I had them come out to change a light switch that took about 5 mins and had them take a look at re-wiring my home and was charged $243. They failed to tell me that having an electrician do the ""free"" estimate was actually over $150. They have also not returned my calls or responded to my email. Too bad they nickel and dime me became they lost out on rewiring my whole home. I will now use the competitors and tell them the story.

I had a long list of small jobs. Most electricians were too busy to bother with it. I called Gill's and was pleasantly surprised. The person I spoke to was extremely helpful and was able to schedule an appointment just a few days out. The electrician, James Hamilton, was the best electrician I have ever used. Knew exactly how to approach the jobs, was very professional, and extremely efficient. He completed the job in much less time that I anticipated, and left no mess behind.

If only there were 6 stars. I have used Gill's Electric for 6 years now, spanning two homes, and each time I have called on them I have been increasingly impressed with their skill, professionalism, reliability, and customer service (also: this review is long overdue!). I have used Gill's to install light fixtures in both of my homes--and still gratefully remember the patience of the electrician as he carefully unwrapped and hung each individual crystal of the chandelier I had ordered for my first home. They have also come to fix faulty outlets, and just recently went over the top for me when I made an after hours consultation call. They talked me through my questions, even gave me a call back number after hours if I needed more help, and fit me into their booked schedule the very next day to resolve the issue.

I mean, seriously. If you typed ""electrician"" in the search bar, congratulations! You're home. Call Gill's.

Called Gill's when our main breaker broke. It was expensive, 2 hour emergency rate minimum plus parts- but the technician James H. was early for the appointment, friendly, and replaced the breaker within 10 minutes.

I highly recommend Gill's Electric Co. James installed several new light fixtures and outlets, and Marco came on a follow-up call to install some additional new outlets. Both James and Marco were highly professional, efficient, communicative, and pleasant. We will definitely call Gill's Electric Co again when we need electrical work done.

Called Gill's on Monday and Balinda was a great help in scheduling. Even called me a few days before to see if I was available for an earlier appointment.
Had James Hamilton from Gill's out this morning to help us fix a few minor electrical issues. He called to say he was on his way, was courteous and super fast. He fixed everything and helped me understand what he did. Based on this experience, I will call them again next time I need an electrician.

James came by and did a really fantastic job. Something that I thought was so complicated on one of our industrial machines, he made seem so easy, and was finished really quickly! Really great to have a good electrician around.

Had an urgent problem. Called at 8AM. James came over at 10:10AM. He had fixed everything by 10:40AM. James was fantastic - professional, very experienced (I think he said over 30 years), friendly and courteous. I would call him/this company again anytime!!!!

I had an electrical switch failure and called Gill's to schedule a repair. The receptionist was great and James Hamilton came out the same day to resolve the problem. He also educated me about an aspect of the switch I didn't know, making me glad I didn't attempt to do the repair myself. I've used Gill's a couple of times in the past and have always had excellent and professional service from them.

I had a list of 5 things to do at my home that were small projects. I called Gill's Electric and Belinda the dispatcher was awesome. James Hamilton came over and fixed everything quickly and easily. I highly recommend James Hamilton and Gill's.
