Reviews
I upgraded the electrical panels for my duplex to 200 Amps. After getting multiple bids, I chose Gustavo because he came up with the best solution for a tricky upgrade. In addition, he managed the permit process and PG&E inspections. It was a lengthy install primarily due to the permit process, but Gustavo was able to push everything through with both the city and PG&E.
I highly recommend Gustavo as an electrician.
Had a great experience with GLugo.
They were timely, flexible and did a great job.
I would highly recommend them.

Gustavo not only helped us to installed a Tesla wall charger, but also provided a very effective solution to get the 240v power connect to the charger with least amount of changes to our dry wall or the old panels. We are very happy with the results. We contacted them just last week when we know we are getting the new car, and he is able to get it done right after the car is delivered yesterday, we are very appreciate on this super quick turnaround as well.
The process was very smooth!!
I got the quote from Gustavo via Yelp. He gave me a price estimate and then came over to assess the work and explain the process clearly.
The took the time to do the work and beat the time me estimate.
The overall workmanship was awesome and he and his guy took the time to cleanup.
Attaching some pictures, Great job Gustavo!!

Good work. Reliable electrician. Came on time, installed the bathroom fan and motion sensor switch as discussed. Everything was neatly done and cleaned up.
Gustavo was great! We were searching for electricians to set up a dedicated outlet in our garage for a treadmill and went through Yelp's system for collecting quotes. No one would give us an estimate without coming by to see it first but Gustavo was able to provide one with just a few pictures. He's extremely responsive, to the point, and was in and out at the scheduled time - which is a dream when you're working from home with tons of meetings.
Would definitely reach out to him again for any other electrical needs - highly recommend!
I had a lot of wiring issues in my house, poor Gustavo spent whole day from 9am to 8pm rewiring switches, fans and installing smart switches. He did very good job, no cutting corners , no rush. great work. very clean.
Highly recommend it
Gustavo gave a detail estimate. Came on time as scheduled, very punctual and professional. Installation of exhaust was done very neat and cleaned up after done. Job well done.
Gustavo is an excellent electrician with excellent customer relation skills also. He always shows up on time when he says he will and does high quality work. He made excellent recommendations for some kitchen lighting in our house and it was executed with great skill. I highly recommend Gustavo and his team. We would not hesitate to use his services again in the future.
We had some miscellaneous electrical work that we wanted to get done in our home (additional outlets to hide TV wires, exhaust fan in the bathroom, etc.). Gustavo and his team were very professional about executing this project. He came and reviewed the work that needed to be done and shared a quote online. They followed all the necessary COVID-19 protocols while working. They were also very respectful and cleaned up after the work was done in one area. We were getting the work done during a weekday and Gustavo was very flexible in trying not to make too much noise during meetings. He was sport about making a last minute trip back to the store to make sure the wires he installed matched our existing coaxial cable. Originally he had quoted 1.5 days for the work to be done but the team chose to stay late (till 7pm) and finish the job on the same day (highly appreciated!). He even fixed some of the mistakes our previous electricians had made.
I would highly recommend Gustavo for any electrical projects. I am sure I will be going back to him in case of any need in the future.
I was fortunate enough to have Gustavo. I needed to add 1 dedicated wire/breaker for the bathroom outlet, and he gave me an estimate that is more than reasonable to my Yelp mass quote request immediately even it was on the weekend.
He came on time of appointment day, and got it done the work within 10 days from initial Yelp quote. What I most impressed was that he meticulously closed the drywall hole he opened to fish the wire. He even offered (with very small fee) to patch it further by himself, but I decided to do by myself because rest should be doable by non-experienced person like me, and I did not want to waste the time of this great electrician.
Definitely will come back to him next time.
Very professional and on time. 2 thumbs up! Will definitely hire them again for other electrical work in the future.
Gustavo is very responsive on text messages. He is very professional and showed up on time for a reasonable quote estimate. I have 3 GFCI outlets installed for my bathrooms.
The work done is excellent. I highly recommend and cannot be more satisfied.

