Reviews
Chris came by to replace our electrical switches and our smoke detector. We were helped by this company before for upgrading our electrical system in this old house about 5 years ago. Still good to see great service and the electrician, Chris, was really chill. 10/10

Timely, professional, courteous and precise.
They know their business.
Very pleased.
We had a big box store installation go wrong where a wire to the oven got pierced by a mounting screw. Divine Electric were able to dispatch someone out in a very short time. Jae came out, and was able to thoroughly assess what went wrong. Paul & Jeffrey came out, were super nice and efficient, and took care of the problem with no follow-up repairs or patching needed.
Total professionals and a real pleasure on a personal level. Just the kind of service contracting I want to have around. This # is staying right in my contacts, and will be recommending to friends. Big thumbs up!
I have a home built in1931 and experienced a short from the recent storms.
I couldn't figure out what was wrong. The electrical in my home is an amalgam of patchwork fixes. Many my doing.
Chris from Divine arrived on time and diagnosed the issue. He was very adept at explaining the situation and offered 3 options to fix it.
He was able to stay that day and complete the project. The work was done and finished beautifully.
The quality and service exceeded my expectations. I will not hesitate to use Divine, especially Chris, for all my future electrical needs. Thank you
Harris to the rescue again! Harris met our electrical needs and then some and he is such a great guy. We appreciated Jacob setting everything up so Harris could come out to do the work. In this case, Harris switched out a non GFI plug on the outside...this one works great and is of course much safer.
Thank you Divine!
Great Job! These folks are terrific to do business with; a locally owned, local company focused on Marin.
We needed some electrical outlets way on the far side of the yard deep in the plants - and Chris from Divine didn't disappoint! Showed up on time, ready to get it done.
It was way too complicated for me (as are most electric things) and this is a job well done.
*Highly Recommend!!
We have had a great experience with Divine. Most recently, Juan and Estalin came by to install a level 2 EV charger and re-install a chandelier. They were professional, communicative, and respectful. I'm not sure Divine is the cheapest alternative out there, however their staff are high-quality and get the job done with no drama.
I've worked with Divine several times now and everyone I've interacted with from taking initial calls to electricians and plumbers at the house have been friendly, reliable, and knowledgeable. Chris just came out and corrected some shoddy DIY work done by the previous owner and did a great job of helping me understand what was happening and why, and how he was going to fix it. Big thanks to Chris and the team!

Folks with Parkinson's know it can make you crabby, say things you wouldn't otherwise. Their scheduler, Kayla knows it first hand, as when she called to let me know they were enroute I responded in a way that was less than businesslike. She handled it cheerfully, gracefully. When I realized how I sounded and called back to apologize she was, Pshaw, it's ok, you're good. People who work with Kayla must love her.
I'd been living with a few things that were beyond my ability to fix, but when my bathroom outlets over the sink and my stove stopped working after a neighborhood power outage I called Divine Electric. In the past I'd experienced an auto repair shop trying to upsell my wife on a list of things they wanted to do. Divine never did that. Their technician, Jae, a first class electrician and a great guy, listened to me, investigated the problem and explained the fix. Quick and painless. Divine is a company that is honest and clear of purpose. I recommend them to anyone.
I made an appointment to have multiple different issues checked out including ringing lights and broken outdoor outlets. I was lucky enough to have Joseph come out and work on my place. He was awesome, working super quickly and efficiently to fix the issues. I'm now sitting in my living room without the obnoxious ringing issue. Couldn't ask for more. He worked through all the potential reasons that the ringing would've happened, ultimately explaining it to me simply. The dimmer switches were the problem.
As for the outdoor outlets, I'm happy to say Joseph replaced the problem pieces and I've got things up and running. I only wish I had Divine there to install these things in the first place.
We had a clogged toilet that I couldn't fix with the mechanical snake, so I decided to call Divine and some other local plumbers as well. I have no idea why divine and some of the other local companies think this is okay, but they won't divide any sort of pricing other than the $89 cost of the tech visit, at which time they will assess the situation in determine the appropriate work labor in any other associated costs. They wouldn't even tell me if there was a minimum amount of hours they would charge or what that would cost. This seems to be a common practice among a lot of local plumbers, and since I'm sure Divine will be reading this, I just want to say from the customers perspective, this is super shady.
I ended up going with a another local plumbing conpany because they actually told me what the minimum price of the job would be, and they agree that this opaque pricing structure that divine and others are taking is totally shady!
I've had to do some upgrades to my electrical and plumbing over the past few months, and I ended up hiring Divine for both.
Scheduling is easy, either online or phone, and they are super responsive and nice. They always show up on time, and the one time they were running late, they let me know. Their entire team is equipped with iPads that they use to track their projects, deliver quotes, take payments, and keep in sync with each other on what is going on: it just makes for a really seamless experience with them.
For each project, they came over, took the time to understand my project requirements and expectations, then would assemble a quote with a wide range of options from basic to luxe. I appreciated they would help me understand other ways of approaching the project I hadn't thought of.
Divine's prices are above average, but they are true professionals at their craft and are reliable, two things I value so I don't end up having to do the same project twice or wonder when a project will get completed. Not once did I get an unexpected item/change billed to me.
I worked with Divine for these projects:
* SPAN Panel and Drive installation for a Tesla, which included requiring all circuits from my old panel to new one.
* A few new circuit installations across the house.
* Replacing my home's failing main water shutoff valve with a new one, including a new pressure regulator.
* Replacing an existing toilet with a bidet-integrated one (this installation was not easy!)
Very responsive and professional to our need for a new water heater quickly. Installation went according to schedule and finished right when promised! We will call Divine again!
Chris helped me out today with an electrical issue that caused my dishwasher to go out. He solved the problem very quickly and pointed out a GFCI outlet hidden in my cabinet that I didn't even know I had. He was also careful not to switch off any areas of the house that needed power. Very friendly and informative, would definitely recommend working with him.
They were pleasant, finished ahead of schedule, and very thorough. Clear 5 stars - so nice to have our several small issues handled quickly and competently.
I've called on Divine to help with a few odds and ends over the last couple years and they've proven reliable each time. Most recently, Paul K refurbished our circuit panel. He was great at explaining what was causing some electrical flows that weren't supposed to be flowing (when circuits were switched off!) and explained what was done to fix it. He replaced all the old circuits with new code compliant ones that matched with our circuit panel manufacturer. He meticulously organized the wires within and cleaned up every wire end going into the circuits. I feel so much safer in my home after this.

We have been very happy with every interaction with Divine Electric. Most recently Paul Kelly repaired our hot tub (bad 220 breaker), quickly and efficiently. And he was a pleasure to work with. He was our hero for the day!
Divine exceeded my expectations. They installed a new water heater and water recirculating system in my home this week.
The estimator, Jeff, was a pleasure to work with.
The crew was friendly, professional and efficient. The owner checked in with me to assure that everything was done to my satisfaction. It was.

We are very happy with the work that Jay, Luis, Sean and Victor have done for us and I highly recommend them. My husband summed it up nicely: everyone is so polite and knowledgeable.
I first heard about Divine Electric from my neighbor who recommended them to me when I asked her about a recommendation for an electrician. When I looked at their Yelp page I also noticed that they offer plumbing services and since we were in need of a good plumber as well, I was hoping to kill two birds with one stone.
I already liked the appointment process: nowadays so many companies go the route of having everything digitalized but I enjoyed talking to an actual and friendly human to make an appointment. In fact, we scheduled two appointments: one for the electrical work and another one for the plumbing work. There's a $89 charge for the inspection, which gets waived if you actually hire them.
Jay was the electrician who came out to us for the inspection and we really came to trust him over his next few visits. His colleague, Luis, would later take over the bulk of the work on upgrading the electric panel. Luis was great as well. On the plumbing side I interacted with Sean and Victor, who helped us install two new faucets in our primary bedroom.
Thank you everyone at Divine Electric and Plumbing, despite a minor scheduling blib, you were a wonderful team to work with.

Terrific service and very professional. They were here on time and did a courteous and professional job
Exceeded expectations Detail oriented service and personnel of the highest caliber trustworthy
I wish I could give a 6th star.
Just dealt with Sam. He's a legend. Really fun and personable and was a complete straight shooter.
Really felt like he was trying to do right by me, and come up with the best solution. It's important because it would be easy to go to the most expensive solution and he didn't do that.
We're doing 2 projects now, and he'll be my first call when we do the next two.

We had some rewiring needs to resolve an issue and our experience with Divine was both smooth and assured. Our technician Paul explained everything and was extremely thorough and conscientious. Very happy to recommend this company. Will definitely use again.

Called and got a response right away and an appointment the next. Diego was so thorough, explained the procedures and process perfectly, cleaned up and was extremely pleasant and professional. Way to go divine!!!
Great communication through yelp and over text. Even though this was a minor job, everyone was very professional and great to deal with. The electrician, Joseph, was a pleasure to have in my home working on the improvements. He went above and beyond and even checked out my electrical panel to make sure it was in good working order. This is my third time using Divine and I would recommend them very highly.
My Son is already choosing which Electric company he wants to work for. And look he has his business card ready in hand to serve you.

We had Diego come out to do some electrical. He was not only a lovely person, but very capable to do what it took to figure out the problem. I would definitely have him back for any needs in the future.

