Griffin Electric

Mark A.

I know enough about wiring and switches to get myself zapped big time. I bought several smart switches and wanted to install them. After what seemed like hours on youtube trying to figure out all the wires coming out of my light fixture I called Griffin on a recommendation of a friend. Paul Fallgreen came out quickly, and on time. I explained my issue and and asked a ton of questions. He showed me that I had the wrong switches for where I wanted to put them, but he did wire one up on a circuit that would work for my switch. He then showed me how to wire up 3 pole switches for when I got them. He was funny and very informative. I never felt that I was being talked down to at all. I rather enjoyed his visit. Now Paul could have installed the switch and left, but he really took the time to help me out and saved me a lot of money. He only charged me the minimum service call and was on his way. I am very happy with his service and would highly recommend them.

PS at time of this review thanks to Pauls advise my house is all wired up with smart switches and the ladies in my house can now turn on lights before they get home at night.

I live in an old house that has required a lot of work.
Paul has provided service for me on several occasions. He has solved many problems in a cheerful and expert manner. I am so grateful for his expertise. Excellent, service!

Prompt, professional, and kind. Fixed my home electrical problem right away, and with time to spare, fixed two other less pressing issues to fill in the rest of the hour. Will call them again.

If I could give this place a 0 I would. Worst experience I could ask for quoted at 330 and ended up paying 1100 for a breaker. Please do not use this company at they are very unclear about the cost and services. They squeeze you for your hard earned money

Griffin Electric has helped me three times now: 1. Replaced ballast in kitchen lighting when selling home. 2. Installed four new ceiling fans in new home. 3. Replaced 12 LED-compatible dimmer switches throughout new home. The ones that came with the house caused LED dimmable bulbs to flicker badly. The new ones ( Lutron Skylark) do not flicker. The dimming can be adjusted on the switch to whatever level of lowest light you desire.

Paul was my tech for all the work done at the new house. Paul is very skilled at what he does. He took the time to make sure that the switches worked correctly and that the 3-way circuits were wired properly.

Had a wiring issue in an older rental that I needed help with. I was just installing a ceiling fan, which I have done several times before, but something wasn't right. Pull the switch cover off and found bare metal wires that I had no idea what they were, but thought they could be a hazard. Called Griffin, based on their great reviews, and they came out quickly, fixed everything and offered a fair price. Sometimes it pays to hire a pro!

Our house needed a couple of ""small"" things done but still had to be taken seriously: a ceiling light that needed replacing but had been installed without a box, a bare but taped wire hanging down into our garage that we didn't know the status of, installation of a GFI in the garage and maintenance on an exterior GFI in the garden.

Ron showed up on time with a smile and focus and jumped right in. Before we knew it he had the ceiling light box and fixture installed properly, identified the hanging wire as LIVE, then used it to install the garage GFI. He always kept us apprised of how much time he was taking and what our cost was at each juncture and what it would be if it took more than an hour.

He then got down on the ground in the garden to get that GFI back in working order and when he soon finished asked if we needed anything else.

All I can say is ""wow"" we weren't expecting these tasks to go so smoothly, successfully and cost effectively. Ron is now our ""go to"" electrician. What an unexpected pleasure!

I first selected this company on reviews from Yelp. I was happy that they returned calls quickly in the beginning of the project and was about to come back with a quote. Although it was a bit higher than I thought it would be- I went through with the project. I picked a Monday and told the company that I also had another appointment on that same day. I was told that the work would begin around 8:00 am and would only take until 1:00 pm. The worker arrived and asked me to explain the work. He stated that he didn't know what the project was exactly. I walked him around the house and explained the project. I then asked if he was given the proposal from the signed contract. He stated that he was not given anything. Anyway, he started. Around 11:00 am, the worker came to me to say that he was given an emergency call and that he would need to return the next day to finish the work. My husband called the company and talked to a manager by the name of Martin. He said that he would talk to the worker and he would stay to finish the work. At 2:00 pm we had to leave for our appointment and left him at the house still working. He was finished with the project around 4:00 pm. We paid the amount and left it at that. Then we were asked by the county about our permit. I stated that we weren't given a permit by the company. The county said that we needed a permit. I called the company and talked to the manager named Martin. He stated that he didn't know what permit the county wanted. But he would find out and call me back in an hour. After a week and a day I still had not heard anything. My husband then called and was told that in the small print it states that the owner would get the permits. My husband said that we would have gotten the permit if we knew about it; but we weren't told anything. We are now in the process of trying to figure out how to apply for a permit. If you hire this company make sure you ask a million questions and stay on top of the work and know what you want and what you need.

We're near the end of our job now and Griffin Electric has been aces. We've been gutting and renovating while Griffin has been rewiring the entire house. Ron Davison has been leading the job, and is professional and has anticipated our needs and forestalled possible problems since day one. And, he has the patience of a saint. Working around other subs in an early mid-century cottage has been difficult at best, and Ron has remained unflappable and worked steadily.

Griffin Electric did excellent work installing recessed lighting in my lath and plaster ceilings. Ron was terrific with his skills for old homes - he didn't crack the plaster or create extra holes. Not everyone has the patience, ability or the attitude of enjoying the challenges of lath and plaster. If you need this type of job done, you won't be disappointed if Ron comes to your home.
