Best Businesses in California

Raphael was awesome - responded right away, came in quickly and diagnosed a small but complex problem and communicated his thinking and approach clearly as he worked on it (started right away). Reasonable fee as well. Would definitely recommend him.

Elvin helped to install an EV charger. His team also helped with securing city permits. I really appreciated Elvin's communication and responsiveness over SMS. I also think the pricing was very fair and I really liked that all my interaction was just with 1 person, whereas with other companies I had to deal with not just the contractors/technicians themselves but also salespeople, office managers, estimators, etc. which made things needlessly complex. I look forward to working with this company in the future.

The work was done on time and correctly, for which I give them two stars.  Would have been five if not for the relentless badgering for payment that began, literally, the minute the job was completed.  I didn't receive an invoice for three days after the job, at which point the day consisted of multiple texts, email, and phone messages demanding payment.  Further, the invoice was dated due five days before the work was scheduled, despite the $1000 deposit I paid.  There are many electrical service companies out there.  Find one that doesn't pay for fake reviews and won't treat you like a deadbeat and harass you nonstop until paid.

After browsing a long list of Tesla charger installers, I ultimately chose Fruitdale Electric. Within days of my initial contact, they visited my home and provided a quote, which was much faster than I expected.

On installation day, their technicians arrived promptly. They installed a Tesla gen 3 charger, surge protection, and ran electrical wiring through my attic to the opposite side of the house. Despite the terrible weather at the time, they delivered flawless work.

The location of the charger was a challenge due to the tight space, and I had anticipated conduit running outside of my house. However, they exceeded my expectations and executed an incredibly clean installation with no visible wires or conduits, leaving just a Tesla charger on the wall exactly where I wanted it. Most importantly, my car now charges at a rate of over 40mph, a significant improvement from the previous rate of 4mph.

My mom was returning home after surgery and needed a few critical things taken care of in her home. Jamil replied to my request for a quote promptly, and agreed to squeeze us in the next day. He fixed a broken toilet, a few poorly wired lights and outlets that had been out forever, and evaluated / made recommendations for a few additional projects. He was prompt, courteous, skilled, honest, and affordable. We've already signed him up for a few new projects.

Ed was very friendly and efficient. He answered all my questions patiently. It was very easy to coordinate with Ed over text, he not only provided me estimates quickly but also gave me multiple options. I really recommend Ed if you are looking to install EV charging station.

Johnathan was very helpful and professional. He came on time and quoted me reasonable rate to get the job done. I will be happy to call him again for next job

Gustavo and his team did an amazing job in a couple of days with immediate availability. Knowledgeable and did not push us to buy expensive brands.

The prices they quote are reasonable.
Crew is punctual and friendly.

I'd definitely recommend them !

Work order:
22 recessed lights , 3 points for ceiling fans and 1 GCFI outlet.
Costing was approximately 4k plus some equipment that I decided to purchase by myself.

I'll add a few images later.

We spent about 8 months remodeling our home before selling, and of all the contractors we dealt with, Moises and his team were the best. He is punctual, professional, and has a great work ethic. If you're reading this review and you're still not sure which electrician to choose, pick this one, you won't be disappointed.

Roman is knowledgable, honest, and does great work. He fixed and added an outlet for us and installed recessed lights in our living room.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Roman and Penguin Electric and plan to hire him for more projects.

The outlets under my sink for the garbage disposal and dishawasher weren't working.  I called in the morning and received a call back in the afternoon and he was able to do a quick Facetime call and walked me through making the quick reset on one of the breakers (about 5 mins).  The issue was resolved right away and there was no charge.  I appreciate his willingness to help and save me the time and money to have someone come out.  This is exactly the type of company I need as my local electrican; one that cares for customers and treats them like people.  I saved them in my phone for all my electrical issues I have in the future.  Highly recomend!

The electrician show up on time. Check out the problem and change the broken breaker.

Accidentally broke the water going to the toilet.  Had to turn off the water main right away since it was leaking water from the value.  So I start the search for a plumber.  AY EMP.  They came over looked at the problem and was able to fix it right away.  Great Work.  Very Clean Workers.  Very Knowledgeable.  Would hire them again.

James is absolutely AMAZING!  He provided a fair and honest quote right away for our electric panel upgrade.  He communicated with us timely and showed up right on time for the day of the install.  If you need any residential electric work, please call James.  He is honest, on time, knowledgeable and friendly.  We have found ourselves a great electrician!!

Knowledgeable and detail oriented approach provided. Needed upgrades to the electric panel to accommodate the switch from a gas to electric water heater. The team was able to diagnose the issue, fully communicate the available options, and help create a plan to address the situation. The team is RESPONSIVE and will definitely use them AGAIN. I highly recommend them.

I was looking to get my garden lights taken down and was on a time crunch since we were moving. Not only did Chuck respond quickly to the quote request but was able to look at the photos I shared to determine that it'd be a quick job. He was able to squeeze me into his schedule and got all of the light down carefully without breaking any of the bulbs in a little under an hour. He does charge for an hour minimum but the the efficiency and care, so worth it! Unfortunately we are moving out of his service area but if you need a handyman and live within his service area, give him a call!!!

Emanuel is my GO-TO electrician from now on.
He was responsive in setting up the appointment; on time and professional.  Pricing is competitive but not cheap.  You get what you pay for because his work is outstanding.  Work performed:
1.  Installed Ring Floodlight outside the garage
2.  Ground several outlets
3.  Added 1 outlet
4.  Installed 7 recessed lightings
5.  Installed light for side of the house.
Emanuel communicates perfectly as he provides suggestions/options so that you can decide which way to go depending on your taste.  They also did a great job of cleaning up after their work.
I will definitely reach out to him again for future projects.

We needed electrical work done for a gas insert. California Power and Light came recommended by California Window and Fireplace.  Mike and Javier were on time, and professional.  The job was done well and very quickly They kept the job site clean and cleaned up after they were done. The price was good and there were no problems.
We were very happy with the experience.
