Reviews
Devine gets the job done, Chris was fantastic and he was professional and pleasant. Clearly knows what he is doing. He also got the job done pretty quickly. The only reason I dinged Devine a bit is that they are pretty pricey whether doing plumbing or electrical so be prepared to pay more than you expect, but they are professional and responsive.

Jeff was amazing. Knew exactly what was wrong with our reverse osmosis. Very knowledgeable & so nice to work with. If we have any plumbing issues in the future, jeff will be the one we call for help. Thank you Jeff.

Super Service for my EV charger install! Easy scheduling, a great we are on the way text (with name and photo of technician!), transparent pricing, responsive communications, and stellar quality of work.
Chris Ramirez was my technician - he did a terrific job, including making the necessary adjustments to my panel. Chris was professional, friendly and generous with his time, even went out of his way to protect and gently work around my (giant!) hydrangea bush that was in his way.
Icing on the cake was the fact that he cleaned up the site like a CHAMP when he was done.
Will absolutely use Divine again.

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!

Devine was really efficient to work with. They installed a Tesla wall charger in a few hours, and helped me with the set up. Very easy to work with. Luis M and Romario P handled the install very professionally!
Luis and Romario did a great professional job, finishing on time and with minimal disruption to our house.

I used Divine for my electrical needs in the past. I have always been pleased with their service. I needed to have a kitchen ceiling light replaced. I do a lot of my own home repairs/up keep-(sometimes with the help of U Tube videos) but getting on a ladder and sticking my fingers into wires etc. is beyond my confidence level. I called Divine and got a next day appointment- the office person(she) kept me updated regarding arrival time. Chris was very good at explaining the light fixture and answered my questions about the brightness and safety of using it ( the light is a integrated LED). Chris asked about other electrical needs and concerns. I had Chris check my outside electric socket. He did and it was safe and protected from the weather. Chris also checked my inside house sockets and explained that the sockets had a trip safety feature. He was meticulous in his work and answered my questions.
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!!

After loosing power in the bathroom it was time to call an electrician. A couple of months ago Divine electric completed some work at my house so I called upon them again. Paul Kelly was assigned to the job. Paul was polite, thorough and diagnosed the problem from the get-go. He also addressed several other electrical questions I had. What I appreciated the most about Paul's work was his willingness to explain everything and make sure all my questions were answered. Best of all he fixed the problem and left the place just as neat as he found it.

Their service person, Jae Jo, was very impressive. He listened to my description of our problems , considered the alternatives for repairs and clearly informed me his recommendations for a solution. I appreciate his approach to customer service and the results of his work were excellent.

Excellent work! We couldn't be more pleased with the job Jae, Paul and his team completed. We had new lights and outlets installed in our office and upgrades done in the garage. We were guided through the process with their expert knowledge and professionalism. The work was done with great care and with consideration to our needs. I highly recommend Divine Electric and will use them again for other projects down the road.
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

Chris was clear when he informed us of our options to install a new electric cooktop. He included the rationale for each option, benefits, cost and risks.
After we chose an option Chris and Juan came in and installed a new electrical outlet for the cooktop. They were on time and finished in the time they estimated. They needed to trench the ceiling of a room to feed the new wiring, and they did so expertly and better than I expected the job to look. They also recommended patch pros to finish the job. They left the rooms as they found them, clean of any debris from the job.
I am purchasing an electric car soon and Divine will be my first call for that install.
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!
We needed a 30 amp outlet installed for our new dryer. Paul came out to give us a quote and was able to install the same day. Paul was a pleasure to work with, very professional and explained everything in a simple manner.
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!

Had Divine out to replace a sump pump. They would not provide a quote for the work and said they needed to come out to price it, but required a fee of about $100 to come out that could be used the work. When the gentleman arrived he was more focused on selling us a water heater and some other work and had to remind him he was there for the sump pump. He quoted us over $2000 for the work. When asked why it was so expensive as it was just replacing the pump in a pre-existing pit, he told me that Marin is expensive and Divine needs to pay their employees a livable wage. I understand I'm paying a premium going to them versus buying a sump pump and installing it myself or calling a handyman, but that's really not an acceptable answer. I paid the site visit and won't be calling them again. The guy was super nice, and you could tell knowledgeable, so if price isn't a factor in your decision I'm sure they do great work.
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!
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!)

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.
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.

The most expensive service you can get. Almost $1100 to change about 8 feet long.
Exceptional Service from Paul K at Divine Electric!
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Divine Electric, and I must say that the service provided by Paul K was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. I'm delighted to share my experience and highly recommend their services.
From the moment I made the reservation over the phone, Divine Electric displayed exceptional professionalism and attention to detail. What impressed me the most was the thoughtful communication leading up to the appointment. The day before, they went the extra mile and sent me a confirmation text, ensuring that everything was still on track. This proactive approach gave me peace of mind and showed their commitment to customer satisfaction.
One hour before Paul's scheduled arrival, I received another text message that included a picture of Paul and a brief bio about him. This personal touch made me feel more comfortable and familiar with the technician who would be working in my home. It's these small details that set Divine Electric apart.
Paul's punctuality was impeccable, arriving right on time as promised. He greeted me with a friendly and professional demeanor, instantly putting me at ease. We discussed the electrical work I needed to be done, and Paul attentively listened to my requirements and concerns.
What impressed me most about Paul was his transparency and dedication to customer satisfaction. He took the time to recap our conversation, ensuring that he understood all my needs correctly. Furthermore, he wanted to avoid any surprises with the billing and provided me with several estimate options before beginning the work. This level of upfront communication and willingness to accommodate my preferences made a significant impact on my overall satisfaction.
Throughout the service, Paul demonstrated his expertise and skill. He worked efficiently and effectively, leaving no room for doubt about his competence. The quality of his workmanship was exceptional, and the final results surpassed my expectations. I was thoroughly impressed with his attention to detail and commitment to delivering a job well done.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with the exceptional service provided by Paul K from Divine Electric. The level of professionalism, communication, and expertise demonstrated by him throughout the entire process was truly commendable. I highly recommend Divine Electric for any electrical needs, as their team, particularly Paul, goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Thank you, Paul, for your outstanding work!

This company is a scam. All of these 5 star reviews must be paid for because here was my experience: I called for some very basic plumbing (needed to increase water pressure on a sink and shower) and electric (needed quote to upgrade a plug) wipes and ended up with 3 men at my house for hours. For the plumbing they told me that I need to re-plumb my entire house for $30k to fix the water pressure. Somehow they managed to increase the water pressure that day without any changes to the plumbing and charged me $377 for it. They get a star for doing what they were actually hired to do, but that price was Insane. Unprovoked they also told me we need a new hot water heater, which we already knew it was on the end of its life, and that they could replace it for $5k-$6k which is the best price in town. That's nuts! I paid $1200 when I had to do that at my last place and it was under emergency circumstances and when I paid $1k was criminal. The electrician was slightly better, he provided me quotes for the tasks I requested, and he did do the job he was hired for and not much more, but his quotes were also very wildly high. $1200 to add a plug in a bathroom. $2500 to upgrade to a 220v. Truly do not call this company unless you want to be ripped off and have your time wasted!!

Chris Ramirez from Divine just finished fixing an outside electrical box that had stopped functioning. He did a very good, fast job and also checked the breaker panel and several other basic things in the house for safety. He took the time to clearly explain everything he had done. Divine scheduled him right away when I called them, even though I told them this was NOT an emergency, and Chris was very punctual (early, even!) Fair price for the work done, and Chris was super nice to work with. Highly recommend.

The technician tried to charge me $570 to snake a drain. We were in pretty desperate need of help. We went with another company who did it for $75.... Also, the technician initially said he might have to redo the pipes and demo my wall. Turns out it was some lint in the drain and it was fixed by Rotor Hero in 30 mins. Again, it cost $75 nearly $500 less and the other company didn't try to tell me I needed $10K worth of improvements.

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.
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.
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.
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.

The service was good and the plumber was very professional but I was really disappointed by the quotes I received. The plumber told me I needed a new hot water system and quoted almost $4000, and when I had another company come for a second quote they told me it was just fine and when it does break, it should cost substantially less.

I am so impressed by the professionalism and outstanding customer service. From the first phone call to the visit and great work by the technician. I highly recommend them!
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.
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.
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.

Jeff did a great job replacing our bathroom faucet. He arrived right on time and returned the same day when we noticed a small leak from the trap under the sink. This was due to a prior installation and he fixed it right up. I give him 5 stars. Rated 4 stars due to my frustration with getting any kind of approximate estimate on the cost of this task in advance.
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.

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.
Exceeded expectations Detail oriented service and personnel of the highest caliber trustworthy

Since our last review the company put us on notice there was a lien on our property for non payment of the balance for the project. Nobody called or emailed, just put us on notice. From the complaints we made they offered to come maintain the generator for a while as compensation but no call or follow through there either. They lost their way, too bad because they used to be excellent.
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.

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!!!
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.

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.

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.
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.
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!
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
On time, responsive, and clear explanations of the scope of work to be done to replace an old and failing water heater.
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.
Diego was assigned to repair what I thought was a blown fuse. It turns out it was a major malfunction and could have caused a fire. He showed me the melted device and said the owners prior to us must have used an electrician who cut corners with installation. Diego was very helpful with his thorough explanations and was efficient and clean. I highly recommend his work and that of Divine in general.
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.
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!

Terrific service and very professional. They were here on time and did a courteous and professional job
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.
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.
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

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!
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!

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 :)

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.
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.

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!
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!

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!
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.
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.

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!

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.
on time and not even a smidgen late! i like promptness of those employees in the trades!
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!

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.
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.

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 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.
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.
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
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!

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 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

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.

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.
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!

Divine replaced our breaker box and replaced all our old outlets and switches. We could not be happier with their work. Sammy, Paul, and Jeffrey were absolute professionals, and worked around us as we worked from home.
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.

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!
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!
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.
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!
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.

Chris was very courteous, knowledgeable, complete, in his evaluation of my plumbing issues. He climbed under the house to fully evaluate the situation, took photos to show the problem and he was thorough in his explanation of my options. I appreciated his experience and opinion.
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.
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.
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.

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!

My water heater died, and Jeff Marsalla came out that very morning and provided everything I would want in an estimate. He was incredibly thorough, explaining all my options, and ultimately helped decide on a path forward. I cannot recommend him and Divine Electric and Plumbing highly enough.
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.

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!
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.
I reached out to Divine Electric to asses an outlet in my kitchen. I was able to easily schedule my appointment. My appointment ended up not working out and had to be rescheduled for the following day which was easy to do as well. Jae was the technician who ended up servicing my appointment. Jae was communicative with when he was set to arrive and able to asses the outlet along with additional quotes for other projects that I asked for. I was provided multiple project options with clear summaries and different price points.
Had a malfunctioning light switch that needed replacement. Chris was was on time, courteous and efficient.

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.
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.

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
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!
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!!
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
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.

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.

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!

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
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.
I haven't written a review in sometime but felt compelled to after using Divine Electric to install a gas powered generator at our home in Marin. With all of the PG&E power outages
we were thinking of getting a backup generator for our home. Divine Electric came highly recommended by our neighbor who used them to install their generator! From the first call they were polite and professional. Their bids were honest and straightforward.
The two electricians that installed the generator Chris and Eric were very helpful in teaching us how to use the generator in the case of a power outage. We are very pleased with Divine electric and will refer all of our friends and neighbors their way!!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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!
Paul Kelly did a great job trouble shooting a loss of power in one circuit in my house. He brought in a second colleague Juan to help trace the problem more efficiently. Problem was traced to a loose connection in one particular wall switch within the circuit. He was thorough and explained everything to me. Would definitely use Divine electric again.
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!

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 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!

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.
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).
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.
We needed a new water heater. Alex was great, super knowledgeable, transparent, and cost effective. Thank you
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!
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!

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!
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.

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 !

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.
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

Second time using Divine and they delivered again. Plumber was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Top notch service. It's truly a please to work with them!
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!
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+++.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 !!!!

Great service. Each time I have used them I have been very happy with the technicians.
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.

I used Divine to replace a broken bathroom vent. They were very responsive and quick to come out an evaluate the job. The technicians (Felix and Kevin) were wonderful--great at explaining what was going on, went out to get parts due to an unexpected problem, and left everything clean and tidy after completing the work! New bathroom vents installed, quiet and functional!
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.

Chris R and his crew did a fantastic job! He planned the work thoroughly before starting which resulted in a better design and a superior result!

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!

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!

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!
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.
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.

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.
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.
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!

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.

I am very happy with the work from Divine Electric. They installed recess lighting in all my bedrooms and it looks fabulous. Plus, Chris and Edgar were very professional, knowledgeable, and nice. They explained all the steps to me. Thank you!
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.
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!

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.
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!
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!
Divine Electric just finished a fairly big electrical project at our house. Paul and James came by to install a new sub panel and wiring for a new induction cooktop in the kitchen. The sub panel is beautiful and better than the last one we had; the wiring and circuits are much better organized. Paul explained everything to me and obtained the permit that was needed. They left the premises spick and span.
I've used Divine on a few other project before, and I will continue to use them again. They are reliable, professional and do great work.

Masked. Clean. Early!
Did everything they were supposed to. First visit was to troubleshoot some lighting problems. They gave us several options for fixing our problems.
Second time was to install new LED in the garage.
All went great. Super friendly. And everything works now.
AAA+++
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.

Divine was responsive and professional getting us quotes and appreciated Sam's help with our options and quoting. We had Paul and James install our Tesla Wall connector and hardwired the new connection in our garage. They were very helpful throughout the install, running decisions by us and explaining the process as they completed the work. Once everything was set up, Paul gave us a great walkthrough of how to operate the charging station and some helpful tips.
We were very happy with the experience and their staff. Without a doubt, I would recommend this team for your Tesla-certified install.
Big thank you to the Divine Team!
I had a visit from Rob today at Divine Electric. He was a few minutes early, ready to roll at the time of our appointment.
He did a great job. Communicated clearly and easily. Gave us an estimate and did the work on h spot. Now I am considering him for a few more jobs. He was easy to work with, considerate and I had the sense I was working with a well-oiled machine. Divine clearly deserves its strong reputation here in Marin. I have seen nothing but good recc's for them locally. It's great to see a company that lives up to its reputation. They deliver on their promise, and Rob is an ace!
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+
Several sets of lights and outlets were out since the power outage on Sunday, so we contacted Divine to have them take a look at it (they had also done a great job on installing a whole new sub-panel and breakers a few years ago). As usual, they responded right away, and then scheduled a visit from Paul Kelly. Paul showed up on time, and proceeded to spend several hours troubleshooting what was causing our problem. After painstaking research, he was able to locate the issue (a rogue wire in one of our outlets) and resolve it. Lights and outlets are back! He also fixed some issues that we didn't even call about, so we're extremely happy! Thanks Divine and Paul!
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.

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.
I started just needing an outdoor light fixture changed, but have had an issue with a dozen outlets in the house not being grounded and have not had success finding anyone willing to do the work because it's pretty hard and a maze under my house.
I initially met with Sam, who scoped out the project and then as we got to talking I shared by other issues and he was able to get me a good deal on just fixing all my issues and insisted I add a dedicated circuit to my home office where I have a ton of computers and equipment.
Less than a week later the installation crew came out, Chris ,Luis, and Josh and worked all day getting half of the project done, the following week it was finished up with Christian and Josh. Everyone was super professional and friendly. Even our 20 year old cat was at peace around them as they worked, he is normally a scaredy cat who would hide, so it confirmed that they vibe was good.
When they were done I was given some coupons and a warranty of service. They cleaned up everything and left the place looking great. The joy of having a house of grounded outlets is cathartic after all these years putting up with it. I would recommend them to others and plan to engage them again for some future projects I have.

Divine electric has never let me down. I've used them four or five times now in two homes and every job has worked out well. I've used Nathan the last two times and he's been excellent. Not only does he do great work, he is happy to answer all my dumb questions about electrical stuff around the house.

We have been working with Divine Electric for 5.5 years. They've redone our entire electrical panel, grounded outlets, installed outlets, etc. We called them out today because our sons room was not getting full power, the outlets were causing things to go up and down in power, etc. Just weird little things happening. Anyways Joe A. comes out and spends about 1.5 hours trouble shooting, discussing possibilities, trying things, calls a few people to brainstorm, just very thorough and open about his theories, which my husband and I really appreciated. He was kind and considerate of us and our home and the small room we were working in. He solved the mystery (my husband and I are idiots), put everything back together and left the room as he found it. I highly recommend Divine Electric for anything you need and if Joe is your guy, I'm sure you will appreciate him!!

Well we had an immense job in our old house! Fried wire coming in from the pole, pg and e had to be there, worried our house was going to catch on fire and literally no energy for 3weeks. And no small electrical outfit could even take it on. From start to finish Divine Electric did it all and took the weight of worry off our shoulders! Rob, Paul, Felix,Jake, all on our team, responsive helpful! They helped us fix up an energy situation so we could at least have something, They interactive wil pg&e, never a pleasant prospect, took care of permiting, left everything tidy and clean at the end of each day, and were friendly and easy to work with, always a huge bonus. One of the guys said that Divine electric was the best place he'd ever worked. That's important to us! And the price was much more then fair! Always the bottom line with electricians.

I made an inquiry online and got a quick call back, which was great. But, the big positive that needs to be noted is the work that Paul Kelly did on our project. He was helpful, polite, patient, and did the job we requested in a timely and professional manor. I have some reservations about the high cost of project as a whole, but that isn't something that Paul has any control over. Paul was great, and if we have DE come back for another project, we would certainly request Paul again.

Everyone I spoke with from Divine was friendly. Process to schedule appointment was a bit more complicated than most, but they did a good job leading me through it. The electrician was knowledgable and took the time to explain the problem and the various options to me. The company is unapologetic about upselling and 5-star reviews - but based on my experience, they earned the top rating.
I continue to be so impressed with Divine Electric's quality of service. From the initial meeting to scope out the project, to the installation which took place today with Paul, they're hands down the most professional, thorough, positive, clean and kind electrician's I've ever worked with. I won't use anyone else - they've got themselves a customer for life!
Paul Kelly, Luis and Eric came to our new home and installed ceiling fans, new outlets and our Ring. They were extremely efficient, friendly and careful. We had a great experience with them and appreciated their attention to detail and making sure everything was safe for our kids. Will use them again in the future!

Sammi and the team did a great job installing an outlet for our electric vehicle charging station. They've been really responsive, helpful and professional throughout the whole process. Even when a small issue came up the owner came up within an hour on a saturday to fix it which was beyond what I was expecting. Love that they're a local company too. Highly recommend them for any electrical work you plan on doing !
I've had a hard time finding a responsive and reliable electrician over the last 10 years. Divine Electric was fantastic - they called me back, let me know their process, and kept me well informed about their ETA. The electrician who came looked at our problem, knew exactly what to do, took care of it efficiently, and charged less than what I expected. Plus he was fun to talk to! Thank you Joe for your great service.
Highly recommend. Our techs Chris and Alex arrived on time, were polite, and super professional. They explained what was going to happen and communicate the entire job. They not only completed the work ahead of time and did a great job but they also spotted a problem with our wiring not related to their job and fixed it, free of charge! We are going to use Divine again -- 100%!
The folks at Divine Electric were patient and understanding when I had to reschedule our appointment literally four times. Jacob, our technician, was courteous and efficient. He also saved me some money potentially by suggesting a cost-saving way to fix a smaller problem. Thank you!

I had a Tesla wall charger installed. Divine electric sent Rob out for the job. He was fantastic. To be honest, I was a bit concerned they would not have the correct equipment needed, after some miscommunication over the phone with several people in the office. But Rob was an absolute pro and was ready to rock. He explained all my choices thoroughly, quoted each option, and flawlessly and professionally completed the installation. He was friendly and courteous. He was also very Tesla knowledgeable and timely. I expected it to take several hours and to lose electricity. It took less time than expected and I never lost electricity. Highly recommend for all your Tesla needs.

