Back in June 2021, I reached out to Mike from seeing the positive reviews here on Yelp, and my experience was equally positive. I wanted to run power from our electrical panel on the back side of our house to our garage so we could install a car charging unit that we already owned (Chargepoint). He requested some photos of the location where the charger would be installed as well as photos of the panel, which I sent through Yelp. Once we agreed on a price (which was very competitive amongst the several other quotes I received), he was over at my place in about two weeks. The install took one day, and everything looked and worked great. He scheduled the permit inspection for me and came back on the same day of the inspection to help with that process too.

Overall, no complaints and very satisfied with the work done. I've been using the charger for many months now with no issues.

I just bought a house in Santa Cruz and the people who I had bought it from thought it was a great idea to convert the garage to another bedroom.  Not for me so i ripped it out and put it back into a garage.  When I did it I had a lot of wiring that didn't work.  I don't know anything about wiring or electricity at all so got on yelp and read some reviews.  Tri-phase had great reviews and another electric co.  I called them both out and Mike and I hit it off very well.  The other co. would even quote me a ball park.  Mike came in told me what he thought it would be.  I thought the price was very fair and he seamed really honest.  He went ahead and did the work.  It looked very clean and well looked like he takes pride in what he does.  I think he said he had been doing it for something like 20 years or so.  When he was all done he was less than what he ball parked me.  Who does that.  He impressed me and I know he wasn't just doing it just this one time.  Obviously you can tell I'm impressed.  I need a lot more electrical done in my fixer upper of a house and I will be calling mike and his team again.  

Thanks mike.

James called when he said he would, showed up on time and did everything right - he was very considerate and explained everything in detail. Won't hesitate to contact him again in the future.

Great service by Mr. Tsai, who installed the wall connector in 2 hours. He's kind, professional and thoughtful. Highly recommended!

We needed an emergency service at my mom's home due to a small fire in her kitchen. The Fire Department required us to have an electrician to inspect the burned wires before we can turn on the electrical power. It was hard to find an electrician on Labor Day. Found Acero Electric thru Yelp and Richard performed a superb work, wrote a detailed work done on the invoice, and charged us with a reasonable price. I'm keeping his business card for future reference. Very nice guy as well.

Wife contacted Dmitry last night and he was able to stop by and finish a 2-hour work the next morning. We contacted few other electricians whose responses changed from nothing to we don't change lightbulbs. He was on time, professional and very accommodating of questions that I kept asking as he did the work. I am just happy to have found an electrician I can rely on and trust. Strongly recommended.

I called them around appointment time to find out they're not showing up and didn't bother  contacting me.  Only then he asked to reschedule.

Overall, we had a great experience with TD West.

We had a few outlets stop working in a room, and the breaker for that room did not trip. It was important that we got it fixed fairly quickly given that the space is highly utilized.

We reached out for quotations, and Dinh was very fast in responding to our request alongside a few other good electricians in the Bay Area. The difference was that he also suggested a few things to quickly check before booking him to see if he could save us some money. While those quick checks did not fix anything, the quick thinking in options trying to help us was a preview of how his technical Sal worked while he was onsite.

While they got hung up on a job before coming, Sal did show up within the expected time. He walked in with his utility belt, shoe covers, and tools ready to go. There was zero waiting or extraneous discussion. He was professional and jumped right on the problem and figured out what was wrong within about 15 minutes. The entire experience was smooth, and he finished up in 45 minutes.

As a consumer, I feel it is important to make aware that the minimum labor was 2 hours, and that was what they charged me at a rate of $250. While I probably could have shopped around for cheaper, the result was what I wanted.

As for areas to improve? They are small:

-- I would suggest that their technician brings a small vacuum in the future to clean up debris from removing the wall trim for some of the outlets. He did not clean that up, which is not a big deal, but it would have been nice given the rate
-- I misunderstood that since the labor was 2 hr minimum, that Sal would be showing up to help from 10am-12pm. Instead 10am-12pm was the arrival window, which is why I was sitting around wondering where he was at 10:20am. Not a big deal, and luckily I had carved out extra time.

Like I mentioned at the start, overall, this was a great experience, and I would use them again!

