Recommended Customer Reviews
We had another great experience with Williams Electric. Our furnace was not running and it appeared to be an electrical issue. Williams Electric came out and resolved the problem (bad breakers) in about 10 minutes. No-nonsense, fast and thorough. Five stars is not enough.
We contacted Williams Electric from Yelp and we are very disappointed. We received one text back on 10/9/15 indicating they would contact us and a woman named Rhonda did call a day or two later indicating she would email me to set up an appointment. That was 5 days ago and we have heard nothing more. Horrible customer service.
A BIG thanks to Geoff and Ronda - the dynamic duo. Geoff brings the operational expertise and Ronda brings the customer service. I hired Geoff as a referral from another home owner in my building to replace an outdated fixture and install 2 new ones. My building has antiquated wiring but Geoff knew just what to do! And don't let the quiet/reserved initial impression fool you - he's a very insightful and generous individual with a broad knowledge of his craft. The end result may require some clean-up work but for invasive procedures like new fixtures, that's to be expected. What's more, I had a small issue with one of my fixtures within a day of install - Geoff was immediately responsive and came back the day following my inquiry to personally address and fix at no additional charge. He also offered me recommendations to help ensure the safety of my loved ones and I while in the home. Geoff and Ronda - thank you for your commitment to quality service.
Sincerely, Nikki
Michael J.My girlfriend and I hired Geoff for a larger job in the house we had just purchased: replacing two FP&E panels, something he's done a lot of (search YouTube for his appearance on NBC discussing those panels).
We were very happy with the work Geoff did. He was clear about what needed to be done, how long it would take, and Rhonda from the office was great at communicating dates and times for inspections and other PG&E visits. Geoff was on time for the job and got it done exactly as he said he would. And despite claiming he wasn't a great carpenter, Geoff actually did a fair job patching up the drywall and siding around the panels.
We're happy we no longer have to worry about FP&E panels failing - thanks Geoff!
Geoff was great! He was able to retrofit an existing line on an inside wall in order to install a new outlet. Was fast, friendly, and efficient! Would use again!
A. F.This review is for a Commercial Building. I found Geoff on Yelp.. thanks reviewers!
Geoff was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Not to mention he was able to come right away and restore our power. I called him around 9 am and he arrived within 15 minutes. Power was restored within the hour. I can't thank him enough. I would definitely recommend him and we will be using him again.. although I hope we don't need to for a while. :)
Update: Geoff called to follow up and make sure that everything was still working great. 5 Stars!
I was lucky to discover Geoff from Williams Electric. He came over quickly in an emergency, solved my problems and discovered a potentially very dangerous situation in one of my fixtures. He was very communicative and helpful as well as extremely knowledgeable and fast. He came back to install a new fixture, install a fan/light and move a fixture to new location. Excellent work, all around. I will not need to find a new electrician as I am completely satisfied with his job skills, demeanor and paying extra attention to my dogs. Can't recommend highly enough!
Geoff Wiiliams was available and did show up on time. Those were the two positives. I was not pleased with the quality of the work for the price and the area where he worked was not cleaned up. The outlet he installed was crooked and it did not match the other outlets in color or style. The low quality plastic plug he put on the outside of the wall was only partially inserted so it did not stay in. I was hoping the contractors who wired my house were available because they did a fantastic job and had great attitudes (but they were busy doing other large jobs). Geoff seemed gruff and impatient and made a comment about Hispanics taking his work. I think it may be the quality of his work that is taking his work . . .
Geoff was a pleasure to work with, and the quality of his work was excellent. He brought a few outlets up to code by grounding, replaced another outlet and helped find the problem with our kitchen light burning out. Very knowledgeable, super helpful in explaining things, pointing out code violations, and providing a full story so we understood the decisions we were making. We will definitely call Geoff again when we have electrical or lighting issues.
I called in the afternoon -- he was there the next morning, even though it was not an urgent job. Routed my new outlet as requested and helped me with an additional small job without charging for it. Good guy -- happy to work with him again.
