Best Electricians in California

We had contacted LHP Electrical to move our pge meter to a different location in our new house because we need to build a small room but the pge meter is located at the exact location where we want to build a new attic room. They were quite quick to response and come to our house even on this thanksgiving weekend especially on Sunday. After looking at our meter and listening to our concerns about the meter they provided amazing consultation that saved us more than $5k. They were super honest and told us we don't need to rewire or move the meter as it's only been installed within the last two years. Definitely recommend.

Best electrician in the city. PERIOD
In less than one day, they came over identified the issue and solved it faster than it took me to create a yelp account to make this review.

Geoff and Ronda Williams provided me with prompt and expert advice and service electrically updating my home in Montclair. Completely new to the area, I found their company on Yelp. Lucky me!  I would definitely recommend Williams Electric.

I recently bought a townhouse and it needed electrical work. I posted the job here on yelp and got messages from several electricians. However, the other electricians were not responsive after the initial message.  I told Carlos that I needed 3 outlets to be replaced with GFCI outlets and I need two damaged outlets to be fixed. Carlos provided a quote and asked for my availability. I chose to proceed with Carlos and his team because of how instantaneous his responses were.

On the day of the appointment, the electrician (Bryan) was at the front door a few minutes early. Unfortunately, I was running late and he had to wait for me.

I showed Bryan all of the outlets and light switches that I wanted to replace. Bryan studied the electrical panel and the outlets near the sinks. After studying the outlets, Bryan told me that the outlets near the sinks are all GFCI protected and do not need replacement. The outlets looked like regular outlets so I was a bit confused. Byan explained to me how they are GFCI protected and even showed me which GFCI outlets were protecting those regular outlets. Since I was still confused, Bryan explained to me in detail how GFCI outlets work and how the electricity in my property is wired.  I was incredibly impressed by how knowledgeable he is and how honest he is.  Bryan told me that those regular outlets do not need replacements since they are protected and it is up to me if I would like him to replace them with actual GFCI outlets.  Bryan proceeded to work on the two damaged (burnt/disconnected) outlets. After fixing the damaged outlets, he proceeded to replace the broken light switches. Bryan was knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly efficient

Used them for a few jobs now and been happy every time. Cleaned up after themselves (which is really important for me) and a great price. Super responsive too.

Pete, Christian and Max are stars: these guys are professional, fast, knowledgeable, honest . . .and just plain nice!  I should know, because I am a licensed contractor myself, and a retired Senior City Planner who granted or denied permits for home improvements.  I wish every homeowner might be fortunate enough to find contractors like P.J.Erwin.  They did our job quickly and to perfection, while protecting our furnishings, landscape, and structure adjacent to their work areas.
How many contractors are genuinely glad to see their fellow workers and clients each morning?  And it was a pleasure to see them.
I'm not given to gushing about contractors.  Find out for yourself -- give Pete a call.

H5 were so easy and delightful to work with.  We got an estimate right away and then the work was executed fast and efficiently.  Not to mention the bid was completely reasonable and the entire team had a positive and communicative approach.  We totally appreciated their efforts and will DEFINITELY look to them for our future electrician needs.  Thanks for the great work!

We had recessed lights installed in our living room. Great and easy to work with. We also asked for a last minute install for two recessed lights in the bathroom and they were able to do it same day.

I loved how responsive Bryan was to our needs and how he takes time troubleshooting, explaining what we could do ourselves, over the phone, so it wouldn't require a paid visit. And when it does require a visit, he does an excellent job. I hope he stays in the neighborhood, so we have someone to run to every time we have electrical issues!

These excellent guys got so few five-star reviews? LOL, they are too low profile. I'm a reator and they are so far the best I have worked with. This time, they did a smaller project for our own home.
They don't charge the cheapest ( I have quoted several good-reviewed licensed electricians), but they are not the most expensive too. Price is just one thing, the more important thing is:
1. They are super professional. Eveey details had been taken into consideration. And their crew is very clean, always clean up any mess after working day. Very polite too.
2. They are very creative. There are several non-standard problems, and they are the only person who proposed perfectly work-around solution. I like that they are sharing their much knowledge and experience with me, instead of saying simply no or doing larger disruptive project to our walls and current electrical system.
3.  Very easy to work with. The owner Gustavo is funny to talk with:) and Alfanso is very responsive, always explain to me about details and different options. And document them as much as possible to keep us on the same page. ( we change our requirements for several times)

Highly recommend if you need a professional and respectful electrician.