I called on a Sunday night with an electrical emergency. A digging project uncovered an electrical conduit much too close to the surface and -- long story short -- the main line to our ADU was damaged and making loud popping sounds. Had to shut off the power to my mom's little house and she is elderly and disabled. We ran some very long extension cords to power her house through our bathroom windows and started making phone calls. Coastline Electric answered in spite of being out of town. I explained what I'd heard about cost from another emergency electrician and he was like wow...that's crazy. Said he'd be flying back in the morning and would come out and give us a free quote. Indeed, he came right out, discussed the plan, and sent his guys out the next day -- a full day earlier than originally estimated. They showed up on time, got the work done quickly and cleanly. Thanks so much to the team at Coastline Electric. Really appreciate the quick service and my mom was thrilled to get her power back!

My tenant had a problem with dimming lights in multiple rooms of the house. I called another company before I called Hewlett, and the other company was extremely rude and wanted to charge me $300 minimum over the phone. Then I called up Hewlett Electric, and Meigs advised me to call up PG&E first and have them come out to determine if the problem was on their end. He told me that a call from PG&E would be free, and that doing so would avoid my being charged some exorbitant fee by an electrician who wouldn't even be able to fix a PG&E problem.

I did exactly what Meigs advised, and lo and behold, PG&E determined that a small animal had chomped its way through one of the wires coming into the house. They fixed it up for free, my tenants are happy, and I am thrilled with Hewlett Electric. This is a company that goes out of its way to help customers. Very impressed.

I needed to replace my very old electrical panel and get an EV charging outlet installed in my garage.  Ted and his crew did a great job.  Ted is pleasant, straightforward and easy to communicate with, as well as quick in responding to questions.  The job was completed on time and on budget.  I highly recommend Apollo Electric.

I would have given them no star but that is not an option on Yelp.  Westlyn is extremely unprofessional.  We had hired him to do some house work.  Not only he broke our dry wall ceiling twice, but had a courage to tell me that I am a lier.   He did pay to fix the dry wall but I had to hire another electrician to fix the problems Alley Electric created.  The way Westlyn behaved over the phone, I had to file a police complain.  The list of complaints can go on but who has time.  Just so that unsuspecting person doesn't end up hiring like I did, I am putting this review up. My recommendation is that avoid these unprofessionals.

Our electrical connection on the weather mast from roof to PGE connection exploded on Friday night.  I contacted Raphael through Yelp and he responded right away so I called him.  He was able to come to our home to give us a free quote and explained everything in detail clearly.  We hired him after talking to a few other electricians.  When it was time to do the work, Raphael helped me every step of the way to get a permit and to contact PGE for reconnection.  He was available by text and phone call and responded quickly.  Would definitely hire him again for other work around our house.

I took a chance and contacted Araz Electric to install two new 120v outlets. Elvin got me back promptly with a reasonable estimate, and we set a day for him to come over to install the outlets. Overall, the experience was quite pleasant. Elvin took his time to install the outlets and did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, during the installation, he noticed I had a faulty outlet with his tester, which we replaced. I'd use them again for my future projects.

Omri was great today. We had lost power to half of the kitchen outlets. He identified the issue right away .
I highly recommend Omri and CA Electrical Group .

After browsing a long list of Tesla charger installers, I ultimately chose Fruitdale Electric. Within days of my initial contact, they visited my home and provided a quote, which was much faster than I expected.

On installation day, their technicians arrived promptly. They installed a Tesla gen 3 charger, surge protection, and ran electrical wiring through my attic to the opposite side of the house. Despite the terrible weather at the time, they delivered flawless work.

The location of the charger was a challenge due to the tight space, and I had anticipated conduit running outside of my house. However, they exceeded my expectations and executed an incredibly clean installation with no visible wires or conduits, leaving just a Tesla charger on the wall exactly where I wanted it. Most importantly, my car now charges at a rate of over 40mph, a significant improvement from the previous rate of 4mph.

He was attentive to our requests, he is very professional and answered all our queries. We went back-n-forth a few times over materials but he was very patient with all our requests. I highly recommend him for any handyman work.

Unless you are a great DIY person, which I am not, I suggest you contact Ed.  Awesome professional and friendly service.  We had a number of jobs we needed to get done including installing curtain rods, mounting TV, and assisting with home security installation. Ed did it all. He knows his stuff and is very meticulous.  Everything looks awesome and he gave great pointers along the way.  Needless to say I will be hiring him again in the future and I would recommend you to do the same.

Thanks again Ed and see you soon!

Johnathan was very helpful and professional. He came on time and quoted me reasonable rate to get the job done. I will be happy to call him again for next job

Although our commercial lighting project took longer than expected-like everything during covid, everyone we worked with was top notch. Outstanding customer service and so nice! And our lighting looks great too. We would not hesitate to have Pacific Coast Home Services back for any other project that comes up with our store.