I hired divine electric to install a chandelier in my daughter's room that was beyond my husbands electrical expertise lol and they did a wonderful job. While they were there I also requested a quote to fix our poorly installed under cabinet lighting and they were able to squeeze us in two days later. Our under cabinet lighting had never worked and it was posing a safety risk and Diego analyzed the issue and came back to finish the job. We are so happy with the final result! Diego is very knowledgeable and friendly so I would definitely request him if possible!! He was also right on time for the appointment which was appreciated! Thank you Diego and Divine Electric!!!
Divine did an outstanding job installing a Tesla charger in my garage, while also helping with a handful of other electrical issues in my home. Everyone on their team was extremely professional, respectful, and communicative throughout the process.
I made an initial phone call, texted some photos, and had someone at the house within a couple of days to assess the work. They were extremely thorough, explaining everything very plainly as they went along. A couple of days later, Harris and Romario came to the house, explained their process, answered questions, and got to work. They were very careful and courteous, and the work was done with excellent craftsmanship.
I'm very happy with the decision to work with Divine, and I'm sure I'll work with them again.
Plumbing: We had to go through a re-pipe of our house from old galvanized to copper... Sean and Victor were great, communicating the whole time and coming up with solutions on difficult aspects of the job instead of just doing what was easiest and cutting unnecessary drywall etc. furthermore instead of doing the bare minimum they came up with creative solutions to make the piping just more efficient throughout the house and solving a lot of the problems we had before. Recommend this crew!
Electrical: we had some outlets that weren't working in our master bathroom, the wiring was off and Paul Kelly troubleshooted it like a true professional going through every possible option and ultimately coming up with a creative solution, great job all around.
Divine recently did a lot of electrical work at our home and did an EXCELLENT job. All their employees were professional, friendly, and respectful of our home.
When we needed to have some plumbing work done, we knew we could trust Divine. Alex was great to work with. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, going out of his way to explain how things work as well as the options to remedy the issues we were having.
I highly recommend both their Electric and Plumbing services.
We've always had a good expierence with Divine, for plumbing and electric, and now we've had to work with them from afar. We're renting out our house while living down south and needed some work done for our tenants. From the initial call to set up the appointment to coordinating and working with Chris going over repairs by phone, the whole experience has been a breeze.
We appreciate it!
On time, responsive, and clear explanations of the scope of work to be done to replace an old and failing water heater.
I contacted Divine Electric to help install wired smoke and carbon monoxide alarms after ongoing problems. Comcast (alarm monitoring service) recommended I contact an electrician to install new smoke alarms (wired and backup batteries). Luckily, I contacted Divine Electric and Plumbing (always so polite and responsive).
Divine quickly made an electrician available-- Jae Joo-- to service my place. After reviewing the current smoke alarms, I also asked him to review other ongoing issues (lights flickering, outlets not working correctly, old electrical outlets/switches causing problems, and poor work done by others in the past), Jae made suggestions on installing/upgrading smoke alarms and other electrical issues. He also gave various options with several price levels (and possibly sequencing the project(s) if I chose to proceed with upgrades). I also requested if he could upgrade overhead lighting fixtures throughout the house (making them consistent and aesthetically much nicer). In response to my requested repairs and upgrades, Jae offered very fair prices on various projects. Without feeling pressured, I chose to proceed with the suggested projects. Jae completed the repairs and upgrades quickly and efficiently (11/2 days) at a very fair price.
In sum, Jae Joo of Divine Electric completed the project (repairs and upgrades) quickly, effectively, and efficiently while leaving the house spotless upon completion. I am so glad I found Divine Electric and its electrician, Jae Joo, should I have any electrical issues or upgrades needed in the future. Thank you, Divine and Jae.
Y'all Divine Electric is superb. They were super easy to connect with, kept us in communication for arrival times and the set up to the appointment was a wonderful experience. Our electrician Paul Kelly was awesome. He walked through our house, listened to us and gave thoughtful recommendations for the issues with our antiquated track lighting and outdated switches.
The best part was he walked us through all of the recommended changes and gave us an in depth explanation of each choice. He is kind and patient and made sure the job was thoroughly done. He shared his business card and told us to connect with any questions directly through his email. He was so considerate! Couldn't recommend Paul or Divine more!

Soup to nuts, this is a no brainer of an ethical, professional, friendly, well run business. The initial call for a site visit and quote was friendly and quick to schedule, scheduling was only about a week out (and wait times have been crazy in every industry as of late, same with staffing!). The site visit was AWESOME from a smart, intelligent, friendly guy who even delivered some spendy news in a polite manner... but I had to get the EV charging station squared away no matter what!
Day of, the crew of Harris, Carlos, and Sebastian arrived *RIGHT* on time, and they didn't even make fun of how sleepy I looked. They took two days, were methodical, safe, organized, and the finished job and product is just amazingly well installed, and now I can charge my new car. The crew was efficient, friendly, and definitely knew what they were doing.
It's so rare to have complete peace of mind when spending money for a project. I'm fairly sure I've found my forever electricians, and wouldn't hesitate to hire them for another project. The estimates were all straight-forward, honest, ethical, above board, and fair.
Divine rocks. Well done and I'm sure I'll have another project for you guys soon enough! Bravo.
Everything about Divine Electric and Plumbing is top notch and I highly recommend you use them for future projects! They are respectable, honorable and do immaculate work!
Jeff from Divine plumbing came by this morning and fitted an earthquake gas shutoff valve. He was fast and efficient. He explained it's operation and how to reset both the valve and the hot water tank in case of an event. He also checked our water pressure while he was here and offered to check over the rest of the plumbing in the house if we wished.
Very friendly and professional service. Highly recommended.
From start to finish our experience with Divine was outstanding. They came out immediately to investigate smell of burning plastic- diagnosed the problem, gave us options and were honest, open and transparent throughout the entire process. They came out to do the job within the same week and were extremely professional and did excellent work. Thank you Paul, Juan and Luis! You made an otherwise stressful situation a breeze to resolve. We will use Divine for all our electrical needs in the future. Recommend them in the strongest possible terms.
Chris came out to give me an estimate. He carefully walked me through all my options and adjusted them according to my budget for the project. Alvaro performed the work. He was prompt, professional and finished the project as expected. Positive experience all around
Paul Kelly was our service technician today and gave us excellent service. Explained everything clearly, fixed two items that weren't working and did troubleshooting for some other issues. Highly recommended!

Chris and Kevin just came to upgrade our electrical panel and to help label our panels. They are professional and courteous. They show up on time and they go above and beyond. Chris just saved us $600 by calling our HVAC company and confirming that they have the materials for the disconnect in our backyard (vs. Divine Electric ordering extra parts and doing the work). Divine Electric always does a good job.
3 years ago I needed some electrical work for our sump pump and outdoor outlets. Our landscaper had a question and Divine Electric answered the phone immediately and were available to come out in person and walk him through what they had done. It saves a lot of stress, time, and money to work with professionals who do what they say they are going to do and go the extra mile.
Paul was fast, friendly, and efficient. Fixed our outlets in no time! Would highly recommend Divine Electric!
Divine's Chris Ramirez recently replaced a defective undercabinet kitchen light with a new LED unit. The advance Divine coordination was clear, and Chris was very thorough and professional, explaining options to fix the immediate issue, as well as advising of long-term additional lighting and electrical panel needs and options.
Chris was awesome! He really took time to figure out how to tackle our strange electrical problem. He gave us several options and we picked the one that worked best for us. Thanks Chris for helping us and being so nice. We couldn't be happier.
Nestor, Sebastian, and Carlos had a long list of tasks to work through getting our house in Fairfax up to snuff. They installed some beautiful recessed lights and a number of modern outlets and rocker/dimmer switches. They seemed like genuinely nice guys and collaborated effectively with each other to work around some challenges presented by a quirky 1924 house. When one thing didn't work out perfectly they comped something else, which was very much appreciated. Bonus points for playing some Fugazi while working.
P.S. Rob, who scoped out the work in advance, and Jake, who also helped coordinate the project, were extremely professional and easy to communicate with, even when we amended the original work order with some last minute items.
Happy to have found a quality outfit I can keep returning to for any future electric work.

When you use this company, make sure to ask for Paul Kelly. He's a skilled electrician with a wonderful nature. He explained things in a way I could understand, I know nothing about electricity, and he fixed things well in a decent amount of time. He was also very kind to my dogs, would have to be underfoot!
We were given an estimate to bring our electricity setup into the 21st century (not even kidding, we have twist-in instead of flip boxes!) and we will be asking for this gentleman to do the work.
If you happen to read this, Paul, thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to make a piece child-safe for my middle schoolers to take apart when school starts next month.

A few weeks ago, I found my water heater was spraying out water and flooding my garage. Divine immediately sent Jeff out to help me. He explained all of the different options and gave me estimates for each. They installed my new tankless water heater within a couple of days. Today, Jeff fixed a different plumbing issue for me and installed a back-up battery for the tankless water heater. Luis was also out today to fix some electrical issues. Both of them were extremely professional, efficient, and effectively explained the issues. Divine also has excellent communication. Both of them texted me when they were on their way and gave me an expected time of arrrival. I highly recommend them!
We had several leaking faucets in our house.
After using another plumbing service for a rather big issue earlier in the year, we were left feeling disappointed and frustrated. We found Divine Plumbing and after reading so many of the great reviews, we decided to give them a try.
Alex came to our home to work on our issues. Not only was he extremely punctual, he is excellent at his craft. Super thorough and professional, but also, just a nice guy. Based on our experience with Alex alone, we will be using Divine for our future plumbing needs.
Ok, so here is the scoop-you really should hire Divine.
The work is outstanding, but where they really shine is the service. We have Jae J. and Paul C. working at our house right now, and they are helpful, punctual, and reachable-always. They aren't the only ones, the office staff is great too, and they go above and beyond to make sure that their customers are satisfied.
On the plumbing side we have Joe and Alex-who did a superb job of installing our toilets with bidets, washer and dryer hookup, and installing fixtures.
You might pay a premium to work with Divine, thats true. But you won't lose a wink of sleep over whether your job is being done right-and when it comes to home improvements, that is worth every penny.

