Very pleased.

Took several days due to weather, permits, & city inspection, but I am very happy with the workmanship.

I was very pleased with the work done; if electrical service is needed again, I would not hesitate to call them again.  
The quality of their work is acceptable, and, being a Senior Citizen, I felt that their pricing was fair to me--unlike a previously-used electrician.

The appointment was set for a particular day in February.  A couple days before the appointment, Gillmore Electric called and said they were running behind due to some adverse weather that week.  She apologized and said that they usually don't work on Saturday, but they would  come out on Saturday and do the job.  That was fine with me.  We were expecting company that coming week and wanted the work finished before they arrived... They did a good job.. I appreciated the extra effort.

He went beyond his call of duty and looked at other things. He was very nice and knowledgeable. And he saved me $728.00.

I used an Angie's List Big Deal special for this service. They arrived on time and worked efficiently in less time than I thought. This company described some options to me about remote access; they convinced me it did not work like I thought it did so I did not have that put on. When I tried to call to schedule this service I had to wait for about two-and-a-half weeks until they could come out; I was surprised at how long the wait was.

went great. they booked a date and had to reschedule twice due to rain, which was of no fault of their own and I really dont want someone working on electrical things while its raining! they showed up the day off, contacted the city, got permits, whole nine yards. work was done in around 3 and a half hours.

They performed their work great

Slow start, took longer than quoted. i had to schedule vacation time to be present, had to re- chedule and apply fOR more time than I had coming. Once the job was focused, on the work was completed and I am satisfied. I have a 80 year old Solid Brick venier home brought up to current code for a reasonable price.The wait was worth the time.  Gilmore Electric has a hard time meeting the Demand that Angies List brings. If you can schedule and wait, the price is good and the owner will make sure it passes to current codes.

Would use again.

Great price and solid work.

They came and completed the job in a very effiecient manner.  I had two jobs for them, the $650 and another related job.  I felt that they did a good job.  I would ask them to do work for me again.
The only caution I have - be sure they look at the job BEFORE they give you an estimate.  On the other related job, he had estimated $75 additional in materials and it was quite a bit more than that.  But, he had NOT seen the job so I give room because of that.  Thanks again for getting it done and getting it done well.

I ordered a new 100 amp electrical service box on an Angie's Big Deal special for the listed $650.00.  When I contacted  the electrician he asked me to send him pictures of the existing service box.  He was to call me later that day to schedule the installation after he was back in his office and could review the pictures. He did not call so I contacted him the next morning to see if he had received my pictures and had a chance to review them . He had, but did not explain why he had not called me as promised. The pictures showed that my existing service was 150 amp so I would need a bigger box.  He said he could put in a 150 amp box for an additional $50. I agreed to this and was informed that I could just give him a check for the difference at the time of the installation. The appointment was set for Saturday Dec. 15 at 9 am.  He called about 8:40 on Saturday morning to cancel the appointment since it was sprinkling and my box is on the outside of my garage . He said he would call me later in the day when he was back in his office to reschedule. I did not hear from him that day so l called him the first thing the following Monday morning.  He wanted to reschedule the appointment for "sometime after Christmas." I objected and reminded him that I had already been waiting more than a week to have this work done. He then agreed to do the work that same afternoon. He said he would be at my home about noon and the installation would take about 3 hours. He arrived on time, looked at my box and  said he would go get the new box and be back shortly.  He returned in about an hour with a new 200 amp box.  He said they no longer make 150 amp boxes so we would have to go with the larger 200 amp box. The 200 amp box  was listed on the Angie's Big Deal at the cost of $850. I agreed to the upgrade and he completed the work very quickly.  He showed me how to check to make sure the surge protector was working and provided the warranty for it. He showed me the new box to be sure I was satisfied with the installation. He cleaned up the site, taking the old equipment and materials with him for disposal.  I gave him a check for the additional $200.00 and he was gone by 2:30 pm. 
I was very satisfied with the work but I do have a problem when someone fails to call when they say they will or, at the very least, to offer an explanation for why they did not do so.

Ordered coupon on Angies and set up the job a few days later.
He arrived on-time and performed the work wiotin his estimated time.  Also was considerate of my elderly mother while he and his crew were on site.
Definitely would recoomend and use again.

