Best Electricians in San Jose, CA

We contacted Direct Electric to move an outlet in preparation for a new oven installation. Following a complete assessment, we were shown how the existing wiring was not to current code. The explanation was thorough, and the use of the new oven's installation manual corroborated the requirement to replace the wiring.  The job was done briskly and professionally, and even though the job was more than we originally planned, we understood the need to do it thanks to the reasonable explanation and thorough execution of the task at hand. Would definitely recommend!

Hector and team did a great job.  They were fast at giving me an estimate, and completed the job the day after I received estimate.  They had a fair price and definitely quality work and reliable!  I recommend for any job you need in home.

I needed to install a chandelier on an 18 foot ceiling with narrow access. I spoke to several electricians and handymen and selected Always Current Electric. Rance, the owner, was the only one who picked up the phone and took my information the first time I called. In the evening we spoke again. His quote was also the most reasonable, even though he was the most professional electrician I contacted.

He sent two guys to do the job with a 16 foot standalone ladder, and they were excellent. The job was done quickly, despite the fact that I was missing some installation hardware. Together we figured it out, and the job was completed perfectly.

I will definitely work with always current electric again.

We needed an electrician to install level2 outlets for EV chargers in our garage.  Art was very prompt in returning my call, and came by to look at the location and assess the job request.  He was courteous and very professional and was upfront with the estimate and cost.  I appreciate that he took the time to explain to me the options we have and described in detail how/what he would do and how the finished product would look like.  He finished the job in one day; everything went smoothly and we are happy that we can now use the faster charger for our EVs.

Remember those guys your parents would hire, that had integrity, honesty and did things the RIGHT way? Dave is one of those types of people. He came quickly, assessed the situation by doing a thorough evaluation of our home's circumstances. This then allowed him to install two outets and a new circuit without having to make a large hole in our 1920's plaster walls. He REALLY cared, as if he was working on his own home and gave me some good electrical guidance. He left here at 8:30 p.m. and that was on a Friday evening! He is now a permanent contact for me in the future. Thanks Dave!

Excellent job at the right cost. Len is always available for big or small jobs. I am definitely keeping his contact for the future.

Micah made adjustments to my bathroom fan and advised me about other electrical questions I had.  He worked efficiently and at a reasonable cost. It's not always easy to find someone to do small jobs so I especially appreciate Micah.  Highly recommend!

I hired Chris to install a ceiling light in my master bedroom. He is very polite, humble and most importantly got the job done in 15 minutes! He seems very familiar with everything he is doing and has a very reasonable rate. I'd hire him again for any electrical related works.

These guys really came through for me in a pinch and I highly recommend them.   Excellent communication even after business hours to coordinate the job.     Thanks Authentic Electrical!

I've had Darren here twice to do electrical work and both times have been great experiences.   Communication/responsiveness has been fast and clear.   Punctuality has been super.   When he gave me times he would be here he was literally here at the time he stated.  

He has replaced some lighting fixtures for me along with fixing a light switch that was acting weird.  I've already gotten an estimate from him on my next electrical project.  

Darren Kicker is a definite number I'm keeping for anything electrical I need done in my home.

Brennan came to our house in Modesto and fixed our electrical issue.  I would highly recommend this business.   Thanks again for helping us Brennan!!!

We needed a smart car charging outlet installed in our garage. I had reached out to a couple contractors to get quotes, CJ's was by far the most reasonable. He came out on the exact time and day as promised and make quick work of the project. Would recommend him to anyone!!

Perry Electric did the wiring for a bathroom remodel in October 2011 .The work was professional, timely,  and clean. We had them back again for another bathroom in April 2012. Again a fantastic job. We had them survey the wiring in the house and fix faulty circuits., new lights installed and smoke /carbon monoxide detectors installed and wired. These people are true to their word, billing / quotes are transparent and well priced.
I highly recommend  you call Kenny ( owner) and get a quote from him.

Infinium comes off like they know what they are doing. During the sale process, I was dealing with Jacob Sleep. He seemed to be very responsive and knowledgeable. A GREAT salesman. But he is exactly that, a GREAT SALESMAN. Once you sign on the dotted line, he is far less responsive. In fact, the entire company has this one fundamental issue. Once you sign the contract, you become a secondary citizen compared to the people they haven't signed yet.

Let me dig into some specifics:

My first contact with them was May 13th, 2021. By May 27th, they were already sending me the contract, promising me that the project would be done within a couple of months.

Today is December 13th. Solar panels are still not installed. Now let me be clear on what happened so that hopefully you understand the PROS/CONS.

When Jacob was out and he was surveying the house, he asked good questions and suggested things that I didn't know much about like optimal locations for the panels on the roof. One specific thing he suggested was the location of batteries. He recommened we put them inside the garage because it makes the batteries last longer when they are not exposed to the elements. I agreed. I also came away impressed with how knowledgeable Jacob seemed to be about the different types of panels and the batteries. I came away thinking that Infinium would treat me well as a customer.

