Anderholm Electric

Jason and team are unbelievable!  I am replacing all of our appliances in the house and when the new range arrived we quickly noted that the old one was hard-wired and the range needed a 50amp plug added to it.  We have been without a stove and oven for a long time. While talking to Jason on the phone, Jason put me on hold, called one of his guys in the field and reconnected with me to let me know that while they were booked on prescheduled appointments, he talked to one of his guys, Dustin, who said he'd be willing to drive from a job he had in Corte Madera to my house in Sonoma after his job was done.  Dustin called me twice from his other job to let me know when he was going to be at my house, he even kept me up-to-date as he was driving over.

Dustin had a long day, that day, he got to my house around 6pm and left at 9pm.  We ran into some issues on the install but it was nothing Dustin couldn't handle.  Dustin is the nicest guy, very calm and extremely competent.  By the time he left, I was throwing a pizza in the new oven!  Thank you Jason and Dustin - you guys are definitely the best!

You have to pay for quality and service - And these guys ar expensive.  They respond quickly, know what they are doing, explain this as they go along, and are well worth there rates.  They have a one hour minimum but Jason gets a lot done in an hour.  I strongly recommend them to safely repair your problems.

I was really impressed with Anderholm Electric and would definitely recommend them. I originally found them through online reviews and called to see if they could install ceiling lights in three bedrooms. I was on a rather tight timeframe, but Jason was really easy to work with, showed up when he said he would, provided a transparent and fair estimate, and was able to finish the job quickly and efficiently. I also appreciated that he was very respectful of our home and made sure that he did not leave any trash or damage anything. Overall, Jason was kind, courteous, and very knowledgeable. If you are looking for an electrician, I would definitely recommend that you consider Anderholm Electric.

Gotta give Jason 5 stars for sure! We got stuck halfway through hanging a heavy chandelier in our stairwell, and had to leave it hanging on it's safely wire while we frantically called a bunch of companies at 5:00pm on a Friday. Jason's receptionist promptly responded to our emergency call, and saved the day. He came by early the next morning - on his weekend time - and went about figuring out how to approach it best, high in a stairwell with very difficult attachment points that we could've NEVER gotten ourselves (lesson learned...). He's a friendly guy with a great attitude, and even modified the switches so that it could be controlled from both the top and bottom of the stairwell, by linking it to the switch for a nearby sconce. His price was fair and we plan on having him back to set up a Wi-Fi controlled switch, linking new security lights on our detached garage to a switch installed inside the house.

The electricity went out in the front bedroom last night. We tried to reset the breakers, but no luck.  This is my son's room and he is medically disabled. Then we called you and you managed to send AJ out within the hour.  He did a great job.  Very efficient and tidy. The last time this happened another company told us the whole breaker box needed replacing. AJ found the outside outlet was engulfed in ants.   He didn't try and sell us anything.  
We are so pleased.  Thank you!

Had a problem with the wiring in my well pump house. Another company came first, and  tried to sell me on a huge project to re-do all the wiring on my well house and build protective boxes with wood, etc.  Doing that would of wasted tons of money, for starters, and wouldn't of even fixed the problem.

Anderholm sent a guy Dustin over--- experienced Journeyman electrician.  HE was very friendly and easy to work with, and professional.  He took his time to diagnosis the issue we were having and turns out hte other guys completely miscalled it.  It was the wiring going from main circuit box underground to the wellhouse, not the wellhouse wiring itself. He worked late into the night, knowing we had two kids here and no water.  Impressed how this guy gets things done in the dark, in the cold, with his headlamp! He did a great job, and I've put these guys in my file for referrals/future work.

We have wanted a generator installed since going through all the power outages - loosing power during the fires for days and loosing two refrigerators with food and now my daughter is starting home dialysis and it is vital to her life we have back up for her dialysis machine.

I contacted another company and they bid the job, but we wanted another bid and my husband found Anderholm Electric on Yelp and because of all the great reviews, we went with Anderholm - and we are so happy we did!

Jason is very knowledgeable about generators and electricity and noted that we definitely needed an update on our 38 year old electrical panel.  He explained exactly all that was needed and like so many others have written, he is very professional and explains all the work.

