David called before arriving, he was on time and courteous. He installed a ceiling fan in two hours and charged a very fair fee. We talked some, and it is clear that he is honest and a fair business man. I personally have a business on Angie's List and value someone that can be trusted. David and General Electrical Contracting is by far a Grade A! Business. Thank you David

David was great to work with.  He was very communicative and followed up when he said he would.  The tasks were minor but he completed them regardless.  Overall, he was terrific.  I will definitely use him again when the need arises.  I will also recommend him for electrical work.

Ceiling fan was removed and replaced. David is a pleasant guy and did the work without making a mess. There was some difficulty getting the new fan to fit the existing box, can't remember but I  believe new box had to be installed. There was and additional charge of $110.

Bought $75 Angie List deal for ceiling fan installation.  Played telephone tag for a while (he always returned my calls) and set up an appointment.  Was delayed in arrival because of an extended earlier job.  He called me to ensure that this was OK (which it was). Put a drop cloth over our hardwood floors below where work was to be done.  Our ceiling was 12 feet so he needed long ladder which he had and used.  He removed the old fan and neatly packed it into a box.  He assembled the new fan and installed it.  New fan had different switch control which was flawlessly installed.  He removed has ladder and drop cloth.  Everything was neat and clean.

It worked out very well. They scheduled the appointment and showed up for the job. Everything was fine. After the big deal was purchased, they came out after several weeks to do the work but it was under my request because I wasn't quite ready to do it. There were no additional costs. I liked the price that they gave me and that they followed up. I have no dislikes.

Stress is to have a bed and breakfast and on Friday when the ceiling fan in a room dies. 
In bed and breakfast land, I do not know why, everything has a penchant to die on Friday. With a 2 hour window left before the first of the guests are expected to arrive...Fan dies. 
Ok, off to Lowe's we go.  Find simply beautiful fan.  Husband scurries home to install the fan to avert unhappy guest.  He has done fan installation many times.  Voila....fan spinning with grace.  All's right with the modern world as a cool guest in July is a happy guest.  Alas, a problem. 
Happiness ceiling fan has dark bulbs.  Not a working light in sight.  Flipping on and off of switch renders continued dark.
 Husband sends out alert to hunt down Angie's List for electrician as he cannot for the life of him get lights to come on.  I make
Emergency alert call to General Electrical Contracting without a grain of hope  that in the remaining moments before guests arrive
 i will score service on a Friday.
 David Gross to the rescue.  Springs into action with the mere replacement of "a faulty switch."  Not only will I now have cool and content guests but husband has been vindicated in his continuing supremacy of "fan installer."  A win-win for sure. 
On a side note, David Gross is a neat electrician.  Debris not scattered about with this fellow.  Neat and tidy he is.  Thank you David. David is also on "on time" electrician even when basically provided with zip notice.
Thank you all so much.  Weekend saved. We'll certainly call again should we need an electrician.  Our sincere thanks!

The service was excellent. The technician called prior to the appointment to insure that everything about their service was fully understood. I was interested in teplacing an existing ceiling fan with a new remote controlled fan. He fully explained what type fan I needed to purchase to be able to do this. On the appointment date he arrived at the scheduled time and did an excellent job removing the old fan and installing the new one. He was very cordial and professional. He carried away the old fan and left the room neat and clean. I had a number of smoke detectors that needed to have the batteries replaced. They are on the ceiling and I have balsnce problems when climbing a ladder to replace them. He offered to do them for me. When I asked him what I owed him for that work he said it was his pleasure and I owed him nothing. I insisted that he take $20 which he did. I highly recommend this company.