Excellent service and results! New home owner that needed to have some electrical outlets replaced and they were able to get someone to come out and fix it within the week. Their technician Chris came out and was very friendly and did an excellent job of fixing the issue as well as being very informative about the cause and how to avoid it. If I need any more work done in the future I will definitely be requesting him to come and resolve the issue.
Let me start by saying that Divine's plumbers did great work at my house. The one star is for dishonest pricing.
When a Divine plumber shows up at your house, they've been instructed to try to sell you additional services beyond what you have requested. For example, I was told my tankless water heater needed to be flushed every year (it doesn't -- every other year is sufficient, according to the manufacturer).
I trusted Divine to be telling me what I needed, so I scheduled the service. The day of, just before the plumber arrived, I received an emailed invoice for $516. That seemed like a lot to me, so I replied to the email and then called when I didn't get a response. I asked why the cost was so high, and I was told that the plumber would be using an OEM flush kit that costs $300. I didn't begrudge these guys making a couple hundred bucks above their cost, so we went ahead with the service.
After the plumber left, I learned that he had used a non-OEM kit that retails for $150 (and possibly voids your warranty). I emailed Divine to see if they were willing to refund the $150 difference between what they told me their costs were and what they actually were. Divine's representative told me 1) there's no such thing as an OEM flush kit (there is, and it retails for $190, not $300 tanklessparts.com/produc…) and 2) he never said their costs were $300 -- he said $200 (he didn't). When I asked why he would say their costs were $200 if they were actually $150, he said the $50 difference is their markup. He refused to refund any of the $516 they charged me.
I have to say, I'm astonished that an established business would lie repeatedly in order to take an extra $150 out of the pocket of a customer who was otherwise satisfied with the work. They could have had me as a loyal customer. Instead they have a one-star Yelp review and I'm taking my business elsewhere.

Just had Devine Electric to the house for a problem with the dedicated outlet for our washing machine. Their technician, Paul Kelly arrived early, and diagnosed and fix the problem right away. Super thorough and safety. Always a priority. Saved us from having to deal with GE to repair our washer. Love this company, used them a few times for things around the house in the last three years. Always the best experience. Great communication from headquarters. Devine is the best electrical company in the Northbay without a doubt. Thanks Paul & Devine!

Chris R. with Divine Electric called ahead of time to announce his impending arrival, 3 hours earlier than the scheduled appointment to repair the circuit not supplying our oven. He tested two General shedders that prevent ovens from initially being included when our generator kicks in. Only one was not sending current to our oven, but when testing the other one for the tenant's oven he discovered it was faulty as well. He ordered the new parts and got both ovens back online with a work-around-solution before he left.
I'm more technical and able to understand much more than the average homeowner, and Chris was patient, understanding, and not the least bit defensive or arrogant about my telling him what I thought was wrong, but totally out of my ability to correct it myself. He also solved a problem I was having with my junior accessory dwelling unit that added another two 20 amp circuits to add to the one 20 amp circuit that my tenant was overloading by repurposing a 240 volt line for a sauna that was disconnected years ago.
Chris R is extremely professional, friendly and has lots of integrity to do a great jog. Divine Electric replaced my 1950 circuit breakers, installed a 22kwatt generator that automatically turns on with electrical outages, the natural gas pipeline to the generator and a Zombie Box to keep it quiet.
My neighbors on 4 sides plug in when there's a blackout. Who wants to hear even a quiet generator when you can't enjoy the benefit of it!
I've sent my friends to Divine Electric for a generator, and they've all reported great and professional service.
Thank you again, Chris R. and Divine Electric!!!

WIRED IN SMOKE ALARMS
Just before we left for a summer holiday we had 2 of our smoke alarms going off- chirping every 30 seconds. So annoying, looking for the pamphlet from the remodel folder from 11 years ago, googling. Eventually we had to separate it from the ceiling. Then we had another two chirping we had to remove those as well. (I have the 10 year-wired in Kidde-smoke alarms with the lithium battery) And yet again we had one more chirping and we removed that one as well we thought all the other ones would not go off since these five seem to somehow be interconnected but we were wrong. Later in the morning after going to bed, around 2:30 AM our daughters let us know that three more units were chirping! (Yes, they are all interconnected!-activated at the same time, same die date)
We learned that night the chirping is the end of life chirp-battery is dying, unit-is dying, Done-zo! Must replace the units.
We were about to leave on a trip so we thought it was all squared away. That morning before we left we heard one last chirping in the basement going on and it made us realize of a location where we hadn't thought of the smoke alarm being but there's no way our cat sitter or cat would've tolerated that for the time we were going to be gone for, it is SO perfectly annoying. Luckily we removed them all before the trip.
We had disconnected all of the units from the ceiling, stabbed the battery hole to send it to final death and I had called the company to find out what the replacement would be. They don't make my square ones any longer. So I decided to deal with it when I got back to decide. When I ended up getting replacements and my local hardware store told me I could do the replacements myself I thought really? because it's dealing with electrical wires I really didn't want to take that on. I called Darren Divine Electric because I know I trust him and his company. He always has really competent people and I'm tired of the over charging questionable people I have hired to keep them in business and cheaper people to make it affordable but in the end you just really want someone reliable and dedicated like Divine Electric. He sent a very nice Irishman named Paul Kelly to our house and he saw that I already had all the parts and was ready to go and he convinced me I was right to have an electrician do it and I feel better about it as well. Even though I am the handy woman of the house, this was that thing that
1) I don't want to get it wrong
2) I don't want to risk getting electrocuted
What a nice guy, so friendly, respectful about distance, wearing booties and a mask and walking through the house and scope of work. He then informed me of certain laws about smoke and Carbon units etc.and I learned a lot. I cannot express enough how invaluable a company you trust working on your home is. We talked a little about other things i was wondering about and he was able to explain and address future issues i might do with my lighting.
Anyways, a friendly, reliable & smart electrician swapped out all my old frames, units and tested the wires etc before just replacing. Fire season is here and my units lasted 11 years but if you are wired in-like me-you might want to call them out to update your hard wired units when the 10 year mark comes- cause the dying of the units was a terrible 24 hour experience AND we were almost on vacation, just cant imagine how that would have been remedied from afar! I am now set till 2031.
PS they are building out a plumbing section to their reliable good name, good move!

My first time working with Divine Electric and I'll say I'm very happy with the results!
I had 2days reserved for my appointment to install:
16 recessed lights
A three way light switch for the recessed lights
An additional light switch for another area
1 chandelier
A new dimmer light switch for said chandelier
Converting a outlet that was controlled by a light switch to a normal outlet (and this one had loads of surprises after being worked on!)
2 flush mount light fixtures
1 timer switch
Being a first timer to install lighting I was not ready on the start date as I thought I was. I ended up wasting a lot of Jamie and Carlos's time, to figure out the configuration on the ceiling to where the recessed lights would go. They were very patient and helpful with their advice, but lost time was lost time. They came back with Bryan and Ryan the next day and the 4 guys finished all the work with time to spare at the end of the day. Not to mention some of the jobs that were originally supposed to be easy ended up being a can of worms bc the previous owner seemed to be an electric DIYer. But they followed protocol and safety measures and finished everything! I couldn't be happier with the results, and now I have a beautiful living/dining space! Thanks guys!
I'm going to make another appointment to install more lights/ electrical work for the rest of the house when I'm done planning :)
Paul and Jeffrey came to our house today to install an EV Charger. They were super easy to work with and incredibly nice. Arrived on time and finished early. Couldn't have asked for an easier process. Thanks!

We called Divine Electric to help with an electric dryer install. They sent Jae and he did a great job! He was very informative, explained the various install options, and gave us an idea of what electric work we might need down the road. The job got done right and in a timely manner. Would definitely work with Jae again and would recommend Divine Electric.

We noticed a soft spot/ bubble in the ceiling of our condo last week. We scheduled out a few days than we had hoped, but it was worth the wait!
Jeff kept us in the loop about what time he would arrive. He was friendly, knowledgeable and personable. He wore shoe covers while inspecting our issue. He was able to locate the possible source of the leak and did a fantastic job explaining the next steps. On top of addressing the leak, he did a thorough inspection of all other plumbing equipment/ hardware. He gave us recommendations, which we are going to take him up on some.
Jeff also gave us several quotes and options. He was professional and didn't push any services on us. We feel like we are in good hands with Divine Electric and Plumbing and are lookin forward to getting the work done soon.

We thank you for the excellent service provided by Kayla in scheduling our urgent request for same day service, given half the circuitry in our house had gone down. Your electrician Jacob Autry was thorough, efficient and professional in testing and restoring function. His recommendations as to updating our electrical installations were clearly explained and noted. We are taking his recommendations into consideration. You have a very personable and competent team at Divine. Our first call for electrical repair in 13 years could not have been handled better. Thank you again. Highly recommend Divine Electric!
From start to finish Divine Electric was a pleasure to work with. They were quick to respond to an emergency situation and sent a great electrician to fix the problem. Paul, immediately identified the problem, explained it comprehensively, worked quickly and was very friendly. I highly recommend them.
Sebastian and Nestor came for a handful of projects that took two days. They both did a great job.
My husband and I are both architects and are very picky. We had indoor and outdoor sconces installed and Sebastian made sure to triple check all the heights with us.
We were also working from home the entire time, so Sebastian was considerate of our meetings and made sure to schedule noise around our schedule. Nestor also patched a hole in our ceiling for a lighting fixture wiring we moving. It was a huge relief not to have to patch it ourselves.
Thank you Sebastian and Nestor!
Paul with Divine Electric helped solve some electrical issues in our home very quickly and professionally. He quickly identified the problem. Then presented several options to consider. He was tremendously respectful of our home (also very friendly with our dogs!). I would absolutely recommend Devine Electric and Paul.
The Divine crew was excellent. They installed and then had to repair my generator. On both visits they did an excellent job. Will absolutely work with them again for any of my electrical and plumbing projects.

Divine Electric did a terrific job in rewiring much of our home. They were with us for five days during which time they were courteous and friendly. Their work was outstanding. Ryan - the team leader - does an excellent job. He was thorough, kept us informed, and did his best to keep our inconvenience to a minimum. We were very impressed that before they left at the end of the job, every electrical outlet, switch and appliance was checked to be sure that everything was working.

