Timeline:
12/13 @ 1PM: Estimate Request went out to several contractors
12/13 @ 3PM: Gustavo(Owner) was in my house for an estimate
12/15 @ 8AM: Work Starts
12/16 @ 5PM: Work Ends

Communication:
Excellent communication throughout the entire project. Corresponded via Yelp, Text, Email and over the phone. Gustavo's understanding of the work/scope was on point and he was able to give ideas on how he'd execute the work for the project.

Pricing:
After receiving several free estimates from other electricians GNH's pricing was very competitive and fair.

Professionalism:
Extremely professional and is very thorough with his work. Gustavo's YEARS of experience really shined through during the estimate walkthrough. It was VERY evident that he knew what he was doing and CLEARLY understood my asks. Always showed up prompt and on time for the work. Wore shoe coverings every time while walking on the carpet.

Execution of Project:
Gustavo and his team were AMAZING. In the event decisions were needed, Gustavo did an excellent job looping me in on the details and his recommendations. On the day of the project, I gave him a curve ball and asked him to install 2 more recessed lights and he took on the new scope with a smile. The end product of the project was GREAT! The effort and detail that Gustavo and his team put into my home was outstanding. My new recessed lighting and updated electrical makes my house feel BRAND new!

Conclusion:
One of the best contractors I've worked with! I have Gustavo's contact details saved and ready to be leveraged for future projects. I've already started to brag about his EXCELLENT work to my friends and family! Personally I'm looking forward to continuing to leverage GNH's services for many years to come.

Moises was very responsive, professional and reasonable.

The job was to run electrical from our main panel through underground PVC pipe and hooked up to our shed. From there he had to install a junction box as well as a weatherproof outlet for our sprinkler control panel.

In addition, Moises and his crew also installed a dozen exterior light fixtures around the house as well as 3 ring cameras.

All went very smoothly.  And even the small mistakes were corrected super fast and without conflict.  I would highly recommend Tari electric.

Waste of time! Calling the number gives a message to send an email. No response to email sent. Also submitted a message through their website. No response to that either. Other contractors are also busy, but at least bothered to call back, or had a greeting that said they're not accepting new customers.

Rick gave a fair price and did great work.  Wouldn't hesitate to hire him in the future for any of my electrical needs.

I forgot to write this review sooner. I had too much load on a Circuit Breaker which it would trip. I wanted  to put the microwave on a new Circuit Breaker. I contacted Dalcon and they sent a weasel technician who first started showing a booklet about his degree and how good he is. Then he started bullshitting and then recommending that the best option is to replace the electrical panel and all the Circuit Breakers for $2525.47. Surely I knew that my house is 20 years old and it does not need a new electrical panel and this crook is trying to rip me off. Later that week I called another company with good reviews. They came by and gave me an estimate of $450. Within 2 hours they got a new Circuit Breaker installed in electrical panel with new wiring to the microwave which is working perfectly for a while now.

Andrew is a polite and hard working young man. He replaced our water heater neatly and quickly.

There is a reason why James has all five star ratings.  If I could give him more stars than that, I would have done so happily.  

We had some lighting that needed to be installed in our townhome's living room and kitchen.  He called me back within a couple of hours of placing the initial call so as to arrange meeting to see what our options would be.  He is punctual, professional, efficient, very knowledgeable, and polite.  He also recommended a ceiling/texturer to remove the awful popcorn ceiling prior to the job, who has also done a great job.  It felt like a two for one special!  The lighting he recommended for both areas looks perfect.  His rates were also very reasonable.  

If you are looking for a good electrician, look no further than James.  I will use him for any future electric issues here at the house.  I cannot recommend him enough.

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.

Smoothly arranged an appointment and was pleasantly surprised that Chuck could fix my front door so quickly and easily.  (The previous handyman -- Brother's -- had charged me as much and merely gouged out the latch hole a bit which didn't solve the problem.)   He did the work last month, but I waited until now to write the review because I wanted to be sure that he had fixed the real problem well.  Sure enough, the door works like it is brand new.

Chuck diagnosed the problem and described in clearly to me.  He then went an extra mile to make sure I got exactly the right replacement door part.  I went from dreading the next house repair to looking forward to getting any repairs I need fixed by Chuck.  He found the real problem, fixed it beautifully, and charged a surprisingly reasonably amount.  I highly recommend his work.

Thank you, YELP, for guiding me to this resource!

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.

Was looking to upgrade our new houses old panel to a new 200amp, add exterior lights, canned lights in various parts of the house and ground outlets.   Henry was very prompt to come out, evaluate what we needed (and things I thought we did that we may not need). On his evaluation he was very clear on scope of work and provided a very good price for the work. We purchased the lights switches ourselves to save costs at Henry's suggestion.  For the install of panel and light and all Doug was prompt, polite, and awesome to get everything put in. They completed all work in two days flawlessly.  Will be doing more work soon and will call CP&L for sure. And recommend without reserve if you need work done.

Jay did a great job installing new blinds for my kitchen window! Prior to his visit he helped me to measure the window and order blinds of the correct size and design.

Our electricity was out in our upstairs master bedroom. We thought it might be due to rats that had gotten into a wall near the circuit panel.
When they were gone, we called a couple of other companies who said they could put us on their list for a month later. They didn't want to come out & diagnose, but bring both the electrician and an apprentice. Total cost $200. an hour.
After looking at Yelp, we called David Bertsch. He answered the phone(in the evening) and asked if it could wait til the next day! He would have come right out if we needed him then.
The next day, he called to say that he was ahead of schedule and would it be ok if he can early. He arrived on time, a very pleasant man. He almost immediately found the problem (not due to chewed wiring), fixed it, found the GFI switch we needed reset in the garage and even replaced the burned out lightbulbs in the high up stairwell for us.
He was here an hour, charged us $80. and we paid him $100.
We consider him a miracle worker and he will be our go to electrician from now on!

There is some electrical problem in the downstairs bathroom. My home warranty company sent some contractor from Switch Electric Socal to check. The contractor could not figure out the problem and asked me to replace the wire. I requested a second call and the contractor came to the same conclusion. From the time I made the service call to the second time the contractor came, it has been more than one month. I called Yongpeng and he came the same day. It took him less than 20 minutes to  figure out the problem. He fixed it the same day. He has also helped me checked other electrical problems. He is really an expert in this area. If you have any electrical problem, just call him. It will save you time and money!

They say in construction it's about time, cost and quality - you get to choose two.  Somehow with Safety First you'll be getting all three!  Ronnie came to my house to give me a quote for a new EV home charger and the rest was history.  He walked me through the process and was able to explain complex electrical concepts so that they made sense and I was able to make informed decisions about how to proceed.  After careful decision making, Ronnie and I agreed that a panel upgrade made the most sense for my aging home.  He was also able to help install an additional 220 outlet that will now allow me to move my dryer away from natural gas and make the most of my solar.  He was also able to install BEAUTIFUL recessed lighting throughout our home, something that had previously be a low point of our home's aesthetics.  Finally, Ronnie was able to install a gorgeous chandelier over our kitchen table that utilizes stunning Edison bulbs.  I seriously feel like I live in a brand new home thanks to Safety First!

SM repair fixed faulty outlets for me. He was on time, honest, easy to work with, knowledgeable, and fair. I will not hesitate to do business with him for my future home repair needs.

I found Larry to be knowledgeable, engaging, and thorough. Larry responded very quickly (on a weekend) to my needs and was very courteous and respectful. I would certainly recommend Larry for your electrical needs.
