Shout out to the man Bahram!

We had a few outlets out and some lights that weren't turning on, and Altap immediately contacted us to make a visit the next day.

Bahram came in and out within 30 minutes and helped tighten the wires of our breaker box that we were unaware were loose.

Overall, he was very nice and accommodating (took off shoes, played with my dog a bit) and I would recommend Altap to anyone looking for electrical service!

Altap were able to get an electrician out within a few hours and within 45mins the engineer found the root cause of the problem. Some wires had come loose in one of the light switches and this was impacting other lights on the same circuit. I never knew this was a thing!

I definitely recommend Altap and will be keeping them on hand for other electrical needs, many thanks!

Bahram was great to work with. Simple, straight-forward, clear, knowledgeable - came to inspect and provided a very clear estimate for installing a 240 outlet for my EV Charger. Responded quickly to the many questions I had before and after we decided to hire them. No nonsense, no up-selling - just fair and honest. His team came and did the job - they were smart, friendly, and efficient. Bahram came back when the city inspector came - passed inspection and got a the permit that I wanted. So glad to know an electrician I can count on, and plan to work with him again! You can't do better than Bahram and Altap Electrical!

Submitted an inquiry before 10am and had a quick response less than 40 minutes later. We talked on the phone to discuss what needed to be fixed and it was a flat rate if it can be fixed + more if additional parts needed to be used, if not fixable then no charge. I had my lighting fixed before 1pm the same day, with excellent professional service. Highly Recommend!

JTBD (Jobs to be Done):
Needed to install floodlights, Dryer outlet (EV car Charger) and a few outdoor power outlets. Constraints here was to finish the job as soon as my solar inspection passed (within 3-4 days of inspection)

Pre-work:
Requested multiple quotes through, had a few electricians stop by / video call to provide their estimates. Some also tried to up sell their services, but having basic knowledge of costs helped. Bahram's estimate was the most competitive. Bahram was also super responsive from the beginning of this project.

Finalizing work and personnel:
Bahram is passionate about his work and doesn't take any of his customers and their requests for granted. I say this because initially I had the tempered my expectations from a business (Altap) with 300+ 5 star Yelp reviews (surely I'm not their last customer). However I was onboard in utilizing Altap and Bahram help based on his extensive knowledge, quote, and responsiveness.

Scheduling and work completion:
As mentioned above, I wanted to get someone to fix all my electrical work in 3 days of solar inspection. I also had personal reasons to complete the electrical work soon which I had shared with Bahram. He was super kind and flexible to shuffle some of his appointments to schedule our work on the decided day. His crew (Dylan and Chris) and him came 15 mins before time (5 stars right there!) and finished the work in a few hours. Bahram took time to explain the pros and cons in one of the outdoor power outlets that we needed to install. He also helped us understand some electrical issue in the solar sub panel which needed to be fixed for the one of power outlets and my EV charger to have power. I was glad I got to know about this issue before hand so I could take it up with my solar company.

The previous reviews on Altap electricals and Bahram are absolutely on point! I highly recommend them and glad we found reliable electricians (Altap) in our corner! Thank you

We're currently looking for an EV charger installer for our residence. Bahram was extremely helpful in looking through our setup and photos and was able to give us a quote. While we ultimately could not utilize his services due to some issues on our end, he was prompt, courteous and helpful over the phone even though we did not use his services. Thank you for the great service

I need to upgrade my panel to 200A for solar system. I agreed to have my solar company to do panel upgrade but I didnt see it move forwards when I talked to the project manager. He told me I can have other electrician do it for me as from their side nothing has been done so I asked for the quote. Bahram gave me the most reasonable quote. He patiently gave me details of what need to be done and the process with city and PGE in a few phone calls. Bahram spent time to help me find the solar-ready panel which solar company requested which seems to be not available in any stores. I was so happy with that I sent email to Bahram to accept his proposal.
Oh then right after that I got email from the solar project manager guy told me he just knew the electrical department got permit and they already set the installation date for me. I was so surprise and disappointed. I contacted Bahram right the way to discuss about that. He suggested me to continue with the solar guy as it is part of my whole project and he didn't think he can get permit/inspection faster from PGE and he would be totally fine with that.

Thank you very much for your time and definitely I will come to you for any future electricity project.

On a Sunday, doing some DIY electrical work. Got myself into a bit of situation. Reached out to some electricians , but Bahram returned my call in a very timely manner. Not only did he give me professional guidance but walked me through steps and stayed on standby until the job was completed. He was not obligated to do it...but he did. Thanks a million! I will be using this company for future services.

Excellent business.  I needed a 240V outlet and a level 2 EV charger installed.  I know little to nothing about electrical stuff, but ultimately it didn't matter because Altap got the job done!  They were quick, professional, and did whatever electrical behind the scenes work that is required to install a 240V outlet and charger, and more so, they did it at a great price.  Scheduling them to come out was quick and easy, too.

Fast, friendly, well-priced electrical service - that about sums Altap up!  Definitely recommend them for your electrical service needs.

If you dont have an electrician that you trust, Altap should be your next call!! I normally dont trust the reviews here, but this one is real. Bahram is one of those guys that you dont feel like you are getting ripped off when you talk to him. He also really knows his stuff. Pricing is very fair for the amount of knowledge, experience, and the quality of work that you get. Do yourself a favor and save his number if you live in his service area. He is prompt, responsive, and very reliable.

He took care of an issue in my rental property promptly and followed up several times when I had a lingering issue which turned out to be PG&E's problem.

Last night, half of the outlets in our house went down. In this weather (cold/rainy), plus 3 seniors and 1 child in the household, it was essential for us to get it troubleshooted and fixes asap. I called Altap Electrical around 9.20 am in the morning next day, got the quote, and the electrician (Bahram?) was on our doorstep in 15 mins. Fixed the problem quickly (in less than 20 mins) and our house is back in power again! We're so grateful for responsive, quick and professional help!! Will be definitely using this service again for further electrical needs.

We had an electrical emergency and found Bahram on yelp. He was responsive and came to my house to check and fix the problem. We had the same problem a couple days later. I called him and he came to check right away. Now the problem has been fixed. He charges a reasonable fee. We are pleased with him and would recommend him to others.

I ended up getting a lot of quotes for this fairly simple job, installing an outlet for an electric vehicle. This Santa Clara power company offers a rebate but requires a building permit and a lot of electricians balked at that. Bahram's answer was always, no problem.

He answers messages promptly and clearly. He showed up on time. Worked very cleanly (laying down plastic to catch the dust, even though the work was in the garage). Very nice work. Handled all the communications with the city. Fair price.

I'm verrrrry happy with his work.

Altap Electrical is one of the Bay Area's best. My family and I just purchased our first home in the Blossom Valley area of San Jose. During our final inspections, we were notified that the electrical panel on the home was a fire hazard and should be replaced. Zynsco. I reached out to Altap, and Bahram responded promptly and wanted to come check out the panel. I had sent him a few photos so he could get an idea of the scope of work as well. After the visit, he let me know what the cost for the full panel replacement would be. He provided a fair competitive quote and also gave a clear and concise timeline of install. Bahram and the team started work at around 830am once PGE showed up. They finished around 1230pm! Once PGE showed up for the final sign off, the inspector from PGE said one of the cleanest install's I have seen. That right there let me know that Altap is a class organization.

Hats off to the Altap team and thank you for your hard and quick work!

I need to replace all of my kitchen GFCI electrical sockets because they are not working properly anymore. Bahram arrived within the time period as schedule. He checked the sockets to confirm and recommended replacement as well since they are quite old. He got to it right away and efficiently replaced them.

I also have some questions regarding my main panel as well as what it needs to install EV charger. He was able to answer my questions and give me some recommendations. He is very professional and knowledgeable.

Definitely use them again if I have future electrical service needs.

Bahram, the owner of Altap Electrical, was very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He put in a new panel for us along with resolving several other electrical concerns. He was never pushy or tried to upsell anything. Bahram is very honest and I appreciated his expertise on my project. I am more detailed than most folks. When asked to adjust something  - he & his team never complained but obliged.Thank you & your team for all your help. Wish you all the best!

Bahram installed our recessed lights and we are pretty happy with the results.

He had very transparent pricing with no surprises along the way and was fast and efficient at getting the job done. There were one or two small mistakes made (normal for such a big job) but he quickly fixed them without issues.

Reached out to him to get an estimate for an electrical work that I had in mind. After explaining what I wanted to be done, he replied with a much better way to do it, and taught me how to do it myself over the phone.
Guess who's I'm calling next time that I need any type of electrical work!

Bahram and his team were amazing. We had to undergo a forced remodel on our downstairs after a faulty water heater flooded our house. In spite of all the chaos we decided to add recessed lighting and a ceiling fan to our living room. A couple of electricians quoted us, many asking for a deposit for an on-site visit, but Bahram reached out to us quickly and provided the fairest quote. As we had ongoing construction, he worked with our schedule and assured us he would be done with the work before we moved back in which he did. We even added additional lighting/ceiling fan replacements in the kitchen and the work on that room was great as well.

What really set him apart was his amazing customer service even after the job was done. I replaced the recessed lighting fixtures in our living room and inadvertently turned the whole system off. He walked me through resetting my breakers and diagnosed the problem over the phone after that didn't work. With his help I was able to fix the mess I had created which I will be forever grateful!

I will definitely be reaching out to him with any future projects.

There was an old stove in my mother`s house and it stopped working, I didn't know what was wrong with it, so I called the guys and asked them to come see if it could be fixed. The master came in a couple of days, examined, identified the problem and, fortunately, it could be fixed. I am satisfied with the service, maintenance and quality of the work done. They also have reasonable prices.

I had Bahram send me a quote for adding a 240v line to our new stove after sending him some pictures. His team showed up on time, lined our kitchen with painters cloth and got to work. Very knowledgeable, professional and I would say they charged be below what the other contractors charge. Would definitely recommend their services again!

Highly recommend Bahram and his team! Bahram is a great guy to work with, very trustworthy, friendly and responsive. He and his team are very experienced and good at what they do.

We wanted to get recessed lighting and some electrical work done in our house, and Bahram was recommended to us by a family friend. Bahram first visited and assessed the lighting and electrical work and gave useful tips and recommendations, and also told us what work was essential and what work was unnecessary. We decided on a date for the work, and Bahram was very accommodating and understanding when we had to adjust the dates slightly.

Bahram's team was fast and efficient, and they got the work done in a timely manner. They faced several challenges with the lighting due to the structure of the house/ceilings; however they quickly figured out the solutions and got all the lighting done. The quality of work is top-notch! Also, the pricing and quotes for all the work and parts were very reasonable.

Highly recommend ALTAP Electrical!

I didn't get to book Altap for service because I was able to resolve the issue. BUT, let me tell you, that Bahram (owner) was so friendly and responsive, that this is the reason why I will call Altap again should I need any help in the future. We must've had at least three phone calls, and many texts in between to communicate the issue and rates. I called close to the end of the day, and none of his guys were available to help. He sensed our urgency to get our power back and running, that he was going to drive to our home to help us himself. I appreciate his kindness, and we will call Altap to replace our entire electrical panel soon. Thanks Bahram!

