    Mike and Dan were very thorough and professional. I appreciate how detailed they were in being sure my electrical issue was resolved. Kinda pricey but I would definitely use this company again especially knowing you'll get good service.

    Overall, I had a nice experience with GLIC and will definitely contact them for future electrical needs. The company was very responsive and was able to arrange for a technician at my house the very next morning. Mike Paquette was timely, professional and got the job done. He also helped educate me on the issue and how he corrected the problem. The billing was transparent (based on time and material) and paying electronically was seamless with the invoice being texted to me. Job well done GLIC Electrical - that is how business is done.

    All of my appliances in one section of my kitchen were not working, we checked the circuit breaker box and that seemed alright. I called GLIC ELECTRICAL the same evening and spoke with a representative. They knew we were in a bind without the use of many of our appliances so the scheduled someone to come out the next day at 12 30. Michael P. arrived on time. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Since I am not an electrician he explained everything so I could understand. He did a complete evaluation and narrowed down the issue and it was resolved quickly. We are so grateful that we called GLIC ELECTRICAL, they are definitely problem solvers at a very reasonable rate. I mentioned that we were without power due to storms for 1 1/2 days and before Michael left he gave me an overview of the wide range of house generators they offer. If anyone reading this has any type of electrical issues call GLIC now.

    Robb was sent out to finish a part of a job started by a different technician from the same company. We were having a large construction project done by CRD construction (terrible company do NOT hire them) when Robb arrived his notes were inaccurate for what the job required. He was polite and professional and genuinely cared about the quality of work he was going to perform. Unfortunately while doing his best to make the electrical outlet safe and functional for my family the owner of CRD became irate over the phone and made him leave the job site. It’s was extremely uncomfortable to witness but Robb maintained a professional attitude while following the unfair instructions. CRD was fired as our construction company the next day.

    I would give them a negotiate star rating if I could. GLIC overcharges there clients. I hired them to upgrade our service from 100amp to 200amp panel. The estimate was to replace the panel, remove overhead lines and install underground lines from the pole to new meter base. Was to install a 50 amp disconnect for future hot tub. Paul the salesman said ‘this is their expertise and they do hundreds of panels a year.’ I live in Michigan, not Ohio. When the crew arrived, They were completely unprepared. They were scrambling to get materials. They didn’t know that Consumer Energy only allows use of their meter bases which is free to pickup at no charge. They didn’t know that Consumers Energy has to run the line from the pole to the panel, which required a representative from Consumers had to come out and get a quote for the install and run through the engineering process and the Homeowners are responsible to pay Consumers. They never installed the 50 amp disconnect or repaired the loose meter base they installed which they were informed of.
    I paid 100% of the bill upfront, and when requesting funds back, they are trying to refund a small portion back. I paid for underground 200amp service cable, meter base, 50 amp disconnect, trenching and labor. I am preparing to file with small claims. DO NOT RECOMMEND GLIC for any electrical needs unless you want to over pay or at least hold your monies and only do the half down as they required to get started.

    Without a doubt GLIC is the finest electrical contractor my husband and I have ever hired, and believe me we have dealt with many. They are extremely reliable, professional, knowledgeable, punctual and affordable. Don't waste your time or money hiring anyone else, just call GLIC. You'll be glad you did.

    Jason was on time, professional and polite. We tackled many small tasks quickly and efficiently. I’m very pleased with the workmanship by both Jason and GLIC. Job well done!

    Overall they did a decent job. The generator works good. It did however take 3 months to install because of various screwups…hit a wire in the wall, township testing for inspection failed twice for different things. Nothing that was unfixable but i did have to call several times to find out what was goin on and why things were taking months to get done. I suppose I would recommend them o my because I didn’t have to fight anyone to get the mistakes fixed, they did this without complaint but it’s an install that should take 1 week tops.

    A Large section of tree fell and branch over and on a wire coming from pole to house. Dillon was amazing, professional and a blessing. Branch and sections removed to a point where we can do the rest in the spring. Highly recommend GLIC and Dillon. Well Done!

    The electrician was very polite. Introduced himself. He listened to me describe the issue. He then checked everything and made a recommendation. He was thorough about what he was doing. Cleaned up everything and explained what he had done. I would recommend GLIC.

    From the start Jon E and Noah were very courteous and timely. They sent me out one of the greatest team I’ve seen working together Dan P and Samantha , not only did they do a fantastic work they were both knowledgeable and friendly. They all deserve five stars in my book any day, and I will recommend your company to a lot of my friends at the workplace. Thanks again for such fine work. Oh yeah and they cleaned up after they got done..😅😅😅😅😅

    The electricians were friendly and communicative, and Jason kept me informed through the entire project (re-wiring my garage.) They were neat and tidy, and also respectful of the property and other projects I've been working on. 10/10, would use them again!

    Xaven was awesome. He got right to work, was very knowledgeable and friendly as well. I told him that if we need to call GLIC again, I was going to request that he be sent out. It was a very pleasant experience.