This is a special company. Not just in that they're good at what they do, but good overall in terms of customer care and service compared to all companies. Sami and Diego collaborated to help find creative solutions to our projects and any hiccups they jumped on solving. I'm grateful for them.
Can't say enough glowing things about the thorough, efficient and extremely courteous service from Divine Electric. They were recommended by a technician from John Owens (also great) who thought I could use a more complete evaluation than what he could do. Diego came to diagnose on Friday, and Felix had finished everything on the list by 12:30 on Monday (he arrived promptly at 8am). It gives me such peace of mind to now have them as my go-to electricians!
We had four or five small electrical projects and Carlos from Divine electric took care of them promptly and professionally. Pricing was reasonable, but I highly appreciated the level of service. We will call again with any electrical concerns.

From start to finish, initial call to job completion, all went seemlessly.
At I nitial consultation I was offered a few options but went with the WallBox to PowerShare with my husbands Tesla charging.
Harris showed up promptly and went right to install. Since we already had the Tesla charger the installation time was relatively short. Harris walked me through the WallBox charger and showed me how to charge my car.
I highly recommend Divine Electric!!

Simply great! Not just on time (early)! Victor simply made everything work.
Polite, courteous, and smiling (even in the rare Summer rain). I understand
employees go thru training (people and electric). It's such a great feeling to have intelligent and knowledgeable people working on my 1906 house.
The team - Victor, Carlos and Juan worked well together. Even my shy
cats were ok. Thanks for having a professional polite staff.
Our dishwasher and wine fridge both stopped working, so we had Divine Electric come out. It turns out it was just the fuse (doh!) but Joe Alvarez proceeded to spend some time doing an inspection and test of our electric panels and educated me as well. They were great and we'd definitely use them again. Thanks!
This review is for the team of Chris, Carlos, and Sebastian. They put in a new outside electrical panel and they needed access to my entire home and yard to complete the project.
Each of them were nice and respectful of my home, my garden, and my family. I appreciate when contractors can appreciate their job as well as the customer's home and boundaries. They also cleaned up after themselves and there was no evidence of them being here.
We had them install an EV charger in our garage this week. Felix and his assistant were punctual, neat, knowledgeable, and efficient. I would not hesitate to contract with them for future electrical projects.
Our service with Divine Electric and Plumbing was excellent, from estimate to completion. They provided options, explained them carefully, and followed through promptly with completing the work. They are pleasant to work with, thorough, and careful. I highly recommend. We worked with several folks from Divine to get the plumbing and electrical estimates as wells the work needed, and each was wonderful and thorough. Thanks!

Ryan and Brian are very competent and did a fantastic job. We've used Divine Electric for several years now and wouldn't consider using anyone else.
I've been in touch with Divine Electric starting from my home buying process and they have been very helpful, transparent and professional throughout the whole Quote through Installation process. They have knowledgeable, friendly and punctual staff. Communication with everyone on their team was top notch.
Divine installed my EV charging unit, and I will definitely be asking for them again for any electric work (I'm considering getting a generator/solar panel).
Shout out to Kayla, Jake, Sam Joseph & Raul! It was a pleasure working with all of you. Thanks for being accommodating and making everything easy for me!
Divine does not service condos and could not tell me why. Isn't a toilet a toilet? They also would not answer my question because my question was about a condo-toilet. They did refer me to Amesos Plumbing (415 457 6363) and Richard at Amesos was great, super helpful, and friendly. I'll be going with Amesos!
Price Gouge
$475/hour and one hour of labor to drill out two screws in a drain cover Another $400 to snake drain $475/hour equates to $950,000 per year of labor
Pricing would not be provided prior to visit for hourly rate or for snaking of drain (even with understanding that technician might identify that something else is needed) During visit technician noted pricing is based on a set of fixed standards including snaking
Should not have been charged the $89 visit fee as I would have never have scheduled if I would have known these ridiculously high prices before hand
Had next day service from competitor complete the $875 quoted job for $260
Felix and Juan were on time and extremely helpful to get the job done. I had a great experience with them and they were very thoughtful in keeping me updated on the project. Would definitely recommend again!
I called Divine Electric to repair a few broken electrical things in the house. I appreciated how efficient they are with texting and email to communicate and confirm the appointment. Joe A. showed up on time, was thorough, explained everything clearly, and was super nice. He fixed everything we needed during the visit. I will use Divine again, and I plan on scheduling an appt with their plumbing dept next!

Every interaction I had with Divine Electric was 100% wonderful.
Elizabeth was my first point of contact and she helped to secure an appointment very quickly. What a pleasant and efficient person.
Paul Kelly was the electrician assigned to come to our home and help us diagnose a non-functioning bathroom exhaust fan.
Paul worked, quickly, efficiently, professionally and every bit a gentleman!
I wouldn't hesitate for a nanosecond to work with him again.
We had a weird situation...bought a new fridge but the delivery guy wouldn't install it (despite us paying extra for it) because your water pipe is so old my company won't let us even touch it. Left the new and old one. I call Divine because their electrical work is off the chain like a mountain bike accident (that means good). The plumbers came and instantly called out the absurdity of the installer. Pipe was fine.
To not charge us extra than the inspection fee, he told me how to do it, which was CRAZY easy. I think the last guy was super lazy or in a rush and didn't want to take our old fridge. He's getting a call from me right now.
Divine was professional and helpful start to finish, and came out the same day I called! Nice addition to the electrical offerings, which are

I needed my main and sub panel replaced and a couple other electrical jobs done. The Divine team was excellent from start to finish. They did a thorough job bidding the work and helped guide me to the best solution. Then they laid out a clear plan and project timeline and followed up regularly with updates before the project even started. Then when it came time to do the work, Alejandro & Abraham crushed it and did an excellent job installing my new main and sub panel along with a few electrical outlets. I highly recommend Divine for their electrical work and I will be using them again in the future.

They did extensive work for us the other day, mainly setting up grounding wires and rods for our electrical panels. But after doing some rewiring of the outside lights to make them more convenient to switch on and off, there were a couple of glitches over there a couple of days. Some of the outside lights had evidently fallen off the circuit. So Divine quickly dispatched other electricians to troubleshoot and fix the problem. And after two more visits, all our issues were resolved.
We switched to Divine from an electrician who was perfectly nice but missed some pretty severe issues with our ancient panel. Jacob was SUPER thorough upon his first visit and even ended up fixing something for us on the spot to make us safer in our new (very old) home. They were able to fit us into their schedule really fast, and communication was always really easy and prompt. The crew was nimble, efficient, and really thoughtful with our house, giving us ideas to improve things we hadn't even considered, and were able to bake some things into the overall cost. They ended up being able to replace almost ALL of the old knob and tube, because they discovered the access was really easy, given our attic and crawl space. They only had to put a couple of holes in the wall for the entire thing, and I had expected MUCH more. Really great problem-solving from Luke and Alti, and their positive attitudes were so appreciated. The solutions they came up with allowed them to connect our new induction range, and we were under the impression it was going to be MONTHS for that- until PGE gets around to connecting our upgraded panel. They were super tidy and left their workspaces in great condition every night. These folks actually care about your home, and are super respectful. We worked from home while they were here, and while our home isn't big, they were able to work around us with ease. They also finished the project on time! Well actually, the guys stayed a little late on the last day, just to install some under-counter lights for us that weren't even in the initial bid. Just great people all around. Huge value. This was the most expensive thing we've done for the house and it was a HUGE decision for us, and it was 100% worth it. Can't recommend enough.
Had a malfunctioning light switch that needed replacement. Chris was was on time, courteous and efficient.
My wife wanted a quote for replacing an aging electric panel.
Their quote was 2-3 times higher than the competition.
They also tried the we need to sit together and discuss the old panel is a security issue pressure tactic to get you to sign on the spot.
Unrelated, my wife wanted to hang a ceiling lamp, there was a fan with lamp, they had to replace it with a lamp. Maybe 1 hour work.
They charged her $1200.
The guy was singing, chit-chatting, taking his time, basically dragging it out.
If you are rolling with cash, call them. The work gets done but it is your money. I probably won't be calling them again.