We can't say enough good things about Gustavo. We had an issue with a bathroom light not working. It was a small job, yet Gustavo was willing to help us out with it.
Gustavo was prompt, pleasant and professional. We were also impressed by how well-prepared he was and how respectful he was with regard to our home, taking care not to dirty or scratch anything.
Now the issue is resolved, thanks to Gustavo (and for a very modest amount). The world needs more people like Gustavo!
I found Gustavo completely by accident through Request-A-Quote...I was sending a quote request to an electrician our real estate agent had recommended and sent the request to him and to a few other electricians as well. He responded first (within a 30 minutes) and offered to come out that weekend to take a look at our bath fan replacement and rewiring project.
We needed three bath fans installed, two as replacements and one completely new installation. Gustavo came out (arrived right on time), provided a detailed, itemized bid that was lower than the other electricians we had provide estimates and he was willing to do the work on the following weekend.
Gustavo and his assistant (whose name I don't recall) showed up on time and immediately set to work. The project was actually more complex than we initially thought as they also had to install ducting in our attic to connect the upstairs fans to the attic vent, which was not part of the original scope of work. Gustavo purchased the needed materials and completed the work in one day. He did an excellent job with rewiring the two bathrooms and did a thorough job cleaning up after himself.
He is extremely professional, a quiet and very polite individual, and his responsiveness and promptness really stood out to me. I plan to use him for future electrical work and would highly recommend his services.
Gustavo is a great electrician. He installed a EV charger in my garage. He is very on time and professional. He knows all the details and have everything needed in his truck. Highly recommended.

My wife and I had bought these pendant lights months ago and we just never got around to having them installed - for no good reason. However, the new year was here, and we thought enough was enough. We started calling local electricians, several of whom, I might add, neither picked up the phone nor returned our calls and voice messages.
Then, we got on everyone's favorite merchant quote platform - Yelp! - and started requesting quotes from nearby. Gustavo was one of the first to respond. He said he could come by that very afternoon, if we wanted, to give us an estimate.
He arrived on time (even a bit earlier) and surveyed out everything he needed to see. He then put out the quote, which my wife and I first thought was a bit extreme (we really don't know much about electrical/wiring jobs), but upon some quick research, we realized was more than reasonable. As a bonus, Gustavo told us he could install the lights right then and there, if we wanted.
Well, what the heck, we had waited for almost half a year already and seeing those pretty lights up there could not have come soon enough. So we told Gustavo to have at it. In a couple of hours, the lights were up, the messes were cleaned and Gustavo was ready to go.
I am extremely happy with Gustavo's professionalism and the quality of his work. But as a part-time self-employed person myself, I am delighted that he was responsive on mobile, unlike several others, beat the competition to not only offer the best pricing, but also got the job done in a heartbeat.
Thank you, Gustavo, and well done!

Price: Fair
Availability: Same day!
Electric problem: Fixed
Attitude: Amazing, Gustavo is such a nice person.
I totally recommend if you need a licensed professional electrician w/o a fancy car that get the job done at a fair price.
Added GLugo to my trusted professionals list!
Gustavo (the owner) is very responsive to my message. We even exchanged our message close to mid-night. The service is excellent. He found a better solution than I originally imagined due to our awkward layout. Will definitely refer him to all my friends. Excellent job!
Gustavo, was very responsive and provided itemized bid for his work. He also showed up on-time on today. He also works cleanly and had brought it a sheet to prevent any damage to the flooring.
We would recommend him and plan to rely on him on our future projects.

Gustavo arrived on time and was very professional. He diagnosed the problem quickly and replaced the non-working part. He explained everything he was going to do before he started and told me the price.
I will keep him as a future electrician. In addition, he wore blue booties to respect our clean floors. Thanks so much!!

I have called Gustavo several times in the last year or so and he is always responsive and quick. Great service, knowledgeable and willing to help with any issue you might have.
Highly recommended. You won't be wrong calling Gustavo for whatever electrical or related issue you might have.
Well deserved 5 stars!
Fortunately, the problem I had was not a serious one. Gustavo showed me the problem and explained what had happened. He could have charged me a lot, but he didn't. I would use his services again. He was punctual, honest, and an excellent communicator. Great guy.

