McGuire Electric

Mike is a wonderful electrician! We were referred to Mike by many of our neighbors and very happy with their advice. Mike helped to put in a 220 v plug for our electric car last year and he did a really good job at an affordable rate. He looked at some of our other wiring issues in our garage and gave us some pointers on that as well.

Recently, we had an issue with our main electrical box and he came over the same day on his day off and was able to get us a temporary solution so we could have power until he is able to return to upgrade our service. We had a couple issues with PG&E and our home warranty and he is helping us navigate through that.

Mike is super experienced, knowledgeable, and very kind. Only downfall is that means he is in high demand so sometimes there is a long wait ;)  
Definitely would recommend!

Mike is outstanding and stands by his work. He's responsive and is always looking out for his customers as opposed to many other electricians that gouge you with exorbitant minimum trip charges before they've done any work.  We've been using McGuire Electric for years and highly recommend!

Mike was great! Honest, helpful and responsive. I highly recommend!!! He did a great job installing 3 fans for us. We had a problem with one of the fans and he did everything he could to help us out. I would hire him again for any future electrical work.

Look no further than McGuire Electric. I've used Mike for both my own residence and income properties. He knows his stuff. His prices are fair unlike so many others.  And, he is probably one of the most skilled electricians I have come across other than the one who build my home for me years ago.

There are no superlatives to describe his quality work-knowledge-and commitment.  You don't want to cut corners with electricity.  It's brain surgery for your properties.

With my local gym, office gym & jiu-jitsu academies closed due to the pandemic, I was forced to make a crucial decision...

1. Give Up
2. Build a home gym

#1 not being an option, the TRUE decision was whether I attempted to carve out a small section of the garage to make a home gym OR kick my car to the literal curb & go all-in. I opted for the latter, forcing me to pull my baby out of the garage (the car that rarely ever sees the light of day), exposing it to all the elements... As a result, the next logical step was ensuring the driveway had some type of monitoring capability (both for the cars + the $ I dropped on gym gear). Opted for the Ring Floodlight, but required a ground-up install since none of the houses in our development had driveway lighting installed by default (NOT a job I was comfortable with attempting myself).

Started with Yelp (though the # of options were overwhelming), with several highly rated suggestions having unrealistic/absurdly high dispatch fees, etc... In efforts to narrow down options, I also did a quick search on NextDoor, with a bulk of the recommendations referring Mike. Gave Mike a call (who of course was busy), but was able to give me both a ballpark quote over the phone + an ETA as to when his schedule would open up. Sure enough (about a week or so later), Mike followed up as promised w/ a date/window that he would be able to complete the job.

Mike gave me a text the day prior to confirm the appointment & also provided guidance as to how much clearance would be needed inside the garage (4-5 ft from the door), also ensuring me (due to our anxiety w/ social distancing, etc...) that all the work could be done in/outside of the garage & he shouldn't have to step foot in the house at all. When Mike arrived (on time, with a text ETA prior to arrival), he began work immediately (though not after a very friendly greeting/introduction) + jokingly thanking me for bringing the shade following a near ~100° temp the day prior. No more than an hour or so later (drilling/hammering in the garage), Mike was soon cleaning up/vacuuming & leaving no trace (other than now a perfectly mounted flood light in the driveway & switch in the garage) that he was ever there. Invoice was exactly as estimated (no surprise fees) & my Ring Floodlight is working flawlessly (now integrated w/ my Echo Show, etc...).

NextDoor didn't fail me, with Mike's stellar reviews further validated by Yelp (great teamwork!). We've got more jobs planned (i.e. generator install & recessed lighting in the family room), but will plan on scheduling once things settle down a bit...

Very happy and more than satisfied with McGuire Electric.  Mike the owner was very personable and friendly.  I highly recommend them.  He and his crew kept the areas they worked on very neat and clean. It's hard to beat 35 years of experience.  Mike is very knowledgeable and highly skilled.

Mike McGuire did a great job at my house installing exterior lights, recessed light fixture replacements, 2 bathroom fresh air exhaust fan and some Ring cameras. Highly recommended.

I left a voicemail message about 8pm to see if they could come fix what I'd thought was a switch/electrical issue with our garbage disposal connection.