Worked with these folks for years and spent over $40k combined on upgrading our main panel along with several other projects and were always very happy until this last job... we were trying to install a home backup generator but couldn't find a place that fit the city requirements so they recommended a portable unit with fewer restrictions. The install survey for estimate failed to see trenching was requires so we have grey conduit running around the ground through holes in posts now and i have to pay separately later to fix that. The unit is much louder than described, we're afraid when we have to use it neighbors will complain. The operation involves a valve, switch, starter, breaker on the unit followed by breaker switches on the house and maintenance which wasn't mentioned involves staring the unit twice / month, checking oil and other stuff. We had a non portable one prior and it did all the above for you including regular starting. Had i known this was this much work...
Probably our 5th or 6th job with Divine over at least 10 years and two houses. I've always experienced smart estimates, clear planning and extremely competent execution. This time around we added a bath fan/light to prevent mold and mildew as well as updating 30 plus fixtures to LED lighting inside and out and adding a motion light outside. Luis and Alvaro now join my list of great employees from this company, who kindly explain stuff to me, and come up with smart solutions to all the fun problems that arise when you start fixing things. Jake also gets major points from me for patiently wrangling an unpredictable supply chain, and quickly rescheduling our job when one of us got covid. Thanks Divine!
Super responsive: called Tuesday, got a quote Wednesday, worked into the schedule for Thursday for electrical work. Personable and knowledgeable project manager and electricians: shout out to Sami, Harris and Chris. They asked tons of good questions and ensured safety, ie any pets or kids to worry about, concerns with noise and neighbors, ok to move our van in front of the house, etc. And they found a solution for our quirky Eichler, not small feet. Thank you!
After some false starts Divine Electric send a technician to provide a bid for our electric project - new electric car charging station. Rob proved to be knowledgeable, punctual and courteous. The information he provided was helpful and easy to understand.
Unfortunately his bad came out higher than other providers so at the end we decided to hire someone else.
Divine installed my car charger--every step was explained, price was comparable if not better than competitors, calls were answered immediately, and scheduling was quick. When I had an issue with settings, Carlos came out same day and took the time not just to fix everything, but also to explain it all to me. All the guys are friendly, polite and competent. I'm going back to them for any electrician or plumbing needs in the future.
5 stars for Divine Electric and certified tech Jae! We needed an EV charger installed on short notice. Jae arrived promptly, assessed the job and gave a detailed proposal, including permits. He followed up with an outstanding job at a challenging work site. He was a pleasure to work with, professional, polite, considerate and efficient, and the job was priced competitively.
We will continue with Devine Electric and also have our home's electrical panel upgraded.
Dr. Alex C. Terra Linda
I worked with Alex at Divine plumbing for quick fixes including snaking some tricky bathroom sinks, but he also spent time with me to talk through options on a range of projects ranging from new toilet installations to running a new water line for an ice maker.
Divine has their act together on the digital front, sending pricing proposals via email and being super responsive to emails. In addition, you don't get a hard sell and they spend time to talk through this pros and cons of each package. I'd highly recommend.
This review is for the plumbing side of Divine Electric and Plumbing. We have used Darin and his amazing team of electricians several times but this was the 1st time using his plumbers...and THANK YOU again for top notch service.
It started with Jeff who arrived a few minutes early for the initial appointment. He diagnosed the problem almost immediately and gave us a few options for repair. Jeff worked with our schedules and confirmed the repair appointment at that time. (We really appreciated this because waiting for a call back is like watching paint dry).
Repair day arrived and Victor and Joe arrived on time, maybe even a couple minutes early. They both got right to work. They were efficient, clean, personable and very happy to answer our questions. Neither Victor nor Joe seemed bothered by our interruptions. Just as important to us, was that when we stopped to watch the progress, they were happy to show us what was happening and why.
Sort of near the end of the day and one problem was throwing a wrench in things. Victor was fantastic, as was Joe at sticking with it and clearing the water line. Jeff also came back to check on the progress and answer any questions we might have had.
So, thank you again to Jeff, Joe and Victor! Thank you Darin Divine for your outstanding company!
I've used these guys a few times now, and they're the most reliable electrician who will actually come out and perform service reliably, answer the phone, and just have their act together. Paul did a great job for us.

As always the Divine Electric and Plumbing team are great to work with. We purchased an all electric car and the Project manager Rob. Come to the house did a full review of our current set up and provided best options and cost for work. Alejandro and Abraham arrived on time and worked quickly and professionally to do the installation we were able to start utilizing our new wall box that evening

Alex came to give us an estimate on several plumbing issues at our home. He fixed our guest toilet quickly and on the spot and then we scheduled him to come and install a recirculating pump on our water heater. Every visit Alex was courteous, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what he was doing in great detail which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!

From start to finish we had a professional and high quality experience with Divine. Rob the project manager was extremely thoughtful and thorough during the scoping process. Then Sebastian and his team were total professionals and skilled when they came to do the work. Highly recommend.
I have always had great experiences with Divine Electric and cannot recommend them more highly. Jacob in particular is a magical electrical magician. He has helped me and my house through several puzzles and he has been great to work with every step of the way. If you need electrical help in Marin I highly recommend Divine Electric.

Chris and Jeffrey couldn't have been more pleasant to deal with. They showed up each morning as planned and finished the project right on schedule. Their work looks so professional.....a lot of work for 3 days!!. Our generac is up and running and they made sure we understood everything about it, even though most everything is automatic. The area was completely cleaned up and we are very happy campers!!! Yes, I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Installed a car charger that was complicated due to location of service panel to garage and having a 150amp service. They were able to use a DCC That gave me a 60 amp car charger.
We had some landscape lighting done on a cold, rainy day just after Christmas. Vincent, Sebastian, and Abraham couldn't have been nicer or more professional. They were very polite and conscientious and didn't leave until the work was done to my satisfaction. Highly recommended.
They came right out to give us a quote to install our kitchen pendant lights. The price was good, they fit us on the calendar quickly and they were professional. Paul and Diego were knowledgeable and explained our options, helping us make decisions about placement, lightbulbs, etc. They cleaned up as they worked and especially after the job was completed. Professional, detail-oriented and personable. I highly recommend!
Sebastian and Diego ran new electric wires from my electric panel to the other side of the house to my new air conditioning unit. They were so professional and personable. I highly recommend this company. What a delight to work with!!
Thanks so much!
These 5-stars review are entirely and completely well-deserved. Rob came to our house for an initial estimate and scheduling. The next week Alejandro and Abraham came out for 3 full days to do a slew of electrical work - including replacing every single outlet and switch cover we had, adding dimmers, rewiring, and installing new light fixtures throughout our new house. They were on time to the second, each day, so pleasant to have in our home (even as we worked from home all 3 days), and their attention to detail is absolutely superb. My husband and I are tough critics and thought the work was done absolutely perfectly and methodically, and we'd recommend them to any and everyone looking for electric work.

Have used Divine Electric for several projects and refer to everyone I know. Fast, responsive, excellent price, incredible service, not a single complaint! Sam is fantastic.. and really everyone there is high caliber.
I'd give Divine Electric 100 stars if it was possible. Phenomenal service from start to finish. The person receiving my initial call was as polite and helpful as can be, and we were able to arrange a prompt meeting for an estimate. Two days later Rob scoped out my need for an EV charger, and showed a clear interest in making the job as efficient and cost-effective as possible, in addition to obviously loving his job, the team he works with, and their focus on customer satisfaction. Finally, just as planned, Edgar came out to do the job itself, and again demonstrated that the business is value-driven, with an emphasis on professionalism, excellence, respect and integrity. The installation was perfect, and Edgar made sure my software/wireless connections were functioning, and documented proper charging of my car. This is the first time I've interacted with Divine (I just happened to call them first), and there's no question they will be my go-to company for any of my electrical or plumbing needs going forward.
Divine Electric is seriously our go to! We have had amazing people here. We've probably had about 20 of their employees here give or take and love every single one of them. Office staff, supervisors, and field electricians are all fantastic. Chris R is our go to right now! We appreciate that he goes above and beyond everytime. He is honest and trustworthy and tells us when things won't work. We have even spoken to the owner, he is just as awesome as his employees! Thank you for all that you guys do!!
Jeff M was terrific! Prompt and very knowledgeable. I like to understand how things work, and he patiently explained everything. I would call him again in a nanosecond!
Paul K. did a great job inspecting our entire system (3 panels) and completing the work needed to bring the entire system up to snuff and compliant with current codes (which had changed since original installation). He got our timer box working again and walked us through everything w need to understand what we now have in place.
All modifications were completed quickly and in one visit because Divine has a really good parts department and literally has staff deliver needed parts to the job-site immediately. So we didn't need to wait for parts or a second appointment. Pretty swift!
The system is now safer and more reliable as a result. In addition to being a terrific fellow and great to work with, Paul's thoroughness and attention to detail were top notch. Super glad we found this group and will use them next time without hesitation.

Never have used their service and found them on Yelp. They arrived on time, the technician was very helpful and told us what he was taking care of on what was not working. Explained things completely and was very responsive to questions. We will call again when needing electrical service

Of course with fire season upon us we were looking at different options for generators. Divine Electric came and gave us an $89 consult. While initially we didn't want to spend this money for just a consult, it proved invaluable. We got some excellent money saving advice and ended up hiring them to install a generator switch. The initial consult fee of $89 went towards the cost of the switch.
Both the initial consultant and the employee, who installed the generator switch, were above and beyond helpful, well informed + super friendly.
As a homeowner of many years it's always a pleasure to find a company that is knowledgeable, provides good service + advice for a reasonable cost. I highly recommend this company if you're looking for these things!
Always does an amazing job. We have used Divine for all our electrical needs for years and they continue to do a great job. Planning on using them for plumbing and heating also.
I just finished another electrical project with Divine Electric. The project scheduling was a bit bumpier than normal but Paul and Jeffrey saved the day for Divine. We wanted the circuits changed on the transfer panel supporting our generator. Confirming the circuits, keeping track of what was what and where it went wasn't trivial. Paul and Jeffrey were patient, friendly, knowledgeable and made sure that the job was done right. In the last year, I have completed many projects with Divine Electric and they always do a fantastic job. If you want it done right with a positive customer experience then use Divine Electric. As an aside, I have spoken with many of their employees and all of them have told me that Divine is a great company to work for. They are treated very well, provided with excellent training and given the opportunity to advance. It is nice to support a company that respects their employees.

Had a strange wiring issue in my son's room, and Nathan came out to diagnose the problem. He was punctual, professional and very friendly - and, mindful of my time, he quickly got started on my issue. Once he isolated the problem, he clearly explained what was going and and walked me through several options that would work best for my budget. He was able to start right away, and quickly completed the job...and most importantly, he put everything back the way it was - you'd never know he was ever there! He also offered some tips on how to get the maximum life out of some of my fixtures, which was greatly appreciated! All in all, great service, and highly recommend!
Had to get a repair done on some AC unit wiring and Divine had an easy process to have someone come out and look at it.
Jacob A ended up doing the repair. He was knowledgable, professional, and was able to give good recommendations for future safety upgrades or projects without any pressure to pay for them on the spot. Just looking at the work I can appreciate the craftsmanship and care that was put into the job. I had a great experience and will be going to Divine first thing for future projects. Thanks Jacob!

