After 3 days with a low voltage issue at our shop we haphazardly hired an electrician who's name I will not mentioned who thought troubleshooting was to just replace parts. I was at a loss and needed to get someone who could not only find the problem but fix it and quickly.

I spoke with Rico from High Voltage and I am certainly pleased I did. He is reliable and not only came out when he said he would. Within a couple hours he was able to troubleshoot the issue. He returned the following day with parts and his crew and within that afternoon alone I was up and running.
I will use him as my electrician for my business from this day forward, He is professional, reliable and a pleasure to work with
Thank you Again Rico.

Ricardo and his team were super awesome! Came to our house from across the bay and made it on time!! Super reliable and honest. He came and took a look at our socket issue and will come back again tomorrow to check if there are still any issues! Will definitely recommend! 5 star service!

Ricardo is a great electrician we are lucky to have found. He installed the electrical necessary to install a dishwasher into our in law unit and we will be calling him for future jobs we have in the Bay Area. He was reliable, organized and communicated well. He got the job done quickly when others turned us away due to how little our job was. Thankful to have found his services before the holiday season.

I needed a sub panel replaced, a few outlets in the garage and a 240V ran to the back yard for a hot tub. Ricardo came out and helped me figure out what I needed. When it came time for the work he was on time and did a fantastic job. I will call him for any and all of my electrical needs in the future. Would definitely recommend high Voltage Electric!

Ricardo helped us upgrade our two electrical panels that were 60+ years old. He worked quickly and did a great job installing them. He also installed a ceiling fan in our guest bedroom - a must with a house lacking A/C. He was great to work with from coming out to give a quote to the final product. We look forward to having him back out soon to install a bathroom fan!

No nonsense business! Come in quoo I ck and gets job done. Highly recommended. Will certainly use Ricardo again without hesitation!

Ricardo scheduled a time to come out and look at the job, and when he realized it was a bigger job than he thought he immediately scheduled a followup for the next day. He quickly and efficiently took care of the issue and left us in good shape. Highly recommended!

I am SO HAPPY Ricardo and High Voltage Electric came out. I am a single mom and recently bought a home that needs lots of electrical work. Today Ricardo and his assistant came out and upgraded my sub panel. The outlets in my daughters room kept going out and I noticed other shorts throughout the house.

Ricardo and his assistant were fast, knowledgeable, straight forward, and they were very clean and not to mention very reasonably priced! Another perk was I had to work today (I work from home) and he made sure that I had my wifi while they cut the power to do their work. That was so appreciated!

Up next is my main panel to be redone since the entire house probably hasn't been upgraded by a real licensed person since...ever! And I'm trusting nobody but Ricardo and High Voltage!

Thank you so much! I feel safer already.

I'm glad I reached out to Ricardo. Very professional, friendly, and detail-oriented.

Thank you again, guys!

Ricardo came out to my house with very little notice to fix a problem another electrician had created. He tracked it down and fixed it in under an hour when the person who created tried to tell us It wasn't us. Anything could have happened. (A circuit had been left disconnected from the breaker in sub panel they disassembled) From now on Ricardo is my go to guy for any electric work I need done. The price was very reasonable as well.

Also, he didn't talk to me like I was an idiot which can happen when you're female.

Thomas L.

01/04/2022 12:00:00 SA

Ricardo did the electrical work for our new kitchen adding new circuits for integrated lighting, new oven, cooktop, recessed lights, and a lot more. Ricardo is really friendly, super punctual, works fast, and just does great work. He measured carefully where the recessed lights should go so they're centered and line up, really rigorous and meticulous work. It was a pleasure working with Ricardo. Additionally I felt like his pricing was reasonable compared to other quotes we got, not price gouging us.

Barbara T.

10/27/2021

We want to give a huge thank you to High Voltage! It's been really hard since Covid to get a reliable electrician to come out and diagnosis our electrical problems found in our new home.
When we called, they made an appointment, came out on time, found the issue and likely saved our home from a future electrical fire.
They worked all day without a break to minimize or down time, cleaned up and checked everything.
I highly recommend this company. Awesome response time, professional work and we will use them again.

