Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

Haven't written a review for a while, but had a great experience!  Was able to get a quick appointment thanks to Lucas and Josh coordinating the project.  The person that came and installed a Tesla Charger, installed a ceiling fan, fixed a wiring issue we had for our patio lights, and fixed a gfci outlet issue we had was Junior!  He was very professional and chill, and was great to work with.  Also got a followup call with John who answered my question about the amperage of the breaker being installed.  

All in all a great experience, and I look forward to giving them a call for when I have more electrical work I need done!

I would hire Randy again in a heartbeat.  As others have said, it is rare to find someone that is both honest and has reasonable rates.  He's a really nice guy and easy to talk to.  It's also apparent that he cares about his work and attention to detail.

He installed an electric vehicle charger in my garage.  It actually would have been a fairly difficult job because my sub-panel is located upstairs.  Fortunately, he found a creative solution that saved me a lot of money and time.  Thanks Randy for the good work.

I had an amazing experience with Robert installing my Tesla Wall connector.

-Quick to respond to my initial inquiry.
-Made a house vist to quote the job.
-Took time to discuss other needs.
-Worked with me as I went through the permit process.
-Completed the work quickly as described.
-No problems with the inspection.

I'd highly reccommend Electric Chen.

Antonio is knowledgeable and patient in explaining how things work and how he plans to fix them. He is also honest.

Juan happened to be available on short notice (next day) and was able to diagnose and fix the problem with one of our circuit breakers. Turns out it wasn't a major problem, and the other circuits were fine.

He made the adjustments, fixed it, replaced the faulty outlet that causes the problem, checked all the other outlets/switches, and tightened all the connections in our box before finishing up.

I also appreciated that he didn't try to up-sell me on new equipment and services that I didn't need or ask for. Sure it doesn't hurt to upgrade, but he knew that's not what I asked for or needed. He gave me some tips and let me know to call him for any future needs. Solid work all-around.

Dan is awesome. He was super responsive over email to get a time and quote over to me. He also called the day before to confirm details. Dan was super professional and friendly when he arrived. As someone who understands the importance of customer service, really appreciate when I get great service. I don't really write Yelp reviews but this was worth the time. He wasn't trying to upsell or awkward small talk - he was in and out and offered great suggestions. We are so happy with our mounted TV. Thanks Dan!

Great customer service and communication. They made the solar process very easy. Just got our solar installed and very happy with the professionalism of this company.

Came on time. Did the job properly. Happy with the results. Would recommend them.

Wanted an exhaust fan installed in the garage. Hancock and Albert talked me through the process. Spent the time carefully measuring and cutting the right space. Sealed the holes after and cleaned up.

***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 ordered 3 mini splits for our home and were suppose to be basiclly plug and go.
After spending several hours with the manufactures service technicians and absolutemy unknowledgeabl, i decided to call Bellows.
They sent me Two technicians and were able to find the problem.
Mike and Jeff were very professional and got the job done in a highly efficiant time.
And as for thier cost, i can tell you they are very reasonable in thier fees.
They will be my go to ser ice company if ever needed! That said i would higly recommend you call for your needs.
Thanks again Bellows!!!

I shopped five different electricians and I am so happy I hired Jason and his team. In one hour they happily took down three chandeliers and replaced with two vintage ones. They are cheerful, have a can do attitude, and fast working. Thank you Jason

wow... i was in a bind and jmc fit me in and got the job done.  seriously... not only did they get it done.  but they got it done right.  and nice electricians at that!

Alex arrived to the house on time, even though I mistakenly gave the wrong address (my bad!), and he was very professional, and upon my interaction with him, very courteous. He assessed what needed to be done and verified the outlets that needed to be upgraded at this time. The 2-3 days later, Tim came to the house and verified the outlets that he'll need to upgrade, all 6 of them. Tim methodically replaced all outlets, and we reminisced growing up in the Bay Area. Throughout the project, Tim mainly focused on the job. I knew then that I realized I have found my new go-to electricians. Five or Free has been great from my initial contact with them for a quote to the completion of the job. I highly recommend them!

After receiving a few estimates, we decided to proceed with Brian. He was so patient with us for being first time home buyers. We had tons of questions and wasn't sure how to proceed, what was best and how to go about things. He explained everything to us and even made suggestions when he thought things weren't necessary. We had LED recess lighting put in, grounded and added outlets, added tv and internet cables, and put in a complete new electric panel and tubing.

He got back to us right away and finished when he said he was going to. He also wasn't upset when we kept on adding things to our list. His prices was a lot cheaper than the other people we looked into and he allowed us to use coupons for additional discounts.

The only minor complaint was aesthetics. He definitely knows about electricity, however he is not as precise with the holes he made for the recess lighting and switches. Some of them were bigger than the actual switch box and lighting where we had to do patch work.

We really did enjoy working with him, not only was he friendly, he was extremely professional and you can tell he knew what he was doing. I have and will continue to recommend him to my friends and family. We will definitely be contacting him again when we proceed with the recess lighting in our family room.

We contacted Odom Electric based on the Yelp reviews, and they were absolutely right. Now we're recommending this company, so that anyone looking for a great electrician knows where to find one!

Rob has done three projects at our house so far - installed dimmer switches throughout the house, ran the surround sound wiring through the wall & attic and mounted the rear speakers to the ceiling, and installed a new outlet in the bathroom. He was always on time, professional, knowledgeable, efficient and he was very pleasant to work with.

We have several future projects and will definitely be calling him back!

I called Lam on a Saturday morning to help with my kitchen light dimmer which stopped working. He was over in a few hours to fix it, finished the job very quickly and didn't over-charge me for what ended up being a small job.

I needed to change the outlet of my condo from 110 to 220 and they did a good job. I will definitely recommend Clever Electric.

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.

Arkadiy was personable and knowledgeable. He was able to repair my ethernet connection over CAT5 to a accessory building. Everything went well. He provided an estimate and beat it.  Hire him with confidence. Highly recommended for your ethernet cabling needs.

I am a hard grader so 5 stars is saved for reviews of those with who m I have done multiple yelp reviews.
