Greg's Electrical Is Outstanding
Today, Greg and another electrician Put in  a Schneider Homeline Square D Electrical Panel. Breakers and Surge protector. They did an excellent professional  job. Greg's Electrical Co. is the best I have ever found. I highly recommend them.

We hired anytime handyman for installing our 8'x12' storage room and our 14'x12' gazebo in our backyard. They did a really good job on installing these 2 as these 2 items are not only very heavy but also come with complicated installation guide. They finished the installation by 2 days and we checked the two things, all finished with great quality and they also installed some hangers and bars inside the storage room, with very good details. We are very impressed by their work, and will definitely hire again in the future. Highly recommend them! (Check the photos to see how good the installation are:))

I found Mark on Yelp and called him to install recessed lighting and ceiling fans in two bedrooms.  Dealing with Mark was a pure pleasure, he returned my enquiry promptly, and was able to quote me over the phone.  He was punctual, professional, cleaned up after himself and did a GREAT job.  His pricing was better than others I called from Yelp and I will not hesitate to call him again.  His work was first class and I have now found my go to electrician.  Do yourself a favor and call Mark first!

Had my EV charger go out and wanted to make a change anyways and install the new one outside. Not only was Jesse able to do the job the very next day, he replaced the garage unit with an outlet (ready for the Tesla) and also hardwired the new one outside. All for an unbelievably fair price. Loving having the ability to charge two cars now.

Ivan did a great job helping us with our lights.

He was communicative, punctual, and professional. He came with shoe covers and cleaned up after the job. He also made sure we're happy with the results prior to leaving.

Overall we would highly recommend him to our family and friends.

I've been meaning to write a review based on my recent experience when Brian. He came to my house to inspect some potential suspect electrical after we had two new appliances malfunction. He was prompt, very thorough, honest and incredibly personable. The personable part isn't as important as other attributes, but it's nice to find an electrician who is knowledgeable, experienced and nice :)

After about 15 minutes of inspecting our service panel and PG&E connections, he was fairly certain that the problem was on the power company's end and not because of our in home electric. He was right, but insisted upon inspecting our inside panel and the connections behind the dryer. All this was done in less than one billable hour. He even made the call to PGE to get some to our house asap. If you want someone who does their due diligence, knows what they are doing, is honest, AND is nice, call Archbold Electric!

Seems I am the first one writing reviews for Mega Power.  They actually had more reviews for the LA branch.  I read those reviews and I can tell that Gary really cares about his reputation.

OK, my story.  I was thinking of installing solar in early 2022, after learning NEM 3.0 in California would be delayed indefinitely.  I started my journey with energysage.com, and got quotes from 6 local installers, including Mega Power Electric Inc.  I've also reached out to SunPower, and left my contact at Sunrun in Costco.  I finally decided to work with Mega Power for these reasons: 1. many positive reviews; 2. their price is very competitive; 3. I work directly with the owner German (Gary), who actually does the job.  No sales; no project managers.  While those sales people are nice and professional, the process is just as as efficient as talking directly with Gary.  Mega Power does everything very fast.  Gary came to our house and took some pictures; went back and shared his initial plan; we wanted two additional panels; Gary revised the plan (within 24 hours).  One or two weeks later, Gary and his people were on my roof.  Installation of 24 panels was done within one day.  City inspector initially had questions about the ground wire.  Gary and his team came back another time, and finished #4 ground wire upgrade within a couple of hours.  Passed city inspection.  Getting approvals from PG&E (final step) was a long story.  Gary and Mega Power did whatever they could to help and I appreciate that.  Overall experience with Mega Power was quite positive.  Definitely recommend Mega Power for their efficiency, work quality, and communication.  Additional data points I would like to share: while Gary and his team worked on installation, I was busy filing complaints with another company for their no show activity in the very first scheduled meeting. Oh, my wife and I already recommended Mega Power to another lady.  I probably should collect some referral fee from Gary.

Thank you for patiently explaining the electrical problem in a way that made it understandable. Thank you for coming on such short notice. Thank you for not charging me an arm & a leg for great service. I would recommend Al Smith Electric in a heartbeat!

I requested a comprehensive quote, parts and work, for a given task. I received a paper saying : the job will be done for X dollars. It was not the cheapest quote, but it was the only quote that was not trying to leave room for charging me extra afterewards. I called to schedule, everything was done on time and professionally, and I wrote a check for the exact amount as agreed. This is the kind of contractor that is hard to find in the Bay area. Ms. Valencia did an extremely good job.

