Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

Competitive pricing, on time, great work. Thanks Gustavo and your team for bringing my circuit breaker and outlets into the 21st century.

Moises and his crew are great! I had a bunch of miscellaneous electrical home improvement projects spanning the replacement of two bathroom fans, kitchen under and above cabinet lighting, and the swapping of various switches throughout the house.

The crew were pretty flexible around scheduling around my constraints. They're also pretty responsive to text and email.

At one point, I wasn't sure of where the location of the LED strip above the cabinets should be (that is, towards the back or the front or the middle). After they installed the above cabinet lighting, I didn't like the shadow cast from the cabinets onto the ceiling. I asked if they could fix that, and they happily obliged and moved the LED strips, which now give a soft glow on the ceiling.

Lastly, they were local to my area, so I'll definitely be using them again in the future for my electrical project needs. Thank you!

Roman just finished upgrading all my lights to LED and I'm thrilled with the results.  We installed Nora LED cans as accent lights in almost every room.  Beautiful, what a difference!    We also installed new LED lights in our closets.  These are so nice, wish we had done this sooner.  Roman also installed two new circuits for our bathroom upgrade.  And in the living room, he ran speaker wire behind the wall so we can cleanly place speakers in multiple locations.

This was a large project that took most of 2 weeks.  Roman was very good at troubleshooting the unexpected and applying his considerable knowledge and experience.  I also very much appreciated his efficient use of my time and his.  Definitely a 5 star job.  

And here's where he went above and beyond the 5 stars: Roman pointed out that the previous electrician had buried an under cabinet wire in the wall that should have been used in the unnecessarily dark corner.  I was so grateful that he noticed it and pointed it out to me.   Don't hesitate to call Roman, it doesn't get any better than this.

I had Grover Electric come out to fix a problem with my circuit breaker.  Over the phone they said the service call would be free.  When they arrived they charged me $250 and said the free only applied if they did repairs (they would discount the fee from the total cost).  They also said the repairs would cost $1800.  Feeling uncomfortable with all this, I chose not to have them repair anything.  I later had a friend recommend someone else who indicated the repairs Grover Electric was proposing were unnecessary and overpriced.

I would not recommend using these people.  If you do, be VERY careful.

I just bought a house a little over a month ago. The guy I bought it from did a lot of work himself and didn't do it right. There is aluminum wiring throughout the house. The washer and dryer go in the bathroom. Well, the wiring had gone bad a stopped working. We had an estimate from someone else saying they would re-wire the bathroom for the dryer. They would put in new copper wiring. They wanted $800!! I didn't have that kind of money so I went on Yelp and shopped around like I always do and I found Dalcon Electric. Called them up and John Adams came out the same day. He quoted us $250! He was hired. He came out the next day and had the job done in 1 hour! Fast service and at affordable price!

I sent out a Yelp quote request for a thermostat replacement, and Andrew responded within minutes. Both Andrew and Charlis were very flexible with their schedules and showed up in a couple of days. They were very courteous, polite, on time, and attentive to details. They did a great job with the electrical rewiring needed for my Google Nest installation. Would recommend these guys anytime.

James was very professional, showed up on time and explained everything well.  The job was completed quickly and well. I highly recommend James and SV Electric.

Knowledgeable and detail oriented approach provided. Needed upgrades to the electric panel to accommodate the switch from a gas to electric water heater. The team was able to diagnose the issue, fully communicate the available options, and help create a plan to address the situation. The team is RESPONSIVE and will definitely use them AGAIN. I highly recommend them.

I called and left a voice mesage that I needed my furnace pilot light re-lit. I also sent a text. Chuck responded to my text message within 1/2 an hour. He was actually closed for the day but he did return my text message that he was not able to come out perform furnace service because he is booked through mid January. I do appreciate the fact that Chuck had the professional decency to promptly reponse to my messages.

Unbelievably prompt and excellent service. My home's mysterious wiring problem was successfully diagnosed and repaired **within 1.5 hrs of dialing Enrique's number**. And this was not a trivial problem to solve.

If you live in the bay area and have an electrical emergency and you try calling any of the 5-star rated placed on yelp ... you'll get a mix of the following experience:
1. go to voicemail, 50% wont call back
2. goes to receptionist/salesperson and not the electrician who can understand the problem
3. an appointment 5 weeks out if you're lucky.
4. some places will give you the option to get to front of the line for a $150 emergency service fee.

I called Enrique and he picked the phone himself personally. To me that's the first sign of a good small business. I told him I had an electrical wiring problem and needed an appointment. I described the problem to him over the phone, he didn't rush and patiently discussed the problem and asked a bunch of questions to understand the situation. He then described what he thought the problem might be and gave me a quote on the spot. He asked me to text him my address.

15 minutes later I had a text reply back with an ETA of an electrician's arrival IN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES!

