the issue. Took 2 hours to find and fix problem but he was thorough and informative. Shorts in outlets where they had used the push wire into outlet feature instead of connecting wires the manual way. Under $400 so glad to have power in all of my house again.
