Best Businesses in California

Excellent plumbing service! Technicians or plumbers are very experienced and friendly, especially Ray!

I had a later sewer line that had failed 3 times in a 6 week period.  I knew I was likely to be in for an expensive repair/replacement of the line.  No access to a toilet in your home is a life-altering situation that leads to desperation.  I think it's easy to be taken advantage of as a consumer in this situation...especially when you can't visualize the failure since it's underground.  All you can hope for is that you hire an honest plumber that does quality work.
If you share my sentiments, then hire Freddy at Freedom Underground Plumbing.  He got my sewer line replaced quickly at a reasonable price.  In fact, I know for a fact he could have charged me for some things that I didn't need...but he was upfront and honest and saved me precious dollars.
He did a trenchless replacement.  All the work was done in a matter of days including permitting and inspections.  Never were we without the ability to flush when we needed to.
Hire Freddy!  You will not be sorry.

Victor and the team are amazing. They are quick and efficient with reasonable prices. They became my restaurant handyman now. I can call or text them they will show up the same day or the next day. I never feel disappointed when I ask for their help.
They did really great job.

This is my 3rd time using ARP. This time ARP replaced my water heater. As in the past, I am absolutely pleased with the work . In summary: on time, honest, professional, competent, good price. He is solid gold.

Excellent service from Emil, he has done few jobs for us. On one occasion we were having problems with hot water and we got several plumbers who quoted us $3k+ for tank-less water heater replacement. Emil was the only one who recommended checking all the faucets in the house.

Rightly enough there were two faulty shower knobs that were mixing the hot and cold water, the replacement cost us few hundred dollars instead of incorrectly replacing the water heater. Emil is our first choice for all plumbing needs and wish if we can give more than five stars here!!

Really impressed with Mike & Ante who came out and got our 220v Electric car charger set up neatly/properly. Will use them for all sorts of other jobs for sure!

Highly recommended.

I called Jason to fix a breaker that was supposedly the source of my nonoperative hot tub. It a rare part apparently - Jason helped to locate before I even booked him for the job.

Jason arrived they day after I got the part. He replaced it within 10 minutes of arrival. He had obviously done this a few times.

Unfortunately the breaker was not the source of the hot tub problem.

To my surprise, Jason then offered to check out the hot tub itself. He unscrewed the panel and proceeded to disconnect various wires, isolating the cause of the failing circuitry within the hot tub itself!

Nothing extra charged for his debugging wizardry.

Jason obviously has a breadth of electrical knowledge, confidence and an excellent work ethic. We have an kitchen remodel coming up and I'll definitely be reaching out to him in the future.

This a scam business.  Hire them if you want to be nickeled and dimed at a massive markup.  If you reschedule they'll charge you full fare and claim they showed up and completed work.  What a joke.

In response:  Matt, apparently I must have misread the following Attached is your invoice for the electrical project we completed for you which is now due.?  That says completed, no?

Thanks for the discount and your flexibility-  $200 for completing nothing.  I'd expect, what, another $200 to complete the completed job?  For what?  To unscrew a fusebox and install a $10 GE fuse.  What a bargain!  $400 for a fuse!  I'm so happy you believe this isn't nickeling and diming - especially after we hired your business to the tune of $15,000 last year.

Update:  we had a licensed electrician visit to diagnose our recent issues.  During this visit the $15,000 upgrade that Willow Glen also completed last year became quite an interesting topic.  Findings (screenshot of quote attached)

1. Sub-Panel was not permitted
2. Sub-panel was not in a firewall
3. There was no nolax on aluminum wiring
4. Breakers were not torqued down correctly 5. Poor overall workmanship

So the $3000 quoted to complete Willow Glen's completed work.  Well, we'll just take that elsewhere.

Minh and his associate did a wonderful job on our electric panel upgrade. Our house had an old panel from 1950s, is no longer sufficient for modern day use. I had Minh and several other electricians come over and gave quotes. Minh's quote was in the middle and I decided to go with him because he gave the most detailed explanation about the upgrade process. I felt he was trustworthy. And my intuition was right.

During the whole process, Minh was super responsive and was willing to work with us through multiple delays. We had to reschedule our upgrade and inspection several times due to COVID, Protests, and Road Work. Also during the process, we bumped into an unexpected challenge. Minh quickly assess the issue and provided a solution with an updated quote. In the end, we finished the upgrade and passed all inspections.

I would recommend Minh to anyone who needs electrical work done in their house. And I will keep  his contact for future electrical issues in my own home.

Julio and his team were amazing. I had a loose wire in the house and somehow they knew where it was, it was like magic. Highly recommend!

Roger and his team did a beautiful job in our breaker panel upgrade. He is easy to communicate and gives trustworthy opinions. His quality work on our breaker panel even attracted my neighbor's attention who immediately asked him for a quote to work on his house. He is definitely our go-to person if we need an electrician again. Kudos to Formosa Electric.

*** Terrific Job in Panel Upgrade for our Duplex ***

-TLDR-
Duke, Eddie, and Jaden did a fantastic job in upgrading our electrical panels from 2x100Amps to 2x200Amps (this is a duplex). They have gone above and beyond to work with us, adapting to our needs. Cannot recommend them enough.

-Details-
We live in a duplex that dates back to the 1950s. We wanted to have our old electrical panels upgraded to bring in more power for future upgrades. We reached out to maybe half a dozen of contractors. Duke was the last contractor we contacted, but are we glad that we did. Most contractors were unwilling to take on the project, since they are either unfamiliar with duplexes (which typically have separate meters and panels), aren't able to source the material (Covid-related shortages still ongoing), didn't want to deal with PGE, or proposed solutions that would have been very hard to achieve in hindsight.

