Lucas the owner is incredibly responsive and personable - even managed to get back to me in under 5 minutes while shopping at Costco with his 3 young kids!  Had a crew out here right away to diagnose and fix our electrical issue. Also had some great advice for installing some heaters on our deck.  Highly recommend.

Randy is great! We lost power to all of our bathroom outlets and Randy came over, troubleshooted the problem, made multiple trips when required, explained everything that he was doing, and answered text messages quickly and outside of normal hours.

Can't say enough good things about his work!

Robert helped installed an EV charger for me lately. Despite it was a Friday afternoon, Robert professionally insisted to drop by and did a through review before he can commit a good install at an affordable price. In addition to the proven reliable install, he also gives kind advises based on his expertise about routing, future expansion etc. highly recommended and thanks again!

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.

Juan was awesome!  My lights were flickering Friday night and he fixed the issue and made improvements to my panel the next morning!

Arrived 30 mins early.  Listened and looked at the issues.  Explained everything to me so I can understand.

Everything was good for the fix

However I asked him for a quote on switching out the panel and was told he would send it when he gets home. Then I asked him again and was told tomorrow. Then he just disappeared. Busy I guess.

Based on my great experience, Dan really wants to help for the sake of helping, not just about making the buck. Good old-fashioned values.  Solved my problem without a service call! I had a problem wiring my new smart thermostat.  Couldn't get power on it, and spent a few hours online trying to troubleshoot, and with the manufacturer who said it was a problem beyond their thermostat so I should call a service technician.  I finally gave up and tried to reinstall the old thermostat, ...which then wouldn't work anymore.  Grrr.

I knew it all was likely just a simple wiring problem.  I was so reluctant to pay for a service call if it was just a $3 fuse or something beyond my scant knowledge. Finally I phoned a competitor (Sunny Appliance Repair) who offered a service call for $185, which might solve it.  As pricey as that sounds, they at least answered the phone and gave me a quote - others I called didn't respond. But I just couldn't stomach shelling out the cash and the hassle of missing work to meet someone at the house, for what was no doubt a 10 minute fix. Then I read Dan's reviews, and briefly outlined my dilemma through request for quote on Yelp's page to Dan and two other companies, Sunny and AIS.  The email went out around 5:45 pm.

I heard back from Dan right away via email.  BAM!  It was almost like a commercial, so fast.  And in no time, he was troubleshooting briefly - did I try this? What about that?  Guess what.  He solved it with just a few brief back-and-forth emails. I offered to send him $ even though he didn't ask. He saved me so much hassle.  And even if I did end up needing his help for a service call, I'm confident he'd be fast and fair.

I did hear back from the other two the next day, asking the usual what is your zip code? and no doubt preparing to quote a service call. So it's good they replied, but it would have been a frustrating service call no doubt.  

You know how, when you live in town for a long, long time, you have your trusted service people that you've known forever, and you call when you need help?  It's hard to find those people when you're new in town.  Found one!

Darrin presented a program for us to install solar panels and was in competition with two other companies.  His proposal was the most thorough as we had to have a pool solar system removed from the roof prior to installing the panes.  He was the only one who said he would take care of it.  Our panel box had to be moved and he was the only one who said that the stucco work could be done by his company.  The crew that did the work was professional and courteous, knew the inspectors that came to permit and sign off on the work and made everything go smoothly.  The job was cleaned every day.  They were well worth the price and incidentally were lower than the competition.  Great service at a great price.  We couldn't have asked for more.

We called Hancock to install a 220v outlet and our JuiceBox 40 amp EV charger.  He came out the same day (within an hour!) and quickly installed it at a reasonable price.  He was very friendly and explained everything to us.  Also very professional.  We highly recommend him for your electrical work.

I've had Steve and Mike of Southwest Electric work on my house multiple times, and they do really terrific work.

They can do a wide range of jobs, including simple home fixes to They are a locally-owned business, extremely personable, and very professional in their work. Steve (the owner) always comes out personally to check on the job, and they get things done promptly and correctly. As my house is a 1970's era house, it really helps to have somebody who knows all the particulars (oddities?) of how the wiring works in the neighborhood.

