Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

Dave came into our house and completely transformed our lighting.  He was extremely professional and was on on budget and on time.  Fantastic service with incredible results!  Thank you!

Asked Bob to come out to install a new outdoor light and outdoor outlet. It wasn't exactly straightforward, but his solution worked perfectly. Very responsive, high quality work. Strongly recommend.

Jose has been working with us for years, patiently. Slowly but surely we have been remodeling our house and every time he shows up, is efficient and cost effective. He does great work and we have always been so pleased with the end result. Very nice guy and everyone we have referred him to has been just as happy with his work and service. Can't say enough good things about him and his business.

Quick, professional service that was completed on-time and all permitted through the city of San Jose, Arash and team did a fantastic job.

The project for my home was to install a NEMA 14-50 eletrical outlet on the side of my home, in order to connect a ChargePoint electric car charger. The difficulty was also I was having solar installed by a different team, so I needed to a 150 AMP subpanel installed to allow the 50A ChargePoint to have adequate power. Arash and team did the following:

- Installed 150A subpanel, all wired to main panel to allow solar in future, on the side of our home
- Installed/mounted/wired ChargePoint Car Charger
- Installed/mounted/wired NEMA 14-50 outlet

All of this work Arash and team got permitted with the city of San Jose, so everything is on the level. There was one small miscommunication on my part (how I wanted the cable to exit from under my home) and Arash fixed it quickly and cleanly.  All of this larbor intensive work cost $3800, including materials and permitting. The entire time Arash and team was willing to  communicate over text, which was very helpful for someone working all the time! I was able to ask all the question I wanted to make myself comfortable with the process.

Highest recommendations from Arash and team.

Gustavo an his team did fabulous job in fixing some electrical things when we bought our new home. He came and gave us an estimate before starting the job. On the day of job, his team arrived on time...did all the work beyond our expectations. He is our go to person for any electrical job in future also.

I was extremely satisfied with the quality of work, the quality of materials used and the professionalism of this company.  I had been planning this upgrade for over a year since it was not an emergency.  I am an admitted OCD perfectionist, a DIYer that rarely hires anyone for home or auto repair, and I tend to micromanage everything - and Seth made me very happy.  I carefully researched the best electrician, starting with Angie's & Yelp and then refined it to a number of estimates and phone calls and then used all the information I learned from those interviews and conversations.  I was impressed that Seth appeared the most knowledgeable, and had the best ideas for the installation.  His price was also very reasonable - he was not the cheapest price but he was the best value.  I wanted whole house surge protection built in to the panel, and a panel allowing the possibility of adding a generator without needing a separate transfer switch box, etc.   He selected high quality materials including Square D QO breakers, box & surge protector.  I stayed home and watched the entire installation.  Everything went well and he had my power on by the end of the day.  His wiring work was very neat and tidy by my standards.  I was present the next day for the inspection and we passed.  The office manager, Terri, was also very helpful and responsive on the paperwork and setting up the appointments.  On a personal note I spent a day and half with Seth during the job and he is a very nice and personable guy too.  I would absolutely recommend Switched Electric as a top electrical contractor.

Brian is awesome!!!  Past work he's done for us included installing a wall heater, exhaust fan and new lighting in our bathroom; another job was redoing all of our kitchen lighting; additional work included adding outside lights.  All of these jobs included great suggestions from him, were done promptly and left us completely satisfied.  Having had great service from him and his workers in the past we recently called on him to do a rush job involving installation of an outdoor chair lift.  He was booked solid but made time for us on his way home from work!!  We feel very lucky to have found Brian and Alpine Mountain Electric.

I hired B&B Electric to install a dedicated outlet for my electric car and to install some lights around the home (porch light, lights in front of garage etc.). It was expensive but Rick (the owner and main electrician) talked about the quality of his work to justify the higher than average prices. Based on reviews here I decided to go for it. The work was done in a timely manner (this was about 6 months ago). I used LED lights that he recommended.. when I asked him for receipts at the end of the project, he laughed at me and said he didn't provide receipts for individual components (I told him this was insulting - the laughing part - and he apologized).

About two weeks later, I started having trouble with the porch light. I emailed him and he switched out the LED bulb and it seems to have fixed the issue. However, about three months ago the porch light stopped working and another exterior light (installed by B&B) started malfunctioning (goes on and off randomly). I emailed Rick and he was very slow to respond. We've exchanged emails since then - the last was over a month ago - but the end result is , its been 3 months and both these problems still exist. Excuses don't work in the real world.. he's said the he's very busy. Those who are considering him, keep this in mind.. he will be too busy to fix problems arising from his work - as is evidenced in my case.

