Best Electricians in California

We recently purchased a home built in 1952 that still had its original electrical system. We solicited bids from three electricians and ultimately hired Archibold to upgrade the service to 200 amps and handle a long list of upgrade and replacement work throughout the home.

This is the third old home that we've purchased and updated and after working with Brian and his crew, we have to say that they are first rate electricians.  Neat, clean, knowledgeable, thoughtful and all at a fair price.

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.

Thank you for patiently explaining the electrical problem in a way that made it understandable. Thank you for coming on such short notice. Thank you for not charging me an arm & a leg for great service. I would recommend Al Smith Electric in a heartbeat!

Electrical work can be a bit scary. I usually try to do simple projects myself, but when it's not a switch or plug, I start getting nervous. Such was the case with a Sense energy monitor I began to install in my main panel last week. After doing some of the preliminary work, I realized that I was a bit out of my depth.

Based on Yelp reviews, I began to look for electricians in the area. Natalie's page stood out as having good reviews on the value of her work and communication. Both of which, especially the latter, is very important to me.

We scheduled for this morning. Natalie was on time and settled in, wrapping things up pretty quickly. She was friendly, familiar with the installation, and texted me to let me know the project was complete. We tested the sensor, which worked as expected.

I don't love spending money on electrical repairs, but I'm kind of excited to hire Natalie for a future project. Would definitely recommend.

After reading all the great reviews of Better Electric, I gave them a call.  Tyler answered the call and he was honest about his busy schedule.  I shared with him that we lived in an older 2 story home built in the sixties.  The existing fan bracket was for a small light weight fan and I suspect it needed upgrading/replacing with a modern bracket that would support a modern fan.  He agreed an informed me about the various brackets used to support a fan up to 25 lbs or more.  Although his schedule was booked for 2 to 3 weeks, he squeezed me in the following week after he completed his final job for the day.  The day arrived and he sent me a text to let me know he would stop by for the job.  Once he arrived, he went straight to work.  He was very friendly and shared some great stories.  He replaced the old bracket with a new one with the proper rating in short order.  Next, he quickly setup the fan and had it working in no time.  I am so glad I gave him a call.  We are very happy with the results.  Great Job Tyler!  Thank you!!

We called them to check out our air conditioner. Within few minutes of looking, a  very talented technician declared our ac was not fixable and we needed to buy a new one. He was very intgugiinterested in selling us a new unit so they can make a quick $$$$. Finally we called other company and they fixed it for $400.

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.

Awesome work with Joseph. He arrived on time, was communicative, respectful, and knowledgeable about his work. Much appreciated!

Very happy with Ryans service. He wad able to correct a problem with a recently installed bathroom fan.  He also repaired some drawer slides that were not working. Ryan caulked and filed nail holes in the baseboard in our newly refinished bathroom!
Very happy with Ryans work! We will use him again when needed!

I needed electrical gremlins removed from our old home, John Hope Electric was the best estimate, workers communicated well with us. I had a small checklist they took care of everything in a timely manner. Their office is a pleasure to deal with, and we recommend you try them! The workers all knew exactly what they were doing, no mistakes were made, Thank you!

Wilson is very professional and efficient. He helped me solve some issues with my rigid conduit requested by PG&E for my electrical panel upgrade. I needed help fast because this problem blocked my house remodel inspection.  Wilson is very flexible to support my timing needed. And he did a great job fixing the issue.  Highly recommended!

Sam was terrific helping me fix the issues created when we had a PG&E transformer blow up on  our street. It blew out my garage door opener, my doorbell, 2 GFI outlets, my Keurig coffee machine, my Sonicare toothbrush and several other things in my house.  Sam came in and quietly and efficiently fixed everything, and at a very reasonable price.  

Thanks. Marilyn

These guys are all great.  They're very professional and friendly at the same time.  I will be in touch for another appointment to be able to work further on the wish list Jerry and I put together on his first visit.  Gotta save the money first.
Thanks everyone.

Alvaro was very professional and did great work. He fixed a ceiling fan and installed some wifi light switches. I really appreciate that he wore shoe covers in our house and placed a drop cloth down around the areas where he was working.

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 a great experience with Hillsborough Electric.  The response was prompt and Bob solved my problem quickly and efficiently.  I will not hesitate to call them again.

Very professional and a wonderful job done thank you for doing a amazing job you a amazing electrician

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.
