Nick did an excellent job installing a Tesla wall charger for us. Our house had a limited 100 amp service and he gave us quotes for different install options. We ultimately went with an install which included a dcc-12 load balancer. This allowed us to keep our 100 amp service and and use the full power of the wall charger without concern of blowing the main fuse.
He also replaced our main breaker since it was most likely 50 years old, and he also checked our sub panel and fixed some breakers that were sized incorrectly.
Nick went above and beyond and I highly recommend his service!

We needed our Telsa wall connector installed and Nick and his team did a very good job at installing it. Very professional company. Would definitely hire them again for anything related to electric.

Electrica provided excellent service. Nick came on a Sunday and installed everything (240V NEMA 14-50 outlet) quickly and cleaned up after (I've had contractors who left me with a huge mess to clean up afterwards).

I definitely plan to use them again for future electrical needs.

Nick is such a great guy. Great professional. Gave best advice and did outstanding, quality work. I met with 11 electricians before I went with Nick and chose him regardless of quote price. Highly recommend and will call on him again

Nick is extremely professional and very knowledgeable. We wanted a 14-50 outlet installed for our new EV and he helped us with this project. Requested for a quote on yelp and he texted back within 10 minutes. He was very communicative during the whole process. I purposefully asked him a lot of questions and threw a lot of options at him. He clearly explained how everything works, pros & cons and installation costs for each of the options. Gave suggestions about what will work best in my scenario and never pushed me to pick one over the other. Would definitely recommend him for any kind of electrical work.

Nick is very responsive and very grateful that he can come in next day.  He's also very up front about the estimate and it's very reasonable.
Will definitely recommend for anyone looking for trustworthy electrician!

I needed an outdoor outlet installed on my house. Nick from Electrica immediately stopped by for an estimate. The quote was very fair so I decided to have the job done right away. He did great work and was a pleasure to do business with! I will happily reach out to him for any further electrical work!

Like some many garages there's never enough outlets and as a result we had power extension bars and cords for garage openers, lights, treadmill, tv, car charging, etc. In order to get this organized and to balance out the load on the system I asked for quotes for installation of 5 outlets.  Nick came to the house and we discussed our needs. He then recommended having three circuits installed: one for the threadmill (draws a lot), one for outlets including one where I charge our electric car (using 120v) and one circuit for the two garage openers and having 3 of the outlets be quads and the other two dual. On the day of the installation Nick and his helper arrived on time and during the day installed the circuits with all wires in conduit and boxes and outlets of higher quality.  We are pleased with the end results and have been able to get rid of all the extra extensions. We would definitely use Electrica again.

I was looking for a electrician to install an 240V outlet for EV charging and Electrica seemed at first to be a good one for the job, but I was disappointed after just a couple of message exchange. First, the quote for the job was pretty high compared to others, almost 2x of the lowest quote, but that's not the only problem. When I asked if the price was negotiable, the guy joked how about $650 (instead of $575). I was taken aback by his arrogance and lack of professionalism. I am not sure why he did that. Was he not serious about his job? Was he under influence when he replied to my message? I mean he can give me any quote he wants but it must be in a professional way to gain people's trust. Obviously his behavior was a big NO for me, so I selected another electrician for the job.

Nick did a great job replacing our old ClipperCreek and replacing it with a Tesla Wall Charger. He responded very quickly and came out on the same day to provide an estimate. I appreciated that he went over various options and worked with me to find a good solution. I would have no problems reaching out to him for future electrical work.

The day our solar contractor installed our panels, one of our circuit breakers started tripping.  They tested the breaker and said it was fine, but that there was a short circuit somewhere.

I contacted a number of local electricians for help.  Some of them were unavailable, the rest offered to come and look and then give us a quote within the next few days.  Nick gave me a price up front and came that same afternoon.  He was able to identify the location of the short: in the roof where the solar panels had just been installed! A nail from one of the supports was the most likely suspect. Nick then devised a plan to bypass the short location, re-wiring the circuit under the crawl space.

The work was significantly dirtier and more arduous than Nick had been expecting, but he was very willing and clearly knew exactly what he was doing.  We ended the day with all circuits fully functional.  I will definitely call Nick and Electrica for any future electrical work.  Thank you Nick!

I had a great experience working with Nick. He quickly responded on my ask for a quote , within two hours he dropped by my house and two days later I nstalled a 14-50 nema outlet to charge my electric cars. The quote he gave was fair and matched market prices, and the worked was really good. I love working with people like Nick. Straight to the point , no funny business!!! Highly recommended.

