Best Businesses in California

I highly recommend Hourmouz of Bay Sun Electric. He installed 10 LED recessed cans in 3 rooms with dimmer switch and 1 ceiling fan.

He came and inspected our house which very few electricians. I have at-least called 3 more electricians who just gave me an random quote with out even listening to what I want. He promptly communicated with us in email for the final quote with clear description on what he will cover.

He came on time on the day of the job and finished it promptly. He was very detail oriented, honest, detailed oriented and did an excellent job, trust worthy.

If you go with Hourmouz, you will not go wrong,

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.

Alpha and Omega are always my go to Electricians. Being in Real Estate I always make sure my clients have the best resources for all their needs; especially for their safety and health items that need attention on their homes. That's why when it comes to electrical work, i always refer Jesse and his team! So when my husband and i needed to get some work done at our place this summer, we naturally called Jesse and his team. They were beyond amazing, professional, hard working, and exceeded our expectations with the quality of work. They showed up early and they stayed late...they have a work ethic that is hard to find these days and they do it with enthusiasm and kindness. It was enjoyable having them around. It was just a great reminder of why they are my go to electricians for ourselves personally, and all my clients as well. If you are looking at getting some electrical work done, do yourself a favor and call Jesse and his team. You won't regret it!

Highly recommend them. We had a major electrical issue that needed a professional to drill through the drywall and Victor and team showed up at very short notice on the 31st of December and fixed everything very efficiently and all in a span of a couple hours. They also cleaned up after themselves, which we greatly appreciated. They're very polite, explain every step of their process clearly and patiently and offer excellent quality of service.

Absolute does great work, the are also very professional and are a great value. I recommend them for all of your electrical needs. The owner is very nice and he has an apprentice that is great as well.

Schedule for my garage got moved up. Needed electrical for sub panel roughed in for inspection so we could pour concrete. I called Don, told him I had accepted his quote but had a schedule change. Don came out, checked job site and said he could start the next day.  They got the trenching done and conduit ran from main panel, under house, out to trench and stub up thru garage floor. Got my inspection and approval in time to meet schedule. Don and his crew were courteous and professional. Jacob could not have worked harder to help meet schedule.
This is the third time I used Main Stream Electric and I have been happy every time.

Josh from Alpha Omega helped us upgrade our electric panel to support the 220V Tesla charger. He's very punctual about the time. Came on time and finished the project within several hours. He is quite easy to work with and very reasonable while we made the decisions on what needs to be done. He also installed the Tesla wall charger. He maintains high quality of work. I highly recommend him and Alpha Omega Electric.

My husband tried bringing in different electricians for over a week to no avail due to our job being too small. Finally on Friday, being thoroughly frustrated with a partially non-operating kitchen, I opened my Yelp app, found these guys, called them and they were at my house an hour later. Perfect! 30 minutes later and they fixed a whole bunch of outlets in my kitchen that had been tampered with and improperly put back together by the previous owner of our home. They were professional, polite and courteous and I will definitely call upon them again for any electrical needs I may have in the future.

I needed a TV Mount to be installed, along with bike racks, curtain rods and fixing the toilet flush tank.

Rostislav and Vlad were very professional and did a great job with all the installations. They were on time and completed the work as promised. The TV mount installation took longer than promised but they did not charge me for the extra time.

I would highly recommend Anytime Handyman for any repair works.

I just noticed that there was a response to my review by this owner, and feel the need to respond even as this review is several years old. When I posted my initial review on Yelp my phone immediately blew up and this guy tried to make a boatload of excuses. He was relentless! Would not stop calling and insisted I remove my review. He used the excuse he posted as I must've had the wrong business until I sent him a screen shot of our call lasting 3 minutes ( when I set up the appt he failed to show up for ) then he proceeded to say I was going to cost him business with this review and I told him he should've thought of that before he didn't bother to show and wasted hours of my time. The guy's a pathological liar and if he would've just apologized I probably would've removed my initial review. I never received an apology just threats. His inability to acknowledge it was HIS error ( even when shown he did in fact talk to me ) is concerning in a business owner that you could potentially be allowing in your home.

Jesse wired a 240 volt outlet and 40 amp breaker for our EVSE.  He is prompt, responsive and does outstanding work.

My living room's power was out after I tried to replace a smart switch myself. Ivan arrives on time and wear mask and shoes cover before entering. Within minutes able to identify that previously wrong wiring in my house is the problem quickly fixes it. He also help me installed two smart switch which I wouldn't be able to do, without extra charge since it is within the minimum two hour service. He's kind and willing to educate me about the problem with the wires in my house. Will definitely hire him next time.