Gustavo recently switched out all the standard halogen lighting in my house and replaced with 5000k LED lighting. It has made a huge difference!! Gustavo is very professional, friendly, and on-time. He is thorough with his work and explains in detail and his work is extremely clean. He was very price competitive and I would recommend him to everyone. He is now my go-to electrician for any work in the future. So glad to have found him on yelp!
Great consultation, service, communication, pricing - all work has been done on budget and on time. Apart from installing over a dozen on can lights the team also patched up the ceiling with well matched paint - have not found any other electricians who have done both installation and post patching job/ all others said they would need to hire 3rd party contractors but this team owned the job from beginning to the end. They also installed outside lights in some challenging to reach spaces outside garage/backyard and that completely transformed the look of the house. Highly recommend them!

It was easy contacting and working with Gustavo.
He was able to accommodate on a Sunday afternoon and installed 4 indoor lights for me. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgable, thorough and kept a clean workspace. Couldn't ask for anything more and would recommend in a heartbeat.

I found Gustavo through request a quote and he was super fast at responding and helping me figure out what was wrong with one of my fuses. He was available the same week which was a big plus too. 10 stars for being on time and another 10 for asking if he should put on his shoe covers before even stepping in the door. He was able to fix the problem fairly quickly, reasonably priced and was real professional. I'd definitely work with Gustavo again,
Gave me a quote and stuck to it. Installed my electric vehicle charger yesterday and it worked great last night. They even ran the wiring through the attic instead of along the wall. Responded to all questions I had leading up to the installation. I highly recommend this company!!
Excellent job and great price. Familiar with Tesla Wall Charger installation. Responsive and professional.
Amazing!! I'm guilty of not adding many reviews although I use them all the time and am I grateful that I do. The reviews allowed me to find Gustavo. Our hallway lights have been out of commission for over two months and although we've had quotes, electricians have been totally undependable. I was nearing desperation and then submitted for a quote on Yelp. Not only did Gustavo respond right away, he came over same day to do a quote. You could feel the sincerity from him immediately. He gave us great advice and was super reasonable! He came over today to fix the lights and replaced them with new fixtures that I love. I highly recommend him and my home needs a ton of upgrades that I will definitely call upon Gustavo for. Thank you for everything Gustavo! You literally light up my day.

I contacted Gustavo regarding some blown fuses at my house and to review the electrical installation overall.
He was very professional and did a full inspection and fixed the issue. After his work was done he gave me all the details as to why the fuses were blown and the things that needed to be changed in order to avoid future electrical problems.
I will definitely call Gustavo for any electrical projects or needs in the future.

Gustavo provided fantastic service from the very beginning with his responsiveness to my yelp messages and willingness to conduct a free estimate that same week. His quote was much less expensive than what I received from other comparable electricians, and I was impressed by his professionalism. I really appreciated the booties and laying down of smocks to keep everything clean. He came back the next week to install a second story ceiling fan (no previous ceiling fixture) and transformer in our kitchen to run electricity to our front porch for a video doorbell. He went above and beyond moving furniture around as needed and completing the transformer installation in difficult to reach cabinets/walls so everything would be hidden. He managed to keep everything spotless and put back in its proper place. He finished the work in one day and the final price was exactly as estimated. We'll hire him again for any future needs since he does amazing work at a great value.

Great service, great communication and very safe! Very quick back and forth on Chat, showed up promptly and have me budget friendly options.
I own rentals and work with Gustavo for any and every electrical problem. Very good and dependable. Always shows up for jobs, keeps me worry-free, and never pushes for payments (though I always pay instantly).
I hired Gustavo to install a JuiceBox EV charger in my garage. I received four quotes, two of which were higher than Gustavo's. Gustavo delivered a reasonable quote and completed the install without any complications: when we said he would (less than a week out from the quote), on time, no hidden costs, no mess. What you see is what you get - a guy who takes pride in delivering high quality. I would absolutely rehire Gustavo.

