I posted a query for HVAC service and got lots of responses from 5 providers. Gilbert Enterprise and Martin G from DAN'S HVAC AND PLUMBING LLC did the work promptly and answered my questions while diagnosing the problem quickly. My system was back up in no time. read more

May be good at other things, but do not higher him for HVAC replacement. He installed a unit in our house that was too large and hot for the size of our house and the space available for the furnace. After 4 years the heat exchange cracked and we're so lucky it was found before there was a fire. When contacted about the issue he did not ever respond to us. read more

Gilbert Enterprise LLC was in a paid contract with me for MANY YEARS for HVAC seasonal service and system replacement obligatory agreement. Suddenly beginning in October 2024, without any company notification of closure, they stopped responding to my phone calls, texts, and emails for typical service needs. I continued to reach out to this business for many months - even directly calling and leaving messages to the owner's direct cell number, (Martin Gilbert) who has never responded up through May or June 2025! The main numbers I had fors the company all ring once and disconnect now. I've paid them monthly since approximately 2017-ish only to be rudely ghosted! Try to support some businesses and this is the end result #@%!!! read more

Martin did a fantastic job installing a transfer switch to connect our GoalZero Yeti 3000X battery system to our electrical panel - this allows the Yeti to power devices on up to four circuits during an outage. Martin and Gilbert were excellent in their communications in the lead up to the job and gave advanced warning of when Martin would be coming by (on time). The job went smoothly and there was no disruption to our day-to-day activities. Moreover, the cost seemed very reasonable. I'm glad to hear that Martin/Gilbert provide several other services, including heat pump installations - look forward to hiring them again! read more

Updated review - Gilbert doesn't fulfill obligations when a permit is required for work to be done according to law. If you have work that needs to be done with a permit, find someone else. The electrician is the only one who can apply for the permit, not the homeowner, but you are on the hook when they do the work without getting the permit first. Make sure you have a permit in hand before you let anyone touch your home. Gilbert refuses to even respond to requests via email, phone or registered mail. Save yourself the headache, time and money. Funny how Mr. Gilbert posts in LinkedIn about not getting paid by a business he did work for, and expects timely payment and fairness. We paid for the work on our home - where's the fairness and good business practices you expect from others Mr. Gilbert? read more

I put out a bid on Yelp for work late on a Sunday after realizing I had fried an electrical outlet and overexerted the circuit (I know, I know...in my defense the outlet is in a closet and out of plain sight, but lesson learned) - leaving me both a bit worried and also eager to get it resolved being Thanksgiving week. They were able to book me for 9am the next day (Monday!) From initial inquiry and messaging on Yelp, which was professional, prompt and direct, to the appointment confirmation email + text feature, tracking notification to monitor my technician's journey to my place, arrival and professionalism of Milo + Chris (I think that was his name!) to the post-appointment correspondence and invoicing, I am SO happy I found this company. They worked efficiently, were super tidy and also were just generally good guys whose goal was to leave my place with everything as it should be, no matter how long it took. I read so many reviews for Electricians and Gilbert Enterprise's reviews were all super consistent (and positive). My dad is my typical handyman for all things, but with COVID, it's been a forcing function to find reliable vendors as he is now out of state living his best life at the beach (ha!) Before the guys left, I had them take measurements for three more projects at my place. Their pricing is upfront and fair and simply put - they are good people. I will be using them going forward for all my electrical needs! read more

As everyone has mentioned Martin is fantastic. He gave us great advice when it came to our heating system. He is definitely a pro! Thanks so much read more

They were very helpful in helping me figure out why the electricity in our new home master bedroom wasn't working. Although it was the most easy answer and simple, I was happy that they were very nice in not making us feel foolish for not knowing about the light switch in the closet and the fee was reasonable. Would definitely use again. read more

Everyone at Gilbert Enterprise really cares about the customer. From fast response times to great prices, working with the company this past week has been wonderful! I didn't have heat for a couple of weeks and it was getting cold out. They troubleshooted and fixed my issue the next day. So happy with their service. I will be a repeat customer. read more

We had a very good experience with this company. Scheduling was fast and efficient. Romiro and Chris arrived on time and went down our list task by task. They labeled our panel, fixed broken outlets - including replacing a few GFCIs, installed a light fixture, and helped us identify which circuits were overloaded. They worked around us and cleaned up after themselves before they left. Company called to confirm our satisfaction and billing was done via an emailed invoice. We will definitely use this company again in the future. read more

