Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

Fitch Electric is top notch, reliable, responsive and I can highly recommend their service! Within a week of reaching out to Fitch, I had my 50Amp Tesla charging outlet installed and I'm off to the races.
The entire team from the top (ownership) down to the people out in the field are great humans. I felt like I was part of the Fitch family the entire process. Always got a call or text back.  Instant and constant communication. Rare in this industry and it says a lot!
Pricing was fair and transparent. This is also rare in this industry. Fitch is a great electrical contractor and I highly recommend them. There's no doubt I'll be using them for future residential and commercial projects for me.

Randy and his team were on time and meant business! The scope of my job kept changing (because we kept changing what we wanted), but Randy took it all in his stride and worked to give us the best deal he could.

Randy really knows his stuff (the pg&e fellow complimented his work), and I'm sure we'll work with him on the next stage of our home renovation. Thanks Randy!

Robert had previously installed a 240 volt outlet for us and we had such a great experience that we decided to reach out to him again to install 3 outdoor flood/ring lights. He was quick to respond with a very competitive quote. Robert is professional, very pleasant and knowledgeable. We will use his services again as needed.

Asked Yelp to help me quote a few small projects I had and Antonio was one of the replies.   Very reasonable rate compared to others that quoted and he came the next day and fixed the two items in three hours. I will use him again for my next project.

These guys are really great - professional, safe, well-priced and helpful. We had a long list of electrical repairs and some new installations - they did a really good job on everything. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience with Chris and Dan!!! Very professional and helpful. I will definitely use again and highly recommend.

Great experience for our electrical needs in our bathroom renovation.  GotWatts provided the expertise to answer all questions related to the project and coordinated scheduling with other contractors. Dan the electrician was on time and worked with the vendors. He was very knowledgeable and listened to our last-minute instructions. He competed the job exactly as we wanted meeting all electrical standards and codes.  Thank you GotWatts, you are my choice of the future.

Hancock and his partner came over to my house to install several fans.

They arrived on time and were very professional and competent.

I obtained other Licensed electrician quotes that were cheaper but he was willing to price match the others for a fair price. I chose him b/c he was very responsibly communicative and that gave me confidence.  My instincts proved to be correct.

If you go with him, you should be very pleased all around!

***UPDATE***
So a few months after I'd left the messages and wrote the 1-star review, Steve called me. He apologized and explained that he'd been dealing with some family issues. He had also let go one of the workers who had done my electrical. After making an appointment to come out the following week, I sent him my list of things that needed to be fixed, detailed in my original review.

As promised, Chris came out on Monday. He was on time--even early--friendly and courteous. Chris made some recommendations on how to fix some of the problems, did the work, and also saved the day with some quick thinking. He also changed out a motion detector switch to a regular one even though it was out of scope.

Steve himself came out and we smoothed things over. I was happy to have the work completed quickly and even talked to him about coming back to install a new light over my dining table.

Although I would have preferred the work had been done properly originally, Steve takes pride in his work and I know he felt bad that there had been issues.

I understand when family matters come up, and I told him as much. However, I do think he should have left an outgoing voice message explaining that he was taking time off and would not be returning calls for an extended amount of time.

I was actually about to hire another electrician to fix all the problems, so I would been pretty upset if I had done so only to have Steve contact me afterward.

***ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW***

My initial experience with Steve and John, who were recommended by my contractor, was good. However, I've now left two messages this year for Steve asking him to come back and fix small issues that came up within weeks of my moving back into my remodeled home: canned light went out, dimmer makes a buzzing noise, smoke alarm fell off my master bedroom ceiling. And the big one: fans in both baths come on when heat/air does and not necessarily when they should. I.e., when I'm showering and the bathroom steams up.

I'm sure all of these problems are easy to fix, so I'm frustrated that I've left two very polite messages (one on Steve's cell phone; one at the shop) and still haven't received a call back in over two weeks. I spent more than $10k with Southwest and thought Steve and John were very professional and helpful during the remodel. I think it's very unprofessional now for Steve to not follow up on these issues that I've documented through date-stamped photos.

I think it's interesting that the majority of these 5-star reviews for Southwest are from people who don't write many reviews. This can be a sign of business owners asking for favorable reviews in return for providing a discount. If you're researching electricians or any other businesses on Yelp, I recommend doing your homework. Just because the business has 5-star reviews does not mean they truly are a 5-star business.

I wanted to wait until our permit was approved before leaving a review and it happened today.