Yelp is great because it helps you find amazing companies like this one. Everything about the experience of getting new lighting with Divine was top-notch, and I would 100% recommend them to anyone.
I needed three lights replaced at my house, two fluorescents in the garage and one halogen in the kitchen. After inquiring over email, they responded promptly the next day and set up a time for a visit a short time later. Everything about scheduling and communication was incredibly professional, transparent, easy, and digital. Rob came over to my place and helped to guide me through my options and explained what would needed to be done for the project. He showed me pictures of the different options and pulled up pricing on his iPad - again, the whole experience felt very polished and tech-enabled. I appreciated how clearly he explained my options for me, including suggesting ways that I could save money in the process. There was an $89 dispatch fee, but it could be credited towards the work if I went with them, which I did. Almost right after Rob left, I was called and set up a time for the work to be done. I don't know much about electrical work, but from Googling online the prices they quoted me seemed pretty fair. Rob gave me his card, and when I had further questions for him over email a few days later, he responded incredibly quickly with relevant, helpful advice.
Today, Alejandro and Diego showed up to install the lights, and their installation was everything I'd hoped for. The lights and outlet they installed look fantastic, they were on time, they were respectful of me and my house, they were easy to work with, they finished the work very quickly, and they explained everything they were doing super well. When I had questions for them, they had great, detailed recommendations and explanations - they clearly know their stuff. They even replaced an unused light fixture socket near the area they were working with a cover for free!
I plan to use Divine for all of my future lighting needs, and probably my plumbing needs too given the experience. Thank you Divine! You've found yourself a new loyal customer.

They were kind courteous and punctual. They love their craft and it shows.
I had an electric water heater installed. They were able do complete the job in a timely manor and were friendly and professional the whole time.
Great job guys

We had a number of long-delayed electrical projects and upgrades done a few months ago and mistakenly thought some landscape lighting had stopped working. Paul Kelly came back and showed me what had happened and how to easily fix it. He also showed me how to adjust a motion detector light that was bothering us, and fixed a switch. He was very polite and kind, and is exactly the kind of person you want doing work on your home.
Great work the first time and extremely valuable followup.
This is our second time trusting Divine Electric with a relatively big job (hot tub installation) and once again they delivered on every front. Starting with the evaluation and quote, Nathan was thoughtful and thorough in coming up with the best, most cost-effective way to get power to a somewhat tricky site. When the day came to actually run the wiring, Chris and Jeffrey were an absolute pleasure to work with - when they arrived on site, they walked us through their initial plan and answered all of our questions; as the project progressed, they kept us updated and looped us in on the various ways they found to ensure the best possible end result. We're now all set up and couldn't be happier with the outcome delivered by everyone at Divine Electric - we'll definitely be calling them next time we need electrical work done around the house!
Was having an electric car charger installed by their electrician arm and thought I'd have them check out my low water pressure. Alex was great, walked me through the issue, and fixed it same day. Didn't compare prices, so can't comment on the price. However, I was extremely happy with the level and efficiency of service.
Paul Kelly was great! He was very responsive in letting me know his availability and when he would be coming by which made it helpful to plan the day. He was very professional and made sure I knew/was aware of the work he was doing and explained the details of my electrical issue.
Alex was the best plumber we've ever had. Incredibly quick and helpful, taught me more about our kitchen plumbing than I ever imagined! Cannot recommend Divine enough if you live in Marin County.
We had an electrical problem crop up Thursday evening that disabled a number of our wall outlets even though the circuit breaker was fine. I called Divine and they were able to commit to an appointment for the next morning. I received a call in the morning confirming the appointment, just as had been committed. Jae actually was able to arrive early (again, we received a call notifying us) and was able to diagnose the problem and complete the repair in an hour. Jae had an excellent attitude and provided great service. We will gladly use Divine and Jae when next we have an electrical issue.
I had a small problem with the electrical outlets in my garage so I called Divine. I set up an appointment for the following week. They did call me back to confirm the appointment and let me know about the costs. Be aware - they charge a $90 service fee for them to come out and diagnose a problem. They require this fee payment before they come to the house. Then on the day of the appointment, the dispatch called twice to let me know when their guy was on his way over. That was a good touch.
The service guy, Rob, was very courteous and helpful. He came out, figured out the problem and got my electrical line and outlets fixed in a short time. Was it good service ? Yes. It was a little on the pricey side but I would use them again.

We've waited over 2 weeks to get an outlet repair done and they canceled our appointment last minute. I didn't bother looking at other electrician because I trusted this company over their great reviews. They canceled the appointment last minute and they ask to reschedule it in 5 days. They did nothing but waste my time.
What a wonderful experience it was working with the folks at Divine Electric! Professional, personable, thorough and diligent. Paul Kelly came out and did fantastic work. Cleaned up our electrical issues and brought the house up to code. He was so kind, very responsive and gracious and made sure I understood everything he was doing and why. I also have some itinerary ideas for a trip to Ireland! Highly recommend!
We needed to have a water heater replaced with a tankless water heater. It was a rather complicated job because it was located in a very small space. It would have been near to impossible for anyone to attempt but Divine Electric and Plumbing did attempt it, and succeeded. From the beginning, they showed the utmost integrity, efficiency and professionalism. We were impressed with the entire team who seem to operate like a well oiled machine. We want to thank Mike in the office,Layla, Brian in the field as well as Victor and the rest of the crew who worked tirelessly in the trenches getting this exceptionally difficult job done without a hitch. I would not hesitate to recommend Divine Electric and Plumbing for all of your plumbing and electrical needs, whether it's a small or a large project. It was money well spent. Besides having peace of mind,the tankless works amazingly well, a very big improvement! Thank you Divine Electric & Plumbing!

Reliable. On time. Excellent work. Great communication. Would recommend them to anyone!
I'd give them 10*s if I could! Jae Joo from Divine Electric was incredibly efficient, personable and top notch with his installation & pricing for our new gas insert Fireplace electrical hook up. Jae explained everything upfront clearly & was excellent in all aspects of the job. We will hire him again & again for any electrical needs. It was Divine

I had Divine Electric come out to install a Tesla EV charger and I was extremely pleased with the service I received. Divine was very responsive and helpful with all my questions and my service technician, Joe Alvarez, was awesome. Always on time, super fast and efficient, and he walked me through everything. Would recommend Divine to anyone for their EV charging needs.
Nathan was fantastic to work with today! He was very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. Unfortunately, during his initial inspection Nathan identified several potentially dangerous issues with our new electrical panel and sub-panel (both were permitted and passed final inspections!) I very much appreciated him taking the time to explain the issues to me in language I could understand, enabling me to follow up with the company that did the initial installation to get these issues rectified.
Nathan was very careful and clean when working in our house - installing our new Ring doorbell required cutting into the drywall, he did a great job patching that up which will make the final spackle/prime/paint job much easier and quicker for my handyman next week.
I highly recommend Divine Electric!
We needed a new water heater. Alex was great, super knowledgeable, transparent, and cost effective. Thank you
Thanks to Joseph for being super helpful and patient and quickly diagnosing and fixing our electrical issues--a loose ground wire, loose circuit breaker wires, and malfunctioning outlets. Five stars to Joseph and Divine!
We called Divine Electric after our neighbours' 5 star experience with them. Another local electric company failed to solve our Wi-Fi ceiling lights issue. Nathan, who came to assess our situation, was fantastic. He offered options and explained them, suggested we get a surge protector and provided an estimate based on our decisions. We loved that DE estimates include all materials, time, etc and will be adhered to. The two electricians who came to do the work were on time and walked us through what they did. Overall, an outstanding experience!

They are expensive, and they are worth it for complex work.
Each person who has showed up has been professional, on time, and good at communicating scope and cost of work. They seem to have pride in their company, and they will turn down certain jobs rather than take on something they think they can't do well (which is a pain sometimes).
Divine will estimate and bill some jobs at a fairly high flat rate per task, instead of billing by hours spent on the task. This can lead to large estimates for simple stuff like replacing light switches or fixtures. You may want to look elsewhere for handyman-level work, but use Divine when you need something complex done right and on time.
If you're looking for a super reliable, responsive, honest, competitively priced and professional electrician, look no further. We've used Divine for simple and very complicated work (incl a complex generator install) on multiple occasions and they've earned 5 stars every time. Darin Divine (the owner) takes a ton of pride in his company's work. His team is clearly extremely well-trained and knowledgeable. Thanks to Jake, Sam, Luis, Conor, Felix, Jacob, and Chris for all their help.
This is a review for Divine Electric & Plumbing in general and specific employees in particular.
Alex installed our new tankless water heater. Not only did he do a great job, but he was also fun and gregarious. He answered my questions (which were numerous) and was patient in helping me understand the overall installation process. Alex went above and beyond in making sure that the project was well and thoughtfully executed, especially as there were some constraints. I highly recommend Alex and Divine for your plumbing needs.
*review for Shaun*
Once our main project was complete, Alex recommended a colleague, Shaun, for a separate outdoor issue. Shaun was prompt, helpful and skillfully fixed our leak. He even finished the job ahead of schedule. Thank you!
Joe did a fantastic job updating our service panel and installing an EV charger. He's super friendly, punctual and he takes pride in doing the job right. He also took care to leave everything clean and neat. Throughout the job he kept me informed about his progress and I appreciate his good natured, can do attitude. A+ for Joe and Divine Electric! As Joe kiddingly says, we are a customer service company that does electrical work on the side. They do excellent electrical work but I'd rate their customer service second to none.
I couldn't be happier with this company. They were recommended by my plumber. They were super professional and competent. Ben came in to assess three separate electrical problems in our old home. He quickly fixed one problem and then scheduled a team to come in a couple days later for the other two issues. Felix and Kevin arrived this morning. Before climbing under the house and doing the job they were hired to, Felix did some quick assessment and found a problem in my panel and fixed that. He then was able to reverse engineer my final problem rather than cutting into my drywall as originally planned. The two jobs took 1/2 the time of the original scheduled job. I ended up paying a fraction of what was expected. Felix understood the unique nuances of 80 year old electrical wiring and modern day as well.

We have used Divine Electric for the past few years but this year Joseph, our electrician, really went above and beyond. He resolved not only the three issues that we called for service on, he quickly and efficiently fixed a few things that have been nagging us for years which we didn't even know could be fixed.
He was on time, professional, communicated clearly, and got the work done in no time. Big thumbs up.