I just spoke to an electrician that was at my work changing all of our lights from fluorescent for LEDs. I told him I just had mine replaced and asked him if I was charged a reasonable amount. He said the supplies were about $150. Which means I was charged $600 for a 40 minute job. Very disappointing, I thought he was a really nice honest guy, but you just never know.

Sarah M.

4/23/2021

Such an incredibly easy and smooth process. The bid process was easy. I highlighted what I needed. The High Voltage proposal came via email and I was happy to hire them. Ricardo is friendly and the bid was competitive.
When job day arrived, Ricardo and his worker wore masks (the entire job) showing great respect for health, safety and the customer.
I will recommend these guys as many times as I can, having saved his contact info in my phone for easy share.
Thank you for such a smooth and easy process.

Ricardo is professional and gets the job done at a great price.

Very friendly.

Needed a fair amount of work done. Was able to meet all requests. Went from electricity working in some rooms to all rooms.

Happy to work with this company in the future

Ricardo responded to my request the same day and was able to do an onsite inspection for my NEMA 14-50 240v outlet (charge my EV) within a day! He saw what I needed and told me what needed to be done. Like a very straightforward, no-nonsense kind of guy. Great work at a great price!

The job only took like 45 minutes and they even came in the rain! It's been a week and so far the outlet has worked perfectly. If I need any other electrical work and he has availability, he'd be the guy to call

So C.

10/12/2021 12:00:00 SA

Highly recommend if you need an electrician! I called late in the morning and they were able to fit in an appointment on the same day (!). They were exceptionally meticulous in diagnosing the issue and made sure to put everything back where it was. I felt like they were treating my home like it was their own.

Ladies, if you are weary of people talking down to you because you are not an electrician/plumber/auto tech, rest assured that these guys are VERY courteous and will explain issues to you very clearly and in a friendly manner.

In short, I will call them for any future electrician needs and will recommend to friends in the area!

Ricardo and his team did very well fixing our major issues before we moved in months ago, he had to put ground on 11 outlets and a new panels! Very cool and professional guys plus they always give you reasonable price. I would only go to this guys whenever i need major, even minor electrical issues. Good customer service as well!

Ricardo quite simply is the best!! I have had an ongoing dryer issue which would keep turning off within 20 minutes of a cycle. Ricardo was the 5th person to take a look at it and he was able to fix the problem within 1 hour of his visit and I couldn't be happier. Not having a working dryer and having to go to our local laundromat for almost 1 year wears off real soon and is not fun and I am so glad finally a competent electrician was able to figure it out!!! I was losing faith spending a $150 - $200 per visit for diagnosis and not getting the problem resolved.

Thank you so much Ricardo!

Michael L.

8/31/2021

Ricardo was able to come out the same day I called to look at my problem. I needed three new circuits installed for outdoor outlets in different locations. His communication was clear and easy to understand. My particular work needed to be permitted and Ricardo took care of the permit process completely. The city inspector said he was very impressed with the quality of the work. Very happy with High Voltage Electric. Would call again for future work.

Taylor Z.

4/16/2022

Our overhead service was ripped down and we needed our roof riser repaired and permitted before PGE would hook up our power again. Ricardo came out on a Friday and had it back up and installed on Monday. Called for inspection and we got our power back on. Very quick response and on top of the whole process.

Michelle K.

2/24/2020

I can not say enough about how wonderful Ricardo is. He came into a total mess of our electrical box and did incredible work. What we didn't know was we had live wires in the box attached to nothing! Not only did he probably save our house from burning, but he did not leave until it was totally fixed. Now working on a bigger project in Sonoma for us. Decision was easy as we know we can trust the team at High Voltage.

A few lessons learned on my part and the big one is make sure your electrician is license, vetted and reviewed. That how we found this amazing company.

I would hire High Voltage in a New York minute.

My husband and I recently purchased a property that was in serious need of electrical update. I got three different quotes from different Electricians and Ricardo was the most upfront, honest and clear of the three. He didn't try to sell me on things I didn't need and worked very hard to address the electrical issues we had. He moved and updated my sub panel, inspected and replaced all my outlets and wall switches, hard wired my smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, and installed recessed lighting throughout. He even dealt with scheduling and getting the city inspector out to approve everything. Ricardo and his assistant were a pleasure to work with. They were fast and very efficient. They did an excellent job and I have already referred them out to many neighbors and friends. Will use Ricardo again for any and all future electrical needs.

