Contacted Velo for an estimate and Carlos was quick to answer. He was tentative and responsive of any and all questions and concerns I had. On day of service he was prompt and provided confirmation when he was on his was. He was on time and provided the necessary services I requested as well as providing me with further options for down the road projects I was looking to complete. All without being pushy. Overall he installed my Tesla wall charger within 2-3 hours. I highly recommend Velo Electric. He is the best in the business for quality and pricing. Carlos is very honest and trustworthy, for sure he just won a repeating customer! I will without a doubt be dealing more business with him and recommending him to all of my family and friends.

We had Carlos do some electrical work for us and he did a really good job.  I appreciated the great communication as well.  He proposed a better way to accomplish what we needed and it was much less cost than I expected!  In addition I have requested some quotes for future projects and they were all very reasonable quotes.

Carlos provided an estimate upfront. He pointed out that my original plan did not comply with the code and suggested a compliant solution with reasonable price. The work was done perfectly.

I contacted Velo Electric for a quote on the installation of a 240V outlet for EV charging. Carlos quickly replied and asked for a photo of my electric panel to provide an accurate quote. Carlos provided a very reasonable quote so I accepted and he came a few days later to do the job. Carlos was professional and answered all questions I had before installation. I'll definitely use his service again for my future electrical projects.

Helped me install a nema 14-50 outlet for a tesla mobile charger. Fitted me in his schedule same day. Was very good about giving me an eta before arriving.

Performed the job quick and professionally. Didn't have any trouble with the flex conduit another electrician didn't want to deal with.

Carlos quote me a fair price. He was patience to respond all my questions over the phone and even more questions when doing the job.
Installed an EV Outlet, before starting the job he explained to me all the possibilities on how the outlet could be installed. He did a pretty good job and finished in a single visit, he was very nice and helpful explaining to me what all the circuits in my home go.
I would definitely recommend him for your electrical needs.

Carlos helped me install an outdoor outlet and troubleshoot an indoor wiring issue. He was knowledgeable, professional, and did a quality job with all issues. The best part was the communication throughout the whole process was excellent. He was very responsive to questions prior to the visit which I really appreciated. I plan to use his services for future electrical issues and would highly recommend him to anyone else.

We've had Velo Electric come out twice to install two separate NEMA 14-50 outlets in our garage. Rates are competitive with other electricians but the communication and turnaround time is where they excel. The second install was a little bit more complicated than the first but Carlos still did an excellent job making it very clean and well incorporated around the obstacles in the garage. Very professional and friendly service! Highly recommend Velo Electric.

We had Carlos install a Tesla supercharger unit in our garage. He was very responsive by email and gave an estimate after viewing 3 photos I sent him. But after meeting him in person and his examination of my installation, the estimate became higher. However his new estimate seemed fair, so I agreed for him to install the Tesla unit which he did in about 4 hours. I would highly recommend Carlos because he was very informative and honest. He is easy to talk to and will answer any electrical questions you might have.

The last electrician we called out to install a socket showed up three hours late, doubled his estimate, and walked out the door without doing a thing. We called Velo and Carlos came out on time, did a very professional job, cleaned up any dust from drilling, and beat the prior estimate too! We couldn't be happier. Thank you!!

*May 26, 2020 update: I requested service Velo Electric for two repairs -- converting a phone jack into an electrical outlet and installing a GFCI electrical outlet in the bathroom so that I can outfit my toilet with a Toto washlet.

Carlos is punctual, knowledgeable, and efficient. In no more than two-and-a-half hours, he completed the work. Part of the electrical work prompted Carlos to plug in my router/modem into another outlet so that internet service would not be disconnected (I am working from home). That was thoughtful of Carlos to get an extension cord to enable me to work uninterrupted.

Considering today is the hottest day of May 2020 and accessing the attic was part of the work, I am very appreciative of Carlos' willingness to visit at his earliest opening.

Thank you Carlos. You are the best of the best!

Carlos was awesome. Very responsive on both phone calls and texting. Provided reasonable estimate, did the job in the time he quoted. He and Mickey were professional. We had 4 rooms and a living space updated with recessed lighting and dimmable switches. They ensured there was proper dust management in all the rooms and covered all furniture. We're already planning to work with them again and hope others will use them too.

My room has power!

My room was out of power for I kid you not ... ONE WHOLE WEEK. The issue was weird. I was on my computer, ceiling fan on, lights off and nothing more. The power suddenly shut off and I hear a pop somewhere ... I check the breakers and one was tripped.

