Outside fountain electric plug stopped working. While it is a decoration, it is also my dogs water source so I have to get it replaced! Thank you for the quick response and good work!

We had several electrical outlets that lost power. Anthony came out and diagnosed the problem quickly and gave a reasonable estimate for repair. He was able to finish the job about an hour after he came out. Thanks again

Wow- finally a dependable (and available) electrician!!
I was referred to LAM- we had a great experience with owner and crew. There were several electrical fixes around the house that weren't substantial enough to get interest from other electricians. Called LAM, got owner to come out next day and start work following day.
Crew cleaned up after themselves and got done after two visits with positive results- everything works great and price was extremely reasonable! I've already referred Mr. Binh to several folks- I will definitely use him again!

Great Electrician!
After getting few bids, I decided to try this company after I saw a review for a Eichler panel upgrade. Pricing was fair than most of the other bids I got.
Job schedule was flexible and they were able to upgrade my Eichler panel to 200amp at the same location where the old panel was with minimum downtime. (No overnight without power). The job was clean and passed inspection on the first time. (^_^)
If you are looking to get your Eichler power panel upgraded, make sure you talk to these guys!

I highly recommend Zurc Power Solutions for all your solar needs. Francisco is very knowledgeable and can easily explain the intricacies of going solar. They installed our system 3 years ago and have kept in touch by monitoring our system to make sure everything is working properly. I've referred him to friends and they are all very happy with their systems. Best of all, in this heat we can keep our house cool and we actually got money back at the end of the year. It's easy to do. Just call Zurc Power Solutions and get your solar installed today.

Rob helped us with a wonky light fixture and plug. He was friendly, helpful, thorough- made sure to explain the why and how. Helped me figure out if we should replace an exhaust fan, what it would take to install a new one, and talking me out of a higher-priced option. Highly recommend him!

Ben came out during this pandemic to help us swap an evse during the pandemic. He came out gloved and wearing an n95 mask, and we both maintained distance.
He was effective, thorough, timely and very pleasant.
I will be contacting him again on the other side of this for some electrical repairs we need at our house when things are closer to normal.
Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Vinh and his crew are top notch! They are very professional, personable, responsive and did very good and detailed work for a new home my wife and I bought. This is our second time working with him, actually.
The first time was for a quote on some work for a previous condo. He spent the time to walk through the condo, talk through the options I had, gave me his availability and quoted me a very reasonable price. Even though my wife and I decided to pass on the painting for the condo at that time because we decided to look for another home, I remembered his quality customer service and the time he had given us for the quote.
When it came time for the new home we bought, we called him again for some work to be done. He and his team worked with us on a time that worked best for us, again gave us a reasonable quote, and delivered a top quality job. We are thrilled with the results! Even on the way out, he assured me that he is available in case we found anything that needed his attention. If anything were to come up, he promised that he would make sure to address it, again showing his top-notch customer service. (FYI - everything was perfect; we had no issues at all). He cares that his customers are happy with the job he and his crew did. Additionally, he and his team did a great job replacing some very old square-shaped recessed lights with the more modern (and circular) ones prior to painting our ceilings.
My wife and I found our go-to guys for any painting and lighting needs we have for now and the future. Thanks again Vinh and crew! You guys have a customer for life in us and we won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone who has any painting, lighting, or even home security installation needs (they do that too!)

