Best Businesses in California

I personally remodeled my kitchen during the summer of 2017. The only item I didn't want to mess with was a 220v receptacle for our oven/range and the rewiring of an existing outlet for our microwave. I called five electricians. One never called back. One was over an hour late with no call. Two tried to sell me things I didn't want.  One got the job and then was fired because he BS'd me about calling the city and PGE for approval. A month passed with no updates. I called PGE and the city, nothing had been started.

I stumbled across Kody and his team at Wright Electrical Company here on Yelp. He showed up on time, listened to what I wanted, and made reasonable recommendations. He completed the job efficiently and left the area in better condition than it was in when he started. All of the other electricians told me I'd be responsible to do some drywall patch work for a part of the job. I never discussed it with Kody because I thought that was standard procedure after hearing it multiple times. To my surprise, the hole was patched and seamless.  Above and beyond my expectation.

The kitchen was completed in August. We received our appliances and the installers from the Big Box store goofed up the wiring on the oven. It arch welded the terminals of the 220v receptacle Kody installed. They replaced it, but it wasn't seated well. Kody came by, checked it and fixed it as a courtesy. He explained exactly what happened with their wiring. I knew I had found my electrician.

My kitchen work was an entry project to find my electrician. Knowing I had a reliable company, I pursued my next more costly electrical need, replacing the original 1959 100 amp fire starter Federal Pacific service panel. I had received bids from all of the kitchen remodel electricians for the panel back when they bid on the 220v receptacle. Kody/WEC was right in the middle of the quote range. Once I gave him the green light he contacted PG&E the next day regarding a gas line and if I'd have to move the panel. He received approval for placement within a week and coordinated with the city for appropriate permits.

The panel process was an all-day event with several follow ups for city inspection, stucco layers, and labeling. The panel is complete and looks like it belongs there. All of his employees were professional and well spoken. I can rest assured knowing I have a panel that will function properly and safely for my family. The stucco work is exceptional and everything was replaced as discussed.

They most recently installed an exterior 110v outlet for my Prius Plug-In. The install is clean and exactly what I was looking for. I didn't provide any guidance. I simply arrived home and it was better than expected.  Consistent with all of the other work.

Above all else, I loved that I could communicate with him via text. Kody and WEC will be my go-to electrician for anything applicable.  Now if only I could find the same in tree service.

I called five furnace repair shops in my area none of them were able to get out to my house within a week or two!  Bellows had somebody available the next day, so I went with them.  We scheduled an arrival window of 1:00-3:00.  Steve called me at 12:45, saying he could be here in 15.  Talk about on time!  Anyway, he was efficient, courteous and patient with my barrage of questions.  And, he fixed my problem.  He also told me about some of the weird things my old unit was doing and how long he thought it might last.  He gave me tips about getting my old pilot light to work (it turns out that thing ages right along with the rest of the furnace).  He also checked to see if I had enough carbon monoxide detectors (I don't), and explained how my old unit could start to emit that gas, so I should have the right amount in the right places.  He left me with quotes for replacing my furnace with a choice of newer models, saying I might get another 2-3 years out of the one I had.  All in all, I was very satisfied with the whole encounter.

Sam and his team at Hi-Tech AV did a good job installing a complete home theatre system with 5.1 in ceiling speakers, in ceiling projector mount and an audio rack. I found him knowledgeable as he could provide good guidance on different equipment options along with each of their pros and cons. The price for most of his equipment suggestions were usually high because they were all of high end, high quality grade, but after  installation and using system, we're really enjoying it and feel it was really worth it for the home theater experience.