He arrived and was able to diagnose the problem in about 20 minutes and fixed it in another 20-30 minutes.

Description of work:
We had our fridge circuit go out the previous night and had to pull it out and plug it elsewhere. Upon closer inspection I found that the circuit wasn't out, rather the voltage on the two outlets was very odd, one outlet was 110v and the other 140v. And when those same outlets, one would drop to 80v and the other would jump to 190v. He spent some time diagnosing the panel and discovered arcing, a few loose connections, and a burnt+disconnected ground on the fridge circuit. He promptly fixed all of it, and explained every step as I was watching, and got everything back in working order.

Half of the lights in my house went out and it was beyond my knowledge of breakers and fuses.  Henry and his team were awesome.  I gave them some background of when the problem started and where they took place.  They moved their schedule to get everything done in the same day.  Gave me a fair estimate and explained various options based on where the problem could lie.  They're also Diamond Certified so I was comfortable knowing that they've been vetted by an outside company.  I'd definitely recommend.

Talks a nice talk but doesn't do a thorough job and unresponsive when trying to reach for unfinished job.

Air gap is where the dishwasher drain hose is connected to prevent backflow. It is usually located on the top of the sink and is covered by a simple cap. Anyway the hose had appeared to have a blockage and water was coming out through the air gap during draining. Since my regular handyman was out, I looked up yelp and found Fred. He was very responsive and came the very next day. He told me that this is quite a common issue. He removed the hose and showed me that there was no dirt or debris causing the blockage but theorized that because the hose was too long, it could have bent in a way blocking the draining water. He cut a little bit of the hose and connected it back to the air gap on one end and garbage disposal at the other end. However there was a leak at the garbage disposal end. He used navy sealant tape (which he explained were the best) and wound some of it around the leak. This seemed to address the leak. I was happy, gave him what he asked for with the issue seemingly fixed.

However that afternoon when we ran the dishwasher, it started leaking near the spot where he had put the navy sealant tape. I reached out immediately on the same day and on multiple times through the next few days but got no response. I sent one final message telling him that this would be  my last text message before I write a review. He responded immediately and said that he would need to replace the garbage disposal also (which is perfectly working fine btw) if the leak need to be addressed for an amount of $290. Thanks and no thanks Fred!

I called my regular handyman after his message, he came by, spent 10 minutes and fixed the leak. It was apparently a simple job to tighten the hose and that was all it was needed. To me Fred appeared weak (looked  elderly to me), and definitely sought my assistance to hold one end of the hose tightly while he went about fixing the issue. I was wary of the COVID situation but did not have the heart to say no to this.

My main gripe here is that there was no leak prior to this handyman removing the hose. A leak sprung up after he connected the hose back. He did not bother to come by and address the leak, coming up with all kinds of weird excuses including replacing a perfectly working kitchen garbage disposal!

A real, conscientious handyman who takes pride in his work would have come by and taken care of a problem that he caused.

Definitely 5 star worthy ! In desperate need to get my kitchen outlets working after a tear out of counter( United marble and granite Santa Clara , awful co.) and David was so accommodating he came the same day in evening and replaced a gfi and got all my outlets working in an hour!

I had just moved into a new home a year ago, when the shop lights in my garage went out.  I needed an electrician and Mr. Zhang was quick to respond.  He was very professional and friendly and explained there was a short circuit in the wiring.  Another electrician asked me to purchase new lights and he would install all new wiring for me, but Mr. Zhang was able to get my current lights working.

I would definitely use him again and I highly recommend him for anyone who's in need of a good electrician.

All the lights went out in my kitchen and I couldn't figure out what to do. I called up these guys and they responded super quick and came by and helped me out right away. I never leave reviews but Ronnie was super professional and helpful that I had to say something. U don't get quality honest help like this now a days. Definitely give these guys a shot.

Sam is an excellent handyman. He is sincere, hardworking and his work is very clean and tidy. He helped us put up curtains/shades in two of our rooms. We will definitely call him again for any of our future needs around the house.

I found Larry through my realtor's annual vendor referral guide, which only gets folks with pretty much perfect reviews.  I still checked Yelp as well, and it was as solid...so I asked Larry to come over and help me troubleshoot some old wiring I couldn't figure out as I was installing a new bathroom vent fan.   Larry was polite and clear on the phone, prompt in arriving (with a 20 minutes away warning call!) and sure enough fixed the problem quickly and easily, and did not terribly mind the questions from the DIY guy trying not to feel foolish. ;)
..so then I asked him about a theoretically speaking project I'd been considering, and Larry looked, said no problem, and set a date to come back.   Again, prompt and great work, a lot of consideration for my house and pets, and I couldn't be happier.   A fair price, he always checked to make sure I was getting what I wanted, and I'd call Larry again without hesitation.  Thanks again!
