Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

We come home from vacation to find that the power in our living room is out. My husband calls one business and they cannot come out until late in the week, so off to Yelp I go! I find all the great reviews on Greg's Electric and decide to give it a shot. I call Greg and he offers to come out asap. Greg arrives shortly and gets to work immediately. After some troubleshooting he finds an outdoor outlet that had shorted and caught fire while we were gone. He was able to get everything fixed so we not only have power back on in our living room, but also outside as well (which we haven't had since buying the house).

We already have some future work planned-- which, of course, we will be calling Greg for. He is personable (and educational!), quick, and does great work. The best part is that you don't feel taken advantage of after everything is said and done.

If you live in the area I suggest calling Greg for any of your electrical needs!

Rostislav and Vlad helped me with hanging a overhead garage storage rack.  They were both very friendly and professional.  It you are looking for a hardworking team you can count on them.  In fact, I will hire them for future projects.

Had Mark over to troubleshoot a circuit in my kitchen. He quickly diagnosed and repaired the issue. Also had him add a protected outlet in the garage for an opener.

Mark provides Fast, honest, and fairly priced services.

Jesse installed 6 LED canned lights, and 4 bathroom exhaust fan/light fixtures (also LED) this visit. This was the second job he has done in our house in recent months, and we called him back because he did such a great job the first time, taking down 2 uselessly placed bedroom ceiling fans and replacing it with one properly sized and placed fan which we love.

Jesse is great to work with and talked us through everything from figuring out what we actually needed to the work itself including all setup and clean up.

We are extremely happy with everything we bought and our living space is greatly enhanced. We do not make home modificaitons very often or very impulsively whatsoever, so we were unsure in each case of exactly what we needed and how to aquire it cost effectively.

Jesse was able to advise, suggest where we needed input, and work with all of our questions and concerns. We spent our money wisely and have enhancements to our lighting and cooling that will benefit our home for years to come.

Jesse did work with a helper for this visit, Robert. Robert was most polite, cordial and efficient. Likewise a sheet rock gentleman was also needed (same person, Juan, both times). He came in at the end and make quick work of his job. He not only did the work quickly and efficiently but thoroughly cleaned up afterwards, and also was quite pleasant to have around.

We look forward to working with Jesse and his associates in the future as the need arises and would recommend him most highly.

Very responsive, reliable, courteous, affordable and professional! They definitely know what they are doing. Had 3 pendant lamps replaced, 2 new ones installed, and fixed a broken socket. Very happy with our beautiful new lights. There's nothing these guys can't fix!

Brian was able to fix my light switch problem in less than an hour, and charged less than other electricians. I texted him a picture of the light switch, and he came to my house at the appointed time, new light switch in hand. He noticed that the color was a bit off so he went to the nearest hardware store to find a dimmer switch that would match better. He returned promptly and fixed my switch, all at a reasonable rate. I would recommend him.

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.

Al Smith's guys are amazing needed to switch out some light fixtures in my house showed up next day
Very professional and polite.They did a awesome job and at a great price. I would recommend them to all my friends and family
Thanks Al

Natalie is efficient, professional, very easy to work with, and did a great job. I look forward to hiring her again!

Tyler came out to my home and installed 2 ceiling fans and replaced a broken porch light. He was on-time, speedy and very informative about what he was doing. Cost for his services were super reasonable. Highly recommended if you're looking for a qualified electrician to get the job done!!

Wanted to thank your service technician Garret! I had the pleasure of meeting him today, he is extremely courteous, knowledgeable and extremely helpful in our choice for filters etc...
A great job once again and I really appreciate your team's spirit.
We chose your company and it has been well worth it!
This is not a fly by night place, they stand behind their products and services 100%.
Thank you all! Bravo

I asked Orbis Electrical Works for help with adding an outlet to my toilet wall for a new Toto washlet toilet seat. They came to my house for a free estimation on time and answered my questions very patiently. A few days later, they came to complete the project promptly. I'm happy to have them help with my project, and will definitely hire them again when needed in the future.

When you use this company, make sure to ask for Paul Kelly. He's a skilled electrician with a wonderful nature. He explained things in a way I could understand, I know nothing about electricity, and he fixed things well in a decent amount of time. He was also very kind to my dogs, would have to be underfoot!
We were given an estimate to bring our electricity setup into the 21st century (not even kidding, we have twist-in instead of flip boxes!) and we will be asking for this gentleman to do the work.
If you happen to read this, Paul, thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to make a piece child-safe for my middle schoolers to take apart when school starts next month.

I had Ryan for doing some dry wall repair. He communicated promptly, offered a reasonable quote after reviewing some photos I sent over and fixed the dry wall holes with great attention to detail.

I spoke with Katrina about an electrical problem I was having at my condo.  She was extremely knowledgeable and didn't charge an arm and a leg to fix it.  I will never use another electrician in the Sana Cruz area.  The place really IS as good as it gets!  GIve them a call.

Wilson was prompt, knowledgeable and did good work. He gave a competitive bid to install an EV charge Point hard wired into box. Really nice guy. I'll definitely hire him again.

This is now the 4th time i have used Sam aka Alpha General Electric.  He is so concientious and diligent with his work. He is extremely versatile in his skills and being able to handle unusual installations and repairs. Here are some of the unusual projects we have done....
- Security camera installation.(Two different locations)
- Solar power inverter replacement
- Swimming pool controllers
- Insteon brand controller installtion.

The guy is not afraid to take on any electrical project and do a top notch job of it.
Sam and Alpha General Electric is my professional electrical installer!!

Keep up the great work guy!

I have much personal experience with Cross Electrical. Their honesty and quality can't be beat. Do yourself a favor and give them a try-you won't be sorry!

He came out same day and replaced a smoke alarm that had been beeping all night. Very nice and did a great job.

Do not do business with this cat he is a fraud. This cat hasn't paid me and my father, both electricians, for almost a year now. He owes us 3 pay checks. We're not the only electricians he hasn't paid, there are at least 2 more electricians that he hasn't paid and not just electricians receptionist that he's had as well. He uses them for a bit then doesn't pay them so they leave. He uses us to do the hard labor and then when I comes to pay day he makes excuses that next week I'll have your money, next, next, and never happened. A year and still haven't gotten paid or heard from this bitch. I recommend everyone report this fraud and don't even think of doing business with this dirt bag. He's a greedy bastard that loves ripping people off.