Used high-voltage to install two outlets so I could enjoy the use of my bidet thanks for your prompt service I'm planning to rehire again to update lighting in my home it was a pleasure to work with G & his right hand man.

Ricardo responded so quickly and came out within 12 hours to give us a quote and was back within 24 hours to complete the job. He was professional and honest and clearly spelled out the pros/cons of each solution along with transparent pricing.

I hired Ricardo first time 4 years back to do recess lighting in my house. I had his references from nextdoor. My experience with him and his company has been extremely positive, professional and something I'd like to share and recommend. Ricardo is first of all an expert and he knows what he's doing. Thats plus isnt it! He's upfront in explaining what will work and what will not. He's, I would say reasonable with price as well. He's very professional in his work ethics, on time always and very clear in setting expectations of his work. I hired him again for a second major lighting upgrade project in my house and I'm very happy with his work.
What I like with Ricardo is that he'll respond always and if there's anything that I asked him where he had to come back, he gives time and comes back. In my case this time, he cane back twice , once to fix a chandelier and then second time to fix a switch box.
I would always recommend Ricardo. He's reliable and very clear with explaining things. He's actually very experienced with large projects and he's certainly showed us that.
This might look like an all good review, but thats been my experience with this gentleman and his company. Recommend 100%!

I met Ricardo just over a couple of weeks ago. He was responsive and quick to give me an estimate which was very competitive. Not only he is responsive, he seems knowledgable what needs to be done, and seems has the quick smarts. I would have hired him but we decided to hire locally. I am very happy to recommend Rico as a competent electrician - and I am in the people business (Human Resources:).

1/26/2021

I cannot say enough great things about Ricardo and his work!! We needed to update our recessed lights, add pendants and swap out a chandelier and not only did he complete the work in a timely manner, he gave recommendations along the way when I wasn't sure how bright I wanted the lights or where they should go. For covid safety he always had a mask on in the house, booties for the carpeted areas and cleaned up before he left. He's fabulous and worked around my and my husbands WFH schedule. I'd work with him again without question :)

Marilyn W.

02/08/2021 12:00:00 SA

Ricardo and his team do a great job! He's efficient and thorough. He's installed an outlet for me as well as new outdoor Ring lights. I'll be using his services for other projects as well. Thanks Ricardo for your great work!

Gaspar S.

My wife and I highly recommend Ricardo and his team at High Voltage Electric. He has completed multiple projects for us at our home over the past couple of years, including both small and large scale projects. Most recently he upgraded our home from 100 AMPs to 400 AMPs. The project required multiple approvals from the City of Oakland And PG&E over a 1.5 year period. Ricardo skillfully shepherded us through the process with constant communication, responsiveness, and clarity. This also required him to navigate several Byzantine permit processes during the pandemic. Ultimately the job was completed and he also included a 50 AMP line out to our in ground pool in our yard. Suffice to say that my wife and I were happy with his work and plan to hire him for other projects at our house over the coming years.

03/10/2021 12:00:00 SA

Had an electrical problem crop up with my outdoor lighting and Ricardo was able to quickly fit me into a time slot between his scheduled jobs. He did awesome work, quickly diagnosed the problem and traced it to a faulty sensor. Super happy with the work that was done and I will definitely be using HV Electric for my next electrical project.

03/02/2021 12:00:00 SA

High Voltage Electric was fantastic. They responded quickly to my inquiry on a Saturday night and were out Monday morning. They successfully troubleshooted a long-running and frustrating issue, and also identified and fixed two other issues, all for less than my first electrician who didn't fix anything. Very happy to have them as a go-to electrician now.

Majid S.

Ricardo was simply awesome. He came initially to take a look at the job to provide an estimate and scheduled an appointment few days later. He came right on time and did fantastic job of installing a NEMA 6-50 outlet for EV charging. Pretty happy with his skills and communication.
I will hire him again for other electrical needs.

Ricardo. What can we say about Ricardo and his team? Called him around 1pm and he said he was in San Jose. I thought they were going to be at our house the next day. He told us around 3pm. We were shocked when they showed up early. We told him about the electrical problems we were having. He patiently listened, gave us a quote we were amazed at and got right to work. It was like he could see thru the walls because he knew exactly what was wrong. They were here and gone in just over an hour. Didn't try to upsell us on anything. He knew we just wanted the problems fixed. Everything is perfect now.
Thank you Ricardo
Will use your services again.