These guys are the best. Jae, the technician, was the greatest. Even recommended that we not do some work we thought we needed! Would give them 6 stars if I could.
I called Divine Electric initially because they are Diamond Certified. Joseph was able to figure out what was causing a very worrisome arcing issue in one of our home circuits. He not only fixed it but took the time to help us understand what caused it in the first place and what we could do to keep it from happening again. He was professional, courteous, on time, respectful, and great to work with! We have additional work scheduled with Divine based on his thorough (and helpful) evaluation and we look forward to working with him and Divine! Highly recommend! Thanks!
The whole Divine Electric crew and experience was great! They responded quickly to my initial request, provided a quote right after doing the walk through and were even able to schedule the job for the next week to accommodate an urgent need. The work was one big job (running electricity to a new office shed in the backyard) and a few smaller jobs in the house (installing and replacing fixtures, plugs, dimmers, etc). The crew on site (Diego, Carlos and Rigo) were extremely professional and had a very high attention to detail. The project manger provided great communication on progress and issues and minimized disruption from power shut offs. They completed the job on time and within a budget except for one additional request I had (with they didn't even charge full price for). All the work completed was extremely well done. They were a little bit pricier than some of the other quotes I had but they were definitely worth it in terms of the quality and speed of the job. I will definitely use them again!
I am very pleased with Divine Electric. Rob Markey provided amazing service today and a few weeks ago. Among other things, Rob repaired/replaced several outlet that had stopped working, replaced old dimmer switches, and installed LED recessed ceiling lights. Rob was prompt, courteous, and efficient. He provided estimates for the work requested clearly and in advance. He wore a mask and observed all pandemic safety protocols. Rob was knowledgeable yet explained all our electrical issues to me in layman's terms. On top of everything else, Rob was very patient with our house full of remote learners, work-from-home adults, and pets. Thanks!
Called Divine Electric and they were here the next day and helped me out. Jaime and Carlos were amazing.
We had a wonderful experience with Divine. Sam was our friendly estimator and he gave us 4 separate pricing options when we were looking to install a charger for our new EV. We actually passed on them initially in favor of another contractor who we thought would be cheaper but it turns out they were almost $800.00 more expensive than Divine.
Once we found this out we went back to Sam and with his ever present good cheer he booked us on their schedule AND threw in an extra benefit that he'd quoted us $150.00 for before.
Though we were expecting a 3 week wait we got a call 2 days later saying somebody else had cancelled and Divine would squeeze us in the next day.
The install was effortless even though the electricians had to deal with a nasty crawl space and a packed panel.
All in all a very very positive experience from a company that leaves nothing to chance.
Our homeowners insurance required us to update our knob and tube wiring for more modern (and safer) wiring. I was going to hire a different electric company, but that company flaked. Divine Electric was incredibly responsive and provided us with a very detailed quote - and they were able to work within my time restraints. Paul, Ryan, and the team spent a week at my house and did a great job. We also got a new circuit breaker box and some other additional electrical work done. Our house is much safer and I appreciate how friendly and reliable everyone was. Thank you and we will definitely call you for additional plumbing and electrical needs!
Beware of crazy high prices here. They quoted us $6k for a job another licensed, insured, top rated electrician did for $2k. I looked at the guy totally bewildered when he gave me the quote, and I immediately quoted two other electricians, who each came in at the lower price with no negotiating.
Chris and Felix did a great job over the two days it took to rewire all my panels and made sure I was happy with everything. They checked if I had any other issues and fixed an old light which we thought was maybe beyond repair. Great work and thanks!
I am very happy I chose Divine Electric for my problem.
The electrician arrived on time, as promised. He gave me complete options and charged a very fair price for installing a new, much better sensor light on my home. Now I won't have to worry about being unsafe when I return home late.
I will be sure to hire them again for any electrical issues I may have.

Recently I had to replace our old water heater. I needed a permit and then a city inspection once the work was completed. I wanted to attach a recirculating pump but the water heater closet did not have an electrical outlet. Since I knew that the inspector sees all types of projects, I asked him which electrical company he thought did the best job. Without hesitation he said Divine Electric. He told me that he never had to fail Divine work (unlike some others he would not mention).
I called Divine and Dylan set up an appointment for us. Jeff came out to the house and looked the situation over. I also had a few other little electrical issues that I wanted to him see about. Jeff was fast, efficient and very professional. Since our home was built many years ago the job was not straightforward and presented some difficulties. Jeff always had multiple approaches to solve the problems. If one way didn't work, he found an effective alternative solution. He did his work in an easy and friendly manner and it was a pleasure to work with him.
Joseph called about 5 minutes prior to his arrival to give us a head's up. He was prompt, courteous, and got to work right away. Our new kitchen lighting looks great. I would highly recommend Divine Electric!
We've been a customer for 9-10 years and always ping Divine Electric first for electrical needs. (Possibly plumbing, too, in the future!). Sam did a great job scoping the job, and then Chris, Eric, and Diego did an excellent job with the project. (They installed a new circuit breaker and wiring/conduit for an electric car charger, with some tricky ins and outs to have it snake from the panel to wrap around our carport and get to where the car is parked). We'll definitely be calling this team again!
Paul came out early this morning to help us fix our fridge outlet. He was super friendly, super knowledgeable and fixed it without any issues. He then hung out for about 20 minutes to ensure that it didn't turn off again and explained to me how to check the breakers, and how to avoid overloading the outlets. Bonus - our dog loved him and he was really kind and fun to chat with! Overall 10/10 service and will definitely be recommending Divine, and Paul to friends and family.

I had Divine come out to upgrade our main panel and install a sub panel in our backyard. Jae was prompt with his estimate, great with following up and addressed the change order with ease. Chris and Erick came to install and made the process SO easy. They were on time, efficient, and labeled everything. PG&E and the town inspector had no problems with their work and signed off on everything during the first inspection. The inspector even noted how he appreciated the labels and the neatness. I appreciated how they were focused on completing the job in a timely manner and providing excellent customer service. Great crew! I will definitely use them again.
Scheduling was great and Matt made sure he co ordinated with me as I was returning from a trip to make sure that the electrician would not be delayed.
Jay arrived on time and did all the work that was requested. Jay made sure there was nothing else related that would need to be resolved before he left

Chris and Eric did a great job. We had several tasks including setting up a EV charger, adding a new outlet and installing lights. They were prompt, took the time to go through each item before they started work and left the area spotless. They kept us updated throughout the day and checked with us to make sure we were happy with the work. We couldn't be happier with the result. I would highly recommend Divine!

Professional and through in suggesting a complete electrical update to accomidate all the modern needs and safety codes. Complicated job , resulting in being able to power an EV car. Thank-you Divine Electric and especially Paul Kelly.
I highly recommend Paul Kelly. He was able to identify an electrical issue that another electrician couldn't diagnose on the first visit. He is always very thorough, detail-oriented and explains the technical issues and solutions available in layman's terms. He is an exceptional electrician who really cares about the quality of his work.
Louise, Paul and Ross did a great job on my electrical panel upgrade in my house going from 100 to 200 amps, getting ready for solar + adding an EV charging outlet. Clean install and they found some random unsafe wires in the attic of my house that they fixed properly at no charge - thank you for doing the job properly. Most companies would have just left that alone. Would hire them again
I used Devine Plumbing to fix a broken faucet and examine a sink disposal. They got back to me promptly and assigned Alex V. to help fix the problem. Alex was punctual, knowledgeable, and very friendly. After ordering the parts needed, he made a second trip and made the proper installation and everything looks great! Clean and works perfectly. I highly recommend Devine and Alex in particular. Happy Holidays!
This is my first time using Divine E&P. I met with Jeff yesterday (a Tuesday) to go over a project in my home involving plumbing and electrical work. Jeff came as scheduled and we spent a constructive 2+ hours going over the specs and details for the one job and we also discussed how to improve hot water delivery to the primary bath. Jeff was a total professional: knowledgeable and a good communicator who listened and weighed input from me. Jeff did about 10 minutes of processing time away from me and then presented me with a concise and well-organized charting of the options for both projects with accompanying estimates. His use of a large tablet screen device lent excellent visual aide. And here's the STANDOUT thing to be noted: throughout the 2+ hours spent in consultation with Jeff I never felt any degree of hard sell or flimflam coming at me. I was 100% comfortably engaged in the process. Upshot: I signed on for one of the original project options before Jeff left. One day later I now have two 8am appointments scheduled with Divine E&P plumbing and electrical technicians for next Monday and Tuesday. That process was a breeze. So, at this point my experience using Divine E&P has been superb. The consult with Jeff was entirely productive and the scheduling for tech service most efficiently handled. Now I look forward to writing a follow-up review on the technical service experience after the work is completed. At this juncture in the customer experience Divine E&P is a standout business operation!
I don't usually write reviews but felt compelled to with our pleasant experiences with Divine Electric - they exceeded our expectations and beyond! Nathan was our service person, and we were super happy with his level of professionalism, amount of knowledge and passion with electricals, as well as his can-do attitude. He was also very detail-oriented and thorough with everything, from the work prep setup, labeling to the post-work clean-up. Being our first house, we didn't know much about electrical, and Nathan was super informative and explained everything very clearly.
Upon entering, Nathan explained clearly the procedures and precautions he and the overall company takes. We very much appreciated the constant sanitizing and changing out gloves, so things don't get cross-contaminated. Overall we feel reassured knowing the steps they take to ensure everyone's safety. In addition to the items on our list as we walked through them, he also pointed out where improvements could be needed to ensure better safety and protection. (It is an old house, after all!) He presented various solutions and the prices and left the final decisions totally up to us. The quality of his works is superb, and we appreciated his sense of humor through it all. I highly highly recommend Divine Electric and ask for Nathan!
Divine is excellent. Great service and great technicians. We had them come out 3 times (our fault due to incompatible fixtures we supplied) and each time we were very impressed with how competent, professional, and service-oriented each of the technicians was. I will definitely use Divine for any future electrician needs at my home.
These guys are gold! Paul and Bobby installed patio string lights for us, which in and of itself sounds like it should be easy, but I quickly realized I needed the help of the pros. We needed power run, wires hidden, switch boxes installed, lights that were actually SAFE for all weather, and cleanly installed. If I had tried to do this myself I would have had extension cords running everywhere and who knows how much excess lighting would be sitting off to one side. My yard looks amazing with these lights!!! The ambience makes such a difference, and the ease of use is perfect. Paul and Bobby were very kind, respectful and super skilled. The whole experience from quoting to completion was excellent.

Helped with several projects. They weren't the cheapest but they were thorough, super friendly, and super cautious during COVID.
Paul Kelly was very helpful in discovering the reason turning on my microwave every eighth time was blowing the fuse ( circuit was overloaded, he went through and marked each kitchen outlet so when I turned on the microwave I was supposed to avoid plugging another appliance into any of the outlets on that side of the kitchen.) I had noticed that one of the fuses in my fuse box looked different from the others. He confirmed that that fuse had cracked and needed to be replaced. He was very careful to explain and show to me everything he was doing in a way I could follow. I would highly recommend him as an electrician.

Divine provided a great service. They solved my outlet issue and explained the whys and hows along the way. Nathan was friendly and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to not only clean up the space he was working in, but even beyond. For example, he leveled my mini-fridge and volunteered to recycle some boxes for me. First class service all the way around.
We recently relocated to the area, and consider ourselves lucky to have found Paul at Divine Electric. He partnered with us to make sure our home was as safe as possible for our curious toddler, and showed us some cool options to improve switch placement in our older home. His knowledge and kindness made working with Paul a breeze. There is no doubt we will turn to him for any electrical work needed in our home in the future.
My electrical panel was arcing in the middle of the night and I lost power to half of my kitchen as a result. I was calling everywhere and got no responses until I called Devine electric. They came out the same day to help me. Paul K. was so kind and helpful. Paul really went above and beyond and I appreciate it so much. He is coming out to fix up some electrical issues I have. I feel so lucky to have someone looking out for me and my kids.
Poor experience. I paid $500 to permit a 240V, and when the permitting process hit a snag, Divine Electric stopped returning my calls. The technician, Luis, who installed the outlet was great, but everything following was a pain. I wouldn't recommend this company for EV charging stations.
I hired Devine Electric and Plumbing to carry out a challenging electrical project in my home. I had obtained three proposals and chose Devine because of my interaction with their project estimator, Nathan. He was friendly, professional, and very patient in explaining each step of the project in layman's terms. The proposed fee was also fair and reasonable.
The electrician who came out to do the work, Joseph, did an excellent job in every way. When finished, he went over everything in detail, and fully explained just what I needed to know.
All in all, my experience with Devine has been superb, and I would highly recommend them for any electrical project.
Gary
Jae from Divine Electric was all around awesome. He helped to install a ChargePoint charger in our garage and got it up and running in no time. He even found a way to hide the wires so that it looks super clean. We'll definitely be calling on Divine Electric for all of our electrical and plumbing needs in the future.
Today Chris and Luis arrived not just on time, but a little early! They worked the entire day on two big projects and finished them both! They were driving down my driveway at the end of a long, hard day and as I arrived home they turned around and came back to the house to give me a tutorial on the new system they had installed. They went above and beyond and I have already asked them to come back for another project!!!

Divine did a fantastic job running electrical to our storage shed and also installing a circuit for EV charging. They were very pleasant to work with and thoughtful about the installation - big shout out to Paul, Connor and Joseph for a job well done!!
So incredibly helpful!
Nathan Dupre called in advance to let me know exactly when he'd arrive. On time, in a mask, walked me thru the precautions he would be taking while working.
Oh, and the booties so nobody's tracking dirt etc. in! I felt completely at ease.
This guy is like Electrician Yoda.
He surveys, sees what needs to be done, explains what he's going to do, open to input, then executes.
Fast.
No issue too difficult, he knew how to address.
Super pleasant.
Everything was clean, operable and looked great when he left.

Divine Electric is a pleasure to work with!
Today was the first visit by Nathan. He spent a lot of time evaluating my current electrical system so he would know exactly how to proceed making repairs and recommendations. The repairs he did were great, done very promptly, and he did a great job cleaning up after. All the items he worked on were fixed the first time.
I am know looking forward to his next visit to make recommended additions and upgrades.
I will absolutely be using Divine Electric in the future!
This team is great - I've used Divine for two-ish projects over the last two years and they've done a solid job both times.
Good back office support/communication, on time for appointments, and good communication/presentation of options for projects. Would highly recommend.

We could not have had a better experience. We called Divine for several electrical anomalies in our home. Nathan was great, as soon as he introduced himself we were happy to have him in our home. Nathan let us know what he was doing every step of the way, and brought a real positivity and humor to our whole situation. He was able to fix the immediate problem as well as craweled in our attic, garage and under the house to track down our mysterious subpanal. As he inspected all the old wiring he noticed that our breaker panal was completely mislabled from the previous owners and took the time to accurately label them. We felt completely at ease with the work he reccomended and scheduled him to come back the following week. Our house is electrically sound, and we look forward to future projects with Nathan.

I am thrilled to have this electric company in my back pocket now. I will call Divine Electric NorCal without hesitation to fix any electrical problem. Thank you for being the electric company I've dreamed of. Best communication, knowledge, efficiency and friendliness.
Absolutely 100% the best company you can call for electrical services.
Divine was transparent with pricing, quick on getting the job done, each employee that was at my home was trustworthy, enjoyable, and well trained, and best of all- the pricing made sense.
We had a large job. By large I mean really large. This company got the owner involved and they gave me a flat price bid for this massive job.
My wife and I have a sense of security after they have left out home. Our wiring was in such bad shape. We cannot say enough great things about this company. Nelson was first to our home. He spent hours evaluating our home and updated us each step of the way. The crew that came behind him was professional, courteous, and trustworthy.
This company truly goes 100% above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. We have dealt with a handful of contractors and have never had this level of consistency in customer service.
Today out home is rewired 100% to 2020 code. There is no chance of fire risk because of the smart breakers they installed and all is well. If you want to have a comoany who truly invests in their employees to provide the absolute best service that anyone can provide- look no further. This is the epitome of perfection as far as contractors go.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DIVINE ELECTRIC
First off, Divine responded right away to my request for quote/work and they called exactly when they said that they would. If you've ever had to call on a plumber or contractor or handyman, you know that more than half the time, they either don't call back in a timely manner, or they simply ghost on you after speaking with them. Divine is clearly a professionally run operation.
The electrician they sent over, Paul was both on time and very professional. He took the time to diagnose the electrical issue we were having with our outlets and answer all my questions. He provided an appropriate resolution and even showed me how I could fix some of the issue in the future myself (since I am a bit of a DIY'er). Overall a very good experience. I can not recommend Divine Electric enough!

I work as a Property Manager and this is by far the best company that I have ever dealt with! Everyone was on top of it! My high-end clients needed a Tesla charger installed in their new home. I scheduled the appointment with Josie and Andrew--both were super friendly and communicative. Sam came out to give me an estimate just a few days after my initial call. He assisted with ordering the part and scheduled Joaquin and Bobby for the installation--both are highly skilled and knowledgeable on the product. They kept me informed the entire time and got the job done within a few hours.
Thank you, Divine Electric!
Nathan came to replace a faulty home charger unit for my Tesla. He called ahead, arrived on time, explained what he was going to do, gave me status checks, and completed the work on time and on budget. It is very reassuring to know I have an electrician I can totally rely on and trust.
Divine has done it again! Fantastic work! Luis did a great job replacing every light can in our kitchen. Great professional work and respectful of all Covid protocols. We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks to the whole team!

Divine is not Divine!!! There has to be something wrong when they can't answer two simple questions. 1 what brands do you carry and 2. what is the price range of the units! What are they afraid of?
While I appreciate that each installation is different and you certainly couldn't do a reasonable quote on the total job there is nothing to prevent them from telling you what the price range for the units and just the units are.
Seem like a shady business practice more worthy of a third hand used car dealer.
My advice steer clear of Divine.

Superb job from Divine Electric's Journeyman Electrician at our house today following power surges from a partially sliced PG&E power line to our house. Nathan arrived on time, was friendly, knowledgeable and promptly fixed all of our most pressing electrical issues. He also made thorough, well explained recommendations for the rest of the work to be performed. Highly recommended!
Nathan was totally awesome. came over for quote and to work on three projects, provided fair estimates and executed the work to perfection. followed COVID protocol, was upfront honest and clear about the job and expected costs. Would use Divine again for sure
Paul Kelly was fantastic to deal with in our home, even with our 6 month old and active puppy in action he was very efficient, thorough and a pleasure to have in our home pandemic and all with our fixtures now where they should be! Highly recommend Paul and the folks at Divine and while the cost might be more than some others, they make up for it in all the soft points that matter when having someone in your home. A+
Jae did an amazing job assessing all of the many repairs and improvements needed at my house. I was shocked to see such quick work piecing together an estimate right on the spot. For the amount of work needed I assumed I'd by waiting a week to hear back.
On top of that Jae was incredibly professional, courteous and conscientious.
Polite and professional but offered same day solutions to get my phone number but earliest appointment was 3 weeks out. Just say you are busy- don't waste my time.

Byran & Luis were respectful, thoughtful, thorough and on time! True professionals in terms of everyone I worked with at Divine. Rob came in and did an exhaustive analysis of what was mission critical vs. nice to have in regards to deferred work left over from the previous owner on our new home. They replaced an old high risk subpanel, replaced some ungrounded outlets, updated our main panel, put in a new grounding rod and surge protection and even gave our pup some pets along the way. Awesome work across the board and transparent/easy on price. Would definitely hire again!
Divine recently installed a new panel and quiet cool fan in my house. At every level the customer service was spot on. Paul and Luis worked with me to make sure that I understood each step of the install in the two days they worked at my house. Sam did a professional job of explaining to me all the steps and equipment necessary prior to the start of the job. And back at the office, Chris and Jason were clear about the pricing and helped to quickly solve a minor problem that arose. This is a pro company and I will definitely use them again.

Nathan was fast, efficient and didn't waste anyone's time. Finding an honest electrician is hard but I've definitely found one. Will happily use them again!
Divine Electric has done 3 big jobs for me over the past year at two locations. A backup whole house generator, and upgrading electrical panels in an Eichler home and as well as another residence. In all three instances they have performed great work, and yes I would use them again. There are three selling points for me: the jobs are fixed price bids; the electricians are some of the best I have worked with; and the office support is quick to keep things organized and correct any issues associated with the jobs. Divine estimators were electricians and were great in laying out my options fully so I could make an informed decision of what I would like to do. Every job had different electricians assigned to do the work, yet Divine's processes insure that information about the job is well documented allowing the electricians to fully brief themselves before getting to the job site. And the electricians go above and beyond the work when needed. Good tradespeople are in demand and Divine has done a wonderful job providing an environment to attract and train some of the best. Shout out to Joaquin, Joseph, Conner and Mike? (the plumber for gas lines) for the generator; Joseph and Diego for consolidating panels and overcoming challenges that popped up; Christian and Luis who were ingenious in their creativity to find solutions; and Chris for helping sort through the multiple jobs.

Working with Divine Electric was a wonderful experience. From quote, to scheduling to execution the entire team was knowledgeable and friendly. In particular our electrician Paul was OUTSTANDING. He did the job to the highest level, was clear and explained everything each step of the way. He truly went above and beyond. At first glance we thought the prices were a little high, but the exceptional service and care was well worth it.

I so wanted to like Divine Electric after seeing their friendly cyclists around the area for years. While they were responsive, persistent and helpful by phone, their pricing practices are inexplicably vague. Paying $250 for a simple light switch installation (when I supplied the switch) and $350 to upgrade the doorbell transformer leaves me scratching my head. Our homeowners policy told us they wouldn't approve more than the normal $80 for a faulty switch replacement. When I asked how the installation could cost that much, Devine's electrician said I put it in the program and that's the number I get out.
Hard to consider Devine for any significant projects if small jobs are priced by a black box without reasonable justification.

Did the work for agreed price.

First I am surprised by how many 5 stars this company has gotten.
My experience with them only rates less than 1 star.
First up they charge $85 to come out and give you an estimate.
Then the estimate they give you is more than double any other estimate you get.
I inquired about financing and the rep said he would have his office contact me. They never did. I guess that was a blessing.
I feel it's quite a racket to charge for an estimate you know is higher than anyone else's.
Yep, quite a racket I'd say.
Oh I'm sure they would do a great job if you are willing to pay through the nose. $$$$$
We needed to have some outdoor lights installed and some non functioning indoor outlets repaired. Paul Kelly from Divine came out and took care of the tasks quickly. We appreciated his professionalism and how he explained to us the different options available.

