George K Phillips

We were having a few electrical issues in the house and needed to add a few recessed lights as well. George came on time as promised, evaluated our system, fixed the issues and got the rest of our needs taken care of in a neat, timely and most importantly, cost effective way. I have called many electricians over the years for one thing or another. George’s quick response and customer service has earned himself a customer for life and I refer him out to all of my friends and network. Call George first and you will not be disappointed!

Found this outfit on Unilocal and saw a high rating with many reviews. Based on that I called them, not once but twice. Left my name, number, location (near them) and a brief description of the work I needed done. Crickets. No call back, not even to say thanks but no thanks. I would leave no stars if I could.

I’ve had George do my basement finished room, and my garage to family room conversion. Everything was done on his end to perfection. This past winter, my home was devastated by ice dams. George went above and beyond to assist me in getting all the re-​wiring of my home done. My insurance company didn’t want to pay for the wiring in the walls and George took the time to pull up all the electrical code laws to force the insurance company to pay. George worked with my building contractor to get things moving quickly. When my town charged more for the permit than he had estimated for, he said not to worry and absorbed the additional cost (I’m sure because I was a repeat customer) but that is really how nice, and genuinely good hearted George is. He even had the patience to talk to my overly curious boys and answered all their questions with all the work being done, all without skipping a beat, or getting aggravated. Hopefully I won’t need him for my home again, but if I do, I know George is the only person to call! Peace of mind to my home done right.

Ignore this review. I just realized that I left a poor review for him, but he was the wrong person. Unilocal would not let me delete, only edit. So I went back in and edited to 5 stars.
I have never used this electrician, sorry for the error on my part!

I’m always looking for competent, honest people to work on my house and George fits that description perfectly. He’s an expert electrician and not afraid to help you save some money — he’ll certainly have my repeat business because of it. I had issues with some of my GFCI outlets — George came by, reinstalled one outlet and installed an additional one, and gave me troubleshooting advice for future consideration (as well as helpful hints so I don’t electrocute myself as often:). He’s got a great demeanor, is efficient at what he does, and knows his stuff inside and out. He’s my go-​to electrician from here on out — highly recommended!

This was my first time working with an electrician and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. We hired George for the wiring of an above ground pool. After calling about 15 electricians, he was one of two who called back and could assess our request and provide a quote within a week.
During the initial assessment, George educated us on what exactly needed to be done, and was able to answer all of our questions confidently. Even when we made an additional request to add a receptacle on our deck. His response was yes, and how about we add another so you can blend your frozen beverages while hosting on the deck? I bet you can guess our excitement!
His estimate came in comparable with the other electrician, however it also included everything to do with permits and inspection, making it worry free for us.
George was able to complete the work the following week and didn’t balk when encountering the unexpected. Unplanned, he wasn’t able to work with the existing underground wiring. Regardless, he was able to finish the work in the planned amount of time and was extremely helpful to anticipate our questions and needs. He was courteous of our time, our home and our needs as his customer.
Though we do not anticipate needing more electrical work in the near future, he’ll be the one we call when we do!

George and his colleague did an exceptional job in my condo. The work was easy to schedule, the quote was fair, and the project itself was executed very smoothly. He installed recess lighting throughout the condo, leaving the ceiling without a mark. The condo was perfectly clean at the end of every day (it was a three day job). The final invoice was UNDER the quote because of breaker installations that were not needed (despite a last minute additional of a bathroom fan replacement). The painters who followed him were delighted to find the ceilings in perfect condition and were excited to work with him. The work was exceptional, he was incredibly responsive during the job, and he seems to take real pride in his work and your enjoyment of the final product.
Should you opt for his services, know that his advice on the scope of work is valuable and he is a trustworthy partner in planning. He is one of the good guys.

Very nice guy but his quote was WAY TOO HIGH for the work requested. Another electrician came in at ¹⁄₃ the price for the same work.

George is a fabulous electrician and a wonderful guy! I used him on a job earlier this year and he was reliable, efficient, reasonable and did an excellent job so I didn’t hesitate to call him in a bind today. My wall oven got delivered and not installed with house guests arriving in the morning. George responded to my email within minutes, squeezed me in at the end of the day, did a fabulous job and even hauled away the old appliance. I cannot say enough about his best practices. I would highly recommend him. Made my day! Julia & Mark Pettengill, Concord, MA

I wish I could leave NO stars. I waited a month for an appointment with this guy (I needed a ceiling fan replaced). Two days before the appointment, the whole marathon bombing thing happened and he said he was going to have to reschedule, even though they caught the guy on Friday and my appointment was on Saturday. Fine. I ask for an appointment the next weekend, figuring with all the good reviews he’d go out of his way to make something work. NOPE. He tells me the next appointment he has available is for May 11. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? If you choose not to work (even though there was no danger since they CAUGHT the guy), you should put the customers who you bumped FIRST (And the attitude dude? Loose it. I’m telling everyone I know not to use this jerk.)
ALSO: In response to your comment «George», I would have settled for even the weekend after next, (that being May 4). I get family obligations. But to ask me to wait until May 11 (almost an entire month later?) Unacceptable! And the fact that you’re the owner of the company means that you could easily have made a work-​around to squeeze me in. It was a 1.5−2 hour job tops. I think your customer service sucks and I TOLD you I would be leaving a negative review on Unilocal.Not sure why you’re surprised that I did.

