Best Electricians in San Jose, CA

As I write this review, I'm enjoying the handy work from Cham and his team, listening to the music from the audio system they set up for my place.  A few things to note:

1) He is very timely and responsive: I was only two weeks away from moving into my new place, and realized I forgot to get some help with setting up the audio visual system.  I found AV Druids on yelp and frantically called them.  Cham was able to accommodate my schedule and stopped by the next day to do an assessment.  Because some of the wires have to go through the crawl space, he recommended that all the installation be done before I move in so it won't get dusty.  His team managed to complete the installation before I moved in.  

2) He gives GREAT recommendation on what equipment to use: The previous owners left behind an older set of equipment so Cham recommended me to sell them and replace them with a different system.  What a great recommendation.  I can now use my phone to control all the music and listen to podcast, radio, and any music I have on my phone in any room.  

3) His design element is fantastic.  I asked for a clean esthetic and to hide all the equipment and wires, and that's what I got.  The audio visual elements feel tucked away and not intrusive and the room feels really clean.  

With Cham's help I now feel like I'm living in the 21st Century.  :-)  Thank you for a fantastic job done!!

Wife and I am fortunate to have found Jeff on Craigslist. We recently acquired a home in the south bay that required a lot of work. Jeff helped us tremendously and we are very happy with the quality of his work and the level of service he had provided.  This guy is very talented and can do just about anything around the house.

Jeff is very easy to work with, honest, and has great communication skills. I appreciate Jeff  being upfront about the costs and how long each project will take. There were a few things I saved money on by doing it myself. Jeff basically showed me what I need to do and how to do it. If you're looking for someone to do high quality work in a reasonable amount of time, go with Jeff.

We initially wanted can lights only, but take a look at what Jeff ended up doing for us. Below are a list of things Jeff had worked on:

* Installed recessed can lights
* Installed tiles
* Installed crawlspace vents
* Replaced toilets
* Replaced all electrical outlets in the house
* Installed bathroom fans
* Installed new sheet rock
* Wall texturing
* Installed smoke alarms
* Installed insulation
* Plumbing

Couldn't be better!

Nick fixed and/or diagnosed almost 10 different issues while in the house, ranging from handyman to plumbing to electrical. The best part about hiring him are his license in both electrical and plumbing (for depth of knowledge and my peace of mind) and the fact that he came incredibly prepared, with spare/replacement parts of common items like screws of various specifications and electrical outlets, as well as long tool to install bulbs at 20' height - in his incredibly well equipped truck. In the past when I called handymen, I always wished they could be a 'one stop shop' with the knowledge and tools/parts to fix almost anything - which I could never quite get - this is what you get if you call Nick since he's an excellent general contractor.

Super happy that the house is back up to smoothly running thanks to Nick being at the top of his craft.

Of course, he was also punctual, professional, friendly, and easy to work with, and very honest and fair with pricing, even though its understandably bit on the higher side compared to a less skilled handyman. You get what you pay for!

Jaime was fast and very professional. We will be using him for any electrical needs from now on. Great experience.

I called G.E. Richardson Electric from an ad in the Saratoga News since they are located close by in Los Gatos and I had a small job, I thought that might help.  I spoke to George Richardson and he was not only very willing to do the job, but gave me several options including later that day.   Once they finally came out, George and his assistant were super friendly, competent and quick, as well as, reasonable in their time and materials costs...I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them...and would certainly use them again.

Our overhead service was ripped down and we needed our roof riser repaired and permitted before PGE would hook up our power again. Ricardo came out on a Friday and had it back up and installed on Monday. Called for inspection and we got our power back on. Very quick response and on top of the whole process.

These guys are great.  I called them about installing a wall charger for my Tesla on Friday not expecting to hear back until Monday.  But, I got a call from Mike on Saturday and they were able to squeeze me in on Monday and finish the job on Wednesday.

They were fast, really nice to work with, and did a great job.  All around great customer service.  I can't recommend them enough.  I'm going to use them again on other projects.

Exceptional job! Called me within 30 minutes of me messaging the business. Was able to work on electrical problem that day. Clearly described the testing and resolution steps before proceeding. Fixed the problem very quickly and Sherman Electric's rates were very reasonable.

I live in an Eichler home and he was totally familiar with my electrical system and common issues homeowners in these kind of homes encounter.

Totally professional and a pleasure to business with!

Chris and his team did all of the electrical work on my home remodel.  They were extremely friendly and customer service oriented.  They walked through the project with us to ensure proper thinking about where switches should go, what should be 'smart' and what should be automated.  Chris was very accommodating to our desires to balance smart technology with a reasonable cost and make recommendations on how to best accomplish that.  They also came back several times to make changes and modifications as we finalized the project.  I would absolutely recommend Chris/Coastline and will use them again in future projects!

We had some issues getting some outlets in our kitchen working. Ron contacted us quickly and was able to get out to our house within a couple of days. He showed up right on time and was able to quickly diagnose and repair the issue. He walked through the problem with me, and also identified some other issues that we may want to address with our electrical system. He was patient and personable and I look forward to working with him again.

Thank you Ron!

My house is built on a slightly sloped grade and the floor was not even throughout the house, in some rooms, the difference of the floor height is over 3 inches. I interviewed three contractors and selected Renopro to work on my project. They replaced the original wooden posts with the permanent screw jacks in the crawl space in a professional and fast way and then adjusted the unevenness utilizing an electrical leveling gauge. I am extremely happy and amazed by the result. Thank you Renopro Construction!