Got a text from Mike about 45 minutes later saying he could maybe come this week or for sure next.

Fast forward a few texts and he figured out our problem (by text mind you) and told me the quite (embarrassingly) simple but needed fix and voila, our problem was solved!

Such a nice person to take the time to help over text and not gouge us some minimum service charge etc.

Won't hesitate to call them again when there's a realelectrical problem to deal with.

Thank you thank you!

We called Mike for installing ceiling fans for our bedrooms, exhaust fans for our bathrooms and recess lights for our family room. He is an extremely busy guy and although his appointment was delayed by a couple of months, it was worth the wait. Mike  is an honest, extremely knowledgeable and efficient. He is trustworthy and completes the project in the assigned time. Very easy to work with, clean and punctual. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need to instal ceiling fans, light fixtures including recess lights etc. Thanks Mike for the excellent and professional work.

I've been using McGuire Electric for at least 10 years now.  I moved twice but stayed in the area and still call Mike when I need electrical work. Now I live in Sunny Glen in a 30 year old condo.  Last year he updated the electrical panel in the garage and added a sub panel so I would not have to go outside on a rainy night to flip a switch.

Last week I called him to add light kits to my ceiling fans.  He recommended buying new fans with LED lights built in.  I liked that suggestion and bought two new ceiling fans in white to match the ceiling, with the LED light already mounted. He picked up two 24 matching down tubes I ordered online, and installed the new fans (see example in photo) and He supplied remote control switches with wall holsters.

Mike came out to look at the job to give us some thoughts, on time, he was very professional and really respects the space he is working in, I can't say enough about his work and him personally, def someone I would use again

Called McGuire Electric on Sept 13.  Still waiting for a callback.  In the meantime on Friday Sept 20 we found A-1 Handyman.  Came out in a few hours.

I called McGuire Electric & left a message that one of our bathroom fixtures weren't working. He called me back right away & even though he was very busy that week, he said he'd stop by after his last appt on Friday. He was true to his word, was very friendly ( he gets extra points for being so personable at the end of the day on a Friday!) & fixed our bathroom fixture & my son now has light in his bathroom! I put his card up on the board- he will definitely be the one I call for any future electrical needs.

Michael did great work for us. He was able to install a light into our ceiling quickly, cleanly and at a very reasonable rate. We are very happy with the work and would definitely call him for any future work we had or refer him to others.

He provided great communication and got the job done very quickly.

Thanks, Mike!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mike McGuire of McGuire Electric.

We had lost power to our porch light and 2 walls in the living room. Mike stopped on short notice on his way home and solved our problem in 30 minutes. He also diagnosed 2 other  concerns with outdoor sensor lights so that we could then take care of that simple concern ourselves.

He recommended a timer that would turn our porch light on and off at all times of the year (both regular and daylight saving times) without our ever having to adjust it.  He installed it quickly on his way home the following day.

Mike is pleasant, diagnoses and repairs the problem efficiently and quickly and the price was right.

We highly recommend him , as have several of our neighbors, who referred  him to us.

Michael was extremely thorough in his analysis of our electrical situation at our home. He pinpointed the issue and had reasonable suggestions on how to resolve the problem. He was very proactive in calling us to make sure our appointment was still on and then followed up afterwards. Awesome customer service!

Michael is a great electrician.  He is thorough, gives me options, and discusses the pros and cons of an older house.  My home was built in 1937 and I've gradually upgraded the electrical.  He doesn't try to sell me what I don't need.  He is always on time and gets the job done in the time he says it will take.

I've used him twice and will use him again.

I had a situation where the 110V outlet in my garage which charges my chevy volt got heated and burnt. I called several electricians and could not get a professional response from anyone because they were too busy or did not bother returning calls. However I called Mike directly and he immediately agreed to stop by the next morning to take a look. He kept his word and was able to fix the issue in less than 20 mins. I plan to use his services again to install a 220V charger as well as other things around the house. Thanks Mike for being professional, courteous and keeping your word.

Really impressed with McGuire Electric. We have an older home which had virtually no overhead lighting.  Subsequently, we had McGuire Electric install 20 + recessed lights throughout our home. Mike and his assistant Jack were hard working, friendly, and the end result looks amazing!  Thank you!

