Best Businesses in California

I'm glad that I found Raphael to fix an emergency electrical problem. I called Raphael for help with a burning smell on an electrical outlet. He provided a reasonable quote and came in on the same day. I initially pointed him to an outlet with no fault; he meticulously investigated the issue and quickly identify the root cause and proposed a solution that has minimal damage to our property and low cost. I highly recommend Raphael to anyone looking for electricians.

Excellent service.

Elvin was very friendly. Was able to come on very short notice to provide a quote. Very clearly explained what he needed to do and what limitations there were due to the house's construction.

On the day of the job was clear to communicate ETA. Elvin and crew cleaned up any drywall dust from cutting a new hole and was respectful of the property.

Would contact again!

These guys are GREAT!!! We recently bought an older house in the Bay and they did a full list of work including:
- 200amp panel upgrade
- Sub panel upgrade
- Ground system installation
- Tesla wall charger install
- And a whole list of internal upgrades including lights, fans, outlets and switches.

There prices were super fair and reasonable and even gave better pricing for bulk work. They showed up on time and got everything done in a clean and professional manner. I don't often write reviews but enjoyed working with them so much I felt I should. I can't stress this enough, Omri and his team did an OUTSTANDING JOB!!! We've referred them to our friends and you shouldn't hesitate to use them!! Again, huge thank you!

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.

Had several scopes of work that Jamil helped with, started with 2 and grew to 4 projects inside and outside the house (subfloor install, raised header for door, patched wall, repaired exterior fence that was damaged) and all were completed timely. Jamil and his crew are punctual, clean and very respectful of the house.

Would definitely recommend and hire again.

Ed is the most professional, kind, open, knowledgeable, patient and honest person I've met and communicated with throughout finding the right person to help us with our Gen 3 Tesla Wall Connector. It is a no brainer to have him help guide you for your EV charging solution needs and his rates were quite reasonable for the quality of work he provides and the care he gives to his clients. What are you waiting for? Reach out and see if he's a match to your EV charging needs.

Our home was already prewired to install a car charger. So easy way of doing this was to have a NEMA 14-15 outlet installed into the junction box. But we wanted to have a wall connector just so we have the option to get the fastest charging we could at home and since we didn't get a mobile charger, might as well utilize that $200 credit from Tesla right?

I started my search through Yelp and started a project. I initially reached out to 5 other companies before I landed with Ed. One told me flat out, I couldn't install the wall connector with our current set up in the garage and that installing a NEMA 14-15 outlet was the only option. This was suspect as they had installed our neighbor's wall connector and also increased their breaker to 60 amps from 50. Also he's done so many other people's wall connectors in the area that I felt like he just didn't want to do my easy work. Another told me that they could install above the junction box by pulling wires through the wall. Another (who was a Tesla recommended electrician) said they could do it to the side of the junction box or above. Another just had an extravagant price that I was like...yeah no. Another had the cheapest price, but the work they did in our neighbor's garage was far less than aesthetic with an external flexible metal conduit from the junction box to the wall connector.

I was about to settle with one of the 5 but my last interaction with our initial chosen company left me with slight anxiety and just something didn't feel right. So I tried one more search on Yelp. I saw EV Charging Solutions was in Tracy, but he did service our area (Fremont) so I took a breath and sent him my project alongside a few photos of our current setup and the breaker box and just hoped for the best. Basically same day, he asked a couple more questions and provided me with the clearest, step-by-step, line itemized what I'd do to get this done and a straight forward quote that was very reasonable. My interaction with him versus the other companies was like night and day. It was a breath of fresh air. I didn't feel like I was questioning my sanity because I knew this could be done and placed right above the junction box with little to no problems. At this point my gut told me, this is the guy. He's the one and this is why I shouldn't settle.

I then asked when he would be available, and we scheduled roughly a couple weeks out which worked out perfectly for me.