Installed Ev charger for my Tesla and they did a great job. Would recommend them to others.
Divine Electric answered my email within an hour and scheduled an electrician to fix a problem in the garage. I also needed a new outlet and circuit for a new freezer. Nathan showed up on time, reviewed the issues, provided me an estimate and completed the job within a couple of hours. The best part he was very conscientious about wearing a mask and gloves which was relief during this social distancing time.
I used Divine Electric last year to create a generator hook up and they did a great job that time as well.
We had a great experience with Divine. Chris R, Raul, Felix and Erick were not only exceptional installers but were in communication with us each step of the way. Our recessed lights make our home much brighter and look great. Additionally, their operations manager James W. helped make sure the job was 100% completed and really saw it through to the finish line. If you need electrical work done, Divine is who you want!
We just had yet another amazing experience with Divine Electric! After having them out to work on some small stuff, we decided that it was time to get a battery backup system installed so that we can have a little bit of power for the dreaded PSPS. Chris and Eric came over last week and installed a battery, transfer switch, and set us up with a couple of solar panels to top off the battery when we're using it. The system they designed and installed is awesome and easy to use, and they were just all around such great guys. They were both super professional, friendly, patient (as I fed two little kids and rushed off to an appointment in the middle of their installation). Once again, just a great experience--can't recommend Divine Electric highly enough!

I rarely leave reviews but I wanted to share how exceptional our service was. Our electrician, Nathan, was prompt and extremely thorough. With a newborn on the way we wanted to be sure our house is prepped, safe and ready to go for baby's arrival. Nathan eased our concerns by providing detailed explanations around each aspect of his inspection and now we can ensure that we will not be without generated power during fire season.
Bryan and Wenderson were amazing! We had several projects, installing NEST doorbell, canned lights in the hallway and bedroom and entrance. Divine is always on time, professional and worth every penny. Thanks again!
Miles was at our house all day today repairing fixtures. He was great and the entire Divine team was a pleasure to work with. Thanks.
Nathan was great. On time, very safe, tackled the long list of issues in record time. Helped solve problems with a silver bullet solution. Not only are they fixed now, he identified the root cause so they won't happen again. Happy customers!

We are preparing our house for sale, and needed some electrical updating in a timely manner. Divine was so easy to work with, and we have always been thrilled with the quality of professionals they send into our home. Today we had Jacob, who was so personable and respectful and knowledgeable about solving our problems. Five hours later and we had Multiple services completed. It was so easy, and everything was as expected.
Jay did an outstanding job today. Short in a plug outside my house caused my living room to go dark. At first appeared we'd need to run a new conduit but he kept at it and found the real cause which was an easy fix. He could have just stopped and charged me a lot but didn't. Great effort and service!!

Paul came out to help us troubleshoot a handful of electrical issues that have been on my honey-do list for a while. He spent all day working his way around the house and educating me about different types of outlets and bulbs and fixtures. He spent a lot of time explaining why things weren't working, described many different options to me, and suggested ways to future-proof my house against more issues (without laying on any upselling pressure). I particularly appreciated that he took great pains to be respectful of the fact that I have a tiny baby at home, did his best to be quiet, etc.
My wife and I recently bought an older house and wanted to make sure everything was in good working order so we looked for an electrician to asses the place. We feel very lucky to have found Divine Electric because they were very straightforward and honest throughout the entire process.
Nathan arrived right on time and lives just up the street from us for our initial assessment. He was very knowledgable and thorough and went through all of the issues he came across as well as pricing options. We set up an appointment for the work to be done a couple weeks later.
The work was supposed to take two days but there was a scheduling snafu so they had to do it all in one day. And they did! They had five guys out here at one point making sure everything was done properly. Joaquin, Jae, Bobby and Isaac were all very professional and polite. They even wore foot protectors when walking through the house so as not to track any dirt.
Overall we are very very happy with our experience with Divine Electric and we will be working with them again if we need more electric work done. Highly recommend.

I really appreciate Divine, they consistently exceed my expectations in every way: customer service, execution, innovation, clean-up, etc. They are the first call I make when I need electrical work. And for every project they send the same Electrican (Rob!) who is amazing and knows our property inside and out.
Top notch! Can't say enough about our recent projects with Divine Electric. They helped us with a number of electrical issues and upgrades from installing and rewiring overhead lights to replacing a sub panel and installing a charger for an EV. The whole experience was professional and pleasant. The technicians were on time, genuinely nice, and patient with all my questions. The project was completed on schedule and slightly under budget, and everything works like it should. I would recommend them if you want something done right by people who care about doing a good job!

We have had nonstop electrical problems in our house ever since another electrical company did a bunch of work for us. I got a referral to Divine Electric and decided to give them a try. We had a couple lights that didn't work that we really wanted to work. The last company that we were really unhappy with told us that unless we opened the walls there was no way to get them working. Nathan Dupre from Divine Electric came out and did some investigation work. He did not open any walls and was able to get the lights working. We were delighted. Yeah to Nathan Dupre and Yeah to Divine Electric. We will definitely use them again.
I've had a great transparent experience! They came in, wrote a quote that named all fixtures and fixes and locked in the price, and just worked down the list! They can't go over the price quote so even though it seems a bit pricey at first, they have to complete the fix regardless of the surprises they might find when they get in there. And ALL homes have surprises! Rather than a low quote with a guy who keeps nickle and diming you as the project progresses, pushing up the cost again and again, you just agree at the beginning, and get the heck out of the way! They always wore the footies to protect my house, without fail! Their boots NEVER touched my floor! And they were sweet with my kids and dog, even though they got in the way at least twice... I'm already working on my post-holiday list of fixes and upgrades and would highly recommend!
We couldn't be happier with Divine Electric & Plumbing. Our project ended up being much bigger than we initially anticipated, needing a new electric panel, before expanding into plumbing work to install a new water heater and re-piping our house. Every single person at Divine was wonderful to work with. They are responsive, helpful, and honestly they are genuinely happy every day they show up at your house (even when they have to go into scary crawl spaces or it is an atmospheric river outside). They were excellent with communication when PG&E didn't show up for our first appointment (which was the day of the atmospheric river), and did everything they could to get electric working while we waited to reschedule with PG&E. We interacted the most with Connor & Abraham and they were absolutely fabulous. In addition, Alex, Thomas & Sam were wonderful to work with. We can't thank them enough, and we know that everything was done thoroughly and the right way. We wouldn't hesitate to use them for any future plumbing or electric needs.
Divine Electric is reliable, professional, well organized and top notch. They are very CVOID conscientious (masks, gloves, bootees, disinfectant) and proactive in communicating & documenting their process for evaluation / bidding / work completion. They handled all portions of our complex job efficiently and effectively. I'm confident that I got high quality for a fair price. Nathan and Nelson worked hard and the end result was perfect. I was a first time customer who was 100% satisfied. I will be using Divine Electric again as a loyal customer.
Nathan D. Prepared a detailed quote for 9
Garden path lights. Even placed an order for the components. All ready to sign and go. Then, we completely went in a different direction and switched lighting styles. He quickly and efficiently got us Quote #2.
Easy fast. Super nice
5 stars for sure.

This is my first time doing a yelp review and I am doing so because I am quite satisfied with my recent experience hiring Divine Electric Norcal to install electric car charging and air conditioning wiring at my home.
Sam T came and provided the estimate. He took the time to carefully explain the options and costs. Sam conveyed knowledge and experience and was great.
Paul K and his assistant James did our project. They were on time, Professional, and friendly. I was impressed with Paul's skill and expertise in deciding how to do the work in a most aesthetic way. He treated my home with the respect of his own and was tidy as well. Kudos.
Divine Electric is relatively expensive but provides good value for the cost.
No reservations in my recommending them.
Jae did a great job replacing an outlet in my kitchen. Matt was good about staying in touch to keep this smaller job on the schedule. They were professional, warm, and courteous in every interaction.
Once again Divine's customer service was exceptional. I needed a follow up visit quickly, and between Matt in scheduling and Jay who came to my house, my very inconvenient problem was resolved within a couple of hours of my call. Matt was able to get Jay to my house quickly, and Jay put in the diagnostic effort to identify the root cause, go out for the necessary part to repair, make the repair, and then explain everything in detail for me. All of this while being focused on overall safety, including Covid precautions.
My sincere recommendation.
Expert installation of a new ceiling fixture by Nathan D. was perfect in every way! Nathan was personable yet efficient and focused. We also met Matthew A. 2 weeks prior when he evaluated the wiring and fixture...verdict: buy a new fixture you like and call us to install it. No service charge for his evaluation visit.
These folks know their stuff, are honest and are local. Highly recommended!

I hired Divine to install a level 2 ev charger in my garage, including a main panel upgrade from 100 to 200 amp service.
They were absolutely stellar for every step of the way.
Note that they charge $90 for the estimate, but it is applied to your balance if you choose them to do the work. I initially balked at the $90 since most other electricians seem to do estimates for free. But rest assured, they're not trying to take advantage of you. The estimate that I got was the most detailed of all the others that I sought. Many details were addressed in the estimate, and I was given 5 different solid options. The details in each option helped me build confidence that these guys knew my project well, and helped me visualize what was a true fair price. Although they were not the lowest bidder, they were fairly priced and definitely inspired the most confidence.
The installation day was well planned and expertly executed. They worked together really well with my special requests. I wanted to pre-paint the conduit before installation, so they dropped it off a week early to give me time for that. They helped me install a home energy monitor that I had purchased. And on the install day, when i indicated I didn't like the location they installed my charging unit, they dismantled it and reinstalled it 6 feet over graciously.
Everything was well tested, finished on schedule with excellent workmanship. some of the conduit runs high up the side of my house, and it was secured neatly so that it looks good with my trim and mounding.
i would definitely hire Divine again and again.
These guys are fabulous. Their
Work is clean and meticulous. They take their time explaining as the go check in to make sure if it's OK by me. I just couldn't be happier. They are honest, well priced, and the workmen I have met, so far Nathan, this time Joaquin and Luis, could not be nicer. Great guys!
It has been fun to work with Divine Electric and I highly recommend them. I just had all my old recessed lights re-placed and they look great!
I mean who would say having an electrical job done is fun but I will now.
way too pricey!!!! neighbors told me divine electric charged them an arm and a leg. then 5 other people said they were a rip off. so, i got out while i stll could!!!.

Paul from Divine did a superb job in installing several outdoor outlets so we can add festive string lighting to both of our decks. Paul was on-time, courteous and professional from beginning to end. We were a bit nervous to have our brand new stucco cut through but the end result of Paul's workmanship and installation was excellent.
Paul also installed several WiFi app controlled switches so we could control our lights while away. He successfully troubleshot an installation issue with ease and walked us through getting the lights set up on the app.
We will definitely call Divine Electric for all our future lighting needs and highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for a reliable electrical company in Marin Co.!
Highly recommend. Joseph and Luis did a great job with some electrical work we needed. They came out on time, were extremely nice and knowledgeable and the job was done perfectly.
Chris the electrician gave a 5 star performance. He was prompt and courteous. He explained the plan to solve my electric issue and followed through with ease. In addition, he moved my dryer for me without even being asked to do so! That's what I call customer service.
we had a terrific experience with both divine electric and divine plumbing. our job required both divisions and they handled it beautifully. from the scheduling to the completion of the work, it couldn't have gone more smoothly. the technicians were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful of our delicate cabinets and floor. i can recommend them highly.

I called Devine Electric, they sent Rob to my house to troubleshooted my dinning room light switch, he found the problem, and he able to take
care the problem in an hour! Rob was very professional and knowledgable, he cleaned up everywhere before he left , the whole experience was very smooth and enjoyable! Thanks Rob! Thank you
Divine Electric!
Wonderful response, very safety conscious and enjoyable to boot! Did a wonderful job on light installation and even went the extra mile to bring bulbs I missed! Pricey yes, but you get what you pay for, and when proper electric is so critical, it's worth it!

Terrific tech. Showed up with professional method surrounding Covid. They took their time to address the issues and were able to make the repair. I highly recommend. Easy to work with.
I called Jake this morning due to a problem with a Tesla Wall Connector. He sent Joseph who did a fantastic job on the install and was a total gentleman. He not only helped with the wall connector install but insured that I had the latest firmware update. I would recommend Divine Electric for all of your electrical needs. This is a first rate A+ company.
I had a great experience with Divine Electric. Nathan replaced an outdoor outlet & box and could not have been more lovely, courteous & professional! He was very thorough in checking all electric systems, clearly explaining the issue and price options for repair & upgrade, and since this visit was during Shelter-in-Place, he was very cautious, equipped with mask, sanitizer etc - all the protocols to make my family feel safe. I will definitely call Divine again for any electrical needs!

Paul Kelly has been to our house twice; once to install an EV outlet then to fix a circuit on our panel. He is helpful, knowledgeable and thorough. The office is also very professional and nice. I also appreciate that they are very Covid safe. They asked if everyone in the house is vaccinated so we could all have that information and they can keep us safe as well as their other clients.

Chris, Nathan, and the rest of the crew at Divine helped us install a transfer switch and inlet for our generator as well as replacing some shoddily installed old ceiling fans. The crew was very courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. All the work was clean and completed on-time. Divine arranged for the city permits and inspection and that all went well too. Everyone seemed very up to date on the latest technology and trends with storage, car chargers, and generators. I'm hoping to install a car charger in the future and would definitely use Divine again.
Jeff absolutely killed it on our project. A pro's pro, he knew his stuff from start to finish, helped me avoid an extra cost on the project and managed everything with a smile. Appreciate all his help and will use Divine again.
We had an overloaded electrical line, with some burning insulation on it. Rob Markey from Divine came out more quickly than we expected, fix the problem, offered a ton of great advice on the home electrical setup in general, was professional, friendly and an all-around nice person. Highly recommend.
Project manager Rob came out to look at a couple projects I needed help with. He was on time, had excellent communication, did not try to upsell me and was honest about alternative solutions. He quickly scheduled a follow up appointment once I accepted the estimate and Chris came out the next morning to finish the job. Chris, again, was on time, thoroughly explained everything he was going to do and gave me a walkthrough once he was done with the installation. I'll definitely use Divine Electric in the future if I need more electrical work done.

We needed like 4 different things done to our home. Divine sent Bobby, Felix & Mattover to add recessed lights to our living room, added a completely new electrical panel, & fixed our flickering lights plus a few small random things. The guys were amazing and quick! They promised it'd be done in 2 days and it was! I'd definitely go with company again.

Bobby did a great job installing a new chandelier and fixing various electrical issues. Thank you!
Javier, Connor and Luis were great. They were prompt, explained what they were doing, did good work, cleaned up after themselves and were polite and kind. What more could you ask for! They installed a whole house fan and vents. They kept us updated as to their progress and wore masks the whole time they were here. They gave us manuals and instructions on how to use the equipment and completed the job as planned. Great crew! Thanks!
Paul Kelly came out to troubleshoot a smoke alarm issue. One of the most professional, considerate and detail oriented people we have done business with.
Jae arrived at our house on time and got right to work to upgrade the lighting in our garage. I am delighted to be able to see what is inside our small chest freezer and what I am pulling out of the washer or dryer. He even took a few minutes and swept leaves out of the garage.
About a year ago, Divine installed a juice box for us. That's worked well for our EV.
I recently requested quotes from a number of electricians as I was looking to have a Tesla home charger installed. I had all the services come to the house to look and provide their feedback on what I needed. A few just quoted for the install and some quoted that my entire electrical service needed to be rewired. Divine came in, took a deep look and gave me not 1 quote, but 7 quotes on options that I might be interested in to correct some problems and make our home safe. I truly appreciated that.
Once we selected the appropriate quote, they then moved forward with the process. Within a week, they had acquired the equipment, got the permits from the county, had PG&E lined up as well as the inspectors. They started the work on the day we agreed upon and they were incredible. By the end of the day, PG&E was back to turn the power on and the inspectors were back to sign off. I cannot think of any installation we've ever had everything go so well.
The staff of Divine are incredible. From the technicians who were here to do the install, to the estimators to the office staff. On a scale on 1 to 10 they are definitely a 10.
They are definitely the electricians to choose if you need work done.

Divine Electric recently installed a Tesla charger on our property and they were fantastic! I can't say enough about the company and the tech, Paul K., who came out to install our unit. The company was organized, communicative and efficient. Paul was on time, very nice, patient with all my questions and informative. Divine exceeded my expectations by far and I would refer them to anyone looking for electrical work!

Excellent! Brian and both Luis' were punctual, professional and skilled with the given task. They respected the cover procedures and left the project area in a very clean condition. They were a great crew and work without any interruptions or delays. Definitely recommend them for any electrical task!
Jay was professional, highly knowledgeable, efficient, and delightful. He wore a mask, gloves, and shoe coverings. Highly recommend!!

Nathan has been our go-to electrician from Divine on a number of house projects we have underway these days. He done a fantastic job throughout. He clearly knows every code inside and out, and has guided us with sage suggestions and good humor.
Nathan arrived as scheduled and review a few options for me. He was informative, focused and dedicated to doing the great job that he did! My hot tub is up and running! Thanks Nathan!
This is the second time I have used Divine Electric and I could not have been more satisfied. They came back a couple days to be sure to finish every little thing and make sure nothing looked out of the ordinary. I appreciated the attention to detail and thought they put into installing everything and how it all looked. I would highly recommend them!
Divine Electric installed a Tesla charger for me here in Marin County.
Paul K did an overall awesome job. This was a tricky job that required conduit to run through the garage, and he did a great job. He completed the job quickly, efficiently and with high quality.
Wow! That about sums up how I feel about the work my tech, Jae just did for me. He was fast and efficient. He cleaned up every area he worked in which was refreshing as so many workmen don't. He spent a reasonable amount of time asking me questions to be sure he understood exactly what I wanted. He also explored several options for one situation which I really appreciated. I thought he was extremely professional and proficient. He wore a double mask the entire time along with gloves. He made it a point to stay a safe distance from me which I really appreciated during these crazy Covid times. I highly recommend this company and Jae. I would give them 10 stars if I could!

So the owner called me back after I posted my issue and was very straight with me and helpful. They set a firm appointment time, sent a capable technician out to the site, and (at the moment) appear to have fixed the problem. Based solely on the latter experience, I'm giving them 5 stars. (if the patch to my electrical issue re-appears, I'd obviously downgrade) However, the company addressed my customer management issues, which I appreciate. As of this moment, I'd call on them again.
This was the second time we've used Divine Electric and Jay was great to work with. He was thoughtful in diagnosing our electrical issues and compiled a list of solutions to fix our issues. They are always on time and act like complete professionals. We will be hiring them shortly to complete our projects!
Every time Divine Electric comes to my house I am beyond pleased with their work. Rob came out today to help with issues I'm having with the canned lighting in our home. He provided me with several different options to fix the issue, and then preformed the job expertly, and quickly! Rob was professional , and super safe during these Covid times! Highly recommend Rob and Divine Electric!
Our neighbors and we have used Divine for multiple projects - always professional and responsive! Jae was very conscientious and thorough. And priced competitively.... will always use them.
Very professional & friendly team....from those answering the phone, those who do quotes & the electricians doing the work. Jae & Luis did a great job replacing track lighting, ceiling fans & a new light fixture. They trouble-shooted when needed & were courteous & thorough. Not inexpensive, but definitely no doubt on the quality (& they guarantee their work).
Divine is excellent! Brian could not have been nicer. He was always mindful of looking after every detail of the service... Covid safety, courteous, helpful with explaining all parts of the operation. Taking care to protect room and cleaning up at finish. Replacing my old panel with a new one was very complex. He was assisted by Luis in the installation of the new panel. They worked together managing to get the larger new panel in place which was not easy!! Great work, expertly done, providing wonderful customer service throughout. The Divine company indeed is heavenly to deal with from start to finish. Everyone has been super professional excelling in customer service!

From start to finish Divine Electric provided wonderful service in every department. Nathan offered us many options for upgrading the electrical in our 1940s home. We never felt pressured or rushed and decided to have Divine Electric update all of our our existing electrical, refresh our panel and add external outlet boxes in the front and back of our home.
The technician team of Jay and Matthew are beyond excellent. PGE has just restored our power after four days of blackout and I work from home, so we were a little on edge the day work began. Jay and Matthew did everything possible to ensure the process went as smoothly as possible and could not have been more respectful of our space and time. Their work is immaculate and every detail is considered. We will undoubtedly choose Divine Electric for all future electrical work.
Thank you!
Divine Electric did some repair work on the exterior electric of our house and did a fixture inside too. They were GREAT communicators throughout. This is often my complaint but Divine was awesome and proactive with their communication. We were presented with a couple of options after the initial assessment, and it was nice to have some choice. Everything was completed that day! Our electritian, Nathan, was thorough and so nice too. It's been a week and it all works great! I would not hesitate to use them for a larger job.

We would definitely use Divine Electric again. Nathan was thorough, patient and an overall very professional. I highly recommend him! He helped us install a Tesla wall charger and helped us with the electrical needed for a fireplace insert.
Rob was outstanding. He fixed our outlets quickly, gave us a good rate and was open about what we needed fixed urgently versus what could wait. Would recommend him to anyone!
These guys are great. I had Nathan Dupre and Felix out to my house today to install a Tesla charger. They were very clear about the process, very respectful and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about everything they were doing. I cant say enough good things about them. Thank you very much for your help Nathan and Felix!

Sam did a great job with our electrical needs in the garage. He was meticulous, precise, communicated very well, polite and was on time! He serviced our needs very well. We will call Divine Electrical Norcal again and definitely ask for Sam again.
Thank you for the great service.
The Divine Electric Team lead by Paul Kelly, Lead Installer, just left my home and I am very impressed with the level of service from booking the appt, consultation with Sammy and todays install for the Tesla Wall Connector along with some adjustments to our electric panel done by Paul, Luis and Raul. (I hope I got all the names right!). Each guy on the team was so helpful, explained things to me and wore masks the whole time. We have a handful of other items they are coming back to complete inside our home on another day. I feel comfortable having this team inside my home - they are SO good and detailed with Covid safety protocols. I haven't seen another company be this attentive. They left the space in our side yard, crawl space and garage nice and clean too. All and all it was a great experience from start to finish! ....excited for them to do our interior projects too. Hands down a great company with a team that you can tell cares about doing a great job and like what they do! Very impressed!!