    I'm editing my response. While the service was great, I wasn't as happy when I received the invoice. When I scheduled the service, I told them that nobody lived at the house and I needed at least 20 minutes notice to be there to meet the technician. The day before the technician was scheduled to come out, I received a text saying he would be there at 9. At 7:35 on the day off the service, I received a call that was available. I ended up getting billed for the time he sat there waiting for me. Also be aware that the hourly charge is for any part of an hour, so an hour and ten minutes is charged as 2 hours. This might be common, but it would be nice to know that in advance.
    I'd change my rating to 4 starts but I don't want it to affect the great job that the technician Xaven did.

    Had a last minute emergency with our main line. GLIC provided an estimate and got a technician out to us the same day even though they were out on a bunch of other service calls. Really grateful for their service. Will recommend in the future! Kamryn was our tech and did a great job. 👍

    The experience from start to finish was excellent. Paul came out to quote a repair that we needed after the power supply to our well was damaged. He walked me through what we would need to do and quoted a fair price. The day of the work, Xaven showed up on time and reviewed what was being done. They had the line trenched and repaired quickly and left the property neat when they were finished. I would highly recommend!

    The office staff are very friendly and helpful. We had someone come out directly to give us an estimate. Once approved, they scheduled the job quickly and completed the job professionally. Great company to work with.

    Dan P was very knowledgable and worked carefully to make sure my ceiling fan/light was installed correctly. Personable and energetic.

    4200.00 Price on 400amp overhead service seemed reasonable at first.
    Waited all summer for meter socket that was on back order just to be told it was going to cost an additional 3700 dollars to install it on my pole. A dollar amount that was never mentioned until after I waited months for the box to come in! From there I dropped it to a 200amp service which still cost an additional 1700. Which was the cost to run electric cable from the building over the pole they had set in my field about 75ft away.(a cost that apparently wasn't in their first quote for overhead service??) They used a cable that was much larger than needed, left it hanging 9ft off the ground at its lowest point, did sloppy work and never installed a guy wire on the poll which immediately started to lean heavily. I reached out to Paul with concerns which never got acknowledged or addressed. Toledo edison would not hook up to GLIC's final product because there was no main disconnect installed. Paul quoted me another 2000 to put said disconnect on pole. I had to hire another company to come in and nearly redo the entire install.
    Don't waster your time or hard earned money on this company, I tried to give them a chance to fix this situation and got zero response from Paul or Jon so here I am writing my review.

    NOV 2024 UPDATE: One of the smoke detectors they installed fell from the ceiling and is now dangling by the wires. Thanks, GLIC!

    JAN 2024: I would not recommend or work with this company again. I chose GLIC despite negative reviews but boy did it backfire on me.

    It started out great. Every employee I spoke to was kind (Paul, Kellie, Kam, Jon), the actual technician (Kam) was friendly. However, they failed the initial inspection and had to redo weather proofing. I've since had to hire another electrician to finish labeling the panel after GLIC did a service upgrade. The panel doesn't actually fit all of the breakers and covers them slightly. New electrician said without a new box there is no way to make them fit, so it will always look odd. We found out more that indicated poor work, but this review is long enough without getting into those details.

    To put it short and sweet: the communication between employees at GLIC is extremely poor and caused a variety of issues with scheduling, parts, etc.

    I started this process working with Jon on scheduling and Paul on the estimate. I sent a list of the work requested by email, explained it over the phone, and went over it in person with Paul. We ended up condensing it down and ultimately approved:
    1. $675 Dual sensor, photo-ion smoke detectors for each level of the home
    2. $3,150 200-amp service upgrade
    3. $462.50 220 volt stove plug installation

    In total from 11/15 to 1/24 we communicated through 22 phone calls, 44 text messages, and 9 emails for this single job. Here are some examples of why we had to communicate so frequently:
    - We wanted to confirm that they were going to pull permits and send electricians who are licensed in the State of Michigan.
    - We needed a new invoice sent over and waited 2 weeks but it hadn't been sent.
    - On what would have been day 1 of work, GLIC cancelled on us 2 minutes before scheduled start time.
    - Actual day 1 of work ended because of an emergency call. We were told they'd possibly come back the next day, or Monday of the next week. I called and texted without any response until Monday morning when they scheduled us for later that week.
    - They brought the wrong smoke detectors to the house on day 2 of work.

    I can assure you that this review can't fully encapsulate the fuming frustration that experiencing all of this was. The sad part is that GLIC has all of the opportunity to get it together and be better, but I happened to be on the receiving end of their sloppy practices.

    I paid thousands of dollars to be able to tell you to listen to the other negative reviews. Don't be like me and give the benefit of a doubt, you'll regret it just like I do.

    We had several things done by GLIC. We were very pleased. Robert and Haven't were our technicians. They worked with us and were so friendly and professional. It was total pleasure. We felt it was a job well done. We highly recommend them and recommend the same gentleman we had. You won't be sorry thanks for sending them our way Drew
