It is surprisingly difficult to get requests for service, yet Silco is responsive and easy to communicate with. I had a fantastic experience when a Silco employee came to my home. The gentleman was friendly, performed the job quickly, and left no mess behind. Additionally the quality of service is superb. The price is a little high, but it is well worth it for the attention to detail and expertise that comes with Silco. read more

Silco Electric did a great job. Adam Silverman was professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. The work was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail. You can tell he takes pride in doing things the right way. Highly recommend Silco Electric. read more

Silco is great and highly responsive. Adam always responds quickly, is very knowledgeable and makes sure to clearly explain what any problem is. read more

Based on reviews I hired Adam to install cameras and lighting around the outside of my house. Some of the technicians he sent were incompetent and others made me feel uncomfortable. One asked to use my bathroom and spent at least 1/2 in there. This was weird and made me very uncomfortable. However, I did not complain. What I did complain about having problems with the lighting and the cameras not working properly. I contacted Adam several times. He was clearly uninterested in helping me. It was expensive and the quality of the work was poor. Once it was done and Adam was paid he was uninterested it customer satisfaction. I was very disappointed in this company and I do not recommend them. If you look at my reviews you will see I have very rarely left a negative review on anyone. read more

Adam is fantastic. He's courteous, on time, professional, and most importantly, he's an excellent electrician. He is also practical and cognizant of avoiding unnecessary expenses. Highly recommended. read more

Adam is great!! Most friendly, understanding and most accommodating! He and his team are very professional. Adam personally came after business hours to address and fix my electrical issues. I have used them multiple times now and highly recommend them! Thanks Silco! read more

Nearly nine years after I moved to my house, I still call Adam every time I have a need, and always get the same responsiveness, and meticulous and complete work. In the coming years I will have a larger scale project with indoor/outdoor components, and fully intend to use Silco Electric when the time comes. I never hesitate to recommend them when someone asks either. Still consider myself lucky that I found them as soon as I moved in! read more

I'm glad I found Silco after trying multiple other electricians in the area. Sometimes they cost a touch more than I would hope, but I keep hiring them because Adam is very personable over the phone, and their guy Mark keeps doing a great job. The first project I used them for was to remove a window unit exhaust fan that the previous homeowners had installed in the ground floor bathroom window, which was poorly done & caused a draft that made us avoid that bathroom during the winter. Mark installed a new fan in the ceiling, and ran the vent pipe through the ceiling to a new vent he cut into the brick. He was clean and courteous. Since then I have had Silco install both interior and exterior lights, rewire outlets and switches, and help fix recessed lights in my basement ceiling. They'll be out again in a couple of weeks for a few new items, and I'll be looking forward to giving them my list. read more

Great service! Our fuse box hot lug started sparking(very not good) we called them to help us. They immediately addentified the issue and were very courteous and pantient with all my novice questions haha. Turns out we needed to replace the fuse box unit and they went out of their way to get it done the same day, so we could have our hot water again. Thanks again guys! Hopefully no one has to deal with issues like ours but if you do I can definitely recommend these guys! read more

I had a great experience with Silco Electric (Adam) and would highly recommend them. The details: I needed 2 ceiling fans to be installed in my loft apartment. One fan in a loft area of my apartment 20 feet off the ground and the other in the bedroom area. I reached out to several contractors in the DC area and Silco Electric was the first to call me back. Adam was very friendly and helpful over the phone, compared to the other people I reached out to, and was very open to talking through my job and giving a quick estimate. His quote was better than others offered and he was able to give several pricing options depending on the complexity of the job. This was a breath of fresh air compared to other contractors I spoke with who wanted to charge me a fee to come evaluate the job before giving an estimate. Adam arrived on time for the job and did a great work with the install. The fans I had were industrial fans (to go with the look of the condo), but had non-standard fan controls. Adam was thorough in giving an assessment of what we should do to install the fans, which made me feel comfortable we were making the right decisions. He did a great job with the install. Especially getting 20 feet off the ground to install the fan in the loft area. Other contractors didn't have ladders tall enough for the job and needed to bring in a lift (lots more $$$), but Adam had the right ladder for the job. Finally, when he needed a remote fan control he didn't have on him he offered to come back the next day and didn't ask to be paid until the whole job was done. I'm very happy with my 2 ceiling fans and would definitely work with Adam again. read more

