Best Electricians in California

I consulted Brian about my electrical issue over the phone. He was kind enough to offer a quick suggestion for me to try before making an appointment. It turns out that it worked and I didn't need his service. What this tells me is that Brian is a gentleman who would not make work for himself where it's not really needed. Exactly the kind of professional I will hire in the future. Thank you Brian!

Seems I am the first one writing reviews for Mega Power.  They actually had more reviews for the LA branch.  I read those reviews and I can tell that Gary really cares about his reputation.

OK, my story.  I was thinking of installing solar in early 2022, after learning NEM 3.0 in California would be delayed indefinitely.  I started my journey with energysage.com, and got quotes from 6 local installers, including Mega Power Electric Inc.  I've also reached out to SunPower, and left my contact at Sunrun in Costco.  I finally decided to work with Mega Power for these reasons: 1. many positive reviews; 2. their price is very competitive; 3. I work directly with the owner German (Gary), who actually does the job.  No sales; no project managers.  While those sales people are nice and professional, the process is just as as efficient as talking directly with Gary.  Mega Power does everything very fast.  Gary came to our house and took some pictures; went back and shared his initial plan; we wanted two additional panels; Gary revised the plan (within 24 hours).  One or two weeks later, Gary and his people were on my roof.  Installation of 24 panels was done within one day.  City inspector initially had questions about the ground wire.  Gary and his team came back another time, and finished #4 ground wire upgrade within a couple of hours.  Passed city inspection.  Getting approvals from PG&E (final step) was a long story.  Gary and Mega Power did whatever they could to help and I appreciate that.  Overall experience with Mega Power was quite positive.  Definitely recommend Mega Power for their efficiency, work quality, and communication.  Additional data points I would like to share: while Gary and his team worked on installation, I was busy filing complaints with another company for their no show activity in the very first scheduled meeting. Oh, my wife and I already recommended Mega Power to another lady.  I probably should collect some referral fee from Gary.

As a small business owner, I do believe there is a right way and wrong way to run a business. After a lousy encounter with the first local electrician we found, we thankfully discovered Valencia Electric. Natalie is extremely professional, a great communicator and an absolute pleasure to work with. She reconfigured our internet, hooked up 5 ethernet connections and 2 wifi hotspots using existing wiring in our house. She provided a quick, thorough estimate and left us with a digital invoice upon completion of the work, which was done very carefully and efficiently. Highly recommended!!!

NEMA14-50 installation looks perfect. Thanks Tyler!!!would recommend to anyone looking for an electrician

Technician Cash came on time for a fall checkup of our new furnace and ac. He was very polite, yet fun to converse with. Respectful of our home, with mask, shoe covers, and gloves. Did a very thorough inspection plus changed the electrostatic filters and washed their covers before reinstalling. Looked at and gave maintenance advice for the hot water heater. Offered numerous times to do other tasks, too! We are using the MVP program- very worthwhile!

I asked Orbis Electrical Works for help with adding an outlet to my toilet wall for a new Toto washlet toilet seat. They came to my house for a free estimation on time and answered my questions very patiently. A few days later, they came to complete the project promptly. I'm happy to have them help with my project, and will definitely hire them again when needed in the future.

Divine came #1 recommended through the Tesla site and for GOOD REASON as we sought an installer for a new Tesla vehicle charger. The process was seamless from scheduling and helpful easy SMS confirmation with Kayla and team through to this morning's service appointment with Paul who also confirmed before arriving. Paul was outstanding explaining in detail the process and options, and getting the job fully done this morning and staying to make sure everything was working properly before final sign-off. We'd actively recommend Divine and also phone them again for future needs with our new home here in Novato. Great team, on-time, quality outcome, and within budget for a competitively-priced solution. A+++.

Ryan was the most responsive man when I sent quote requests to different companies.

We used John Hope for one job.  They got a good deal of work done in the time they were on site.  I greatly appreciated how quickly they were on the job from the time I called and how productive and friendly they were on site.

They did a great job for me and were very easy to work with.
Thanks for your services!

Sam arrived quickly. Diagnosed the problem. Did everything I needed and gave me a senior discount. We now have a good man to call for our electrical issues!

