Mr. Goubeaux is a highly qualified electrical engineer who now works as an electrician. I do not think you could find a better person to tackle tough problems. He is both analytical and skilled in the craft. Spending time to analyze and sort out the wiring maze in our basement was not an easy task and I doubt the many electricians would undertake this labor intensive job. While we had two types of contractual agreements: fixed price for circuit box replacement and time and materials for the rest of the work, the price in both cases was fair. He always kept us informed on where we stood concerning expenditures to date and suggested when some work was not necessary or could be postponed until other remodelling was completed.
Description of Work: Mr. Goubeaux tackled a terrific problem in our 80-year old house that had been the victim of multiple amateur electricians as well as a mixture of knob and tube, shielded cable and Romex wiring. The circuit box had several breakers of various manufacturers - many with with double circuits as well. He 1) tracked down all circuits as to their source and destination, 2) replaced the breaker box with a new larger and correct box with all new breakers, 3)isolated all knob and tube circuits and installed special breakers for them, 4) isolated various other circuits that needed to be on their own breakers, and 5)installed several outlets and switches at our request. During the installation of a new HVAC system he came back to do a "rush" relocation of various wires and junction boxes to allow for the new ductwork to be installed. He has also helped me to understand the complexities of this old house from a wiring standpoint.

Gene always go above and beyond the call of duty. He is extremely knowlegable in what he does and very professional. I would recommend him to anyone because I just can't say enough good things about him. If you find an electrician you can trust he is worth holding on to. The only reason we had to stop using Gene is because we moved across country.

I got estimates from two contractors including Mr. Goubeaux for adding electrical outlets. The other guy wanted to charge me around $700 and said that he could not put them in the walls, had to put them in the floor, because of where they were located. Mr G looked more closely and concluded they could go in the wall and be run off an existing circuit, saving me money and putting them where I actually wanted them. He estimated 300 for that job. While he was there we started talking about a larger job I had wanted done but given up on because previous estimators had made it seem like a huge task: adding wall sconces on a wall that had pocket doors in it. Mr G looked closely, saw that the doors were sealed in by wainscotting so there was room in the wall to run the wires without interfering with the doors. He added that job on, working at his standard rate, and was able to get it done and also do the outlets for a total of $650 which I thought was an excellent price. He also let me do the helper work fishing the wires so I did not have to pay for two guys. He knew a lot, was no nonsense throughout and a pleasure to deal with. I will always look for him if I need electrical work in future.
Description of Work: Installed two electrical outlets and two wall sconces wired to a wall switch, running all the needed wiring, in an older Victorian home.

Mr. Goubeaux worked around my travel plans to schedule the appointment. When he came, he listened to what the issue was and went through the various steps to locate the path of the wiring and determine where the problem lay. Since there were so many switches it was time consuming and required lots of double-checking with all the possible switch positions. He quite speedily ruled out a number of possibilities and then methodically narrowed the issue down to the faults. I was very pleased with Mr. Goubeaux's patience in diagnosing the complicated wiring. He explained the relationship of dimmers to the circuit and was careful to keep a diagram of the circuits for himself in case of future need. He also explained what had caused the smoke detector to come away from the ceiling. His helper readjusted the housing for a light over the back door so that it was in the correct position. I was very pleased to have all my electrical problems solved in the one visit.
Description of Work: I inherited a complicated set of twelve lights in a high ceiling, on three circuits, with multiple switches and dimmers. I did not have a diagram of which switches controlled which lights. Several bulbs were out, and when I replaced them, one of the new bulbs did not light. Then fewer of the old, unchanged bulbs would light. Finally only three of the ceiling bulbs would light. The problem was beyond my ability to solve. Gene Goubeaux of Goubeaux Electric came with a helper and patiently explored the various circuits. It developed that two switches had failed simultaneously, in the midst of my bulb-renewing project. Mr, Goubeaux replaced the two failed switches and also a third that was of the same design. We mapped out a diagram of which switch in which room controlled which lights. While he was here, he also reseated a smoke detector that had come loose from its position on a ceiling, and tested a second detector.

Again, overall very professional and congenial in his demeanor. He had performed previous excellent electrical work in the spring, and the circuit box was a continuation of work needed and recommended by him earlier. He came to the house prior to the work to reconfirm what was needed and the cost. He called the night before to review and confirm the starting time. Upon completion of the project he gave instructions on how to call the city inspectors and the electric company to finish the work.
Description of Work: Installed new circuit panel box in basement to replace old one. Circuit panel upgrade to 200 amp main with 40 space.