I thought, okay cool no worries. Flip it back and ohhh man! Nothing. Me and my dad try to diagnose the situation since my dad has some experience with electrical but this was beyond what experience he or I may have. This hurts all the more since I'm a college student with finals coming up ... yup, NEXT WEEK.

I send out quotes and Carlos from Velo Electric responds in under an hour with a reasonable and fair quote. I sent out 4 quotes this day and I've yet to get one back while others could not even provide a quote. I made an appointment with him and his communication is great, he lets me know if there may be any delays whatsoever so that someone could be present.

He fixed our issue on his first visit, but then we had another issue. The following day Carlos fit us into his busy work day just to diagnose and remedy the situation. Me and my family are very appreciative and thankful because 3 rooms were affected, not just mine. He figured out the problem and was in and out in under 2 hours. He brought another employee named Harley; both very hard workers!

Very laid back, professional and honest people. I will be going to Velo Electric should I or my family have any electrical issues. We've already recommended Velo Electric to my brother and his fiance in the event they experience electrical worries in their house.  Thanks for all your hard work!

I actually found out about Velo Electric through a Home Depot pro installation request. There were a few other businesses who contacted me, but I went with Carlos because he was among the first to reach out, and was responsive and provided a fair estimate in a timely manner.

What I needed help with was a bathroom exhaust fan installation, and Carlos was a great help in answering my questions and went ahead and picked up the recommended fan for me. He made the entire process as simple and efficient as possible, was even able to get the install scheduled sooner than I thought. Overall, I would definitely work with Carlos again on future projects for the house!

As a second-time customer, I was disappointed in the job that was done (8/25/2020).  The communication and responsiveness was lacking which required more follow-ups than the first time.

Quality of work is still good, but the customer service this time was below average.  An item in my yard went missing, and later found to be broken when the security cameras were reviewed.

I was hoping to have found a trusted electrician to work on all of my properties.

Velo Electric is my go-to expert for all electrical projects. I'm always very happy with the results of Carlos' excellent work. Some recent example projects Velo completed include:

Installing several outdoor Nest cameras with hidden wires and power through the attic
Installing ceiling-mounted VR lighthouse emitters
Installing ceiling fans

Carlos has replaced a sub-panel and rewired part of the house that we recently purchased. He is very knowledgeable, effective, friendly, and professional. He responses our phone calls, texts, and emails promptly, and answers all of our questions. There was a little miscommunication at the beginning. But once we sorted the things out, he is great! He shows up on time and does a good job. We thoroughly enjoyed to work with him. We will definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

No-show, not once, but TWICE! I understand these are difficult times, which is why I'll still give 2 stars, but they certainly could have declined the job rather than have me waste a month...

Incredibly responsive, super communicative. Came out after closing on the same day after I requested in the afternoon for service. Charged best rates and I shopped around to quite a few service providers. Will continue to use for future electrical services. Highly recommend.

Let there be light!

Velo Electric saved my life about two weeks ago while working from home. I recently had an AC unit installed in my home office during the shelter in place. My job requires me to conduct several video calls throughout the day with my clients. In the middle of my work, the lights and my electricity suddenly shut off. I tried resetting the breakers myself 3 times but NOTHING worked. I gave Velo Electric a call and they said they could fit me within their busy schedule and he came within 30 minutes of confirming my appointment. Super fast! He quickly diagnosed the problem and found out one of my breaker switches just needed to be replaced and provided a refurbished one and installed it. A true professional, i will always call Velo Electric for all future electrical issues.

Carlos was excellent from start to finish. His quote was detailed and broke down all the parts and labor. He was diligent and careful with our house and working with the other drywall contractors. He was flexible enough to add some additional work as needed when we decided to do some extra work while he was there. We also did extra work with him partly because we could see how well his work was going. His estimates in labor time and parts were very close to final price and I appreciated his experience and clear communication. Would definitely recommend and hire again.

I just received another THREAT from Carlos at Velo Electrics within 1 min after posting my review and photos. He THREATENED to LIEN my house and SUE me for defamation if I don't remove my review. Please see attached texts. Below is the original post.
***************************************************
This is a NIGHTMARE. This guy THREATENED me.

