We found Gilmore Electric through the glowing reviews here on Yelp, and Bryan Gilmore absolutely lived up to every one of them -- so now we're happy to add our own. We had a substantial amount of work done: multiple indoor and outdoor installations and upgrades throughout the home over several days. From the very first appointment, Bryan was prompt, professional, and clearly knew his craft. Not once did he show up late -- a simple thing, but rare and deeply appreciated when you're rearranging your schedule around a contractor. What really set Bryan apart was his approach to the job. Rather than just running through the list, he took the time to walk us through our options and pointed out several cost-saving opportunities we never would have known to ask about. He was upfront and transparent every step of the way, and when all was said and done, he came in below his original quote. In today's world, that kind of honesty is worth its weight in gold. The quality of the work itself is excellent. Bryan was meticulous and careful -- not a single item in our home was damaged despite the scope of the project. And when he wrapped up each day, he cleaned up thoroughly. You'd barely know he'd been there, except for the upgraded home you're left with. If you're on the fence, let our experience push you over-- Hire Bryan Gilmore. You will not regret it. My highest possible recommendation. read more

Bryan has done several jobs at our home over the last few years. He first earned our trust by replacing our electrical panel. He had a process for completing the job efficiently and was done ahead of schedule. We've also had him install an outdoor fan, fan remotes, bathroom vent fan, recessed smart lighting, dimmer switch, and new GFCIs. He always provides pricing up front without me even having to ask. His work is flawless. His cleanliness is impeccable. His respect and care for our property is even better than my own. He texts when he's on his way. If he's supposed to be here at 8, I will see his truck out front by 7:55. Bryan is also great at explaining different options for fixing or improving things, as well as offering different solutions at different price points when he can. He has encouraged me to go with the simpler, cheaper fix when someone else might have tried to upsell me. He's also just a good guy who is easy to talk to and someone you can feel comfortable having in your home. When people tell me about some of the stuff they put up with from other contractors, I think, "If only they could meet someone like Bryan and realize they do not have to put up with that BS." The only drawback is that because he is so successful, it sometimes takes a few weeks to get on his schedule. But his work is so good that I would rather wait than go with someone else. read more

Gilmore Electric was recommended by a friend for whom he had replaced an electrical panel. I had issues with some electrical outlets that I hadn't gotten fixed for a long time, worrying about the cost. Bryan came in and found the problem very quickly, replaced one plug that was causing the problem for an entire circuit and, at my request, updated the bathroom outlets to the GFCI ones. He is so nice and so knowledgeable and the cost was much less than I expected. I highly recommend him. read more

Bryan and his son came and installed 2 of these Costco Artika fandeliers in our kids' rooms. They were fast, professional and so nice. Pricing was reasonable. Definitely will be using Gilmore Electric moving forward for any electrical jobs in our home. read more

I had several outlets inside and outside our house that weren't working and needed inspection. This father and son team showed up on time. They were friendly and honest. They took the time to explain how they were troubleshooting and what might be the problems with the outlets. They didn't end up having to do any actual repairs (they checked the breaker box and reset a couple of GFCI outlets) and didn't charge anything. I would definitely go straight to them the next time we need an electrician and highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Bryan ran additonal elecrical lines and installed high voltage outlets for wood working equipment in my Garage. He is detail and customer oriented, safety focused... does not cut corners... gave me peace of mind. He is a real pleasure to work with. Highly recommend him and his son. read more

Called Gilmore Electric and they promptly returned my call regarding installing a Ring Flood light. The owner stated it usually takes less than an hour so he cut his hourly rate in half which to me was remarkable in this day. He came out and was proactive to ensure the electricity was working appropriately. He and his son were very professional and approachable. I think we found our new electrician in Simi Valley. read more

I called Gilmore Electric, a local independent electrician, to help with my breaker. He came out, took care of the situation, and explained everything in a way that made sense. Not only did he resolve the issue, but I walked away much better understanding of how the system works too. Super honest, friendly and easy to work with I highly recommend. read more

I needed assistance with a basic outlet-sticking-out-of-wall issue and Bryan came out and fixed it right up! He had a look at a couple other things, was very informative and patient and didn't even charge for the call, even though I would've happily paid! Definitely will have him come out to do other electrical work when we have the need for it. read more

Bryan is excellent at what he does he explained to me what it is I needed and the best way to do it , and his Price was very fair.

Bryan is professional, personable, punctual and a true perfectionist. He installed an EV charger, replaced an outdated GFCI for my pool light and corrected and upgraded the old owner's DIY outlet to something that meets code and is actually safe. And in half a day, without inconvenience to me at all. Fast, clean and very fair pricing, very transparent on each item. Couldn't be happier with the results. Great to work with, and explained every step of the process, and answered all my questions with a smile. read more

I bought a home that needed some electrical updating. Bryan Gilmore (Gilmore Electric) was nothing short of AMAZING!! He was quick to respond to my initial request. His estimate and prices are good. He installed "can" lighting in several rooms, added garage lighting, added several electrical outlets so I can hang some TVs., cleaned up an electrical mess that I inherited, and installed an electrical outlet under the eves so I can plug in my Christmas lights. Before we stared and through the process, Bryan explained everything to me and kept me up to date. He was on-time for his appointments because it took a couple days. His knowledge is vast, lots of great ideas. His work is extremely professional and he cleaned up after himself. Bryan is a great family guy. I recommend him and will use him for future projects. read more

I don't do reviews often, that is unless the service is exceptional. Well, Gilmore Electric provided exceptional service. Remember back in the day, when you called to make an appointment and the person showed up? Bryan came out and gave me an estimate. He showed up this morning at 8:00 AM sharp, installed a new outlet and fixed an existing hazard. Old school pride and work ethic with this young man. Even came in less than originally quoted! I highly recommend Gilmore Electric!!! read more

I needed a light switch replaced and a ceiling fan remote receiver installed. Bryan called the day before my appointment and was available to come a day earlier. The fan was old and receiver couldn't be replaced. We scheduled another appointment to install a new fan. He went to Home Depot to purchase the new switch. He did not charge me for replacing the switch or for his time. He returned yesterday on time and replaced the fan. His cost was very reasonable. He is very professional and cleaned up before he left. I highly recommend Bryan! read more

I spoke to Brian today trying to book an appointment to inspect a few outlets that no longer had power to them. He was booked up but he took the time to walk me through a few trouble shooting solutions that resulted in me getting power back to those outlets in question.