We needed to install several new light fixtures in our house. Nick was great at being the first to respond to our inquiry, giving a fair quote (compared to others), and being the first available to do the job.
The job itself was done perfectly, even though our fixtures were several decades old and nailed to the wall, he patiently removed them and installed the new ones.
He went beyond just the service, including cleaning up after himself even though a lot of the dirt was there even before the job, and also spent some time answering our questions regarding other projects we have in mind.

Without a doubt would use his services again.

I had Nick installed a 14-50 outlet in my house for EV charging. It was easy to set up a quick appointment with him. He was very responsive on yelp, arrived on time, and finished the work early.

Great experience working with Nick and his team to upgrade our outdoor electrical panel for solar service.  Nick kept me in the loop through every stage, with timely text updates.  Nathan and his father, the electricians on site, were polite, prompt, and went above and beyond, including helping me to isolate a bad patch cable that had taken our kitchen vent hood out of commission.  The installation itself was clean and professional.  

I'd gladly work with Electrica again.

I contacted Electrica for a quote to install a 240V power outlet so compare with a quote for another electrician. I was very impressed with their response time. They requested some extra information and provided me with a quote right away, without having to come and see my place. Note only was their quote lower than the first electrician I contacted, they were also available to do the work much sooner.

The day of the install, the electrician showed up on time and did solid work. Everything looks great and works as expected. They were also careful to match exactly the specification I needed for my appliance. They had also given me a estimated completion time and they completed the work within this timeframe.

I definitely recommend Electrica and would use again. Very professional and friendly.

Kevin was the first person to respond to my inquiry to install a Level 2 charger for EV in my garage. We corresponded by text and yelp, and he was super responsive. His responses were direct and helpful. When he came out, it was clear that he knew what he was doing as a contractor and experienced electrician. The technical installation (after running necessary diagnostics and discussing the logistics) was fast and smooth. Clearly an expert in his trade. Highly recommend...

We were in need of an electrician to install a ceiling light, some electrical outlets and to fix some wiring done by another contractor.  Nick was the first electrician to respond to my request for service.  He walked me through all of the things that would need to be done and he provided me with a very fair quote.  He arrived to the job site on time and did an exceptional job with all the work.

If you're in need of a reliable, professional, thorough electrician, hire Nick!  We will definitely be doing business with him again when we are ready to upgrade our electrical panel and when we want to install our EV charging station.

I was looking to replace a TT-30 outlet in our garage with a 14-50 to plug in an EV. Nick responded to my query within minutes, and was able to come and take a look, diagnose the problem with the old outlet, give me options, and complete the job that afternoon. He was much more responsive than other electricians I had consulted for the same work on Yelp.

We had a quick simple job, one that I think some others might not have come by for.  Nick gave us a window of time just a couple days out and provided a price right up front.  Others replied with an offer to come by to give us a quote and then let us decide what to do.  It was a very simple job to replace an outdoor electrical outlet.  I provided LOTS of information and photos to enable someone to give a quote online like what Nick did.  He arrived just a little after the window he provided, but it turned out not to be a problem for us.  He did the work quickly and charged a reasonable price.  We would use him again.

Within 12 hours of asking electricians for quotes to install some GFCI outlets, Nick had come and done the work at a very reasonable price. He was prompt, responsive, and (unlike others) did not try to put us through a $75 consultation for what he recognized to be a straightforward job. Would recommend!

I needed a tesla charger to be installed and went through yelp. Electrica reached out immediately and asked to schedule a consultation the very next day. Nick promptly showed up on the agreed time and after discussing my options, he gave a very modest estimate on the installation. The very next day he came in to install my charger which took 6 hours. Even though it was one of the hottest days in the month in san jose. He still worked through the blistering sun to get my charger installed. He also flagged some electrical safety hazards that I was not aware about since I was renting this home. He provided suggestions and alternatives to mitigate the situation. I would 100% hire these guys as they are very professional, quick, and responsive at all times.

I need to install the Tesla wall connector. He responded me very quickly and performed the service on the next day. Very nice guy and the installation was very professional. During the installation he also found some loosen wires in my electric panel and helped me fixed them. Definitely recommend if you live in this area.

Nick worked to find a creative and safe solution for our GFIC outlets due to building constraints. He explained everything and did a thorough job. My husband and I are very pleased and will definitely be reaching out for further services such as installing a circuit for a car charger.

I contacted Nick in the evening to come over to fix a dead GFIC outlet in my kitchen after another electrician canceled on me.  Nick came over the next morning and was able to replace the outlet and got it replaced within the hour.  He is responsive and very reasonably priced compared to other quotes I received.