I just want to say that our experience with Bahram and Altap Electrical has been nothing short of perfect. One of the most concerning aspects of hiring contractors is the fear of being taken advantage of, and I can say that you do not have to worry about that with Bahram/Altap. He is one of the most trustworthy contractors that I have had the pleasure to work with. Most of the time, he was spending time convincing me to cut out unnecessary work and suggested ways to save me money. Also he completed the work in a timely manner and was always there on time as promised.

I will be continuing to work with Altap for any electrical needs, and I highly suggest you do the same.

Just finished the project with Bahram. I woke up in the morning and half of master BD's outlets are out. I restarted the breaker and it didn't work.

I searched on Yelp for an Electrician near me, and Altap was one of the choices. My issue turns out very similar to R L.'s issues, neutral wire shorted. Bahram came in few mines before the appointment time, made sure the breaker panel was working, then he went to the room and found the troubled outlet, replaced the wire, and he was done in about 40 mins.

I paid his fee and material, the whole process took about an hour.

It was fantastic since I was in a meeting call and had to control my barking dog. He was able to navigate the whole chaos with calm and ease.

Thanks!

I was looking for a reliable contractor to install Nema outlet to connect my Level 2 EV charger. After checking Yelp reviews I decided to move forward with Bahram and his team. Bahram inspected my electrical panel, discussed possible issues and provided me with a fair estimate. He scheduled an installation day/time with me and arrived on time along with his team. The team routed around 80 ft of 6 gauge romex wire through the roof, connected it to control panel and placed an outlet on the outside wall of my house (I am not using garage as it was remodeled into extra bedroom). They also mounted the EV charger with no extra charge although it was not covered by the estimate. Power was only turned off for about 10 minutes while the new wire was connected inside the panel so didn't cause me any trouble. The job took around 3 hours overall and included zero hassle. I highly recommend ALTAP Electric as a reliable contractor. My only nit-pick is it took about a month from our initial conversation with Bahram until installation date. That's certainly not because he is ignoring the customer but rather has a lot of projects going on. 5 stars!

Bahram and his guy (Chris) did an excellent job in installing recessed lights in my living room and master bedroom. Both the rooms have vaulted ceilings, but Bahram explained me his approach and how the lights will be placed. He also suggested me to go with less number of lights (as compared to other quotes). His pricing is reasonable. No cuts on the walls. I am happy with the outcome, and would reach out to him for any future work !

Just an update on a 5-star rating as I am so impressed with Bahram's level of customer service.  We lost electrical power to our home the other night.  Not only did Bahram answer his phone and provided me with directions to reset the main breaker, but he also responded the next day for its replacement.  Thanks again, Bahram, for your integrity and the service you provide-

Bahram and Altap Electrical have been my 'go-to' electrician for a few years now.  I've used a couple of other companies over the years and they have been good too, but Altap is my 'go-to' because Bahram is really responsive and will come and take care of the issues quickly.  No frills, but certainly quality work!  

He did my recessed lighting and also other various outdoor lighting fixtures.

They just finished upgrading the main panel to 200 amp, add Tesla wall charger and a dedicated 20 amp line for treadmill. Happy with not just the end result but also the experience of working with them. I got several other quotes, and their quote was most reasonable (close to being lowest).
They were on time, came when they said they would, were respectful of the house and cleaned up after.
During the first visit they moved a few heavy items in garage and didn't put them back. After my complaint they took care of it next time.

On the final visit, they ensured that we have minimal disruption and power outage. Silicon Valley power disconnected power around 9 and we got it back before 4. They planned their work in a way that they finished most of the work in first two visits and got new panel mounted. On the 3rd visit when SVP came to disconnect power in morning, they were able to connect new panel quickly and get SVP back to reconnect power. This ensured that there was little to no risk of work not finishing on the day after power disconnect and us having to stay without power for longer than few hours.

Bahram and Chris did a great job!  I would highly recommend them.  They helped me run a new circut from my breaker box to an outdoor kitchen I was having installed.  They were professional, easy to work with, showed up on time, cleaned up, and did an amazing job.  

Next time anything electrical pops up, I'm going to give these guys a call!

Bahram was extremely responsive and very thorough. He arrived on time and sent the quote the same day. The job was to install the electrical for a charging station but he also found an issue with our electrical panel and just charged us for the parts - - not the additional labor. It was an issue that could have started a fire so we are extremely grateful he noticed it. He is very honest and is a genuinely nice person. If you ever need any electrical work done, this is a company you can trust.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  Bahram is first-rate and outstanding person, engineer, and electrician.  We had an electrical short -- he had to open up 10+ outlets to diagnose and fix the problem.  He worked systematically, patiently ruling out one possibility at a time.  In the end, working meticulously and persistently, he found the root cause and fixed the short.  He is also extremely pleasant and nice person.  We are grateful to have found him.

For some reason half the circuit on the same breaker was off while the other half was on.  They came the same day to inspect the issue, and was able to diagnose the problem very quickly.

This is the interesting part - turns out it was an issue caused by a shorted neutral wire in a DIFFERENT circuit  The electrician was able to trace to the source and fix it. Total time took 30min, mow the power is working normal again!

I definitely appreciate the speed of the whole interaction with Altap, weird power issue like this can mean a loose live wire somewhere in the walls, I was very scared of a potential fire hazard in this situation, especially during this COVID situation. Thanks Altap for your fast support to put our family's mind at ease!

We had them replace an exhaust fan in the bathroom and install recessed light in the closet. They installed plastic covering to catch all debris, left the place as it was before they came, and did an excellent job with both projects. They are going to be my first call for electrical work going forward.

Just echoing back whatever has been already said by everyone. We got couple of exterior outlets and security cameras installed. Excellent service all around.
- Right on time and finished everything as soon as possible.
- Spread blankets wherever they are walking/working, so that they don't muddy the floors. Cleaned up everything afterwards.
-  Kept the drywall cuts to as minimum as possible and patched up everything afterwards.

I highly recommend Altap Electrical.  I used the ThumbTack app to find an electrician to diagnose an electrical problem with my house.  Everytime an appliance was turned on, the lights in my house dimmed significantly.  I engaged another electrical contractor and they came out to my house and spent over an hour informing me that my 17 year old 200 amp electrical panel needed to be replaced as well as all of the electrical wiring in my 60 year old house to the tune of $66K.  After receiving this distressing news, I decided to ditch the ThumbTack app and went onto Yelp and found Altap Electrical.  I sent an email to the company and the owner immediately responded and asked me to send some photos of my electrical panel.  He then said that there is no way that the other contractor could be correct.  He asked if he could see the panel in person and I agreed.  

When Bahram arrived, he immediately said the issue I was experiencing was not due to the panel, nor the wiring in the house.  He advised to call PG&E immediately and inform them that I had an emergency.  I followed Bahram's advice and PG&E immediately came out and diagnosed the issue as an open neutral on their side of the meter.  Apparently, squirrels chewed through the wire on the power pole causing the situation.  After PG&E replaced the wire at no charge to me, my power was restored to its normal condition.  No dimming of lights whatsoever.  

Bahram's time and expertise was definitely worth his service charge.  I have already referred Altap Electrical to a friend at work and I heartily recommend them for any Yelper's electrical needs.

I had to upgrade my electricity panel for additional capacity to support air conditioning install. I reached out to Altap electrical based on Yelp review and I was not disappointed. He was quick to pick up the call and suggested keeping the price low and not ripping out the old panel housing from the wall.

Got my electricity panel upgraded by Bahram (owner). He also installed couple of power outlets in the house. He did a solid job with good results. I had some issues with power not returning to the section of the house connected to one particular fuse, and Bahram was quick to come over multiple times to resolve the issue.

One minor quirk with him:
He always picks up the phone within couple of rings, which has a side effect of being frequently interrupted by others customers while he is explaining you something.

I called Bahram for an estimate for installation of 27 recessed lights throughout the house.  So far, he has the best pricing.  I also found him responsive.  He emailed the proposal within 48 hours.  I have not decided on which proposal to accept, but I wanted to post this right away because Bahram was quick, professional and responsive.

Bahram and his team were great to work with. Bahram gave us his honest opinion and quoted over the phone/email. They installed 17 smart recessed lights for us with minimal mess.

The only thing is that if you are picky about where you want your lights (like I am) - you have to let them know. Bahram will gladly do what he can to help but if you don't say anything, they will place them in the most logical place for the install. I wish I had asked to have some lights in different places. But that's on me because I'm sure Bahram would do whatever he could to accommodate my requests.

Great experience with Altap Electrical! When I called, I immediately spoke live with Bahram and he was able to schedule a time for the very next day. Wall outlets on one side of the house stopped working, and he was able to quickly fix them. He took the time to show me they are indeed working again. The whole job was less than I expected and the work excellent. I will absolutely call Altap for any future electrician needs.

Bahram of Altap Electrical is great. We had some electrical blowout, caused by using a electric space heater. I was traveling, and my wife called Altap. Bahram showed up the same day, very quickly (it was a Sunday too). He was able to quickly fix the problem with our circuit breaker. There was another (unrelated) issue with the breaker - he fixed that too ! Since he was looking at the breakers, he noticed the other thing and fixed it by himself, without my even asking him about it !!!

Highly recommended !!! This is an A++ business...

I am very happy with the work that was done with Altap. I needed to put recessed lighting in one bedroom, and troubleshoot a problem with our bathroom fan tripping the GFCI outlets.
I contacted them through Yelp, and received a reply the same day. Once I chatted with Bahram about what we needed, he sent an estimate the next day. We set up a time within the week.
I was most impressed with how quickly the work was done. They arrived within the window I was given, and were done in under 2 hours.
I would absolutely recommend them based on the work they did, how quickly they responded, and how efficient they were when they completed the work. Bahram was also friendly and a pleasure to work with.

We had a little electrical emergency and were in need of service. We contacted Altap on a Sunday night and got a response from Bahram right away. Altap was able to schedule us in for the following day. Bahram came to our house and was able to diagnose and fix the problem in a short time. He explained the problem to my wife and made some recommendations as well. Helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and extremely professional. We unequivocally recommend Altap for your electrical needs.

Bahram was able to schedule us in for the same day with an hour window which is amazing and he was right on time! Bahram is very professional, knowledgeable and also very friendly. He was able to troubleshoot and determine the cause of the problem extremely fast.
My wife and I are very thankful for Bahram being able to fix our problem so quickly.

Had Altap (Bahram and his team) work on installing kitchen recess lighting and also had my old subpanel replaced.  He mentioned that my old panel might be prone to fire and best to get that replaced.  The cost was very competitive and you can tell they know what they are doing when doing the electrical work.  8 cans of recess lighting done in about 1.5 hours.  Much faster than i thought, but then, as i said, they know what they are doing.  Also patched up the ceiling.  Sub panel took about 4 hours with 2 person working on it.  
Bahram is very  pleasant to work with and they are on time and left the place clean.  I would definitely recommend him for your electrical work.