This ended up being a 2-1/2 day job and what impressed me the most was from the start of the job to the finish, how Jason and his crew took pride in the equipment, handling it with care and even making sure that we got power back up before the foreman, AJ quit for the day at 9:00 pm!  Even coming into the home making sure the panel was labeled correctly,  Jason (part of J.Anderholm's crew) and AJ wore paper booties to keep the carpet clean and picking up all garbage every day before leaving.

Jason Anderholm made sure the generator was up and running, contacting support and did a test run on it to make sure all was good before leaving, as well as giving us a contact for maintenance.  Above and beyond great customer service!  

We are very happy with Anderholm Electric and if we need any electrical work done in the future, we know who to call!

Jason does awesome work! I have had a few needs at my house in Rohnert Park. He always comes through for me. He's quick to respond, gives me a good deal, and does an excellent job on the work! Highly recommend!

Anderholm exceeded our expectations. Jason was able to quickly get two of his guys out to tie our new bathroom fan into our electric and install new smoke alarms. Jason gave us a reasonable price and was available and highly communicative. We definitely recommend Anderholm and will be using them in the future for all things electrical.

Thanks Jason for the great job and of delivering on what you said you would, 100%.  In an age where sometimes words are not always the truth, you differ,  and came through on your word. You made a run to Lowe's on your time, and we also appreciated that customer service .
Thanks also for checking on other issues we had and answering our questions. You are a breath of fresh air!

After reading the positive Yelp reviews, I contacted Anderholm Electric to install an EV charging station at our house.  Got a call back the same day (on a Saturday!) from Jason.  He was out to the house on Tuesday to survey the situation and provide a quote.  It was a complicated job needing some trenching, new breakers, and interior and exterior wiring.  Jason provided a reasonable quote and then had the crew out the next morning to do the job.  The project crew was punctual, professional, and efficient.  They got the whole job done same day and left the job site tidy and ready for use.  The EV charger worked exactly as planned and we are very happy with the results.  I would not hesitate to use Anderholm Electric again in the future.

Anderholm Electric was great!  took care of all my electrical needs around the house! Thank you!!

We bought a home last year that is still original to the 1950s, including the electrical. Knowing that we are going to be updating over time, we wanted to start with the electrical.  We are very happy that we found Jason and his team. We were extremely happy both with the quality of advice that we received from Jason in making recommendations for what we needed and how to proceed with the work as well as the quality of work and care of him and his entire team.  

We had them install a new main panel as well as a new sub panel in our detached garage. The work included digging a ditch in our back yard to run new lines from the main panel to the subpanel.  (They dug the grass in such a way that by the time they were done it looked nearly in disturbed and 4 weeks later, our lawn looks as good as before).  They also routed Ethernet from a separate part of the house to the garage seamlessly.  Everything was explained to us clearly and executed well. When they ran into a few snags (for example when PG and E first told us that there would be an unexpected fee), Jason let us know what was going on and worked through the issue (coming to a resolution that was what we wanted and without any extra fees and in a quicker timeline than originally thought!)

We were also extremely impressed with Dustin who managed most of the work at the property and stayed late to clean everything up and install our electric vehicle charger.

We already have more electrical projects in mind and will be contacting Jason again.

I appreciate that he made time to come when he was very busy. Thank goodness he found the problem quickly. 1/2 of my light went out. Turned out it was a loose wire in one of the outlets.