Tyler is easy to work with. Had a ceiling fan installed without pre existing wiring and had a GFCI outdoor outlet replaced. Quality work don't hesitate to use.

During a heatwave, our AC wouldn't turn off. Service Champions was able to squeeze us in, with an arrival time of 5pm- 10pm. That was fine with us, as we needed the unit to turn off!  On his last stop, on his way home, Cash came to the rescue! We received a text that he was on his way, and we were able to follow him, along the 580 coming from Castro Valley to Livermore. Cash asked great questions and he was able to figure out what the problem was. He had the part on his truck and was able to change it in no time. He even went into the attic to check out our furnace and make sure it was running well.  He totally knocked our socks off. He was polite, professional and took time to talk to our neighbor who came over after noticing the Service Champions truck parked outside. I would not hesitate to call Service Champions again and ask for Cash to come back; if needed!  It was a long hot day, but Cash was helpful and didn't mind fixing the problem for us.

Ivo responded to my quote request and immediately came out the following day. His work is great and at a fraction of the price of all the other electricians. I will be definitely be using Ivo for all of my home electrical needs from now on.

I've used Divine Electric over a dozen times in the last two years and they've always delivered fair prices, efficient service and most importantly, truly care about their customer.

My most recent experience was with their new plumbing division and though there were some issues early on as there tends to be during construction, they've always come through and made it right.

Big props to Alex and Victor, thank you!

Ryan replaced 2 toilets in my house. He did great work. He was on time and his work was very clean. Thank you Ryan

They were communicative, accommodating and professional. At a time when it's hard to get a tradesman because everyone is so busy they were able to find time and do a quality job. Their electrician. Patrick was extremely personable and helpful.

They did a great job for me and were very easy to work with.
Thanks for your services!

I really put Sam and his helpers through their paces in the past month: a serious underground conduit repair, establishing a new appliance circuit, adding a 220v outlet to a workshop, and finally, a subtle and difficult maneuver involving connecting a built-in appliance to a box that was just a few inches in the wrong place, inside a tight-as-a-drum installation space. While working in the main panel he proclaimed the work space too dark (which it was), so he threw in a utility light while he was in there. I'm completely satisfied with the work, the prices, and Sam's optimistic, can-do spirit.

The most difficult job, finding and fixing an underground electrical line that traveled partly under the driveway, partly right through the roots of a tree (the line having arced, melted and burned while underground!), was fixed durably and beautifully. Another electrician had refused to even attempt it, saying we should bypass the underground line and just string an ugly overhead line to the workshop. Not Sam: he had it diagnosed, found, dug up and repaired before the day was out.

A neighbor referred Alpha General Electric to me, saying Sam maintained a number of her rental properties. Which said to me that he's seen it all, and become resourceful at finding problems and fixing them quickly and on a budget. I was not disappointed.

These guys are very honest and professional.

I called them because a few electrical sockets in my house stopped working all of a sudden last week. The person on the phone. (Cathy was her name I think), asked me about the problem. She said she will help me trouble shoot - asked me to reset my GFI switch, then walked me through the tripped circuit breaker. Then told me the most likely cause could have been a space heater (and indeed it was a week ago, when I had plugged in a space heater in the garage).

The best part is that she said the charge would be zero. This was honest. She could have send some one over, and charged me just for showing up. That told me they are an honest business. I decided I had to pay back in some kind, and asked her if they would do some minor repair work. She said yes, they can charge hourly and fix it. The hourly charges quoted were reasonable. So I asked for that service.

Doug showed up on the time promised. Was very courteous and professional. I had a couple sockets that were stock, one bulb that was fused in place, and I wanted to get a couple sockets replaced with modern motion detection. I also wanted to get a couple smoke detector/Carbon monoxide alarms done. It was fast and painless. I had spare parts that I had purchased from Home Depot. But I forgot the face plates for a couple switches. He was nice enough to bring it from his own truck supply (and did not charge me for it).

These guys are very honest and professional. I highly recommend them.

Btw, I have never written a yelp review in the past, but their honest behavior is what compelled me to setup this new account and write this review.  Hope you find it useful.

Amazing service! Professional, Prompt & Punctual service. Excellent communication. Highly recommend.

This company is the worst and have scammed me out of $700 to repair my generator. They came out to my house, performed a tune-up of my generator but could not explain why the generator still would not power on. They took my battery and said they needed order a part and would come back to install. Two weeks later they have not come back and had an excuse that the part was stolen from their PO Box. Jim never calls and always has an excuse. I did make Jim sign a paper to explain the work he said he performed for $700 and had him sign it. This will be key in small claims court. Steer clear of this business.