I got very busy at work, and was hoping to pay an electrician to come out and fix two simple problems:
* One of our main breakers started flipping when we ran our heater and dryer at the same time.
* A bathroom light fixture stopped working and was not getting power.
When the technician (Jay) arrived, he said he could not fix anything, but would instead give us an estimate. He was at our home for 2 hours looking things over. At the end of the two hours, nothing was diagnosed. Instead, he provided an estimate for over $21,000 to rip everything out and replace it all. That did not include his guess for another $4,000 to obtain a permit. Apparently, if they aren't able to diagnose the problem, they just propose to replace everything! Even better, he charged $600 for the estimate.
To put this in context, this would be like taking your car to the mechanic with a flat tire, and them saying you need to replace the car.
When I called the owner of the business (Mike) to ask what merited a $600 charge for this estimate, he informed me that if the tech has to use a tool during the estimating process (pretty sure he used a flat-head screwdriver ... that's all I used), it's $300 per hour, even though they don't actually fix anything.
I called a few other electricians who were as dumfounded as I was by this. NONE of them charge for estimates!
And now the rest of the story -
I was pretty sure this was some kind of con. I'm not an electrician, but I have basic handy skills. For the first problem they could not diagnose and wanted to charge over $20,000 to rip everything out and replace it all... I used a flat-head screwdriver to open the panel and remove the inside cover. Once I did this, I could immediately see corrosion on the wire leads going into the breaker. I spent 10 minutes with a scotch-brite pad ($1.50) and some Ox-Gard ($15) to clean up corrosion on one of the breaker leads inside my electrical panel. After fully testing the system (turning on every electric appliance in the house) I can verify this is fixed.
For the second problem where they quoted $1000 to open up dry wall and rewire to another power source - I opened up the box with a flat-head screw driver to discover a melted twist connector. When I cut the melted connector off, I could see the inside of the twist connector was also corroded thereby causing arcing that ultimately melted the connector and created an open circuit. In simple speak, I removed the melted connector, cleaned up the wires, and put on a new connector (~$.10). Everything works now. No drywall was harmed.
So for those of you keeping score, I paid about $16.10 and LESS THAN 2 hours of my time to save over $25,000.
My wife was with the tech when he was fumbling around for 2 hours, trying to diagnose the 2 problems. I was not. You can make your own assumptions for how that might have influenced what happened. Regardless, it's hard for me to understand how any trained electrician could not have done what I did in half the time. There are three potential scenarios I can see with this
1. This was my mistake - these guys are plumbers and not electricians.
2. These were two honest mistakes.
3. These guys saw the problems but also saw an easy mark for a big payday.
The final-final note on this - when I called the owner, he was surprised I was charged $600 for an estimate, but gave me the reasoning that it's $300 per hour if the guy carries a screwdriver around the house. He told me he could not see a reason for the $600 charge and would check into it. He promised to get back to me in 24 hours to clarify things. *Crickets* One week later, I got a text on my phone, Did we take care of you?

Dan Charles and Charles Electric are fantastic.
We recently had heavy rains and a power outage. I wanted to connect my sump pump to my generator, but the generator didn't start. On a Sunday, with more rain expected in the coming days, I called Charles Electric to see if they could help.
Dan took the generator on a Sunday and had it repaired by Monday. The rain came on Tuesday and my generator was ready to go. Besides doing great work, Dan is a friendly, engaging and super-nice human being.

Finding an electrician or a specialist for networking gear can be challenging. Luckily for me, I was able to connect with Felipe from Almighty Electric, Inc. From our first conversation, I knew I was dealing with someone that was honest, fair, and very professional.
My project entailed installing indoor access points, and one outdoors. Cutting into sheetrock, running CAT6 cable in-wall, and in my attic is no easy feat. I knew that selecting the right company/installer would be critical to not only my wireless network but also the overall aesthetics of my home.
After discussing all the logistics of the installation with Felipe, he provided me with a very competitive quote as well as a detailed list of the materials needed. We agreed on a date and time to kick things off, and the rest is history! Felipe and his crew arrived on time, executed their plan, and got my network up and running. They work efficiently and very meticulously. They covered all of their work areas to make sure my floors were protected at all times. If you are looking for an honest electrician that does great work, give AEI a call.

JJ Electric was very professional and knowledgeable. I live in a recently renovated rental house that I am not too familiar with, so I had plenty of questions. JJ had answers. The gentelman took his time to look into a laundry list of issues.
In additional, he was courteous and genuinely pleasant to do business with. Well done!

Miro, the owner of the company, is AMAZING! Great guy to work with - he knows allllll of the inspectors in SF and the best part is that the inspectors respect and like him! This makes a HUGE difference when you're trying to navigate NOVs, fixing improper work and code violations. My inspectors walked up, knew Miro by name and trusted that the work he did was right because they have seen his work done correctly countless times before. Miro works with a woman named Nikoleta who is also a great asset to his team. Thank you BV Electric for getting through some complicated violations with the City of SF!

We are smack dab in the middle of having a new roof installed... and this morning at 7am we spoke with the guys putting a new roof on our home (since it was raining, it was a urgent call) ...seems that there was a light fixture in the way of a sun tunnel we were hoping to have them install.
The roofers couldn't move it, and said we'd need a licensed electrician. Where would we find an electrician so quickly???
My husband searched electrician in on our community bulletin board. He found Sonny and called him a few minutes before 8am
I'm happy to say Sonny just finished a GREAT job at our home. He arrived at 9:30am as promised, moved the light, and a few switches that were in wonky places, even re-installed a ceiling fan that was not installed correctly.
Sonny is absolutely great! We're even going to have him look at rewiring the whole house! I don't think you could go wrong with this guy!
We HIGHLY recommend Sonny.
