We contracted with GSW to fix several electrical safety, code, and convenience issues in our house. George came by initially at no charge to give us an estimate and see the scope of the work to be done. George is experienced, friendly, and very helpful, even pointing out things I could repair on my own if I wanted to. One reason I chose them is that they post all of their electrician's license numbers on their website, making it easy to search the Better Business Bureau and the Montgomery County departmenut of licensing for any complaints. They have no complaints on record. Another reason I decided to work with them is that although they are based in Mount Airy, they also list on their website the range of neighborhoods where they ordinary do work, so I knew I wouldn't be wasting their time asking for an estimate too far away.
Yesterday George and his assistant Chris came first thing in the morning so they could finish the entire list of projects in one day. George and Chris are excellent electricians, answering whatever questions I had, and actively seeking my opinion on esthetic aspects, such as switch placement and outlet type. Their experience showed best when dealing with the most tangled wiring in the house from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Their professionalism extended from an emphasis on safety all the way to having a dropcloth and a broom when they had to enlarge holes in the plaster wall. Both George and Chris showed experience with high voltage, they installed a whole-house surge protector in the main fuse panel. George and Chris finished in mid afternoon and left the house swept clean and had disposed of all wire and insulation cut offs.
GSW Electric is now my firt choice for anything electric that needs repair or installation. I give them my unaualified recommendation. Besides being well qualified and licensed, both George and Chris obviously love their jobs, and I don't think you could ask for more than that. read more