New stove had no power and called Altap and they were able to come out a few hours later and Bahram was able to diagnose the issue quickly.  Just needed a new breaker and he had asked me to take picture of breaker panel when I talk to him and send it to him to make sure he would have the correct type.   So, he had the correct type and easily switched it out and I was back up and running.
Completely professional and friendly and prompt.  Will use again if I have any electrical issues.

After another electrician put in LED flood lights in my back yard, he told me that the electrical panel was in bad shape and recommended I look into replacing it.  At that point he gave me a quote that seemed on the high side.

I went onto Yelp and found another two electricians and asked for quotes to upgrade the electrical panel and to see if they too recommend I replace the panel.

I eventually decided on ALTAP Electrical because of the stellar reviews and their price was very competitive.  I emailed Bahram and he sent me a contract to sign and the process was on it's way.  Bahram took care of the permits, PG&E hookup and the city inspector.  I just watched as everything went smoothly.

Bahram arrived on the appointed day with two of his employees.  The power was off at 8:30 AM and back on at 2:30 PM.  They needed to get to the crawl space to run the ground wire and to fix a small problem with the sheetrock, both times they came into my house they wore booties over their shoes and put down tarps on the carpets from the front door to the crawl space door.  I was impressed (and happy) because I have wall-to-wall carpets.

Great job all around.

I solicited 3 quotes to install a ChargePoint level 2 Ev charger in my detached garage.  Bahram's quote was the least expensive.  He has excellent Yelp ratings, which I relied on to assure myself that he would do an excellent cost effective job.

Bahram put my job on his schedule, and came promptly with an assistant.  He put down protective plastic and paper in my house to a avoid making a mess.   The job entailed working in the crawl space, adding a cable to my interior electrical panel, rearranging the circuit breakers, routing the new cable to my garage in a way that would not be visibly obvious, installing a new panel and outlets in my garage, and installing the charger.

Bahram did this work quickly, cleanly, and efficiently.  He caulked the holes he had to make in the exterior wall, and patched the plaster he disturbed near my electrical panel.  I touch-up painted the affected wall and the new conduit using left-over exterior paint.

The installation works and looks great.  I recommend Altap without reservation.

I had the pleasure of working with Braham for some electrical trouble over the weekend. I called and made an appointment for a Saturday afternoon. Braham came to my home at 11am within the 10-12pm window as scheduled.

I let him know that my downstairs bedroom outlets, dining room lights, and kitchen lights were not working. He checked the circuit breaker and found that there was a circuit trip that happened....I swear I had checked that darn switch multiple times and nothing had worked...

He must have some magical electric mind thing going on because I felt like a dummy having him come all the way just to flip a switch. But he did not stop there, Braham checked the rooms again, double, triple checking everything. When he did his last check on the switch he heard a weird buzzing noise. He said that was enough to open the circuit breaker and replace the bad breaker with a new one. So he did and I was so happy that he was concerned about my safety rather than just flipping the switch and charging me.

The invoice came out to be a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this business for those who need an honest electrician who isn't coming to just take your money.

He accepts cash or check.

Bahram is a truly excellent electrician. He is knowledgeable and his rates are very fair. We had a faulty electrical outlet that had been looked at by a couple of electricians, none of could figure out the issue. All of them quoted it as a 4-5 hour job. Bahram came to troubleshoot and solved it within 15-20 minutes. He only charges if he is able to fix the problem and has a flat price for troubleshooting. He was also kind enough to not charge me anything extra when i asked him to replace a ceiling light fixture that was no good. His experience and decency is why I would recommend him and make him my go to person for any electrical issues around the house.

We need to have an old electric panel replaced during the Shelter-In-Place under COVID-19. The challenge also included underground wire. We got multiple offers and Altap was the most reasonable one. Bahram helped to coordinate everything VERY smoothly. He contacted the city and demonstrated that it's an emergency case to get a permit under SIP. He planned everything ahead and coordinated with the city inspection and the utility company very well. On the work day, the job was complete by 3pm, including the reconnect of the power. We were very impressed by his prompt communication, the overall well organized job and the quality of service.

Half of the house was gradually losing the power over a period of a few days. We flipped the breakers outside the house a few times according to people's suggestions. That did not help. Called PG&E and a technician was dispatched over.  He inspected the electric pole and power lines outside the house, and told us nothing wrong on their side and we need to hire an electrician on our own for further examinations. Found Altap Electric on Yelp. Two recent reviewers had the exact same problem.  The owner is experienced, knowledgeable, and awesome.  Returned our call promptly and came to our house within 2 hours. He checked all the usual suspects from the breakers to every outlets that lost power. Nothing is wrong there. Then continued to test all the outlets in the whole house. Still could not pinpoint what is wrong. Eventually he asked me if there is an outlet behind the piano. Who would know that the never-used outlet behind the piano on the opposite side of living room wall is the culprit. Somehow it burned itself and stopped the power feed to the other side of the house.  It is a funny and happy ending. The total cost is the same as he quoted in the first phone call. I would strongly recommend Altap Electrical!

I will call him again if I have any thing need to be done with my electrical

I am writing with immense gratitude and appreciation for Bahram at Altap Electrical today. Contracted for a 200amp panel upgrade to our house yesterday. His communication was always clear and precise. On day of service, his team was efficient, finishing the job quickly & cleanly. He coordinated with the city for final inspection and permits signed off, pg&e, everything was done by 3pm and he departed, done.
But, due to no fault of Altap, a part of my house was not working properly. Power was out, lights flickering, bulbs literally blew. Bahram immediately came back, spent quite a few hours trying to diagnose the anomaly as night fell, then came back this morning and solved the issue- which was pre-existing wiring problem created inadvertently by a contractor who remodeled our kitchen years ago. Other's I think would have left me hanging by I sense Bahram was concerned for our family and fixing the problem. Throughout the whole ordeal, he was so professional, kept his cool and was immensely patient and fully focused on his craft. I cannot express how thankful our family is today for his sacrifice of time and skill to restore our home to normal. He is now on the top of my short list of trusted businesses and I highly recommend his with no hesitation to others.  THANK YOU AGAIN BAHRAM!!

A contractor came in to install a new cooktop for me, and after he left I found the wiring looked weird and some parts were not working. So I called Bahram. He came at the earliest possible time, discovered the contractor made mistakes on the wiring, and fixed the issue. It is really a blessing to have a reliable/trustworthy electrician like Bahram

I would like to give a shout out for Chris's work on a bathroom outlet problem we had.  He figured it out in about four minutes.  I showed him the outlets and he verified no power. The original builders installed a series of outlets for the washer  in the garage and bathrooms outlets with one, now 35 year old GFIC outlet in the garage. It had tripped and no one noticed it.  We didn't know they were one circuit.  The loss of power problem was expressing in the bathroom plugs with no GFIC outlets and not with any thing used often in the garage.  This was confusing without experience of such configurations. Plus that layout is based on old building codes.   Anyway the GFIC was 35 years old we decided to put in a new GFIC and the power is now flowing.  Altap Electrical thank-you!  I called two other firms but no one could come out until tomorrow.

We needed to install recessed lighting in 4 different rooms. Two of the rooms were pretty tricky. The whole process went as smoothly as possible. Bahram responded quickly to my yelp request and was very courteous on the phone and in person. He came in advance and took the time to discuss in detail our project and different options. He took our priorities and concerns very seriously, didn't rush, and helped us decide on the optimal lights arrangement. His quote was very reasonable compared to other quotes we received for the same job.
On the day of the job, Bahram and his helper showed up on time and double-checked with us all the important details before starting the work. All the work areas were covered and cleaned afterward. They were very efficient and finished all four rooms in one day plus two other small tasks. The end result is just gorgeous! Thank you, Altap Electrical!

Bahram and Chris are excellent, and in my opinion, they are as good as it gets.  I used their services as far back as 2014 to hang a light fixture, and again multiple times recently to install new recessed lightning, retrofit some CFL cans into LED lights, and replace some switches.  They are fast, efficient, courteous, and their prices are very fair.  The prep work and the clean up work afterwards were excellent.  Bahram is easy to get a hold of. The team is very prompt and do what they say what they will do. They are trustworthy.  As an added bonus, they are very nice people to talk to, as well.   I'll use them for all my future electrical projects.

It saves me money since my first thought that my circuit breaker was trouble and that should be taking care of. Thank you very much for your quick response

The communication with the owner, Bahram, was so easy and he was always quick to respond. He even texted me the night before to confirm our appointment. His worker who showed up was on time, worked very efficiently, was also a great communicator, was clean, and was extremely courteous. I have nothing but good things to say about this company and the workers. It's definitely my Go To for electrical needs!

He knows what is he is doing and also have a great business attitude. He prefers to have a phone call instead of chatting, so be ready for it.

Bahram or his crew have come 3-4 times to our home for remodeling or repair. They have been very professional and charge an honest rate. I highly recommend.

Worked with Bahram and his team to add recessed lighting to our house. They are very professional and accommodating in terms of scheduling the work. They have one of the most reasonable pricing among the contractors and more importantly they leave the house clean. I would highly recommend their services.

I recently had Bahram come over to repair some outlets that were not working and also to install a NEMA14-50 outlet for EV charging. He was very responsive via phone and SMS and was able to come and take a look at my house in a short notice.

While he was here, he did the work very patiently and thoroughly and did not rush through the work despite the after heat.  Definitely recommend Bahram for any electrical needs.

Bahram was amazing! Our A/C stalled and we have a 5 month old who relied on the cool temperature. Bahram came out late at night and spend several hours working to identify the issue. He even took a look at another electrical issue we had in our living room and was able to solve it! Dependable, honest and responsive, would definitely call him again - thanks, Bahram!

Bahram was incredibly honest, professional, and responsive, and did a great job installing an EV charger in my garage.  His price easily beat other quotes I received from other companies.  Would absolutely look to him again for any future electrical needs.

Great experience with Bahram from ALTAP. Fast response, Professional and knowledgeable. Bahram quickly nailed the problem that another guy couldn't figure out after hours of digging.

I reached out to Bahram for an install of a NEMA 14-50 50amp (40 amp continuous) for charging my EV cars. He is very detail oriented as he asked me to take pictures of the garage and took the time with me, over many msgs and calls, to figure out the most cost effective place to install the outlet. He was very flexible with the scheduling as well as I couldn't be around for the appointment until after my work schedule. He showed up on time, made a new square cutout in the garage opposite the outside main panel and promptly installed the new recessed outlet with the parts he'd brought. After the installation, I tested it by plugging in a Benz B-class that draws 40amp current and it has worked flawlessly ever since. Just want to say that Bahram is a very knowledgeable, patient and diligent electrician and pretty humorous. I would definitely use him next time for any future electrical work!

We used ALTAP to install recessed lighting in our 1937 house, and was happy with their service and clean work. We had a total of 8 lights installed in our living room and kitchen, and the process took an entire day. Bahram was able to schedule an installation within the week, and the guys who came to do the job were timely and responsive.

