We couldn't thank Dave enough for repairing the electrical issue at our house. With a 1 year old and no power to 3/4 of our house he came in and handled it quickly and professionally. I will be using/recommending Dave for any electrical needs in the future!

I had a list of little jobs and called McGuire Electric.  He was in the middle of his busy season but was still able to come out to see what was needed for the various jobs.  He then returned when everything had been ordered and came in.  Extremely efficient, professional, reasonable and just all around nice.  I have already recommended to three people and plan to keep on doing so.  The only way you could go wrong would be if you did NOT call McGuire Electric!

I've used AC DC in the past. This time, I needed to bring the electrical for my older rental property up to code.  John, in my opinion, is probably the best electrician in Tracy.  I've had other electricians look at that home in the past, only to shy away from the difficult stuff. John (along with his great associate, Cynthia) tackled all of my problems, and actually solved them and explained to me exactly what was wrong in every instance.
Issues were identified, brought to my attention, and corrected.  If you're looking for cheap labor, this is not for you. If you want the job done right, use AC DC.  It's a great experience when you know that your electrical is safe.

Simple storm drain issue, has some roots between clean out and the exposed drain in my dry well. Two yahoos show up, that hardly know which end of their snake is the business end. They quote me $1200, snake the line, pull out a few roots and tell me there is nothing else they can do. Then charge me 3.5% on top for paying on a credit card. They don't have a different snake that can clear out the roots without me paying several more hundred dollars and signing a waiver that if they cut my pipe in the process it isn't their fault. I can't ever recommend this company. They just don't have expertise.

I was looking for a local electrician to install a modern plug receptacle for a new electric  dryer. Victor Chavez (owner) came out and did the install himself. He was on time, courteous and very professional. In addition, he's very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and will answer any of your questions.

After the receptacle was installed, tested, and made sure the dryer was working properly, he performed a task he didn't have to do but felt it was necessary for peace of mind of the customer. He took the time to properly secure the dryer vent ducting between the dryer appliance and the wall vent. Also, he noticed my doorbell wasn't working and offered to diagnose the problem and found the transformer had died. He not only replaced the transformer but he also installed a new doorbell too.

Victor did a wonderful job and I highly recommend you use VC Electric for your electrical needs.

Chris and Gerry just finished the work we had requested and we are so pleased that I'm sitting down to write this review as Chris is taking away the boxes, debris and their tools. We engaged Five or Free to install a ceiling fan in the bedroom, replace the chandelier in the dining area, and install a swinging TV arm and mount our TV on it. Both Chris and Gerry were extremely professional, knowledgeable, personable and thorough. My husband and I couldn't be happier with them and their work. We wholeheartedly recommend them in particular and Five or Free in general for electrical work.
P.S. We have white carpets (there were there when we moved in...ugh) and we appreciated that Sal, who came and gave the estimate, and both Chris and Gerry immediately put on coverings over their shoes before they came inside. Perhaps a little thing but it was indicative of the care they all took to make sure that we and our place were taken care of.

We needed someone immediately and owner Juan Marin was there to help!  We called several companies but couldn't get anyone to come asap. High Power Electric took care of us immediately!  When he left we received a detailed explanation what was going on. We will call High Power Electric for all of our electrical needs because Juan was there when we needed him.  Thank you Juan for answering our call!  He's definitely the best at what he does.

I should have wrote this a couple of weeks ago, but better late than never.
I called early Saturday morning because I was having a problem with some breakers in an old house. I'm a lumber buyer and not an electrician, Stewart was cool and said he could come out in a few hours. It was a $350.00 service call, ya I know kind of steep, but it was a weekend and I could understand. He came out fixed the problem and replaced any needed breakers. Here is the thing and why I think this guy is a straight shooter. My company sells breakers and the one he replaced we sell for around 50 buck and he only charged me 50 buck for the breaker. I know some other shady guys would have charged me $100 or even more for that breaker to pad their pockets. Stewart also took my payment over the phone cause I was at work and couldn't be there. I will need to replace the whole box eventually (remember old house) He gave me a quote that seems fair and I will have him do it in a few month (not quit in the budget right now.) Anyway if you need some work done you wont go wrong calling Him!

