Greg is an incredible electrician specifically and human being generally. My wife and I go to Greg for all of our electrical needs whenever we can. He is patient, knowledgeable, and runs his trade with a level of honesty and integrity that is hard to find. By way of example, Greg recently helped us in a situation (over the weekend no less), then told us it wasnt a big deal and we should donate to a good cause instead. Amazing. I dont know the first thing about electricity, so its such a relief to work with someone so honest and upstanding as Greg! -

As a first time homeowner, finding a trustworthy professional to work on your home is a huge priority. We found this in Greg. When we called him on a Sunday due to a light flickering issue, he spoke with us for 15 minutes about what he thought the issue was. He was able to come out the next day, and he spent 6 hours correcting the problem. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. Im so glad we found someone that can help with projects in the future! -

Greg is responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He has provided me with detailed electrical consultations on my historic home by phone, photograph, and text message on multiple occasions. And all out of the goodness of his heart in trying to educate people on the importance of quality electrical work, because I unfortunately live outside of the area he services in person. I only wish I could use Greg’s services for the electrical work on my home because we have had so much trouble finding someone to do the work properly. It’s clear that Greg takes pride in his work and provides an amazing and rare service by consultation! Thank you Greg! -

Greg is fantastic! When I first contacted Greg for a quote, he called me back while he was on a vacation. Greg didnt need to do this, but it shows the dedication that he has for his customers. During the entire lead up process, Greg provided prompt responses, in addition to detailed information about the work that he would perform. We needed to upgrade our panel as we were having AC installed in our house, and when I was getting conflicting information from the AC folks, Greg took to the time to speak directly to them, which was a big help to me (someone who has no knowledge on this topic). When the work was being performed, Greg called me each morning to let me know when he was on the way, and would show me the work being performed, and give me an explanation of what he was doing. I am extremely satisfied with Gregs work and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs Electrical work. -

Greg is an upstanding and thoughtful professional. I emailed him about what I thought was an innocuous electricity issue after hours on a Friday. Greg called me back on Sunday. He told me on the front end that he couldnt take the job because he was fully booked for a while out, but he was concerned about some of the issues I had mentioned in my email and wanted to talk me through it.He spent more than 30 minutes on the phone with me (on his only day off!!) explaining how my electrical system works, what could be causing the issues, and why that could be a serious problem. He knew he wouldnt make any money on the call, yet he took time out of his day because he was concerned about my safety. And he explained everything, from the basics of electricity to the specifics of the issue I was experiencing, patiently and clearly. And it turns out he correctly diagnosed just over the phone!Were lucky to have an electrician like Greg in our community. -

Greg was very professional and helped us with an electrical issue on our first floor. He was thoughtful and thorough with his work. Can’t recommend him highly enough! We will definitely be saving his info for future electrical needs -

Great electrician -- an even better guy! I had a minor electrical emergency and called Greg based on his top rating on Y e lp. It was late Saturday night and he called me back right away ... from his vacation two thousand miles away! He took the time to give me some good advice and I cant thank him enough. If I ever need an electrician in the future, Greg is my guy. Highly recommended. -

When I was looking for an electrician to do a full house rewire/knob and tube removal, I must have contacted 10+ electricians in Philadelphia. Most didnt even get back to me, or barely wrote a complete sentence in reply.Greg wasnt available to do the work I needed, but not only did he get back to me, he also provided detailed information and advice tailored to my situation. He sent me several informational articles (that he had written himself) about knob and tube and related issues. He also answered several follow-up questions that I had. And he suggested another electrical company to me, which I ended up hiring (and they did a great job!).Ive also seen Greg on social media, generously offering substantial free advice to other people who were having electrical problems, without asking for anything in return or engaging in self-promotion. He seems extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his trade and genuinely interested in helping other people even when there is no financial gain for him. I wouldve hired him in a heartbeat if he had been available when I needed electrical work, and I would not hesitate to hire him if I need other work done in the future. -

Greg was so kind, he told me how to solve my electrical problem without a service call. If the fix that I could do safely myself hadn’t worked, he would have come out. I don’t know anyoneelse who would have done that. -

Called Greg the other day about some changes we wanted in the house. Came by this morning and did fantastic work. Not only does he do great work, he takes incredible pride in how it looks too. Added bonus is he is hands down the nicest contractor we have ever encountered. -

Contacted Greg a week ago and he advised he would be out of town and was pretty booked for this week... But he did email me a trouble shooting list. He did get back to me when he returned and said he was booked this week but would try to get out to look at my problem. He did show up today... Was very informative and quickly diagnosed the problem and had it fixed in a very timely manner. He also replaced several circuit breakers that were potential fire hazards. His rate was VERY reasonable for all that he did. Very satisfied and Def will use him again. Thanks Greg! -

Okay. I didnt get any work done-yet, however; Mr. AVAKIAN did give me and my family great advice on how to sus out my problem, what he would do, how he charges, and some questions to ask another electrician. He couldnt get to me due to being in the middle of having work done on his house and having to be there while the work was being done. He did say that Id U needed him he would be more than willing to help out- although he is booked into March 2022. I would use him in the future. He seemed friendly, professional, knowledgeable in his field, and on the up and up. -

I called Greg when we had an issue with a light fixture in our home that was emitting a nasty (and scary) odor. Greg picked immediately - on a Friday evening no less - and walked me through exactly what I needed to do to figure out what was going on. He answered all of my questions, gave me recommendations on where I could find the new parts that I needed to replace it. I cannot thank him enough, and I highly recommend him for any electrical questions or work you have.