I've been meaning to write a review based on my recent experience when Brian. He came to my house to inspect some potential suspect electrical after we had two new appliances malfunction. He was prompt, very thorough, honest and incredibly personable. The personable part isn't as important as other attributes, but it's nice to find an electrician who is knowledgeable, experienced and nice :)

After about 15 minutes of inspecting our service panel and PG&E connections, he was fairly certain that the problem was on the power company's end and not because of our in home electric. He was right, but insisted upon inspecting our inside panel and the connections behind the dryer. All this was done in less than one billable hour. He even made the call to PGE to get some to our house asap. If you want someone who does their due diligence, knows what they are doing, is honest, AND is nice, call Archbold Electric!

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 highly recommend Valencia Electric.  I like to support local businesses and women-owned businesses.  Natalie, who I believe owns Valencia Electric, gave me an initial estimate and stayed within the estimate through to job completion.  During both visits she arrived on time, was efficient at diagnosing the problem and fixing it (replaced ceiling fixture).  

She understood my predicament, being a small local business owner as well and the necessity to have working lights for us to open and conduct business.  So although she had a very busy schedule, she made time for me.  I appreciated her thoughtfulness in this instance.

I highly recommend Tyler.
He came in and figured out what was wrong in my garage immediately and offered a quick fix instead of an earlier guy who tried to convince me that I needed a $2000 rewire.
I needed to fix my light fixture. He was very patient and offered his professional opinion without pushing me towards either option. In the end, I got all my light fixtures replaced and it felt really great.
I would hire him again. :)

SERVICE CHAMPIONS
Biggest scam artist on earth. WOW. I have been a general contractor for 27 years. I kept getting these letters in the mail about an $88 tune up for your air conditioner. So last week my Discovery Bay house wasn't cooling. I pulled the letter out of my drawer and called these guys. If you read the letter, it talks about how they are going to grease your bearings, check each vent for proper temperature, inspect ducts for energy loss, if any HVAC reads the 20 point inspection, he is going to LFFAO. . OMG what a Fricken SCAM.. Lube the bearings? I asked the technician what bearings? How are you going to lube sealed bearings and where are they located? He was like UMMMMMM? Anyway, long story short, they wouldn't have done anything on the list if I didn't bring it up. Furthermore, I already had 3 other HVAC guys give me quotes to fix my system with an all-new 5 ton 16 SEER ra$5,000 to $7,000ted system. They all came in around $5,000 to $7,000 to install a brand new R22 Lenox 5 Ton system including coil and line set. I waited to get the quote from these SCAM artist and sure enough, $12,000. As a general contractor, this disgusts me. I'm sure they are taking advantage of many people, when it's hot, you need AC, you are old, you just don't know, they probably get a lot of customers. It all starts from their cheesy BS flyer. STAY away from this SCAM artist. The Lenox 16 SEER unit they quoted is only a couple hundred dollars  on Grainger. It takes a couple hours to install it. They wanted $12,000. The new coil on the furnace, its $380 bucks. They wanted $3,000 installed. It takes less than 2 HRs to install. For 3 years ive been getting his cheesy flier in my mail box. I finally verified what I thought once I read his cheesy letter where he guarantees his 20 point signature inspection.

Ivo and his guy Miro were great to work with and I'd work with them again in the future. I put out an inquiry on Yelp to 5 electricians and Orbis Electrical Works was the first to respond (within minutes). From there, Ivo and I communicated regularly to work out the details. He got me scheduled to begin work within a week and from there it took 2 days to install lights for 3 rooms. Miro came and did the work and he was great. He took great care to properly cover the carpet and the furniture, which I greatly appreciated. Ivo and Miro were very experienced and professional, demonstrated by their advice for installation and their knowledge of fire codes. Safety was a top priority for them which made me feel at ease.

Five stars for Jae from Divine Electric! We weren't sure what the issue was, but Jae diagnosed it immediately as a bad transformer. His work was efficient, yet completely careful and thorough. He also took great care in setting up his equipment in order to access the difficult-to-reach transformer. He kept me updated with his progress, explained the issue, and gave me the price of the work before he completed it. Jae wore a mask and gloves the entire time he worked. I should also mention how friendly and easy to talk to he was!

The dispatchers at Divine were also great - very communicative and kept us updated about timing (and Jae was precisely on time).

We'll definitely be using Divine in the future!
