The owner gave me the reasonable quote over yelp, and came to our house fixing dishwasher issue in timely manner; efficient and reliable handyman,would recommend! Thx for ur service, Ryan.

Umm... $5000 to install two 220V power outlets??? 2-3 hours of work, about 150 feet of wire and two circuit breakers?

Thanks, but no thanks. Took me just a little over an hour to get both installed myself.

P.S. my review is solely based on the price quoted. I can't provide any work quality review. But for this much money??? Are the wires they install made out of gold???
P.P.S. Total time spent: about 20 minutes doing research online, about an hour at Home Depot. About 1.5 hours installing everything.
P.P.P.S. Total amount of money spent: about $150.

In response to John H. the owner: like I said, it took a total of about $150 for materials and a few hours of work for me to do the same job you quote $5000 to do, with all the permits and certifications (yes, I am certified to work with electrical equipment). All the outdoor certified conduits, the properly gauged wires, the double-pole circuit breakers - that all costs pennies. The work itself doesn't require any PhDs or even a masters degree (heck, not even a bachelors one!) I'm sure there are people who are happy to part with their money to get a nail hammered into a wall to hang a picture. I'm not one of them. If I'm quoted exorbitant amount of money for a job that requires very little skill or education - I'll do my research and do the job myself, thank you very much. 3 hour job at $5000 - that's over $1500 per hour. Even lawyers rarely charge that much.

And, by the way, the price quoted is nearly double of what the next highest quote I got from local electricians. The most acceptable quote I got was about $500 per circuit. Still too high, in my opinion, but $1000 for two circuits definitely beats the $5000.

Wilson was prompt, knowledgeable and did good work. He gave a competitive bid to install an EV charge Point hard wired into box. Really nice guy. I'll definitely hire him again.

Sam was terrific helping me fix the issues created when we had a PG&E transformer blow up on  our street. It blew out my garage door opener, my doorbell, 2 GFI outlets, my Keurig coffee machine, my Sonicare toothbrush and several other things in my house.  Sam came in and quietly and efficiently fixed everything, and at a very reasonable price.  

Thanks. Marilyn

I was in desperate need of an HONEST, reliable licensed electrician. I checked out the reviews on Yelp and decided to give Cross Electrical a call. I explained the circumstances and the trouble shooting I had performed.  Doug said I had done everthing he would have recommended to me.  He said he would be here in twenty minutes and he was.  A new GFI outlet was needed. He is very friendly and didn't try to tell me that my house needed rewiring, which is usually what the crooks do.  I will definitely call on Doug for all my future electrical jobs.

Gomez Electric came out on short notice. Alvaro was very polite, thorough and knowledgeable. I would definitely use them again

I have had Dave's Electric do numerous electrical repairs on my house.  They are prompt, courteous, efficient and always competitively priced.  I wouldn't ever use anyone else.  I have referred several friends and neighbors to Dave's Electric and everyone is pleased and satisfied with the work.  If you need electrical work, do not hesitate to call Dave's Electric they are the very best and I can't say enough good things about them.

Bob was extremely reliable and his work was great. Best electrician we've had, hands down.

We had a difficult problem with our door buzzer and he was able to come up with a custom switch solution. Other electricians were unable to figure out how to fix it.

I recently purchased a Tesla and needed a home charger installed.  I started to look around and the quotes I got were crazy.  I found a few people that were reasonable, but I felt the most comfortable with JR.  

JR was not only reasonable, but he did a great job.  I am happy I went with JR!

Quick, professional service that was completed on-time and all permitted through the city of San Jose, Arash and team did a fantastic job.

The project for my home was to install a NEMA 14-50 eletrical outlet on the side of my home, in order to connect a ChargePoint electric car charger. The difficulty was also I was having solar installed by a different team, so I needed to a 150 AMP subpanel installed to allow the 50A ChargePoint to have adequate power. Arash and team did the following:

- Installed 150A subpanel, all wired to main panel to allow solar in future, on the side of our home
- Installed/mounted/wired ChargePoint Car Charger
- Installed/mounted/wired NEMA 14-50 outlet

All of this work Arash and team got permitted with the city of San Jose, so everything is on the level. There was one small miscommunication on my part (how I wanted the cable to exit from under my home) and Arash fixed it quickly and cleanly.  All of this larbor intensive work cost $3800, including materials and permitting. The entire time Arash and team was willing to  communicate over text, which was very helpful for someone working all the time! I was able to ask all the question I wanted to make myself comfortable with the process.

Highest recommendations from Arash and team.

Laser and Sons completed a couple projects at my home. The work turned out great and was completed to the exact specifications that were quoted.
Alfonso was very responsive and checked in multiple times during the project, it was obvious that he cared and was on top of everything that was being done. He provided a competitive and detailed bid, and I am very happy to have had him work on this project.
I will absolutely use Laser and Sons on future projects.

We had an issue with the electric in our living room where the vacuum would cause the breaker to trip.  Someone else had come out and couldn't figure the problem out, but Seth found the source - a faulty breaker switch - and now our living room electric is up and running. Seth is very professional, punctual and knowledgeable.  Will definitely use him again.

Bryan and his crew were so professional  reliable , on time and knowledgeable and we had quite a conundrum in a wall that was stuffed with wires by a previous electronic buff who had made everything extremely complicated before moving out of the house we are now in . Bryan and his crew came out , sorted through it all in one day and got it all working without a hitch .
His crew was respectable and courteous to a tee and Bryan ended up charging less because they were in and out in about 7 hours .
I'm also writing this review because I recently called Bryan to come out and take a look at some more electrical issues unrelated to the previous project and even with his busy schedule found time on his way home after a long day to come check out the issues at hand .
What a guy . They are simply awesome .

Our home was built in the 70's and has the original electric panels.  As a safety precaution, we had Jim check it out.  Jim was very understanding and was easy to work with.  He was very knowledgeable and what he didn't know he was not afraid to say.  He did tons of research before coming to us with the best solution.  We felt comfortable enough for him to do the upgrade while we were away. Thanks Jim

Rick was great!! Took careful time to troubleshoot a LED dimmer before our party.

Would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a qualified electrician .

I needed some help with converting a exterior porch can light (LOW VOLTAGE CFL) to a drop down hanging light.  I went to Home Depot and asked someone there because the electricians that I called wanted up to $400.00 to do the job.  I am fairly handy but I really don't know much about electrical.  I had low voltage wiring and had to get it converted back to the 110.

Home Depot directed me to Red Beacon to search for someone.  Cole was the 1st person that called me back.  Without even hiring him he gave me so much details on what needed to be done.  I was able to get to transformer or converter box of the can that transferred it into low voltage.  I just didn't know what to do.

What amazed me about Cole is that he told me its fairly easy.  So easy that he said as long as I am handy and comfortable enough that he would walk me through it.  I didn't quite understand what he was telling me to do so he asked me to email him pictures which I did.  Later that night he called me back and gave me instructions based of what I was looking at.  From there I finally understood what he was telling me to do and figured it out fairly easily.

I have never written a review on yelp but I was honestly amazed by Cole's customer service that I felt I had to.  That really was going above and beyond and with his help I was able to get this done myself and save a ton of money!!

I will absolutely be keeping Cole's phone # handy in the even I ever need any kind of electrical done.

Ed at Eagle Electric is my go to guy!  I am a local Real Estate agent and am VERY picky about the vendors I use and recommend!  I only use and refer honest, reliable, knowledgeable vendors with good pricing and Ed fits the bill!  I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent electrician.

Quick, very nice, fair price and reliable. The work was completed quickly and the team was able to problem solve when pieces of my light fixture were missing. What more can you ask for?