I was looking for any certified electrician in the Fremont area to add a 220V outlet to my kitchen. I read most of the electrician Yelp reviews but was passing up on Cross Electrical since their reviews were all 5 stars and they might be expensive.  So I tried calling a handful of the 4 and 3 stars electricians but they all charge travel fees of $89 dollars to just give quote. One of them other companies waived the travel fee so that they can come out and give me an estimate. The electrician came and quoted me a $1000+ dollars to install two 50 amp breakers and a junction box. Finally, I just gave Cross Electrical a try because I was getting nowhere in my search. When I called Cross Electrical, Kathy picked up the phone and she was just upfront and said that it can cost me around $450 dollars. She said however that it may be $550 depending on the oven wattage requirement, how difficult my crawl space, and the distance from breaker to kitchen is.  Doug and Jerry showed up at my door on time for my 7:00 am appointment a few days later. That alone was impressive since I had to go to work that morning at 10 am. Doug surveyed the house and said that they can do it for $450. I could have sworn that these brothers are some kind of church ministers because of their demeanor. There are still a lot of good people in this world and Kathy, Doug, and Jerry are one of them. Bottom line is that I was very happy with Cross Electrical. They did a great job in adding a circuit breaker for my oven. They came on time to their appointments and were just straightforward when it comes to their pricing.  They installed the junction box to my oven but my oven was not there so they came back another day  to hook up my oven to the junction box. I highly recommend these guys. Please give them a call first before calling other places. I'll use them for all my future electrical needs for my house.

I requested a quote through yelp and it reached out to several electricians do perform work needed at our home. While being stressed during freeze warning days and working with our home warranty and home insurance companies to get someone out for emergency repair. Gomez was the first to respond faster than the insurance and warranty reps. His response through yelp was noticeably a person responding and not just an automated reply that i received that just read Call me at ------ Gomez was very responsive, attentive, and very knowledgeable in his trade. Even though were able to push through with our warranty by hounding them with frustration and aggravation we had Gomez on standby and was ready to sign the contract if coverage fell through.

I must say, even though we didn't get the opportunity to have the work for this company, the interaction and communication was very friendly. Made the experience feel personable and not just someone to take money from. I highly recommend Gomez Electric just based on customer service.

Dave does excellent work. My home office had been dim for years, with no ceiling lights and little natural light. Dave created a lighting plan and installed five recessed lights that can be adjusted and dimmed, and now it feels like I have a whole new office. I'm happy with the results, and I highly recommend Dave's services. He worked quickly but carefully, and he vacuumed up after every step to keep drywall dust to a minimum. Hire Dave!

I had lights that were flickering on/off (NOT dimming) throughout a large portion of the home and would occasionally just stop working for hours at a time.

Another electrician took 5 hours at $910 crawling around the ceiling space, reconnecting and tightening things and claimed it was all better. It was not -- the power issues continued 2 days later.

Got in contact with Bob at 11am, he came out that same day by 2pm, had the problem fixed 30 minutes and $300 later; money well spent. Turns out the previous folks had missed that an entire breaker bar contact in the main panel had been sparking and completely corroded the bar contact. Bob put in a new breaker on undamaged bar contacts and put everything back together.

Jose had been my go to electrician. He is very thorough and does a great job. Also his is not expensive. I strongly recommend him.

I got electrical work done from here and Arash did a really great job. Took the time out to answer all my questions. Always on time on all of the appointments. Very friendly guy. Come to this place if you need good electrical service. You won't be disappointed.

Good news, bad news.  
Good: 1- They were one of 2 out of 5 vendors I contacted that responded and the only one that followed through with an estimate.  2-Brittany, in the office, was most responsive.  3--The work was done to my satisfaction....but not without....

BAD NEWS:  1-The hourly rate of $250 was higher than I expected. 2--The bathroom fan and closet light were replaced, but I was told that the sheetrock/paint finish work would cost an add'l $150, which I refused to pay as it was part of the job. 3--I was harassed for payment, but kept explaining I'd pay when the work was completed, which I did within 5 minutes of completion.  4--I was told by Jim, the owner, that he'd have to verify that they made the opening in the ceiling bigger, despite me telling him that it was sawed open.  5--HAD I NOT FOUGHT, I WOULD HAVE EITHER HAD A HOLE IN MY CEILING TO FIX MYSELF, OR WOULD HAVE PAID AN ADD'L $150, which he ultimately agreed was part of the job.
