The Verdict

This company doesn't deserve your trust. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found a pattern that should alarm any homeowner: steep pricing that balloons mid-job, no detailed written estimates, and combative responses when customers push back. One homeowner agreed to $4,000 for a switch-and-outlet replacement, watched the company drag the project across two months with constant excuses, then got hit with a surprise $1,000 upcharge for work already in the original scope. When he refused to pay, the owner sent him vulgar text messages. Another customer paid in full for ceiling fan installation, only to have the electrician vanish mid-job for a week, ignoring calls while the switches sat broken. The company later claimed a family emergency, then told a different story to the replacement tech. We found 37 reviews flagging this pricing behavior, most from the past three years. The math doesn't add up either: 42 complaints about value and 45 about sales conduct in a company that also earned 114 mentions of solid workmanship. That split suggests the field crews do decent work but the business model is built to upsell you once they're already in your home.

If you need an electrician and can't afford to waste time vetting quotes from multiple companies, this is not your shortcut. The risk of mid-job price hikes and poor communication is too high.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. James B.
Yelp | Jan 21, 2021 |

James found Green Electric on Yelp and hired Joe to replace every switch and outlet in his house and add four exterior flood lights and LEDs as part of a home renovation. Joe estimated the job at $4,000 and they agreed, but over the next month the work kept getting pushed back as Joe blamed other customers’ emergencies or personal issues. When the project reached about 60% complete, Joe demanded the price be raised to $5,000 even though the scope hadn’t changed; after several discussions they split the difference to $4,500 and James decided it was easier to have him finish — a choice that proved costly. More delays followed, and when Joe again tried to increase the price James terminated the contract. After the firing, Joe sent a post-termination text that contained very unprofessional, vulgar language. His takeaway for future customers: be careful and “get everything in writing.” After three decades of remodeling, the most striking thing to him wasn’t the shoddy reliability but the vendor’s personal, vulgar attack.

2. John M.
Yelp | Jun 8, 2025 |

John hired the company to install ceiling fans and lighting in his home. The job started normally, but halfway through he discovered the electrician hadn't brought a ladder and had to borrow John's. The crew also asked for an extra $100 to bring in a patch worker—presented as the patch guy's personal fee rather than a company charge. They spoke to each other in Spanish the whole time, which wouldn't have been a problem except the electrician repeatedly used the slur "Chino," smirked, and chuckled while looking at John. He stayed quiet to keep the interaction professional. After hanging the fixtures they found the switches weren't all working and the electrician promised to return the next day to replace three switches—despite John having paid the quoted total in full and the work not being finished. The electrician never showed and ignored multiple calls; at one point he answered to say he was “stuck” and would call back in two minutes but never did. By Monday the company finally intervened and said the electrician's mother had been hospitalized; a replacement electrician arrived and was professional and competent. That tech claimed the original electrician had told him to charge $

3. John W.
Yelp | Aug 22, 2023 |

When his hard-wired smoke detectors suddenly began blaring at his home, John W. turned to a web search and connected with Green Electric. A technician arrived and ultimately stopped the alarms, but what began as a "free estimate" quickly unfolded into a series of charges: $200 up front to install two outdated units, $300 to diagnose and repair the electrical circuit powering them, and a final $200 to replace two more aging detectors that started going off once power was restored. The $700 total left him feeling taken; the only clear upside was that the alarms are no longer sounding. The detail that sticks is how a promised free estimate escalated into a $700 emergency job when restoring power revealed additional failing units.

What You Can Expect

01

1. Matt O.
Yelp | May 2, 2022 |

Matt O. has relied on Green Electric repeatedly over the years for home electrical work, and the consistency of their response and skill is what keeps him coming back. He values that crews are usually out the same or next day and that technicians arrive as seasoned professionals — never leaving him wondering whether they know what they’re doing. His grandfather was a journeyman electrician who taught him to always call a good electrician, and for Matt that trusted name has become Green Electric. The most recent example came when a breaker/GFI issue cropped up: he phoned Eric, who calmly walked him through troubleshooting over the phone and resolved the problem without an in-person visit. That quick, knowledgeable help — plus the steady same-day service — is the concrete reason he continues to call them.

2. Carmen L.
Yelp | Feb 17, 2022 |

Carmen had a fixer‑upper condo with an old subpanel that left her range dead. More than a year ago she called Green Electric Solutions; the electrician provided a free quote that same day and replaced the entire subpanel on the same visit. Once the work finished, her range came back to life. He also installed five GFCIs and a new range hood, and wrapped up by 6 pm — leaving her with a fully functioning, safer kitchen before dinner.

1. Harold T.
Yelp | Oct 29, 2014 |

Harold got a tip to try Green Electric Solutions from a family friend and ended up turning to them repeatedly over several years whenever electrical problems popped up. He relied on them for everything from a faulty circuit breaker to full rewiring and routine outlet repairs, and each job reinforced his trust. Technicians arrived on time, were friendly, and took the time to explain what needed to be done and how they would do it, and the invoices were consistently affordable. Now he calls them first for anything electrical—small fixes or larger jobs—because punctual, clear communication and fair pricing have made them his go-to.

2. Pete Z.
Yelp | Jan 23, 2025 |

Pete Z. hired the company to install solar on his home and found the crew punctual and professional throughout the job. He compared several bids and ended up with the best value — the installer delivered on schedule and with solid workmanship. He kept their contact and plans to call them again for future projects, a sign that price and performance lined up for him.

3. Jamie M.
Yelp | Mar 18, 2024 |

Jamie M. hired the company for what was billed as a panel upgrade on their home's electrical panel and ended up paying $820. The technician replaced breakers — what Jamie described as work done “for freeze drying” — and was in and out in under 30 minutes. The crew labeled the visit a panel tuneup, but Jamie discovered no actual tuneup work had been done. The company originally quoted $1,000, then charged $820, while a second contractor who inspected the same task said it would cost less than $75. The striking detail that stuck: a brief breaker swap, a sub‑half‑hour visit, and an $820 bill when another pro priced the job under $75.

1. Alex T.
Yelp | Dec 9, 2025 |

Alex T. reached out on Yelp about a problem with a breaker and got an immediate reply; the company booked an estimate for that same afternoon. After a quick phone call and confirming text, the technicians arrived on site right on time, diagnosed the troublesome breaker, and fixed it quickly. He walked away with the repair done and a clear explanation of the corrective steps the crew had taken — the standout details were the same-day response, punctual arrival, and a straightforward rundown of the fix.

2. Michael S.
Yelp | Dec 1, 2025 |

Michael S. needed an electrical box installed for a new hot tub and ended up with a technician who rearranged things on short notice — showing up the night before Thanksgiving and returning the next day to finish once a small part arrived. The final estimate came in about 40% higher than the original quote, but the technician’s willingness to work around the holiday and complete the job promptly overshadowed the sticker shock. The detail that stuck with him was the late‑night visit before Thanksgiving and the follow‑up the very next day to wrap up the install.

The detail that sticks is how a promised free estimate escalated into a $700 emergency job when restoring power revealed additional failing units.