Ed texted me the day prior to our appointment to confirm the time and date. He also texted me as he was on route to our home. When he arrived, he was as pleasant to talk with as on Yelp messaging. He did provide another option for us when he saw our set up in person in case we wanted to keep the junction box as is, but we did end up just going with the initial suggestion of placing on top of the junction box and also increasing our breaker to 60 amps as our wiring was able to handle it. He was never pushy and he welcomed any of our electrical questions.

After deciding the setup, Ed basically said it would take roughly an hour to do everything including wifi setup. And true to his word, basically in about an hour, everything was done, he texted me to come out to the garage (we may have not heard him knock on the garage door as it was a little further from where we were), and our wall connector was beautifully installed. It was what I envisioned and he made it to reality. He showed us some photos of the inside wiring, showed us how to use the wall connector as well as some tips about charging. He again asked us if we had any questions and he kindly answered all of our concerns. As a Tesla owner himself, it was great to pick his brain just to ensure what I've been learning/researching was in line with his experience.

After everything, I easily paid through Venmo. He also takes other payments just ask :)

Like many folks in Yelp have said, Ed is very easy to talk with, calm, skillful, detail oriented, professional, knowledgeable, honest, and just overall a really really great person who takes great pride in his work and takes great care of his clients/customers. His expertise in EV charging left me with very little to worry about when hiring him to get our wall connector installed. Thanks Ed!

I highly recommend Ed to anyone and everyone who needs any EV charging solution needs. So...stop reading, go and reach out to him already!

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 Yovani are responsive and reliable. Replaced my lights and switch as expected.

We had Moises come to install a Tesla charging station and he was awesome! Called him on Tuesday and he came by the same evening to review the setup in our garage, provided a very reasonable quote and setup an appointment for Thursday. On Thursday he was right on time and finished the job perfectly. He even goes the extra bit in getting all the supplies needed and suggests improvements that you can do. I love his work ethic and promptness. His rates are also much cheaper than others in the area and quality of work is top notch. Moises is always going to be my go to electrician in the Bay Area. Thank you, Moises!

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.

Did a great job installing some light fixtures and switches. Very efficient and it works great. Also had them add a breaker to the main panel a few months back when we added solar. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of electric work

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

Andrew was amazing he was on time, polite, knowledgeable, and quick he was able to replace my old water heater quickly at a reasonable price would highly recommend Andrew and his crew

James is fantastic! First time I ever used him and I can see why he is a 5-star!  I will never call anyone other than SV Electric.  He is meticulous, professional, personable, and very reasonably priced. I own 3 SFR rentals in Morgan Hill, and I have given all of my tenants his # to call, directly, because that's how much I trust James. In the past 4 years, I have dealt with 2 other electricians.  I needed over 30 recessed CFL light fixtures replaced with LED fixtures.  One electrician told me that there would probably be ceiling damage during the process and gave me a ridiculous estimate.  I texted James a picture of the light fixtures and he told me what it would cost without going on-site, first.  He did the job in a few hours. He covered everything. . .neatly replaced the recessed light fixtures, and vacuumed. . .he left absolutely no sign that any work had been done.  Thank you, James. . .see ya' next time.

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.

My husband contacted Charles this afternoon and he stopped by the same day to fix a number of electrical problems we had around the house.  Chuck was very friendly and knowledgeable.  He fixed a broken outlet under our sink and a couple lighting issues around the house.  Very pleased with his prompt, friendly and reasonably priced services.  Will definitely call him again!

These two guys did a fantastic job setting up a designated 220 line for my wall oven they were very efficient very personal and joyed their company and hiring them to do my electrical work. In the future if I need any electrical work I know who to go to.

Can't speak highly enough of Henry from California Power and Light!  

Our outlets went out in one room of our home. He was able to quickly come out, access the situation and complete the job all within an hour.

It wasn't a typical issue. But backed by his 30 years of experience he was able to troubleshoot and pinpoint the problem area quickly.

He was professional and friendly.

This is our second time getting his assistance. Happy to know his been a Morgan Hillian for over a 20 years. Thank you, Henry!