We ust had a transfer switch installed for a backup generator by Luis and Felix and they were truly awesome. Arrive on time, got the completed a few minutes before they said they would, and took the time to thoroughly check to make sure all the switches were working (I had mis-marked one that they quickly fixed) and make sure i knew how to use the generator. I would highly recommend Divine Electric and Luis and Felix!

Just had my first experience with Divine Electric and I couldn't be more impressed or satisfied with the outcome.
First off, I received a text from their dispatcher, informing me on my technician's timeline and ETA. This made it extremely easy for me to be able to plan when to leave work.
Nathan, my technician, arrived, introduced himself, gave me his card, and put on protective footies over his work boots before entering (which I really appreciated because it's rainy and muddy). He came in, went down Divine's work plan, told my what to expect, and quickly got to accessing the situation. He immediately identified the issue, fixed it on-site, and put everything back together.
Not only do I have power back to both of my bathrooms but I have cable again and will be able to watch the Superbowl this Sunday.
Thank you, Nathan, and Divine Electric, for a job well-done and excellent customer service.
I highly recommend Divine Electric Norcal.
Hired Divine to upgrade my electric panel and install a charger for the car. Jae, Bobby, and Edgar did a great job. They worked quickly and efficiently. Arrived on time. Finished the job ahead of schedule. Cleaned up after themselves.
Recommended.
Let me begin by saying that Divine Electric sets the standard of excellence! If I could give ten stars, I would! From the first phone call to the final goodbye we had nothing but top-notch service. My mother and I needed extensive electrical modifications in our condo. We started out by shopping around for quotes and left several messages with other companies to which we have yet to hear a reply. We were so pleasantly surprised by Linda's superior customer service and phone etiquette that we decided amongst ourselves that we were going to go with this company.
Linda informed us that Chris (the Manager) would be coming out the next day at a designated time to give us an estimate. He called before arriving and was punctual and very professional. He gave us the quote and offered us a two-, five- or ten-year guarantee on their services, and said it would be about two weeks before they could come out and do our project and that it would take two days to complete. Well the days he quoted happened to be the two days before my mother's total knee replacement surgery; we did not mind this at all, by the way, we were just happy to get the work done. We received a very professional voicemail shortly after he left from Linda, and she informed us that they were able to up our project to the very next day so it wouldn't be so close to Mom's surgery, and to call back if that was ok with us. I mean how considerate is that?! That in and of itself meant the world to me. We called back and spoke to Josie and received more exceptional customer service over the phone, but there's more.
The very next day, the crew arrived on time, dressed professionally in uniforms, and were ready to work. Chris actually came on site before any work was done and did a preliminary walkthrough of work projects to be completed by his crew, which included Jae, Darren, Igor and Bryan on the first day, then Jae and Bobby the next day. Chris would call periodically throughout the day to check on work progress and if there were any issues. We did have one issue, which was the lights that were installed in the kitchen were too yellow for my mother's liking, so we called the office, and this time Andrew answered the phone promptly and we received even more world class and professional service. Within minutes, Chris called Jae and the lights were changed to exactly what my mother wanted-literally minutes. But the entire crew were just incredible!
They had so much respect for our home by covering items or removing items that were in the way and replacing them after they were done. They wore covers over their shoes, so they didn't track dirt into our home. They cleaned up after themselves and even asked which restroom they could use, if necessary, during the day. They took their lunches and were back promptly. They didn't take any personal phone calls and they didn't have loud music blaring while they worked. They didn't goof off amongst themselves and their communication skills between office, dispatch, crew and management is astounding! The time frame of two days was spot on, there were no delays and every person that entered our home from team Divine Electric remained very nice, pleasant, and professional the entire time they were here. I have two dogs and one is a very energetic two-year-old puppy and they were even respectful and nice to my dogs-every single one of them!! Jae, by the way, is just amazing!!! He has a very pleasant and effervescent personality. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer many of our questions and was happy to go over how the new installments would work. He suggested pamphlets and other services to improve the electrical components in our home even more. I am so blown away by this company. I truly believe with every fiber of my being that more companies should follow the owner Darren's example and invest in customer service training. This is how it should be done. I have nothing but praise for this company and will gladly recommend them to anyone needing electrical services from now on. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And we will definitely be using your services again.
We have worked with Divine Electric for the last three years as we have slowly made upgrades to our original 1961 house. Everyone on the Divine team is respectful, super helpful, and has their own unique to Marin story. Divine is very flexible about working with their customers and addressing their own unique needs. For our most recent series of projects we have been working with Nathan who has been a pleasure to work with and talk to. He always calls to let us know his ETA at our home and has helped us figure out how best to tackle the electrical part of some larger ongoing projects at our house. You can't go wrong with Divine. They get the job done right!
So In the middle of my major home renovation, I decided to upgrade my two electricity panels. the guys at Divine Electric gave a good bid and did the job very very well. I would especially like to thank Nathan and the owner, Darin for their professionalism, courtesy and for being very respectful or our space. They were very mindful of the disruption this causes and having two little kids in the house and did everything to be as unintrusive as possible.
I will definitely use them again.
We couldn't be happier with the service divine electric provided. Sam, the project manager, came out initially to give us a quote. He was incredibly patient, thorough, professional and knowledgeable.
We were having our electrical box moved from our daughters room into our basement due to safety concerns - the process was seamless. Jae and Brian who came out to do the work were a pleasure to have in our home- hard working, friendly and clearly knew what the were doing. They went above and beyond to make sure that we felt secure with the work that was being done and explained what was happening every step of the way.
We're grateful to all of them for the wonderful
Work!
Our homeowner's association notified everyone on our street that our electrical panel boxes (two Sylvania panel boxes installed in 1977) were faulty and could potentially be dangerous. They recommended contacting Divine Electric to replace our panel boxes. Having had a good experience with Divine Electric in the past, we called them to do the work. It was a major job, required four full days (2 to 4 workers each day), as they also updated all of our outlets and light switches, and corrected a few minor violations. My wife was home during much of the work, and she said that Jason and his assistant Isaac were very professional, wearing booties in the house (it rained during much of their work). She said the house was a scary mess while they were working, but they cleaned it up at the end of each day. Once again, we're very happy with Divine Electric, and would highly recommend them.

The folks at Divine Electric were OUTSTANDING in all regards. Sam arrived promptly and provided a detailed, on-the-spot written estimate for our Tesla charger install. He listened to my requests and provided all the answers to my satisfaction. I signed electronically after a day and the work was scheduled for a week or so later. On the day of the install, Paul and James arrived promptly and walked me through the project. They were very thorough, taking the time to explain the process and making sure we were in agreement every step of the way. They showed me how to use the unit and answered all my questions. First rate all the way.
On a related note...Sam's initial visit for the free estimate left me with zero concerns about going with Divine Electric. And this was the fifth quote I received. Most of the others were just OK...but others still were very high (and included more expensive options that weren't needed). Sam took his time, explained everything clearly, and provided one of the best prices. Will definitely use Divine Electric for future projects.
Divine's customer service was impressive from the moment I placed the initial call to Nathan showing up in record time. He was thorough & professional. I highly recommend Divine.
Chris, Bobby, Edgar and Jay did a great job installing our Tesla wall connector. Excellent communication, knowledge and professionalism. We appreciate that they were able to complete the work the same day they provided the estimate.
Divine Electric installed two outlets in my condo, one on the deck and one in the interior hallway. Both Jay and Joseph were excellent representatives of their company-friendly, polite, and efficient. Jay explained all the available options clearly which made my decision-making easy and both he and Joseph did their work with a minimum of disruption. They also both wore masks the entire time they were in my hime, which I appreciated. My experience was very positive and I recommend Divine Electric highly.

Divine Electric is hands-down the best electrician I've ever dealt with. They have upfront pricing and an extremely professional team. We've completed 6 different jobs with them to this point, and they have all been completed successfully with no added charges or surprises. It's great to have a dependable team like Divine Electric to call for all our electric needs!

WOW what a great experience with Divine electric. Recently bought a BMW i3 EV, needed an 240v plug installed inside my garage so I can plug in the charging station. Shopped around all the biz around town and Darin was the only one that responded to my email and txt in a timely fashion, all others took at least a day or two to get back to me.
Since it is an easy job, I didn't ask Darin to come out and give me an in person estimate, instead I just took a pic of my panels and he was able to give me the cost to install the plug and I have to say the price is very very reasonable compare to others.
Came to the day of installation, although the person that does the install was almost 2 hours late (pervious job took longer than expected, totally understand) but once he (Paul) arrived, he was able to have the job done quickly. Paul was very nice, knowledgeable and friendly.
I will continue to use DEN, very satisfied with their quality of service.

5 star service for Divine Electric! Chris and Jason are amazingly helpful, knowledgeable, competent and professional. They came to our home, did a huge job, cleaned up their mess and got done quicker than expected. Also, it was raining out and they put on booties to cover their shoes everytime they came in.
We will definitely use Divine Electric again, especially if we can request Chris and Jason for the job.

Great company!! From the initial call to the final inspection our experience with Divine Electic was seamless and a pleasure. Sam gave us estimates that were both reasonable and sensible, recommending upgrades that made sense and would save us money in ways we hadn't considered. The electrician, Paul, and his team were amazingly professional, competent, efficient and pleasant to work with. They even helped me find a leak in my irrigation system while installing an EV charger! I can't say enough good things about D. E.

I'm considering upgrading to an electric vehicle, so I called Divine Electric to give me a quote for installing a Level 2 EV charger at my home. After scheduling an appointment, Sam arrived on time and walked me through the review and estimating process before getting started. After a thorough review of our electrical panel condition, he gave me an honest assessment along with several options for how to proceed (with pricing for each). While I haven't yet made a decision, Sam's professionalism and trade knowledge assured me that I'd called the right people. I very much look forward to working with Sam and his team once I decide which option to pursue.
I needed a new electrical panel installed quickly. After 3 calls to other electric companies, Divine was able to come out that day, assess the problem, schedule and complete the work.
Bryan, Jae and the team were highly professional, efficient and a joy to work with. The quality of their work and the materials they used was outstanding. I highly recommend them and they will be my first call next time around. Just fantastic!
Nathan quickly resolved a complex wiring problem caused by almost 70 years of construction, modifications, major modifications and at least one handyman.
He arrived on time, was neat and thorough.

Joseph and Joaquin were timely, respectful, professional and worked quickly. They took time to explain the work to be undertaken and options available. Divine Electrics were on the higher end of the quotes obtained but all in all, I am happy that I went with them and feel confident that if I had any issues down the line with the work undertaken, they would resolve without fuss.
Darin, Nathan and Linda at Divine Electric did an outstanding job upgrading the electrical system in my Larkspur home. Darin visited the house and provided a detailed quote the same day. Nathan then led the implementation of the electrical upgrades and kept me apprised of the progress at each step. Divine Electric handled all the required permitting with the town of Larkspur.
Darin was also very flexible during the implementation process when I made some changes to the electrical system specs. Everyone at Divine Electric was very responsive throughout the process. Linda was only a phone call or text message away and she always responded very promptly, as did Nathan and Darin.
The Divine team kept the entire schedule on track and completed the upgrades on schedule and on budget. I highly recommend Divine Electric for anyone seeking electrical work for their home.
Two great jobs by Divine. First they installed our EV charger two years ago. Now they've just completed installing a Generac whole-house generator. Terrific crews.
We recently bought a house, built in the 70's, which required quite a few upgrades to the original system. We wanted to add or upgrade the main panels, conditioners, rewire outlets, house-wide ethernet, get solar-ready, car chargers, as well as some fun smart home stuff.
Our experience started with a phone call to the main office, and the office staff were so great to deal with. The process began with a quick conversation to get an idea of the project-scope, which was then followed by a site-visit by Sam. Sam came out first thing on a Saturday morning, and even arrived early! Sam was very thorough, and in no rush. He explained things in human language, and took his time to thoroughly answers any questions we had. His analysis and recommendations were not pushy in any kind of way, and what was really cool with Divine Electric's estimate in the end, was that for each item, we had the option to choose solutions that fit different budgets, and could pick and choose what we wanted to proceed with in the end.
Joaquin lead the on-site work, together with Igor and Isaac. The work they did, in 90+ heat, was thorough, meticulously finished, and never felt rushed. They think things through, and come up with the best solutions for things, then take the time to do it right. Joaquin gave us regular updates, and we felt well informed, and at ease throughout the whole process.
Divine Electric is a high functioning business, where each person has a defined role, and take pride and have heart in what they do.
I will highly recommend them to anyone who asks.
Sam came out to my house to quote me on installing a nema 14-50 for my new Tesla. He was very professional and also recommended installing the plug in a perfect location. The price was a little higher than competitors but I like to support local companies and you get what you pay for. The install took about half a day with 2 of their technicians and did a great job! They made sure everything looked good before they left. I called them a couple days later to change something on the plug for me and they got to it right away and fixed the issue the next day. I'm glad I chose Devine Electric for the installation. They have amazing customer service and great technicians. If you want the job done right you know where to go.
**This review is for their quote process** This place actually wants to charge me for a quote. Who does business this way??? They really try to convince you that their prices are so good that it won't matter and if you end up hiring them then they will put the deposit amount toward the work to be done. The staffer, Andrew goes into full telemarketing mode when you question the quote process. He was even so bold to say that he knows the other companies incorporate that charge into their bids. While that might be correct, the difference is that I would still have a choice whether or not to give them my business. Having just moved to Marin this past year, this kind of nonsense could only go on here...lol. People so rich that they believe that crap. Well I'm a bit street smarter then the cougars living in town. NO THANKS!

They did a great job quoting and delivering a transfer panel for a generator to power the house. Looks like the desk of starship enterprise, but easy touse. There was one small hiccup on install (something we did not retest and power was but on one circuit because my panel is cramped) and they sent back the tech after hours to make sure I was 100% satisfied and powered up ! To me what you do when there is a glitch is almost better than what you do when all goes well. Very good, would recommend !

Jay was great and very attentive to safety precautions. He helped me understand all my options and explained everything clearly. Super fast and careful work and I'm happy with the results.
This review is long overdue. Divine Electric gave me, literally, the single best customer service experience of my life. From the moment the way the phone was answered (warm, professional, obviously well trained) to their response time (1 hour!) to their polite, knowledgeable electrician Nathan, who gave me a free inspection of my electrical system and numerous options to repair it (on an Ipad, no less), to his quick efficient repair of my immediate problem...it was a tour de force of customer service. Each and every touchpoint of the customer service experience was as good as it gets. The owners obviously have studied every part of the customer experience and made sure it is exceptional. Hats off to an incredible operation...I wouldn't think of ever going anywhere else for my electrical needs.
Just had my beautiful new hanging lamp installed by Rob Markey from Divine Electric. I am thrilled--it was a positive experience from start to finish. I had an afternoon appointment and they kept me informed as to when my technician was coming. He arrived and quickly assessed the situation and came equipped with everything he might need to get my lamp up and perfect and working. He was masked and friendly and respectful. He cleaned up all the bits of wire and even took the big cardboard box so I didn't have to deal with it. Really, a very good experience. Highly recommend.

They'll discuss 3 or 4 tiers for your job. Ultimately they're double the price of a certified electrician which is why they package it that way. They even sent their guys to LA to train on how to sell the packages (as explained by the owner). Don't make the same mistake I did - my biggest regret on our project was trusting them.
I would definitely recommend working with Divine Electric and Trevor. I had a job where the prior electrician never showed to finish the job. Divine heard the story, had Trevor out in a day.
Trevor, not only finished the job in the planned time but was able to do more. He was pleasant and thorough during the project review, completed the work correctly, communicated what was done and left the area spotless. The job was smooth and problem free. Thanks for the help and great job.

Great service by Trevor Rhaods from Divine Electric today. Called at 9.30 about electricity issues with our pool equipment. By 1.45 pm most of the broken equipment was replaced and the pool was up and running again.
I appreciated the methodical approach by first checking where the power started to wane and what could have caused it, before starting to remove and replace anything.
Overall a very professional experience.
Really friendly and considerate crew! Wore makes the whole time and put in extra effort to get two big jobs done in a day. Also accommodated some extra requests without complaint and did a great job. Can't recommend them enough.

Power went out at two outlets and to our refrigerator and stove around 9am. We called Divine and Brian, the electrician, happened to be in the neighborhood and came by within 30 min. He could not figure out the source problem so in addition to pulling the fridge and stove from the wall, he went into the crawl space in our ceiling. VERY determined. Ultimately he found it was a wiring issue behind the stove and fixed it quickly. He could not have been more friendly, he was incredibly professional and after using Divine for some BIG work last December and now for this one more minor issue, we will for sure use Divine again.

We received excellent service from Darin and his team three years ago when we first purchased our home. When a recent project required an electrician I didn't hesitate to contact Divine again.
Trevor came out and did an amazing job. He was timely, professional, and a pleasure to have in our home.
I look forward to having this team back out for future projects!

We just went through the rigamarole of finding a good electrician for some bigger upgrades and Divine Electric has been stellar: knowledgeable, timely and nothing but professional. It was so refreshing to feel like a company's priority. Jason and Bobby did a bang up job! And Josie and Andrew always handled our requests cheerfully.
Definitely going to be our go to for the little things to follow.

Sam and the team at Divine we're great. They helped add an outlet for an electric car charger, increase amps to our house and reconnect a steam shower. The speed and price was great. They were upfront and provided many options for price and what they could do in a clear manner. We couldn't be happier. Thanks!!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Chris and his team from Divine Electric!
I reached out to Divine Electric to install a new exterior main electric panel, replace exterior outlets, and add new outlets in our crawl space to power two sump pumps.
Chris arrived on time at my home for my estimation appointment. We discussed the scope of the project, reviewed where it would take place, as well as some additional work I wanted done as part of a separate phase.
Chris did all the estimation for both phases right there in my living room in under 20 minutes. He generated 7-8 custom estimates based on different features of the solutions and warranties. This was great because it enabled me to quickly decide which solutions fit my needs and budget for each phase. I worked with Divine Electric's front desk to pay for the work and schedule it. They also handled all permits and scheduled the necessary inspections with the city and PG&E.
Prior to the actual project date, I reached out to Chris numerous times with questions about the details of the work. He was always patient and friendly, answering my questions and providing outstanding customer service.
On the day of the job, Chris and his team - David and Isaac - arrived at my home ready to go. I was impressed on how quickly (yet meticulously) they moved through each portion of the work. A PG&E rep arrived half way through and even commented on the quality and speed of the team.
When they were close to completion, I realized that they weren't intending to stucco up where they had cut in. Chris and I realized there was a misunderstanding of what I believed the work to have included versus what he did/had estimated. Chris took responsibility for the confusion and made it right on the spot at no additional cost. I was really impressed by Chris's frank honestly and integrity regarding this, and his desire to ensure client satisfaction.
While Divine Electric was more expensive than other providers I spoke with, the ease in working with them, the quality of the work, and the fact they truly stand being behind it made it a no brainer for me that they're worth the premium. I would definitely recommend Divine Electric and will use them again (and soon!).
Chris made an inspection of our older home to let me know what needs to be done to bring everything up to code. He spent about 4 hours carefully assessing all three levels of the structure as well as the outside of the building. He took time to carefully explain the issues that he'd listed in his report and answered my questions in a way that was patient and caring.
Before they left for the day, he and his assistant, Josh, quickly took care of a number of things that needed attention for safety's sake and for which they had materials available in their truck. I felt that they were both highly competent technicians, and I felt they genuinely wanted to take care of my home.
Chris came out the other day to install my Sense monitor. He texted ahead and let me know he was on time. Before starting we discussed what needed to be done. Because of some wiring there was a hiccup but we talked and Chris came up with a good alternative.
All in all very happy. Also surprised and glad Chris had installed several Sense' before.

Divine Electric has some awesome electricians. They are courteous, punctual, and pay attention to detail. I had a somewhat complex project involving repairs and new installations, and they were able to troubleshoot all the little things that came up with ease. They were a joy to have in my home. I only wish I had called them two years ago when my light fixtures first started falling apart!

This was our second time working with Divine and first with Nathan. He clearly knew his stuff, and despite being paid by the job (not by the hour), spent a good amount of time answering questions on the how's and why's of the work he was going to do / each of his recommendations. He fixed our original two issues efficiently, and we decided to do some additional work we had been putting off since he assured us they could be done quickly (and delivered) and offered them at a fair price. No doubt we're going to call Divine / Nathan for any work we want done down the road. Highly recommend them!

I can't say enough about Divine Electric. From the initial contact to setting up the two appointments (first one to get a quote), calling to confirm appointments, calling when they were delayed, friendliness of the technician, cleaning up after the job, and the thoroughness of the technician. Divine is such a well-run company and very professional. The day my EV charger was to be installed, I got a call in the morning saying that the job before me will take a bit longer, so they will be delayed by a half-hour --that almost never happens--they anticipated the delay and were very considerate of my time to make a call and let me know. Then the tech, Connor, called right before my appointment to tell me he was on his way. Connor was very friendly, extremely efficient, and thorough. He even found an issue that wasn't in the job scope and fixed it!! That is above and beyond, and I wish I could give 10 stars! I highly recommend Divine!
Paul and the whole team from Divine Electric are phenomenal. Their focus on customer service, dedication to quality, and responsiveness is unparalleled. It was great to get a walk-through of the electrical system in our new house, and Paul did excellent work on a few projects we had lined up for the day, and somehow the work area was left cleaner and nicer than when he got there. We'll absolutely be working with Divine Electric again.

