G.E.C. Electric

Just like the review from LK I scheduled an appointment and of course no one showed up. I called and left 3 voicemail’s on 3 different phone numbers trying to get an answer on the day the service work was supposed to be performed but no one had the common decency to contact me back. Stayed home from work waiting for these guys and no one showed up and no one called, my appointment was for 2−22−16 at 9:00 am. I’m sure they will respond with some excuse but don’t waste your time, there’s nothing worse than a small company performing this kind of service. I own a few residential and commercial properties in La Mirada and Whittier and was looking forward to finding a new electrician since one I’ve used for years retired. Is it too much to ask for a simple phone call? If you can’t make it you can’t make it but to avoid a customer and not return their calls or show up at all is pretty sad. There’s no reason to respond to this review with your excuse as it honestly won’t do you any good. Thanks for wasting my time.

GEC were great to work with. They had some hassles and wait time with our HOA, but were always patient and professional.
Worked with us as to various options since I personally didn’t know what was out there, only a general idea of what needed to happen.
Showed up when they were supposed to and did the work quickly and efficiently. Always courteous and helpful too.

Thank you all the Unilocal reviews! With your help I decided to use Rob and his wife for our in closed patio addition. They installed ceiling fans outlets and moved the electrical panel.
They waisted no time got right to work. (Hard workers are hard to find)

Rating solely based on appointment made and resulting «No Show». No work performed.
Found G.E.C. on Unilocal rated 4.5 stars and local, so I called last Thursday for an appointment/​estimate and got one for Saturday (yesterday). The woman who scheduled my appointment with «Rob» was helpful and pleasant — even when I called her back a few hours later to adjust the appointment time to from 2pm to 9 am (so I could include 2 others who needed to be present).
The morning of our appointment, the 3 of us awaited Rob at 9am and by 9:40am no one shows up nor calls us… so I call the G.E.C. office and then «emergency number» that their voice-​message lists, but no one answers either number. Hmm… that’s not good.
So at 9:45am I left voicemails for both numbers and then at 9:55am I sent texts to both asking to confirm my appointment and if Rob was on his way. At 10:06am I receive a call from Rob asking «How may I help you?». After reiterating my voicemail and text that «I wanted to confirm our appointment for this morning and know if you were on your way…», he said he wasn’t aware of any such appointment and asked me who I spoke to because «it’s just me (him)».
I told him I called the number listed in Unilocal and he confirm that was indeed his office number, but said «no one» informed him of any appointments (no apology, no offer to come now or even reschedule).
Okay, so I’m confused… who could/​would be the ones to «tell him» of the appointment if he just asked me who I spoke with to make my appointment because «it’s just me (him)»? The woman I spoke with sounded just like the one on his G.E.C. office’s voicemail greeting!
Since he seemed uninterested in my business, I confirmed it by saying, «So… you aren’t going to make it here?» and he simply said «Not today!» in an annoyed voice making no other comment/​offer.
I said, «Okay, thank you very much!».
Disappointed it ended this way with a local business that appears to be well reviewed by others Unilocalers.: (

Called Rob twice and both times he is on time, courteous and very fair on labor. Absolutely recommend he will get it done at a affordable price. I am so happy I found Rob thru Unilocal !

We went with Rob and his wife when we redid the majority of our interior lights. They installed cans, switches, ceiling fans, new fixtures, a microhood, GFCI outlets, and patched a ton of existing damage. We’re pretty happy with the results and will use them again to finish up the remaining work.

We are repeat customers of G.E.C. Electric Rob Tech/​owner. He is dependable & always problem solves all our electrical needs! Highly recommend him & we would give him 10 stars if we could. Thanks Rob!

I needed electrical work done in my garage since my window contractor cut live electrical wire during the window installation in garage. Rob got back to me right away Friday and came on Sat to do an estimate at 10am. Rob showed up a bit early, which I always like out of my contractors. After he provided a quote, I asked Rob to start the job Sun at 10 am. Rob showed up on time and completed the work within 4 hours like he told me during the quoting process and also patched up the dry wall. I would definitely hire Rob again int the future for more electrical work I need to be done around my house and parents house.

