Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

I requested a quote. Josh responded immediately. He works me out via the phone! Can you believe it!? Saved me $200 for a trip check. Very appreciated, Josh. You made my weekend.

Randy is just one big wad of awesome. Works quickly, cleans everything up so it's better than when he arrived, doesn't scoff at how hubby screwed up the wiring on a DIY binge. Expert electrician, reasonably priced, quick response. He stuck his hand up in the ceiling and a rat ran across his hand, and yet he came back after we got rid of the rat and finished the job. Highly recommend.

I needed to install a NEMA 14-50 receptacle for my Juicebox 40 EVSE. I requested a quote from a number of different electricians and ultimately decided to hire Robert because he was 1) willing to come in-person to provide a free estimated quote, 2) very communicative, transparent, honest, nice, and 3) very reasonably priced. He was on time as scheduled per the appointment and I am very pleased with the outcome and quality of his work. He did an excellent job of routing the conduit in a very clean fashion and met all of my requirements for the job. I will definitely be hiring Robert for all my other electrical work and highly recommend to anybody else looking for an electrician.

Antonio came and installed my wired ring camera. Very professional, clean and reliable. Always kept in contact with me via text text  to confirm our appointment. I would highly recommend him and will be using him again soon.

Peralta Electric provided excellent service and completed my my job quickly and timely. My bathroom light was falling out of the wall and the j-box needed to be replaced. They were able to take care of this quick and easy. Thanks.!

Dan did an awesome work installing a Tesla 2-charger setup with sharing. Due to some travel restriction issues, I couldn't get ahold of my second charger so Dan was accommodating enough to lend me one of his own. The setup came out super clean and looks great in the garage. All the work was done on time and for a fair and reasonable price. Will definitely contact again for any electrical work.

The name says it all.
Marvic was cordial and professional, found the problem quickly.
Thank you,

Hancock and his crew gave me a fantastic deal, were on-time and efficient! I plan to use Den Electric for any future lighting projects!

We recently had Southwest make extensive upgrades to our new home, including a 200 amp upgrade to our panel. They showed up on time, offered excellent observations/insights/ideas (also bringing up things that I'm really glad they pointed out, without being pushy at all), and were meticulous about their work. Steve, Mike and John are a company of three (I think), so you always know who you're dealing with, and they could not be nicer or more professional. I have complete peace of mind in the high quality of the work, and also the knowledge that if I ever did have a problem I could call and it would be taken care of promptly.

If you want responsiveness, reliability, excellent work, reasonable prices and really nice guys you'll enjoy having in your home, Southwest Electric is as good as it gets.

We had a major problem with our water softener tank, and Marcos Escobar, a Bellows Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical representative, came to our home in Santa Cruz County to help fix it.  Not only was he punctual, he was polite and very knowledgeable with our unit and our problem. He also called with a follow-up the following day with further information as promised. I highly recommend this professional company who is also organized with retuning telephone calls or emails.

I contacted Jason for several electrical issues and he called me one morning and said he could come over in about 15 minutes. He came over with several guys and a few of my jobs turned out to be a bit more complicated and it became clear to me that because Jason squeezed me in, he didn't really have enough time to take care of all of my projects, in spite of the fact that I had not indicated that my issues were immediate. He left having handled only 2 issues, but left 2 other issues, half finished. It was clear that they were having trouble figuring out how to fix them, and that they needed to be somewhere else and couldn't give those projects the time they needed.  He told me he would come back, but then I didn't hear back from him. I was really disappointed, because he has good reviews, and maybe had he scheduled me with a regular time slot instead of squeezing me in, I would have gotten full service and he would have had all of my projects completed.

Alex and Alfredo did a great job installing the electric set-up for our new hot tub.  They handle everything and get the hot tub filled and ready to go. On multiple dates they showed up on time, wore masks and were nice to work with.

Let me start off by saying that it didn't exactly start off on a positive note, as they were over an hour late showing up for the initial issue for which I called them. All the lights and plugs in one room suddenly stopped working. This was the 2nd time this happened in a couple months. The first time, we had a different electrician come out and he never found the issue but the lights suddenly began to work again while he was fiddling around in the subpanel, so he scratched his head, said he wasn't sure what it was, collected his $165 for a 20min service call, then left.

Then when it happened again, we called Five or Free and were told that they would be here between such and such time the next day. Long story short, they were over an hour late and I was quite frustrated, but they apologized sincerely and profusely and wanted to have a chance at fixing the problem, w/ no charge due to their tardiness. They figured out the issue within less than an hour (it was a loose connection in the home run outlet that was affecting the rest of the circuit). The first guy that came out a couple months prior didn't even check for this issue, though it's apparently a common reason for the problem we were having.  During the entire troubleshooting process, Gilbert and Alexis, the owners of the company, explained everything they were doing and why they were doing it.  I was impressed at their enthusiasm for their work and their willingness to educate the homeowner.  True to their promise, they didn't charge for fixing the problem.

