Best Businesses in California

Fred installed a camera doorbell and fixed my door so it would close properly. Great job!

David did an excellent job putting in a new circuit to charge my EV.  He was on time and on budget.  Very pleasant to work with and cleaned up when he was done.

Nice and efficient worker. He came soon to solve the issue. He is very confident about his skills.

From start to finish, Safety First Electrical Inc was absolutely outstanding!  My request for last minute electrical needs on a Friday afternoon was met with nothing but outstanding customer service and electrical expertise!  Everything the company said they would do to help me, they did exactly that.  Call backs in a very timeline manner, overview of what they could do to assist me and upfront details of service and prices were all so much appreciated.  I was provided with a window of time the service would take place and they provided me both phone calls and ongoing text messages to ensure i was updated about the service and when the electrician was en route.
Everyone who works with Safety First Electrical is absolutely excellent at their jobs and i highly recommend them to anyone who needs electrical services!

Sam was great! He was very fast and responsive. He installed a walk in closet, caulked a window, and kitchen cabinets for us. He finished the job within 2 days! Thanks again Sam.

Larry is professional and trustworthy.
He took time explaining to me how I miswired an outlet and did a nice job replacing a broken electrical box. He also finished the job by cleaning all the dust.
I'm happy to have Larry do the work and definitely recommend him to everyone else.

I wrote Fitch Electric via Yelp to request electrical inspection of an old home. We had our first call the same day and 2 qualified electricians were sent out to my home the following day. The electricians were highly knowledgeable and took time to educate me on the electrical system as they checked under outlets. They were honest and reasonable with their feedback on what needed to be done. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for electrical work.

Have been living at my current resident for more than 10 years, and never had any problems except circuit breaking pop and reset. This time the electricity wasn't working, and Mopia guys found a potential fire hazard that whoever install this outlet upstairs was a Moran. Replaced and installed new wiring that made everything work again. The boss or owner was professional and check on me after job was done. I will hire these guys again. The other thing I like about the service is, that they put booties on their shoes so they don't track crap all over my house. Thanks guys

I cannot speak highly enough of Robert Chen He arrived on time and went over what we wanted to be done. We wanted him to install a ring flood light. We had no power source where we wanted it installed so he had to get a power source for the flood light. While getting the  power from another source he noticed that the work that had been done by someone else had not been done correctly and he repaired that and brought it up to code.
The work he did was professional His pricing is very reasonable and he is licensed. If your looking for a electrician he is the man for you.

I am very happy with Antonio's work on our opened drywall ceiling. The final outcome is what I wanted. It is hard to imagine there was any opening there at all. He  closed it, matched the texture, went same evening to  a store and bought some paint.  He was going back and forth to his car for tools and never forgot to wear shoe protectors. He fixed the light that was not working too. It was ultra easy to hire him. I think I got lucky on one of those crazy rainy days. He responded to my message very quickly and was at my place fixing the ceiling in like 1.5 hours. Wow. I was trying to hire the drywall guy here at yelp for a week going back and forth through his manager and I hired Antonio in a blink of an eye. The bonus: he charges very reasonably. I liked his attitude and demeanor as well. I cannot thank Antonio enough and plan to hire him for more projects around my house.

Juan was awesome. Quick reply, professional and cheerful while working. He solved my issue with a circuit breaker and rewired an outlet (and at a considerably lower price than other electricians had quoted). Great watching a pro at work.

Great experience! Dan showed up promptly on time, gave me a competitive price for my 220v install in the garage and finished the job within an hour with no mess made and a seamless install.  I would highly recommend BAM and will plan on using them in the future for any electrical issues.

We loved working with the Got Watts team on our recent solar and backup battery project. We had been thinking about installing solar panels and a backup battery for some time and the PG&E safety shutoff programs in the fall is what finally made us commit. We reached out to Got Watts immediately and were lucky enough to with Sam on our solar design. She answered all of our questions, provided a TON of thoughtful options for us to consider and helped us pick a system setup that was within our budget and achieved the 110% energy offset that we were seeking. She provided detailed specs using satellite images of our roof and designed for areas that get the most amount of sun. We also got a Pika backup battery to give us reserve power in the event of a full shutoff. Once we picked a design, our project coordinator Lindsay took care of all the paperwork and PG&E applications. She provided a very helpful step-by-step guide of what we should expect before, during, and after the installation. The install only took 4 days! James and Alex were absolute wizards in getting all of the panels, wiring, batteries, and panel upgrades installed. They were extremely easy to coordinate with when they needed our input to make a decision. James and I would even Facetime when it came to setting up the internet connectivity for our backup battery and he needed my help to test our network while I was at work. When it was all done, Jeremy, who runs got Watts, and Sam, our designer, came out and gave me a detailed overview of the system especially our backup battery. We've had it up and running for several weeks now and it's so satisfying to watch our entire house run off of the sun during the day and then switch over to the battery during peak PG&E billing hours. We're excited that our electric bills will essentially vanish and that we now have the peace of mind during any outage scenario all thanks to the Got Watts team! We would absolutely recommend Got Watts for solar and electrical work.

