Best Businesses in California

Great communication and very responsive! I replaced my ceiling light and it did not work. Fred came by the next day. Helped me check the wiring and changed my dimmer switch. Apparently yhe dimmer was old and not working well. Great experience. Thanks!

David is wonderful to work with. He is meticulous and careful. He is a terrific communicator and has a very reasonable rate. We are thrilled with the work he's done in our home. First, he came same day to fix a light switch in our daughter's room that had started smoking (!). A few month later, we had him return to install recessed lighting as well as a new dining room fixture.  He worked hard to make sure we were happy with the results (we are!).

Fridge kept tripping the breaker box and eventually caused it to pop and sizzle. I put out a request on Yelp for electricians.

LHP responded immediately and was the first person to tell me a time they were free and a price for the work. Saved me a lot of time calling people back and getting estimates, coordinating schedules, etc. His price was fair and upfront.

He also seemed genuinely happy to be teaching me what happened with the panel. He took pictures, showed me the burned out breaker, and explained everything to me. He is knowledgeable and patient and seems to be a solid person. Highly recommend.

Very quick to get back to me. He does very clean work and was able to get it done on the same day. Very professional electrician.

SM repair fixed faulty outlets for me. He was on time, honest, easy to work with, knowledgeable, and fair. I will not hesitate to do business with him for my future home repair needs.

I called ELS Electric this morning because our oven keeps tripping the breaker and this last time we smelled some burning near the electrical panel. Larry returned my call within 10 mins and after discussion the issue he said he would be over in a few hours.

They checked both the main panel and sub panel, tightened a connection and determined that both panels looked fine. They did find that one of the two hot lines to the oven was drawing more current than the other, and that it was possible a problem with the oven it's self, or there was a problem on PG&E's end outside the house (which was likely because we do get some dimming of lights in the house). We agreed that he should replace the breaker to be on the safe side and that then we would know for sure that wasn't the problem. It wasn't the breaker. Larry suggested that I call PG&E before calling an appliance repair person and even wrote down some notes for me on what he learned so I could give the information to PG&E and/or the appliance person.

A short time later PG&E showed up, he looked over then notes and we talked about everything Larry had done and told me. Sure enough he found the connections in the box in the ground our front yard were badly corroded, and in fact that the technology was very old and should be replaced and put in an work order to replace them. The corrosion was so bad he was unable to clean them and a crew will be out in the morning.

Larry worked hard to find a solution to my problem without breaking my bank and I really appreciate that. Both Larry and Dan were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They spent more time than the one hour service call but only charged me for that one service call plus the cost of the breaker. My husband has been feeling like we need to upgrade our electrical panel and Larry assured me that although he would love to take my money we really do not need to upgrade our panel. The work would be costly and it really is not necessary (the PG&E technician also agreed with this assessment). So, add trustworthy to the list.

If and when I have a need for an electrician in the future I will be calling ELS Electric!

Just wanted to send a shout-out to Fitch Electric. I was looking for someone that could come add a new outlet in our garage for our new treadmill. I got ahold of Lucas, he took my information and had someone out the next day! Martin came out and did a fantastic job, was super quick and cleaned up his mess. Couldn't be happier. Thanks

Randy, the owner, responded during his lunch hour to my emergency phone call.
He quickly spotted the problem and VOILA...now my oven works!!
Thanks for a great job.
Pam in Pleasanton

Great Electrician. Honest. Professional. I plan on hiring Chen anytime I need electrical work on my Oakland home.

Antonio is a very reliable handyman and puts his 200% on the job and has no short cuts. He helped with TV installation on the wall.

Amazing! I'm in a townhouse and my upstairs/downstairs light switches were being difficult. I called Juan Peralta, and he was able to come out the next afternoon and fix whatever was wrong. Imagine: I can turn my lights on and off whenever I want. (Sounds silly, but it was a pain in the neck.) Juan was prompt, quick, knew exactly what needed to be done, and brought the replacement parts with him. I will definitely call him again for any electrical problems.

Based on my great experience, Dan really wants to help for the sake of helping, not just about making the buck. Good old-fashioned values.  Solved my problem without a service call! I had a problem wiring my new smart thermostat.  Couldn't get power on it, and spent a few hours online trying to troubleshoot, and with the manufacturer who said it was a problem beyond their thermostat so I should call a service technician.  I finally gave up and tried to reinstall the old thermostat, ...which then wouldn't work anymore.  Grrr.