I met Bellows through the Costco Services program when I requested a quote to replace our 30+ year old furnace and to add a/c.  Carl came around about two weeks later and spent a good amount of time looking over our house and then explaining our options.  I felt he was very knowledgeable and trusted his suggestions.  Normally, I always get at least three quotes, but by the end of his presentation, I was comfortable enough to sign the agreement.  Due to their backlog, I was warned that our installation wouldn't happen for another six weeks, but we were okay with that.
 
About a week after the consultation, Russell, the project manager, came to our house to check out the logistics as we were moving the furnace from a closet to the attic.  He answered all of my husband's questions to the point that my husband also felt Bellows knew what they were talking about.
 
When the installation date arrived, a team of four worked three and a half days to complete the work.  Each day, they arrived promptly and left the house super clean at the end of the day.  Bellows arranged for another company to do the HERS test which is required for the permit and we passed with no issues.

Today, the city inspector came and Bellows sent a technician to answer any questions he may have and our permit was approved!

Bellows has been very responsive and supportive every step of the way and now that we've used both our new furnace and a/c without issues, we can vouch for their knowledge and skills.

I have already recommended Bellows to two friends and would not hesitate recommending them to you!

I called Oak Electric about hanging a lighted mirror in a bathroom. Jason replied promptly and courteously. He came exactly at the appointed time and completed the job perfectly. The scope of the work was larger than either of us anticipated. He was careful, conscientious, courteous and efficient. I will certainly call Jason/Oak Electric for any future electrical needs. I trust him without ANY hesitation.

JMC is an excellent company with great owners and experienced employees.  I needed electrical installed for a hot tub and they were recommended.  Jon came out the next day and did a very good job explaining the process and the duration.  I explained the hot tub was a surprise for my wife and he ensured it would be done the same day and he would stay to make sure it was up and running by the end of the day before she got home. After I received their detailed quote sent a few hours later, I went with them.

The day came for the hot tub install and the hot tub company was short workers, so Jon and two of his employees helped unload it and get it to it's desired location.  Just so happens I misjudged the level of the foundation for it per the hot tub company rep, and it was recommended I get it fixed before filling it.  Jon called a contractor who gave me a quote, but in the meantime his crew knocked out the electrical install within a few hours.  The contractor was available that day and came out a few hours later.  They fixed the problem in a couple hours, but by that time it was already 5 PM.  Jon personally came back to the house to complete the rest of the install and get the tub up and running before my wife came home, so the surprise wouldn't be ruined.  I let him know he could leave, but he was intent in getting it filled up, primed and running, which he did.  He was finally able to get away around 6 PM.

Jon and his team went above and beyond when they could've walked away and finished another day being it was my mistake.  Thank you JMC and crew for your dedication and professionalism, it meant a lot to my wife and I, she loves it!

Great customer service! Great communication- emails and text messages to let me know what job will be done and when a tech will be arriving. Also the company provides background info on the tech so you know a bit about who's coming into your home. Tim came to do a free assessment and consultation. He was polite and friendly and gave me all the info I needed. Quickly was able to set up an appointment to get the job done a few days later. Christian was amazing! Even found a way to get the job done more efficiently than anticipated so I ended up saving a couple hundred dollars! They are not only friendly and good at their job, but were very safe when entering my home (shoe coverings, face mask and gloves). Highly recommend these guys! Top notch service!

Brian was affordable, on time, did great work and was very open and honest to deal with throughout. When I found a small issue with the work that was not Brian's fault (I had him put a light fixture in a place where the door blocked it), he came back out soon after and was able to quickly and easily fix it.

We're new home owners so we very much appreciate having an electrician we can trust and will be using him for future jobs.

Rob Odom was recommended to me by 2 friends. He and his crew were great. We had to rewire the whole house which was a huge job and they had to work in tight crawl spaces and very hot attic. Our schedule was very tight but Rob came thru for us. They did a tremendous job. We're very pleased with the quality of their work and the price. Top notch service. Highly recommended.

Great electrician and very fast! Came relatively on time and brought own equipment. I had minor work done with my breaker box and he knew right away what the issue was. We will use Lam again for future electrical work!

Was able to convert my conventional tube lights to led after my handyman couldn't do it. Great service and keeps his word.

I highly recommend Zurc Power Solutions for all your solar needs. Francisco is very knowledgeable and can easily explain the intricacies of going solar. They installed our system 3 years ago and have kept in touch by monitoring our system to make sure everything is working properly.  I've referred him to friends and they are all very happy with their systems. Best of all, in this heat we can keep our house cool and we actually got money back at the end of the year.  It's easy to do. Just call Zurc Power Solutions and get your solar installed today.

He knows what he is doing. The transformer was mounted, wiring, testing, troubleshooting, and overall delivery was straight forward. I'd ne happy to call him again for work needed.