Martin from Gilbert Enterprises offered superb service recently and I really can't thank him enough for resolving my electrical issue. He was prompt, quickly diagnosed the issue and followed up quickly once the required part had been ordered and received. He and the team even went the extra mile to quickly add me back to their existing schedule so that the part could be installed. They are now permanently in my phone as my go to and preferred. electrician/hvac company. read more

Another excellent referral thanks to Yelp business quotes! Gilbert Enterprise was prompt, thorough, and affordable. Martin was a lovely tech and my husband and I had nothing but good experience with him. I appreciated how the business gave frequent updates on Martin's arrival time within the 2 hour window we were given. Martin helped to troubleshoot a relatively new LG dryer that has been giving us issues, as well as an HVAC issue. Definitely saving Gilbert Enterprise in my contacts and will call on them again for future needs! Highly recommend. read more

Wonderful service! One of our circuits burned out. I called Martin, who immediately sent his ace electrician Jeremiah to investigate. Jeremiah located the problem and within a few moments the lights were back on. Once again Gilbert Enterprise came through and saved the day! read more

I picked Martin Gilbert and Gilbert Enterprises based on the Yelp Reviews - and I was right to do so! I am a real estate agent and had a buyer under contract on a house. The home inspection turned up some potential HVAC issues and I needed a good HVAC company quickly. Mr. Gilbert came the same day and spent almost 2 hours diagnosing the home's HVAC problems and giving my buyer and me an idea of what the cost would be to replace a furnace, AC unit, and the coils in another furnace. I found Mr. Gilbert to be really thorough and great diagnostician. He explained everything to us in clear terms, and if (when) we did not fully understand, he patiently explained it again until we understood the problems in the system and the different ways to solve them. I will certainly use Gilbert Enterprises again when I need more information on a home's HVAC system for a client. And I would urge anyone with an HVAC problem to use Gilbert Enterprises to fix the problems - as I did with my buyer. read more

Martin replaced our central air conditioning unit. It was a bit of a tricky job because he had to order a crane to put the outdoor unit on the roof. They brought along two portable AC units to make sure we were comfortable while they were working on it. Initially the unit didn't work correctly--it was a hot July day and the AC couldn't get the temperature down to 72 degrees. It took two follow-up service calls to get it working--eventually he figured out that the intake tube had been crushed and so the unit couldn't get enough air. I'm giving Martin five stars because he worked through the weekend to make sure the issue got resolved. He also let us keep the temporary AC units while he was working on the problem to maximize our comfort. read more

The worst ever his team can't be trusted. All valuable items need to be under lock and key because it will end up missing. Gilbert will take your money and not follow up on his promises to make things right if he made a mistake on the installation. read more

Handled my EV charging station installation quickly and effectively. Was able to provide me an accurate quote using photographs I supplied. Will be using again for my electrical needs. read more

I reached out to various electricians as I needed a few projects done at our house. I had a phenomenal experience with Gilbert Enterprises; they installed TWO outdoor motion lights, TWO pendant lights in our master bedroom and a ChargePoint EV charger in our garage. The work was done so well that we didn't require ANY drywall repair - I am still in awe of this :). The communication was exemplary, the work was great and we are satisfied AND are already planning on additional work. read more

We used this company again. This time to change out ceiling fans in two rooms, install two electrical outlets, and install pendant lights in two bedrooms and over the kitchen sink. They did a wonderful job and are the tidiest contractors we've ever had in our house. They are respectful of your space and of noise control. We were working from home and never felt disrupted or an excess of noise at all. Very friendly. Arrived on time. Very minimal drywall to be repaired. And the price is reasonable. They are our go-to company for all electrical work. Capt read more

Martin was great! He came by the house and replaced the doorbell transformer same day!!! The pricing was also awesome. He also will be coming by to fix the furnace to make it compatible with the Nest doorbell. Thank you so much for coming by on such short notice and I will for sure be contacting you again for all my Electrician/HVAC needs! -Richard read more

Had them come in and upgrade my electrical panel and Nema 14-50 outside. Great competitive rate. Will be using them for all our electrical needs moving forward. read more

Martin was great! He was right on time, gave us a thorough report on our AC unit, suggested helpful hints to keep our AC running properly.