Exceptional Work!  Roger's detailed evaluation of the job and the challenges of routing the wiring for our EV Charger in the 1920's house led us to select East Bay over a slightly cheaper competitor.  His evaluation indicated he might be able to route the wires inside and avoid exterior conduit (ugly & expensive) but until they actually started the work he could not be certain so he bid the conduit as the competitors did.  (The competitors saw no chance of doing it any other way.)  

East Bay's persistence and expertise resulted in the better and cheaper install with a lower final bill than the estimate.  The work was highly professional and the communications during the whole process from job evaluation to final inspection were exceptional.  As 5 stars says, As Good As It Gets.  You can't ask for more.  No promises that could not be kept.  Honest assessment of the work and the challenges.  Work performed as scheduled!

I highly recommend East Bay Electric.

Note I'm posting this review for work done at my Girl Friend's house in the East Bay.  Don't be confused by my home address in Kansas.

Stephen did a fantastic job over two days of work to complete a punch list of small but important house repairs, including minor plumbing, electrical, drywall repair/paint, and eliminating squeaks

If you are looking for an honest electrician, Bill is your guy.  I needed some motion lights installed, plugs fixed, outside plug replaced, just small jobs.  Bill and his son Joey called before they arrived (very punctual) and very fair.  I was told by another electrician I need to replace the GFI plug on my hot tub.  Bill said it wasn't necessary.  He could very easily have charged me for replacing it instead of being honest.  If you want a good honest electrician at a very fair price call
B.Henry's!!

Mark was kind and such a professional. On top of that , he saved us a lot of money! Super cheap compared to all the other quotes we received from other companies.

Kirill and Erin thanks for the great install job and more. We definitely hit a few hiccups her and there but you two addressed it very professionally. Had a Tesla Wall connecter installed for the home in a  very strict San Francisco city where you need to get inspection done as well. They did a good job during install, I only wish they told me that the first visit was just a consultation to see and not to actually install. I had to take a day off work then rush back to work. During install everything was great, lots of wiring involved and work looked great. Even installed a motion sensor light for me during the process too as I had the box sitting around. We had some issues with inspection not from their install but from our in general house wiring and they did a great job giving me a quote to fix that and was really fast doing that too. They both were there every step of the way. I even had a breaker blow out for the charger and they came out within a day to get it addressed. Faulty part but install was not the issue. Overall I can tell both Kirill and Erin do care for their customers. They'll even make the drive during traffic hour and odd times to take care of me. Once I need another charger installed for my next home I will reach out to you again. Thank you both of you.

Beware people!!!! These people are unprofessional poor quality service. They send young sales people to your home or business; he did not know how to m aside correctly how to present material correctly ( not to mention they are outrageously expensive. Right hand doesn't know what left hand is doing.
They quoted me $3120 to put three small sections (48. 24) sections under the kitchen cabinets lights with a switch. The actual installer show up with hospital like florescent lights 3 small tracks that wouldn't have even covered the entire cabinet when I asked for LED light.
Their boss gets on the phone with an attitude to tell me LED is more and you need more tracks your cost us higher.
Long story short they left!
This weekend I had the entire under the kitchen cabinet lights done with walk switch and LED lights for $1600.

Maine Electric you guys are some unprofessional money hungry company with no customer service skills.

Best service I've received in a long time.  Dave was out to my house within an hour of my call. He was on his way to another job but said he would stop by my house to check things out.   He took less than 5 minutes to assess the situation.  Noticed the issue was due a broken neutral wire on the PG&E pole.  Gave me the PG&E number and told me exactly what to tell them.  Dave called me later that evening to make sure everything turned out ok.  And he didn't charge me for anything! Can't ask for better service than that!   And thank you to PG&E who was out that same day to fix the problem.  Very glad I now have a great electrician to call when needed!

Called slightly after hours and Hector Santiago answered (scored points with me right there). We scheduled the next day for estimate and Hector arrived exactly on time (more points)!  Price was reasonable, i gave go ahead and just a day later three of the Santiago Brothers came in to tackle the work. And they did a great job! Highly recommend Santiago Electric with a well earned five stars.