After signing the contract, things started to unravel. Infinium got to working on the plans and they went silent for several weeks with no visibility or updates. Jacob became VERY unresponsive. I sent some follow up emails asking where we were at and didn't get responses. Finally, after about three weeks they responded saying that they are finishing up the plans. They told me that after approval, they would handle the permitting with the county and it shouldn't be more than a month.

A few more weeks go by and nothing. Every once in awhile Jacob would respond to my messages saying that they have just submitted or that they are waiting for feedback from the county but not explanation for why things were taking so long. Finally, on August 16th, I wrote Jacob saying that delays were longer than anything that they pointed to and I was wondering if there were some kind of discount they can offer as I was now losing any chance of taking advantage of the summer sun. Jacob responded saying that it was Santa Clara County's fault because they changed the guidelines since he spoke to me and therefore, it's not their fault. Didn't even acknowledge my asking about a potential discount.

Jacob and I spoke on the phone and I asked to speak with the owner of the company.  Jacob NEVER made good on that.

The first concrete bit of information also came in August from them but not from Jacob but from a Jackson Bigham who I believe was the project lead. He said because my batteries are placed in the garage, the county is asking for significant failsafes like barriers against cars potentially running into them, smoke detectors and potentially even sprinklers. Jackson was also the first to actually apologize for the pace of the project which I hadn't heard from Jacob. While it was not good news, I appreciated Jackson filling me in on the details of what was going on, again, months after I had signed and asked for updates.

By October, still no permit. Jackson explained that the issue was the Fire department and the county going back and forth and changing requirements on them in real time. On October 5th, Jackson looped in Jessica Stephenson who he said was now the project manager who has taken over the communications with the county.

Jessica and I spoke on the phone. For what it's worth, Jessica was more responsive than Jacob (at least initially). She was also willing to apologize (at least in words) for the delay. I once again asked to speak to the owner and to her credit, she did make good on that promise unlike Jacob.

A week later, I spoke to the owner, Jeff Long. He was pleasant to speak to and apologetic about the delays. I asked him to please tell his people to be more professional about communicating. He said he would though I could tell he was placating.

Jessica kept me aprised but ultimately the county required too many things so I asked for the batteries to be moved outside but for them to provide a cover. She ignored the cover and said the batteries will be installed outside. That was end of October. Finally on Nov 30, Jessica emailed and said the permit has been approved. They scheduled me for install today (Dec 13th) and tomorrow (Dec 14th). This morning, Jessica emailed and said that the weather won't allow for them to install. I had already told work that I wasn't coming in and now I'm scrambling because they waited until this morning to tell me something about the weather that they had known last week. Again, an issue of communication.

I'll update when the final install is done but I can't recommend this business based on my experience.

Last year, we had our 60-year-old electric panel replaced by D&H.  They were professional and got the job done efficiently.   Perla, the office manager,  went out of her way to resolve a permitting problem with the County.  Armando, the electrician, worked through his lunch on the day of inspection to make sure everything went well.  I would definitely recommend their services.

Gonzalo has helped with several jobs in my home. He is reliable and does a great job.

Recently, our brand new and newly installed luxury Miele dishwasher (the very best and newest model) had a drainage problem. We cleaned the filter out and ran the garbage disposal for a few minutes - but none of the tricks worked.

Sent out a bunch of random Yelp requests for appliance repairs specifically on dishwashers, and Kevin at Fuse reached out quickly and offered to come out the next day. Thanks Yelp for letting us know that they are fully licensed to do this work.

Fuse's team of two - Kevin and Max - texted us they were on the way, took off their shoes (thank you!), and immediately got to work. Took off the wooden panel, unscrewed everything, and began their diagnostic and investigation. After telling us that the drain pipe is clogged by something and us agreeing to their provided estimate of $250 minus 10% military discount, they started taking the pipes and hoses out under the sink to clean. They brought all their tools and bucket.

After three hours, they ran a few tests on the dishwasher, and viola - the water drained! On their initial test, there was a crazy crashing noise that I've never heard before, so they took it all apart again and found a pin in the draining hose - thank goodness I was there while they were running the final tests!

After the job was done, they texted us the invoice, we paid the invoice via Apple Pay, and we received the receipt of payment - all over the phone! What a very efficient and smooth process!

The next day, the office manager or owner, Kevin, called to make sure everything went smoothly. My only concern was the language barrier (Russian) between Kevin/Max and us; as long as we spoke clearly and slowly, they'd let us know that they understood. We told Kevin (who was on the phone with us) that the water drains extremely slowly in our kitchen sink drain, which is completely new to us, and he seemed to not understand what we were trying to explain. Other than the slow kitchen sink drain, they got the job done with the dish washer and that's all that matters to us! We will have to call Kevin or check the kitchen drain ourselves to ensure everything is okay. Thank you.

MEL Electric did a great job rewiring our house, which had old knob-and-tube wiring. Their estimate was detailed and reasonable, their communication and follow-through was top notch, and they finished on time. Matt was pleasant and professional. We were happy with the work and would use them again in a heartbeat.
