Had Curtis out to replace breaker, he was efficient and quick. I ask a few other related questions and he was knowledgeable and responded. He did not rush me but was respectful.

If I have other issues I plan to use them.

I cannot say enough good things about Chris Gilwee and his crew. Over the past six months he and his senior assistant, Curtis, have practically completely rewired our 1960's house, from changing the circuit box to new kitchen and bathroom wiring, outdoor lighting and everything in between. They now know every electrical outlet that exists on the property. They are true professionals, highly skilled, hard working and, most important in our situation, tolerant of the foibles of an old house and its eccentric wiring, finding solutions for the messiest problems. We have been completely happy with their work and highly recommend them.

I had Chris and his crew install a generator and run power to my spa a few months ago. They did a great job! They were on time, knew exactly what I needed to get the jobs done. They completely cleaned up after and explained how everything worked so I feel confident using the generator. I hadn't used my spa since and tried to fire it up yesterday. No power. My husband flipped breakers, still no power. I called Chris and he had the guys here in 20 minutes! Talk about fabulous service! I highly recommend them for anything electrical.Good job guys!

Chris Gilwee is the BEST electrician we've hired in 25 years. Smart, fast, timely, ethical, professional, reasonable. He immediately diagnosed our electrical panel issues, and solved them in one trip. Chris is the only electrician we will use for everything from now on. Highly recommended.

Gilwee Electric did a very nice job changing the electrical panel at our property. They kept us in the loop concerning scheduling with PG&E and made sure that the job was done correctly. The work was done in a timely manner and there were no surprises. Their pricing was very fair and Chris and his assistant Curtis are nice people. I will use this company again if I need electrical work done in the future.

Gilwee electric was by far one of the best contractors I've had while working on our home remodel. Chris came out, looked over my project gave me some great advice on what to do, and ultimately came out twice to complete our electrical needs. He and his assistant (I forgot his name but great too!) replaced a 30+ year old main panel, added multiple new circuits, added an outside fan hookup on our patio, an RV/ welder plug in my garage (and fixed it when I asked for the wrong plug!). I kept adding more and they happily added everything in for minimal cost. They came in on budget, on time, worked great together and will be my only electrician going forward! Thanks Chris!

Gilwee Electric is a Five Star electrician

Our main panel had a meltdown - the AC breaker had an electrical fire where it attached to the bus bar. After the fire department and PG&E left, we started looking for someone to replace the panel. Gilwee Electric stood out because they specialize in panel analysis and replacement in older houses (ours is 32 years old). We called and Chris called back promptly, and then came over to assess the repairs needed (obviously a complete panel replacement was required) and provided the plan and cost. An hour later parts were here and they began work. He and his helper worked all day long - including setting a subpanel because the existing panel was oversubscribed. We had everything running by the evening. I cannot tell you how much relief there is with a competent professional working on your electrical distribution! We were were totally rewarded by choosing Gilwee Electric.

We could not be happier with Gilwee Electric - we felt like we were a priority and Chris kept us up on status during the retrofit since little things came up relating to the age and wiring of the house. The solution was effective and well implemented. He recognized the miswiring of circuits and took the appropriate path for making that right. I have total confidence in the parts used and the installation. Chris has experience and a great work ethic. He's great at communicating what's going on and what's needed. I have total trust in his recommendations. Gilwee is now our go-to for anything electrical. They should be for you too.

We had an electrical problem in our home and Gilwee showed up the very next day.
We had lost power to a number of circuits and we couldn't find any problem. Gilwee technicians spent some time tracking the problem down. They found that the previous homeowner had mis-wired a circuit such that a wire was overheating and melting the insulation. This situation was potentially a source of fire that would have burned the house down,
Thank you Chris, your guys may have saved our lives.
Superb work. We will recommend you to everyone.

Chris Gilwee is a ""solutions"" guy. He has performed work for me on 3 separate homes over the past 5 years, and I've referred him with confidence to another 3-4 friends/associates who all were pleased. He simply gets down to business.

Chris is also up-to-date in his business methods, unlike some contractors who simply can't find time or tools to send a readable quote, a timely invoice or an intelligible message/text.

It can be difficult to find a tradesman who has it all: local, competent, congenial and communicative. Chris is the man.