Very good experience. Arrived half hour late. Knowledgeable and a good problem solver. Installed outlet for car charger and replaced outlet in bedroom. Reasonably priced.  Got the job done quickly and efficiently. Willing to come out on a Sunday with no extra fee!

***UPDATE***
So a few months after I'd left the messages and wrote the 1-star review, Steve called me. He apologized and explained that he'd been dealing with some family issues. He had also let go one of the workers who had done my electrical. After making an appointment to come out the following week, I sent him my list of things that needed to be fixed, detailed in my original review.

As promised, Chris came out on Monday. He was on time--even early--friendly and courteous. Chris made some recommendations on how to fix some of the problems, did the work, and also saved the day with some quick thinking. He also changed out a motion detector switch to a regular one even though it was out of scope.

Steve himself came out and we smoothed things over. I was happy to have the work completed quickly and even talked to him about coming back to install a new light over my dining table.

Although I would have preferred the work had been done properly originally, Steve takes pride in his work and I know he felt bad that there had been issues.

I understand when family matters come up, and I told him as much. However, I do think he should have left an outgoing voice message explaining that he was taking time off and would not be returning calls for an extended amount of time.

I was actually about to hire another electrician to fix all the problems, so I would been pretty upset if I had done so only to have Steve contact me afterward.

***ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW***

My initial experience with Steve and John, who were recommended by my contractor, was good. However, I've now left two messages this year for Steve asking him to come back and fix small issues that came up within weeks of my moving back into my remodeled home: canned light went out, dimmer makes a buzzing noise, smoke alarm fell off my master bedroom ceiling. And the big one: fans in both baths come on when heat/air does and not necessarily when they should. I.e., when I'm showering and the bathroom steams up.

I'm sure all of these problems are easy to fix, so I'm frustrated that I've left two very polite messages (one on Steve's cell phone; one at the shop) and still haven't received a call back in over two weeks. I spent more than $10k with Southwest and thought Steve and John were very professional and helpful during the remodel. I think it's very unprofessional now for Steve to not follow up on these issues that I've documented through date-stamped photos.

I think it's interesting that the majority of these 5-star reviews for Southwest are from people who don't write many reviews. This can be a sign of business owners asking for favorable reviews in return for providing a discount. If you're researching electricians or any other businesses on Yelp, I recommend doing your homework. Just because the business has 5-star reviews does not mean they truly are a 5-star business.

We were pretty unsatisfied with this install. We booked a new HVAC through Costco but were pretty disappointed in the execution. It's been two months since the day they started, and we are still having them come fix things before we can get the inspection. We were without heat for days during a heat wave, because they didn't have parts they needed. (Why didn't they know what they needed before they started?) Then they needed more parts and we had to wait another month. They cut the wiring to our drip irrigation/landscaping and put it back together wrong, which we didn't figure out until half of our garden died from not getting watered. They put the metal pieces on our artificial turf while they were installing which burned parts of the grass which now looks awful. They've taken no responsibility for any of these errors, and claimed they couldn't have been responsible for the burned grass even though it wasn't there the day before the install and then it was. They put the thermostat in a new and very odd place without calling me at work to discuss it first (in between a picture frame and a door jam in a very visible area) and said they'd move it but of course it would damage the wall.. Ugh. Just overall very not slick, not responsive, not responsible for their screw-ups, and not competent.
I'm not sure why Costco uses them. :(

I bought a new washer. After used it for only a few days, I cannot turn it on. My husband checked breaker panel and turn it on and off couple of times but the outlet still does not have electric. I think it is beyond our safety zone to fix it by ourselves, so I searched my nextdoor and found couple of recommendations for Jason. I am so glad we called him. He found the neutral line for washer outlet was lose, seems previous electrician did not tight it up and it can be pull off at the site. That neutral line has burned and it could cause fire if not been fixed! Jason told me that normally he will do diagnostic before he drove to client home to save their money if it may just need to reset breaker panel. I will definitely call him again if I need an  electrician.

I have used John's company twice now. Once to hook up a hot tub which is straightforward, and he did a good job, so when I needed to get bids on installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet (for electric car), I asked John to bid it and out of three bids, John was the only one who can figure out how I can squeeze the most electricity out of my panel without having to pull more electricity from PG&E nor settle for a 30amp outlet. The cost savings was massive.

John knows electricity and is a smart guy. And his prices are very competitive

My advice for everyone; no need to shop around; John's your guy.

We hired Five or Free Electrical Solutions few months ago for rewiring 7 of our circuits, Alexis &  Gilbert and the rest of their team were super friendly and professional from the beginning to the end. They communicated what they intended to do and they did exactly that! They finished our electrical project with EXCELLENCE, they passed the inspection and left our home neat. We would definitely use their service again in the future and will highly recommend their service to others!