I do recommend the house being empty of people while the work is going on, as they clear much of the furniture and put down rosin paper and plastic sheeting everywhere. It's not really convenient to hang around or get your usual chores around the house done while they are there.

The work and wiring was clean, though I do experience a slight 1-second delay when I turn my living room lights on, which is a minor complaint. They used LEDs and the brightest setting is too bright for us, so we usually have it dimmed slightly. The lighting has made a huge difference in our home and we love it. I appreciated Bahram coming by after the job was done to make sure everything was done right.

We will definitely use ALTAP in the future for our lighting needs.

We had to add a few more lines to spread out the electrical load in our kitchen area. In addition, we need to add a NEMA 14-50 in our garage. Bahram was responsive, the price was reasonable and the job was professionally done (back in January).

We had Bahram and coworker come out twice for two different electrical issues. We requested a quote and Bahram was very quick to respond.  They came within the time frame expected, wore masks, kindly removed their shoes before entering and fixed the outlet problem quick! The other problem with the breakers Bahram tested and gave us great advice.  Both very friendly and professional!

Some lights from a circuit breaker don't work and some do. I was not able to pin point the problem. So I called Bahram.
Bahram gave an estimate over the phone and came within the time slot he promised. He looks very professional and experienced. He spotted the problem within minutes and got the problem fixed.

Both of my outlets in my bathrooms went out. I tried to trouble shoot it myself but could not get them to work. Bahram responded to my yelp message quickly and he was able to come fix the outlets that day. I was so glad that it was a quick fix and it only cost me the price for him to come out. I would recommend Altap to anyone of my friends for similar.    problems.

Bahram and Chris are fantastic. They are polite, reliable, helpful.. and were able to totally rewire our newly-bought Willow Glen home.

We had outlets moved, put in previously non-existent lights; (we had about 3 dozen LEDs installed, possibly more) the whole house was oddly sectioned, so they fixed that as well and installed our microwave and oven.

I struggle to say how many times we've had them over, definitely more than 5, and there's still more work to be done, Altap are now our 'go to guys' for electrical issues!

Having received excellent service in the past, I approached Bahram again early this year for a tremendous task:  To help members of our large condo association upgrade their 48-year-old electrical sub-panels. Bahram arranged a generous discount and worked with each of our participating members through their upgrades. Naturally, you might expect there would be at least a few complaints from among the 70-or-so unit owners participating.  Not. A. Single. Complaint!  Quite the opposite. I heard many compliments about Bahram from our members and reports about how professional his service was and easy he was to work with.  So you could sorta' say this review is from not just one, but seventy satisfied customers!

One word - FANTASTIC !
I reached out to Bahram for installing recessed lighting in our bedrooms after a friend recommended him. While he doesn't usually work in this area, he agreed to do it because of the referral. We communicated over email and phone about the specifics and I got a quote which was reasonable.
Bahram and his team came over at the agreed upon time - he called me about 45 mins in advance to let me know he was on his way. Once here, the team got going immediately -  The rooms were cleared, the carpet / stairway and the bed etc were covered with plastic sheets to avoid getting dirty.
By about 4 in the afternoon they were done, having installed 16 lights in all and 4 switches/dimmers. The quality of work is top notch. A few holes had to be poked in the drywall and they diligently put the pieces back in and spackled it. They removed the plastic, vacuumed the carpet etc and left the rooms extremely clean.
Now on to the final invoice. I was expecting to pay slightly more than what was quoted originally since Bahram had given me the quote sight unseen just based on my description of the project. He had to make a trip to Home depot during the day to get a different sized housing for the cans since there wasn't enough clearance for the larger sized cans he had brought with him. I was pleasantly surprised that the final invoice was exactly the same as his estimate.
They have excellent worksmanship as well as work ethic and I would happily recommend them to anyone.

I really cannot believe that how they can got 5 stars. They made so many holes for rewire just for their convenience, in a 25 sft area they made 6 big holes, and they just patch it simply, we need to a lot of work, like compound, primer and paint. In the whole project, they made more than 50 holes, which is very horrible. When they install the recess lights at the end, the hammer fell on the brand new solid wood floors many times and made lots of small pit. Will never recommend.

Bahram is so good.

Responsiveness: Immediately responded after I requested a quote.  I let it sit for about a week, got back to him, and then he immediately got back to me again.

Scheduling: So we've been in our house for over three years and needed to upgrade our outlets to GFCI.  I figured he'd give me some time a week or two out.  Instead, I spoke with Bahram today and he was out here this evening.  He asked about a 5-7 p.m. time slot but I didn't get home until around 6 p.m. so he gladly gave me a 6-8 p.m. time slot.  A couple other five star Yelp electricians told me it'd be 2-4 weeks (or more).

Pricing: Literally half the price of the quote I received from another five star Yelp electrician.

Courtesy: Shoes off in the house.  Friendly conversation.

Knowledge: He changed out the outlet without shutting off the power.  I assume I'd be lying dead on the ground if I tried to do that myself with the power on.  Also gave me some feedback on the wiring of one of the outlets.

It's very clear why he's so highly rated on Yelp.

During a recent heat spell, I came home from work around 6:30 and found the circuit breaker had tripped to our wall-mounted AC unit.  I tried resetting the breaker, but it wouldn't reset.  I unplugged the AC and tried again, but still could not reset it.  In a bit of a panic, as we were having guests that night and the house was at 87 degrees, I searched for an electrician that was still open (using the Open Now filter).  I found Altap Electrical on Yelp, called and spoke directly with Bahram.

I explained the situation and he said he could be there within an hour.  Because he knew it was the AC, he said he would do whatever he could to get it repaired that night.  He showed up on time and found the problem was a bad circuit breaker.  He was able to replace it in a few minutes and we were able to cool the house before our guests arrived.

He did a great job and we were very pleased.

He was not the cheapest quote I got at $170 to troubleshoot but he did respond quickly my phone call and email.  He also set up the appointment quickly and came out within three hours.  He replaced my AFCI circuit breaker with a regular circuit breaker which he said would be more reliable as the old AFCI breaker kept tripping.  He had the job done in about 20 minutes so he made good money but I have not complaints.  I would use Bahram again.

Yes. Altap truly deserves five stars. Bahram was very professional, prompt and is very good at communicating with his customer. He also has very good lighting recommendations. I will admit that when he first made some lighting suggestions, I thought he was trying to upsell me. I WAS TOTALLY WRONG! I went with his suggestions, and he was 100% spot on. The house looked great . So, if he makes a recommendation....and you can afford it....go with it!

In addition, of all the contractors I worked with during my remodel, Bahram was the best. Not only did he return my calls quickly and professionally, he was the only one that got the job done on time....in fact, he got the job done early. Plus, his customer service is excellent. One of the jobs we had Altap do was install some recessed lighting. About a week or two after the install, one of lights started to slip out about a 1/4 from the ceiling and wasn't seated flush. I just mentioned it to Baharm and he took care of it immediately.

I would not hesitate to recommend Altap to anyone. Thanks Bahram!

Braham is the Best. Was able to stop by at the same day as requested (urgent request). He was very helpful, friendly, and polite and was able to quickly problem solve the situation. He went above and beyond to help solve the issue. Price was very reasonable compared to other electricians. I strongly recommend Altap Electrical! One of the best company I've ever deal with!

11/12/18: Called Braham again for another issue (I live in an old house!), and he stopped by same day and fixed the issue really fast! Braham is such an honest guy and very helpful. Not just some guy fixing stuff and taking your money, charging ridiculous price. Altap Electrical is your go to Electrician! Best in South Bay!!!

5 stars - We recently contacted Bahram to install recessed lighting for our house. He asked for room dimensions and gave us a reasonable quote over phone. On the day of installation, his team showed up on time(which doesn't happen much with other contractors). They brought all the lights and other stuff needed with them.  They were all excited for the work being done and were able to finish it 2 hours earlier than expected. They even replaced an old fan for no extra cost and suggested work around options for some major remodeling work. I would definitely recommend them for any electrical needs

Bahram I must say is every punctual, very honest and a great electrician to hire. His team did the work fast and kept the home clean. We just bought a new home that was 40 yrs old. It need a new panel, it needed ceiling lighting in every single room. Bahram team worked on all our electrical issues in the house and garage. Now when you work into the house it just looks amazing. This man knows his lighting and knows how to create an ambiance. Of course he is ever respectful if you do not like his suggestions and wanted to go with your own choices.

We will him and again and again for our our electrical issues and will highly recommend him to our family and friends.

Very easy to work with and his prices are reasonable.

Bahram helped me out over the phone.  I sent him some pictures of the 240vac outlet I thought needed rewiring (wanted to add a ground to an old three wire plug).  He called right back and told me there was no need to rewire the outlet since the neutral was already tied to ground at the main panel.  He could have easily come out and rewired the outlet but instead told me to save his number for when I need other electrical work.  I sure will.

I'll keep this short.  ALTAP Electrical installed a new circuit breaker panel at my home.  Their price was reasonable, and the workers were prompt, competent and did the work on time.  Bahram coordinated the entire job.  Afterward. Bahram arranged for the utillity company to review what was done and  andle the work that would compete the job.

I was in phone communication with Bahram.  He returned calls promptly.

My conclusion:  He is reliable.  Use him.

On a Sunday, power went out in a few of my rooms, which included our internet and cable (gasp!). I tried to reset the breaker, but it wasn't working. So I called ALTAP and talked to Bahram and he said he could be there in two hours...yay!!

He determined it was a broken breaker so he replaced it and was done in a matter of 5-10 minutes. Since he was so quick, I also asked him to help troubleshoot some under-cabinet kitchen lights which he kindly did at no extra charge. I'd definitely call ALTAP again. Five stars!

I turned on my washer 5 AM. Immediately I saw light bulb flash, fire and flash light along the outlet as well as smell the burn. We tried to call three electrical contractors. Luckily, Bahram is able to come. It took only 10 min he find the problem. Bahram called PG&E immediately to report the emergency. The unstable power supply smash all my kitchen appliances, stereo system and small appliances. Bahram is not only amazing he save our 2 million dollars house, our life as well as bunch of wild birds, trees in my yards. If you have any doubt about your house electricity issue, DON'T WAIT, CALL BAHRAM

A few weeks late with this review which is inexcusable since Bahram may have saved my life when he identified faulty wiring in the panel box.  My washer stopped working mid-cycle, just died.  The dryer died 5 minutes later.  I called an appliance repair guy who told me that it wasn't the appliances, it was the electrical.  
After reading the positive reviews, I called Altap.  Bahram answered immediately (what? wow!)  and was able to come out late that same day which was fantastic.  Bahram showed me how the last electrician hadn't finished the wiring correctly and where the wires were burnt.  He said eventually I would have had a fire!  
He fixed the wiring fairly quickly--yay, a nice bonus that I didn't have to deal with a washer full of sudsy wet clothes turning to mold.
The last electrician did most of the wiring for my condominium complex, so Bahram's discovery was alarming.  I obviously shared with the HOA and my neighbors that they better get their electrical panel checked out, and if they are smart, they'll call Bahram at Altap!  I recommend Bahram for his experience, knowledge, fair market price, professionalism, efficiency and kind disposition.