I've had SW Electric work on my pool equipment, my interior lighting, add a ceiling fan, add attic fans, etc -- their prices are always reasonable and they take care of me quickly.

We were pretty unsatisfied with this install. We booked a new HVAC through Costco but were pretty disappointed in the execution. It's been two months since the day they started, and we are still having them come fix things before we can get the inspection. We were without heat for days during a heat wave, because they didn't have parts they needed. (Why didn't they know what they needed before they started?) Then they needed more parts and we had to wait another month. They cut the wiring to our drip irrigation/landscaping and put it back together wrong, which we didn't figure out until half of our garden died from not getting watered. They put the metal pieces on our artificial turf while they were installing which burned parts of the grass which now looks awful. They've taken no responsibility for any of these errors, and claimed they couldn't have been responsible for the burned grass even though it wasn't there the day before the install and then it was. They put the thermostat in a new and very odd place without calling me at work to discuss it first (in between a picture frame and a door jam in a very visible area) and said they'd move it but of course it would damage the wall.. Ugh. Just overall very not slick, not responsive, not responsible for their screw-ups, and not competent.
I'm not sure why Costco uses them. :(

Jason and Issac were great.  We needed a panel upgrade and some minor repairs.  From initial contact and a same day estimate to the work being done was amazing.  Professional, respectful and responsive.  We can say enough about the service and will definitely use them again if services are needed.  If you need work done, no matter the size or scope, give Jason and Oak a call.

This is the exact company you want to use when you need a reliable, honest, and friendly electrician. I have used many, living in a 100 year old house, but when I purchased a hot tub, JMC Electric came out immediately and had me up and running the same day that my tub arrived. I can't begin to thank them enough for their prompt and reliable service. Will happily use JMC Electrical Services again!

Rarely to write a review on Yelp, but these guys are great! I called them for the estimation. My job is very small. Take out ceiling fans and replace the new lights. A lot of company does not even give me a quote because they think this is a small job. But, Five or Free they call me right away to schedule an estimation. On the day of the estimation, Sal, a technician will give me a quote. He got a flat tire and he calls me right away said he will come late. I am okay with that. But they should charge me for the estimation service fee. He waived for me because he shows late.
Today is the project day. Chris is my technician today. He shows up on time and does the thing perfect and fast! Both of guys even give me a free check out for other electricity in my house. I will recommend them to my friend and also if i need help they will be my first option.

Brian has come out to do a couple of electrical-related upgrades for us at our home in Redwood Shores. First job was to do remove some old track lighting and replace with several sets of canned lighting in the living room, sitting room, and master bedroom. We also upgraded some light switches and installed an extra outlet in the bathroom. Everything was completed on time and looks great. Brian also came out again to help us troubleshoot one of the smarthome switches we had installed. Another job had him installing an extra GFCI outlet in the garage for a elliptical. He managed to find a simpler and cheaper way to install install it, without running a surface conduit, for a much cleaner look.

We'd definitely recommend him for any electrical work you might have. He does tend to get busy so def plan ahead if you need him to come out. And def echo other comments saying that he was pleasant, professional, and affordable.

Rob Odom saved us!!! I work out of town and Rob responded for my wife regarding an issue we had with our solar and house power integration. He found the problem and fixed it before it turned into a serious fire hazard. He was able to fix it quickly and for a very reasonable amount. Highly recommend him!!! Thanks again Rob!!

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!

My and his crew are great.  I'm afraid with all these great reviews, he might get too busy, but I have o share.  He did a bunch of work at my house including a 200amp panel upgrade and 2 bathroom fan installs w/ timers.  He took care of all the inspections and everything passed with any issues.  

He arrives early and always cleans up a the end of the day.  I would hesitate to recommend Clever Electric to anyone.

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.

If you have a quick project start by calling Arkadiy. He was great. None of the other three (5 star) electricians I called even bothered to return my call. Arkadiy set and kept his appointment time well. He listened well to the description of the problem. Then found and fixed the wiring issue. He's knowledgeable, polite and efficient.
