Best Businesses in California

We had an emergency on a holiday(!) weekend when we lost power to our refrigerator and other kitchen appliances, and unable to reset from panel. Raphael came out on the holiday, within 2 hours, and assessed the problem. He offered a temporary solution, while explaining clearly & in detail that we needed a new upgraded panel so as not to have a repeat occurrence.  We are not the home's original owners and through the years work had apparently been done but not to the level needed for newer, high energy consumption appliances. Raphael & his crew arrived on time for the job, completed it as scheduled; work was tidy and clean.  Even the permitting inspector commented on the new panel!
Raphael's professionalism & experience showed; he was very responsive by phone/text/email.  We would not hesitate to use his services again, and would readily refer him and his crew.

Our project includes upgrading our existing 100A circuit breaker panel to 200A, add a 60A EV charger, a 240V/50A outlet for a new electric cooktop and a spare 240V/50V for future electric water heater in the garage.  Elvin was exceptional from the quoting process to job completion. He always kept us informed of the actions that he would take during the work.  The job was done professionally with high quality and exactly as agreed in the contract.  There were no surprises and the total cost was reasonable.  I highly recommend Araz Electric.  I would definitely hire them again.  

Btw, the owner is also a great guy.  He stopped by during the project and got our power up and running early. Kudos.

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.

Jamil and team are very responsive. We had foundation work done, which messed up our front door. It would barely open. He replaced the lock and handle and rebalanced the door so it's working fine now. Professional and stays on schedule (something I always appreciate).

Update: Jamil returned last friday, installed a bolt lock on one door, repaired another one and added a lock to my garage, and three small door latches- all done quickly and efficiently.

Ed from Ev Charging solutions has installed a 3rd Gen Tesla Wall connector in my garage and their service is great. Getting in touch was super easy. Ed is responsive and I was able to get an appointment for a week away. He was on time and very friendly. The service was impeccable. He is definitely the Pro. He took a good look at the panel and suggested me a spot for the installation and took my inputs in positioning the charger. Finished the job in about an hour. He was kind enough to fix a couple of outlets in my home that were pulled out by another electrician. That's some great customer centric stuff.

I would highly recommend Ed for EV charger installation.  Simple scheduling process, punctual, reasonable price, great installation, works well with customer's choices and ideas.

Contacted Right Away Electric (Jonathan) to get a quote on adding 2 to 3 new electrical lines for a master bath renovation.  He responded to my request for a quote promptly and was able to get out the same morning to see the work site.  Meeting him went very well - he was prompt, courteous, professional, honest, and gave me a good idea what the work would entail.  By that afternoon, I had his quote in hand and gave him the green light go go ahead.  He was flexible with the start date (I moved it out from a Monday to a Tuesday and he accommodated with no problem).  Tuesday morning came around and he was early to start at the agreed time (great!).  Working efficiently, he did the job as discussed and even went ahead and helped wire one of the lines to be optionally 240V - something I had thought about but wasn't fully sure.  With his expert help, I can now run 120V or 240V depending on my future needs.  Very satisfied with his work, his diligence, attention to detail, responsiveness, and courteous demeanor.  I wish Jonathan all the luck in growing his business and look forward to calling upon him again in the future.  Thanks!

We are very happy with the work that Gustavo and his team did.  Gustavo came by and conducted a thorough inspection--very professional.  He is very knowledgeable and identified our electrical issues and scheduled a quick turn-around job to get them fixed.  His team was on-site at the scheduled time and they completed our project efficiently.

We can rely on them for future projects/renovations, and we recommend them for you as well.

Excellent service and price.  My outlets went out in one part of my house and it wasn't the panel.. I couldn't find anyone to come out right away but Moises came out as soon as he finished the job he was working on. I had a short on a kitchen outlet and caused the rest in that area to go out which included the TV in the family room. He replaced the outlets and fixed the short. Now that I found someone reliable next project is recessed lights.

Overall great experience! Scheduling was easy, work done well (installed energy monitor). Will definitely use penguin in the future

Asked for a quote got a really fair quote within minutes, scheduled an appointment quickly, flexible with me about time, arrived exactly when he said he would, very professional hi quality work, exceeded my expectations. Overall a great local business to deal with.

I would not even give this company one star if I didn't have to.  Do NOT do business with this company, if they are even in existence anymore.  I made two separate appointments on their own Yelp page, was confirmed for a two hour window both times.  I left work both times and was at home the entire time, both no shows, no call, no anything.  I also left two phone messages asking for a callback and nothing.  This behavior is very unprofessional!  I called another electrician, made an appointment, they arrived at the appointed time and fixed the problem.  Not that difficult.

Very disappointing since the reason we called them in the first place was a good experience the first time we used them.

Professional and efficient work. Addressed my primary project requests and also took time to fix additional issues. Finished the work in a timely manner and made sure to clean up after. Great value.

Wonderful job!
Had the owner, James and his assistant Brandon over this weekend to install recessed lighting. They did an AMAZING job. The lights look great and it was a huge job that they managed to get done in record time. They arrived at 7am and immediately got to work busting out light after light.
They were also extremely clean when working and actually vacuumed when finished. I think my floor is cleaner now than it was before they came. LOL.
I got quotes from multiple electricians and all were either more expensive, less experienced or just flat out sketchy. SV electric gave the most competitive quote- the best timeline and seemed by far the most knowledgeable. The owner even worked with us to change the quote a million times to fit our budget which was very appreciated because changing the quote over and over again I am sure gets annoying. :-p
Originally we expected the lights for the house to be put in over 2 days, but thanks to the tireless work of James and Brandon- they were actually able to do the install in 1 day.
Amazing considering other electricians were going to charge more and expected the project to take anywhere from 3-5 days.
Very pleased with the high quality and fair pricing. Even the little screws on the light switches are lined up with each other..... a small detail that it speaks volumes about the attention to detail and the actions they take to do things the right way when working.
We happened to have a friend over while the work was being done and our friend who has also been looking for an electrician and was super impressed at the speed and diligence taken during the install.
Going to have SV back out to do more electrical work in the future. So glad we went with SV and didn't fall for one of the other more expensive companies on Yelp who estimated 3 days or the cheaper handyman electrician who claimed it would take a week to do.

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.

Chuck was great -- on time, professional, and pleasant. He fixed my professional problems efficiently and without fuss. I'm so happy to have found him!

Called him late in the afternoon yesterday. He responded right away to my call. I called several companies and never got a return call from anyone else. He came over today and fixed our breaker. He was very nice and polite. He wasn't expensive at all. I will definitely recommend him and use him again!

I ran into Henry and his team this morning by accidents in my neighborhood while he was on his way to meet his client. So happy to have talked to him. 20 minutes later, he was at my place, diagnosing the inconsistent fixture issues, which apparently another household in the community was having the same problem, proposed a solution with a very reasonable pricing. The crew showed up on time, were very polite, worked on the project efficiently, and cleaned up nicely when they finished the job. Henry was also at my house in the end to ensure everything was carried out as planned.  Also, they all wore masks and were very respectful to the household environment given that we currently work from home with virtual work meetings. Thanks Henry and team again for providing such great work. The house looks more beautiful now that the lighting/energy temperature is consistent throughout!
