Best Electricians in San Jose, CA

I had Rick and Ricky come out for my company, we had a few quotes for the work but Main Stream beat them all! It gets better, when Rick and Ricky showed up they were on time and hit the ground running. Our order was unique and had a lot going on but they came back day after day and got the job done well.

Ricky cleaned up and made sure that everything we needed was completed to our satisfaction and also offered to do a walk through of all the work and also made sure that the working space he needed was as clean as when he showed up the first day.

All in all, this is a fantastic company with very knowledgeable Electricians and journeymen. They are nice and courteous and had our best interests at heart.

Thank you both, Rick and Ricky, I hope to work with you again in the future because you are our go-to Electricians from here on out!

We had Kyle from Alpha Omega Electric come out to our house a while back and install a new ceiling light.  He was professional, friendly, and I would absolutely call them for future work.

I called Greg needing some assistance after my alarm company blew the transformer and wired the doorbell incorrectly.  Knowing the difficult task at hand, Greg kindly accepted the job.  Greg arrived on time, changed the transformer, rewired the doorbell and had the system working in no time. Great job!   Thank you and we will definitely be using Greg in the future.

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.

Emailed with Mark over the weekend, he was very responsive and was able to fit us in Monday morning for a circuit breaker repair.  
Work that was completed Monday AM was done quickly and gave us good information for future upgrades for our panel.

I have called JMG Electric numerous times trying to get an appointment to install some z-wave light switches, I even e-mailed them. No response. At this point I'm looking else where.

We needed several outlets installed and some Ethernet cable run. They worked with us to achieve our objectives in the most cost effective way.

I had Brian and Chris install an electric car charger at our house. Brian was prompt coming over and telling me what needed to be done, and Chris was also right on time and finished the work in the exact amount of time he estimated. The installation is faultless and exactly what I wanted.  I highly recommend them and will be using them as my standard service from now on!

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.

Al Smith Electric has been our go-to electrician for over 15 years. His quality service and fair pricing put him at the top of our approved vendor list. He is pleasant to work with and quickly and efficiently solves all of our electrical problems from small jobs to large-scale electrical improvements. We highly recommend Al Smith Electric for any and all of your electrical needs.

I cannot say enough good things about Natalie at Valencia Electric.  We exchanged emails about my project and she gave me a tentative email quote.  This was great as it gave me a ball park of what to expect price-wise.  I did shop around a bit and decided to go with her.  She wasn't the cheapest and she wasn't the most expensive bid I received.  I'm so glad I chose Valencia Electric to install a 20 amp circuit, switches, and wiring to my new bathroom exhaust/heater fan.  She was prompt, super polite, was COVID safe (she even wore booties over her shoes), meticulous in her work, and very, very clean.  All things I love in a contractor.  If you're looking for a great electrician, call Valencia Electric.  I will definitely be using her again.

Punctual and did a great job unhooking and capping the hard wire lines that were attached to my Advantium Microwave.  He then install the microwave and trimming  into my wall cabinet.

Jesus called and arrived an hour early. He was well prepared. Explained everything to us prior to completing the task. After an evaluation he spent an appropriate amount of time explaining each issue, prior to our agreement.  He is a fantastic technician, very knowledgeable and understands customer service.

Ivo was quick to respond and super knowledgeable. He was helpful in providing me options and communicating clearly. Extremely trustworthy, as I could not be at the property while they were doing the installation I actually had them do the entire installation and testing without me there. They locked up behind themselves and did a great job sending pictures of the functioning light after installation. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars was that the price seemed a little steep. Ended up paying $400 for a little less than an hour of work to install an $100 light. Compare that to earlier in the day, paid $150 to have a new dishwasher installed (and old one hauled away). I was in a bind, so I made it work - but I'd probably shop around a bit next time.

Paul was fast, friendly, and efficient. Fixed our outlets in no time! Would highly recommend Divine Electric!

We found Cockrums Handyman Service on Nextdoor. I messaged him on Yelp and he answered quickly and was at my house the next day for an estimate. Returned to do the job later that same day and completed it for a reasonable price.  He was on time and left the work area clean and we feel a good honest business man.  We will definitely be calling him in the future for more projects!  Thank you!

Recently, from a referral, I contacted John Hope Electric to hang a chandelier in my studio salon in Aptos.  Long story short I had previously contacted FIVE other electricians who either did not respond, did not show up, gave me quotes but never returned calls, or cancelled after work was scheduled.  I was so frustrated!!  Then I called John Hope... Best decision ever!  

John showed up on time at my studio to assess and provide a quote.  He was professional and knowledgable, he gave me realistic expectations, explained possibilities, provided a quote when he said he would (that was incredibly reasonable might I add) and I was able to easily schedule work.  Come the day of when work was to happen, his technician (Cree) showed up eager and ready to do the work.  Cree was awesome!  He was very professional and did a great job.  He finished promptly and kept the salon very neat and tidy.

Billing was a breeze also!  Everything was as quoted, and the receptionist was so easy to work with.  Online billing was a plus!

Overall, I was so pleased with everything they did.  I am SOOOOO thankful!  I now only wish they did plumbing and construction/handyman work because now I'm having the same problems trying to schedule some other work.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!!

They did a great job for me and were very easy to work with.
Thanks for your services!

Called Los Gatos Electric on a Saturday to discuss upgrading my main electrical panel to support a charger for a Tesla. Phone was answered by Jim Holliday, the owner who asked that I send a couple of pictures of the main and sub panels so he could assess. Later that day, he called me back and said he was in the area and asked if I'd be available at home for his to drop by and see the job in person. At that time, there was no mention of any charge, I just assumed he needed additional info that wasn't included with my pictures.

When he came out, he indicated that there wasn't enough space in any one of the panels to do the upgrade and install the charger, and that the options to upgrade and create space would cost between $2200 and $12000, depending on what option I picked...the most expensive being the option that included 'future-proofing' my house, so that other electrical items could be easily added in the future. The least expensive option included replacing a couple of breakers and sizing them down, so that additional space could be created on the panel. Fine with all this, I signed his estimate for approx $2178 and he asked for a check, which I told him I didn't have with me, but I could pass it on to him on Monday from my office.

Problems started later that evening when he texted me and asked me what time he could pick up the check. I told him I was reconsidering doing the work, before getting a second estimate. He then said I would owe him for a 'dispatch' fee, even though I had never agreed to that, and that I was the unethical one because I asked for time to get a second opinion. It just seems that the sales tactics are too high pressure and that Jim prioritizes collecting the money over doing the right thing for the customer. I am happy I have declined to pursue the project with Los Gatos Electric.