I contacted McGuire Electric and received a call back from Mike.  I needed a outdoor outlet replaced on a short notice and Mike was able to accommodate me by replacing the outlet in a short amount of time.  Mike was prompt, professional and friendly.  I will be contacting Mike for future needs and referring him to all of my friends, family and neighbors.

Mike arrived on time, knew his stuff and repaired my shorted out 240 volt kitchen oven circuit - even helped me remount the oven in it's cabinet - what nice guy.  My first use of his skills but not my last

Mike is a phenomenal electrician who gets the job done quickly, safely and as cost effectively as possible.

We were in a pinch and needed an electrician the day before a long weekend.  Even though Mike was completely booked up, he came at the end of his workday and took his time fixing our issue.

I would not hesitate to recommend him in the future!

Michael is a great and honest guy.  

He did quality work on my home installing a new electrical panel, front lights, and fixing some stuff out of code.  

Prices were fair and he even gave a time discount for me helping to snake wires through the walls.

He's very busy so book in advance!

I had a list of little jobs and called McGuire Electric.  He was in the middle of his busy season but was still able to come out to see what was needed for the various jobs.  He then returned when everything had been ordered and came in.  Extremely efficient, professional, reasonable and just all around nice.  I have already recommended to three people and plan to keep on doing so.  The only way you could go wrong would be if you did NOT call McGuire Electric!

According to my experience, Michael McGuire is a qualified professional. He is competent, efficient, and reasonable. He quickly diagnosed the problems we had, explained them to us, and fixed them in a timely manner.
it was our pleasure to deal with Mike. We will definitely use his service in the future and would recommend him to anyone who needs an electrician.

My clothes washer stopped working mid-cycle. I was in a bind. Called Mike and he was able to fit us in the same day to diagnose the problem. I found him friendly, honest, very reasonable, and extremely competent. I wouldn't hesitate using him again for any future work.

Mike is a straight-up honest and hard working guy, who is easy to talk with and gets the job done.  He put up recessed lights with dimmers for us in the family room, loft, and master.  He also put up a couple of pendants above the breakfast nook.  Great job with nothing to complain about.  

He initially thought he might need to cut a hole in the family room to get the job done, but he was creative and got it done via the adjacent garage.  No hole in ceiling and everything works great!

When I first met him and got his quote, I knew we didn't have to ask anyone else for the job.   I highly recommend him!

Before I even called Michael, I searched all over Google to find out some reviews on him, because Yelp only showed 1 review, and that's not much to go by.  I found out that some local realtors had him on their recommended list, and decided to give him a call.  After speaking with him, I found out that he has over 20 years of experience, so that sounded good.  I had him come over today to do some work for me and clearly, this guy knows his business.  The work was done quickly, efficiently, and at a fair price.  I would recommend him without hesitation.

If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable and professional electrician, you should look no further. This is the guy you should use - hands down.

I called Michael to ask if he'd give a quote to fix an annoying surge of electricity in my house. I had several contractor quotes as I was thinking of remodeling. At least 3 of them told me that I needed to replace my fuse box, and it would cost ~$5000-$7000 + cost of city permit. I made an appointment with Michael to come out and quote/repair. He did advise that I first call PG&E and they will come out for free to check if it's a problem on their end. I took Michael's advice, PG&E sent someone out that day (Sunday) and found that there was an issue with their equipment on the exterior of my house. It cost me NOTHING for the repair!

I have NEVER run across a service professional with such honesty and integrity. Although I cancelled my appointment with Michael, he is going to be the ONLY electrician I ever call for any electrical needs. It doesn't get any better than this!

We wanted to have recessed lighting installed in our living room and dining room and replace existing light fixtures in the kitchen and laundry. Mike was very professional and easy to work with. He provided a detailed quote and completed the work in 2 days. Each day he came on time and cleaned up throughly. Mike does not do drywall repair and referred us to Frank who also did an excellent job. Overall the price and quality of the work was excellent and I would hire Mike for any electrical needs in the future.

Mike did a number of electrical changes to the electrics in our home and ran new services for all our new kitchen appliances and various lights inside and outside.  Mike did the work quickly, effectively, and his price was reasonable. I would say Mike went above and beyond and delivered excellently on everything he had to do.

