Recommended Customer Reviews

Gary and his crew have done two jobs for me. They replaced my entire electrical panel as it was outdated and dangerous. They also just installed a 240 V charging station in my garage. Gary responded quickly to my desire for a quote. He showed up in a timely fashion for all of the jobs. The work was done well and efficiently and at a very good price compared with other bids. I would strongly recommend them. It's a family run business and it shows.

My [local hardware store's name here] pro-referred GM Electric. Gary was able to call me back just a few minutes after I left a voicemail describing my job: replace one large chandelier over the foyer stairs; remove the old one. I received same-day visit and service, which may or may not be extraordinary and is, certainly, contingent upon the job, but was great. They were very personable, friendly, professional and efficient. The price was the lower end of a reasonable quoted estimate. Overall, great communication throughout, excellent work; Gary even followed up afterward to ensure that we were happy.

It is a pleasure working with GM Electric (Gary and his team). I had to completely remodel an older condo with not very good natural light. I was referred to Gary who was able to offer suggestions to make darkened living areas come to life with strategically placed recessed lighting. They also installed fans and a few chandeliers. What a difference this made! GM Electric is a reasonably priced, licensed professional company who did the job quickly and completely. I am pleased to recommend their work to anyone needing to feel confident in hiring a capable, competent electrician.

Gary and his team were recommend by our Relator when we purchased our home. He came out for a bid; dropped off the final bid the same week, and we booked him a week later. We did not shop around; his prices are reasonable. He is easy to work with; team is professional. We installed six can lighting and a new panel into our home. His team was there for the final permit; it passed on the first try. You will not be disappointed. I also have recommended his team on numerous occasions.

Finally got around to getting some new lights installed. I needed LED can lights on dimmers put in, and called around for quotes. These guys had a pretty good price, and they are licensed. I had a particular set of lights and dimmers I wanted to use, and these guys worked with those. Cleaned as they worked, and they made sure to use the required enclosures.
I will recommend them to people that need an electrician.

Would give him Zero stars if that was an option. Called him out to get an estimate for some work. He briefly looked around and then just disappeared. Never said goodbye, or anything to us. He never called to explain to us why he acted so strangely. Based on his actions, we did not call him back nor would we use him for any job.

I had a fire at my work last week. Every electrical contractor gave me really high bids, even most of them wanted to rip out the walls and start over. I use to do electrical in large scale Rock N Roll concerts and live awards shows back in the late 80's and 90's.
Anyway I challenge the other contractors and I felt that they were trying to make a big job out of something that needed a really good electrician that really knows electricity and knows how to trouble shoot. A friend recommend GM Electric. Gary called me and set a date. I know that when you are that good, you have everybody pulling on you and life can be challenging.
Ladies and gentlemen, Gary and his son are fanatic and what David F said, Gary is a true professional. GM Electric Rocks and I'm not kidding. They came in and found the short within the electrical system caused by the fire and fix it with in a reasonable period to time, or what I would call quickly.
Oh by the way Gary is a Master Electrician. Most electrician contractors will never get there in their life time. They got my power up and running and now I'm in the upswing of rebuilding after the fire. I am a happy camper you might say.
Chris L, You might want to give them another chance before throwing them under the bus. When you are that good and everybody in Silicone Valley pulling on you and want every thing yesterday. Sometimes you must have some grace.
A long time ago, I use to build the power distribution systems for Van Halen, Bowie, Tina Turner, the Stones, The 84 Olympic games closing ceremony's in LA and even MJ, and many more. And I will tell you that Gary and his son at GM Electric is the right pick for your electrical needs. It's worth the price to get things done with an honest company that know what they are doing.
I have ask them to come back tomorrow to put in some new 7 ft. Led lights they sell with installation to put in my offices that will help with the correct illumination for my business.

This is a very flaky outfit. We had planned to have GM Electric do work on our house last Friday. Gary told us he would call us on Wednesday to confirm the time. We never heard from him last week. When nobody showed up last Friday, I had to call them to find out what was going on. Gary had some excuse about being very busy, and we rescheduled for today at 8:30am. Again, nobody showed up. I left Gary a message at 10:00 asking what was going on. No response. I left another message at 11:30am. Gary finally called us back 10 minutes later saying he was swamped and he told us to find someone else to do the work. Not very professional.

Gary is a true professional. He does quality work on time and on budget. He transformed our house - completely rewiring it, adding LEDs, and child safe outlets. We were under tight time constraints and he came through. His prices are extremely competitive. I recommend him most highly and without reservation.

We are absolutely thrilled with the work that GM Electric did for us. We had a panel upgrade and relocation done and we couldn't be happier with the results and service. The team was friendly, hard-working, honest, and thorough. They used quality components and didn't cut any corners! The city of Campbell inspector (they're known for being the harshest critics) was praising the work they did and how clean the install was. I will highly recommend GM Electric to everyone who needs electrical work!!