This brings me to the second part of my electrical saga.  I had been planning on replacing the electrical subpanel with a modern subpanel with AFCI breakers to decrease the risk of fire.  It's an old house built in 1969 and had the old style breakers which don't protect against arcing due to faulty or loose connections, a common reason for house fires, apparently.  I decided to have Five or Free do the job since they seemed really honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable.  I was a bit surprised at how much they quoted me since it was quite a bit more than another quote I had gotten.  But Gilbert explained that they guarantee service on their work for 17yrs & materials for 7yrs, that they would eat the cost if we are not completely satisfied, they guarantee there would be no additional costs for unanticipated issues, their overhead is more than a solo operation due to their fair pay and benefits to their employees, etc.  I was satisfied with their explanation for the higher cost and given their promise to do the job to my satisfaction, I decided to go with them. We scheduled them to come out the next week. They showed up on time and even called ahead to let me know when they'd arrive.  They started on the project at 9am. They thought it would take till around 5-6pm, but being an old house with some funky wiring, it took a lot longer than anticipated. They were there till ~10pm and at one point there were 4 guys working on it, including the 2 owners. They supplied power to our fridge by running a wire from the main.  After they finished installing the new subpanel with new AFCI breakers, we seemed to be back in business with power to the house again, but one of the new breakers kept tripping every time we turned it on, so it was apparent the new breakers were doing their job and detecting something weird in the wiring somewhere. It was very late by this point, so they decided to come back the next day to troubleshoot the issue with that circuit and placed a temporary non-AFCI breaker there so we'd have power.

Well, the problem wasn't so simple because the wiring in the house was not straightforward. They ended up coming out 4 or 5 more times and spending several hours each time to finally figure out the source of the problem, which was found to be coming from 1 outlet in which there were shared neutral wires from 2 circuits. Apparently, the new AFCI breakers are so sensitive, they will detect & be tripped by any number of different wiring issues in the house, hence the reduced risk of electrical fires. I'm still not sure whether the shared neutrals was even a fire danger, but I was happy that the guys were very persistent and determined, and finally solved the mystery of the tripping AFCI.  I doubt that too many other electricians would have spent so much extra time and effort to solve the issue without charging extra. Gilbert and Alexis lived up to their promise to complete the work to my satisfaction.  During the entire process, they were patient, pleasant & courteous, explained clearly what the potential issues were and how they were going about trying to find the problem.  In the end, I felt like I got a crash course on residential electrical systems and now I feel much more confident doing some simple electrical work myself, such as changing out outlets and switches.  I wouldn't hesitate to call these guys again in the future for other electrical work.  Highly recommended! And nice guys, too.

Brian's is first rate. He is extremely professional, reliable and knowledgeable. We are very pleased with all his recommendations and his great work.

Rob helped us with a wonky light fixture and plug.  He was friendly, helpful, thorough- made sure to explain the why and how. Helped me figure out if we should replace an exhaust fan, what it would take to install a new one, and talking me out of a higher-priced option. Highly recommend him!

Wow- finally a dependable (and available) electrician!!  

I was referred to LAM- we had a great experience with owner and crew.  There were several electrical fixes around the house that weren't substantial enough to get interest from other electricians.  Called LAM, got owner to come out next day and start work following day.

Crew cleaned up after themselves and got done after two visits with positive results- everything works great and price was extremely reasonable!  I've already referred Mr. Binh to several folks- I will definitely use him again!

Amazing work done by clever electric. Neat and attention to detail. Crew members are friendly and listen to customers for before installing lights. We got installed the 16 recess lights and 2 pendants in 8 hours. I highly recommend clever electric. Superb work!

Francisco sent his crew back to retest the system, found out that the micro inverters were the issue. Since they are still under warranty  the manufacturer will replace all 24 micro inverters for me. It will take 2-4 weeks for them to ship. But for now I have 3 new inverters working that Francisco was kind enough to let me use it while waiting for the replacement.

I had high hopes for Arkadiy based on the reviews here, but was unfortunately not so lucky.

After coming by to estimate the job we scheduled a date two weeks out. A couple hours before our scheduled time I messaged Arkadiy to confirm. He said he might be an hour late. No further word, but he showed up five hours late and said it was too late and we'd need to reschedule. I asked for the following day, but he said we had to book out a week.

Today I messaged him again two hours before planned arrival. He responded he couldn't make it today. I asked if we could do tomorrow as we have guests in town next week. He replied that tomorrow would not work and he had availability next week (exactly when I said we couldn't do the work).

So, my experience is one of poor communication and missed appointments. I hope you have better luck.