1. DO NOT get this guy Carlos for service.
2. The incident happened on 12/20 around 8 pm.
3. Based on our text conversation, Carlos was supposed to install a used main breaker $120 in my house assuming my main breaker was broken.
4. When Carlos arrived, he told my tenant he had to go to Home Depot to get a new breaker, and he told my tenant my main breaker all burned out.
5. When I arrived, I asked Carlos why did he have to go to Home Depot and Why did he put two small old breakers (40 and 50 amp) instead of the one (90 amp) we agreed upon? Carlos got a bit angry and emphasized it does not matter, let's get your power on first.
6. Carlos further warned me the way he installed the breaker is not up to code and he needed to get me a new main breaker for $400, so it was only a temporary solution.
7. Carlos said since the new breaker would cost me $400, and the test results from other small breakers were all bad too, he suggested me to change the whole panel for $400 or I would have the same problem again. I almost agreed on that until I clarified there was additional labor charge $1200.
8. Carlos verified 100 amp breaker would work with this panel. I remembered I saw the 100 amp breaker in Home Depot only costs around $40.
9. I was afraid Carlos was trying to rip me off, so I asked for my main breaker back which he hid in his bag. I asked Carlos why there was NO sign of burning on my main breaker. He did not answer.
10. I told Carlos I would get my own new breaker the next day. And I verified with him since the two small old breakers he installed was not up to code and not the parts we agreed upon, he could not charge me another trip fee $215 when he came back the next day. He said YES, but he wanted me to get the new breaker within one week or he had to come back to take off those two small old breakers or he would get trouble.
11. At the time of his leaving, Carlos wanted me to pay $390 because he used two breakers. I did not think he complete the job, and the parts were not we agreed upon and not up to code. So I refused to pay till he came back the next day to install the new breaker.
12. Carlos threatened me he would take off those two small old breakers and I would not have power for the night. I insisted if he took off those two breakers, he needed to put my main breaker back on, and I would report his unethical conduct to the license board. Carlos said, DON'T WORRY, YOU GOT FREE SERVICE FOR TONIGHT.
12. Guess what? My old breaker was working fine. Carlos suddenly asked me to pay $215 trip fees or he was going to LIEN my house. He immediately took out his phone and took a photo of me with my house number.
13. I had reported Carlos to the license board.
14. My construction friend checked my panel yesterday and confirmed nothing wrong with all my breakers neither the panel. So I almost got ripped off $2000.

I really appreciate Carlos quick response from the get-go. Reached out to him and a couple other electricians on a weekend. His reply was prompt and professional.
Showed up as promised, went ahead to figure out what was wrong with my dryer outlet. Explained to me why things went bad, and how he planned to fix it and prevent the same issue. Very neat and sturdy work. Would recommend.

My pool pumps went kaput.  Based on the excellent reviews I called up Velo Electric for the repair. Carlos was very professional, very easy to communicate with, and punctual. He was able to quickly diagnose the problem with the prior installation which caused the pump burn-out so re-configured the breaker fuses to work properly and safely. He installed new breakers in a proper configuration and a new protective outdoor electrical box with new wiring and pump and sweep timers to replace the corroded 40 year box, an electrical hazard and accident just waiting to happen really. Now I have peace of mind.  I thoroughly enjoyed working with Carlos and on that basis contracted with him to help me install external floodlight security cameras for my house.  I will cover that installation in a separate review.  Bottom line: I HIGHLY recommend Carlos.
====================================================
Here is my security camera installation review of Velo Electric (I tried to post a follow up review but yelp deleted my prior one, so I'm posting this here).  Based upon the great work Carlos did on my pool pump electricals (breakers, timers, outside electrical box), I contracted with him to help me install external security floodlight cameras for my house. He also installed a several non-floodlight cameras, and cleaned up some poorly installed outdoor sprinkler timer wiring. The installation required co-ordination and adjustment of the outdoor cameras  by Carlos and myself. As I brought each camera up onto my security network, Carlos assisted me to adjust them physically for the right view. In my opinion, we worked together well, he on his ladder (my floodlights are up very high) and me on my smartphone, so we were able to complete all installations in one day. Carlos also helped me choose the correct equipment since some were hardwired to junction boxes, others solar connected. If you're looking for professional electrical help with security camera installation, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Carlos since my experience with him was EXTREMELY satisfactory.  Thank you Carlos!