Reasonable price. Quick service. They recommend a fix to my problem that I had not considered and provided results that were better than I had anticipated. I will use them again.
We were having flickering lights in our home for several weeks. None of the electronics we called were available for weeks but some didn't call us back. I searched and found Gustavo on Yelp and since he had great reviews decided to message him. He got back to me in less than one hour and arranged to come out today which is a Sunday!
He found that the main breaker was arcing and getting very hot! He drove all the way to San Jose to get the breaker and installed it the same day! His prices were very reasonable as well! We are very pleased he was able to come over on a Sunday and took care of our problem! Thx you Gustavo!
I had a great experience! We replaced 10 ugly Can lights in my kitchen and installed beautiful new flush mount LED lights. He hung a new chandelier and 2 pendant lights over my fireplace, and increased my amps to accommodate the new lighting. ALL DONE TO CODE! Glad I chose a LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. You dont want to mess around with someone who is not LICENSED. Trust me, I lived that nightmare before.
I was in the middle of installing a ceiling fan when I realized I just couldn't figure out the wiring. I needed professional help! I contacted a few electricians I found here, and Gustavo got back to me quickly with a very reasonable quote. He was able to come to my house the same day, was very professional and did great work!

Installed a 240 volt line and an EV charger. They weren't the lowest quote, but in the ballpark. Arrived on time (actually a little early). Installation was perfect. Offered different mounting options to make sure the charger was in a good spot to reach my Volt. They wore booties and laid down plastic sheet while in the house (not sure how they worked in the tiny under house crawl space) and cleaned up everything before they left.
Gus is a true professional.
Like others, I found Gustavo through yelp recommendations.
He was very prompt in responding, and asked several good questions to help make the work go faster.
He showed up on time, and did an excellent job.
I was very satisfied with his work, and can highly recommend him.

I asked Gus to do the electric work for my front yard and backyard, consisting of running underground wires, installing convertor and switches, etc. He came recommended through the company that does landscaping for me. He was very professional and timely in contacting me first, and preparing a written estimate, which detailed all items needed, one by one. He showed up on two separate occasions right on time. He seemed very able and competent in doing everything I asked him to do. I strongly recommend Gus for any electrical work your house might need.
Prompt response, patient, thorough. I highly recommend this fellow!
I went on Yelp Sunday evening and received a response within an hour! I was asked for more information, with suggestions on what I needed to share. After a lengthy correspondence with loads of suggestions and questions, I was able to articulate what I needed. Super electrician!

GLugo Electric did a fantastic job installing recessed lighting in our new home!! Initially had a referral to a recessed light installer but he was booked out. So instead I jumped onto yelp and reached out to several electricians. Some responded and others didn't. GLugo Electric responded quickly asking for best available times for an assessment. Gustavo (owner) came out and we discussed where the recessed lighting would go (master bedroom and family room). For the family room it's on the first floor and doesn't have attic access. So it was going to be a bit tricky to get the recessed lighting installed in that room. Gustavo explained how he was going to do the install and I was pretty comfortable with his approach. He gave me a rough estimate for the install on the spot. I was curious so I asked what would it cost to do the other bedrooms upstairs(3) and the main hallway. He gave a rough estimate as well. I told him we are expecting our second kid in the next month and would like to have this done soon. He said he had availability and would send me a formal quote that evening. He text me later that afternoon asking about size and light temp for the lights. At that moment I told him I chatted with my wife and we would like to have all the rooms done. Since the newborn would be coming soon we didn't want to the burden of doing another install. He said that wouldn't be a problem. He said it would probably take 3 days at most. Gustavo sent me the formal quote and it was very reasonable. He said he could start the job next Monday(it was Wed) and I agreed. Overall the install went smoothly. It only took two days instead of the three which was great. The lights look fantastic and best of all we don't have to worry about doing the installation with a newborn and toddler. Thanks Gustavo!! Def going use GLugo again!