I recently had some recessed lights installed by the Altap team and the overall experience was great.  I submitted a quote request on Saturday and heard back in a few hours.  Bahram answered some of my questions on Sunday and was able to squeeze me in for a Monday install.  His team came in and did a great job keeping things clean.  They even found time to take care of a few lingering items I had been planning to do myself but kept putting them off.  After a few hours they were done and everything works and looks great.  Definitely won't hesitate to call them again.

I met Bahram when he came over to my home to look at some pre remodeling work I was planning.  He gave me great ideas on lighting and improving room aesthetics.  Naturally, I hired him to install LED and track lighting.  Altap did a great job on the light installations and were very efficient with their time.  We could not be happier!

Several months later an unexplained lighting problem occurred that was not related to the remodel.  I called Bahram that evening and he came over the next morning and quickly figured out the problem and fixed it right away.  He only charged me a modest amount for the work.  Altap has earned a customer for life!

I am not a type of person who often leaves reviews/comments on Yelp. I left only a few reviews ONLY when I had complaints, but it's different this time. I am leaving a review with 5 stars.

I contacted approx. 10 contractors/electricians who install lights since my new living room light with a fan fixture was not bright enough. After a few consults, our conclusion came to recessed LED lights. I searched lighting installation companies on Yelp, contacted more than 10 companies that have higher than 4 star rating, and got quotes from them. Some of them including Bahram made a visit to my house for a free estimate, and others gave me quotes by email. ($$ per one recessed light and dimmer switch).

There are two main reasons I went for  Bahram.

1. Quality of the work was the first concern since we just moved into our new house. He sounded very promising when he told my wife about the work. I was at work, so my wife dealt with Bahram when he visited. According to my wife, Bahram seemed to know exactly what we wanted and what he would do. Bahram said we don't need to move any furniture/stuff in the living room and promised to cover all and clean after work. (See photos) In addition, my home has a crawl space above the living room, but the work still required cutting a small hole on drywall. Bahram's team cut the drywall, patched it, and painted it at no cost after installing the recessed lights. The cutting/patching is not even very visible and was perfectly done by his team. All the companies I got quotes from said they would NOT do the patch and paint job after installing the lights. Instead, they told me to hire another drywall contractor to finish the patch and paint work after they install. That would cost me extra $$, and who knows how badly they would ruin the drywall when they install the lights? I did not want to hire another contractor for some one else has done.

2. Cost was a second concern. Everyone should get all the quotes from all available contractors/electricians, but I bet Bahram would give the best deal. I don't think it would be appropriate to post exact amount here... Like I said above, I got quotes from more than 10 places, and the quote from Bahram was the cheapest. (much cheaper). And, my wife and I are happier with the quality of work at this price.

No doubt I would call Bahram for future projects and recommend him to anyone.

I called Bahram for estimates on a couple of small electrical projects in my house in response to a homeadvisor inquiry. He responded immediately via phone and offered same day service and an accurate estimate.

He is very responsive to calls and texts and was prompt with his service. When he finished the job at our house, he offered estimates on a few additional projects I've been considering. Definitely saving his number for future jobs.

Bahram is great.  He's done several jobs for us in the past.  The biggest was putting in recessed lighting throughout our town home in 2011.  It was reasonable cost wise.  He helped us replace a couple of circuit breakers as well.

He's honest and works with a high level of expertise and pride.  His employees were great and personable.  Highly recommend him.

I am the first time home owner, and don't know much about things like plumbing, electricity, and such. So I'm very careful with every decision I make in those areas as I want quality without overpaying.
I needed more light in my new home, so I talked to several electrician contractors to get their suggestions and quotes. Bahram was the first I talked to, and liked him right away. He certainly knows what he is doing. He suggests what is best for the place and not what is more expensive, he is very responsive and cares for his clients. Bahram's guys worked like a well-oiled machine together - fast, professional, clean. I'm very pleased with my new recessed lighting in the bedroom and living room. I also plan lighting improvement for my kitchen later and I'll certainly call Bahram.

I'm a very nit-picking guy. To give a review of 5 stars would be difficult from me. But if there's a SIX-star rating in YELP. Bahram, the owner, is definitely the one and I don't even need to have a second thought about it.

For the record, I hired him to rewire the whole house, install recessed lights everywhere, and upgrade the electrical panel from 100amp to 200 amps. As you can see, it's probably everything you can image about electrician.

Why I'm so happy?

#1: Honest
He will never sell something you don't need. Even you don't need it right away but better to have in the future. He will talk you out of it. He try hard in saving your money unless it's necessary. He is not selling you ANYTHING you don't need.

#2: Affordability (High C/P)
His quote is often 30-40% lower than other quote. But the quality is really good. You are paying for a Toyota and you got a Lexus. No complaint at all. To give an example, upgrade a 100amp to 200amp panel can easily top 3000 from many electrician. Try to call him and you can save a huge.

#3: Satisfaction
I just called him after 6pm on Friday. He picked up the phone without any hesitation. He is always there. Text, Email, Phone. He always visit my house per my request to give more consultation, and his guy make sure the house is clean, neat, and safe. If there is a need for permit, he takes care of you without any service charge.

The best out of the best, I probably owe him close to few thousands for all the jobs he have completed. He did not charge me for any downpayment. I keep asking him, how much do I owe you? Should I pay jobs that have been done? Guess what. He said not necessary. I can pay when EVERYTHING is complete and I'm happy. He always give you a quote in advance but he trusts his clients. I did not even sign any document (contract) and he just sent his workers to do the job.

I can only tell the quality of his work by its appearance. I am not an electrician so I can't vouch for the quality of his work. (Come on, if someone can judge this, he is an electrician and why the hell you need hire another?) But I can tell no difference between his work and other work done in my friend's house. But I save thousands of money and always, the most important, peace of my mind. (No rip-off)

By the way, he usually does NOT work with a general contractor. He runs business with the home owner directly to save your pocket. Well, you know the catch... the more middle man, the more overheads involved.

I'm glad that YELP help me find him. He is definitely the best out of the best.

I called Bahram for a quick estimate to replace a toggle switch with a zwave switch as i was unable to figure out the neutral wire. Since the work to be done was very minimal, he helped me out by asking me to send pictures and review before assisting me over the phone. It was very helpful and i was able to get the whole thing working in under 10 minutes ! Appreciate the kind gesture and will always reach out to him for any other future electrical needs.

Bahram to the rescue again. This was the second time we called Altap, this time to troubleshoot an outdoor electrical panel and not only did he fix that in short order, but also found and fixed a couple other minor issues as well. Bahram is very conscientious, meticulous, and efficient in his work. He is very transparent as to what he will do and how much it will cost - we will definitely call him anytime we need electrical work done in future.

I've been wanting to get some recessed lighting installed in the living room for quite some time.  I had some time off from work and decided it was time to take the plunge and get a quote.  I did my normal trolling on Yelp to find an appropriate contractor that I could contact to do the job and stumbled upon Altap Electrical.  I went to their website left them a short message with my contact information.  Bahram called the next day and offered to stop by that afternoon to provide a quote.

Bahram arrived and quoted a reasonable flat cost per light which included materials and installation costs which was beyond reasonable.  We parted ways and he said that he would email me with a quote and when he and his team might be available to come back out.  Within 30 minutes of him leaving, he called me back saying that he had an opening available the next morning due to a cancellation from a different client.  I jumped on the opportunity and agreed for them to come out the next morning.

At 8:30, bright and early the next morning, Bahram's crew came out and installed 10 LED recessed lights.  Before starting, they put pink protective paper down on the wood floors, and put up plastic on all the impacted areas to ensure that none of the insulation got all over the place.  It was like a small army descended upon our house!  He had 4 people doing their magic and within 2 hours they were done!   They were careful to clean-up the majority of the mess, and were a pleasure to deal with.  

I'm very pleased with Bahram and his team's work and looking forward to installing some additional outdoor lighting in the future.

Altap Electrical has done many quality work since 2014; I found Altap from Yelp. Bahram and his team recently completed the upgrade electrical panel and recess lights installation.  The team are always responsible and pay attention to details. When they finished the work, they always kept the job site nice and neat. We appreciate their professionalism and efforts.  Thanks!

I called Altap regarding switching a breaker to accommmodate a new electric range.  I spoke with Bahram and he asked me to send him a photo of my breaker box.  After he saw the picture, he advised me that nothing needs to be done.  Bahram was extremely helpful and also saved me a lot of money.  I will definitely keep his number for any future electrical work that would need to be done.

Behram is a great electrician! I wanted to install 40 amp circuit for car charger. He came the same day at 5 PM. Started the work with prep work to collect dust and dry wall hole material. I was super impressed with his knowledge and workmanship. Finished the work in less than 2 hours including helping me install the ChargePoint plug-in charger. I'd highly recommend him.

Excellent customer service and he knows what he's doing! He is very honest and truly wants to help you. I recommend this service! We needed to fix the electricity for one of the rooms in the house and he gave us a flat rate of $140 but said that he would only charge if he could fix the problem. He also came right on time.

This review is long overdue. I had Bahram and his team install bunch of led recess lights and replaced some of the old can lights thought out my house. His team was efficient and very thorough on their job.  I didn't like one of the outlet switch replacement they did. Bahram came back and replaced in a timely manner. He responded quickly for other projects as well.

It was just after break and my lights around the house had been having some issues.  Bahram was able to come out the same day even asking me how much time I'd need to get home so he could call me and let me know when he was going to head over.

After working with him to figure out exactly what was wrong he found the place where my wires burned out and fixed them right up.  Unfortunately it was on a light fixture that was a b*tch to put back on.  He didn't leave me hanging and spent the time to put the fixture back after fixing the electrical problem.  He charged what was an extremely fair price and headed out apologizing that normally he would do a better job cleaning the work area (there was some fried pieces of wire that fell on the floor), but that his other guys were waiting on him at another job (they called him twice).

So what did we learn?
- He values my time because he offered to call me when he was heading over rather than having me wait for him at home.
- He stayed to finish the job before taking off and actually fixed it even though he had a bigger job to go to.
- He made the effort to come the same day I called
- He was extremely fair about pricing for his services
- He was a really nice guy
- You should write him a check (he doesn't take CCs that I saw)

EXCELLENT!!!  We found Altap on Yelp and couldn't be happier.  I called mid week for a relatively quick two hour job, they were able to accommodate my request to come out that same Friday.  I asked them to change out a bathroom fan and two light switches, they did so very quickly and reasonably priced.  

The best part???  When I walked by the bathroom I looked in and he had the whole area taped off with plastic so when he left there was absolutely NO residue, dust, anything you'd expect to see after this kind of job.  

Very happy customer!

Just bought a new Chevy Volt and an after market 240V charging station for faster charge times.  Needed a 240V outlet for the charger.  That's where Altap came in.  Bahram from Altap electrical exceeded my expectations.  He was always easy to reach and responded in a timely manner.  Believe me, when life is throwing you curve balls time is of essence.  He was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and great attention to detail. Highly recommend Altap for any of your electrical needs.  Thanks again Bahran!!