I was putting up my Christmas lights, and when I plugged in the lights, my porch light came out of the socket! I was worried about leaving wires exposed with the light dangling, and a storm was coming in. This was last Friday, Dec 6th. I looked on Yelp and found a couple electricians, and Carlos was able to come the same afternoon! He was prompt, very professional, and friendly. The service call was reasonable - $165, plus a nominal $4 fee due to me using a credit card. He provided his own ladder and equipment, and also guaranteed his work. The job took only about 25 minutes. The porch light is secure, and I feel much better. Carlos did an awesome job, and I would highly recommend him for electrical jobs. He's awesome!

Carlos was here 10 minutes ago to take care of fuse in the circuit breaker box short (?) problem that cause half of my house without electricity including air-conditioner. I was panicky to find out the aircon is not working around lunch time. It's unbearable without aircon in this scorching hot whether.

Called around (around 12:30) and Carlos responded the first and managed to come to take care the problem (around 3:30). He is courteous and knowledgeable. The charge is also reasonable.

Highly recommended

Worked with Carlos on a (seemingly) simple wiring run for a newly renovated commercial building. He was prompt in response and was able to come out quickly to check things out.

Onsite, we discovered a few issues that ended up affecting the scope of the project. Carlos was diligent in checking for any possible way to resolve the problem at hand, all while dealing with us frantically trying to call building management for information and confirmations.

I can't recommend Carlos enough. This was a weird project given the onsite hiccups, but he was professional, personable, and clearly knew what he was doing. He quoted us a very fair price and worked with us in our unique situation. He's definitely now #1 on my shortlist for any electrical or wiring work we may need done in the future.

Carlos was easy to connect with and responsive to messages about the work and scheduling. It was a small project and previously I had trouble finding an electrician that wanted to come out for the two hours of work I needed. Carlos arrived on time, worked quickly, and cleaned up the area when he was done. If I need additional electrical work in the future, I'll definitely be using him again!

Carlos replied and came to diagnostic, he quickly find out the problem is the converter. very helpful and professional!

When I chose Velo i was a little concerned since he had 5 reviews. But wow he was great, the 5 reviews must be because people don't yelp or something. He was  responsive, professional in the scheduling and the actual work delivered. He showed up on time and got done all the things we needed, cleaned up so it was like he was never there. They installed some ceiling fans and fixed some old wiring done by others that I had some concerns about. He looked it all over and saw what was good and what needed some fixing. Carlos is my guy for electrical work from now on. If you need an electrician (and he's licensed) he can be your guy as well.

Thanks Carlos.

We hired Velo Electric to properly finish a previous electrician's work that didn't pass inspection for various reasons. We also had Carlos add an outlet for a ceiling fan, plus a new outlet in a bathroom. The work was all completed in a timely manner and on budget. When I went back later to hang that ceiling fan I was immediately impressed by the attention to detail in his electrical work. Everything was done properly, even the tiny / hidden items that most customers might never notice.

I put a bid out n order to get a NEMA 14-50 installed in my garage for EV charging.  Carlos was not only competitively priced, but way more responsive than others.  Because of that, I went with Carlos and Velo Electric.  There was a slight misunderstanding around scheduling due to the holiday season, however Carlos took ownership of this misunderstanding and provided a discount.  This gesture shows how professional Carlos is and how he takes care of his customers.  I would have no problem working and/or recommending Carlos.

Carlos did a great job of relocating a subpanel for me. It was located in a loft in the gararge and I wanted brought down to Garage wall. I'm not as young as I used to be, so getting up in the loft to access a tripped breaker is going to only get more difficult. If you want an honest and responsive electrician Velo Electric is who to call.

I rarely write reviews and only save them for really good ones.  We contacted Carlos to help us complete an electrical connection for our store.  He's patient, knowledgeable and very well spoken.  He ended up being a great asset in finding out there were other issues with the wiring in our store.  He spent time explaining to us what needed to be changed.  He then advised us to go back to the engineering company that we hired (and paid a lot for) to let them know.  They admitted their mistake and reconfigured the wiring plans.  Thanks Carlos for helping us catch that.  We are in the food business and would definitely hire Carlos for our next ventures.