My sink had terrible water pressure and the hot water wouldn't work at all. Found Dave on yelp he replaced my sink had everything back up and running within a hour. He was on time, very professional, and did a great job! Would definitely hire him again.

Thank you Mark and team!  They did a great job installing my Tesla wall charger.  They came in time, did the installation, and finished the job faster than I expected!  My wall charger really looks nice in my garage as well.  Thank you!   Highly recommend!

We had a fifteen-year old under-cabinet halogen light plugged into an electrical outlet in the kitchen (tile backsplash). The outlet had a loose wire which, after being fine for twenty years, finally gave out. The outlet was original to the house (1997). The outlet overheated and melted down, incidentally, when no one was around to see the flash or smell burnt plastic. While we know rudiments of electricity, this meltdown was beyond our knowledge and we felt we needed an expert electrician's opinion and treatment. We shut off that circuit at the circuit-breaker box. I felt very anxious on how bad the damage was, and was it likely to happen again.

We left a couple messages at JET, and within a few hours, they called back. We made appointment for the next day. Rick came out the next day (a Saturday). He clued us in what had happened, and fixed everything. The meltdown was a fluke, and did not extend past the outlet itself.

Rick took the outlet back to the office. He said he wanted to show it around because he had not seen an outlet melt down that badly in a long time. He said that it could have been worse -- we were lucky but in any case, such a meltdown would not have burned the house down, even if it had happened with an outlet set in drywall. I can rest easy.

That said, as an aside, halogen lights get very hot, are obsolete, and are a fire hazard. We are going to remove all of the halogen under-cabinet lights and replace them with LEDs. Electricians are correct in steering customers away from halogens for under-cabinets. Use LED or fluorescent!

Over the years, this is something like the fourth time we have needed an electrician where we have called on JET. Each time, JET has been very good.

Recommended. Five stars (*****).

Hourmouz installed recessed LED lights in our living room, office and one bedroom, he replaced all our old LED lights in the bathrooms and kitchen, and he installed a chandelier in our master bedroom. The living room has 20', sloped ceilings, which I thought would be a difficult installation, but he made it look easy! The lights look great, he aligned them perfectly, and installed them in exactly the right place on the ceiling. Hourmouz takes tremendous pride in his work, and he pays attention to all the details. For example, the installation of the recessed lights required opening the drywall to access the wiring. He made the smallest possible holes, and then patched and re-surfaced them perfectly. We had three offers to do this work, and Hourmouz was the only one who included the dry wall repair in the offer (the other two contractors refused to do it). He was also significantly less expensive than the most expensive offer, and competitive with the other. I'd recommend Hourmouz to anyone, and I'm very happy to have his work lighting up our house.

Excellent service from D&C Electric! They came to install ceiling fans for us today. They were prompt, efficient, extremely professional, and did an amazing job with each installation. I was working from home today and had to deal with a lot of phone calls and meetings. Daniel and his father were so patient with me. They had questions to ask to ensure that everything was done correctly and I appreciated the fact that they patiently waited for me to finish my calls whenever they had a query. They left everything so clean too. I am very impressed and I will not hesitate to hire them again for my next project.

Jesse and his crew members are great to work with! AOE was quick to respond for an on-site estimate for installing a light over our kitchen table and quick to get us in the schedule once we decided to do the work. He and his assistant arrived on time, took great care to keep our entrance and kitchen clean while in process. AOE was thoughtful and helpful with the proper placement of the light in relation to the other lights over our island and did a great job of installing a new dimmer switch without marking up the walls or creating a need to repaint. When they were done it was like the light had always been there! They did the job efficiently and we are really happy happy we went with Alpha Omega. We'll definitely call them again for electrical needs.

We had some outlets in the kitchen that went out and couldn't figure out which breaker. Carlos came out in about two hours and fixed the problem within about an hour. Fast service, professional and good pricing. Definitely will use their service again and will recommend them to friends.

I had some trouble with the GFI outlets in my house tripping and not resetting. called them on Monday morning.  They said that he should be there in the afternoon. They were there by3:30
The job was done by 6 and after replacing the GFI in the garage and replacing a few other outlets and a few other issues everything is working great!

I called service champions to repair my central air conditioner condenser unit that is not working. Their technician came and spent some time to diagnose the problem and vaguely said there are couple of things going wrong, some fuses blown out, and some issue with PGE smartAC box interfering with unit. He said it would cost around $600, but he can reduce it to $500 by subscribing to their VIP service program. Since, my unit is old one, may be about 20 years, I wanted to wait on any repairs to see what would be the replacement cost.  So I said I will decide on the repairs later, so he said he would put the things back in place and left. I later noticed, he left couple of nuts and bolts on the floor near the unit, did not  put back them properly and old fuses left near the unit. I then googled about the fuses, bought two of them for $10, the unit is working again.

I am really unhappy with the service since I paid $89 for the diagnosis, instead I received sales push to purchase a service contract, and few left things on the floor. (On the bright side, now I know what fuses are used in air conditioners and how much they cost  ). Even though I am able to put those bolts back, I am not sure of the refrigerant status, I need another technician for that. Sigh..

Next day I received a call from their service manager since I rated their service as poor, he listened to my feedback and sent another technician to complete the diagnosis, he came and ran few tests and said the things look fine, doesn't need any new repairs as of now, but since the system is old, it could fail in near future. (And he generously put two new bolts without any charge.)

Even though, they tried to do the best second time, they should have done a proper diagnosis the first time without trying to sell me any services, which makes me wary of recommending them.
