Best Electricians in California
I am so glad I found these guys.
Four four years, I have had problems with my furnace/AC unit. I have had three companies come out and have a look at it. BAM was the fourth.
For each one, the furnace was fixed and worked for a short time, or not fixed at all. Sometimes it worked for one hour, and sometimes it worked for a few months. The majority of the time in our house the heat and A/C would not work. Each person who came had a different explanation of the problem. Each one charged about $125 for service regardless of the quality of service they provide.
One company charged to tell me that my thermostat was broken (which was obvious) and they could not even look at the heater with that broken thermostat. An electrician told me that I would need to replace the wires in my walls, and tear apart my plaster walls with custom paint.
I was dreading having to find a fourth person - while being bedridden sick and with my house getting colder, preparing to host a holiday party I desperately called around. I was not sure whether the problem was electrical or furnace.
I called BAM. They called me back in a timely manner. The service guy was so kind to make room in his schedule to come to my house the next day! On such short notice, they were one of the few places I called who were willing to deal with furnace and electrical problems.
Their business model is a free estimate of work to be done, at which point the client could decide.
The guy came right on time. He checked at least four points where there could be a problem and described everything he was doing. He checked the power going into the furnace and verified the correct voltage. He found that the power leaving the furnace was not correct. Due to a loose neutral wire. After tightening that, the heater worked. My point is, he could have estimated that the entire furnace electrical board needed replacement, and I would be none the wiser.
After he left, my heater stopped working. I messaged him later that night, and he further explained all the possible problems, at 9 pm. He walked me through all the things to check. The next morning I took his advice and checked the things he told me to check, fixed the problem and learned a few new things.
I am grateful for these guys. My heater is permanently working and I know at least two potential failure points for the future and how to fix them. I'll be using these guys again.

AVOID AT ALL COST! What a joke. This owner shows up in sandals, doesn't have the right tools and has to borrow mine. He did a hack job in my garage. I needed an outlet installed with a switch. He hacked my dry wall, buried the electrical lines in the drywall and filled it in with joint compound! I'm not an electrician, but that does not seem
Up to code? WTH. I wasted $350 and will have to pay a real electrician to come back and unscrew the work that this idiot did. His van doesn't now have a contractor license number either! I can only blame myself for even letting this guy do the work.

I tend to write reviews only when somebody or someplace is either outstanding or exceptionally bad. I don't have time to spend writing reviews for all the average businesses out there who perform as expected but don't in any way stand out from the crowd. James and James from Got Watts Electric earned their 5 stars. It was a relatively routine job, installing some recessed lighting in our living room, but they encountered many problems along the way due to inadequate wiring done by the original owner of the house and minimal crawl space above the ceiling, making it a very unpleasant and uncomfortable experience for them. They could have made it easier on themselves by making holes in the wall, but they chose the harder way, which was much better for us.
They did a beautiful job, with smiles and a sense of humor. They were amazingly efficient under the circumstances and took the time to clean up every speck of dust and dirt. They had to put in extra effort for this job, but did not charge extra money for it. Their price was very reasonable. I will most definitely hire them for any electrical needs in the future.

I had a very good experience with these guys installing recessed lighting on a new circuit for my living room. Excellent communication up front. I like how they worked with me to plan the work. I wanted fixtures with some custom features (gimbal trims, 4000K color temp, use of existing LED bulbs in some) so I ordered the materials for the lights. They were professional and efficient at completing the work on the scheduled day. Pricing is competitive.

We recently had a bunch of odd jobs that we needed done including installing a ceiling fan, replacing a bathroom fan and lighting fixture, and installing some external outlets. Steve provided an estimate and his 2 guys arrived promptly ready to work- they were here for about 1/2 a day and got everything done as promised, We will use these guys again for more jobs bc they were very professional, clean, and yoy could tell they knew what they were doing. Thx Soouthwest!!!

If you're looking for a reliable company to fix your AC unit, this company will be the last company you should consider, period.
(1) The initial diagnosis fee is Not cheap, more then the other company.
(2) The technician didn't give you the estimate until you got the bill. $5 fuse, he'll charge you $179.
(3) After 4 days, system broke down, technician didn't know what to do, proposed more Expensive solutions...the system never got fixed...I have to hire the other five stars company & fixed it.
If you like to know The whole situations, go to Google search for my whole statements.
After all, we deserve better services as consumers...Sad! :(

I have used Jason exclusively for my electrical work for years now and had a recent need. He met me at the location promptly quite early in the morning, and not only expertly did the work required, but took additional time to do new work that came up that was unanticipated! Jason is professional, thorough, provides awesome value and is a joy to work with. Look no further for your electrical needs!!!

Superb. These guys are my new, go-to electricians. The owner, John, called me the day before to better understand the problem ahead of the visit and was super friendly and knowledgable. He personally vouched for the guy he was sending, adding he had more than 20 years of expertise. Levi came to our house this morning and I could not ask for a better experience. He was beyond patient with my endless questions about our electrical system: how it works and some safety concerns. He had such a positive, can-do attitude, really knew his stuff, and did top-quality work. Highly recommended!