I highly recommend him!

I contacted McGuire Electric and received a response the very next day. Mike was professional and very knowledgeable. I plan on working with him again in the future! I would definitely recommend McGuire Electric!

I contacted many electricians to get a quote to have four ceiling fans and outlets, ceiling lights  added to my house and perhaps add lights outside the garage. It wasn't till I found and contacted Mike at McGuire Electric that I knew I felt comfortable giving my business to someone that I can trust! We liked him immediately. His inspection of the site was on-time and the estimate for the job was quite reasonable and lower than all the rest. He absolutely answered our calls and answered all questions. When he started the job, he was very professional, courteous and meticulous. He covered all of the working area to keep things clean, used his years of experience and wisdom to only make the minimum cuts that were needed to add new wiring in walls and ceiling. Absolutely amazing how little damage/cuts was done! He never tried to pile on frivolous new work or charges to the job and installed all the needed parts himself so I didn't need to buy anything extra (including light bulbs). Work was done quickly and it's GREAT!!!!! We love it. He also recommended a Sheetrock repair expert that fixed/patched things up cheap as if nothing was ever touched. Great job on his part too.
Oh.. did I mention Mike is also very punctual? If you're looking for honesty, professionalism and a great outcome that you're going to enjoy for years to come, call McGuire Electric! Thank you Mike.

I used them at my home about a year ago and forgot to yelp them. Now I needed some help with an apartment that I manage and immediately located their number for assistance. Good electricians are so hard to find!

I would hire Michael McGuire again in a heartbeat.  Nice to work with someone who is very competent, efficient, and is easy to talk with.  He eased my condo visit between two jobs and solved my electrical problems quickly.  I now feel safe using my heaters.  I'm so glad to know that he exists!

Michael McGuire was used by our general contractor, Homestead Remodeling, to check on a short in our finished kitchen.   Found it within 15 minutes.  He is a really honest, excellent electrician!  Highly recommended!

I've used Michael twice now.  He's always on time and completes the job and cleans up the mess.

Has suggestions to make the job less expensive and he does excellent work.

I would recommend him to anyone.

We used Michael for a collection of wiring/installation projects that we had been accumulating for several years.  The triggering event for finally bringing in an electrician was our purchase of a new spa, which required the installation of a new power line out to the spa area (down from our central breaker panel in the center of the house, through the crawlspace, and out to the spa).  We also had him install a convenience outlet near the spa for future use, install 4 new recessed lighting fixtures and two wall sconces in the dining room, along with new dimmer switches (necessitating work in our unfinished attic), installation of a new outlet in our laundry room, and installation of a new light in the stairs leading from our garage into the house.

Michael's work was careful, clean, and precise, and completed well within his estimate of the time it would take.  He was responsive, communicative (i.e., he returns call promptly, can explain the pluses/minuses of alternatives, and offered specific recommendations for some of the fixtures needed for our jobs, which we bought and provided).  He was very helpful in deciding among the various possible options for some of these projects, and he was quick to suggest alternatives that would save us money.

Best of all, Michael's fee for doing this work (some of which we added after we initially contracted with him) was significantly less than two other bids we solicited.  Not surprisingly, we give Michael our highest recommendation!

Mr. McGuire is prompt, does great work and is an excellent communicator. I would highly recommed him to any of my friends and co-workers. He is reasonably priced and knows his stuff. If you need any electrical work done at your home or work dont hesitate to call him. 5* rating from someone who has had tons of work and workers to their home. Good stuff!

We had three projects and he was great with the electrical work.  He is fast, efficient, had everything he needed and more.  He installed two additional outlets above what we had requested.  I would definitely recommend him for electrical work.

Excellent communications. Made thoughtful recommendations. His quote was reasonable. We are very happy with the quality of his work. Because of all the positive reviews I was willing to wait. Fortunately he was able to fit us into his schedule sooner than expected.

Mike is a good guy and electrician.  He takes the time to ask questions and works with you to provide the solution you need.  Pricing is really fair.  He worked with our tight timeline and really worked hard to ensure our project was done on time with surprises.  Left our home cleaner than he found it.  Thanks!