Well organized, communicative, thorough and efficient. I found them on Yelp back in 2016 and called them for an EV charger installation quote. Darin responded promptly with a detailed proposal including permit information, and subsequent change order requests. We found their rates to be fair, but ultimately ended up getting this project done directly with the same company that was doing work in the garage to install our solar panels.
Fast forward to 4 years later -- we had an electrical project regarding GFCI outlets and landscaping lights. I did my usual Yelp consult and contacted a couple companies for an estimate, including Divine Electric especially remembering their professionalism so many years ago. Again their rates were fair but most of all, their scheduling was efficient -- so we decided to go with Divine and very glad we did. Both projects ended up being a bit more complicated than expected, but the technician Nelson put in all the hours over multiple days required to get a resolution.
This was also summer of 2020 and Covid protocols were followed strictly and I felt very safe to have the technician working around the house (none of that mask covering everything but the nose futility that you often see!)
The company also gets great points for tech savviness -- I received 3 options via email within minutes of getting the verbal summary from the technician. And just a few minutes later, digitally signed and paid!
Can't go wrong with this company!
Great experience and customer service. After initial call to get a technician out, the office took care of everything and kept me updated in a very professional and timely manner.
Jeff Wuest came out to check on a issue I was having with some lights and fixed the issue promptly adding in some great advice and tips along the way. He also helped advise on some other potential projects we'd like to do and is definitely someone I will request to come back out when we're ready to move forward or have any other issues!
Very pleased. Thanks!
We had lights out in under our kitchen counter yesterday. Luis did an excellent job. He was professional, friendly and efficient. He even fixed another light and changed my thermostat. Will hire again when I need more work done
Thank you
Bernadette
While I've been extremely happy with the service from the whole company - this review is to give extra kudos to Alex V. I had two shower stalls with ancient plumbing and leaks around the handles. He took the time to explore potential workarounds, but eventually recommended that the valves be replaced. He ended up coming back out due to a simple error on my part, and quickly got that fixed too. He's super knowledgeable, patient, kind, and an all-around great plumber!

Divine Electric and Nathan DuPre our Electrician are exceptional. Nathan was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. He looked at our project and gave us several options to fulfill our needs for a new electric car charger. He explained them all in detail and we agreed on what we wanted and within a couple of days we had our charger installed for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them!

I wanted to give 10 thumbs up for the services provided by Rob at the Divine Electric. A couple weeks back Rob came out to our house to check our lines to see if we could install a Tesla wall charger. He was able to install it and did so in a timely fashion.
Plus a couple weeks later we had strange messages coming from the Tesla wall charger and the car wouldn't charge anymore. We did a couple quick tests ourself and figured out that it wasn't the car's problem, so it was the wall charger. I called the devine electric and on that same day probably within an hour or two Rob arrived again, ran additional tests, and figured out the problem. Not only did he fix the issue after offering a couple solutions, but he also gave recommendations on what we need to do in the future to keep our power supply safe and working.
Everything works great again, and because they installed the wall charger there was no cost for him to come out and do the repair, which was actually our breaker box (original one, old and out dated), and on top of it he was ready to replace the Tesla wall charger if needed. I definitely recommend divine electric, and we will be calling them for sure when we need to do additional electric work on our house. Thank you Rob for your excellent service!
Divine came #1 recommended through the Tesla site and for GOOD REASON as we sought an installer for a new Tesla vehicle charger. The process was seamless from scheduling and helpful easy SMS confirmation with Kayla and team through to this morning's service appointment with Paul who also confirmed before arriving. Paul was outstanding explaining in detail the process and options, and getting the job fully done this morning and staying to make sure everything was working properly before final sign-off. We'd actively recommend Divine and also phone them again for future needs with our new home here in Novato. Great team, on-time, quality outcome, and within budget for a competitively-priced solution. A+++.
Rob M. is the man. He showed up and was really helpful about options, explained why certain things might not be worth doing and helped us come up with both lighting choice for our kitchen as well as wall charger options for our garage.
We haven't even approved any work and we're already impressed with Divine's service. Their dispatchers also were thorough not only about Covid safety but also updating us on scheduling arrival time(s).
Great response time, good analysis and detailed scope of work provided. Costs were a bit high, but the quality of workmanship was excellent. Paul Kelly was very respectful, thorough, and made quick work of some issues we've faced. Thanks!

We had a leak and Victor was so quick to come out & take care of it. Great work ethic and conversation.
I've used Divine Electric over a dozen times in the last two years and they've always delivered fair prices, efficient service and most importantly, truly care about their customer.
My most recent experience was with their new plumbing division and though there were some issues early on as there tends to be during construction, they've always come through and made it right.
Big props to Alex and Victor, thank you!
Divine Electric did a great job installing our Tesla car charger. Paul K. was outstandingly professional, fast, clean and informative. Would absolutely use them again for projects big or small. Thanks team. Appreciate the fast help and professional service.
Fantastic service - Nathan is one of the most thorough and knowledgeable electricians Ive ever encountered. He helped install an outdoor light fixture and the work looks great! Can't recommend him and Divine Electic enough.

I had Divine Electric come to my home last year to see about options for a back up generator. They were prompt , courteous and very informative.
I had them return to update my kitchen and family room lighting and replace old smoke detectors.
The technician arrived promptly and finished all the work , explaining in detail the options available. I will definitely let Divine be my go to for any electrical items in my house !
we were very happy with Divine Electrics. They were professional yet friendly, keeping us informed about their progress along the way. Their aim was to do the job well, efficiently and with a generous spirit of friendliness and accommodation. we are very happy with their work.

Our tech, Rob, came to install 2 wall sconces. We weren't sure whether we wanted to install the new sconces in the same location as the old ones or whether we wanted to move them. Rob explained the process / expense for a possible relocation versus putting them in the existing location and that was super helpful.
Additionally, a couple of nights before our appointment my son noticed the ceiling fan in his room was suddenly quite wobbly. I asked Rob if he could take a quick peek at it and let me know whether we would need to have him back to repair it or whether it was more of a handyman job. Rob said the fan should be taken down immediately. The previous licensed and bonded electrician who'd installed the fan had used a light fixture box that was not properly anchored or rated for ceiling fan use. We are lucky the fan didn't fall and seriously injure our son. He sat under it almost daily playing LEGO's.
Finally, Rob was super COVID safe and we really appreciated that, too.
We had a great experience and will have Divine and hopefully Rob back out to install our son's new ceiling light when it arrives
I have read reviews where people said Divine is expensive. In a situation where you could lose your life by inattention to detail, inexperience, or carelessness, this is absolutely a case where I'm willing to pay a bit more to know my family is safe.
I've utilized Divine for a NEMA installation for my electric car as well as a separate outlet install, and Rob Markey just did a fantastic job installing a ceiling fan and making sure the lights and other fans in my rooms are not on the same channels. You could pay a bit less elsewhere I'm sure, but they are efficient, super reliable, and super responsive with any questions or concerns so the peace of mind is worth a lot. Highly recommend.

Great service. Each time I have used them I have been very happy with the technicians.
This company always does the most amazing job they can. They have extremely qualified people working for them! We have used them for electrical issues and for plumbing. This particular time we had Diego and he did a fabulous job fixing our motion detector light and didn't leave until he solved all of the problems we were having with it. He did a great job !!!!
We have had great success with Divine Electric on past projects but have never tried the Plumbing business. WOW! We are very pleased.
We had two projects, a whole house filtration system and a Grohe Blue Sparkling water system for the kitchen faucet. To us, these feel like two projects on the more complex side and they were done to perfection.
Alex is fantastic. He is everything we could want:
- Responsive
- Knowledgeable
- Fair Priced
- Interested
- On time
- Great communicator
We have dealt with so many contractors that don't even return a call and Alex was a breath of fresh air.
We will be using Divine on our next plumbing and Electrical projects.
Great job Divine.
We called Divine to replace an Insinkerator and the garbage disposal. I had the new replacement units. After multiple questions about the house, water heater, water pressure, how long we've lived there, which began to sound like a medical exam, the estimate came in at over a $1K !!!! I was stunned! $1,000 !!!!! Time to call another plumber.
These guys recently did a two day group of projects for me ranging from new outdoor and indoor lights to running a circuit for a new HVAC to running a circuit for a new doorbell. The team of Paul, Josh, Nestor were very professional and friendly. We talked it all over carefully and they followed the plan closely and worked clean and fast. I feel like I had a reasonably good rate (always hard to know for sure but I did have another electrician look at the quote) as well. Recommended. Thanks!
I've been using Divine Electric for a few years now, and am always very pleased with their service. Today was no exception. My hot tub died and
I couldn't get the breaker switch to turn back on. The technician, Joseph, was extremely knowledgable and helpful. He got the tub to turn back on and
suggested I might want to consider a new switch (old one was 14 yrs old). So
I ordered a new switch to be installed. Great service and fair price.
We had a long list of electrical items that needed updating in our 40 year old home. Jaime & Rigo showed up on time and went right to work. Every item was completed by the end of the day. This is the second time we have used Divine and will use them again.
First appointment, they called 15 minutes after the plumber was scheduled to be here to say he wouldn't be coming due to a family emergency. Okay, no problem. Next appointment, no show, no call. I call them, they don't know what's going on. Will have dispatch call me. No call from dispatch. 90 minutes later the plumber calls and says he's on his way. I told him to forget it, I didn't have the time anymore. Disappointing.
Alex and Vic helped me out great times. I had some plumbing issues both in my kitchen and bathroom. Alex and Vic were able to go above and beyond to help me fix the problems. They even noticed some issues that were outside of the bid and just took care of them for me. I'm very satisfied with their services and appreciate their help.

We had Divine Electric install an EV charger in our garage and they did an outstanding job. The entire process was efficient and communication was excellent throughout. Sam was extremely helpful in designing the solution for us and presented several options and helped find a way to deliver what we wanted cheaper than originally though. The office was also great about confirming the appointment, sharing information, and making sure everyone was taking reasonable COVID-precaution measures. On the install day, Chris and Eric were timely and communicated throughout. They were considerate when inside our home and kept us updated on progress throughout the day. They even had extra crew (Jaime) join at the end to clean up and make sure everything worked properly. The EV charger does exactly what we needed. We will happily use Divine again for future electrical needs.