Bahram was absolutely fantastic! The power for my 2 outlets that sourced my TV, TiVo, cable
modem, router would not reset from the circuit breaker like usual and I couldn't wait until Monday (it was a Saturday afternoon). He fit me in and came by shortly after calling him. He was able to troubleshoot the issue and replaced a few connectors. I am a DIY person and can usually do basic things myself. So, I felt better that this wasn't anything I could have done on my own due to the age of my home and complex wiring. Job well done! Based on this experience, I will likely call again to install lighting in other rooms and will know that it will be done right.

I called about a faulty security light, and Altap was the first to respond out of all my queries. They came the same day to troubleshoot the issue--turns out I installed the light correctly, but there was a wiring issue within the wall. They fixed it that day, no additional charge. I couldn't be more impressed and happy with the results!

We purchased an old single family and hired Altap for a bunch of electrical work before we moved in. I talked to the owner Bahram on the phone and was able to make a free estimate appointment immediately. On the day of our appointment, Bahram was punctual, professional and easy to talk to. He listened to what we wanted to get done and also made some recommendations about what we could do. The thing I was most happy about is that Bahram was able to schedule two electricians to work on my house within a few days and finished the interior work before my house cleaning appointment and our move-in date. We appreciated it a lot.

We ended up doing the following things: upgrade the old fuse-based electrical panel with a new panel, ground a few outlets throughout the house with dedicated lines connected to the panel, install six recessed lights for the living room and fix a bunch of other small electrical issues around the house, such as installing motion sensor light, fixing improper wiring, etc. In fact, the other bids we obtained was cheaper. But Bahram was able to come close to the other bids and offered a bunch of small fix-ups for free. Overall, the quality of their work was great. Bahram has been very responsive with emails and texts about our questions and concerns. We had a great experience overall and would highly recommend Altap for electrical projects.

Bahram and his team are top notch.  Not only are they extremely friendly, they are timely with their work.  They take the time to make recommendations and try very hard to take into account any specific details the owners would like to incorporate.

We had his team install about 30 cans + a 240v EV charger/plug and both jobs went smoothly.

What is great is that they are trustworthy, competitive on their bids, and straightforward in their approach.  The quote was so fair, I didn't even bother negotiating.

Not only will they have my future business for any new projects but also will recommend them to anyone that I know!

We had a short circuit on my master bedroom where me and my baby sleep. I immediately called Bahram after I browsed for good and reliable electrician around where I live. Turned out, Bahram went to our house an hour after I made the call and the problem was solved half an hour later. We are really satisfied with his service and politeness, a rare quality you can find these days. He also gave me quotes for recessed lightnings on my kitchen. He advised to us what's needed to be done and what's not. Thank you for coming during emergency times (apparently the short circuit could cause a fire if not treated immediately), would definitely recommend this company to our friends and relatives.

I was so lucky to have Bahram come over and install my Tesla 240 plug. This is the man to hire (and his team must be as good) for any job. He is perfectionist, philosopher and a great engineer. After he installed the 240 plug with the proper circuit breaker and cleaned everything, he realized I have a loose 110 plug, without me asking him, he went ahead and fixed it, no extra charge!!!
I highly recommend Bahram and his team, it is very rare to find passionate people doing great job, Bahram is one of them.
I will try to find anything in my house that needs his work!

Very glad I went with Altap! I highly recommend Braham, he fixed our circuit problem quickly at reasonable cost. Braham is very experienced, treated us very professionally and was upfront about the cost and work. Believe me, you will not regret working with him.
Our home had a dead circuit but circuit breakers checked out all fine. Called Altap on Saturday morning and got appointment same day. Braham arrived on time and meticulously checked out each circuit box until he found the problem. A bad connection was hidden in the back of one of the circuit boxes. Braham had the experience and skill to solve the puzzle. Along the way he fixing shoddy wiring as he found them. I think he showed a lot integrity in what he does and highly recommend him. I highly recommend Braham.

He took care of everything including: working with PGE and setting up inspections and helping with permits. He explained the process very well and was easy to get in contact with. If you are looking for an electrician he is the one to go with. I am very pleased with the end result.

I was mowing the lawn with our electric mower when all of a sudden it stopped working. Went inside and found out 4 of our outlets stopped working. I called ALTAP and spoke with Bahram. Since it wasn't an emergency I scheduled an appointment for a few days later. Fast forward to yesterday, Bahram came to the house and within a few minutes he figured out we had fried one of the breakers. Everything was fixed within 20-30 minutes and Bahram was kind and professional. I highly recommend ALTAP, they are professionals not looking to rip you off. Thank you Bahram

We recently moved into our new house and found that there were a number of electrical issues we needed to resolve. I called a number of electricians, but each one wanted to charge for a service call just to get a quote. I finally came across Altap Electrical and gave Bahram a call. He stopped in on the same day to take a look.

We had recessed lighting installed in several rooms and a number of sockets grounded. Before starting on the work, they covered and protected all the floors and furniture. The work was completed very quickly and everything was patched up and cleaned. Everything passed inspection with no issues at all. Fantastic company.

Here's what you need to know about Bahram and Altap Electrical.  The electrician that came to my house had been in a serious car accident, ending up with a totalled car, Bahram's car broke as well, and they still came out on time.

They did the work contracted for, they cleaned up after themselves, explained everything, and left right on time.  I am very, very happy with their work and I recommend them highly.

We wanted to get LED recessed lighting for our living room, family room and kitchen and also have some exhaust fans installed in our bathrooms. After getting quotes from several electricians we decided to go with Bahram because his was the most reasonable and accurate and also because of all the good reviews on yelp.

Bahram came across as an honest gentleman. He gave us very good advice on the placement of lights, the quietest exhaust fans, etc. And there was no up-sell or pressure. He is very prompt in answering emails, text or calls. We only had to pay after the whole job was done.

His crew of 2 people got the job done quietly and efficiently, They laid plastic on the floor and furniture to protect from the mess. They also moved some of the furniture out of the way while installing the lights. They cleaned up the place after they were done and everything was put back neatly. They had to do some small drywall cutting which they patched up quite well.

We are very pleased with our new lighting and fans and would highly recommend Altap Electrical. Will definitely be using them for our future electrical needs.

Bahram agreed to come to our home on a Monday evening to do a free quote when we decided to finally put in some recessed lighting. Not only did he work around our buys work schedule, but he was knowledgeable, and offered what we thought was a very fair price. He had a cancellation the next day and within two days of our initial consult we had a crew of 3 guys come and install lighting in our kitchen, living, and dining room. We are very happy with the results. There were some problems with one of the new dimmer switches and Bahram came himself the next day to install a new switch and fix the problem. After 8 months of cooking by the light of the stove top we can now see. Amazing!

I needed additional circuits in my garage.  Bahram showed up on time and asked a lot of questions about my requirements.  He proposed a practical solution and quickly sent me a bid.  The price was competitive and he was able to schedule the work within a few days.  His communication with me (voice, text and e-mail) was excellent.  He personally arrived on time to do the work.
The upgrade is exactly what I wanted.  
I'm very pleased to have found a contractor who listens to my needs and does good work.  Bahram personifies my ideal of a professional contractor.
I will certainly call Altap first the next time I need more electrical work.

I am so happy with the results that I had to write a review as soon as I had a min. I found this place through Yelp, among a few other places. I called everyone leaving a message explaining we had open beam ceiling and needed a quote to put a light fixture up. Bahram from Altap was the only one who returned my call in 30 mon or so and came out within an hour to give an estimate! He suggested we do a few recess lights instead of a light fixture. I wasn't sure but I decided to trust his judgement. He was able to come 2 days later to do the job and it took his crew half a day to finish. They were so nice and cleaned up the place after they left.  The best part, my husband and I LOVE the recess lights. They look great and now we can enjoy a well-lit living room:-)))

I would highly recommend ALTAP Electric.  We had them do extensive work on our new home this month.  This included adding recessed lighting to two rooms, grounding ungrounded wiring in much of the house, updating the box from 100amp to 200amp, adding a dryer outlet with wiring and removal of old knob and tube wiring throughout the house.  Bahram, the owner, is very easy to work with and, as other reviewers have noted, extremely honest, reasonable and friendly.  His team is good to work with as well.  

If you want an electrician who is  very reasonably priced, provides quality work and will always be upfront and honest with you about your electrical needs, Bahram and his team are your guys.  I can not stress enough how honest Bahram is.  He will never sell you anything you don't need and will work with you to save money at every turn.  He is also very good about working with the city for any needed permits and will personally make sure there are zero problems before he is done with the job.  Doing extensive work on a new house was stressful, but Bahram made sure the process was as easy as possible.  We were certainly pleased with the work done.

I can't recommend him enough.  Don't waste your money elsewhere.

5 stars because:

2) Bahram was very respectful towards us both, but particularly my mother for whom the work was being done.
3) He identified and fixed the problem within a few minutes. Then asked if there was anything else we needed.
4) He looked at the other thing (garage light) and fixed that, too.

All around nice job!

I wanted to install recessed lights on the ceiling in three rooms. I got estimates from a few contractors. Bahram offered me the best price and also was available the same week to get the job done.

The two electricians that showed up on the day of the job were very professional. They covered all the walls and floors with plastic sheets and cleaned up all the debris after they were done. The staff were experienced and very knowledgeable. Bahram was very honest when I was asking for suggestions regarding other electrical work that I wanted done. I strongly recommend Altap electrical for any electrical needs.

Bahram is  undoubtedly the best in bay area when it comes to electrical work. We called him to get recessed lights in our living, dining and kitchen and he responded immediately. He came over, gave us a best quote . His team is very professional and they finish the job, quickly and also cleaned up the place after the lights were fixed. In addition, they also fixed a couple of other electrical issues without any extra charge.

If you need electrical work, then strop your search and just reach out to Bahram.

I checked reviews on Yelp before having Bahram come over to my place. My wife and I care about aesthetics when it comes to lighting, and wanted something custom for our family room. We were pressurized to agreeing to what he has to say. We are all for taking suggestions - but coming into our house and telling us you don't know what you are doing and you are messing up the place is very strong. Anyway, we thought we'll give them a chance and decided to do the recess lighting in some of the other rooms. They got done in 2 hours - it was very neat and efficient. The lights were definitely too bright for our taste -yes, they added a dimmer but it is not the same. Differential and localized lighting is a design taste and enhances the room. Overall the job was good for what it is supposed to be. But it has left us a little disappointed because we were right about what we wanted and thankfully did not do anything in our family room. Anyway, these guys are good at what they do, but don't hire them if you want to be creative. They do the same thing day-in day-out, so it is just an efficiency game for them. We will probably look for some designer inputs and custom lighting professionals to make our house look nice.

It's been awhile since I have used Altap, though I have been forced to use other electrical contractors since we moved from South Bay.  These guys are still the best electrical folks I have ever dealt with, hands down.

