You can trust these guys to be thorough and professional. They replaced old ""tube and post"" wiring as well as explaining and correcting many small details such as flickering lights, finicky breakers, etc., in a 100-year-old building. Excellent work.

We've had a range of experiences with electricians including one that turned off our electricity before even bothering to knock on the door. My experience with Gill's has been outstanding. In the office, Will and Victoria are super responsive, patient, and treated us like preferred customers from the start. In the field, Sergio is a highly-skilled electrician with great attention to detail, showed respect and care for our home, and delivers personable, friendly customer service.

Gill's electrician (David) furnished and installed 4 new electrical outlets, new HMDI cables behind walls, 9 recessed LED ceiling lights and trouble-shot/repaired malfunctioning patio lighting. Workmanship and efficiency was exemplary. Price for above services was very reasonable. Most importantly is that I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Gill's Electric will be my ""go-to"" for all future project. Gotta give major props again to David for a job well done.

It was easy to get an appointment for an estimate and then an appointment for service. Electrician was on time, polite, and competent. Not the cheapest around, but I felt I got value for the money I spent, and would definitely use them again.

I've used Gill's for years, expecting and getting excellent service. Recently I had an issue with some outside lighting that's critical because the City of Berkeley has never installed a street light on our block. As a result, the only lighting are my ""lamp posts"" and fence lights. The lamp posts went off during a brief power outage and wouldn't come back on. They're light sensitive, going on when it's dark and off when the sun comes up. It took 3 visits to fix a very quirky problem, but Gill's stayed on it and only charged me for one visit. I can't thank them enough or recommend them more highly. A special shout out to electrician Diego and dispatcher Victoria.

I had received a referral from a neighbor for Gill's and they did not disappoint. I started with a small project to install a new outlet, but was impressed, so decided to use them for a full re-wire job to remove old knob & tube wiring and install a new sub-panel. I got multiple quotes, and Gill's was reasonably priced and able to move quickly. My project manager was Will, and Denis was the lead Electrician. Denis and his team were always on time, extremely professional, and communicated well when asking questions and getting direction from me and my wife to make sure they were installing the circuits and new lighting to our liking. I would 100% recommend them to anyone doing a big or small job.

Gil's Electric's staff are professional, honest, and expedient. They've come to my rescue twice. The latest electrical problem was handled via telephone as Victoria, guided me to the electrical box and with a couple of switch flips, power returned. Excellent in-person and telephone service.

I requested an estimate at a building that I own but I was charged almost $250 by the company even though no estimate was provided. After several complaints they offered to refund the money and we came to an agreement that I would revise my review. I received a check a few weeks later so I am revising my review. I would advise that you not provide payment to this company before receiving the service requested.