Had a problem where the circuit breaker tripped and half the house's power was out. Call these guys and within the hour, I had someone out taking care of the problem. Everything, from the first phone call, to the follow up and the experience in the house with Nathan, was fantastic! He was extremely professional, friendly, and made the process seamless. I would definitely recommend Nathan, and Divine Electric for any electrical needs.
I set up an appointment with Divine Electric to get an estimate to replace several kitchen light fixtures w/ new LED ones. I was quite shocked by the total $$ estimate (parts and labor), and opted not to move forward on the project with them. I subsequently got estimates from two other very well-reviewed home electrician firms that were less than half of what Divine quoted. We will be selecting one of them.
Divine has a well-deserved reputation for high quality service, but the project price they cited was cushioned with far too much margin.
After having a very disappointing experience with what had been our regular electricians, I took to Yelp to find someone else. Divine Electric seemed to have good ratings, so I decided to give them a shot.
Chris and Christian called when they were on their way, and showed up within minutes of their scheduled appointment time.
They quickly and efficiently replaced a faulty fire alarm bell, as well as installing a new doorbell transformer, door bell, and web-enabled door bell button.
Chris and Christian were very friendly and left their work areas just like they found them.
We will use them again.
I had a very pleasant experience with Divine Electric today. I am so happy with the work Nathan completed. He was very thorough in assessing what needed to be done and gave me several options with quotes and explanations. Then he called in to his office and cleared his schedule so he could do all my work today instead of waiting a month until they could get to my projects. He replaced 4 can ceiling lights with LED fixtures and added an outlet in my closet and fixed the transformer in a hanging light. So nice to have everything working and a much better light quality.
I highly recommend Divine and Nathan!

Divine installed a transfer switch at my house for use with the new Yeti generator. These are some of the finest contractors I have ever used. Everything from the initial consult with Nathan, to the transfer switch install, and the final hook up was fantastic. Incredibly impressed. You must hire them!
Todd S.
07/07/2020 12:00:00 SA
What a scam!! I called to have someone come out to give an estimate for replacing a circuit panel. The person with whom I spoke, said they would normally do a whole home evaluation and charge an $89 service fee. I declined the evaluation and insisted I just wanted someone to provide an estimate for two alternative options. They refused to do an estimate without charging the service fee. That is absurd, and not done by the local Marin and Sonoma county competitors. They've lost my potential business.

Our experience with Divine Electric was amazing from start to finish. Sam was our first man on the job. He was friendly, patient and very helpful, giving us advice and organizing the estimate.
Next we had Jay and Brian to do the job. Jay is an expert on kitchen lighting and with Brian, as his partner, the job was done excellently. All who came to our home were respectful, kind and willing to explain things to us. Finally, Darin, the owner, visited to meet us and check on the job. That's a nice touch. We will call them again!

They've come out to my property a few times to give quotes and this was the first major piece of work they completed. They updated two panels in the home as well as properly grounding the circuits in the house. Professional outfit from top to bottom, very punctual, clean and thorough work, and willing to walk me through all the changes and/or challenges which were uncovered. This house has very old and messily patched wiring from previous owners and they were able to get it all sorted out. Special shoutout to Paul Kelly for the outstanding work and for putting up with my questions.

Had Nathan on the job and project was done with cv-19 rules and precautions above and beyond all around. This is the second job we have used Divine and are always happy with their work.
We needed some overhead lighting installed and found Divine Electric here. They came out and did a quote and we scheduled the work.
Trevor from Divine came and did a great job. He was kind, attentive, careful, did great quality electrical work and the job was completed to the quoted price.
Prices were super reasonable, flat rate and as-agreed to.
I'd definitely recommend Divine Electric and will use them again in the future! Big thumbs up for Trevor who really made the process smooth and did great work.

Give them a call now! Best customer service I have ever experienced. They are diligent, caring, and responsive. Their office manager, Josie, has given me real-time updates on their technician availability to solve my problem quickly, with genuine care and concern. I hope all businesses would be this way.
I had Divine Electric come out and install a Tesla battery charger at my house. While they are out here I asked them to also put some lighting in the dark basement room that I'm going to use for a work station. They came out and gave me a prompt reasonable estimate on both jobs and the next day they did the work. Their work was immaculate. They were careful professional and very courteous. I would highly recommend them for that sort of work that they did for me.
I called Divine Electric because of their highly reviewed page on Yelp and I am so glad I did. I had to replace my circuit breaker for my hot tub and Divine Electric came out the very next day to inspect it (while I was at work) and came out the day after that to fix it. 10 minutes later, the hot tub was working. Divine Electric was absolutely fantastic and they will be my go to electricians from now on, especially because they are fellow Mill Valleyians!
Thank you again guys for being so prompt and helpful!

Great consult and recommendations, which Divine were willing to work with me on to get absolutely right for our needs, and then Mason and Bobby did a killer job with a sub-panel upgrade, main panel grounding and water system bonding and whole-house surge protection. They were fast, efficient and likable. I'll definitely be getting Divine in again. Thanks!
We were thrilled the service we received from Divine Electric. The team that installed our generator were professional, communicative, direct and kind. We truly had a wonderful experience with the installation and they were particularly careful regarding COVID precautions, as well as keeping our house clean by wearing shoe covers. Thank you for your excellent work and exceptional customer service.
Phil from Divine came out to my house and he went above and beyond to ensure the job got done right. I'm have a typical home in Marin county with some wonky electrical issues. Phil took the time needed to figure out and trouble shoot the issues. Compared to others in Marin, Divine is the best.

Divine Electric is an outstanding electrical contractor. Great service, fair estimates and excellent communication. Everyone I worked with at Divine was polite, intelligent and positive. The called 15 minutes before arrival, showed up as scheduled, worked clean and stayed late to finish the job. Top quality service from everyone I spoke to and worked with at Divine!
Chris R just completed almost an entire day at my house installing 2 outdoor outlets for Xmas lights, an indoor outlet for a new Dyson, fixed an odd placed switch by installing a remote switch to a more desirable location and connected a mystery light fixture to a functioning outlet. Wow!!!! I'm so impressed with his range of skills and his positive attitude, no request seemed too large, he worked through each task and I am so so so happy to have all this work done in one day. Chris exceeded my expectations for today! Chris and every electrician I have met through Devine Electric seem so happy and cheerful, they really seem to like the work and feel supported by their company. I would recommend Devine Electric to anyone for excellent electrical work!
I appreciate how quick they were to respond, how efficient adam was with his time and he resolved the problem. I appreciate how Adam educated me on safety and explained things to me.

Excellent service visit by Nathan. He was smart, conscientious, and efficient; and was very careful about following COVID-19 protocols. He was also very clear about pricing. I will use them again.
Great experience. Sam dropped by to give us an estimate and create a schedule for a variety of small to medium electric needs. Great recommendations on how to save some money. Super efficient and great follow up. Very easy to work with and would definitely use again.

I was just pleased able to get an electrician out on short notice for a few lights I needed installed. The woman I spoke to on the phone was a delight and Nathan turned out to be excellent, job was done beautifully, customer service was perfect and I ended up getting even more done than planned! Highly recommend. Feb 2019 update - Just had more work done by Divine Electric and equally happy with the excellent service. Chris was very efficient, professional and job was done very well!

Divine electric did a lot of electric work on the home that we just purchased. According to our inspection report there were quite a few issues that needed to be fixed and quickly. Paul met with me, walked through the home and reviewed the inspection report. He came up with three plans that would remedy the issues in the home. We went with the middle plan which addressed all of our immediate needs, and some of our wants. Paul and his team came back a separate day and completed the work in a day and a half. They were all friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and respectful of me and my home. Thank you! I'll be calling back when I'm ready to fix the final items.
Today Brian and Paul of Devine Electric did a wonderful job of installing four LED recessed lights in the ceiling of a small office. The attic space was hot and low. They arrived on time, were efficient, and took all Covid precautions. They made it look easy. When it comes time for the next electrical project, I will be contacting Devine Electric. This is my 3rd project with Devine.
If I could choose 10 stars for Divine Electric I would!
Hands down the best company for all electrical needs. Sam ran the show for us and he is the most responsive, easy to work with, high level of expertise electrician anyone could ever ask with. Having worked with countless electricians over my fifteen year career in architecture, I feel confident that you will appreciate their high level of customized experience, reasonable prices, and constant contact to make sure the project gets done quickly and any items are addressed early on so you know exactly what to expect. For this project we had Divine Electric rewire our entire house, including a new panel we put in whereby they coordinated directly with PG and E to get it done. They whole process lasted over a couple weeks and it was AAA star service the whole time all the way to the end. All of the technicians who came out as part of their team were very good at their jobs, highly reliable and always on time and available. I can't thank Sam enough for how much he helped us through a very very difficult renovation where we were absolutely devastated by a previous contractor who I would have rated far worse than a zero. I don't give out good reviews for subs easily as I have managed big crews and have found many who don't listen, and you have to chase them down for answers, but Divine Electric was the opposite and I they actually improved our project experience in a time when we had little left emotionally to deal with any project but now we get to move into a house with beautiful lights that work and I trust them so much that our family of five kids will be safe. Sam even came out for me last minute to make sure a live wire was fixed so my toddlers didn't get injured. That is personal white glove service if you ask me.

Our experience with Divine Electric was very good. Their two representatives (Sam T. for the estimate and Ivan for the actual work a few days later) were on time, very polite, willing to answer clearly any question I had, and were efficient and thorough with their respective tasks.
Would not hesitate to recommend Divine Electric, and will call on them again when necessary.

We had another excellent experience with Divine Electric, this time with Paul Kelly who installed a whole house surge protection system and made sure all our circuit breakers were functioning properly. He was prompt, professional, COVID-smart, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and friendly. We now feel super electrically safe. And we know who to call if we ever have any other electrical needs!
No need to look anywhere else for an electrician!!!!!!
I called 2 days ago and they were able to get me in the next day!! I had a big project that needed to be done and Phil by far exceeded my expectations!! He arrived on time, he was trust worthy, nice and ready to work!! He got the job done quickly and at an awesome price!! I will definitely use Divine Electric in the future!! Thanks Phil!!
A reliable electrician focused on customer service! Sami showed up right on time, and not only took care of all our needs but gave responsible advice on other possible needs we have without making a hard sell for more work. He was trustworthy, fast and got the job done perfectly. After years of having ad hoc electrical needs and never knowing where to look, I finally feel like I have 'my' electrician in Divine Electric.
Note - the company does ask for an $89 upfront payment which is then netted out against the bill. This may give one pause but the company is completely reliable and I'm sure this means they have less appointments where the customer isn't there, etc.
Once again, while I hope not to have a lot of electrical issues, I now feel comfortable knowing who I'll call if and when I do.
Great job by Miles Hart who was very knowledgeable and friendly. No pressure to add on work and he found the best and most economic solutions to my electrical problems. Can recommend highly.
Total pros, they did a great main panel upgrade and other electrical upgrades for our house that we just moved into. Jason and Joaquin worked hard for two days and got everything done to spec. Sam organized the scope of work and got the permits pulled with the county / PG&E. Thank you gents!
Paul Kelly went above and beyond with all of the work he did in our home. Not only did he do an incredible job with our many projects he was so friendly and flexible about timing and surprise issues. His professionalism made the whole process feel seamless. Do to COVID it was intimidating to have people in the house but Paul was super diligent about wearing a mask and sanitizing. We plan on using Divine Electric for all our future projects and electrical issues. These guys are the best.
Terrific experience with Divine Electric. Owner Darin was patient, available, and clear in answering our numerous questions about our proposed electrical panel upgrade, some added circuitry, and ultimately, the installation of a YETI battery as well. Rates were competitive with others, but the attitude and communication really stood out. Darin himself showed up the first morning to make sure the various tasks were all identified, and that we and his crew had a common understanding of the work to be undertaken. He takes personal responsibility for making sure clients are informed, and work will be completed to our satisfaction. Crew Joaquin and Felix were a pleasure to have around--not only very observant of COVID protocols, but efficient and considerate of the occupants and neighbors. Divine handled the permit with the Town and all inspections. All told, a smooth ride from our first inquiry through completion of the work. We recommend them without reservation. Thank you!
The electrician, Nathan, who came to fix the electrical problem was a total pro. He explained the Divine Electric's transparent and straight forward process, correctly diagnosed, and fixed the problem.
One time. Competent. Economical. I will certainly use again.

It was our first time Using Divine electric. Prior to our service, things like scheduling and courtesy over the phone were what we would hope for when contacting any business. On the day of our service, the service technician (Jon Hann) was wonderful... arrived right on time, was a good communicator, and was basically just a really nice guy with all of the electrical knowledge you could ever hope for. Jon answered all my questions and made himself available should I need to email any future questions. He truly made what is a sometimes stressful situation, dare I say it, kind of fun... I'll ask for him the next time I need an electrician.
Nathan installed an EV charger at my garage. He did a great job at a reasonable price.
In the process, he found that my main panel was not properly wired in some areas. He corrected the problems and labeled my all the circuit breakers. He also installed a surge protector at my main panel. From now on, I won't have to worry about damage to my electronics after lightning surge!
Edgar and Felix did an amazing job rewiring, installing, and fixing a lot of electrical problems in the house. They worked from 8am-5pm, a very long day, but did not stop until the job was done. They were very thorough and explained clearly what they were doing. Wonderful job guys!
I am very happy with the service provided by Divine Electric. They installed a stove hood, reconnected a socket and changes some of the wall switches. They made sure everything was functioning before leaving, the kept to the quotation and were very courteous. I feel very confident in their abilities.
Awesome! Such a great experience with these guys. Mason, Jason and Joaquin rocked. They added some additional outlets in the baby's room so we didn't have to run extension cords for wipe warmer and camera. Added fans to both bathrooms -- navigating the complexity of our 1960s construction in the process and added a dedicated circuit to our garage so I didn't have to wonder if I was overtaxing things with my power tools.
I've always been frustrated with outlet locations in our new house and was stoked to find out how easy they were to move + add new ones. Two thumbs up!
Nathan was amazing! He took the time to explain each part of our electrical panel and show us where the problem was. We apparently had some poor workmanship and he pointed out what should be done to correct it without being judgy toward the prior contractor. He fixed several things that we didn't know about without tacking more on to our bill. We will use them again, definitely. Also, he was on time, and fully geared in protective gear to keep everyone safe in this difficult time. He also took the time to greet our dogs and they loved him. Nice guy and very well versed in electrical issues as well as generators and batteries.
I had a long list of random electrical issues that I needed to get taken care of. Divine Electric had no problem figuring out each problem and coming up with a great solution and arranged for all of the work to be done in one session. Bobby did a fantastic job tackling everything on the list. He was meticulous, courteous and cleaned up after each project. I couldn't be happier.
My husband and I recently had a normal outlet in our garage replaced with a GFCI outlet to support the charging cable for our new plug-in hybrid. Because this would be at our own expense not our property management company's, we decided to call around to find the best service. I was greatly impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the first person I talked to at Divine, Andrew I believe his name was, who asked very thorough questions that other companies were not concerned with and worked to pair us with the most qualified technician for this particular job. The electrician they sent, Nathan, was very professional and friendly, and gave us a range of options for services. Nathan provided excellent, fast service in replacing the outlet and went above and beyond checking the breaker box to ensure that it could handle the draw of power from the charger. Overall I'm very satisfied with Divine Electric and would highly recommend them!
I was talking to my friend today who lives in the Larkspur area and she kept going on and on about this guy Paul who came to fix some light switches and ceiling globes in her home. She must have used a dozen different adjectives to describe this guy...knowledgeable, efficient, professional...you get my drift, right? Anyway, anyone who gets to be a topic of conversation during a quick chat and described like that is a person that deserves to be recognized by the world (yes I'm uber dramatic, but it's true)! So this is me, doing the world a favor...be grateful if you are lucky enough to have Paul as your Electrician during a visit from Divine Electric. A big shout out to Paul for taking care of my friend, keep up the GREAT work.

Great customer service, and install of a Yeti electrical backup system for the house. They handled permits with the city, and completed the install without a hitch. Edgar and Luis were the electricians who did the install, and they did an amazing job. Highly recommended.

Nathan recently repaired the electrical issues we were experiencing with the circuit to our pool equipment. Nathan quickly assessed and clearly explained the issues in an understandable manner, and then offered a few alternative service options with clear pricing. He arrived promptly at 8 am and had all of the issues repaired by Noon on the same day. Nathan provided me with a wealth of information and was courteous and pleasant to work with. The next time we have an electrical issue, I am going to call Divine and ask for Nathan.
I just moved into a new house in San Rafael with lots of updating to do. I've had Divine out twice, first with Phil and Bruno and Josh on the second visit and scheduled a third visit later this week. Divine is prompt, super pleasant to work with, priced fairly and full of great recommendations on how to achieve what I'm doing. These folks really are great and take pride in their work.

Recently had Rob out from Divine to add some new plugs and he kept up their record of outstanding service. Darin trains his people right! Rob was on-time, polite and friendly, provided great information and options, professionally answered all of my silly questions, did great work, and cleaned everything up afterwards. I love that he was able to provide an estimate and complete the work on the same day. While that can't always happen, it certainly made things easy from a scheduling perspective. We also discussed some other projects that we are in the process of scheduling with him. Thanks for the great service, Rob. We continue to use Divine for all of our electrical needs.
Once again Divine comes to the rescue! We bought a fancy German washing machine when our old one died not realizing we also needed to upgrade the power source to 240 volts! Machine arrived but we couldn't use it. Nathan from Divine came out the next day and upgraded our power source cleanly, efficiently and quickly. Thank you to Nathan for a superb job; machine is humming along now! We always feel safer in our house after Divine visits.

Divine Electric is THE best company to work with. We had a list that they worked off of always with the emphasis on wanting us to be satisfied. Great guys! Good company. So glad we found them. Chris has gone over and above to understand our needs and make things happen. Truly appreciate him and all the staff.

We are very happy with our service from Divine Electric. In our experience they have been professional, punctual, polite and always go above and beyond. We have used Divine for several needs and recently called to fix our charging station. Paul came early, was prepared with a replacement if needed, explained each step, and eventually replaced our unit. We are pleased with the service he provided for us! Thank you again Paul and Divine! We will always choose Devine electric for our electrical needs.
First class service and work from start to finish. Joaquin and the crew made the installation of a new panel + a Tesla charger a very easy process. Efficient, friendly and they do great work. You get what you pay for!!
We've been using Divine Electric for several years for a variety of jobs, large and small. They've always been responsive, reasonable and very professional from the office/scheduling to the high caliber electricians who have done the work. This week we lost power on one side of our kitchen and were worried about how to handle a fix during Covid-19. Rob came to our home, did what he could from the outside of the house, which involved replacing a fried circuit breaker. Because the problem was more involved, he then explained the safest/most sanitized approaches for doing any work in our home. We really appreciated the options he gave us and how flexible he was about next steps. Doing business with masks/gloves can be awkward, and Rob did a wonderful job of working with us to fix what he could in the moment with a plan for going forward that we are comfortable with.
After further discussion Darin extended a partial refund which I believe is fair.

Contacted them to fix a problem with a plug arcing and glad I did, as avoided a far more serious problem. Miles from Divine was punctual, knowledgeable and generally a real nice guy, and he did a great job in not only performing the work but providing options for others things to consider.
I am very pleased with the service from Divine Electric. I made an inquiry on their website and the next day Josie from the office followed up. Sam came to my house to make an assessment on the work I wanted and he was straight forward with me. Joaquin and Jason were the two technicians that did the work. They were very professional and genuinely nice guys. They installed can lights, a pendant light, new switches and upgraded our sub panel in two days. They were conscious about being organized and cleaning up after the job was done. I love my new lights and when I need an electrician again I will definitely call Divine.
I used Divine Electric based on recommendations from friends and neighbors who all received great service. The office staff is helpful as was the electrician (Sam) who came to my house. He was on time and answered all my questions. He quickly diagnosed the problem I was having with a bunch of outlets at my house and solved the problem by replacing three outlets. I recommend Divine Electric and recommend asking for Sam.

A neighbor recommended Divine Electric because we were having some weird electrical issues in our new house in San Rafael. Lights going out unexpectedly, circuit constantly breaking, and old switches that needed to be replaced bc we have a new baby! We found Nathan to be super responsive, communicative, and thorough in his estimate. We even had some follow-up work needed and Nathan came out same-day to assess the issue. I really like how he was able to explain the issue (in layman's terms) and took special care to make sure all of my items were pushed back in, plugged in, without a trace! Highly reco.

Very good experience. Sam worked on my outdoor lighting, most of which was not working. Sam came up with creative solutions that got me what I needed without spending a fortune to correct problems that I inherited when I bought the house.

