Best Businesses in California

Hourmouz was able to arrive same day that I called him and started the work.  I needed an electrical plug for a clothes dryer installed.  It was a brand new home and the laundry was plumbed for a gas dryer only.  I had been given a quote of $1050 by Maine Electric and thought that was high so I got a second estimate.  Boy am I glad I did.  Not only did Hourmouz quote me a price for the same exact work at 1/3 the cost but he also took care of installing a couple other outlets in the master and even still was less than $600.  (Maine Electric would have charged $378 for each of the two additional outlets, bringing their total to $1800.)

Hourmouz did the work in a very professional manner.  He had to cut holes in the dry wall in order to run the wires and he was able to patch and paint in a way that one could never tell the wall had been cut into.  That was very important to me since this was a brand new home.

I was super impressed with Hourmouz and have referred him to two of my friends.  I hope they call him and I know I will if ever i need an electrician again.

Daniel,
Not sure why you are threatening to sue me because of my comments. If I am wrong or making things up, you can provide factual documents online so others can see I am wrong.
If you feel better to sue me, go ahead. I am a legal council and will defend myself with solid documents. If needed, I will reach out to your competitors and ask for feedback and info about you.

Your message to me quoted:

We never claimed to be certified electrical designers/engineers. Our President & license holder,Daniel Sr., was a certified electrical engineer in our home country, which is why we do have knowledge in electrical engineering. However, if a project requires engineering, we include it in our price because we subcontract the engineering portion to a licensed/certified company that offers electrical engineering. This is a standard practice and we have never claimed to provide engineering services under our company. Please remove your review as soon as possible. Otherwise, we can take legal action.

This is from your website:
Commercial Repairs
Most electricians have only the most basic understanding of the systems they are working on. Our senior electrician and president is an electrical engineer with over twenty-five years of experience designing and repairing electrical solutions.
Our team is experienced at working in high-rise and industrial buildings, including common area/lobby lighting upgrades, panel replacements and installation of UPS systems.

I may have misunderstood your statement. Your statement threw me off by thinking that your president is a licensed engineer in California and not just someone who studied engineering. Unless you are licensed engineer, by the state of Ca, you can not design or sign off on electrical work. Your president's electrical experience back at home, does not meet any building codes or standards in California.

Jesse came out to troubleshoot and fix a melted circuit that caused the breaker to trip. He arrived early, was prompt, professional, and fixed the issue! Check out the wires in the attached photos. He explained the issue in a way that made sense to me (I have zero knowledge of electric other than knowing I don't want to accidentally electrocute myself lol). He also explained some considerations I should take moving forward when it comes time to update the panel. Thank you, Jesse and Alpha Omega!

I called Flores Electric after replacing what I thought was a faulty light switch.  The replacement switch did not work so Flores sent Rey who came promptly, diagnosed my problem, finding problems in the circuitry  of the light fixture.  He repaired that, then installed the switch that now works.  Rey came for a different repair awhile ago and I was impressed with his knowledge and skills, prompting me to call Flores again when I was confronted with another electrical problem.  Rey is very efficient and wastes no time in getting right to the problem, with the charges being very reasonable.   Being a senior in my own Cupertino home for over 50 years, I have seen quite a few contractors of various skills over the years, and I must say that Rey with Flores Electric stands out at the top, and I have no hesitation in recommending this company and Rey for resolving any electrical needs.

Dave did a great job.  I had two problems.  First a short in the house which darkened a room.  Second, I had bad wiring in the attic which was done by the previous owner.

Dave found and fixed the short very quickly.  Second, he worked his butt off in the attic fixing a number of issues.

I really struggled finding an electrician.  I couldn't be more satisfied with Dave and Absolute Electric.  I'd recommend him for his hard work, good prices, and great attitude.  Thanks Dave!

After reading many reviews, I decided to hire them for a job at my residence.
Initially I was okay when the job was done. However I am disappointed that they did not return my calls or voice mails when I tried to report issues after the job. I tried for couple of months and gave up.  I came across CSLB license board site and see that their license is suspended. Then I called another telno. I spoke to a person by name Shane. He told me that the Tech who did the job was fired and thus he did not return calls and dropped my calls. I was surprised. I am still awaiting for them to fix warranty issue on the job.

Excellent service with a keen eye on perfection. We're 3 years new to Santa Cruz and went solely on YELP reviews for our project.
We strive to find those who know their craft. Josh delivered exactly what we wanted in a reasonable timeframe.  The job was precise, the rate was good, and the professionalism was superior.
Thank you, Josh!!!

I called Greg to install a ceiling fan/light in my garage. He showed up on time the following day. He and his assistant did an awesome job installing the ceiling fan plus two utility lights. I am very pleased with the work. Thanks Greg!

Rostislav and Vlad helped me with hanging a overhead garage storage rack.  They were both very friendly and professional.  It you are looking for a hardworking team you can count on them.  In fact, I will hire them for future projects.

A few months ago I called several electricians; Mark was the only one to return my call within a few hours. He came by the next day to estimate the job and was able to complete the job within the next two days. Excellent service, left the job site clean and he's very professional.

I was given Jesse's number by my landscaping contractor. I was in serious need of an electrician. I had already met with 2 people, one of whom wanted to charge me for the estimate and the other wanted to charge an arm and 2 legs for the work. My husband spoke with Jesse and he promptly came out to meet us. He was so fairly priced and so professional I quickly gave him 2 additional jobs aside from the one he was out to bid. After completing the work, he had a gentleman come out to the house within 30 minutes to repair the drywall and before you knew it, I had a new sub panel, outdoor kitchen, spa and a new wall. I'll recommend Jesse to anyone!!!