See all

We recently had Silco Electric install recessed lighting in our home, This was the 3rd or 4th time we've used their services. First off, Adam and his entire team are always reachable and prompt when scheduled for work. They are reliable, trustworthy, and do impressive work - our recessed lighting turned out amazing! During the process of installation, SILCO unfortunately identified some seperate electrical issues caused by different contractors in our home that were a major safety concern. Adam and his entire team onsite that day were beyond professional, staying to ensure that issues caused by others were properly handled. They explained in great detail the circumstances, the issues, the safety concerns, and quickly identified resolutions to all issues they discovered. They shifted their schedule to spend more time on our project to ensure that all issues (again not caused by them) were properly fixed (repairing damaged wires, inspecting outlets, etc.) and were thorough in their inspection. Team member Mark was extremely knowledgeable and patient when explaining the issues and fixes to us - having this level of communication and transparency helped to alleviate a lot of our stress and fears. The SILCO team went above and beyond in ensuring our safety, and we feel so grateful for their expertise. It is a huge relief knowing previous issues we were oblivious to have been properly resolved. My wife and I highly recommend SILCO for any and all electrical needs. read more

Adam from Silco was absolutely amazing. He was able to fix a double tapped breaker for us, and was very professional.

Adam and his team are the best! They've been helping me for years and always do a tremendous job.

I needed some outside electric work done after a winter storm. They were prompt replying to me, easy to deal with, and friendly once on the job. And I'm real happy with the job they did. read more

We've used Silco before and we happy with the service. This time, not much! We had several things that needed attention. We had problems with lights not working and then going on for a time and off. So naturally, we were concerned about electric shorts and possible fires. One of the men banged on the walls. The lights came on but he did not check the wiring at the fixture or the light switch. He never went into one of the rooms we wanted checked. The "assistant" made a rude comment out loud, which was heard by my daughter and husband. We will not use them again. read more

We have used Silco on a number of occasions for various electrical issues including maintenance, installation, repairs, etc. at our busy restaurant/bar in Dupont Circle. They are on time, thorough and they get the job done. One thing is that they are very busy because of this good service so it can sometime be a while to get an appointment, but there's a reason for that....see the other reviews...thanks Adam. read more

I've used Silco for two separate light installations and they've been fantastic. Adam is super responsive and Marc was friendly, reliable, and did a great job with both installations. Silco was recommended to me by a friend and I've recommended them to several friends as well. They're wonderful! read more

Outstanding service. Owner and assistant solved a complex wiring issue in a 60-year old house. Involved a 4-way switch (light controlled by 3 switches) that did not work. These two figured it out. Personable, competent, and responsive. Recommed highly. read more

Based on personal recommendations, I hired Adam Silverman to do various tasks, including installing a Nest Thermostat.  Long story, short: Adam is NOT a licensed electrician and his faulty work resulted in $100s increase in my utility bills over a single month and required me to hire another licensed professional to fix the mess he caused.  He incorrectly wired my thermostat such that when the temperature fell below the setting, BOTH by furnace and air conditioning unit turned on, causing an enormous spike in my utility bills, wear on both of my systems, and my house to be colder and drier than it should have been. Hire him at your own risk.  He is inexperienced, over-confident, and not licensed by the state of Maryland to do the work he advertises. After I discovered the depth of the problem he caused by wiring my thermostat incorrectly, and had it fixed by another company, I contacted Adam to see if he would like to address the issue since his website advertises 100% customer satisfaction.  He was defensive and eventually offered only a small refund of his services (less than a third of what he charged me, which was $250 for just over an hour's work, and $100s below my actual financial losses caused by his faulty work).  I declined the refund. read more

Super responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Adam was able to help me diagnose my issue over the phone and rescued me from losing another night's sleep over the incessant beeping of my electrical devices. I would definitely use Silco Electric again. read more

I'm so glad I found Silco Electric! Over the years, there have been several times that I have needed emergency assistance with electrical issues and Adam has bent over backwards to stop by (sometimes after hours or in between appointments) to help solve the problem. Adam and his team have installed all of the lighting in both my personal residence and retail business. He came recommended through a friend and did such a great job the first time that we've been using him ever since. He is super knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, and responsive. His pricing is reasonable to the point that I generally round up feeling like he provided way more service than he charged me for...especially in comparison to our previous electrician. I haven't written a ton of reviews on Yelp but when I meet a small business owner like Adam who goes above and beyond for their clients, I like to spread the word. He doesn't disappoint! read more

I called him since he had many good yelp reviews and he did call me back but I didn't hire him because Adam Silveman is NOT A LICENSED MASTER ELECTRICIAN with the state of Maryland (when I checked in July 2017). read more

Got several bids to replace a chandelier in my two-story foyer. Hired Silco. The whole process went very well. Several email contacts with the shop to get an estimate and then make and reschedule the appointment. Two pleasant and competent guys showed up on time. They were the low-cost bidder (via email) and did the work for the agreed price (plus $10 for a new junction box) and cleaned up afterwards. (Some bids were more than twice as much.) Quite a bit of labor for a good price. read more