We used Nathan from Divine Electric to do two jobs for us, and he went above and beyond on both of them. He was easy to communicate with, was attentive to details and really went above and beyond. We had two separate items that needed electrical work. We had spent a lot of money and time already getting other quotes prior to meeting with Nathan.
We needed new smoke alarms installed (ours were having false alarms and waking us up a few times a week, not to mention scaring our son). He laid out my options and was really clear with me about each option and what it would cost and entail. We also moved forward on replacing our faulty electrical panel, and he again laid out all my options, went over them all with me in detail, and we were able to make the best decision with them to get the best new panel for us and with the least amount of disruption as they were done by mid-afternoon.
I would highly recommend Divine and specifically Nathan if you are needing any electrical work whether big or small. Truly a very easy experience, thank you!
We had an EV Juice Box charger installed in our garage in November along with other extensive work to bring everything up to code. Paul handled it all really well. Unfortunately we needed the Juice Box replaced. Sam did a brilliant job not only replacing the non working charger but making sure that everything worked perfectly. Sam even handled reprogramming the app on my iPhone. Divine is lucky to have employees like this.
We had a great experience. We had a full day of repairs and changes to our electrical outlets and fuse-box and other things. Special shout-out to Jae, who did a great job leading his team, and to his awesome team, including Bryan, Matthew, Isaac, Bobby, and Luis. Great team! Professional, friendly, efficient. Jae did a great job explaining all the ins and outs of the new system to us. And they went the extra mile for us. It was a very positive experience. Thank you, guys!
Chris was on time, diagnosed my somewhat complex issue quickly and then had the parts already on the truck to install and get us back in business. I've used other Marin electricians before and everything from scheduling to dealing with the unprofessional staff left a sour taste, but Divine is exactly the kind of company that I'm glad to hire for any electricial need.
I highly recommend Devine Electric. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We had a semi-emergency and they sent out Miles to our house the very next morning. Miles is absolutely awesome. He gave us a very reasonable price and did everything humanly possible to get the job done for us. He worked tirelessly for hours climbing under and moving furniture, drilling through concrete, and running wires into difficult locations. I've never seen anyone work as hard as he did. He also did a great job patching and cleaning up. The workspace was left cleaner than before he started. Make sure you ask for Miles. Always choose Devine!

I've used Divine Electric twice in the past few months. The first time was to install a Level 2 charger for my new electric car. Sam and Josh got the job done quickly and efficiently. Have had no issues since.
The second job, completed a few days ago, was more extensive due to a tree that fell and took down power lines, cables, and pulled the wire housing off the side of my house. Again, Divine's team of David, Jason, and Ivan were at my house on time and completed the work very efficiently. They even coordinated the power shut off with PGE and the inspection from the town - something I would be loathe to do!
Would definitely recommend Divine to anyone for electrical work!!

I am so impressed with Divine Electric! They totally exceeded my expectation in every way. We live in an 1895 Victorian with quirky everything, including the electrical system. The electrician we hired previously did an assessment, told us the job was too hard and he left, so I wasn't sure what I'd find with Divine Electric. Jay arrived on time, was polite and professional, friendly, just an overall great guy. After thoroughly inspecting what needed to be done inside and outside, Jay wasn't daunted in the least! He explained the repairs that were necessary, installed some new outlet equipment, drafted a 2-stage proposal and immediately scheduled us for the next phase. How's that for customer service? And in the middle of our appointment we had a power outage. Jay remained unphased, called PG&G for us and kept us and our neighbors informed of the situation. After PG&G restored the power, Jay went right back to working on our repairs. Divine Electric is absolutely awesome!
Cannot say enough positive things about Divine Electric and Nathan Dupre in particular. I had Divine come out to check out some issues I was having with some of my fixtures and ended up doing a home inspection just to be safe. It was money extremely well spent. I was presented with several options to consider and did not feel pressured or sold to throughout. I have peace of mind knowing that my alarms will not go off in the middle of the night or need new batteries replaced, I know that my home is up to code and that this will enhance any home inspection that might occur when I sell my house in the years ahead. Nathan was awesome. Very consultative and respectful of my time. The office was wonderful as well. Highly recommend them!!
I've used Divine twice now, most recently with Chris today in order to address issues I had with flickering recessed lighting. He was incredibly informative, describing the problem and providing me with numerous different estimates for varying levels of work (including one that fit right in my budget). He also looked at a couple things I hadn't even asked about in my service request. Once I decided what I wanted to do, he finished the job quickly, neatly, and with significantly more integrity than certain other electricians in Marin. Highly recommended!
Always a fantastic experience! I have used Divine Electric in the past, and for my current project, I have been fortunate to work with Nathan, who always brings expertise, creativity and great customer service to whatever the undertaking is at hand. I highly recommend both Divine Electric and Nathan!
Have used Divine Electric for a couple of 'improvements' and have been very happy with the work. Most recently, Paul, Jason & Ivan worked on making some of my lighting smart. They patiently worked with me to make sure that I was as smart as the equipment :). They were thoughtful and expert in resolving a historical wiring issue; and, while it took a little time there was not a bump in our contract. Pleasant, professional, on-time, and clean. Can't ask for more.

Nathan Dupre and Steve came to install a Tesla Wall charger for me. They did an amazing job. They installed with no mess and so neat and clean and professional. They are the best electrician I have ever had. I totally recommend divine Electric and specially Nathan and Steve. They are amazing, nice and professionals. You won't regret it just give them a call and you'll see how nice they are and when they come to your house you'll see how professional they're.
The office called and updated me regularly to let me know when a technician could show up. Jeff was very efficient and thorough, clearly outlining what repairs needed to be completed and the various price options for each.
Jeff Wuest came out to fix a cover that had broken from a heater, light, and fan combo in our bathroom. The cover was 30 years old and hard to find something that would fit correctly. I had ordered a cover and Jeff was able to modify it and solved the problem. He saved me from having to buy a whole new unit. He was very professional and so helpful.

First Class. Paul and Edgar did a great job installing a transfer switch and generator at my home. We were a little unlucky and the transfer switch was faulty coming out of the box. Edgar came back with a new unit and installed it and made sure everything was working perfectly. At the end of the day, you can probably save 10-15% using a 1 man shop but in my opinion that's penny wise and pound foolish. When you hire these guys your paying for people showing up when they say they're going to show up. You're paying for people doing what they said they were going to do and standing behind their work with a real warranty. These guys work efficiently, are tidy and I can't imagine having a better experience. Using these guys for all things electric going forward.

Recently, I had cause to consult an electrician to replace a few light fixtures in my kitchen as well as fix a faulty dimmer switch and advise on installing a few more dimmer switches as well as a ceiling fan. Nathan Dupre from Divine Electric came out and provided excellent service. Not only did he fix and install what I needed, he provided a thorough investigation into my challenges and proposed several different options for how to solve them. He was a real joy to work with; knowledgeable, honest and professional. I highly recommend the company, but specifically, Nathan Dupre.
I'm not big into writing Yelp reviews, but Mason, Joaquia, and Ivan deserve it. They went above and beyond by doing all of my electrical work at a reasonable price (included a few things for free they didn't have to), were super efficient with time, and cleaned up well.
I would definitely hire them again.

Excellent service all around. It was difficult to find an electrician that answered their phones or called me back. But Divine Electric has someone actually manning their phones, they asked me about the electrical problem- a dining room fixture, and scheduled an appointment quickly. Paul, the electrical technician, was on time, polite, professional and very knowledgeable. He fixed the problem and got my light working quickly. The whole process was transparent and totally 5 stars! I will be using Divine for any future electrical issues.
This company charges you to give to a quote that is about three times higher than other electricians. Don't even bother.
I recently moved from Mill Valley to San Anselmo. I have an electric car and my new homes garage did not come equipped with the proper outlet etc. I see the cool Divine Electric van all over town so I gave them a ring and was immediately contacted by the owner, Darin. Darin struck me as a cordial and trustworthy guy who was willing and helpful in getting me some preliminary info.
He personally came out to my place and gave me a very competitive quote for the work. I contracted him to ultimately do the job and I'm very happy with the result. He was on time, did the job right and cleaned up afterwards. It was as if he had never even been there...aside from the fact that my electric car now has a nice place to recharge : ). These guys are great. Give them a try for sure.
Did not like the guy who came out to estimate. Very passive aggressive pressure sales tactics, he talked too much (kept apologizing for it, awkward), and was cursing like a pirate. Not very professional. Work also seemed like it would be sloppy, I don't think he knew what he was talking about for some things, like they would have underpowered my install compared to other estimates I got, probably to keep their estimate a little lower.
Nathan Dupre did an outstanding job installing our Nest doorbell. The wiring was 60 years old, so he had to so some upgrades. He figured it out quickly and expertly, and had the job done in no time. He was cheerful and confessed to loving all electrical gadgets and sang as he worked. Booking the appointment was easy and accurate, both the office and Nathan gave me multiple updates on his ETA, and accommodated my schedule perfectly. I will call Divine Electric again for any future needs. Thank you, Nathan, for good work!
We recently hired Divine Electric for some small electrical repair projects in our home. Nathan arrived on time and ready to get started. He first assessed each issue and provided pricing options for moving forward. With no pressure, it was up to us to decide which options to choose. Nathan completed the work efficiently and carefully the same day, and really went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with the results.
I highly recommend Divine Electric and Nathan if you need quality electrical work done around your home.

We had the worst designed ceiling fan ever. Nathan was able to diagnose and explain how to disassemble the fan to replace the light bulb. Great work and thank you!!!
If you are looking for a company that always upcharges and prices jobs at the worst case scenario, then this is the company for you. This company pays commissions to their employees to upcharge. They also price jobs at the highest rate. If you get an estimate check with other companies, they are not as competitive as one might think! Always best to shop!
I have really never had better customer service. We wanted to install a home an EV home charger to get the tax credit so I called them 5 days before the end of the year and they got it done! I changed my mind about which charger at the last minute and they didn't bat an eye. Friendly, polite, professional and great price. 10% off. You can phone, text, email, chat, answering service after hours. No reason to go anywhere else. They have my electrical business for good.
Divine Electric may not be the cheapest, but they do great work. Trevor came to my house and did a fantastic job of retrofitting our systems. He also took the time to educate us about our options and gave us a sensible list of options at different budgets. Highly recommended!
3rd time's the charm...
Our kitchen under-cabinet LED light strips were failing, so we decided to replace them. The installation had been done 5 years ago by a friend, so we opted this time to go with a well-reviewed local company, and Divine had fantastic reviews. We were a bit unhappy when we were told that an initial visit for an estimate would cost us $89, but we opted to continue since it would be applied to the cost of the job.
The electrician arrived at 1pm Friday as scheduled, and after looking at the job and discussing various add-ons he gave us 5 bids covering a range of prices, e.g. dimmers included, 2 vs 5 vs 10 year warranty. The presentation struck us as rehearsed, with a plastic card illustrating the steps to perform the work, and a lot of talk about their excellence and experience. The 5 options were presented most expensive to least expensive, and we opted for the least, with the standard 2-year warranty. It seemed that $1200 to install 3 4' lighting strips was expensive, but we decided to go with it for the guaranteed reliability and peace of mind.
The electrician was able to complete the work that afternoon. We were impressed that he could call his co-workers to deliver materials, so he could do the work and not need to spend time running after parts. We were very pleased with our new bright lights, until that evening the lights went out and the transformer was too hot to touch! Fearing a fire hazard, we called Divine with an emergency request to take care of this. The phone person assured us that he would put in an urgent message and we would hear back from them. We turned the circuit breaker off and waited for a call-back, which never came. The next morning, Saturday, we angrily called again and explained that we needed a fix right now. We were told that an urgent message would be dispatched, but again there was no response. Monday morning we received a call, and the office manager explained that they don't work or monitor phones on weekends. How in the world can a company that installs electrical circuits not have an emergency number?? When a fire occurs they'll finally see the necessity for this!
They sent a new electrician, different from the original one, and he was great. He diagnosed the problem, telling us that the lighting strips drew more power than their published specs and overloaded the transformer. How could they not know that before installing these strips?! He upgraded the transformer and then spent several hours mounting it in a better position than before. Now we could use the new lighting.
The next morning we turned the light on and the right half didn't work! Again we called Divine, and they sent the electrician out that afternoon. He was very chagrined and found that a connector was pulled loose during his installation the day before. He fixed it and gave us a complimentary warranty upgrade for our trouble. We just hope we don't have an urgent need to use the warranty on a weekend or evening.
In conclusion, we won't be using Divine for future jobs. We paid top dollar and didn't get top quality service.
I want to acknowledge a fantastic job by their field technician, Matthew Steinberg. Matthew worked for his dad who was an electrician for 40 years. Now he is with Divine Electric. DE is very lucky to have such a wonderful employee, and electrician. Matthew is professional, competent, hardworking, diligent, polite, clean and goes above and beyond. He is also a good communicator, explaining what he was doing and showing me what he did. His dad taught him well and should be very proud that his son has followed in his career. I have already scheduled my next job with DE and will of course ask for Matthew to return. I feel very lucky that a company like DE exists and that they have wonderful employees, starting with Sam, their company sales professional too. I will give 10 stars if I could.
Sam came to our house on a Saturday and gave us a proposal for quite a few electrical projects. He was incredibly knowledgable and easy to work with! This is the second quote he has given us, and we moved forward with the first quote. We're having the second round of work start tomorrow. I would definitely recommend Divine Electric! They are professional and know what they are doing!

Amazing service by Nathan Dupre today! I called this morning to have someone look at what appeared to be faulty wiring in my old house as I was afraid of a fire hazard. Nathan was there within a couple of hours and did a complete diagnostic on all the circuits until he found the faulty one and traced the loose connection through three floors of some pretty crazy original wiring going back decades. The cost was reasonable considering all the time and effort he put in to find the problem and I will happily call Divine any time I have an issue or to replace my old panel. Thank you Nathan!
Divine Electric was great! We had a hard time getting electricians to follow through on quotes, but Divine Electric had a quick response and completed the work in a timely manner. Trevor did a great job on the install and we give everyone a two thumbs up!
Edgar at Divine Electric did a wonderful job. He was thorough. Went up in the attic to make sure there was enough support for the fan he was installing. He was polite and professional. One of the lights installed as part of the track lighting would flicker. When I called, they came back immediately, replaced the lighting fixture and dimmer mechanism. They will be my go-to for any electrical work that I do in the future!

Thanks once again to Devine Electric! This is my sixth or seventh time using them, and I am always unbelievably happy with their work! This time I had Nathan Dupre as the electrician who came on site with almost no notice. He spent three hours diagnosing and fixing some things as well as setting up for a return visit. I couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you For the excellent service.

We had to install lighting in the middle of our living room which required drilling through the floor and installing light switches. They did a great job. Very thorough, clean and everything is operating properly a month later. We also had them install a chandelier and they were very quick. I would wholeheartedly recommend Divine!

What amazing service. Truly! We had a complex electrical problem in our home and hired a local electrician who worked for over an hour and couldn't even figure out why we had no light in 1/2 the house. Then someone recommended we call these guys. Trevor came over and voila...we have light again! He was very knowledgable and so nice! I would recommend him and Divine Electric without hesitation to anyone who needs an electrician!
Five stars is for perfection. This is what I received from Divine Electric. Customer service, politeness, professionalism, common sense, and respect. Starting with the communication at the office to Sam out for a quote. Sam walked me through the process and what I should expect to be done. I asked if I could assist in saving myself some money and Sam was very helpful. No hidden surprises or expenses. During our conversation he said, I think we can do this today. I was a little surprised and pleased. Jae showed up and it was on, he assessed the situation and simply made it work. simply, is a complete down play. Electricians are a breed apart. It is a tough and difficult job. The way they made me feel at ease and complete a very difficult task was impressive. I know this because I spent a few years working as an electrician apprentice back in the late eighties. Jae knew exactly what he was dealing with and made it look as easy as walking down the street. Bryan showed up to assist and worked on the other end. By the way, both respectful and polite, and made the entire job happen. I can't thank Devine Electric enough. It is refreshing to meet real people not looking to take advantage of us. As a side note... please request Jae for any of your electrical needs. I can't stress how impressed I was with him.
I've had the unfortunate experience of calling multiple electricians who never called me back. I loved that I could make an online request to Divine, they contacted me immediately, I got an appointment ASAP and working with Phil was such a joy. I had a number of challenging electrical problems with my parent's old house and he fixed everything PLUS they are so reasonably priced. Phil is a problem solver and a funny, good person who is a pleasure to have working on the house - you just trust he'll get the job done. HIGHLY recommend these guys.
Professional and expert. Joaquin and his assistant showed up on time and installed a heater/fan/light in my bathroom. Nathan provided the quote and answered my (many) questions leading up to the installation. I would hire them again!
Great business, on time and courteous .... Special thanks to Nathan Dupre for his work on a difficult project at my home, Much appreciated..highly recommended .....
Divine just completed a major electrical upgrade for our house. They were responsive and did a quality job.
There was a mis-hap that caused damage to our flooring. They owned up and gave me a credit back for the damage with no hassle. I appreciated that a lot.
I would definitely go with them again.
This team did a great job for us. Darren visited twice to help us get very clear about new lighting, a new bathroom fan, many new outlets, and Wi-Fi controlled light switches for remote security purposes. Nathan led the crew, and he was spot on: smart, considerate, and a good communicator. The results are great! We are happy campers.

First, Sam came out, scoped the job, gave me a price -- guarantees, etc. Very up-and-up. When the crew arrived (on time) to do the work, they (Jason and Isaac) went at it with a will. Great attitude, explained everything, got it all wrapped up solid and professional. Very happy I could get Divine intervention in my electrical needs.
We moved out to Mill Valley from the city a little over two years ago and had an accumulating list of work we needed to get done including changing out old subpanels, home-wide surge protection and lighting upgrades outside and inside. Darin (owner) came out and spent a generous amount of time with me looking at what was needed, the options to address and the costs. Never did I feel I was being pressured or sold on anything that I didn't want or wouldn't be useful. Darin was just easy and great to work with and we signed!
Paul and Bruno were the team that then began the work with Darin dropping by to check on things. In short, I couldn't have been happier with all of the work they did...from setting up (covering everything and being sure not to track all over the place if in and out), to asking questions as new options arose as they got into the actual work (location adjustments), to breaking down spotlessly. They were always professional and the work was superb!
Done on time, no surprises and at the costs we had planned for, everyone on the Divine team was a pleasure to deal with - including Linda, back the office. I would highly recommend them and we certainly plan on going back to them in the future with the rest of our punch list!

Chris from Divine Electric finished in a few hours the 3 projects we had been putting off for months! He replaced a broken ceiling fan, swapped out a bathroom exhaust fan for a new fan/ light combo, and installed a whole house fan. He did everything quickly and efficiently and cleaned up everything when he was done. On time, professional, and only billed for the work that was done. Highly recommend Chris and Divine Electric.
Nathan the technician was very knowledgeable of his craft. He was able to find the problem very quick. Great customer service and personality. A+ service.

Trevor did a great job on our under cabinet lighting, swapping out old and crusty fluorescent fixtures for LED lights that look just as soft and inviting. He was very polite and worked quickly to finish the job, and also gave us some advice on our skylight shades. Overall a great experience
Needed some lighting to make it safe. Trevor showed up ahead of schedule. He came in and estimated the job and then after our approval started immediately and was very efficient completing it, he was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him and divine Electric
An easy 5 stars for Nathan, who arrived on time (even texted once he'd set off to confirm his arrival time), was super polite, great with my kids and - most importantly - addressed my electrical problem quickly. He also gave detailed options for a new project I'm interested in and provided associated pricing for each option. Very professional guy - thank you Nathan!
This is my 2nd experience with Divine Electric. The first time was great - they installed a 220 outlet for my Tesla Charger. Simple and easy. This time I was having an intermittent outage problem in various places in my house. I called early friday morning and we scheduled for first thing monday morning. They called back late morning and said they could arrive by 1:00pm friday! This was great.
Trevor showed up and was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. After a bit of detective work in multiple panels, he found the problem. Unfortunately they didn't have the part so we had to reschedule for tuesday. Trevor showed up on time tuesday. Fixed the panel and every is all good.
Fast and polite Trevor was knowledgeable and very professional would absolutely recommend!
We couldn't be happier with the service from Norcal Divine Electric. Divine Electric was able to come to our rescue just 2 hours after I called them and Trevor fixed our electrical problem quickly. It is great to find a wonderful local electrician.

These guys are pros. Had a medium job to provide power to an out building. Divine Electric came and gave me a reasonable quote and when I called them to do the job, they provided a date within 7 days. They worked quickly and when they were done Trevor explained the installation and answered all my questions. Paul was the other electrician. Overall a very complete and professional job. I'd recommend these guys!

Called Divine Electric, they setup appointment, came on time, gave me an estimate for removal of old cable and phone lines throughout house as well as installing Compliant outlets for kitchen. Trevor came to do the work, was very courteous and quick. Work was done very well and I have no complaints. I'll definitely have them do my next project!!!

I had a great experience with Divine Electric's installation of my EV charger. They were the only company to physically come out and survey the site and give me options that would pass inspection. They were about $200 more than the other quotes (thus 4 stars instead of 5), but the ease of service was worth the extra cost. Andrew promptly contacted me when I first submitted an online request, Sam came out to see the site within just a few days and gave me five options to choose from for my install, and they got me scheduled for the work and permit inspection within a couple of weeks. They have EV wall chargers in stock, so I didn't even have to buy that separately. Andrew gave me a courtesy call the day before installation and Jay did as well before arriving on time. The work was completed within just a few hours and the city inspection couldn't have gone better. I'm very pleased with the outcome. I will definitely use Divine again for future electrical projects.
Trevor was excellent. He came in and out like a whirl wind of help. He fixed the issue with ease and grace. Thank you so much for making our day.