I'm normally not one to write reviews, mostly because I'm lazy.  However, every once and a while I come across something that motivates me into doing a review.  In this case it's Jason Anderholm, owner of Anderholm Electric.  Jason and his team recently completed a major electrical project at my newly purchased home and the entire experience from start to finish was absolutely fantastic!
Here's my story.  My wife and I recently sold our long time rural Sonoma County property. That property had a full home back up generator system complete with an automated transfer switch.  Living on rural property you are dependent on constant power for your well and septic, so an alternate power source is important.  The replacement property we purchased is also rural.   The previous owners had a DYI back up power source, however it was limited in its ability and was not automated.  We decided to install another system such as the one we had at our previous home.  I contacted 3 different electrical contractors; all advertising generator installs.  Jason called me back within an hour and we made an appointment for the next day.  
Jason arrived on time and together we looked at my current electrical system.  Being somewhat familiar with back up power systems I already had an idea of what I wanted.  What I wasn't aware of was the complexity of having solar panels as part of my electrical system.  The previous owners had solar installed however there was no battery storage as part of the system.  Another issue was the fact that the existing service panel was filled to capacity and a small sub panel had been installed to accommodate the addition of solar.  Jason explained his concerns with the current system configuration and trying to tie in the generator's transfer switch.  He recommended that a new 200-amp service panel be installed along with the generator and transfer switch.  Replacement of the service panel had also been recommended by the person who had done the home inspection.  I opted to have the new panel installed along with the generator and transfer switch.  
Jason and his crew arrived on time the first morning and immediately went to work mapping out the new system and re-routing all the existing circuits.  The crew ended up spending 5 days on this project.  One day they worked until 9pm so we wouldn't be without power over night.  Jason's crew was professional, they maintained a clean and organized job site, and were very easy to work with.  The project turned out to be a bit more then originally anticipated however Jason stuck with his original quote.  I am extremely happy with the work that Anderholm Electric did and will be using them again when it comes time to start my remodel.  Thanks Anderholm Electric!

I just wanted to fix an electrical problem and install a couple outlets. They were very friendly and helpful. They made an appointment right away. The electricians showed up right on time, understood  what I wanted right away and then got to work immediately. They had zero issues installing the outlets and for the faulty light pointed out that the ballast was going bad. Overall they were fast, professional, and knowledgeable. What more could I ask for? I haven't hired an electrician before so I don't know how the price compares but there were no surprises and I am happy with what they did. They even swapped out a faulty light switch at the last minute no problem. I wouldn't hesitate to give them a call if you need any electrical work done.

Anderholm electric was a great partner to work with on the installation of a Chargepoint Home Flex charging station.  They visited the site, provided a prompt and reasonable estimate and scheduled the work quickly.  I used another contractor (Sonoma Landworks) to dig the trench for this installation and Anderholm electric did everything else.  They were able to exceed my expectations with the installation -- AJ was particularly fantastic to work with.  I look forward to working Anderholm Electric in the future and highly recommend them especially for electric vehicle charging stations.

Needed a EV charger install. Who are you going to call? Anderholm of course! Called Sat. Got back to me on Mon. because they are closed weekends, installed Tuesday morning and cleaned up. Competitively priced and now looking for Anderholm to do the rest of my electrical work. Check out my new Juice Box in the pic.

Jason and his team are fantastic. I contracted with him to update my panel to 200amps and remove the existing stab loc breakers.

Jason gave me an upfront estimate with variables depending on what the permit process would allow.
The only reason that we had any delays was because of the recent fires and linemen having to cancel, which was because of the fires as well.

Their work was clean and detailed. He even took the time to caulk and rework some wood trim elements to match the existing exteriors. That really solidified my opinion of his attention to detail.

Jason takes pride in his work and is a genuinely fun guy to chat with. He was very patient with all my questions and explained all the choices and cable routes.

Overall I'd give him 6 stars if I could.

I called on Jason Anderholm Electric to help me with a ceiling fan that was not functioning in my office building, and he sent out 2 angels to help me, Matt & Alex! They arrived on time and quickly assessed that the interior of the ceiling fan was destroyed because the board that received the remote signal had failed and leaked all over things (something they had never seen before).

Since I'm a super busy professional and didn't have time to go shopping for a ceiling fan, they offered to go to Home Depot for me. They quickly returned with a great fan (I'm a design snob so I described wanting something modern, not fussy and they found the perfect one!) then installed it right away! I can't tell you how much stress it took off of me to just have these guys deal with the whole problem! They were awesome and Matt is a confident/take charge, problem-solver kind of guy who knows his trade well! Plus he reset a circuit breaker on our electrical panel that had been tripped for who-knows-how-long. Great guy!

We hired Jason and his guys to bring power to the front of our house to wire some new steps. They were (amazingly!!!) available to work the next day. Despite a few hiccups (it was raining, they hit & then repaired my water pipe) the job was done in 1/2 a day and looks damn good.

They'll be back to install the lights and I feel like I'd bring them in again for any electrical work.

Good job, gentlemen!