I knew it all was likely just a simple wiring problem.  I was so reluctant to pay for a service call if it was just a $3 fuse or something beyond my scant knowledge. Finally I phoned a competitor (Sunny Appliance Repair) who offered a service call for $185, which might solve it.  As pricey as that sounds, they at least answered the phone and gave me a quote - others I called didn't respond. But I just couldn't stomach shelling out the cash and the hassle of missing work to meet someone at the house, for what was no doubt a 10 minute fix. Then I read Dan's reviews, and briefly outlined my dilemma through request for quote on Yelp's page to Dan and two other companies, Sunny and AIS.  The email went out around 5:45 pm.

I heard back from Dan right away via email.  BAM!  It was almost like a commercial, so fast.  And in no time, he was troubleshooting briefly - did I try this? What about that?  Guess what.  He solved it with just a few brief back-and-forth emails. I offered to send him $ even though he didn't ask. He saved me so much hassle.  And even if I did end up needing his help for a service call, I'm confident he'd be fast and fair.

I did hear back from the other two the next day, asking the usual what is your zip code? and no doubt preparing to quote a service call. So it's good they replied, but it would have been a frustrating service call no doubt.  

You know how, when you live in town for a long, long time, you have your trusted service people that you've known forever, and you call when you need help?  It's hard to find those people when you're new in town.  Found one!

We decided to explore GoWatts after receiving two quotes from competitive companies. We provided a very detailed description of what we needed to upgrade our heating system to add HVAC. Gowatts was pretty booked so we had to wait a month to schedule an appointment. On the day of the appointment Eric Shaefer reached out saying he is pretty busy because of ongoing inspections and that this company only does electric work and not HVAC (really, why are you advertising it on your website??)... Bottom line they were uninterested to work with us on this project and found excuses to cancel. I wish we knew a month earlier so that we could have worked with one of the other vendors and have the system already installed. Really unprofessional... Will never contact again for any house work.

Came on time. Did the job properly. Happy with the results. Would recommend them.

Wanted an exhaust fan installed in the garage. Hancock and Albert talked me through the process. Spent the time carefully measuring and cutting the right space. Sealed the holes after and cleaned up.

I've had Steve and Mike of Southwest Electric work on my house multiple times, and they do really terrific work.

They can do a wide range of jobs, including simple home fixes to They are a locally-owned business, extremely personable, and very professional in their work. Steve (the owner) always comes out personally to check on the job, and they get things done promptly and correctly. As my house is a 1970's era house, it really helps to have somebody who knows all the particulars (oddities?) of how the wiring works in the neighborhood.

I've had SW Electric work on my pool equipment, my interior lighting, add a ceiling fan, add attic fans, etc -- their prices are always reasonable and they take care of me quickly.

Had a good experience with Bellows when we had a sewer project in the Santa Cruz area. Called them for another project in the South Bay where we had sewer water overflowing in the front yard. Was able to get an appointment for inspection/evaluation in a matter of a couple of days. However, even before showing up for the in-person appointment, the Tech called ahead to clarify what we were experiencing and told me that it might be an issue covered by the city and I should consult them first before having a paid service call by Bellows -- as it was likely a lateral drain/sewer line blockage covered by the city. Sure enough, the city Sanitary District Dept came out to take a look and said it was in fact their job to clear the blockage close to the main. Thanks Bellows for the excellent customer service!

I contacted Jason for several electrical issues and he called me one morning and said he could come over in about 15 minutes. He came over with several guys and a few of my jobs turned out to be a bit more complicated and it became clear to me that because Jason squeezed me in, he didn't really have enough time to take care of all of my projects, in spite of the fact that I had not indicated that my issues were immediate. He left having handled only 2 issues, but left 2 other issues, half finished. It was clear that they were having trouble figuring out how to fix them, and that they needed to be somewhere else and couldn't give those projects the time they needed.  He told me he would come back, but then I didn't hear back from him. I was really disappointed, because he has good reviews, and maybe had he scheduled me with a regular time slot instead of squeezing me in, I would have gotten full service and he would have had all of my projects completed.

Jon and his team are true professionals. He is not only a professional, he is patient, communicates well, experts at what they do and also an overall nice guy.  

This goes for his team too. They setup my electrical for my hot tub and I am really really pleased!

They were fantastic and I highly recommend.  Alex our Technican was professional, courteous, fair, and just flat out awesome.