My husband and I purchased our first home and needed some electrical work done. We called high Voltage Electric and discussed what we wanted done. Ricardo is extremely knowledgeable in his profession, he helped us transform our home from fan lights to all recess lighting, adding more electrical outlets, security cameras, dusk to dawn outdoor lighting, Because I switched to all led lights, my pge bill has gone down quite a bit. I couldn't be happier, I recommend him every chance I get, he's personable, reliable, punctual, and always communicates with his clients on what he thinks it best, and cost efficient. I

Ricardo is absolutely amazing to work with. He clearly communicates what needs to be done and makes sure everything works well. His prices were fair, his work was great and he always keeps an open communication. I'd highly recommend him.

Joy F.

We have worked with Ricardo on with many of our HVAC installs when owners need a panel upgrade. He is very fair priced, honest and see's to it that his work is done on time and right from the start. We refer him weekly and trust his judgement and expertise over all the others in the area.

You can't go wrong with High Voltage Electric for all your Electric needs.

Over the last 7 years, I have used Ricardo and team for many different projects at our home and also at our rental units. This includes completely redoing the electrical and utility meters for a duplex originally built in 1946. Other projects have been to replace the electric main and subpanels, add a circuit for EV charging and running a line 25' for a receptacle to an outdoor patio area. As an engineer myself, I appreciate Ricardo's neatness of work, attention to detail and adherence to code. High Voltage has very reasonable prices for licensed contractor work.

Fred Z.

10/15/2019

I hired Ricardo to swap out an old fuse sub panel with a new breaker sub panel. He came on time and got the job done quickly and professionally. Ricardo is easy to communicate with and is clear and honest with his prices. For example, he quoted me for dry wall patching but since he didn't have to open the wall, he removed that part from the final price. I would recommend him to others.

Matt S.

Ricardo and his team did a great job. Knowledgable and trustworthy. Strong communicator. I have used him to update fuse boxes and most recently to install a large capacity Generac Generator at my office.

Found Ricardo using the Nextdoor app and Google searches led me here. Ricardo was easy to work with over text/phone and it wasn't hard to get an appointment scheduled. His prices are VERY good/reasonable compared to other people I got quotes from.

My experience with Ricardo was that he was very professional, communicates well, and he goes above and beyond what is promised in the work order. I will definitely be calling him again in the future for my electrical needs. 100% recommend him.

Denise O.

01/05/2019 12:00:00 SA

I Definitely Recommend Ricardo,
He Responded to my needs quick and arrived on time. The electrician also took action to complete the repair promptly. Talked about the items that I needed and set up a time to do the work. Easy to communicate with and efficient. Even hired for a follow up projects.

Gerald C.

Ricardo came out and made the extra effort it required to find the circuit breaker panel two other electricians had failed to find. He kept looking until he found it. Impressive. Plus he was friendly and obviously knowledgeable.

11/30/2020

I hired Ricardo to upgrade my houses service panel. He did the online application with PG&E. Followed up with PG&E arranged for them to come out to unhook the main and hook up it up to the new service panel after he had installed the pole and panel. I didn't have to do anything. I will definitely use him again.

Rasheida J. K.

11/15/2020

I cannot say enough about Ricardo and George- they are the dream team! After I requested a consultation, they kindly explained to a reluctant property manager that yes, sparking breakers on a 34 yr old panel is a potential fire hazard and yes, they could handle immediately. They reworked their entire schedule on short notice for my and my family's peace of mind. They are kind, responsive, professional. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Monica B.

7/24/2019

If you're looking for electrical, this is the person you want!!!!! We did an upgrade on our panel, Ricardo was great he got the job done in a friendly manner. He even pulled the permits with PG&E and with the city. I highly recommend High Voltage Electric

Ian K.

