    Even the the original quote was more than reasonable, Frank still converted to T&M for an even better value.

    We found Gilmore Electric through the glowing reviews here on Yelp, and Bryan Gilmore absolutely…read morelived up to every one of them -- so now we're happy to add our own. We had a substantial amount of work done: multiple indoor and outdoor installations and upgrades throughout the home over several days. From the very first appointment, Bryan was prompt, professional, and clearly knew his craft. Not once did he show up late -- a simple thing, but rare and deeply appreciated when you're rearranging your schedule around a contractor. What really set Bryan apart was his approach to the job. Rather than just running through the list, he took the time to walk us through our options and pointed out several cost-saving opportunities we never would have known to ask about. He was upfront and transparent every step of the way, and when all was said and done, he came in below his original quote. In today's world, that kind of honesty is worth its weight in gold. The quality of the work itself is excellent. Bryan was meticulous and careful -- not a single item in our home was damaged despite the scope of the project. And when he wrapped up each day, he cleaned up thoroughly. You'd barely know he'd been there, except for the upgraded home you're left with. If you're on the fence, let our experience push you over-- Hire Bryan Gilmore. You will not regret it. My highest possible recommendation.

    Gilmore Electric was recommended by a friend for whom he had replaced an electrical panel.

Bryan came in and found the problem very quickly, replaced one plug that was causing the problem for an entire circuit and, at my request, updated the bathroom outlets to the GFCI ones. He is so nice and so knowledgeable and the cost was much less than I expected. I highly recommend him.

    I contacted several electricians in the area to get quotes for an EV outlet installation and T Bow…read moreElectric did not disappoint! This will be a detailed review, because I love those, but if you're looking for the TL;DR... - Amazingly competitive price - Extremely prompt service - Some of the cleanest work by a contractor I've ever seen - All within the (very, very fair) promised budget After chatting with 5 or 6 different electricians in the area, ranging from larger businesses to smaller shops, I can honestly say, these guys are the best and you should reach out for a quote! We recently purchased a 2024 Tesla Model 3 and knew we wanted to install an NEMA 14-50 outlet in our carport to charge our car. We also knew our house was not at all equipped for this since it was 30+ years old, and had an original sub-panel that, when we moved in, we were told would likely need to be replaced at some point due to a recall. Knowing this, we wanted to do our due diligence in picking an electrician familiar with the issue. We had 5 or 6 different electricians come out and give us quotes. Only a handful of them recognized the issue with the sub-panel (T Bow was one of them!) and, while they all provided a variety of crazy suggestions for how to get the outlet installed and power routed, T Bow's plan was simple, to the point, and the most straight forward despite our sub-panel being far from the carport, inside the upstairs hallway near our master bedroom. I reached out to T Bow via Yelp on a whim after a few other electricians had come out just hoping to find someone local and honest who wasn't going to run pipe all over the outside of our house. He replied instantly late at night and within 10 minutes, scheduled him to come out a day or so later to take a look. He arrived on time, and within 10 minutes, had evaluated the property, and provided a plan to upgrade the panel and install the outlet by running the line through the attic, down a wall, and through the garage -- a route no other electrician we had come out had suggested. His cost to upgrade the panel and install the outlet beat out others who weren't even planning on upgrading the panel. I was told there was a roughly two-week wait for work, but Jeremy was incredibly communicative and was able to come out that same week, arriving on time and doing the cleanest work I've ever seen. They managed to swap the panel with zero additional damage to the wall, and then cut only a small hole in the back of a closet to feed the wire down into the garage. Amazing work all around given the location of the sub-panel and the location of the outlet we were installing. They worked quickly too! In a single day, they swapped out our old sub-panel, ran the wire through our attic and down through our wall. Fed it into our garage, and installed the conduit in the garage with the wire to feed into the outlet inside the carport. Amazing work, super fast, and at a fair price. I don't know what more you could ask for and I'm pretty frugal! 10/10, will use them again in the future. :)

He explained exactly what he felt was needed so I could evaluate and agree on the plan. As the plan evolved he continued to make adjustments and improvements that only a seasoned veteran and someone who is an expert could accomplish. We are extremely happy and have already recommended Ray to our friends for work on anything electrical-related, and especially for panel upgrades. A+++

    Great Experience with Ray!…read more We had a panel upgrade, a generator hookup, and a line run to our new spa. Ray is very professional and reasonably priced. We got four or five quotes before deciding on him. Some electricians tried to upsell unnecessary work, but Ray always provided clear, thorough explanations of why certain things weren't needed. I really appreciated his honesty. For example, he insisted on installing a transfer switch for the generator instead of a standard switch due to safety concerns. I respect that he sticks to his principles--it shows integrity and a commitment to safety. He completed everything within a reasonable timeframe, even with the inspector being difficult. It's great to have an electrician I can trust. His pricing was competitive, especially compared to others who wanted to charge more for less work. Overall, an excellent experience--I highly recommend Ray!