I can't recommend Brian enough for electrical work! We bought our first electric car and I reached out to him to install a high-voltage outlet in our garage so we could charge our car. He responded right away and we booked an appointment for the next day. He arrived on time and quickly added the outlet. I really liked his attention to detail and personality: he is a nice person and a great communicator. I was curious and watched him while he worked: as he was doing each step (turning off the breaker, installing the outlet, etc) he told me what was going on. His pricing was very reasonable. And he was very focused on safety, which I appreciated.
A year later, we experienced an issue where our car wasn't charging properly on a Saturday. Our car had very little charge and we needed to drive it to work on Monday, so I texted Brian. He gave me some basic steps for me to try to investigate and trouble shoot on my own. When those didn't solve the problem, he very kindly squeezed us into his schedule for the next morning, which was a Sunday, even though he had other appointments. I was very grateful he was willing to work on a Sunday so we could try to get the problem fixed in time to drive to work on Monday. Brian showed up on time again. He quickly tested things out. The breaker was fine and the outlet was fine, so he was able to determine that the issue was with one of the wires in our wall between the outlet and the breaker. Most likely due to some defect, likely a nail nicking the wire during construction work a few years ago, the wire degraded over time and failed. So the issue had nothing to do with any of Brian's work (he had just installed the outlet, which was working fine). Trying to fix that wire in the walls would be very involved and take time, so we brainstormed options. Since it was most important for us to have a way to charge our car right away, he installed a second outlet on another high-voltage circuit that was working fine. Thanks to his responsiveness, we quickly had a way to charge our car again.
If (when) I have future electrical needs for my house, I will definitely be reaching out to Brian again. He is a pleasure to work with and his great service and professionalism really stand out!

I cannot say enough good things about Clever Electric. The team recently did electrical work at my house and I was impressed with the fact that they always arrived on time, cleaned up after the work area before leaving. Also the owner My was very helpful in accommodating my tight schedule. I'd use Clever Electric again without a hesitation.

Francisco sent his crew back to retest the system, found out that the micro inverters were the issue. Since they are still under warranty the manufacturer will replace all 24 micro inverters for me. It will take 2-4 weeks for them to ship. But for now I have 3 new inverters working that Francisco was kind enough to let me use it while waiting for the replacement.

After reading the reviews and I decided to contact Odom Electric earlier this month. I needed to service some electrical issues with my home.
Some of the issues I was having is shorts happening with a few light switch, missing fuse in electrical box and basic hardware install (ceiling fan, chandelier, running cable behind the wall for tv, etc.).
These guys are absolutely awesome and professional. As all the other review states, they come on-time, clean-up during and after projects. Most of all they are super friendly.
Definitely recommending to all my friends.
Thanks TEAM!!

I had a problem at my house, three rooms upstairs are out of power. I got an electrician came over, he spent a couple hours and did not find out exactly where it disconnected. Then I got one of my friends referred Arkadiy to me. When he came over, I can feel he is sharp and systematic. It seems to be a hard problem to solve initially, but Arkadiy got it all figured out eventually. Very impressive. (The previous electrician told me he might have to open the wall to trace down the lines. Then it will become a big project.) I am so happy Arkadiy came and helped me.
The work is done professionally. The price is very reasonable. Now I know when I need any electrical work to be done, whom should I turn to.
Thank you Arkadiy,

I received a reply after leaving the comment below. We are currently discussing estimates. It is possible that the, Hi-only remark was a misunderstanding on my part. Updates to follow.
*****************
Update: we were unable to come to an agreement or an estimate. I have moved the rating from 1 star to 2. No further contact will be attempted.
*****************
I asked for an estimate using clear language and received an immediate response from the owner of, Hi; no further communication was received. It has been a day of waiting, so now this review exists.
I believe that this business quickly replies in this manner to abuse the Yelp! response time and response rate mechanism and cause it to provide inaccurate data. Do not believe this metric for this business, it is based on falsehood.
I am not interested in doing business with someone who isn't willing to compete with others in their industry on an even playing field. Please keep this in mind when considering choosing them

The technician Yovani is very responsive and the communication is straightforward. He arrived job on time, quickly understood the issue and started working on it right away. He is very knowledgeable and skilled. He was able to get the work done quickly with high quality. I would definitely use his service again if I have any electrical problems.

I called Nor-Cal Painting to see if they could remove wallpaper, and then texture and paint my master bedroom and bath. From the first contact, Vinh was refreshingly responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. He answered all my questions regarding the details of the job, provided a fair quote, and was able to fit me into his busy schedule fairly quickly. As a bonus, his skill set includes electrical and other handyman expertise, so I was able to get the whole project completed by Nor-Cal rather than call in multiple contractors. Vinh stands behind his priority to ensure that the customer is happy. I had an issue with one of the paint colors and he addressed it immediately and resolved it to my satisfaction. His crew is experienced, works very well together, and treats the property with respect. I was so pleased with the whole experience that I hired Nor-Cal to come back to replace some siding on my house and repaint the entire exterior. Again, another excellent job! Vinh is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him and his crew to anyone looking for quality work at a reasonable cost. Thanks Vinh!

I had an electrical problem with one of my rentals and Fisher Electric was able to come out the next morning and was able to perform a major repair before the days was over. Friendly, polite service techs.

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.