Easy recommendation! Our family moved into a new home about 8 months ago with mostly original electrical work from the '50s. We had ambitions to get an EV charger in the garage and set up an office out there which required quite a bit of work upgrading old panels, running new wiring to the garage, and installing a couple of outlets. Jason and Dustin were very communicative throughout the whole project and were able to accommodate additional requests halfway through. These guys are great problem solvers, fun to talk to, and we will lean on their expertise for future projects :)

Anderholm Electric is simply the best. I can't recommend them enough after the great work Jason and his team did on upgrading the patchwork electrical setup at our new home in Guerneville. He was transparent about the costs for the work to be done and honest about what we could keep as is - no unnecessary attempts at upselling.  Jason was incredibly communicative in real time and together we were able to make decisions that he could act upon while on site. He was even honest about an overpayment after going over his end-of-year accounting well after the work at our place was completed. Anderholm Electric is now our go-to for anything and everything electrical.

Great service! And really fast response. Was able to get an outlet for a car charger installed the same day. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a good, reliable electrician, stop looking now and call Jason.  My husband and I own a home that is a vacation rental in Bodega Bay and learned late on a holiday weekend that one of the circuits had tripped and the guests were unable to reset the circuit.  With guests due to arrive in a matter of hours, I frantically search Yelp for someone who might be able to come and would not overcharge us.  I am so thankful that we found Jason -- his 5 star reviews are ALL warranted.  Simply put, Jason saved us from disaster.  He was one of the few electricians that we called that actually called us back, and went above and beyond to help us out.

Jason not only responded promptly to my message (a call and text!), but arranged to go to the house later that day.  He was already on a different job site, but did an amazing job of updating me on his progress, letting me know when he was en route, and giving an upfront explanation of his fees/costs (which were VERY reasonable).  I appreciated the honesty, responsiveness, and competence.  Jason was able to figure out the issue and get it fixed very quickly (bad circuit breakers), even though we didn't know much about the circuits at issue (it's an old house).

Having a home in Bodega Bay, we personally know how difficult it is to find someone who is willing to travel to the coast, let alone repair something the same day.  It's even hard to find someone who is honest, who won't try to charge huge premiums or try to sell you fixes that aren't necessary (we've had both of those experiences before, so are very leery of repairmen in the area).  Jason is now a permanent fixture in our phones for electricity-related repairs.  I would use him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone looking for a good electrician for a big or small job.  He's the rare person who is nice, easy to work with, and very good at his trade.  If you run an Airbnb or rental, he is an invaluable resource -- my only worry about sharing my experience is it will be harder to book him in the future!

I have nothing but thanks for Mathew and Alec from Anderholm Electric. They came, fixed a difficult situation that contained surprises, after clear consultation. They did Great work and were a real pleasure to have at my home! Suzy in the office won me over on phone as I called from looking them up on Yelp. I now have an electrician I can count on!

Jason provided quick and great service. He was able to come out the same day, diagnose the issue, and order/install the needed items all within a couple hours! Amazing service... will call again for next project. thank you!

We purchased our new home near Spring Lake in 1974, most of it has been upgraded with the exception of our electrical system. Jason looked it over and essentially serviced our circuit breaker panel and advised us to stay with our existing system because of our unique inbound power source situation. Jason saved us thousands of dollars. I recommend him highly and will use Anderholm Electric for my electric needs.

We were finishing a half done job upgrading kitchen electric including circuits, lighting and the external supply and panels. Jason was able to easily understand the situation, provide complete materials list and costs and work through the job.

The finished product passed inspection with flying colors - not a single bad mark - as home owners we were very happy!

We will certainly be going back to Anderholm Electric for the next phase of the rewire of our old Bay Area home.

We hired Jason to upgrade our service and deal with several other issues on our 85 year old mountain house. From the first phone call, Jason provided guidance on the scope of the project - he combined deep experience in the industry with a desire to 'right-size' the job so that it wouldn't cost us a fortune.

The job site is very tricky, steep hillsides, bedrock close to the panel, a lot of legacy diy wiring. He found a logical solution for every issue; for example he even used a jackhammer on the bedrock to create enough clearance from the panel to pass an inspection. Throughout it all he kept us informed, explained his decision making process and was super transparent about pricing and timeframe.