Larry called on the day of the service appointment to indicate he was on his way.   He arrived as anticipated.  He viewed my box to check out the make and model, purchased an appropriate replacement, and installed the new box and wires in about two hours.  He is personable and smiles.  That is great.  Within a few minutes, he installed the outdoor lights so quickly--within 5 minutes.  I enjoyed doing business with Larry.  He is competent, skilled, and courteous.  I recommend his services.

I called Gilmore Electric to arrange an appointment to do an inspection of my electrical service including outlets, panel box (mentioned it needed to be replaced), etc. Late last year I had a "free" electrical panel inspection done by a large multi-service company in Houston that advertises "it's all about the house". Well, it was really all about how much money we can get out of you. It was recommended that I change out the entire panel box for $ 1,700.00 because it had an aluminum bus bar which was corroded and the ground wire was too thin and needed to be changed out for another $ 500.00. I called my friend in Austin who is a licensed electrician who told me GE never ever made a panel box with an aluminum bus bar (it is copper with an aluminum coating) and $ 500 to run a 4' piece of wire was insane. Now back to my Gilmore Electric experience. When I initially called and spoke to Larry Gilmore he said he was very busy but he could set an appointment with me for about a week in the future. This was fine with me and we set a date of 12/20/12. Larry arrived (with a helper) about ten minutes earlier than expected and immediately impressed me with his knowledge and professionalism. He first looked at my panel box, confirmed it was a copper coated bus bar, pulled and inspected the breakers and showed me that the contactors had hardly any wear. He said he could replace the panel box if I wanted but what was the point in spending a sum of money for something that was functioning properly and didn't need to be replaced. We then inspected some outlets, talked about adding GFI outlets, inspected my ceiling fan which does need to be replaced and inspected my motion light outside which also needs to be replaced. Larry agreed to come back and take care of all of my items in January. I asked what the charge for today was and he said "No Charge". He came all the way to my house from Bellaire and didn't charge me. This is amazing. You can be sure I will have him back after the first of the year to do all we talked about and I will add to my list of electrical projects to make sure his next trip is economicaly feasible. Larry is a professional of the highest standard. He is my electrician for life.

Larry did an excellent job of communicating with me in the time leading up to the job.  On the day of, he worked quickly (important when your electricity is out - don't want the food in the fridge to spoil!) and I felt the quality of the work was high.  He is demeanor is friendly, while still professional.  I asked for him to do an estimate on a second job in the house, for which he not only beat a previous estimate by a significant margin, but suggested an innovative approach to the work, which would have saved money in needing to replace tile in order for the job to be done.  
I am obviously already contracting with him for more work and would recommend him to others.  

He came on time and evaluated what needed to be done and he commenced to do the work starting with the kitchen and working through the family room.

Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish.  Before I purchased the big deal, I phoned the company to discuss what I needed and how we could approach the extra work.  He was upfront about everything, and quoted me very reasonable prices over the phone.  The night before, the company confirmed my appointment for the next day, and then on the day of followed up with a call to get pictures of the box to ensure they would have the correct replacement equipment on the truck.  They showed up on time to do the work, finished in about two hours, explained everything and cleaned up.  It was very easy, and I appreciate that they now are doing online invoices and have flexibility for payments (paypal, CC, check, etc.).

Larry was very flexible and fast at setting up an appointment plus very professional and punctual when he arrived.
He checked what needed to be checked and was very honest when it came to determine the cause of the problem and not trying to create work where work is not needed. I believe he really knows the code and does only what needs to be done meeting codes and standards.
He worked fast and explained everything he was doing and how he was going to do it. His rate is as reasonable as it can get.
I am very glad with the work he did, his honesty and the results of his work. Will definitely hire him in the future for any other work and will recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work.

awesome

Gilmore Electric came out to give a quote and was competitive. After a few different estimates, I decided on Gilmore because of
their prompt response time, experience and competitive quote. They arrived ontime and professional. They upgraded the panel box and made it look very clean.Larry clearly explained what he was doing and the costs associated with it. As a family man himself, Larry took extra care to make sure the house was safe electrical wise and did not cut corners. They installed new recessed lights
that look great! There are many electricians out there and it can beoverwhelming to find one you trust. I have found my electrician. I highly recommend Gilmore Electric and will definitely be calling them for future work.
