Gintner Electrical Services

This is the second project that I have had Jim Gintner complete. Last year during a window install, the electrical had to be disconnect to the 3-season room and outside shed due to incorrect wiring from a previous owner. I called Jim to come out and access my situation. He deducted that I would need a separate wiring circuit installed for this room and my outdoor shed. My breaker panel was full so a new sub-panel would need installed and wire ran to the location. Jim had a loaded work schedule at the time, but I knew I wanted him to complete the work since I really trusted him from his excellent work that he previously completed for me. I was not in a hurry so I told him to work it into his schedule as time permitted. When his schedule opened up enough, he called to ensure I would be available for the work to be completed. Two of his employees, Kelly and Bill, arrived at our scheduled time. They discussed the work that was to be completed and included me with additional options that could be beneficial for my situation such as wiring routes and outlet placements. Jim stopped by during the install to ensure project was going well. They went above and beyond and even revealed an addition issue with wiring in another outlet that they repaired. They were very courteous, professional and thorough. They cleaned up after the job and reviewed the completed work with me. I am extremely impressed with how Jim conducts his business and will continue to use his services as needed in the future. A++++ company!

With all of the high winds we have had a tree branch was laying on the power line coming into our home, causing our lights to flicker. Ohio Edison came and removed the branch, checked the wires coming into our house and found a lot of moisture and corroded ground wires inside of our exterior meter socket and box. I called Jim on the same Thursday afternoon, he returned my call within an hour and was at our house the same evening and gave us an estimate to replace the electrical service panel and exterior meter socket box and wiring leading to it. We also asked for a socket to hook up the generator we had just bought too. Jim emailed the quote the same evening when he returned home. We decided to have him do the work on Friday or Saturday and Jim had his crew here Monday morning as promised at the time promised! The electricians were professional, friendly and did a nice job. Quality work! We won’t need to worry about the worn out wiring coming into our home again! Regardless of the other reviews we saw here we decided to form our own opinion of Gintners and are glad we did. We didn’t have other estimates done so I can’t vouch personally for the pricing, I have a friend that was recently quoted for having their electrical panel replaced and compared to her quote ours was more reasonable. We will call Jim if we have any other electrical work that needs done and will recommend him to others, good people, great experience here!

Stay away if you don’t want to be ripped off. Mr Gitner was brought out to inspect our electrical service after a home inspector said it should be looked at by an electrician while selling our home. Gitner said our electrical box wasn’t up to code and needed moved, we needed gfci outlets in our garage amongst several other findings. He wanted to charge us almost $3k and stated he would not do any drywall repair. All of this holding up the sale of our home. I know a little about electrical and new our service was ok as we just purchased the house one year prior so I had another electrician look at our service as I know codes may change. The second electrician only found we had one circuit in the box overloaded for the dryer and moved it to a circuit that was not overloaded. He charged $65 ......... and said the electrical box didn’t need moved and everything else was up to code....... a big difference from $3k. The buyers asked for a third opinion since there was such a big difference in price and to make sure everything was up to code so their realtor had a gentlemen who actually writes the code for Trumbull county and is a certified and bonded electrician look at the service......... and wouldn’t you know, he found everything was also good to go and everything met code. This almost made us lose the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home. Gitner is a scam artist!!!!! I’m not saying he doesn’t do good work........ or is he just doing what an electrician is supposed to do...... his job. What I am saying is if you want scammed...... if you want to pay for repairs and service that aren’t necessary then go ahead and call Gitner but chances are you’ll be paying for things you don’t need. My suggestion is to Run, Run, Run away from this guy!!!!! Make sure to pass the word to people in the area aren’t scammed!!!! It’s a shame you can’t trust the people put in the place who are supposed to be there to help you!!!! Stay Away from Gitner Electric!!!!!!!!! Do your research, sounds like another story identical to mine..... to bad I found it after all this happened!!!!

I cannot say enough about Gintner Electrical Services!! I needed a hot tub wired and couldn't seem to get anyone there to do it in any kind of timely fashion. I called Gintner and the woman who answered the phone was very nice and told me she would have the electrician call me back. I thought, "Yeah, ok!" And decided not to hold my breath waiting. Not only did Jim Gintner ACTUALLY call me back within 15 minutes, he ended up coming out to my house that very day and giving me an estimate! A crew showed up the VERY next day-WHEN HE SAID THEY WOULD-and so did the boss, Jim! (I was astonished given the bad experiences I have had with contractors over the years!!) But they worked together like a well-oiled machine and had the job done in no time at all. No problems, no broken appointments, no lies, and no price gouging!!! They are they best! After the job was finished, I chatted with Jim for a bit and can say he is a very sweet, kind, intelligent, wise and insightful man. In the little while we talked, I could see he genuinely cares about PEOPLE, and not just customers. He cares about actual people and humanity itself, and that is certainly very rare!! Need electrical work done?? Do yourself a favor and call Gintner Electrical Services...you won't be disappointed.

Mr Gintner and his crew are great! We had a pool installed and the company that was supposed to come out and hook up our electric to the pump and heater cancelled at the last minute. I called everywhere trying to get an electrician to give us a quote and do the job before 17,000 gallons of water turned green. Mr Gintner postponed his personal plans and came over that evening to quote us and fit us into his busy schedule two days later, once the needed parts arrived. He assured us he was coming whether rain or shine. He and his crew worked for more than five hours on the job. All the time making sure they didn't track mud into the house and didn't tear up the yard. Mr Gintner even noticed that our dryer had the wrong breaker while he was in the basement and fixed it for us free of charge! I can't say enough nice things about them. Very professional, friendly, and kind. Our pool is up and running on short notice. They gave us great work at a great price, and even better customer service. He is the only electrician we will use from now on.