Ivan came to replace my broken exhaust fan in the bathroom. He climbed into my attic to reconnect duct so that no need to open dry wall. All process is smooth and fast. And the price is reasonable because no need to pay anything to support useless front desk or bookkeeper. Ivan is his own boss. I quoted several companies. Most ones asked for two or three times the price.

Recently installed a DIY hot tub and needed all the electrical hook up done and outlets installed for the accessories. Chris shows up on time, was polite, smart, hard working and just a nice guy. My wife and I were both impressed. It was a full day job and everything worked as hoped. We have used them on other projects with the same level of service. Good value and good work.

Seems I am the first one writing reviews for Mega Power.  They actually had more reviews for the LA branch.  I read those reviews and I can tell that Gary really cares about his reputation.

OK, my story.  I was thinking of installing solar in early 2022, after learning NEM 3.0 in California would be delayed indefinitely.  I started my journey with energysage.com, and got quotes from 6 local installers, including Mega Power Electric Inc.  I've also reached out to SunPower, and left my contact at Sunrun in Costco.  I finally decided to work with Mega Power for these reasons: 1. many positive reviews; 2. their price is very competitive; 3. I work directly with the owner German (Gary), who actually does the job.  No sales; no project managers.  While those sales people are nice and professional, the process is just as as efficient as talking directly with Gary.  Mega Power does everything very fast.  Gary came to our house and took some pictures; went back and shared his initial plan; we wanted two additional panels; Gary revised the plan (within 24 hours).  One or two weeks later, Gary and his people were on my roof.  Installation of 24 panels was done within one day.  City inspector initially had questions about the ground wire.  Gary and his team came back another time, and finished #4 ground wire upgrade within a couple of hours.  Passed city inspection.  Getting approvals from PG&E (final step) was a long story.  Gary and Mega Power did whatever they could to help and I appreciate that.  Overall experience with Mega Power was quite positive.  Definitely recommend Mega Power for their efficiency, work quality, and communication.  Additional data points I would like to share: while Gary and his team worked on installation, I was busy filing complaints with another company for their no show activity in the very first scheduled meeting. Oh, my wife and I already recommended Mega Power to another lady.  I probably should collect some referral fee from Gary.

Thank you for patiently explaining the electrical problem in a way that made it understandable. Thank you for coming on such short notice. Thank you for not charging me an arm & a leg for great service. I would recommend Al Smith Electric in a heartbeat!

I know - another 5-star review for Valencia Electric - is this for real?  Yes, it's for real!  Natalie is as good as it gets!

I hired Natalie for what initially started as a small project but morphed into a large one. Natalie did the following:
- swapped out can lights in my dining room, entryway and hallway
- replaced the dining room light w a fixture
- replaced my entryway light w a pendant
- replaced my hallway light w a recessed light
- installed bar pendants
- installed recessed lighting in my kitchen (and removed the existing track lighting).  

Less glamorous, but greatly appreciated, she also updated:
- all my outlets and light switches w new plates/covers
- installed a timer on my outside light
- installed a programmable wall thermostat for my baseboard heater which was originally controlled by an on-unit dial with no temperature settings.

Service:
Natalie was extremely patient and obliging when I kept adding things to the list of items I wanted updated.  She never once hesitated to come out to give me updated estimates, all at my convenience on the weekends.

She was punctual and extremely polite.  She is quick to respond to emails and address any questions you may have.  Since I have extremely limited experience doing electrical upgrades and repairs, her responsiveness and transparency made my experience really awesome.  

One of the most amazing things about hiring Natalie is that she clearly takes pride in her work and her service.  

**My place was spotless everyday when I came home!!!**

I expected my place to be dusty and messy for a week.  I even told my housekeeper that she should plan on spending extra time on my place at the end of the week bc I was having work done.  

Work:
The work Natalie did was done with care, and she did a really quality job.  She conferred w me more than once to double check the length I wanted my pendants, the placement of the recessed lighting, and the job took just a little while longer bc she didn't like the recessed lights she originally thought would work.  For whatever reason, they buzzed and so she tried several different ones so I wouldn't have the buzzing.  

She managed to put fewer holes in my ceiling and walls than she initially planned bc she found alternate access options.  She clearly thought about what she was doing so as to make it a better experience for me, rather than just plowing forward with the simplest option.

Overall:
I can't recommend Valencia Electric enough!

Had Tyler repair the overhead lighting connection and install a couple of new lighting fixtures in my kitchen. Super cool guy and got everything done perfectly and in an efficient manner. Highly recommend him for your next project.

At a very minimum, this company's actions are very fishy. Please judge for yourself:

- I called them for a tune-up or possibly a duct cleaning. After they did tune up, the gas valve stopped working and they said it is a coincidence!!!

- After they left, they were supposed to charge my credit card for $78 and they charged $720 without my consent. After I objected, they appologized and said this was a sincere mistake!!!

- After they fixed the valve after leaving us 2 days in the cold, they were supposed to give a credit of $202 off their initial charge of $720. After a week, there is no credit. I called them back and they said they will credit with no reason why they haven't done that this last week!

This company looks very graudulent to me. You may want to consider my experience before hiring this company.

I got 240v and 2 lamps fixed. Excellent work! I would recommend for residential and commercial work!

Joe did a fantastic job updating our service panel and installing an EV charger.  He's super friendly, punctual and he takes pride in doing the job right.  He also took care to leave everything clean and neat.  Throughout the job he kept me informed about his progress and I appreciate his good natured, can do attitude.  A+ for Joe and Divine Electric! As Joe kiddingly says, we are a customer service company that does electrical work on the side. They do excellent electrical work but I'd rate their customer service second to none.
