Best Electricians in California

When dealing with power surges and humming in the light fixture when using my hair-dryer at the same time, along with a myriad of other little electrical oddities, I would like to say that Brian had excellent trouble-shooting skills. He was able to assess my situation in a timely fashion as well as make recommendations that were resourceful and helpful. He was able to help resolve my issues right away. He is also very prompt and thorough in his response times. I would use him again for sure.

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.

I had them come to my home today to do some work. They were prompt and got the job done quickly. I know it wasn't cheap but it was reasonable. I have paid much more for other electricians in the area. Highly recommend Al Smith Electric.

We were so pleased with Natalie's work on some other projects a couple of years ago we had her come back for a bigger job this time. Natalie did a great job of replacing lights with LEDs throughout the house, installing two ceiling fans and installing new ceiling lights in two rooms. She was professional, prompt and reasonably priced. She came to provide an estimate and gave us some very good ideas. She took care of getting all the materials and she did the work on time and on budget. We have some very high ceilings but these didn't stop her from doing a very nice job. I recommend her very highly.

Tyler and Chris are good reliable electricians. We had them put in 2 outlets, 3 ethernet ports, 3 light fixture boxes. They were always on time and called when they were on their way. We also lucked out and were able to get an appointment the following week. They were both nice to work with and explained everything they were doing. Tyler also has an impeccable memory. We explained the whole job and without writing anything down, he sent us a very clear proposal and knew exactly what the job was and was able to walk Chris through it, without us having to explain again. Tylers clear understanding of the job shows his experience in the field. I highly recommend his business.

During a freeze warning our heater started to not ignite properly. PG&E came out and capped off our heater. I had to wear a second pair of pants and a down jacket inside our house. I called about 6 or 7 companies and Service Champions were the easiest to connect with. They sent a repair man (Jesse) out the same day. He kindly presented all the options and we decided to go with a new heater since ours was 23 years old. The next day Chris came and presented the options and compared them with our old heater. Once we decided, he called the office and they immediately began pulling the permit. I was placed on their schedule for the heater installation the next day, and for duct sealing on a later date. Then, most amazing of all, a crew came the next morning at 7:30 and worked for several hours and got everything done in one day, by early afternoon. William, Van and Keith worked hard and steadily in the crawlspace under the house, left everything neat and clean and William went over what to expect next in a variety of ways (the new thermostat, the first 30 minutes of the heater blowing, the third party that will come to test the duct work, and when to call the city to finish inspection). They even took something away for us that my husband and I couldn't deal with. William, Van, and Keith were professional, nice guys, and didn't hesitate to go above and beyond. I felt well taken care of and am looking forward to having my heater tuned up in a year! LOL, who would ever say that? but it's true.

Ivo was quick to respond and super knowledgeable. He was helpful in providing me options and communicating clearly. Extremely trustworthy, as I could not be at the property while they were doing the installation I actually had them do the entire installation and testing without me there. They locked up behind themselves and did a great job sending pictures of the functioning light after installation. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars was that the price seemed a little steep. Ended up paying $400 for a little less than an hour of work to install an $100 light. Compare that to earlier in the day, paid $150 to have a new dishwasher installed (and old one hauled away). I was in a bind, so I made it work - but I'd probably shop around a bit next time.

A leak was discovered in the plumbing system and we got an appointment a workday later. Victor and Sean arrived and reviewed Divine Electric's protocol and process to ensure we knew what to expect
They then proceeded to identify the source of the leak and repair it.  At each step they explained what they found and how they chose to fix the problem. They did a fantastic job overall.  It was pleasant to work with them. We are very satisfied  
P S. It is amazing how 2 very tall and well built men choose and are able to get on very small crawl spaces.

Excellent service! Ryan came to fix our power problem at garage and did a wonderful job! Prompt response and high quality! I highly recommend his services!

I will never have to call another electric company again.  John and his staff/crew far exceed my expectations.  John's crew was always on time, knew what they were doing, kind, clean, courteous, and kept me informed of ALL changes or concerns.  I am so happy to have John Hope Electric's on my side!  Also, I have to give 5 Stars to Carl!  Knowledge of your trade is so important when you are trying to count your nickels, dimes, and pennies.  Carl never wasted a minute on the job!

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

This is a tightly run business owned by a husband and wife team. They responded quickly to my request for a proposal, set a date, kept the date, and completed the work in less time than estimated. I asked them to add two receptacles and replace two existing ones. The work was done extremely well, and they left the place spotless when they were done. I heartily recommend Cross Electrical.

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.

I have an odd-shaped, loft-style condo with super high ceilings that presented many lighting challenges.  Dave did an outstanding job designing and installing a monorail light system.  He basically had to spend 3+ days on a 20-foot ladder and get the monorail lights to line up correctly in a living space that looks rectangular but is actually slightly curved and wider at one end than the other.  I know that getting it correct was a major headache.  Nevertheless, he was very professional and on budget.  I was very happy with his service and love my new lights and ceiling fan.

I called on a Saturday because power was out in part of my house, including the refrigerator. Hillsborough Electric said there was a good chance this was a problem PG&E would fix for free. And this turned out to be true. I really appreciated the honesty and certainly will use them whenever I need an electrician.

It is a task when searching for a reliable and dependable electrician - but I think that search is over for me. I found Castillo Electric on Yelp while searching for a licensed electric company for a small project. I got 4 different quotes from 4 different companies and I decided to go with Castillo Electric. This company was very professional and responsive from the get go. Jose was quick to respond to my initial request for an estimate. He came over and heard me while also giving his opinions on how the project could move further. I liked his ideas better than what I had initially planned. He was very responsive to emails and texts. His estimate was very competitive and he was very clear about the materials that he would use. He did not try and nickel and dime for everything- everything was covered in the quote he gave. They came on the agreed upon day on time, went over the project with me one more time and got to work. They kept me informed of everything they were doing and finished the project in a few hours and cleaned up after themselves. Everyone was very friendly and professional throughout the process. I would definitely contact Jose for my future electrical needs. Have already shared his information with some family and friends.

The Hertz electric team were great. They came on time, and got the jobs I had needed done completely perfectly.

Should've listened to the negative reviews but sadly, I thought the 5 star ones might be legit. Now I'm wondering if they're written by friends. After signing contract and having the most difficult time getting a reply from Jim (he seriously LAGS after he gets your the initial deposit in hand), he finally did some work. UNFORTUNATELY, this man does NOT do honest work nor operate in good faith. Work seemed legit when he asks for payment and only after very close inspection and actual use, we realized that was not done correctly and stopped working quickly after he left, impossible to reach or get Jim to come back out afterwards to fix the job. He completely flat out refused and we were stuck hiring someone else from scratch. This company is a fraud. Use at your own risk.