i ordered a new stove and over the range microwave for my mom as a surprise over the holidays. i initially requested an install from Best Buy for just the stove, as the appliances were ordered from there & had arranged for our current electrician to come by the next day to install the microwave. Best Buy came early in the morning to deliver but was ultimately (1) not only unable to install the stove as our former stove was hardwired but also (2) unable to haul away the old appliances. the kitchen was a huge mess. i needed an electrician asap. i wanted my mom's surprise to be perfect -- i didn't want new appliances without an install. i frantically started looking up highly-rated electricians in the area and contacted a few as my electrician wasn't available. Gilbert not only responded so quickly but was willing to come by the same day to provide a consultation. i didn't know if a consultation meant that he could work on it then and there so i was reluctant to have him come by. however, i set up an appointment for him to stop by within the next 2 hours. he called to tell me he was running late (was only 5 minutes, really) and, long story short, he did a quick and thorough assessment of the situation, provided his recommendations/solutions at a *very* reasonable price. prior to Gilbert, i called around a few electricians in the month before to see how much it would cost to install an over the range microwave when there is no outlet in the cabinet above. Gilbert's price was unbeatable and, in retrospect, i am so glad Best Buy couldn't install the stove as I was able to get both the stove and microwave installed at once. Gilbert came and immediately went to home depot to get the supplies and went straight to work. i've been very interested in DIY home projects and all the intricacies & details of a home's interior. i asked a lot of questions while he was working related to A/C, lighting, & etc., and he was more than willing to share his knowledge of his craft. Gilbert finished in about 4 hours - i ended up getting both the stove and microwave installed. SAME. DAY. SERVICE. i couldn't be more thankful. my mom came home from work that night and you should've seen the smile on her face! she would've been ecstatic either way with / without an install over her new appliances but Gilbert, thank you *so much* for your efforts that day; it meant a lot and was so appreciated by our family. i recommend Gilbert without any reservations. definitely consider him if you're looking for a reliable, affordable and swift electrician! read more

I must say very fair price. Our bathroom light wasn't working and needed him for a consultation. It was an easy fix and didn't charge me at all. Especially after he drove all the way from DC to Clinton, MD at 7pm. I needed an outside outlet installed and only charged $150, needed a light installed in my downstairs closet and charged $110, then needed a hanging light (approx 13 ft high) and only charged $200. Very nice guy, mild tempered. He even shortened the length on our light to properly hang it, which he didn't have to do. He went above and beyond!!! Definitely recommend! 10/10! read more

Unfortunately, I have to admit I am pretty disappointed with the follow up. Several outlets were not working after a big project and a overhead lamp installation was supposed to be done and never happened. I feel that when I call Martin now, he is no longer interested in my business ... make sure to verify that everything works once the job completed. I hate writing reviews under 4 stars but I was completely ignored by Gilbert enterprise on numerous occasions. read more

Gilbert Enterprise is fast, efficient and extremely reliable. When all other electricians were quoting me outlandish prices for a job I needed done, Gilbert Enterprises did it for a reasonable price and did a fantastic job as well. They are not your second rate company just trying to make money off a customer. They take pride in what they do and their customer service is phenomenal. Not only would I recommend them for anyone looking for the services they provide, I plan on utilizing them for all my future electrical needs! read more

My dining room lights went out unexpectedly and I needed an electrician. Not knowing where to turn, I went on to Yelp and put out a request for estimates in my area. Gilbert was one of the companies that got back to me. I chose them since their prices were the most reasonable. They charged me $150 for a consultation whereas other companies that responded started around $200. They were prompt too in their response and able to come within a few days. In the end, my lights got fixed, but the electrician did inform me that eventually I'll need to replace my entire fixture. read more

Very Unprofessional: I called on Saturday. They came on Sunday. He said I need a new water heater and everything would Cost me $600 and installation Wednesday .... He didn't get back Sunday or Monday as promised ... I call Tuesday and he asks for my email to send me prices for water heaters- why when he's already said his would include a water heater and install for $600 When I finally get a call back Tuesday he said he won't be able to install for $600 . Now I'm confused and upset I've wasted 3 days with a leaking puddle at my water heater and he tries to turn it around and say I have an attitude, c'mon really? #StickWithYourWord read more

I am signing the praises of this company, especially the technician Martin. I had an ongoing gas leak that I'd hired another company to resolve (___&Son). After 2 weeks and a whole lot of wasted money, there was still a gas smell. When I called Gilbert Enterprises and explained my tale of woe, Martin went out of his way to rearrange his schedule to do the job ASAP. He found the source of the problem in less than an hour and completed the work quickly at a fair price. He was friendly, sympathetic and competent. He even sent a handyman the next day to repair the drywall. I highly recommend Gilbert Enterprises and will definitely use them again for any gasline, hvac, electrical or other mechanical work. read more