I can't believe how fortunate I was to have called Divine yesterday. Adam said they had someone finishing up in my area and 20 minutes later Trevor arrived. Trevor was friendly, professional and excelled at trouble shooting my broken outdated ceiling fixture problem and GFI issue. Everything was repaired and tidy. When I saw him wrap the new GFI outlet in teflon tape before attaching it I knew Divine's standards were very high.
Thank you Divine!
Disappointing. I am a landlord looking for service support in maintaining my property. They required the landlord to be present at their visit, and would not negotiate or budge on this issue. I have a full time job and respect my tenants, and would have appreciated the opportunity to use 21st century tools, like the telephone, to get past this issue. No chance. I'm not sure what this says about the rest of their business, but...what a shame.

Divine Electric should handle ALL of your electrical needs. They respond immediately to requests and are punctual. The project manager, Sam walked through my residence making product recommendations. Bobby and Jason completed the project which included some difficult wiring in a timely manner. What could have been a two day project was completed in one day. And did I mention that they were nice and like dogs?
One star for calling me back promptly. Negative 4 for charging $89 for a bid. You can get that money back if you end up using their services, but by then they have you over a barrel. No thanks, I'll go with a company eager to earn my business.
We had a great experience with Divine Electric! We were able to get an appointment within a day. Trevor Rhaods came out and did a great job. He was on time, super friendly, professional, fast, and cleaned up after the job was done! I definitely will call Divine Electric again for our future needs!
This review is based on my initial consultation, bid and first few hours of work. Though I'm fairly confident as the large job continues, my opinion will not change. To give you the run down, we purchased our home about a year ago and thought little about the electrical aside from general aesthetic as it's only about 16 years old. We thought LED would save on the electric bill, and how the previous owner's style really differed from ours and we might swap out some fixtures. But then we began to notice we were losing the battle with our electrical and discovered scorched wiring and panicked. We called and spoke to a young woman (so sorry I forgot her name) who was just wonderfully polite and patient and took down our notes to leave for Adam who would be scheduling our work. Adam called the next morning and found an opening in Trevor's schedule and we had him at our front door in maybe 30 minutes!! (I'm sure this was a special circumstance, but it was wonderful!)
Trevor was timely, tidy, friendly, and answered every odd question that came to our minds about even future jobs while he was here. He gave us his honest opinion about the jobs we may want to do in the future and how we could go about executing them. He also worked through his lunch to get on top of diagnosing the issue that had worried us. It was just a matter of updating the switches and lighting which we had already intended to do. He provided us with safe and effective temporary fixes to get us through the next month or so before he came back in after we had painted to complete the retrofit and modern switch upgrades. He also didn't just lump all LEDs into one category, we discussed lumens and the mood of the rooms and he told me where I could go to check that out and form my own opinion and style.
Admittedly, sure we could have got a competitive quote on the job to compare it to. But we were sold on Trevor, the price felt fair and was lower that what we had estimated. In the slightest chance someone else could have outbid him...in the long run, if you're going to have someone in every room of your house for several days...doesn't it just pay to have someone that feels like a good friend in there helping you out?!
We will update this at the end of this major job, to give you an idea, the previous owner/builder had a real thing for recessed lighting and it's a large home so we will be retrofitting something like 20 lights, and each darn light seems to have a switch of its own, maybe four outlets in every room and then they will be updating our electrician smoke and CO2 detectors.
We had been dreading calling an electrician in, and Trevor just lifted all that weight off our shoulders.
They came by almost immediately to hang a chandelier from my 14 foot ceiling. Chandelier didn't come with as much cord as I was promised but they were able to come up with a solution and install another box to provide the perfect hanging length.
Trevor was great, friendly, clean and fast. Pricing was fair for expert workmanship and that's what I wanted. You get what you pay for and you don't want to mess around when it comes to electricity.
I will be calling them again whenever I need electrical work.
I had a problem with my EV charger and the original manufacturer was of no help. Gave Divine Electric a call and they sent Chris who was able to determine the charger had not only failed but had taken a portion of my electrical box with it. Divine coordinated with PG&E and within days Chris was back out with Phil to fix my panel and replace my charging unit with a new JuiceBox Pro. They were great. On time, polite and had the job completed in exactly the time they estimated. Chris also helped me set up the wifi on the Juicebox to monitor the charger. Very happy with the work and the people from Divine.

Very satisfied! We had a number of small jobs, both in and outside the house and from the first call with Adam to the experience we had with Paul as our technician, we couldn't be happier! We got an appointment right away and Paul was able to fix our problems and install new lights and outlets quickly and efficiently. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We took a long time to order supplies between his visits (our fault) but he picked the work right back up again and did a fantastic job. We will definitely use Devine Electric again!
Great customer service, excellent work, nice trucks; What more can you ask for?
Phil was very professional, quick and reasonable with an estimate to add overhead cans to my old plaster ceiling and came back to do the work 2 days later. He was conscientious of keeping the area clean from his work (covered the furniture and swept up after), was respectful of my family and the lighting looks amazing. I would highly recommend Phil and the company to do any electrical work. He offered smart suggestions we hadn't thought about, but not pushy at all. 5 stars for sure!

I was very disappointed in Divine Electrical Norcal. Our problems were minor: a shower light plus several outdoor low voltage lights that stopped working, both things that shouldn't have been rocket science to diagnose or to fix. To give them their due, everyone I spoke with was very pleasant. When I talked to them about scheduling someone to come out, they first took a deposit, then let me know they couldn't schedule someone for almost a month. Since it was so minor, we decided that was OK. On that date, the electrician didn't arrive until mid-afternoon, and though very friendly, didn't seem to know what he was doing. After he looked around quite awhile, he said he would write up some options for us, which took a surprisingly long time. When he presented the options, one was for a $3K replacement for the outdoor lights, and the lowest estimate was hundreds of dollars. We were speechless. For the shower light, the cheapest diagnose and repair was about $200. That was the only option we chose. However, when he took the light fixture off, it broke (not entirely his fault - it was old), so we had to reschedule for him to bring and install a new fixture, bringing the total to $500+. And it turned out that the fixture he installed is a blue-ish LED, not a warm one, which gives off harsh, cold light (he had not consulted us about this in advance). So we did not have a happy experience.
Sam and Chris helped us with the installation of an electric vehicle charger and we were very pleased with the process from start to finish, and also with the results! They were professional, honest and efficient, and did high quality work. We won't hesitate to call them the next time we need an electrician!

I had a great experience with Divine Electric. They were very efficient and knowledgable. Paul was super nice and very helpful. I would recommend them, and use them again.
Great experience. Paul arrived promptly, listened to what work we wanted performed, asked questions to clarify our expectations, made recommendations to consider and provided a fair price. He set up a time to perform the work, did a walk through with us along with Jae the electrician who performed the work. Jae was extremely pleasant, professional and made certain we were happy with the work, and he cleaned up thoroughly. Nice to find Divine!

Nathan Dupre came to our house and solved a problem we had been trying to find for months. Turns out he had to crawl up into the attic and after searching every niche and cranny he was able to find an old nest of wires that were causing the problem.
We will definitely call Divine Electric again....that kind of perseverance and expertise is hard to find. Thank you....!!!

Outstanding, intelligent, proficient service!!!! If I could give 10 stars, I would. Nathan expertly and with great tenacity, diagnosed a difficult problem that had left me on my last nerve. Then he quickly fixed the problem and even cleaned up after himself. I couldn't have been happier and more grateful for his careful and efficient service!! I'm sold! I can heartily recommend Divine Electric-- And especially Nathan for his professionalism and expertise!!
The team at Divine was excellent. Started by getting a quick diagnosis and proposal from Sam that was fair and appropriate for the issue at hand. Scheduling was extremely fast and very courteous. And the on-site efforts of Mason and Issac were flawless and very professionally done. I would strongly recommend Divine Electric to everyone. Everyone that I talked to at Divine Electric were excellent!
Good company, very professional. Pricing is all up front and work is completed quickly and with a lot of care and attention to detail. My laundry list of projects was completed precisely to specifications. Also did not have to wait several weeks for an appraisal and then await a follow up date to actually begin work. I really appreciate their business model and professionalism. I will be calling again with my next projects/ repairs.
I had thought Divine Electric would be the go-to business for a panel upgrade given the great reviews on NextDoor. That said, I don't like to jump through too many hoops before I even get to meet with a contractor, no matter how popular he/she is. I think it's totally fair for Divine to charge $89 for an estimate that would go towards future work - time to travel to and meet with a potential client is money for a business owner. (I declined the $189 safety inspection because I moved into my house a year ago and have gone through the seller's and my buyer's home inspections with a fine-tooth comb.) I chafed a little bit when I was asked to give my credit card info to reserve an appointment - I have to make time on my end for these appointments as well, and take them seriously - and up to now have been happy to write a personal check at the time of the estimate. Anyhow, what really threw me was being asked not only if I was the decision maker in my home but also if my husband was going to be present for the estimate as well because sometimes things can be difficult for a layperson to understand. Whew! Having improved, bought and sold several houses and worked with many contractors (including extensive electrical work at my previous home), it was really insulting to be asked that. I really respect competent electrical work, but it isn't anywhere near rocket science. I wonder if they ask similar questions of male callers... methinks I'll take $5k of electrical work elsewhere.
I used Divine Electric recently to repair a bunch of lights in the bays of my auto repair shop. I was extremely pleased with the job they did. The electrician was prompt and responsive, he assessed what was needed, got the materials and got the job done. The best part was he was able to work around my crew that were all doing their job without disrupting the work flow in my shop. Highly recommended.
Endlessly thankful for Darin & his crews work. They've worked through complicated issues in a quick manner while offering creative solutions/ideas along the way.
Unfortunately our project required an electrician to arrive with very little notice and Divine Electric never let us down.
The dream team of Edgar and Paul K from Divine just installed my EV charger and added a couple of new light fixtures in my dimly lit garage. The process and customer experience from the initial quote to the installation was first rate. Divine provided several options for the installation at different price points. All communication about appointments was accurate and their people show up on time (actually just a bit early!) But what really stood out was the care and communication from Edgar and Paul on the day of the installation. My garage wall space is limited and we wanted to make sure the long charger cable wouldn't interfere with the garage door or take away shelving space. With some creative problem solving, they found the perfect solution. Before they left, they tested everything, showed me a few interesting things about the charger, and left my garage cleaner than they found it. I am now fast charging in a bright garage. Divine is Tesla certified and they are busy so I had to wait a few weeks. It was worth the wait which I managed with trickle charging. Thank you Edgar, Paul, and Divine.
Wow! Talk about responsive, knowledgeable, efficient, and pleasant! I highly recommend Divine Electric. Our car charger clearly had a problem. It was vibrating and heating the conduit attached to the unit. Gone unchecked we could have had a fire, let alone damaged the charging unit. When we realized we had a problem, we unplugged the unit and called Divine Electric the next morning at the suggestion of a friend who has used Divine in the past. I spoke to a friendly representative who explained how Divine works, took my pertinent information and had a scheduler call me to set an appointment for the following day as I was at work. Next day: Jon Hann called to confirm he was in route. A very professional person with a refreshing sense of humor, Jon quickly and carefully diagnosed the problem, explained the issues in clear language, and made the necessary fixes, adjustments and part changes. I showed him other projects we need addressed and he provided me with quotes and clear explanations using an iPad program that details the scope of the work, parts and warranty on service. He also emailed me said quotes. Very transparent and efficient. Thank you, Jon! I will sleep soundly knowing our car is charging safely and that you went the extra step to ensure the highest level of safety.
Chris was great in diagnosing a problem that had put our oven out of service just before Thanksgiving. Our stove seemed to have partial electricity - feeding the range, but not the oven. The stove repairman who had come the day before had concluded that it was a power supply issue NOT a stove issue. Josie at Divine Electric was great in putting us on a high priority list should there be an opening -- otherwise, we'd be waiting a few weeks. Fortunately - Chris was finishing another job early and Josie scheduled him to come to our house the day after I had called. He was able to solve a mystery as to the location of the circuit breaker -- and diagnose a damaged (and dangerous) 220v outlet that had not been properly installed. Access wasn't easy -- it involved moving the stove -- and crawling over a counter. He didn't let that stop him - he had the part in the truck - and replaced the outlet within an hour. My grandchildren will get homemade food for Thanksgiving after all! We have a list of other projects needing an electrician -- and we plan to move forward with those now that we've found Chris at Divine.
Divine Electric is a great Electrical Contractor. They use only the highest quality products, are reliable, and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone!

Divine Electric was recommended to us by one of our neighbors 3 years ago when we bought our old house that needed a good deal of electrical upgrading. Darin and his staff of electricians have consistently helped with small and mid-size projects and I have been pleased with the outcome every time. Darin responds to calls and does what he says he is going to do - which in my book is key to a great working relationship. I have dealt with a number of contractors and sub-contractors in the last 3 years and Divine Electric stands out as a company with integrity and honesty. I can highly recommend them.
Jae and Bryan, the two electrical technicians that performed the work at my home were excellent. They were knowledgeable, patient with a homeowner who had lots of questions, they were efficient, and respectful of my home and property.
I had an old electrical panel replaced, I had 4 old patio spotlights replaced with LED lights, I had 2 motion sensor LED lights installed, and I replaced old landscape lighting with new path and stairway lighting, and up lighting to accent trees.
All of the work was completed in a timely manner and I am very happy with the results.
The only issue that I have with company is the bid/contract process. The owner bids a job and I would much prefer to see parts/products and labor as separate line items. My job had been considered a 4-5 day project and it was completed in 2 days. I had no competitive bids as I had been referred to Divine Electric by another electrician whom I trusted.
The work, the attention to detail, and the final product were completed as expected and I would recommend this company to others. Just be mindful of the cost!

I am so grateful to Divine Electric for squeezing us into their schedule! We are in a new home and couldn't get power from most of our outlets. They sent Paul to help and he quickly fixed the problem. He also discovered and corrected several unsafe connections (thank you, Paul!) so we decided to have Divine look at all the connections in the house. Jason and his team (Isaac and Bobby) were so professional, personable and efficient in following up. They were very respectful of our home, my time, my questions and my old dog, who likes to be underfoot. It really was a pleasant experience having them work in our home. Divine provided five star service and I am so glad I found them!

Nice, efficient, competent and professional. Josie sent Nathan, a technician, over to the house in less than 24 hours even though it wasn't an emergency. Nathan had everything needed on his truck and when I expanded the scope of the job, his boss drove the additional items over within 30 mins. Very satisfied.
Divine Electric did a fantastic job making my house safe.
All the staff are courtious and friendly, they always call before coming to the house,
and always on time, thank you Divine Electric.
Great service, very professional, excellent quality. Nathan was awesome. Prompt, polite, called when he was on his way, knowledgable, competent, etc. Wonderful not to have to worry about work quality with something as important as electrical.
Quick response, thorough evaluation, professional. Would highly recommend without reservation. Nathan attended and addressed all concerns and issues.
The team at Divine Electric is excellent. Jason and Bryan, our installation specialists, were complete professionals and went above and beyond in their work today. A few issues came up during the install, and they resolved each of them with reassurance and a smile. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. We are home owners in San Anselmo, and take investments in our home very seriously. I couldn't be happier, and would gladly recommend Divine for any project!
Trevor just finished installing a ceiling fan in my home. The work done was decent, but towards the end of the installation he declared that the fan was defective. I came into the area where the installation was in progress and after a few minutes more tinkering with the remote control suddenly everything was working perfectly. I almost had him repackage the fan but instead I asked him a few questions and in the process of asking them he said he would try something else, which apparently worked. Small point perhaps, but I think he should have exhausted all options before declaring the fan defective.
The major complaint I have, and the reason I will not be using Divine electric again, is that the original estimate was nearly $400 more than the estimate given to me by another premium electric company, Mr Sparky. That amounts to being charged about 50% more than the other guys. Now they did agree to match the bid by Mr Sparky ($818), but I am now aware of exactly how expensive these guys are. For me, great service should be a given; the price is, therefore, the bottom line.
Next time I look for an electrician I will not even be calling these guys. If you want to pay an absurd cost for what they call premium service, be my guest.
They charge a fee for simply coming out to the site and giving you an estimate. I am a property manager and have dealt with many construction/maintenance projects on our sites. I have never been charged for an estimate so this was strange and to me, unacceptable. I have a rather big project (replacing 6 federal pacific panels and subpanels) and will have other electricians come out to provide estimates- free of charge.
Most reviews are written soon after one's experience. Perhaps just as important is what happens down the line, i.e., backing up one's work, supporting one's products and consistency of personnel. Today I had a followup visit for the transfer switch which Divine Electric (Nathan) installed last October. I was remiss in not testing it immediately after installation, but a recent 30 hour power outage forced the opportunity to test the generator and transfer switch. All worked well, but I had some operational questions and some thoughts about fine tuning the system. Nathan came out today as planned and spent an hour answering questions and making a few modifications to improve the utility of the set-up. He knew the system because he installed it. No charge. Consider it a follow-up visit! That's divine!

We just moved into a new house and found these guys when we saw their truck parked at our neighbors house. We needed a panel upgrade and a bunch of new wiring run. After getting several estimates, we went with them despite no recommendation other than that of our new neighbors.
As it turns out, they were awesome. Came in and did the work in a neat and timely manner and saved us some money by reusing the wiring in the garage that they said didnt need upgrading.
Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
We had a couple of light fixtures that weren't working. Sam came in and diagnosed the problems right away. He carefully explained the options that we had, from DIY to full-scale services. He was able to fix the problem with one of the fixtures; and we have a clear path to the other one. We really appreciated his honesty and courtesy. And he was willing to go the extra mile by walking us through the needed steps. Great job!

Darin has the best guys in the industry! Mike and Paul with combined 20+ years as electrician came over to our house to replace our old Zinsco panel (considered a very unstable panel). They are both very knowledgable and strive to do everything in perfection and most importantly up to code!
Darin, the owner, also took the time out of his busy schedule to come all the way to introduce himself. Very cool guy!
Now we have a brand cool new spanking panel thanks to Darin, Mike and Paul. If you need your electrical done right, Divine Electric is the one to call!
I highly recommend this firm. They do excellent work, and are very professional and courteous. I was really pleased with the attention to detail they brought to my job. I had a more complicated project in my home, and I was very happy that Jon who came over to scope and provide a quote was also the foreman for the entire job. I got exactly what I wanted, and they made sure I was happy. The rest of the crew of Ivan, Brian, and Jason who helped with the job were all great as well. I could tell that these guys take pride in the work that they do, and the final results reflected that. I would highly recommend them for any electrical work, big or small.
Chris came out and redid all the electric down a staircase and into our daughter's bedroom. He also installed a ceiling fan. The work was done quickly and cleanly. He even filled in all the holes until we could get a drywaller out, and added a smoke dectector on his own. I will definitely use them, and especially Chris, again in the future.

Another positive experience with Divine. Sam came by today and gave an estimate for a future job. He was knowledgable and very helpful. He is a great guy and I look forward to working with Divine on our upcoming project.
Good customer service - a real person actually answers the phone! They quickly scheduled a skilled electrician, Paul, to check out my problem. But they are not cheap. For a small job and a tight budget, you might want to look elsewhere.
Devine Electric is there real deal! They do quality work repairing not only old electrical in our home, but ran new telephone wire and upgraded all our overhead can lights to led. A pleasure to work with. Josie is always good to talk to at the front desk and Paul and Sami are great in the field.

Outrageously overpriced, with a tiered premium pricing plan that's downright pretentious. Tech showed up and wanted to charge almost $300 just for the labor to replace a broken dimmer switch. And this was the cheapest of Divine's 7 pricing options! I hired another licensed electrican and it took him only 20 minutes and $75 to change out the switch. He didn't need to wear all the fancy gear and earpieces either.

Had a great experience. Chris arrived on time was very personable and knowledgeable. He was able to diagnose and fix our problem. I will definitely call Divine again and request Chris!
Jon came by today to help with installing a new smart thermostat, a light switch, an outdoor flood light and replaced our kitchen light as well. He was very nice, tidy and thorough in his explanations with all things; including quotes for future work. He worked with our budgets, listed to our plans and gave plenty of options to consider. Needless to say we are very pleased with Divine and Jon and will be utilizing their services again in the near future for our next level of projects. Thank you!
Nathan from Divine Electric was very professional and thorough. He came out on time and called ahead to let you know each time. Not a big fan of the upselling they try to do, but it sounds like its more of a company thing. Nathan was very efficient and squeezed me into his schedule due to our time constraints with a contractor. He was always responsive and I appreciate his time and getting the job done in a timely manner. I would recommend him to family and friends.

Divine is awesome! We have use them for 2 projects and they are great to work with. All of their employees are very professional and know what they are doing. On our last remodel we had a tough time wrangling every other sub, but not Divine Electric.

Since inadequate electric work is a safety concern, finding Divine made me feel better about our electricity after many years of searching for the right team. Linda is organized and helpful setting up the jobs. Trevor priced the job for what was required, but upgraded my cable and conduit to made the deal sweeter. Trevor was a journeyman electrician who knew his craft. Great job. Christian was also great helping out with the job.
We needed to have a light fixture replaced and called Divine Electric after reading previous Yelp reviews. Paul did an excellent job installing the new fixture and even gave suggestions for future lighting to brighten our kitchen. I wholeheartedly give this company 5 stars.
We scheduled Home Electrical Safety Inspection with Nathan. He was very knowledgeable and thorough. He took the time to explain things and answered all of our questions. Truly went above and beyond of what is expected. Fantastic service!