We met Rudy when we had a large electrical project that wasn't passing inspections and the previous electrician incapable of continuing work on it. We were then introduced to Rudy by our contractor and he turned out to be a blessing.

He is very experienced and consequently is incredibly fast with his work. He is very thorough as well. He knows all the codes and made several suggestions that improved the electrical circuitry in our home. There wasn't anything that he did that required a second look.

He changed the location of the PG&E meter box, added an extra sub-panel and made several improvements without nickel-diming us.

I highly recommend Rudy for any scale of electrical work. He is very professional and does his job with a smile.

Love this place! I have used them twice for electrical issues in my condo. They are very responsive! Dmitri was scheduled to come over. He was very prompt. He's friendly and very knowledgeable. The repair required a new part and that part was obsolete. They found a replacement part and notified me when it was in. The actual repair was done in a short time. Excellent customer service!

I needed a 240v plug for an EV charger, so I reached out to Saul. He got back to me very quickly and he and Danny showed up the next day to do an estimate, which took just a few minutes. Then, they came back the following day to install (which took just a few hours). It was a small job, but the guys were professional and quick and left us with a well-place plug for the charger. Everything works and I am happy with Bay Area Electric!

Two power outlets in my house short circuited and I had no idea how to fix it. I've never called an electrician before so I hopped on Yelp to look for a local electrician. Ideal Electric was one of the top companies in the search and I decided to call them because of all their positive reviews. I gave them a call and they responded within 30min which I appreciated. I spoke to Hugo and explained to him what was going on. He was very honest about what the issue might be and wanted me to test out a few things before they came out for the job. His troubleshooting solved my issue and I didn't have to spend $$$ on something minor. Love the honesty and will definitely contact them again if I need an electrician!

Professional, Quick to respond and come out, kind and knowledgeable! Called Sam frantic when I couldn't get our breaker to turn over. I run catering kitchen and power to our smoker is ver my important. Sam came out literally with in 15min and was ready to help. He knew exactly what the sound it was making was and quickly repaired the problem. Highly recommend Sam and his business to anyone with electrical issues. Thanks Sam, hope you enjoy the BBQ!

Brad  Solinsky is a true professional and a great guy to work with.

Last year he renovated our whole outdoor lighting  system, including re-wiring, and mounting new fixtures up and down several sets of stairs. His work was done quickly, with attention to detail and the finished product looks and works great.

Just recently I came home to find the power out in the garage. After doing some trouble shooting of my own, I called Solinsky Lighting & Electric and Brad came out immediately. He diagnosed the problem, replaced the old faulty wiring and got us up and running without missing a beat. Now that is service. We're very glad to have someone nearby that we know we can rely on for all our electrical needs.

This company will not follow through. He doesn't show up for scheduled repairs and continues to make excuses.

This place is great ONLY if you are an electrical contractor, because nothing can be returned except for an exchange or for store credit.  I tried to buy a light fixture for my deck, but they were out of stock.  I tried to buy a floor lamp, but they were back ordered.  After THREE full months, I still haven't received the floor lamp.  So, now I'm stuck with the store credit and no lamp.  It's a rotten way to do business.

I called Ongaro's to get the third of three bids for a split-unit air conditioner installation. I wanted to put the unit into a large recessed cabinet above the closet in our bedroom. I got quotes from two other heating/a.c. companies, but when Dean came out, he said that my plan wouldn't work and in fact would void the warranty on the unit. I called the manufacturer to see whether he was right, and it was true. He turned down $3-4K worth of work and broke my heart (we really had our hearts set on it), but what he did was right. Guess whom I'll call next time?

I called Tim after contacting another electrician who couldn't come until the next day.  And was so happy I did.  Tim arranged to come the same day, explained to me why I had  lost power in 2 rooms in my condo, and was able to fix the problem quickly.

Tim is such a nice  guy, so willing to answer questions and go the extra mile.  He has that hometown, good neighbor personality on top of being a great electrician.  I'm recommending him to my HOA and all my friends.