Very happy with the work. Had a larger local company advise we had to shut off our power and do an emergency panel upgrade. Asked for a 2nd opinion and Carlos came and explained panel was not in the shape previous company described and did some work at more than half off what other quotes were. It is hard to find someone trustworthy who isn't just trying to upsell or scare Homeowners Into making unnecessary decisions and Carlos was one of the first people who really broke everything down and in an honest way to give full picture of situation. He has a great demeanor and easy to talk with. Would recommend reaching out to him with issues as you won't be disappointed

If I could give Carlos 10 stars I would!!  This is one of the best contractor experiences we've ever had, and we've remodeled a lot of homes.   I wanted to replace our old chandelier over the kitchen island with hanging pendant lights and I had called around for estimates. Carlos called me back the same day and I sent him photos of what we had and what we wanted to do. He gave me an estimate the next day; it was reasonable and he scheduled a date when he could do the work.   When he arrived at the house and saw me in house slippers, he immediately removed his work boots and proceeded to cover my kitchen cabinets and counter with plastic to protect from the dust of cutting ceiling sheetrock.  His work is meticulous, and he checked with me on the spacing of the lights to make sure it is what I wanted.   He really listens to what the customer is saying they want.  My kitchen looks beautiful with the hanging pendants, AND... he left my counters and floors clean when he left!!

I am so glad we found him, and will be calling him back for more electrical work when we are ready to do it. If you need an electrician that is honest, reasonably priced, and cares about his customers call Carlos, you will be glad you did!!!

Carlos Velo responded promptly to my request for quote on electric panel upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp; gave a good quote; told me what to expect in terms of timing from PGE,city permitting, and his schedule; arrived when he said he would; and completed work in highly professional manner. I'm generally not the easiest grader, but he earned five stars or more!  I couldn't be happier.

My neighbor right next door asked me about installing a new electric panel for their townhouse where we share a wall. They received a very high quote from someone so I looked area in my area since it was a project I had been thinking about doing as well. I searched and had a few quotes for both of us. Carlos came right out, gave us a quote we agreed upon and he did the work yesterday! It is not an easy job but got the permits and approval from Saratoga and PGE. Everything went smoothly and very professional, which is hard to find these days. I highly recommend his business.

I'm so happy with the work that was done by Carlos and his team. Whenever I need an electrician, Velo Electric will be my first call. These guys were awesome! Carlos was the first to respond when I asked for a quote from multiple companies and his price was so much more affordable/reasonable than his counterparts. He also gave me a detailed breakdown of what had to be done for the job and the costs which made me feel at ease. He was very flexible on his availability and was in constant communication with me from the time I requested the quote until he left my house. He and his partner, Harley, were very professional and friendly. They were very efficient, got the job done quickly and properly! Now, a month later, everything is still perfect! The electricity and fixtures in the rooms he worked on are, finally, how they always should have been!

I enjoy the quick response and excellent service provided by Carlos Velo. The smoke detectors of my home have been beeping quite often and created lots of noises. Upon the advice of friends, I tried the yelp to find certified electrician to come to help and asked for the cost. Carlos is so nice and quick to respond to my request for help and gives me a reasonable quote. Incredibly, he find time and came several hours later to replace and wire new smoke detectors. Carlos' company definitely adopts customer-centered service. What a pleasant experience! I strongly recommend Carlos without any hesitation if you need help.

Great service and professionalism. Amazing ability to adapt and put full effort in to make our install go perfectly.  Always a challenge to find people that put value and pride into their craft. Very much impressed with Carlos. Will use again in future.

I needed to have a Sense home energy monitor installed. Carlos asked the right questions, gave me a quote, and then came by that evening to install it which he did quickly, while also giving us some tips about our panel. I would definitely use his services again!

My Restaurant had some electrical issue that had power shut off on half of the socket. Message Carlos on yelp and he was able to come same day (Sunday) for repair at 7pm!!! He troubleshoot and attempt to fix the problem until midnight. Missing some part so had to wait until morning, but he was able to push off some job to accommodate us and got us power back before we open on monday. Very responsible and highly recommend!!!

I called Carlos to fix a tripped kitchen outlet due to over loading.  I thought it was gonna be hard to find someone to fix such a small job but Carlos treated it just like a regular job. He added a GFCI outlet and asked if I wanted to tie it to another couple of outlets so if something get tripped all outlets get tripped so I thought that might be a good idea so he did it.  I paid him which I thought was reasonable and he was very professional. Unfortunately tying my outlets together became a problem since one would trip and all would have to be re-set. and It became a major issue shutting down our microwave each time. I thought to myself how am I  gonna get Carlos to get back out here and fix it without costing me more money.  I informed Carlos of the issue he had no problem coming out as soon as he could, re-wired the outlet and did not charge me for his time.  Carlos is a very honest and professional individual and if I have any other issues I would definitely use him again!
