--- title: "Silver City Electric" description: "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" doc_version: "2026-10-19" last_updated: "2026-10-19" --- # Silver City Electric **Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 22 S Elm St, Wallingford, CT 06492 · **Phone:** (203) 980-1107 · **Website:** http://www.silvercityelectric.com/ · **Languages:** English, Spanish **Rating: 4.8/5** (medium confidence) — from 38 reviews across 4 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read 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. **Strengths:** - Service upgrades — four reviews describe 100 to 200 amp upgrades - Fair pricing — ten reviews call costs fair or reasonable - Honest diagnosis — a 2024 customer avoided a whole new box ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Google: 5 stars from 82 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Silver%20City%20Electric&query_place_id=ChIJN4SRhIXO54kRO-ahfKrTgss) — “Google: 5★ from 82 ratings” - Better Business Bureau grade A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/wallingford/profile/electrician/silver-city-electric-0111-87119694) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - The company's site states 14 years in business, free estimates and 24/7 emergency service _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.silvercityelectric.com) — “Stated offer (self-reported): free estimates” - [Official Website](http://www.silvercityelectric.com) — “Stated offer (self-reported): 24/7 emergency service” - [Official Website](http://www.silvercityelectric.com) — “Self-reported 14 years in business” - A 2022 review names the owner as Kevin Gerace _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUR1OGNhaGFBEAE!2m1!1s0x0:0xcb82d3aa7ca1e63b!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDu8cahaA%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Silver City Electric is the best residential electrician in New Haven County.