Duke was different than everybody else. He carefully listened to our needs, explained his plan, and laid out the expectations. In contrast to other contractors, he didn't choose the path of least resistance (for him), but rather the path that was most future-proof and aesthetically pleasing to us. In addition to being integral and upfront, we really appreciated that:

1. Duke handled permits, inspections, PGE power shut down/up, and stucco repairs.
2. Duke & team made sure that we  were without power for less than a day, (10am-6pm). This is a big deal for such a complex project.
3. Everything (including prep work, panel upgrade, inspection, and patch up), was completed in less than two days total.
4. Duke answered every one of our questions professionally and clearly, even before we entered the contract.
5. Duke & team were able to think outside the box,  adapting the solutions to our needs, even if that meant adding more work and changing plan.

We were at home during the installation, and I have to say that I was impressed by how hard-working and dedicated the entire team was. They even declined our offer to bring them lunch and/or dinner; all they accepted was water.

If you are in the market for an electrical contractor, do not hesitate to reach out to him. We for sure will call him back for future electrical work!

California power & light was recommended to us when we had our gas fireplace installed. At the time, he not only installed the fireplace but put in two new lights for us to complete the job. More recently, when our kitchen lights (installed by previous home owner) started going out one by one, I called the fireplace company to get Henry's number! He was able to have a technician out and worked with him to replace our old lights and all the old housing, all in the same day. Super quick, super responsive, super friendly and trust worthy. All around great guys and company--would highly recommend them for your electrical & lighting needs.

I was using a fancy outlet tester on a nonGFCI outlet for the first time when my moderately large open kitchen and dining area suddenly lost power to 2/3 of the outlets (some counter, some wall), but lights still working.  None of the Circuit Breaker box switches  looked tripped.  I thought that I may have damaged one of the circuits and decided it would be prudent to have an electrician investigate.  I messaged one other company but felt that their hourly rate was quite high; called Adary Electric which had excellent reviews and reasonable rates.  Got an appointment with Adary right away for the next morning.  Electrician Robert gave me a heads up call and was very polite (clearly a kind gentleman) and very professional.  He listened patiently while I explained in lengthy detail what, where, and why I was doing when I lost some power.  He first wanted to see the Electric Switch Box which he said looked normal and checking with his fingers and could see that they were all in good alignment.  Apparently the switches can trip slightly.  He showed me how to do the check myself.  Then he found one of my GFCI outlets and hit its reset button - and then my coffee machine and electric water pot lights turned on.  He said the outlet tester somehow tripped the GFCI (even though I was using the tester on a non-GFCI outlet) which in turn tripped the rest of the circuit.  Power was back just like that.  There was time to fix a more difficult problem.  My exterior front porch lamp wall timer control switch was permanently in ON position.  He proceeded to fix that in good time.  I could tell he was a great person, because my cat wanted to sit near him while he worked!!  I loved that Robert was a good listener, very respectful of my property and cat, and although my issues were not difficult - I can't help but think he's an excellent electrician too.  I will keep Adary Electric as my go-to for electrical problems

I was looking for a electrician to install an 240V outlet for EV charging and Electrica seemed at first to be a good one for the job, but I was disappointed after just a couple of message exchange. First, the quote for the job was pretty high compared to others, almost 2x of the lowest quote, but that's not the only problem. When I asked if the price was negotiable, the guy joked how about $650 (instead of $575). I was taken aback by his arrogance and lack of professionalism. I am not sure why he did that. Was he not serious about his job? Was he under influence when he replied to my message? I mean he can give me any quote he wants but it must be in a professional way to gain people's trust. Obviously his behavior was a big NO for me, so I selected another electrician for the job.

I had a few small electric jobs at my place and reached out to a few businesses. Electric hero was the first to respond and was able to come by the following day for a free quote while all other businesses needed to charge a fee just for coming out to give the quote. Rob came the next day and estimated an hour for all the jobs. I was quite surprised he thinks he could finish everything that fast. He came back the next day and indeed was able to fix everything in an hour. At the evening I found something didnt work as expected and texted Rob, he said not to worry and he would come back to take a look. He came the next day as promised and found a stupid mistake on my part and everything was working again.

Throughout the job, Rob wore a mask and took his shoes off when he needed to enter my place. He also kept social distance when we interacted.

Wonderful business.

I'm a bit late here (...by like a year...whatever....I'm BUSY)
Anyhow, last year Dan helped out with mounting tvs, installing light fixtures, and fixing a ceiling fan.  He was very punctual, courteous of my schedule (I told you I'm BUSY), and was able to get all the work done a timely manner.  Bay Area folks who need electrical work done, reach out to Dan.  He'll treat ya right -

Jim and his partner Felix came out to install 12 recessed lights in my new condo. They are very friendly, and did a great job. They also made sure to clean up after themselves and left the place clean of the saw dust. Loving the new lights!

I would definitely recommend Jim and work with him again on my next project. Thanks Jim.

Edwin and his team member Kelly did a fantastic job.  On a Sunday evening, my sub panel started arking and giving out static currents.  Edwin came over, diagnosed the problem and set up the appointment next morning to replace the sub panel which was an old Zinsco sub-panel.  Kelly and Edwin worked for 5-6 hours and replaced the sub-panel to quality standards.  Very happy with the work.  Thank you.

David was terrific with my breaker emergency. No frig, no internet!
He was able to help, found the breaker, and was done in no time.
Will call JR Electric in the future without a doubt.
