Gosling Electrical Service

Gosling has it all going right! Quick service- professional service- got the job done. I had Mike Royer come out and did 12 hours of work changing fixtures and switches. He was a pleasure to have in my home. He is very knowledgeable- and he did a great job cleaning up when he was done. I was referred to Mike/ Gosling by my Real Estate agent and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend

We had an electrical issue on Labor Day and we called Gosling Electrical. They took our call on the holiday weekend and showed up by 8 AM the next day. Our technician was beyond helpful. He even helped my husband take away some of the heavier parts. I would recommend this company again and again. In today busy world, having someone show up and get the job done is priceless. The repairs are complete and we are back to using our electronics. Kudos to this great local company!

We have used Gosling Electrical several times. Mark is a friendly guy. His company used to advertise in Angie's List giving Senior Discounts of 10%. On our original work with Gosling Electric, Mark was extremely disappointed that we made him aware of this discount. On our recent electrical work, Mark brought over a young female apprentice. Mark had her tighten the connections on two GFCI boxes. He then billed us for $155 with no discounts for work by an apprentice that took less than 30 minutes. Terribly disappointed with Gosling Electric. We will never use them again!

We had a partial power outage at our home on a Friday evening and needed an electrician to diagnose the problem. After calling several other companies who either didn't answer the phone or said they couldn't come, one of them referred us to Gosling. We called, and Marc said he would be here in 30 minutes. Within minutes he diagnosed what turned out to be a Duke Power issue. We are grateful for his knowledge and efficiency and wouldn't hesitate to call him again or recommend.

Make sure that you have these people come out first and get a firm price on the work to be done. We bought a new house and we wanted a substantial amount of work done prior to moving in. I had an electrician identified, but, after expressing interest, he stopped returning calls/emails. In something of a pinch, I contacted Gosling. Marc said he could have someone here on the following Friday, the 8th. I didn't ask about price, I just wanted the work done. Electrician came on time and started with the pendant lights and installing a switch for these light. He did a nice job on these. After working several hours on these and moving some fans, he stated he had to leave to do a service call somewhere in the vicinity. He was gone for more than 2 hours. When he came back, he installed the surge protector. By this time it was getting later in the day and he stated he had to leave. There was still work to be done and I thought that he would be back the upcoming Monday - not so. He stated he was going to Texas for training and would be gone the entire week, but would finish the job the Monday after. That Monday came and went with no electrician. After several calls and texts, we settled on the 26th. On the 26th he came several hours late, so late that I called another electrician and made an appointment with them to finish the work that Gosling didn't. Almost immediately after I made that appointment, the electrician showed up, this time with a helper. They finished the work that should have been completed on the 8th, and this time the electrician started pitching a lightning arrester, something he received training on in Texas. We negotiated a price and figured on the next Monday for that. I paid the bill for the day's service, and after he left, I checked the bill against the previous bill. On the 8th I was charged $90 for a dimmer, on the 26th, I was charged $134 for the exact same dimmer, installed in the same box as the previous dimmer. Very bad form and I cancelled any more work to be done by Gosling Also, without a firm price quote, the electrician was referring to some magic book, that supposedly gave him a range of prices to charge for his services. Lots of room for abuse in this kind of arrangement, as the $44 swing in price for exact same dimmer shows. So in general, we had missed appointments, late appointments, and at least one instance of overcharging. Use these people if you have to, but make sure you get a firm price for your work and get a price from someone else for the same work. I should have, didn't, and ""paid the price"".