We needed an outlet moved and three new ceiling lights installed. Gustavo responded right away and scheduled to come to our house to give us a quote in person - something we greatly appreciated. Gustavo's quote was very competitive and he came back the next day to complete the work. Everything was done perfectly, including repairing the dry wall where the old outlet had been (something we expected to have to get another contractor to do!). The three new ceiling lights look great. And he even taught us something about the wiring in our new house - a mysterious second box of breakers that we hadn't even known existed!

For 25 garden lights and 8 fountains.
Installed 8 cable security cameras.
Sound system in the family room.

You can count on him to do all your electrical needs

Gustavo was great! He showed up on time and did a fantastic job. I needed a charging station for my electric car. I would use him again without reservation.
Gustavo was awesome. Was able to find the problem with the power being ran to my pool, and fixed it and for a reasonable price. Having him come out again to perform some outlet changes for me. I would highly recommend using this service.

Gus and his team are very professional, smart, fast and come with a battery of equipment to make sure the job gets done correctly and quickly. I have hired Gus on multiple jobs around the home, all of which required drilling in walls and ceilings. Each time he left without a bit of dust on the ground. The guy is good and I recommend highly.
Gustavo did a bunch of work in our new home. No job is too big or too small: he installed a whole bunch of recessed lights, new switches and several smart appliances (Nest cameras, doorbell and smoke detectors). Moved a flush mount from the dining area to the bedroom (the bedroom never had a flush mount, so he had to route wires through the attic). Patched up ceiling after the job was done. Gus does a very thorough job and is very responsive. His work is extremely clean: wears booties every time he enters the home, and covers the floor around his work area, as mentioned by other reviewers. Also did a great job routing/hiding cables for our cameras. A man of few words (needs minimal instructions as well). Very reasonable quotes. Top choice for electrical work.

I had two outlets in my apartment that posed an electrical hazard. I contacted Gustavo and he was able to do the work right away, which I really appreciated. He was very clean and conscientious. He explained the work he was doing, set down a blanket to avoid making any mess, and vacuumed up at the end. Really happy to have safe electrical in this place again :) Thanks Gustavo!
Gave a comprehensive quote and did quality work at a reasonable cost in less than a week after first site visit.
I found Glugo Electric through Yelp quote, who gave me the most reasonable price. Gustavo helped me add an electrical outlet on the wall so that I can mount my TV there. In addition to that, for my TV in another room, he helped cut the hole to hide the wire under the wall. Both works are perfectly done and he is very professional and experienced in the whole process. I would highly recommend him if you need any electrical work!
Absolutely perfect work! I had Gustavo install 3 new pendants, a new canned light in my bath and reroute receptacle for a lighted mirror. After initial inquiry, he responded right away. And was willing to get started ASAP on a Sunday. Work was flawless. He is very polite, quiet and just goes about his work. Finished quickly, quietly and neatly. I liked his work so much I had him install another four canned lights in my living room and a new switch for my patio lights. I gave him free Rein for location and look. Very happy with results. And he was very competing with prices and communicated all along the way. Showed up when he said he would. Finished when he said he would. This is my go to electrician!
Gustavo is fantastic! He is prompt, honest, and professional. He quickly completed all of the work at a fair and honest price. He is the ONLY electrician I will hire from now on. I highly recommend him!
Gustavo was very professional and polite and glad I hired him!Im a very satisfied costumer and surely Im gonna hire him again if I need his services!

Gustavo is hard working, trustworthy and skilled. He will give you an estimate, get you the parts, stay on schedule - and save you money! He gives you options, goes the extra mile to make things easy on you, and sticks to his word. I did some major work at my place (full electric to a new unit, redo patio lights, install motion sensor lights, upgrade fixtures etc) and was very happy. I've recommended him to several of my friends and family after the work he did for me for their small and large jobs - all satisfied customers. The best part is, if you have a bigger job than just electric - he's got a crew that he works with to do any type of construction job. Do yourself a favor and look no further!
Gustavo did a great job installing wiring for a doorbell on my front door. He encountered several issues while doing the install due to some irregularities in my house construction but stayed until the job was done. He was very professional and courteous, I would definitely call him back for any further work.