All of the work was completed on time, on budget and passed inspection without drama. And although it's strange to say this about electrical work, it looks really fantastic: neat, symmetrical, proportional. His perfectionist streak even extended to font size on our panel labels.

We do a lot of work on our homes and I can honestly say Jason is the best tradesperson we've had work on our house! Highly recommend!

Can't say enough about how great my experience was with Jason having a backup generator installed. He was actually eager to work with me (seemed liked a chore to get anyone else on the phone), got me an estimate, and installed all within a super short period of time. He was really responsive when I had questions, and kept me updated on his progress. His crew was friendly/professional, and I'm really happy with the quality of the work. Now we have backup power!!!! Would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Ours was a rather small switch and outlet installation project.  Even though Jason specializes in larger projects he and his crew responded quickly, wer professionally and friendly.  More importantly they arrived on time, worked quickly did a fine job.

He stuck to his estimate but was willing to accommodate changes at a very reasonable cost.

I don't need an electrical often but I'll call Jason the next time i do.

Well, today is St. Patrick's day and I had the luck of the Irish to have found Jason and Grant.  I woke up this morning to find about 25% of my electric outlets and lights  out.  I called a few other local folk and got a bit of a run around.  Then I called Anderholm Electric.  Jason, who actually answers his own phone,  first tired to walk me through a few easier fixes, none of which worked.  He was finishing up a large job but assured me he would come see what was going on before he wrapped up for the day.  I was very impressed with his willingness to help a new customer at practically a moment's notice. He and Grant arrived a few hours later and within minutes had diagnosed the issue, moved a massive piece of furniture and set about fixing the offending wires which were causing the short.  Jason notice a few other electrical issues we hadn't even talked about and fixed those as well.  It was like having super heroes fly in, whip everything into shape and fly out again leaving everything way better than they found it. Their expertise, empathy and experience were deeply appreciated.

Prompt, reliable and easy to work with. They saved us with a last minute service call when our electric went out on the hottest day of the year. They had us up and running again within an hour and a half of calling. We called several other electricians first, and no one else was willing to even make a service call for days. I highly recommend Anderholm!

We've used these guys for several issues and they were all great. Jason, Matt, and their apprentice. I would highly recommend them for all things electric. Knowledgeable, friendly, and very quick to respond

I highly recommend Anderholm Electric! Jason expedited getting a generator and getting it installed for my parents. He always answered our phone calls, kept us updated and always showed up on time. He did great work and worked hard until it was installed. We can't thank you enough for giving my parents and us peace of mind. My parents are already making a list of other electrical things they need you to help them with so stay tuned!!!!
Thanks again!
Carl and Kathy (and of course Anne and Ellis)

Great communication. Quick and capable service. Everything about my (first and definitely not last) experience with Anderholm Electric was smooth and easy. Thank you!

I hired Jason to re-wire my panel for a generator and also had him install a 220V Level 2 electric car charger. Jason completed both projects on time and at a reasonable price.
Jason is fair, honest, and a real pleasure to work with. I'm stoked I found a local electrician that I can trust.

Jason came out and replaced and added some security lights at my house.  He provided a lot of information on another job I'm thinking of doing and sent me specs on different products for that job.  He was prompt, polite and efficient.  He also cleaned up the job site, which doesn't always happen with contractors.

Jason was very friendly, prompt and efficient. He went above and beyond
by checking our home to see what else could be done with our safety mind. We are keeping his number and saving it as our #1 go to guy for all our electrical needs!!!

Jason is a great guy to work with.   He's fast punctual and honest.   Right off, he tells you what he can and can't do and also what he needs to find out.  He is passionate to get you involved and be a part of your project.  I look forward to working with him again.

We sent out the Bat Signal for a whole home generator install before PG&E cut our power and Jason answered the call.   He's quick, efficient, well priced and entertaining :-)  Highly recommended!

I used Anderholm Electric for a service upgrade, and replacing/installing all new exterior lights and half of my interior lights.  The job was done as stated, no hidden costs and any permitting, PG&E etc was all handled by Jason and went smoothly - I hate dealing with those things!  Jason made sure all was left neat, cleaned up, trim around service put back and painted.  I hate to say it, but some just finish the job and leave, crap, dust, etc all over the place.  I will definitely have him back for my next electrical need.
