Best Electricians in California

After reading Yelp reviews from others, I requested an estimate online and Dan was super responsive via email and asked me to send him pictures.  He determined he couldn't do the job and recommended another firm.  But he offered to come by and look at it and give me advice.  So he came over on a Saturday and was really helpful.  He went above and beyond!

No invoice, cash only. Do not provide after service.
No guarantee on work after a week

Jeremy at Got Watts is great.  Amazing work,  quick and clean, all while his quote was better than the rest.

I especially liked the walk through he gave me on all the work he did upon completion. Would highly recommend.

We called Hancock to install a 220v outlet and our JuiceBox 40 amp EV charger.  He came out the same day (within an hour!) and quickly installed it at a reasonable price.  He was very friendly and explained everything to us.  Also very professional.  We highly recommend him for your electrical work.

Steve is a great electrician and has very fair pricing.  We had a number of projects where I needed help including adding a 240V outlet in the garage for an electric car.  He came out on time and got everything done efficiently and we were very happy.  I would recommend Steve to anybody looking for an electrician.

The thermostate had died over the weekend, and it was too chilly during the nights for any comfort even when wearing the house robe.
 
I called the company on Monday for an appointment, made for Tuesday  between 8 AM and 10 AM.
Got a phone call at 7:30 AM on Tuesday that left a message that the man is on his way, and a few minutes before 8 he is knocking at my door.

Jeff was the man of the hour!  He explained everything that he was doing, and whatever he would do as he went along.  I was provided with the latest
model of thermostate, and how to use it for home comfort with energy savings. I was always getting email notices from PG&E as to saving energy,
and reducing billings.
For the time, effort and arrangements for future needs, the cost was very
reasonable.

Jason is a rock star.
I hesitate to say too many good things or he may not be available for us next time.
[just bein' honest!]
I called 4 electricians who were referrals from my handyman, and none of them got back with me. ( I really hate when that happens, even if you are busy. Just let your potential clients know this! )
But Jason worked us in, no matter how busy he is.
He has helped us several times now.
He is straight shooter and I found him here on Yelp.
Very happy with this man and his workmanship.

Jon came to give me an estimate on installing an electric car charger within hours of my call.  He took a look at the set up of the electrical service in my home and recommended the best course of action to get the installation completed.  We agreed that a replacement sub panel should be installed to expend breaker space.  Alex arrived the next day with the materials to begin the installation.  He completed the work quickly and professionally.  He was very polite, took time to confirm the work and to make sure shutting the power off worked with my schedule.  He left the space clean and tidy with no mess from the work needed to make space for the bigger panel.  Power was back on before I knew it and the car charges 10X faster with the new charger.  Excellent work, great experience.  Highly recommend these guys.

These guys were great!! We needed quite a long line ran in order to install our new hot tub.  They arrived on time, were very quick with the work they had to do, friendly & really cared about making sure the job was done right.  I am very happy we went with Five Or Free Electrical!  I highly recommend.

Brian is the best!  I've called Brian for numerous electrical problems and he has always been prompt, skilled, polite and neat. He always knows what the problem is and how to fix it.  He has installed fixtures, fixed reverse polarity, switched old outlets for new ones, solved mysterious electrical problems that no one else could...He's excellent and very reasonably priced.

I hired Clever Electric to do the electrical work for my entire house that I'm remodeling.  It's a huge project and since my house is about 100 years old, you can imagine how dated the electrical was.  First of all, I chose Clever Electric because My submitted the most thorough and detailed estimate.  Each item was very specific with its cost individually.  They spent over 2 weeks at my house cutting through drywall and putting in new wiring.  They always cleaned up their mess and hauled their garbage away.  The workmanship from My and his crew is fantastic.  They really pay close attention to detail and best of all, they listen to their clients and want to do exactly what makes the homeowner happy.  My is willing to do the extra work and not take any short cuts.  He even recommended for me to add on more switches/outlets at no additional charge.  His price is very fair but most of all, he's honest.  My and his crew will be back at my house to do all the finishings.  I'm sure after they're done, I will be extremely happy with my home.  If you're looking for an honest and reliable electrician, Clever Electric is the one.  Very highly recommended.

I highly recommend Zurc Power Solutions for all your solar needs. Francisco is very knowledgeable and can easily explain the intricacies of going solar. They installed our system 3 years ago and have kept in touch by monitoring our system to make sure everything is working properly.  I've referred him to friends and they are all very happy with their systems. Best of all, in this heat we can keep our house cool and we actually got money back at the end of the year.  It's easy to do. Just call Zurc Power Solutions and get your solar installed today.