Adam is very professional and does beautiful work. He aims to please and gets the work done in an efficient manner. He's also quick to notice things that aren't quite "right" such as Harry Homeowners incorrectly installed outlets and crossed wires. I also had a dryer problem where the fuse kept tripping. I had a service call lined up with Sears but Adam asked "What's up with the dryer?" Adam saw the problem immediately and prevented a possible fire in the making. Cancelled the dryer service. read more

I met Adam five years ago. I had bought my first house and wanted to replace some porch light fixtures. He helped with that, but he also rewired it so that we could take down the ugly cable that ran across the top. He listened to what I wanted, and then quickly figured out how to make it happen. Since then, I have only used Adam for electrical work. He has great attention to detail, is reliable, and his prices are great. I have recommended him to all of my neighbors-he is great! read more

Adam is seriously amazing! I called him to repair three outdoor lights, and in the process he was also able to remove an existing (incredibly ugly) power cord that had been virtually stapled to the front of the house. The best part, when he gave me one option to remove the power cord, and I said I wasn't a fan, he took the time to figure out a different solution to the problem, and then worked quickly to complete the job. Plus, he's nice too boot. Highly recommend. read more

I met Adam through my employer and whenever he was at the office fixing, installing, or anything electrical related he was always very friendly and according to my employer was fair on price. I decided to give Adam and Silco Electric a try at my own home and he didn't disappoint. The work done was professional and done right the first time. Adam was always on time (if not a few minutes early) and I can't speak highly enough of him and Silco Electric. I would absolutely recommend Adam and Silco Electric to anyone who is looking for a fair priced, dependable, and trustworthy electrician. read more

Knowledgeable, personable, on time, and very reasonable pricing. We won't be looking for another electrician- Adam and Brian do excellent work and leave the area cleaner than they found it. 4 rooms down and we will surely have Adam's hand in fixing the wiring or adding lighting in every room in our house in due time! read more

Adam Silverman has done both personal and commercial work for me. Not only are his prices too low but his professionalism is beyond. Never leaves a mess and work is beyond. His only problem is his fees are too low read more

So I am pretty picky when it comes to reviews and I usually don't give them. However, I have had very good experiences whenever I deal with Silco Electric and felt compelled to write a short review. They are prompt, courteous, customer service oriented and do very professional work! I use Silco Electric for all of my electrical needs. read more

Silco Electric came to fix some shoddy work from a different electrician and I am so impressed! They were so friendly, professional and even offered to carry in a rug for me that was delivered on my porch. They insisted they carry it upstairs for me. Originally they were just coming to fix a faulty light switch but they also offered to fix a chandelier that had been installed incorrectly. I will definitely be using Silco Electric again! read more

This company is honest and hard working and they did a wonderful job on my very small residential project.

Great service! Very responsive and always professional. We have used Adam at Silco for years and will continue to use him for all of our electrical needs. read more

Adam came highly recommended and did a great job, very explanatory. Delivered good news when it was warranted and the estimate came down as a result. Checked out the panel, corrected wiring in several outlets, volunteered new metal plates to replace loose plastic ones, and fixed the GFCI. Full disclosure - my first contractor in the house. read more

I highly recommend Adam. He did an excellent job installing recessed lights and fixtures at my new condo. I couldn't be happier with the results! read more

Adam is extraordinary. As a real estate broker it is extremely important to me to find someone who can get the job done correctly, efficiently, and communicate well with my clients. Adam is first rate as are the people who work with him. His pricing reflects his commitment to extremely strong customer service and very good work. I would recommend him wholeheartedly without hesitation to anybody looking for a quality job. read more

Will never use anyone else. Great job on a difficult (for me but not for Adam and his crew) TV install and double duplex plug install. Arrived on time for the quote and the appointment, clearly explained the work their approach, and did a great job. Also just all around nice people. Can't say enough about Silco. Will be using them a bunch more in the coming months. Thanks guys! read more

Knowledgeable and best priced punctual electrician you could find in the area. Hired 3 times in the past for different jobs, all done flawlessly. read more

I've been working with Adam over the past six years! Adam is professional, knowledgeable, on time, and provides the GREATEST Services! I am a designer and very picky.... Adam met all of my needs and delivered wonderful services! I recommend Adam and I can't speak highly enough of him. If you are looking to have a magnificent, clean and pro job with a fair price, I highly recommend Adam! read more

I found Silco through a recommendation I saw NextDoor. Adam installed a light fixture in my stairwell and did a great job. He was on time. In and out in less than an hour. Fair price. I plan on using them again soon. read more
