Chris and his crew are phenomenal. He came right out to give us a quote for a panel upgrade, manual generator transfer switch and a new weather head. The work was completed quickly and with precision. he even handled all the permits required. We had to call Chris back out after a tree fell and bent the brand new weather head. He repaired the weather head at no cost and fixed it in one day! We had Chris come out and install our hot tub as well. Him and his crew had the same professionalism as before. I highly recommend Gilwee electric for any electrical needs!

Very easy to work with. They installed a new breaker panel and a sub panel. Everyone that was working at my house loved our dogs. They made the whole process with permits and inspection very easy. I will absolutely use them in the future for other projects.

Curtis the electrician was the epitome of what you would like to have when hiring a contractor. Focused, pleasant and very professional. I wish every contractor I hired provided this level of service. Outstanding company.

We had a very good experience with Gilwee Electric. They replaced our old electric panel and did an excellent job. The owner, Chris, was very professional as were the young men who did the work. They were knowledgeable and did the job in the time they said they would. I feel very satisfied about the workmanship and whole experience.

Chris Gilwee is a professional electrician who is polite, on time, and will give you an accurate bid for your project. He installed several light fixtures in our home and we are so pleased. We highly recommend him for any electrical needs that you might have. Thank you Chris!

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.

Gliwee Electric came into the project after another electrical company had not completed the job in a satisfactory manner. Chris was friendly and professional when listening to my request to fix some breakers in our electrical panel. He sent Cliff over to check out the issue and he was able to fix the issue and helped on another issue with a GFI switch. They are now my " go to guys" for electrical concerns.

I never give 5's but if I did it would be to Chris. Punctual and completed job on time. He did a complete 220 upgrade, scoped out and labeled all circuit breakers. Cleaned up, taking away all old trash. Well satisfied and will recommend him for all electrical work.

Chris is fantastic. Punctual, fast to give quotes and very reasonably priced. He and crew installed a panel for plugging in a generator and also installed a 220v circuit for our hot tub. I have referred him to all my friends and neighbors looking for electrical work to be done.

Electrical Wiring or Panel Upgrade
I did not realize that the project would be in two phases. I had the check made out for a complete job in one days' time; however, the owner said that he did not have all the parts
Response from Gilwee Electric, Inc.
"Thank you for your review, Janice. As always, we appreciate all customer feedback to help us serve our clients with the utmost professionalism and integrity. Certainly as we have all experienced, hiccups can happen on a job from time to time. I think it's fair to mention that the other estimates you received recommended a TOTAL panel replacement rather than what was actually needed in the way of "updating your breakers" with new UL listed breakers. I'm glad we were able to resolve your flickering lights issue for less than half the cost of a full panel replacement. In all fairness, the specialty breaker we did not have on the service truck was difficult to procure considering it was after hours at the supply house. Which is why I was more than happy to return the next morning on Christmas Eve to resolve the delay in the installation. We will strive to do better next time!"

Professional in every aspect of the job. Returned initial call promptly. Came out for estimate and provided written estimate via email the same day. Showed up for job on time. Encountered a few unexpected problems which were solved. Left the work area clean. He is union trained with experience. He answered all my questions as the job progressed. Long wait on qualified electricians so call in advance of your job.
