Best Electricians in San Jose, CA

Rick from Main Stream Electric is a fantastic worker.I had three minor, but complicated electrical problems: miswired hot tub, rewired outdoor lights, and replacing a thermostat.Rick came out (called first to let me know he was coming) looked at each problem, got me a fair quote. It was reasonable and I accepted. Rick went out got the tools and supplies and completed the work.Courteous, efficient, very knowledgeable about electrical codes and safety, presented reasonable options, and a real customer first attitude.One of the top five service providers I have ever worked with.Without a doubt if I need an electrician I will call Main Stream Electric.

Contacted AOE on Sunday to have a outdoor charging connection installed for my new electric hybrid vehicle.  AOE came on Monday, gave a very competitive quote (I got three).  Josh seemed genuinely interested in understanding exactly what I wanted, provided a very timely quote (not the cheapest but 50% less than the highest) and scheduled the work for Tuesday.  The quote was detailed and included pictures of the parts to be used which greatly increased my confidence.  Josh and Juan came on time this morning, completed the job within three hours AND added a GFCI outlet in my garage without charging extra.   Result is impeccable, they are super cooperative, flexible and friendly.  No hesitation to recommend.

Greg is the electrician you need to call. I had Greg switch out an outlet and extend it about 4 feet and his work and efficiency was excellent. 6 months later I had an issue that was created by my pool builder with a breaker that was not only installed incorrectly, but it was the wrong breaker for the job. Because Greg has to be one of the nicest people you can encounter he talked me through the job that needed to be done over the phone and now I'm pleased with how my pool equipment has been running. Thanks a lot Greg, you'll be the only electrician I'll call from now on and recommend.

Ro and one of his teammates helped to address failed bathroom exhaust fan. They were very professional, prompt with reasonable pricing. Very satisfied with their service and plan to work with them in the future

Great customer service.  He was able to get to the job sooner than we thought and Jason was quick and efficient.  Very reasonable prices.  I will definitely use them again!

I didn't go looking for Jesse; he was recommended to me by the HVAC company that was putting in my new central air and heating. I needed to redo all the electrical in my house, since it had very old knob and tube wiring and I couldn't even put insulation in the attic on top of it. As it was, I had already picked out an electrician who I was going with, but the HVAC guys said such great things about Jesse that I had to meet with him. And I'm sure glad I did!

Jesse is a very straightforward guy. When you meet with him, he'll tell you all about himself, and his family, and his history, and how he became such an expert in the electrical field. At first you might thing TMI! But in the end, you realize that this is just Jesse trying to make you feel at ease with him, with no pressure to hire him, and he even makes it feel guilt-free if you decide to go with someone else.

The real irony here, though, is that Jesse turned out to be waaaay better than the HVAC company I hired. He was able to tell me ahead of time what they were doing wrong -- and how to fix it.  In the end, they fixed every problem there was, and I appreciate that in a company, but it really helped to have Jesse there to give me a heads up.

Jesse worked on our attic during one of the really hot spells this summer. I dropped by the house during the high heat of the day, expecting the house to be empty because it was way to hot to work, but there was Jesse -- in the attic no less -- working and sweating his butt off.  The HVAC guys, it should be noted, were no where to be seen!  I didn't want to bother Jesse, so I left and returned around 8:00 p.m. that night to see how things had been progressing. Well slap my a** and call me Judy, but there was Jesse, still in the attic, still sweating, and still working his butt off!  He really was/is the hardest working contractor I have ever seen (or likely will ever see!).  I was truly impressed with his work ethic and sense of professionalism.  But it doesn't stop there.

Jesse also has an encyclopedic knowledge of the electrical code, and can virtually quote chapter and verse of it. It was a joy to watch him yucking it up with the Code Inspector for the final inspection, and I could swear that he was finishing the inspector's sentences for him!  There were some changes to the code that weren't supposed to go into effect until later in the summer, but the inspector wanted Jesse to implement them now.  With no complaint, and with no extra charge, Jesse spent an entire additional day implementing the new code changes onto the work that he had already done.  You do NOT get service like that these days, certainly not from a contractor!

Is Jesse infallible? Not really. He is human after all.  He was not able to finish the job exactly on schedule, excluding the extra day for implementing the new code changes. But even this wasn't really his fault. The HVAC guys had hammered in some nails through three or four different lines in the attic (ugh!), and Jesse had to completely re-run those lines. He could have just spliced them at the cut, but he's way too professional for that. He never even complained about the HVAC guys doing that -- they told me about it (kudos to them for their honesty).