6/8/2014 I had a problem at my breaker and it took out a whole line. It was on a hot Sunday afternoon. The refrigerator was out, due to that. I called Altap and left a message. Barham was very quick in returning the call and because of the refrigerator
being out, he said he would come by in 1.5 hrs on his way back from another visit. He showed up around 1hr 20min and got it all fixed and gave us helpful suggestions to conserve. I would definitely call Barham again for any electrical issues.

Bahram at Altap is the most honest and polite subcontractor that i have worked with.  Not to mention his work is meticulous.   He and his staff did all the electrical work in our house and we had a couple hiccups that had nothing ot do with his work but he came over and took care of them without any reluctance.  My family and I continue to use his for our electrical needs and he's always prompt, reliable, and great at what he does.  

I rarely give reviews unless one goes above and beyond.   Altap way surpassed my expectations.  We highly recommend him.

Bahram was fantastic!  He really has great customer service.  We had to have our electrical panel replaced due to the old one being a fire hazard.  In addition, we needed a car charger installed for our Nissan Leaf.  He and his crew were on time, and did a very professional job.  They also gave a very reasonable quote compared to other electricians out there.  They were quick and efficient in installing our electrical panel, and cleaned up after their mess.  Even a few months later, I thought something went wrong with one of my outdoor lights, and Bahram came out and inspected the cause of the outage.  Turns out my light fixture was just broken.  He cares about his customers, even after the job is finished.

Altap has helped with a number of electrical jobs at my house including upgrading our panel, as well as adding recessed lights and outlets to my renovated garage. Bahram and his team are always courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I compared several bids for the panel upgrade and found Bahram's price to be significantly more reasonable. I would hire Altap for all future needs.

Got my first home and I wanted to install recessed lights and add a few outlets. I was worried because the bedrooms had a vaulted/slanted ceiling. Bahram said no problem and also suggested to add recessed lights in the kitchen (was fluorescent lights). I was worried about cost, but he kept it to a minimum. I was also worried that I would have to do a lot of patch up work since the place was newly painted.

His guys finished everything in 2 days (7 lights in living room, 4 lights in kitchen, 5 lights in 2 bedrooms each, plus some other outlets).  I was amazed because the lights in the bedrooms were nicely placed and needed NO patchwork. Only area that really needed patchwork was the kitchen but that was because the fluorescent lights were replaced.

His suggestions were great and I love the lights!  His price was the most reasonable (out of 3 contractors I asked, and the others were not willing to do recessed lights on the slanted ceiling).

Bahram ALWAYS answers his phone and he is so nice and professional. He answers all emails late at night...best to get him on the phone.

Now I'm thinking to get more light (should have changed the hallway lights)...Bahram, I'll come back to you when I'm ready!

We had a breaker issue and our garage had no power in which PG&E advised we should get an electrician to take a look at it. I initially called Altap before I received quotes from 3 other electricians and none of them could beat his price. Called Altap back and spoke with Bahram who was able to come by the same day. He did some troubleshooting and found exactly where the problem was. Although my yard and home was a bit difficult to maneuver thru, he was very patient through out the entire process and was able to get everything fixed in a timely manner. Overall, Bahram did an outstanding job and provided me with honest, straight to the point service. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of electrical services and would definitely go back to him if I ever need anything else done in my home.

Bahram from Altap is the rare contractor who answers his phone most of the time or calls back really fast. I found him from yelp and was impressed by the reviews. The work was even more impressive. His team completed their job fast, got along with the other contractors who were working on other stuff at the same time.
So from not having lights in a house we were moving into, to knowing how much it would cost, and having all the lights up and running within a short duration of 3 days was nothing short of amazing.

Bahram is AMAZING.  One of my tenant's old breaker is broken and my usual electrician is out from the flu.  I called out to a few electricians.  Some did not call back.  Some do not deal with multifamily.  Bahram picked up the phone.  He immediately understood what needs to get fixed and gave me a quote on the phone which I am fine with.  As a property manager, I hate coordinating with tenants and tradesmen.  Bahram said: Give my number to your tenants so the tenants can contact me directly so we can arrange for a time to get this done.  You don't have to get involved as I know your time is valuable.  I was so amazed.  That afternoon, my tenant told me the problem has been fixed.  My tenant's comment about Bahram, that guy is great. He actually helped me with other items around the property.  He is my FIRST go to guy for all electrical issues from now on.  I know he is going to be very busy with all these great reviews.  He deserves it.

Altap Electrical is amazing.  I can not speak highly enough about the quality, of not only the work they do, but how quick and responsive they are.  Bahram is very quick to respond to phone calls, emails, and even text messages no matter the day or time!

Altap Electrical upgraded our panel, ran dedicated circuits, and even fixed a major issue we had with one of our outlets.  It is already in the works for them to come out and do more work for us.

There is absolutely no other electrical company I would rate as high and recommend as much as Altap Electrical.

These guys are the real pros! I just moved into a new house and needed to get some items completed per my home inspection report. These guys seemed expensive due to the many great yelp reviews. But I called Altap anyways to speak to someone about my circuit panel and get expert advice. To my surprise, their price was the best I found. Long story short, I hired them to do all my electrical needs because they have the best prices and I felt confident they were professionals just by speaking to Bahram. I explained to Bahram all my concerns and requests. Then they came and they conquered. The results are fantastic and I'm a happy man. Bahram and his team did a stellar job and I'm every bit satisfied with their work.

I called several electricians to do a full install of a ceiling fan (running wires, connecting to switch, etc.) and to rewire an existing fan. Bahram not only gave me the best price, but was able to come just a few days later.  He and his team came in and were done in just a few hours.  We did have one remote receiver that fried the afternoon after they left (manufacturer fault all the way!), but Bahram came by the next day and fixed it for the price of a new remote.

Very professional and I would have them come back for more work if needed

I called Bahram to install a hardwired 240V car charging station. He gave a convenient appointment which I had reschedule due to my reasons. He accommodated the change and was on time for the installation. Did a great job, used higher gauge wire and breaker, mounted the unit nicely and cleaned the work site. I would highly recommend him and the charge was also reasonable.

Bahram and Altap Electrical were great.  They were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable.  They were always very prompt in responding to any emails or messages left for them.  They installed 34 recessed lights in my home and performed a few other minor electrical tasks (like moving light control switches) for no additional cost.  They went above and beyond what was strictly required of them in order to make sure I was fully satisfied with the work.    I would highly recommend Altap.

Before I could get my issues solved (outlets missing in a house we just moved in and defective wiring in the pantry) I had to call at least 7 different companies over 3 days. Of course before to reach out to these companies I inquired a lot to ensure I would deal with reliable people. Unfortunately these companies have not called me back or they did to apologize and share other referral because they were full booked. I ended up going on Yelp and found some good reviews about Altap. I gave them a call early in the morning and talked with Bahram about our needs. I was pleasantly surprised as Bahram said he would be able to stop by the same day to have a look. He came on time (he gave us a call to share an update on his schedule to make sure we would not wait for nothing - and we really appreciated his concern) - had a look and shared his quote (orally). He said he would do his best to send his team the same day and that he would call me later. Bahram did call me back few hours later to apologize as his team could not deal with this the same day but he let me know that they could do the work the following day. The following day Bahram called me back to set a time and his team arrived accordingly. They did a really nice job, fixed the wires issues and installed the outlets as planned. The overall team was extremely polite, professional, very responsive, and did not make me wait forever before they could do the job despite the fact that my project was just a very small one. I am glad I found a reliable electrical company for our future needs. I found that Bahram was extremely responsive, trustworthy. Consequently, I highly recommend Bahram and his team if you need any electrical work to be done.

As a first time home owner, it was very hard to find the right electrician. We interviewed alot of different candidates. I am so glad we found Braham. He is so patient with all of our questions and always returned all of our calls right away. His work is great and he is very time efficient. He rewired our whole house, changed our amp from 100 to 200, put in recessed lights, ceiling fans, and bathroom fans. Braham is great! He really know what he is doing.

I bought an old 1952 home in a state of disrepair.  ALTAP did a service panel upgrade, rewired my entire house to be up to code, and installed sconces, fans and new dimmer switches and outlets.  Also, Bahram gave me a competitive price for installing ~37 new recessed LED lights.  

Since my home was undergoing an extensive remodel, the process took months (not Bahram's fault) but Bahram was very patient with me.  Bahram took care of the permits and when I lost the paperwork due to the move he went to the City and got new copies for me.  

When the final City electrical inspection took place, Bahram showed up early and made sure everything went smoothly.  He went out of his way to comply with some last-minute requests the inspector made and saved the day.  Later, there was a problem caused by the City's requirements, and Bahram knew the problem and resolved it immediately.

Bahram is courteous, responsive, and always willing to help.  Thank you, Bahram!
I give an A+ to ALTAP and Bahram!

We hired ALTAP to complete a few different scopes of work at our new home that we purchased in December. They installed recessed lighting in the front half of the house, replaced the existing electrical panel, routed all the electrical needed for our kitchen remodel up to code, and installed outlets along the outside of the house. Bahram was our main point of contact and was very communicative and clear throughout the multiple scopes of work involved. He was always available and recommended when his team should come for each phase. His prices were very reasonable and was happy to come back in case there was any corrective work required. He would call in case an issue came up in the field so you had an opportunity to discuss a resolution. Finally he was more than happy coordinating with another vendor we had since when their scopes of work required a bit of overlap and intersection. Would highly recommend!

I found Altap Electrical after searching for an electrician on yelp, because my ceiling fan and light stopped working. Since they had good reviews and are open on the weekends, I decided to call and make an appt. Bahram offered to come that same day, which was a Friday, although I wasnt available on a weekday.  It was Labor Day weekend coming up, and he offered to come over on Labor Day even though  they were supposed to be closed.  When he came over, he found the problem immediately, and he fixed it within minutes. He only charged me for the labor which was very reasonable.
I really recommend Bahram. He is a very nice and honest person.  He even suggested some other future remodeling recess lighting which would help the lighting in my livingroom and may even be cheaper in electricity.  I definitely recommend Altap Electrical and will be contacting Bahram in the future for any electrical updates to my place and/or problems that might occur again.

I had an outstanding experience with Bahram and Altap Electrical team in the summer of 2015: by far the best experience I have had with any contractors. We needed to have several ceiling fans and recessed lights installed in the house. Not only his rates were reasonable he went way beyond his initial commitment to deliver the job with highest quality and in a timely manner. He and his team were professional and courteous from start to the end. Even afterwards he was kind enough to answer my other electrical questions and provided me with helpful guidance.

I called to ask to inquire about a lighting issue I'm having. After giving me an initial quote, he changed his mind in the middle of the conversation and told me that the problem was a waste of his time unless i was willing to spend significantly more money to re-do the entirely lighting system. In general, he was very rude on the phone and wasn't interested in helping.