Sam came to our Tiburon home to update some of the wiring in our old home. We were not very specific beforehand about what we needed done. Sam tried very hard to provide the wiring in our master bedroom and then asked if he could call in a colleague, Paul, who had the supplies in his truck to do the job. We appreciated Sam's professionalism in handling the challenge and in Paul's hard work in a very hot attic that gave us what we needed. We highly recommend this team.

Just had John out today to install an electric outlet in our fireplace in prep for our new gas fireplace insert. He couldn't have been nicer! He took the time to explain everything he was doing, was exceptionally careful to install the new wiring in a way that would be least disruptive to the house and electrical system, and was extremely clean and safety conscious. Will definitely use Divine again!
Divine Electric has been a wonderful company to work with. I have had them to my house on two occasions; first time to install new switches and plugs and add new light fixtures to a couple of rooms, second visit to put in more new switches and relocate an electrical junction box. Nathan Dupre and Chris Rudolph have gone above and beyond when it came to answering questions regarding the job they were at my house to do and regarding a few other questions to some upgrades I want to do in the future. You can stop looking and just give them a call. They are an awesome company providing quality service!
I called Divine because the master bedroom electrical sockets were not working. From my initial conversation with Josie, the receptionist, I felt assured that Divine would solve the problem. Nathan was our technician and he was absolutely outstanding. He gave a very thorough explanation of what was involved in the service call, that safety is primary & that we would have solution options. Nathan was very professional, efficient & a hard worker. He even found additional electrical issues that we weren't aware of. I truly was impressed w/Nathan & Divine & would highly recommend both to all.
These guys are as good as it gets. I'm an interior decorator and have used them several times for my own home, and I cannot express enough how excellent their service is. Paul and Nathan (and their guys) are top-notch professionals, always helpful, always hardworking, always with a smile.

About a month ago, Phil came by to help with some electrical stuff at the house. He worked quickly and efficiently, and was cheerful the whole time. I'm really glad I found this company and will be using them again. Highly recommend.
Sam T. the electrician was great. Real problem solver. Thought I had a couple of old fixtures that were completely out, and that we're gonna cost a lot of money to replace, but he did some checking and was able to fix everything, giving us light everywhere and only spending a very little bit of money. This is the fourth time I've used it by electric, they have been excellent every time.
Just had a nest system put on by divine, awesome service, very helpful knowledgeable and great follow up. Nathan was our point of contact and couldn't have done better
I am in the trades and can quickly identify the real deal when it comes to contractors. I have worked with Paul and Darin - they are both pros. They were educational, efficient and respectful of our home.
I highly recommend this company. I hired Darin to fix some mistakes from prior electrical work and take care of long overdue maintenance. He was prompt and efficient and completed all the work and cleaned up in less than one day. No supervision required very trustworthy and fair priced.
Sam was just here to install my chandelier and did a fantastic job! He was knowledgable, professional, and friendly. I will definitely request him again for any future needs, and recommend him to anyone in need of electrical work:)

Phil Montoya is amazing! This is the second time he has been to our house and I am so impressed with his work. Not only does he do a fantastic job, but he discusses options with you. I never feel pressured to spend more money or create a bigger job. Phil explains each option and helps provide all the information I need to make a decision. I will always request Phil whenever I need electrical services!

As a General Contractor for 26 years, I know that I'm only as good as my subs and suppliers and one of my most dependable, is Divine Electric. His work ethic, reliability and professionalism are consistent and his prices are fair. He is my first choice on my projects and has been for the last several years, since we began working together.
Asked for an electrician recommendation on the Southern Marin Mother's Club forum and someone raved about Darin Divine and his company. I got two bids and while the pricing was relatively comparable, there was no comparison in the knowledge and level of professionalism from Divine.
Mike came and did our work for us (installing some new overhead and art lights) and was prompt, pleasant and very competent. Even when he faced an obstacle with some access points, he never tried to convince me to change directions or scratch the plan, he just kept working to find a solution, which he did.
I was totally satisfied and no question I'd call them again!
I had some smart switches I needed installed and my regular electrician was MIA. I called and they got Trevor over here within a day and he had them installed in less than an hour. Very prompt, very professional, very courteous!
Linda was easy to talk and found me the earliest apt. Chris came out to help. We quickly determined it was best to replace ten outlets. He was fast, super nice and and very knowledgeable. This is the 2nd time I have used Divine and I wouldn't use anyone else.

Great experience and very professional service. Chris did a great job and I am planning to use this firm again.
I have no hesitation in recommending Divine Electrical. Our team of Joaquin, Luis and Nathan were the best electricians we have ever worked with. Our experience with them from start to finish was 110% professional, courteous and knowledgable. Nathan met with us initially to review all our project requirements, provide a company overview and a proposal based upon our requirements. He was thorough in his inspection and very informative in his presentation. His follow up to all of our questions was prompt and hugely helpful. Joaquin and Luis completed all of the work in our house over two days. They are true experts in their profession. They were extremely polite, complete self starters who explained everything they were doing and go to it! They cleaned up as they went and left our home as they entered it - except with amazing new lighting! We changed the scope of our project 3 times on Divine and this was never an issue. Even when I added on one more project after they had begun! Thank you so much for your expertise and I look forward to using your services again.
Showed up on time, very professional, thoughtful, and helpful. Paul is super friendly and efficient. Great service - I now have a competent, reliable, honest electrician.
Very efficient, easy to schedule, responsive. Phil did a great job. Detail oriented. Fairly priced. Would use again.
I received excellent service from Trevor. He showed up within the 30 minute timeframe I was given, gave me a list of options to choose from in terms of the work he saw needing to be completed (and was very detailed in his explanations, especially considering I know next to nothing about electrical work), and then completed the job quickly and thoroughly. Great, professional service--I highly recommend.
Well sitting here for a no show appointment. Made the appointment and felt the appointment lady was a bit condenscending. And now I wasted a morning for nothing.

We had a few small electric jobs around the house, and from the first phone call with Adam to having Trevor come take care of the issues things couldn't have gone more smoothly. So when we had a larger issue with powering a new sump pump I had no hesitation calling the boys at divine electric to take care of all my needs. Certainly would use them for any electrical issues in the future!
Phil came out to install a Nest thermostat and smoke detector. I couldnt be happier with him. He did excellent work. Was very nice and concerned that the products were all connected to my phone before he left. Arrived early and cleaned up everything. And very fair pricing. You cant go wrong here. There's a reason for all these 5 star reviews!
Chris and Steve did a wonderful job on my outdoor and indoor lighting. The company was easy to work with; dependable and communicated clearly. I'm remodeling the powder room and will be calling them to install the lighting fixtures!
These guys are the best!!! Professional, on budget and excellent workmanship. I recommend them highly.
Great service from Trevor. Called this morning, he was here by noon. He did a couple installations, walked me through the process and the options, and did exactly what I needed. Friendly and professional.

I am so happy I discovered Divine Electric. They always get a skilled technician out to our house very quickly. I especially appreciate Phil (who I don't think I could manage without). He always goes above and beyond for us and has spent countless hours organizing our system, replacing and repairing lights and helping us understand how everything works.
We needed electrical work completed found Divine Electric after some research. They lived up to the reputation we discovered. Trevor, in particular, arrived on time, was professional, friendly and offered really useful feedback about what we needed to fix. The work was done carefully, with attention to detail and what was in my family's best interest. I tend to stay with an organization that I value and Divine Electric falls into that category, hands down!
We completed a renovation on our apartment last year and Divine Electric handled all the electrical work. We worked with Darin, the owner. He did an amazing job. He's extremely professional and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He has also come out to fix a faulty smoke detector and address a couple other minor issues we had at no charge. He's a keeper!
My entire experience with this company was wonderful. Starting with getting an estimate, the owner Darin was responsive and knowledgable. His pricing won't be on the cheaper end, but he will be competitive against other bids if needed. The crew I had was awesome - Trevor did the AC disconnect switch which required some navigating. It was well done! Chris and Christian did my recessed lighting in the kitchen, hung a fixture, replaced some switches and some other minor things. Chris was super patient and knowledgable going the extra mile to clean up and go over the scope clearly at the end. Honestly, one of my best experiences with a contracting company crew so far. So friendly and job well done!! I will be recommending this company to others for sure.

Great and efficient by Devine Electric. Paul was great, a real professional and was very efficient. THe company is well run and everyone I had contact with was excellent. I will use them again when I needed electrical work.
We had recessed lighting put in. Thoughtful conversation to ensure expectations were set ahead of time before work began, efficient work, and an outcome just as discussed. Super pleased. Paul was great - thanks!

We left a message on his mobile and he got back to us at the end of the day. I got a visit and a quote from Darin in two days and his installer was there two days later. We had two 240 volt electric car charger outlets installed (one inside the garage and one on the exterior of the garage). Nice, clean conduit work! So much better than our old 110 volt charger!

I called Divine Electric to finish a job some other company had started and reportedly was too busy to finish the project. It is not always easy to take over someone's project and finish it. Phil was amazing to work with. He gave me an estimate so I would know what to expect. He made an appointment and showed up when promised. I am now enjoying my new underwater LED lights in my water fountain and my stone column lighting. Thank you Phil.
Best electricians this side of San Francisco. Plan to use them as our regular electrician in the future.
an entirely first rate job, from beginning, at scheduling, to job completion. First appointment was for viewing and pricing the work to be done, which included prices for alternate ways in which the work could be performed. We selected an option and appointment was made for the work. We were given a half-hour window of time in which the technician would arrive. (A day before the visit we were called with a reminder). Chris arrived exactly when promised, performed the work expertly and was a pleasure to have in the home. We could not have asked for a better experience with this business.

These guys are the friendliest. Very clean in their work, explain to you in detail what needs to be done, and very fast. They did a great job. Very responsive. And they made sure my house was still clean when they left. 100% professional and quality of work is impeccable. Good value and service.
I had a very positive experience with installing a 240 volt electrical line in my garage for charging a Chevy Volt--it was actually a much smoother and quicker process than I was expecting it to be. Their office manager Adam responded to my e-mail the very next morning, and luckily Darin had an opening that afternoon to check out the house and provide a quote. Darin and their electrician Phil were also really responsive in modifying their original plan to accommodate some envisioned future changes that we might make to the exterior of the house. Phil arrived on time and had the whole project done and installed in one day. Everyone was completely professional. Anyway, I'm loving the higher-voltage charger (a ClipperCreek HCS-40P), and it's also great to know a local electrician to call for any projects in the future.

I have to add my praise along with those who have experienced positive work done as well as managed by Adam. Trevor arrived earlier than scheduled but only by approval by phone, which was awesome, and proceeded to do an exceptional job. Trevor offered constructive advice to my conceptual ideas. I have scheduled Trevor to return for future work and more importantly found a source I am more than secure and comfortable with. Thank you Adam and thank you Trevor.
Darin arrived within two hours of our calling him, replaced our faulty outlet, and was super quick. He was also very nice. And a cyclist. When the next problem arises in our house, we will call him again.
They were quick, available faster than anyone else, and got the job done under the estimate. Would definitely call them next time I needed electrical work done. I needed a dedicated grounded circuit installed, and they got it done in under 3 hours. Fast, clean, and courteous service. Very professional.
Chris came today to make some repairs for me. He solved all of my problems! Not only is he professional, but very courteous and friendly and conscientious. Great service! I will be calling Divine when I have need for an electrician in the future.

They did some new wiring work for us and were great. The office staff is very efficient - emailing appointment confirmations, promtly responding. Darin and his crew did a great job and worked hard all day. The pricing was very competitive too. So nice to deal with a professional, reliable contractor!
Darin and his team were extremely diligent and helpful when they worked with us this summer. Over the course of 2 days they replaced both our main panel and our sub panel and got our electric upgraded as promised.
They ended up saving us a bunch of money by advising us on what needed to be done without going over board. Another electrician we spoke with before Darin told us that to upgrade the entire system we would have to demo all the walls out and start fresh. Darin took one look at our place and told us exactly what needed to happen and had his team at our house the next day as promised. I will be working with Divine electric in the future when we do an upcoming remodel.

We are currently working with Divine Electric to do some electrical work to our home. Darin is thorough and money conscious and gave us options when choosing what to do. Christian and Nathan did the actual work and were here all day, cleaned up, asked for our opinion through out the day and were just all around amazing. It is so nice to work with a trustworthy company that does absolutely excellent work.

Seeking an electrician on short notice with no referral by friends or neighbors usually fills me with dread, but thanks to Yelp (on which Divine Electric Norcal ranks very high), it was a no-brainer. Called the office on a rainy Monday morning, figuring it would be days 'til we heard back. But that same afternoon Divine dispatched Trevor to trouble-shoot the non-functioning electric baseboard heating system in my office. Trevor investigated, then presented six different repair/replacement options at six different price points. Evidently, this sophisticated approach is standard operating procedure for Divine. I couldn't be happier with Divine, or with Trevor, and best of all, we have a regular electrician now! Thanks, Yelp!
I hired Divine Electric a few weeks ago after finding them here and asking around for a reputable referral. Not only was my call answered immediately, but the service was scheduled the next day and my vintage chandelier was hardwired and hung perfectly.
I also appreciated that Darin took extra care in helping me decide where I wanted the switch and added the dimmer feature which is perfect for my dining room.
I definitely recommend Divine Electric and will call them again when the need arises. I can't remember the last time a service person called me a few days later to make sure I was happy and that the service was to my satisfaction. I'm super impressed!
Look no further for your electrical needs, these are the good guys! Yes, they're a little pricey (but not over the top), but YES, it's worth it. Stop trying to figure it all out yourself, or go cheap: call these guys and they'll come right over, and solve your problems.
We've used them a couple of times now, and I am giving their name out to anyone looking for quick, reasonably priced, knowledgeable electricians.
My husband and I were scratching our heads, bickering as only we can do when we think we should know what we're doing and of course, we don't.....when I decided to call on Divine Electric, again. They sent Paul out the next morning, and he traced a short in the wiring, fixed it, and had us up and running in a couple hours. What more can you ask, we say? Oh, and he didn't even mind us hanging around, trying to learn a thing or two.
So - save your marriage, save yourself from a headache, and call Divine Electric; they're great.
How does this company have such great reviews? I blame myself for going against my gut - what company charges a non-refundable $49 fee to come give you an estimate without telling you what their hourly rate is or giving you any idea of what the work will cost? I've had many different types of people do work on my house (plumbers, painters, flooring, dry wall) and they either quote an hourly rate because they don't know how long it will take, or they come over and give a free estimate. The technician came out and quoted me $770 to run my television cable underneath my house (in a full height crawl space) and cut a hole through my wall in another room so I can change the location of my television. The quote for hanging a 25 pound chandelier was over $400, despite the fact that I already have electrical in that area set up by another electrician waiting to go. He even admitted that he would be able to finish these two things in a few hours, so unless extra feet of cable costs hundreds of dollars, this would make their hourly rate upwards of $250/hr. They first gave me an option costing over $3000 which included 5 year warranty to soften the blow. They are polite and show up on time, so if you have an emergency call them, I'm sure they do great electrical work, but otherwise please don't waste your money!

I was really happy with Divine Electric's work! We had them install outlets on walls behind TVs and digital picture frames, route low-voltage cabling behind walls to a cabinet for the TV, install a ceiling fan, replace aging outdoor lights, and update some GFI outlets. Darin came out to our house and was very courteous and professional and provided a competitive quote. When it came to his installers, Paul and Trevor, both worked really hard to get the job done quickly, but took care to make it look as good as possible. They were both very courteous while they worked and ultimately went out of their way to make sure the job was done right, too. I would definitely use them again next time I need an electrician's expertise.

I needed some outlets rewired and I went with Divine Electric after asking around and checking out reviews. I'm glad I did because Darin was quick to respond and he got the job done promptly at a reasonable price. I especially appreciate how Darin took the time to explain what needed to be done so I could feel confident that the job was done safely and correctly. I would highly recommend Divine Electric.

Darin was highly recommended to us by a couple of our neighbors, but we never got the chance to find out how good he was. I called him twice, but he never returned my calls.
Five stars, and I'd throw in a sixth if the rating system allowed. Trevor, Nathan and Christian are top-notch. We needed, for many years, to retrofit a sixty-year-old house with grounded outlets. A technician doing that work must be part electrician, part urban archaeologist and part detective with a liking for unusual challenges. This reviewer was present for almost all of the work, moving household items out of the way for access. The technicians explained the work as they went along and they were gracious enough to laugh at this reviewer's corny banjo jokes. Appreciated much more than that, the crew worked around a very busy household environment, even working in another area when it was a toddler's nap time. Divine Electric Norcal appears to be a rare gem of a company: a real person almost always picks up the phone, they call you back, they show up right on time and they get the job done. If and when we need any electrical work, Divine Electric Norcal will get the call. Well done, gentlemen!
Yet another 5-star review for Divine Electric! I called Darren (the owner) after we moved into a new home in Fairfax, to replace an old Zinsco panel and from day-1 he was totally patient and thoroughly explained all my options, making sure that everything he suggested was future-proof and would allow for expansion if and when we needed (e.g. solar panels, electric vehicle, etc.). His team was fantastic too! Paul, who completed the job, was punctual, professional, and friendly, and completed our entire box replacement in a day (even with juggling PG&E turning on/off power at the pole). They left the work area cleaner than they found it, and even voluntarily swapped out some of my older fixtures to match the new box they installed. Everything is working flawlessly, and I will absolutely be using Darren and his team again for ANY electrical needs in the future. It's rare to find a team that nails both customer service and execution down to the last detail, but these guys have it all. Highly, highly recommend!
I had been searching for the right company to take care of our outdated electrical panel considered a high fire hazard and to have many other miscellaneous items repaired. I contacted several electrical contractors and Divine Electric was by far the best in all categories: promptness, quick response, clear and thorough estimate (other companies thought my concerns and other requests were pointless and did not even want to address them!), reliability (before, during and after the job was completed!), fair price (not the cheapest but the best for what they had to do), courteous, clean and willing to answer my questions without being condescending (one other contractor was especially condescending every step of the way!). I can safely say I am 100% satisfied with Divine Electric!
Divine Electric recently replaced and upgraded our electrical service panel, raised the attachment of our electrical service to a steel mast above our roof, and grounded and bonded our electrical system to code requirements. Everything about their work, communication, troubleshooting, coordination with PG&E and the city of Mill Valley building department, was first rate. Darin Divine explained the process in a way we could understand, and answered all our questions. Phil and Bruno were the technicians who did the work, and they proceeded expeditiously and got all the necessary work done in a single day so that we only were without power for that one day. Phil patiently and collaboratively worked with me over the course of the day to locate and attach the service panel in a way that worked for me, and meshed with work I was doing to build a cabinet around the panel for aesthetics. Exceeded expectations in all respects, and I will definitely hire this company again.

These guys are the best! We have had a lot of electricians in Mill Valley who have been so disappointing - Darin and Paul have made up for them all. I wouldn't call anyone else. Excellent customer service, quick to respond, thorough and smart. Really reasonable pricing. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

We are a small Design group Built-studio.com and reached to Divine Electric for a large remodel project quote for the entire elect. project scope. Divine electric provided us with a prompt, competitive and professional project package. We look forward to working with Divine electric on all future projects. Thank you for your reliable quality service.
We had a backyard project going in San Anselmo recently and I was told at the last minute I needed to find my own electrician for the work to continue. A friend recommended Divine Electric since they had done a very good job for them in their yard. The reviews on yelp were very good so I gave a call. Within a day they came to the house while I was at work, went over the project with our contractor, bid the job and made themselves available to do it the next day. The bid was reasonable compared to other similar jobs I have had done. My contractor was also impressed. The job was done exactly as they said they would and when they said they would do it. I highly recommend them for any project.
We wanted to install recessed lighting in our living room and had worked with one other company on other electrical work previously but wanted to try someone different this time. We very much like to hire local people and given the good yelp reviews, tried Darin at Divine. We are very happy as everything went smoothly. Darin did the initial walkthru and was very easy to talk to - helping us understand what was involved and recommending hardware choices. The installation was scheduled promptly and Trevor and Chris who did the install were exceptional - on-time, courteous, answered our questions well, and when they had questions for us, were easy to understand and work with. The best is when the end result and the process are both enjoyable. We will not hesitate to use Divine again in the future.

I've been using Divine Electric for years and they always do a great job for a fair price. Darin and his crew are very professional, honest and reliable. I've used Divine Electric on both my personal residence and rental properties and trust them enough to just unlock the door and let them lock up after they've finished. I highly recommend Divine Electric!

Super quick returned call and appointment made next day...professionally installed (thx paul) small project came in under budget and now i can charge up my EV at home not at hauke thx DD! (This is truly 'as good as it gets.')
for as good as we thought they were at first, we've been having problems all over the house and now there's no sign of them....called/emailed countless times over the past several weeks, got nothing - really disappointing
Darin was great. He came right away, same day I called. He was prepared and had the outlet problem repaired within the hour. I was so impressed with his knowledge and professionalism that I recommended him to a contractor friend for his company jobs. I will definitely use Divine again!
We needed rewiring for a new stove hood in our 1908 Marin house. Paul came promptly, assessed the situation, which was pretty messy, and proceeded to run new line, install a box and decommission an old circuit in the attic safely. He worked fast, communicated well, was pleasant and the price was very reasonable. Definitely will use Divine again!