Jesse also did a great job of cleaning up after himself every day, which was really great. I did, at one point, blame him for the tremendous amount of drywall dust all over the floors, the walls, the furniture, etc.  He explained that he cleaned up after himself every day, but all you had to do was look around at all the dust to wonder if he was crazy. Well, once again the HVAC guys confessed to making the mess. And they even offered to hire a professional cleaning crew to come in and clean it up (which we did!). Once I factored that into the equation, I realized that Jesse was in fact super clean in the limited amount of wall work that he did (i.e., he vacuumed up after every cut into the wall).

I try to write fair and balanced reviews to be helpful to people. I realize this review sounds like I'm trying to get a job for a close family member.  But I'm not.  Well, if I had to say there was a drawback to hiring Jesse, I guess it would be that he is a small company (just himself) and for larger jobs it will take a little longer. But his prices are definitely lower than the big companies, so it all washes out in the end. Oops. That turned into a plus. Well, all I can do is recommend that you meet Jesse, let him tell you his story and give you an estimate, and then you can make up your own mind about what I'm saying.

But I do highly recommend Jesse for any and all electrical work that you might have to do.

Ivan was really professional in responding to my inquiry in a timely manner. He sent me a reasonable quote and then was very punctual in showing up at our appointment time and fixing the faulty outlet.  I highly recommend him for repairing eclectic issues around the house. Thank you Ivan.

Excellent service by Archbold Electric. Responded quickly, gave me different solutions to my problem, and explained everything out. Other than that, Brian was on time and professional- did a great job and made sure it was all up to code. Reasonable on his pricing. This could not have been easier. Thanks Brian. He'll get our business in the future.

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's guys are amazing needed to switch out some light fixtures in my house showed up next day
Very professional and polite.They did a awesome job and at a great price. I would recommend them to all my friends and family
Thanks Al

As a small business owner, I do believe there is a right way and wrong way to run a business. After a lousy encounter with the first local electrician we found, we thankfully discovered Valencia Electric. Natalie is extremely professional, a great communicator and an absolute pleasure to work with. She reconfigured our internet, hooked up 5 ethernet connections and 2 wifi hotspots using existing wiring in our house. She provided a quick, thorough estimate and left us with a digital invoice upon completion of the work, which was done very carefully and efficiently. Highly recommended!!!

Tyler and Chris are good reliable electricians. We had them put in 2 outlets, 3 ethernet ports, 3 light fixture boxes. They were always on time and called when they were on their way. We also lucked out and were able to get an appointment the following week. They were both nice to work with and explained everything they were doing. Tyler also has an impeccable memory. We explained the whole job and without writing anything down, he sent us a very clear proposal and knew exactly what the job was and was able to walk Chris through it, without us having to explain again. Tylers clear understanding of the job shows his experience in the field. I highly recommend his business.

Our 20-year-old furnace died right during the freezing temps this winter, and Rajan came out the very next day. He identified problems with our old ducts and old AC, too, which were wasting energy and money. The team that installed our new furnace and AC were awesome! Kelsey, Christian, Avalino, Hung, Edel, Ron, Santino and Andrew were all extremely professional and we highly recommend Service Champions.

Ivo response very quick and did good job. I submitted request @6:30pm and he came at @7:30pm and the job is done @8:45pm. Wow!

We called Divine Electric after our neighbours' 5 star experience with them. Another local electric company failed to solve our Wi-Fi ceiling lights issue. Nathan, who came to assess our situation, was fantastic. He offered options and explained them, suggested we get a surge protector and provided an estimate based on our decisions. We loved that DE estimates include all materials, time, etc and will be adhered to. The two electricians who came to do the work were on time and walked us through what they did. Overall, an outstanding experience!

Great service, on time, happy to have found Ryan.  A delivery truck damaged the post of our mailbox. Ryan did a perfect installation of our new post and mailbox.

Connor was here this morning, spent plenty of time explaining several different reasons to me that I don't really need to have a full house power system, only to keep my thermostat set at a reasonable temperature setting.

Thank you Connor for your time and the very helpfull information.

Wilson is very professional and efficient. He helped me solve some issues with my rigid conduit requested by PG&E for my electrical panel upgrade. I needed help fast because this problem blocked my house remodel inspection.  Wilson is very flexible to support my timing needed. And he did a great job fixing the issue.  Highly recommended!

Sam arrived quickly. Diagnosed the problem. Did everything I needed and gave me a senior discount. We now have a good man to call for our electrical issues!

This company is the worst and have scammed me out of $700 to repair my generator. They came out to my house, performed a tune-up of my generator but could not explain why the generator still would not power on. They took my battery and said they needed order a part and would come back to install. Two weeks later they have not come back and had an excuse that the part was stolen from their PO Box. Jim never calls and always has an excuse. I did make Jim sign a paper to explain the work he said he performed for $700 and had him sign it. This will be key in small claims court. Steer clear of this business.