I had G.E.C. update our garage with new electrical wiring. The owner was quick, courteous, and knowledgeable (and a Veteran, and I love supporting our Vets when I can!). The price was fair. I would use G.E.C. again and recommend the company to anyone looking for a reliable, quality electrician.

Arrived early. Went right to work and knocked out all the projects. Friendly and informative. Answered all my questions and didn’t seem to mind me looking over his should. Will be using Rob again.

When we need an electrician, we call Rob. he has been to our house several times.
Last time he fixed a ceiling fan & some inoperable recessed lighting. There are a number of reasons why we are impressed with Rob. He is easy going & pleasant. He saves us money in the ways he gets things to work rather than replacing everything.
We don’t worry about him taking advantage cost-​wise. He has shown he is trustworthy & dependable.
And he likes dogs!

This was my first time using Rob and I was super happy with the work that he provided. When he came to give me an estimate he was on time, and very helpful. His prices were very competitive with three other estimates I had received. Rob was even able to offered a few suggestions to a couple ideas I was tending with as far as plug placement an ideal locations for speakers in the outside patio area.

Batting ⁰⁄₂ on electricians Unilocal.
Called just to inquire about an appointment for electrical work and phone was answered with «Hello.» No mention of the business name, no hello this is Rob. If this is the number you use for business I think you should probably answer in a professional manner. After asking if I was speaking to Rob and getting an answer in the affirmative explained what we needed done and where we lived. He then informed me he’s closed on Sundays and we live to far out of his service area. Ok no problem but his tone made it sound like I was bothering him. Sorry for calling your BUSINESS NUMBER regarding NEW BUSINESS. If you don’t like being bothered on your day off, you should think about using a different number. Just my two cents…

Just got my Clipper Creek charging station HCS-​60 installed by Rob today. Perfect for my RAV4 EV. The job was nicely done by an Experienced electrician. Got a good price. Will use him again in the future.

Left msg in regards to installing air compressor and ²²⁰⁄₂₄₀ volt in warehouse. No return call after 36 hours. Bad way to do business. AVOID

Can’t enough nice things about Rob. Super nice guy. He came out to troubleshoot and fix the problem with my fusebox. It’s never a good thing when you see arcing in there.
Clean up the wires, checked the outlets, was done in an hour and made sure my home was safe. And like others that have said the same thing, his prices are really competitive. Highly recommend his services.
Thank you Unilocal and thank you to the Unilocal reviewers!

Rob is the best electrician you will ever find. Not only does he show up on time and does excellent work but his price cannot be beat. He is super honest and keeps his promise. He did my garage electrical subpanel install and outlet installs with led light. Work was flawless and he stayed til almost midnight to finish all work.
He even offered to come another day to make any changes to outlet location and install another led light with no extra charge. When i called him second time for making changes he called back right away and came and finished his job for free.
Never had such an easy smooth transaction. I recommend rob at gec electric to anyone! He is beyond 5 stars!!!

I would definitely recommend Rob for any of your electrical needs. I called rob last week on a Saturday and not only did he pick up immediately he was at my front door step within twenty minutes (he even fixed one of my non-​working lights on the spot at no charge). Rob is very professional and knowledgable, he knows what he’s doing. Rob upgraded my electrical panel for a very reasonable price (I won’t tell you price only because your house might be bigger or smaller and prices vary). Rob explains everything he’s going to do and cleans up very neatly after his work.
I am definitely keeping Rob’s number on my contacts and will use him again for any of my electrical needs. I would definitely recommend Rob for your job.

Excellent job! Professional, friendly and clean! He communicates well and provides useful information. Arriving early and finished the job even cleaning up a bit after! Super nice! Highly recommended and provides free estimates!

Rob was great.
He installed a special outlet for my electric car in the garage of our town home.
He clearly knows his stuff, super fast and clean installation. He had everything done within a few hours of our first phone conversation. I initially just asked for a quote, but he was too knowledgable and easy to work with for me to keep shopping.
I will be recommending him to anyone in need of electrical work.