We had a generator installed at our home and I can say nothing but good things about Divine Electric. Their employees, Chris, Eric and Juan were courteous, professional and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with their work. We would definitely use them again.
Harris and Carlos did a fantastic job running ethernet cables through our crawlspace to give us hard-wired internet accessible from multiple rooms. They really went above and beyond recommending equipment and helping us get this project done. Our estimator Rob was also a great resource. Excellent service all around!
It was a pleasure to work with Joe from Divine Electric. He answered all our questions and gave practical advice. He is professional, friendly and helpful. We would definitely work with him again.

I just had an electrical panel installed for the undergrounding project in my neighborhood. Divine Electric was recommended and I'm glad they were the company I decided to go with. Chris, Jaime and Jeffrey arrived on time, worked efficiently and couldn't have been more considerate. They were a real pleasure to work with and are a credit to their company.
Experienced professional, service above and beyond! Office kept me apprised of technician's arrival timing so I didn't have to rush or wait. Very considerate. Nathan arrived right on schedule, spent a lot of time troubleshooting my smoke alarm problems and explaining possibilities and options. Best experience with an electrician I have had in decades! No need to look elsewhere than Divine Electric.
I have been turning to Divine Electric as my sole provider of electrical services for the past 8 years. And while everyone that Divine has sent to us has always done an excellent job, we usually request Nathan for not only his professionalism but his innovative way of solving problems. Most recently, we needed to find a way to run an ethernet cable from the second floor of our home to a first-floor office. It wasn't as simple as it sounds. The solution Nathan came up with is seamless and looks neat and clean. I highly recommend Divine. And if Nathan is available, even better.

Five stars for Jae from Divine Electric! We weren't sure what the issue was, but Jae diagnosed it immediately as a bad transformer. His work was efficient, yet completely careful and thorough. He also took great care in setting up his equipment in order to access the difficult-to-reach transformer. He kept me updated with his progress, explained the issue, and gave me the price of the work before he completed it. Jae wore a mask and gloves the entire time he worked. I should also mention how friendly and easy to talk to he was!
The dispatchers at Divine were also great - very communicative and kept us updated about timing (and Jae was precisely on time).
We'll definitely be using Divine in the future!

Highly recommend Divine Electric & Plumbing. Jacob and Diego are fantastic to work with, we thoroughly appreciate the time the took to install our wall charger and external outlets in the cleanest most aesthetically ideal way. They are consultative in their approach, and improved upon the original plan to better hide the electrical lines behind our walls. An awesome duo.

Devine Electric and Plumbing installed a gas line to our fireplace. While here relighting our gas water heater. They noticed a faulty installation by another group that could have burst and sent water everywhere. Our water heater also was 20 yrs old so we had them come back and replace it.
They are prompt, clean, friendly. They might cost a bit more but the quality and service are worth it. We would definitely use them again.
Joseph was super knowledgeable, friendly and efficient when fixing several electrical issues we had around the house. Appreciate the help and stellar service from intake call to invoice. Would highly recommend Divine Electric and Joseph!
Hired divine to install a Tesla charger, which was a challenging job given our existing electric panel and layout. Big shoutout to Barker and Harris for finding a great solution. Overall very pleased with the result!

A leak was discovered in the plumbing system and we got an appointment a workday later. Victor and Sean arrived and reviewed Divine Electric's protocol and process to ensure we knew what to expect
They then proceeded to identify the source of the leak and repair it. At each step they explained what they found and how they chose to fix the problem. They did a fantastic job overall. It was pleasant to work with them. We are very satisfied
P S. It is amazing how 2 very tall and well built men choose and are able to get on very small crawl spaces.

All I can say is that any expectations I had in regards to the work being done at my house and the individual performing in it were far exceeded in the case of Paul Kelly who installed a Tesla car charger for me earlier this week. His attention to detail was extraordinary as was the care and time he gave me. On top of that, the area was left spotless and the charger works just as promised, thanks to Paul's supreme attention to detail.
Thank you Divine Electric, and thank you Paul!
Great overall experience with Darin, the dispatcher and Nelson who did the work.
We had an outlet that was sparking and then shutting down the lights. From call to schedule was less then 24 hours. Nelson was onsite --very covid respectful, professional appearance and polite. He explained my options to fix the issue and I felt the price was fair.
Issue was fixed fast and service was excellent. Thank you. Truly divine.
We had a problem with a defective hot water shutoff valve in the bathroom (on a weekend, of course). Monday morning I reached out to Divine Electric & Plumbing. They gave me an appointment for the same day. Due to a previously scheduled job for their plumber, he was unable to come Monday afternoon, however, Elizabeth was great about keeping me informed. She rescheduled us for Tuesday. Jeff Marsalla came out, quickly recommended a fix and was able to complete the work in about an hour. When done, he noted another issue with drainage of the sink and he fixed that, too. Jeff's service was excellent as was the follow up by Elizabeth. Thanks to all!
I've now used Divine Electric multiple times and I've been very happy with their service:
- They installed back up power for us, so we can be well prepared for the PG&E power shut offs. I appreciated how the tech walked me through all the different options taking into account cost, county regulations, and availability. Now I've got a Yeti battery which I'm very happy with, that has carried us through multiple power outages
- Next up was when we installed A/C, we needed to install separate plugs, so Divine Electric did that. And what prompted my positive review here is I called them again recently because my oven would trip the breaker when he heater or the A/C was running. Paul K came out today to diagnose the issue. We couldn't reproduce the problem, but he did suspect that the breaker that was tripping was too sensitive, so he replaced it. Paul spent 2 hours (!) here running all kinds of tests and in the end didn't charge me because I'm a long time customer. I like being Divine Electric's long time customer :)
- DE has also done smaller jobs for me, like reattaching a loose wire outside the house and installing a new landscaping light which have all gone well.
In all my experiences with them, they've been very friendly, great communicators, and have done high quality work at a reasonable price.
My recent experience with Divine Electric was fantastic. it starts from the first phone call - friendly and knowledgable staff organizing an on-site visit to scope the job. Joseph came out and took me thru the required scope of work and answered all of my questions while giving me alternatives for completing the work. The work was then promptly scheduled and Joseph and Kevin came out and upgraded an electric panel and wiring for me all within the described timing and cost. I highly recommend Divine!

Sidney and Felix installed my charge point charger today. They very knowledgeable and professional and they were much quicker than I expected. Before they left, they made sure I understood how to use the ChargePoint app, and then I got all the paperwork that I needed. I highly recommend!
We had a problem with a dimmer and the outlet below; the switch plate screws got so hot they burned my son's finger. I called D.E. on the recommendation of a friend. The rep came over and utterly failed to diagnosis the problem; and he proposed to change outlets that were fine- for the estimated price of $1000 plus another $300 if we wanted a 3 year guarantee. I paid him $89 for coming over and tried to stop payment on the check. Devine deposited the check electronically so they got the money they had not earned. The problem was the dimmer was not designed for LED bulbs; Devine never figured this out. I paid a reasonably priced electrician less than 20% of D.E.'proposal to diagnose and fix this problem. Based on my experience I would not recommend Divine Electric.
We had several complex electrical projects to complete in our home. First, we had new recessed lighting put in the kitchen and old track light fixtures replaced with LED fixtures in 4 rooms. At a different time, the entire Circuit Breaker box had to be upgraded and repositioned, a dedicated outlet for a space heater added in a bedroom and an EV charger installed. It took two full days for Luis and Liam to work on this, as our home is older and had complicated wiring. They were very respectful of my husband's work schedule in the home office, providing a generator to run our Wi-Fi and his computer. Luis and Liam were friendly, professional and explained the project step by step so I understood everything. I appreciate their tireless work, good spirits and exceptional problem solving. They left the work area spotless and were very helpful connecting the EV charger to the App. Thank you Divine Electric for excellent work on our project!
Nathan showed up on time, did a great job with Covid safety and provided a clear overview of the project before beginning. The quality of the finished work was excellent and he provided a lot of education on options and safety. My overall experience with Divine Electric was excellent from scheduling to completed work. My only constructive feedback was that the cost was more than expected, but I guess you get what you pay for. Thanks for a job well done!
Upgraded our power panel box and also installed a home EV charger. From start to finish Divine Electric was professional & provided quality service & advice. We highly recommend them. The only downside was waiting 6 mos. for PG&E to give a date to schedule the power to be off. (Not Divine's issue). All the guys that worked with us: Rob, Jake, Ryan, Juan & Danny were excellent did fantastic work, were quick and professional and answered all my questions. We will be repeat customers for sure.
My mother's house was built in 1962. The dangerously outdated Federal Pacific circuit breaker was in need of retirement. Her kitchen appliances were vulnerable to breakage and shorts because the circuits did not trip properly when frequent power outages occurred. We had several reputable electricians come out to bid on the project which included some other minor updates as well. Divine Electric ended up getting the job due to their fair pricing, responsiveness and high level of professionalism. Each contact person along the way was polite, patient and highly qualified. Kudos especially to the technicians, Diego, Ryan and Juan who did an outstanding job. They really take pride in their work and did a few extras at no extra cost. What can we say except that we will be calling upon them again and hope that you will too.
Had a leak under my sink. Great communication with Kayla, who answered the phone . Jonathan was efficient , friendly, professional. He not only fixed the leak but cleaning up afterwards. A+

Paul and Alex did an incredible job with our electric work - new panels, outdoor heater, transfer switch and more. They are super-professional, kind and prompt. Their work is beautifully installed. We had one electrician tell us that they could not get a wire through from one side of our house to another above the ceiling - Paul and Alex embraced the challenge and did it! I will use them for any future electrical work.