7/16/2020

When you hire anyone to work on your house (or parents house, in my case), you want someone who knows what they are doing, are reliable, trustworthy, honest, reasonably priced and completes the job that you hired them for. Ricardo meets and exceeds all these and more. He was the first to respond to my requests for an electrician to replace our electrical panel and sub-panel, first to stop by and look at what needed to be done, and quick to send a written estimate. He responded to every text message quickly and answered the phone every time I called. Workmanship was of top notch quality, quickly and efficiently done. He even found the time to help me with replacing a wall box I was working on myself and untangled a mess I created trying to replace a standard outlet with a GFCI one. Ricardo clearly knew what he is doing, stayed true to his word and left me feeling extremely satisfied. Needless to say, I highly recommend his services and he will be my first choice for all future electrical projects.

I own a business, and had a breakers issue, kept resetting due to some type of electrical issue. Having electricity is crucial to my business and making money. Called High Voltage Electric and I was given a Free Quote. Ricardo was super nice and reassured me everything would be ok. He was very professional and explained the issue and gave me very reasonable price. Lights are back on. Thank you Ricardo. Would highly recommend!!!

9/25/2018

This review is long over due. Ricardo has been my go to electrician for the past two years for all of my commercial properties, apartment complexes and as well as my own personal home. No job has been to small or too big for him! He is reliable, easy to reach, knowledgeable and most importantly he has very reasonable rates compared to other electricians that I've used in the past. I've recommended him to all of my colleagues, friends, family and would gladly recommend him again. If you're looking for an electrician, he's your go to guy. Call him now!!

Ray X.

01/08/2019 12:00:00 SA

I had Ricardo came out to look at a circuit breaker issue that has been taunting me for the last half year, and also have him check on some wiring issue I couldn't figure out myself, and lastly needed help in adding an outlet. Ricardo came out to check it the next morning and right then he said he can get all 3 done in an hour for a reasonable price, the fact that he responded promptly even I am in San Jose, and he knew and prepared to do all those things in an blink of an eye, I don't judge the cleanup after the job was done since he was in a time crunch as it wasn't even planned that he could finish the whole thing, and he did and I just need to vacuum the Sheetrock debris. Highly recommended!

Ricardo and his team was great. We had a few issues that needed repair within our house - replace an aged electrical panel that was causing shorts, a backyard power problem of unknown origin and a few indoor power sockets that were not working. We had actually also shopped another vendor who also conducted an initial assessment the first vendor was unable to diagnosis the issue and noted that they would need to come out to do a more in depth inspection. The main reason we went with Ricardo, was that he fixed both our backyard and power socket problems within the an hour of his initial assessments through quick and simple fixes of which the other vendor was unable to discover or was trying to upsell me more. His ability to quickly test issues and explain why it was broken provided me the confidence to choose him. The other vendor we had also shopped was more professional looking with marketing flyers, different plan options, dedicated call center, different technicians for different problem types, and strong operating procedures that would make their business scalable and consistent. We decided to go with Ricardo because he was someone that could do it all and we wouldn't get lost or upsold in the process.

Jena M.

11/10/2018 12:00:00 SA

Ricardo was the consummate professional. He went over and above to accommodate me at the last minute. Arrived on time, assessed the problem, fixed the problem and did it at a fair price... I could not ask for anything better! Definitely will seek his services in the future.

John S.

12/06/2019 12:00:00 SA

Needed to replace two panels on a house we just bought. Ricardo was quick, explained everything, handled the permits, and knocked it out. No muss, no fuss. Even came back for a follow-up question we had and checked it out for us. Highly recommend.

Anil S.

8/21/2019

Ricardo was able to come in early in the day to assess the damage caused to the mast by a fallen tree and scheduled to repair it the next day. It is a tricky job because of the terrain but he made it look easy. He is professional, was on time, answered all the questions and got the permit with the city taken care of. Will def. think of him if an electrical need arises again.

Gerry S.

I have used this business several times and can tell you that I would recommend them to my family.. Honest, trustworthy and always punctual. Free quote and professional service is what you should expect from HVE every time!!

Ricardo is wonderful, professional, thorough, energetic. I found him on yelp and he did a good and neat job on putting a 240 v for an Ev and smart switch as well loose connection switch. He accommodating me easily in his busy schedule. I am very happy to recommend him to anyone.

Ricardo did a great job installing the outlet for charging our electric vehicle. His prices were reasonable and he was able to fit us in within a couple days. I will recommend him to anyone I know buying a plug in.