I replaced the bulb on the porch light with a CFL and the bulb blew out in 3 days. So there's clearly something wrong with the installation performed by Rick.

Since I don't have receipts for the LED bulbs (these are very pricey), I cannot go and use the warranty to replace these. The electric car's charging outlet is also giving me intermittent problems now.

So overall, it seems like the work was not of good quality. I waited a while to post this review to give Rick enough time to fix the problems. I figure 3 months is long enough. I don't expect Rick to fix the issues now. He charged me quite a bit for this project and  I'm very disappointed with the results.

I can't speak highly enough of the owner Cole, who did a lot of electric work for me like fan installations, lights over bathroom vanities, install of wall TV. Cole was honest, concerned, great prices and very professional. Other electricians wanted to tear my walls up to get the job done but he went around that saving me $ for patching, and painting. He employs good electricians also.
Fast, reliable, good work, thanks to these guys for taking care of all my worries!

We needed a couple of repairs done. They changed two lights with LED conversion kits and found the cause of two rooms loss of power.

They were friendly, professional, and efficient. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Anthony showed up on a Sunday to trouble shoot and fixed my malfunction outlet.  He is very quick and get the job done.  He responds to my request quickly.  I will definitely hire him for other electrical repair.

Francisco was so responsive, from the initial call, he picked up the phone while he was onsite at another job. Most other companies would send you to voicemail or an answering service. You can get right through to him, rare to see now a days. He was able to come within the hour I called for the estimate, and provided the estimate timely. Estimate was fair, and we proceeded with the work. We were so happy with his work and how he was able to solve our issue with breakers popping. He was great with coordinating the work while I was away from the house too, so responsible. I highly recommend. Thank you Francisco!

Eric and his partner Jose installed some 30+ LED lights as well as a bunch of other LED/non-LED fixtures a month back spending almost the entire day and everything is working great and we are enjoying them. He goes with high end lights and does not cut corners with the quality. What I liked about Eric is he is flexible with the job w.r.t changes(schedule/actual details of the job) and works with you to recommend/make suggestions.

While his work does not come cheap, you don't want to risk your electrical needs with someone who does not know what they are doing and Eric is a true pro in his domain and therefore, his costs can be justified. You will be really happy that you hired him.

I will definitely hire him again and in fact I am slowly budgeting for my next set of fixtures!

Sorry, but explained my issue and agreed to the $450 troubleshooting appointment, even thinking it as a bit excessive. Said they expected to be able to do it last Friday afternoon and would call in morning to confirm.

I scheduled nothing in the afternoon and waited for his call. It is now the following Monday and have heard nothing.

This says

Wow, I had hoped to forget this episode but just read his response.

I also own my business and would take criticism and not make up a response like this. It was simple, he said he would try and meet me on a Friday but call in am to confirm but never did. Wasted my time when I could have been doing other things.

I needed to get old aluminum wiring upgraded, new outlets put in, and an outlet that didn't work fixed. Based on the reviews here I called Gus. He is all that the previous reviews have said. He's on-time, super nice, and got the job done. His employee, Jeremy was fantastic, very nice, and performed clean work. I consider myself picky and detail-oriented and I never had to point out any missed items because he didn't miss any detail. I honestly, don't know if they were the best price out there because I only called Anchor Electric.  After meeting for the estimate, I was confident they would do a good job and I trusted all the good reviews here. They showed up when they said they would and Gus answered all my questions, and returned my phone calls. Now that the job is done (ahead of the estimated time frame), I can honestly say that I made the right choice.  Anchor Electric is fantastic and I will definitely use them again.

One of the rooms in my house was out of power and I tried all the normal things like resetting the fuse box switches, messing with the GFI outlets.

I first called General SF after it still wasn't working. Yevgeny the owner picked up the phone and he guided me through a few more tips before he confirmed he would probably have to come on site to check it out. We scheduled an appointment for the next morning. He came over on time with a big smile and was very efficient. I'm a bit of a nerd so I asked him a bunch of questions about what he was checking. He enjoyed answering anything I asked.

He was able to fix it in less than an hour and gave a bunch of tips on how to prevent this from happening again.

Overall, a very honest and skilled electrician.

One of our outlets went in the fritz and Voltyx came out on the same day not only to take a look at the issue and assess what the issue was, but they were also able to fix it and had all of the hardware need for the repair. I would certainly use them next time we have issues.