I was having my kitchen remodeled and my contractor recommended upgrading my house to a 200amp circuit.  The quote they came back with was almost 4 times their estimate so I decided to look for my own electrician

Rob was recommended to me by a friend that works at PG&E.  Note: this was not a recommendation from PG&E, but they had good experiences with Rob.

He was one of 5 electricians I called: all recommended by friends.  Two never returned my calls, one was inadequate for the job, and the last one never completed my quote.  I was beginning to feel like I would have better luck finding a unicorn.  All of that said: I had a great experience with Rob.  

Rob came to my house and took down all of the details of the work I wanted done and made a suggestion: I have a plug-in hybrid car so he suggested adding a 220 outlet for a car charger.  

He got back to me with a quote within the week and it was 33% lower than my contractor.  I signed the contract and had to put the work on hold due to issues with the general contractor.  Once I was ready to begin the work Rob made himself available and did excellent work.  He took care of all of the permits and did the work he said he was going to do when he said he was going to do it.

If you need any electrical work done I cannot recommend Rob highly enough.

Arkadiy fixed our electrical issues quickly and was efficient throughout the process. He fixed all of the electrical wiring and informed us of the process along the way. He's very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him.

Had Ben install a Ring floodlight above my garage, which had an existing motion sensor connected to the exterior garage lights. He installed the floodlight no problem, very quickly, and with no interference to the existing motion sensor and lights. Ben is extremely professional and courteous. I will be using him exclusively for any electrical projects in the future. Thanks Ben!

We had several electrical outlets that lost power. Anthony came out and diagnosed the problem quickly and gave a reasonable estimate for repair. He was able to finish the job about an hour after he came out. Thanks again

The incident is from mid-August.. We were looking to get a pop-up factor for our kitchen. We were afraid that we will miss out the perfect window to sell out our Townhome and in our haste we hired the first guy who gave the fastest finish time. Little did we know how much stress it will result in.
The first day the guy came in alone which is a red flag in itself but I let it slide. After a week of back and forth (review the pictures) and going from staining to painting to varnish and trying everything, we realized that we have been taken for a ride. We settled his expenses and let him go.
Now how can we fix this mess.. a few of the painting guys from Yelp came in and laughed at us - felt really un-professional.
Couple of them were professional enough to provide a straight estimate but then Vinh arrived from NOR-CAL. Looked and listened before he said anything. No free stupid advises! Asked only the necessary questions.  Then said - We are not cheap but we do the best work. This is what you are looking for when we are done - showed me a finish and explained me the whole process along with timelines. The amount sounded higher than others but no one showed this confidence with data backing that up.
Vinh got the job. Next couple of days he followed up on every small details so that there is no misunderstanding. There were couple of things which even we did not consider as well.
During the job we got frequent imessages with pictures. One was with him at the site :) he visits each site everyday to keep tab of things. They covered everything and took care of the smallest item.
When they were done, it looked so great that my wife joked to keep the house!  
We sold the house in 1 week in market ! Got 7 offers. The buyer said that he fell in love with the kitchen.
I hope I would have gone with Vinh from the beginning but now we have a go to guy when it comes to our painting needs !!

If you ever have issues with your electrical system on the first morning of a three-day Holiday weekend, you know the sinking feeling we had when we smelled a very intense odd fish-oil smell in our house after having some minor electrical work done the day before. Our original electrician had warned us that such a smell might mean arcing was occurring somewhere in our system.
We shut down our electrical system and tried contacting the original electrician but were not able to get a hold of him. So we started calling local electricians we found on the internet. Robert Thorp of Fisher Electric was the only one who responded, and he said he could be here in half an hour.
He spent a couple of hours inspecting our electrical system, trying to help us determine what was causing this smell which seemed to come and go in an inconsistent manner. He did find several minor issues, but nothing that seemed to explain the problem, but he was diligent, methodical and as perplexed as we were about the issue.
Well, in a sudden burst of insight, I remembered that my husband had forgotten to close the door in our screened cat cage (where the electrical subpanel was located) after the first electrician had left. It turns out our cat must have gone exploring during the night, encountered a skunk, and took a glancing blow. Then, when the cat came back inside and wandered around the house, we would smell him and thought this was the arcing smell our electrician had warned us about! That was why the smell seemed to come and go!
So while our problem turned out not to be electrical at all, we were incredibly grateful that Robert made the trip up to Bonny Doon to assist us on a three day holiday weekend. We have his card on file and will not hesitate to contact him again if the need arises.

Dan came through for us for a simple GFCI outlet problem in our bathroom. I screwed it up and he fixed it. Straightforward and quick.
