Silver City Electric is a Wallingford electrical contractor, and 35 of the 38 written Google reviews name the same electrician: Kevin, identified in a 2022 review as owner Kevin Gerace. The company's site says it has been in business 14 years, that the owner is personally involved in each job, and that it offers free estimates and 24/7 emergency service. Google shows 5 stars from 82 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau lists an A+ grade. Panel upgrades are a recurring job. Four reviews describe a 100- or 200-amp service upgrade. In a detailed 2024 review, a homeowner wrote that Kevin set up the permit with the town, did the upgrade over two days, labeled the breakers and wire voltages, and installed an exterior light that was not part of the scope; the one complaint was a few screws and some wood dust left on the crawlspace floor. Another 2024 customer upgraded to a 200-amp panel for a hot tub, with Kevin handling permits and coordination with the power company, and a 2023 customer had an old Federal Pacific panel replaced. Smaller jobs fill out the rest: a 14-30 garage outlet for EV charging in early 2025, recessed lighting in 2024, a pool outlet and pump fixed in under half an hour in 2024, and a pendant light swapped for a ceiling fan in 2023. In a 2024 review, a customer said another electric company had tried to sell them a whole new box, while Kevin found wires touching in a switch and fixed that instead. A 2022 customer described an outdoor lighting problem after heavy rain that Kevin came back to fix and declined to charge for. Ten reviews call the pricing fair or reasonable. The newest review, from April 2026, praises his communication and honesty about the work and the time. Its Connecticut E1 electrical contractor licence, ELC.0200539-E1, is active, held by Kevin T Gerace.
Kevin was great! Communication was great and he was honest with the work and the time, very efficient and knowledgeable.
Kevin was on time, courteous, and explained everything before performing his work, Very pleased with results and would not hesitate to call him again in the future.
If you want a great experience and a job well done, Silver City Electric is the one to call. I was in the midst of a renovation and needed an electrian immediately, Kevin G came immediately, assessed the situation, and took care of everything. I've had 4 contractors in my house doing various jobs, and Silver City Electric was the only company that passed inspection the first time! Kevin was professional, always on time, and communication was excellent. I highly recommend this company.
Kevin did a great job installing a 14-30 outlet in my garage. This sped up my EV charging 5-7X what it was before. He gave me a range of options to choose from and even spent a few extra minutes after finishing the new wiring and outlet to ensure my garage setup was exactly what I needed.
I brought Kevin in for an estimate on a 100 amp to 200 amp upgrade on my older home. We were able to schedule the in-person consultation over email and he fit me in within a few days of reaching out. He reviewed my electrical box and system and answered all my questions about the process. He was thoughtful, professional, and patient. He was comparable in price to multiple quotes I received, but I chose Kevin because he was straight forward and checked all the right boxes, including spelling my name right, clearly stating the scope of work, and following up promptly. After granting him the job, Kevin set up the permit application with the town and was flexible in choosing dates for the upgrade. He went above and beyond while in my home, including painting the outside tubing ahead of time and installing an exterior light that was not part of the scope of work. Kevin conducted the upgrade over two days leaving my food intact and limiting my home office downtime. He communicated with me throughout the process when he ran into wires that looked unused and was relaxed the whole time. He left the workspace tidy and neat, including labeling all the breakers and wire voltages going into the box. His only room for improvement was leaving a few screws and wood dust on the crawlspace floor after drilling holes for wiring. Minor and forgivable in exchange for quality work and professionalism. Kevin is what more contractors should strive to emulate.