It was a no brainer wanting to hire George due to his past reviews and he absolutely lived up to the expectations. We set up the appointment, George called the morning of to give an approx. time of arrival and also 30 minutes prior to his arrival. Our electrical problem turned out to be somewhat easy but George worked dilligently and charged a very fair rate. I’m thankful to have found an electrician I can depend on for all my household needs going forward. His great reviews are well deserved!

George showed up early to my appointment, and did an excellent job. I had one lighting fixture replaced, an old wall mounted TV removed, a new TV wall mounted, and a pendant light hung. He also showed me how replace light bulbs in my ancient bathroom light /​fan combo. The best part was his estimate was the price he charged, and the work didn’t take long either. Highly personable and completely professional, I would recommend him to anyone.

George deserves more than five stars. He just completed some work for me and not only is he GREAT at his job, but he is very professional and he cares about your house. He takes time to make sure that everything is clean and just the way he found it.
The work is absolutely wonderful and he definitely does not try to sell you into things you don’t need or want.
All electrical work on my house from now on will only be done by George.
Definitely give him a call!!!

I called George after reading all the positive reviews from fellow Unilocalers. George is great, absolutely professional, and he does charge a very fair price. We have a couple of things to fix in the house, and he did a great job on both. He is very careful with his diagnosis of the problems, looking for the most efficient and cost effective way to fix the electrical problems.
We have tried other electricians in our area and we will never go back to them. It is calling George every time from now on when we need a real professional who charges us fair price for all our electrical solutions.
George is also very friendly and very easy to talk to. He will go the extra mile and ask you to give him a call if you have any problems. He gave us a lot of great DIY tips so we can fix some minor things in the house on our own without having to pay big $$$ for it.
I highly recommend him to everyone looking for a professional electrician to get the job done.

All the reviews are a little older — so I thought I would toss an updated one in.
I called George on a Monday evening — about 6pm. Expecting a call during buisness hours I went about my day. He called me back with in the hour. We set up an early morning visit to accommodate my schedule and he was promptly on time on Wednesday morning. (Only one full day after the call).
The problem was several outlets in my house not working — they had never worked and expecting a big project i chose to ignore them for almost a full year. He was friendly and informative. He quickly got to diagnosing the problem and had it down to a single outlet causing all the problems! He had it fixed under 30 minutes! All that stressing for nothing.
While he was working he let me watch and even gave me some DIY tips for any future projects I wanted to tackle on my own — though truth be told if I ever need any electrical work done in the future — George is getting a call.
I would recommend George to my family and friends in a heartbeat! He advertises simple jobs and if I ever had a serious problem I would have no problem trusting him to get it done properly.

George has done work for myself and many of my friends, and his workmanship and attitude is certainly 5 stars Plus. Not only is he a man who knows his trade, he is also a great person. If you are looking for an electrician, I highly recommend giving him a call, chances are you will actually speak with him on your first call.

If you are looking for an electrician in Boston and metro areas, this is your guy! Some of the following might sound simple, but: he answers his phone and emails you back on the same day. He has honest solutions to your electrical problem, along with an honest fee for his service. The two jobs I hired him for at my business, he showed up the day he said he would and on time. He had the parts, and the thing he did need to order didn’t take 4 weeks to get, he had it in maybe 4 days. We did not have to chase him down for anything. You can just tell he is an honest guy running his own business and I would not hesitate to suggest him to friends and family. Anything that comes up in the future, we’ll give him a call!

Best electrition around! clean looking job, thuro, there when you need him! would give his recommendation to every one! you will use him over and over!

I can see why George has these great reviews. I emailed him yesterday with a question about electricity in a section of my kitchen being out. He emailed me back, apologizing that he is only licensed to work in MA and not RI. He could have stopped there. Instead, however, he wrote me a length email of what I could try to correct the issue myself before resorting to paying someone. He acknowledged the economy and customers’ budgets. George definitely seems like a class act.
I hope to move back to MA someday (never living in RI again!) and, if/​when I do, I hope George is still in the field and available, as I would be happy to have such a contact for electrical needs.

George strikes me as someone who genuinely is trying to do right by his customer, so I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He’s very responsive (actually answers his phone!!) and overall is very professional. He showed up as promised and fixed my issue (something wrong with wiring in food disposal) very quickly.
I will definitely be using George again in the future.

I needed an electrician for our above-​ground pool. I contacted the guy I usually use and he gave us a quote which, to me, seemed too high. I came to Unilocal to try to find someone else to get another quote, and found George.
George contacted me right away via email. Once we hooked up and spoke to each other, we arranged a time for him to come out and give us an estimate. He said he’d be at my house around 9 AM on a Saturday. Around 8:45 he called saying he’d be slightly late — around 9:15 (and, BTW, he showed up exactly at 9:15!). His communication is awesome!
He gave us an estimate and remained in constant email contact with us throughout our process. Even when our town used a little less conventional methods (i.e., we had to get the electrical permit at the same time as our building permit, which I guess is not typical), George happily went with the flow, and even went above and beyond (contacting the town to ask the inspector exactly what was required, what he wanted to see, etc.).
When we arranged for a day for George to come, he was here on time as promised, and got the work done exactly as quoted: no surprises or «oh-​by-​the-​ways.» He cleaned up his stuff and was great to work with.
After his part was done, he still remained in contact with us ensuring the inspector came out and making sure that all was approved and final.
I couldn’t have asked for a better, more smooth process than we had with George. He is definitely our 1^st choice for electricians, and we would happily recommend him to anyone needing his services.
