Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

Ben is great!  I scheduled an estimate, and during the estimate, he helped me solve two outstanding questions on the spot even though he was just there for a free estimate: He figured out that I had a light switch in the garage hidden behind the fridge that controlled the garage light I had been trying to figure out how to control.  He also figured out that one of the switches I wanted to replace had Romex wire with a neutral wire, and the other was knob and tube without a neutral wire.  This enabled me to replace one of the switches with a wifi switch myself thus saving me money.  

Now keep in mind all this is without charging one cent.  That's the kind of guy that Ben is - he is happy to help and impart quick knowledge, even though he would have been perfectly in his rights to include troubleshooting the garage light and identifying the wiring in the switches in his estimate rather than helping me without charging me.  

On top of that, his estimate came in lower than other estimates I got, and he was able to complete the job by himself in five hours.  He installed a new fan box and ceiling fan, replaced two switches and made them wifi, removed an old bathroom exhaust fan and installed a new bathroom exhaust fan, installed a new outlet in the attic and drilled holes to run charger cables out to security cameras that I had pre-mounted, ran the cables, connected the cameras, and caulked up the holes afterwards.  He also inspected the attic electrical and closed up 4 open junction boxes.  Two other companies I had gotten estimates from wanted to charge me for two guys over two days to get this work done.  

So basically Ben is friendly, generous with his time and knowledge, and really affordable.   He is super experienced, skilled, and fast - those go together I think.  Can't recommend him highly enough.

The technician Yovani is very responsive and the communication is straightforward. He arrived job on time, quickly understood the issue and started working on it right away. He is very knowledgeable and skilled. He was able to get the work done quickly with high quality. I would definitely use his service again if I have any electrical problems.

We have dealt with many contractors over the years, and had gotten accustomed to delays and broken promises. What a refreshing change it was to work with Vinh. He completed everything a day earlier than projected. He kept us updated on his progress and any issues he ran into. The most amazing thing was he contacted us after the job was done and he had already been paid, to make sure we were still happy with his work. I was amazed at his professionalism. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Vinh and his crew again and have already recommended him to friends.

Called today at 10:35 AM to setup an appointment, to get an estimate, for a gererator installation. Was told he had to move to a quieter location and would return my call in 5 minutes. Never returned my call.

Dan and his team just installed the 240V circuit and a Tesla wall charger over the weekend for me. Dan is super friendly and very knowledgeable. The job was done quickly and properly. I am very happy with the work done.

I've used Brian on upgrading my electrical to 220, replacing an electric panel, installing GFI's, upgrading bathroom electrical with motion sensors, and installing a new baseboard heater.  He is easy to work work, reasonably priced, and always does what he says.  I highly recommend BW Electric.

Finding an electrician or a specialist for networking gear can be challenging.  Luckily for me, I was able to connect with Felipe from Almighty Electric, Inc.  From our first conversation, I knew I was dealing with someone that was honest, fair, and very professional.

My project entailed installing indoor access points, and one outdoors.  Cutting into sheetrock, running CAT6 cable in-wall, and in my attic is no easy feat.  I knew that selecting the right company/installer would be critical to not only my wireless network but also the overall aesthetics of my home.

After discussing all the logistics of the installation with Felipe, he provided me with a very competitive quote as well as a detailed list of the materials needed.  We agreed on a date and time to kick things off, and the rest is history!  Felipe and his crew arrived on time, executed their plan, and got my network up and running.  They work efficiently and very meticulously.  They covered all of their work areas to make sure my floors were protected at all times.  If you are looking for an honest electrician that does great work, give AEI a call.

Jay is very professional and his rates are reasonable.  Came to my house to install a car charger and some recessed lighting.  The work was done quickly and he explained everything he was doing, including correcting some lighting that we discovered was not up to code.  Would definitely use his services again.

There are plenty of other electricians/companies out there and I'd suggest going with someone else.  The tech quoted me $4700.00 for a generator transfer switch and said it was originally 7k. What a joke. I think they forget that we have the ability to get quotes from other vendors and customers can and do their homework prior to securing a vendor.  The tech had to call another technician that specializes in generator transfer switches.  Why would the company send a tech out that didn't know what to do in the first place. FYI: all the other electricians quoted 1K to $1500. Go elsewhere.

Boris is, without a doubt, the most intelligent, efficient, and kind electrician I have come across. As a new business owner, I've had a variety of emergency electrical projects arise, and Boris never ceases to amaze me with his ability to tackle any problem.

Trustworthy professional, with a great sense of humor to boot. I strongly recommend Boris to anyone looking for a helping hand.

We recently had some electric work done in our kitchen and bedrooms. Sonny did a great job and on time. He is totally trustworthy and quoted a reasonable price as well.
We are very happy with his work and will call him again for any electric issues.

My wife and I had bought these pendant lights months ago and we just never got around to having them installed - for no good reason. However, the new year was here, and we thought enough was enough. We started calling local electricians, several of whom, I might add, neither picked up the phone nor returned our calls and voice messages.

Then, we got on everyone's favorite merchant quote platform - Yelp! - and started requesting quotes from nearby. Gustavo was one of the first to respond. He said he could come by that very afternoon, if we wanted, to give us an estimate.

He arrived on time (even a bit earlier) and surveyed out everything he needed to see. He then put out the quote, which my wife and I first thought was a bit extreme (we really don't know much about electrical/wiring jobs), but upon some quick research, we realized was more than reasonable. As a bonus, Gustavo told us he could install the lights right then and there, if we wanted.

Well, what the heck, we had waited for almost half a year already and seeing those pretty lights up there could not have come soon enough. So we told Gustavo to have at it. In a couple of hours, the lights were up, the messes were cleaned and Gustavo was ready to go.

I am extremely happy with Gustavo's professionalism and the quality of his work. But as a part-time self-employed person myself, I am delighted that he was responsive on mobile, unlike several others, beat the competition to not only offer the best pricing, but also got the job done in a heartbeat.

Thank you, Gustavo, and well done!

Khalif was super responsive and fixed everything within a day of needing him. Super quick and easy to work with. We ended up going a couple more hundred dollars more than what was quoted, but ran into some unexpected issues when it came to configuring the lights. Recommend Khalif going forward.

Reza, the owner and CEO of the company is so professional in terms of estimating, communicating, problem solving, customer service, etc
All technicians are highly skilled and helpful, Working with LHWire has been a great experience and we hope to continue our business in our future projects.

I needed to get 12 new recessed lights in my basement bedroom. I texted Bart and he came the same day for an estimate. His prices  were fair  and unlike some other companies that use slim lights , Bart uses the better quality Halo recessed lights. Once I signed the contract, he was able to fit me in the following day. His  crew came on time, all the lights were installed in 4 hours and they cleaned up after themselves. Great family owned company that I wouldn't hesitate to use again!

Dan came through for us for a simple GFCI outlet problem in our bathroom. I screwed it up and he fixed it. Straightforward and quick.