Altap Electrical upgraded our electric panel and we were very pleased with the result of the work. The price was competitive and they were able to do the work as we asked (replace the panel in place of the old one instead of moving it to another wall as some other contractor suggested they would do). They were able to even do some extra work to improve some existing fixture without additional charge. Mr. Bahram was very professional and a very kind person. He spent extra time to test the work and to respond to our questions and concerns. Would hire again and would recommend to anyone. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

We were looking for someone to run wiring for our home theater speakers in our townhome.  The first company that bid had some very complicated proposals for wiring for the rear channels, but the estimator from Altap had a brilliant idea - he noticed the lighting in the family room was weak (single fixture in center), and suggested we add recessed lights and use those holes to run the rear channel speaker wire.  The bid was reasonable, the work was scheduled quickly, the installation was professional, and most importantly, the lighting is a huge improvement.  I'm very glad we called Altap!

Bahram did some work for my daughter and it was so well done, she recommended him and Altap Electrical to me. I had recessed lights placed in my living room, my kitchen, and my rec room. I had all my outlets and switches replaced to white in the new design. I had two lights replaced, one ceiling fan and two bath fans replaced. I am absolutely thrilled with all of it! He took one look at some original fluorescent lighting in my kitchen and suggested I consider changing it. I did and it and the rest of my home looks absolutely amazing. They clean up after themselves, they make it all cosmetically appealing, they show up on time and work until the job is done. I am so glad I found them...Can't say enough about how pleased I am!!!

Two days from my first call I have an entire new living room and entryway lighting system, and all for less than the online price estimator told me it should cost! I would recommend Altap to anyone.

We remodeled our home couple of months ago. ALTAP Electrical installed recessed led lighting and fans in all rooms of our house. They also installed new led light bars in our bath rooms. They have done a fantastic job.  Bahram first came over for an in-house consultation. He gave us useful tips for lighting throughout the house.  He then scheduled the work just a few days later. The installation guys were experts and also very friendly! In couple of days, they completed all the work as promised. Bahram is a wonderful person to work with.  I would definitely recommend them to my friends and colleagues. They really deserve 5 stars. If there are more stars, I would have given them. Impressed.

Very impressed.  

We had a portable heater that has been tripping breakers if a computer printer is also in use; usually we just reset the breakers.  A few days ago the portable heater power went out again, but this time the breaker DIDN'T get tripped, so we have a couple rooms having no electricity.  Called Altap today early afternoon and Bahram was able to squeeze in my appointment into his schedule to come by in the evening.  After he arrived, I followed his troubleshooting process and learned that he treats this kind of diagnosis work with high priority, and it makes sense, since the root cause could be some very serious issues with huge safety and $ impact!  Very impressed with his professionalism.

His rate is also very reasonable, lowered than three other companies I checked.  it's rare to have high quality professional work comes with most competitive rates.

Now we have electricity and feel very relieved that we have a trustworthy electrical company to work with when future problems comes up.  

Thanks Bahram.

Very happy with the work - really nice job, good advice on where to put lights, and really easy to work with.  We'll definitely have Bahram / Altap back to finish a few other projects.  

It was a relatively large project so we bid it out to a couple other highly rated electricians.  Altap came in with the most reasonable prices.

Two very pleasant electricians came to my home and did an excellent job of installing a new, three-pronged (grounded) circuit in my bedroom. It is a dedicated outlet for my treadmill, and they had to run wire under the house and up into the attic to get it to the panel, which is on the opposite end of my house. They put down plastic on all the carpets and cleaned up perfectly after they were done. If I have electrical work in the future, I would call them again without hesitation.

Awesome. Even helped me push my washer/dryer stack back into place after fixing the 220 outlet.

We were in desperate need of lighting in our new home so, I contacted Bahram. His team installed recessed lighting in my parents home, and they were happy with the results so I took their recommendation. Bahram answered the first time I called, we scheduled a consultation, and they were installing 27 recessed lights in our home the following week. It only took 1.5 days for installation, and they did it all while we were at work. The most impressive thing is they moved the furniture out of the way and back where it was, then they cleaned/vacuumed the floors when they were done. I really couldn't even tell work was done, aside from the beautiful new lights we had. The best thing about ALTAP is that their rates are very competitive, my dad was quoted three times as much from another electrician. For the amount of work they do to install these lights, it is definitely a great deal. Our experience with ALTAP was pleasant, painless, and smooth. I highly recommend these guys!

I cannot tell you how pleased I am with Bahram and Altap Electrical.   My call was responded to within 15 minutes of calling.   I discussed my problem with Bahram and he responded in a way that I immediately knew he was a smart, honest  and caring individual.   He came the next day at exactly the time he said he would and fixed my problem at a reasonable cost.  I have been reading some of the other 5 star reviews and can see we all feel the same way!  This, too, is my first positive Yelp review, but I was so impressed with this business that I felt I had to tell others.  It's hard to find quality people and service  and someone you can trust, and Bahram is one of them.

One of our circuits suddenly went dark. My step - son thought it might be the circuit breaker so we changed that, but still no light. I called ALTAP and Braham said he would come in a few hours the same day. He came and tested the outlets in the affected area and asked a bunch of questions, then he homed in on the dining room ceiling fixture.  When he removed it, sure enough,  that's where the short was. This all took about half an hour.  I was very impressed that he found the problem so quickly.  He was very professional and pleasant.  I highly recommend this service and will call him next time I need an electrician.

We needed to install recessed lighting in a room with 24 ft vaulted ceiling. Few of the companies said that they will have to rent scaffolding which were expensive. Bahram took up the challenge and came up with the idea to install the lights more closer to lower end of the vault at 20ft, than going all the way high. This way he could work with just ladders. He provided excellent service and was very patient in trying out different light lumens at that height as I was not sure what Kelvin scale will work for the house. He had to do multiple iterations to get the right lighting. He is extremely patient and professional. I have never worked with someone who is so patient and is on your side. You can't go wrong with Altap electrical.

Truly exceptional electrician. ALTAP helped fix my old electrical panel. Bahram did a wonderful job, and was flexible in appointment time. Bahram puts customers first, and comes with great confidence to solve all electrical problems. I will definitely use ALTAP again.

I must add more to all these praises for Bahram!  He is so honest and patient with the work. Their motto is if they can't fix it they won't charge you which is pretty cool. We didn't have electricity downstairs in certain parts of the house for over 2 years and couldn't figure out where the problem was. It took a while and by the end of the first visit he couldn't figure it out so he stood by the motto. It took a second visit when he had A bright idea and found the problem and lo and behold we have light! Very fair pricing,  we were not dissappointed =]

I called Altap Electrical and spoke with Bahram about the electrical outlets of an interior wall in my house stop working.  Bahram came on time per the appointment time, expertly diagnosed the root cause of the problem and performed the corrective action quickly.  I am extremely satisfy with the quality work done by Bahram and the reasonable cost for the repair.   I will definitely recommend Altap Electrical and Bahram to family and friend for any electrical works.

its seems to be difficult to find an electrician in the San Jose area that has a good rating.  After much research I stumbled upon Altap and after discussing our issue with Bahram I felt very comfortable having him come and fix our simple issue with a circuit breaker at one of our rentals.  He even followed up with a phone call and the tenant was very happy with the work.  Will definitely being sending  more work his way when the need arises.

It was after 6pm, we need the service. I found Altap Electrical on Yelp. It was the only shop that opened until 8pm. After the call, Bahram showed up quickly, and identified and fixed the problem within  one hour with reasonable price. It was impressive. Would highly recommend.

I needed to get a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed (with a 120 v outlet) in my garage and decided to go with Bahram and his team. He and his team did a phenomenal job. Not only were the reasonable, they were really polite and courteous. The finished the job and after thy were done I didn't even realize they had done anything because their workmanship was superb and they kept everything clean and neat. I would highly recommend them and look forward to using them in the future.

We needed some electrical cabling rerouted for an interior door install. I sent the owner a couple of snaps of what was needed. He quoted me a very reasonable price, arrived promptly with his team and completed the work very quickly. Great work and service!

I called with an urgent request and Bahram saved the day.  He showed up within 20 minutes, fixed the problem right away, and even gave a discount on the price he had quoted over the phone.  Then he asked if there was anything else I needed help with while he was there, and gave advice without rushing off or charging extra.  What amazing customer service!  I am keeping his card and passing his name on to everyone I know who needs electrical work.

Altap saved me $4,000! I have pool equipment that was thought to be broken, but Altap's troubleshooting skills determined that it's not. It was simply not connected to any power. Out of 10 electrician that I contacted, only Altap came by to help little fish like me and on a weekend. Thanks Altap!

Bahram did a great job for me.  I called him in the AM, he was able to come by in the early afternoon and quickly solved our problem for our tenant.  The said tenant is in the construction business and said he was really impressed with Bahram.  And his rates were very reasonable as well.  He is the guy we plan to use for all of our electrical needs.

Bahram is very personable and responsive.  He shows up when he says he will.  He was able to come out the same day I called to fix an outlet/switch.  He worked quickly and thoroughly and also gave some good advice for other issues around the house. Excellent work quality.  Would hire again.

Bahram came when he said he would, made the electricity work in a quarter of my house again, charged me what he said he would, and left.  No drama.  What more could one want in an electrician?

My Review for Altap Electrical is long over due.  A few months back, these guys helped me upgrade eletrical panel with permit, rewire some outlets and implant major wire underground.  Bahram's crew is efficient, on time and responsible.  More importantly, their price is super reasonable!  I am recommending them to everyone I know.

Bahram was a lifesaver!  We found ourselves unable to turn on our heat, and he showed up at our door an hour after I called and was able to quickly and efficiently fix the problem.  I really appreciated him coming out the same day I called, since it was later in the evening.

We wanted to make some adjustments to light outlets in our home, and add some recess lights in our kitchen. We contacted couple electrical contractors we selected from yelp, based on review. Altap  stood out to be better in terms of pricing and flexible in terms of starting the work. We are happy with the final result, and we recommend them to others who are seeking electrical contractors . We wont hesitate to go with them in the future for any electrical work. They are outstanding.

Altap electrical provides great service.  I had a partial electrical failure in my house that couldn't be attributed to a bad fuse.  Bahram came out within an hour on a holiday.  He was very helpful, courteous, professional, and very reasonably priced.  My problem turned out not to be a quick fix, but he quoted me a reasonable price even though he probably spent over four and a half hours trying to find and fix the problem.  I highly recommend this company, and will be hiring them for any future work I might need.

Bahram responded to my slightly panicked phone call one evening after I returned home from a long hot day around 7 pm to find my refrigerator and microwave both down, the GFI apparently having failed.  He came right over from San José to Mountain View, quickly diagnosed the problem and replaced the unit, also disconnecting my fridge from the GFCI so that I wouldn't have this happen again.  He was prompt, courteous and efficient, and made some excellent suggestions about improving the lighting overall in the house.  I will definitely be using Bahram and Altap again: highly recommended.

We lost power in one part of our garage and Altap Electrical contacted us immediately on a Saturday.  They scheduled an appointment that same afternoon, showed up promptly and fixed the issue in half an hour.  Their response time and their extraordinary customer service is something we wish all businesses had.  We'll definitely call them again for all of our electrical needs.

We had multiple outlets giving problems, and the garage door was not functioning.  For a reasonable price, Altap took care of everything.  Quick and easy.