This review is overdue, and I apologize for that. These gentlemen were the absolute BEST! They were professional, courteous, and most importantly, extremely reliable! They gave me an honest quote on my a/c, which was leaking onto the carpeted basement floor. Subsequently, there was water backup into the unit, and a bit of mold had set in. These guys showed up, gave me a detailed description and diagnosis. They came back, fixed the unit, along with other issues that were the result of the contractor taking shortcuts. The prices quoted were what I paid - no hidden fees...no "um ma'am, we're gonna have to add..." nope! They did exactly what they said, and were extremely careful to keep the area clean and tidy upon completion of the project. I will not be using any other team than Gilbert Enterprise LLC. Trust me, you cannot go wrong with this team! I'm extremely satisfied! Thank you again, for a very positive experience. read more

If you are looking for a trustworthy, punctual, respectful, and professional electrician look no further. Martin was such a pleasure to work with, explained everything to me, walked me though their process, was honest with pricing, and even kept their pricing very competitive. At the end of the day I decided to trust Martin and his team and I couldn't be any happier with the results. Thank you so much Martin and everyone over at Gilbert Enterprises! read more

This review is mostly about Shenel, but she's the office manager that you have to get through to contact Martin. I emailed about an EV charger installation and Martin sent a quote through Shenel. I emailed Shenel to accept and asked if there was anything else necessary before the appointment. No response. Day of, no one shows up. I call the number and Martin asks if I paid the deposit and filled out the paperwork, neither of which Shenel sent me. Martin comes by to start the project but then has to leave and can't come back that day. So he comes back the next day to finish it and because there's additional wire needed, charges me extra(~15% of the cost). But when he enters it into the system it double charges me. I contact Shenel the next week and she says she'll investigate. She figures out the double charge and says she will refund me. A month later, no refund so I check in again. She says she'll look into it. Two weeks later I try again and she says she'll look into it. Two weeks later I try again and she doesn't even respond. Martin is great, but Shenel essentially stole $150 from me. read more

When I was without power for 3 days, Gilbert Enterp. told me they were filing paperwork with Pepco to get my problem fixed. Two more days went by and when I asked for a copy of the paperwork, they stopped returning my calls. Would not allow me to talk to a manager and charged me $600 for their time. Now I was 5 days without power, down $600 and starting over. Martin does seem to be talented but there are serious integrity issues at this company, stay clear. read more

I have used Gilbert Enterprises for more than a year now, at two different houses. He is honest, thorough, and delivers high quality work (he is a perfectionist!) and on time, every time. I couldn't give a higher recommendation. read more

Martin Gilbert does fantastic work at a good price. He's done some fine electric installation work on our old house and recently he solved a major problem with our HVAC system too. There was a big temperature difference between the first and second floor and he quickly diagnosed the problem with our first floor vents. His relatively inexpensive solution fixed the issue. No upselling or deliberate technical confusion - he gave us an honest answer and a good explanation, and a week later he implemented a quick, practical fix. He's very responsive with estimates and questions and his prices are reasonable compared to the competition. He's a super nice guy and he knows his stuff! read more

I spent a lot of time combing through many reviews for HVAC providers, my time investment paid off, I am so glad that I chose Gilbert Enterprises! I cannot say enough about the positive experience I had with the service I just received from owner Martin Gilbert. Martin showed up on time (early in fact!) and was fast, efficient and extremely reliable. I found Martin to be extremely knowledgeable about HVACs and was patient and walked me through everything that he was doing and why for every step of the way. It was highly educational. I liked knowing that this is a family owned outfit and not an enormous operation. Martin was exactly right when he diagnosed the two main problems which made my AC unit only blow out warm air and neither one were that significant so I sincerely appreciate his honesty and fair pricing. He never upsold me, he did a careful job and takes great pride in what he does and he did a fantastic job as well. I highly recommend calling Gilbert Enterprises for anyone looking for the services they provide, I wish I had him take a look at my electrical as I have some projects on that front as well that I would like to use them for! You will get excellent (and kind!) service, quality and careful workmanship, professionalism, honesty, reliability and fair quotes. It does not get any better than this!!! Call them...you will thank me..(PS this is the first Yelp review I have done, the experience was worth making this effort!) read more
