Best Electricians in United States

Found them on ServiceMagic in 2010. He did a whole house fan with product recommendations I found helpful, put in arbor lights with wiring and switches, fixed a couple of problem plugs and wirings, and gave me a couple of plugs and switches in attics and crawlspaces. He gave me a couple of additional minor items to add to the list that really made things like my attic light more useable and didn't add much to the bill. He came on time, knew what he was doing, had good recommendations for the work items, and left things neat when he was done. I had no worries about leaving him alone in the house. He goes in my book for my electrician of need.
   Used again to update house from 100 AMP to 200, fix doorbell, put in lights in and outside garage. He patiently worked through the PG&E process and delays, did another professional job for a reasonable price. Explains why he's the electrician I call for anything.
   Skip ahead to 2019. I have a new house and I had him replace 20 CFL cans with LED cans, put in 20 new LED cans, add 2 96 LED fixtures to my garage, and give me a quad plug on a wall in the garage that didn't have one and is where I would like to put a workbench. As always he's on time, quick, meticulous, and cleans up completely.
    I won't decide about solar til I've been in the new house for a year, but if I decide I'll use James. There's a bunch of reasons all his reviews are 5 star.

Knowledgeable and detail oriented approach provided. Needed upgrades to the electric panel to accommodate the switch from a gas to electric water heater. The team was able to diagnose the issue, fully communicate the available options, and help create a plan to address the situation. The team is RESPONSIVE and will definitely use them AGAIN. I highly recommend them.

Super professional. Great communication. Honest with high integrity. Not sure I can ask for more from a handyman. Very happy and will use him again in the future.

Emanuel came over went into a detailed idea of what he was going to do and how he was going to do it for an electrical panel upgrade. Checked out panel etc with covid safe protocols. Said he would get me out a detailed quote with price, March 1st or 2nd. They would get me a quote in the next few days, no quote or response. Then April 2nd he texted me again saying sorry he was busy and he would write me a quote this weekend and then no email quote or follow up as of April 20th.  Seemed like a good guy who knew was he was talking about just didn't want the business I guess.

Was looking to upgrade our new houses old panel to a new 200amp, add exterior lights, canned lights in various parts of the house and ground outlets.   Henry was very prompt to come out, evaluate what we needed (and things I thought we did that we may not need). On his evaluation he was very clear on scope of work and provided a very good price for the work. We purchased the lights switches ourselves to save costs at Henry's suggestion.  For the install of panel and light and all Doug was prompt, polite, and awesome to get everything put in. They completed all work in two days flawlessly.  Will be doing more work soon and will call CP&L for sure. And recommend without reserve if you need work done.

Talks a nice talk but doesn't do a thorough job and unresponsive when trying to reach for unfinished job.

Air gap is where the dishwasher drain hose is connected to prevent backflow. It is usually located on the top of the sink and is covered by a simple cap. Anyway the hose had appeared to have a blockage and water was coming out through the air gap during draining. Since my regular handyman was out, I looked up yelp and found Fred. He was very responsive and came the very next day. He told me that this is quite a common issue. He removed the hose and showed me that there was no dirt or debris causing the blockage but theorized that because the hose was too long, it could have bent in a way blocking the draining water. He cut a little bit of the hose and connected it back to the air gap on one end and garbage disposal at the other end. However there was a leak at the garbage disposal end. He used navy sealant tape (which he explained were the best) and wound some of it around the leak. This seemed to address the leak. I was happy, gave him what he asked for with the issue seemingly fixed.

However that afternoon when we ran the dishwasher, it started leaking near the spot where he had put the navy sealant tape. I reached out immediately on the same day and on multiple times through the next few days but got no response. I sent one final message telling him that this would be  my last text message before I write a review. He responded immediately and said that he would need to replace the garbage disposal also (which is perfectly working fine btw) if the leak need to be addressed for an amount of $290. Thanks and no thanks Fred!

I called my regular handyman after his message, he came by, spent 10 minutes and fixed the leak. It was apparently a simple job to tighten the hose and that was all it was needed. To me Fred appeared weak (looked  elderly to me), and definitely sought my assistance to hold one end of the hose tightly while he went about fixing the issue. I was wary of the COVID situation but did not have the heart to say no to this.

My main gripe here is that there was no leak prior to this handyman removing the hose. A leak sprung up after he connected the hose back. He did not bother to come by and address the leak, coming up with all kinds of weird excuses including replacing a perfectly working kitchen garbage disposal!

A real, conscientious handyman who takes pride in his work would have come by and taken care of a problem that he caused.

David is awesome!  I called about 8 different electricians trying to find someone to help with old knob and tube wiring problem I was having with a new ceiling fan.  David was only 1 of 2 that actually answered the phone! I explained the problem to him, he was out the next day and fixed the problem for me.  Very reasonable pricing and great quality work.  I would highly recommend him to anyone for big or small projects.  He gets the job done!

Looks like the owner of this company is not able to perform electrical work.  straight up tells me that they won't take the job that I'm asking for without a reason.  It's upsetting because they won't say why.

I need an attic job done, 2 outlets and 2 lights to be installed, outside I need 3 outlets to be installed (1 repaired).

while they have the right to refuse, I have the same right to post a review to reflect the lack of explanation in their decision.

[changing score from 1 to 3] owner replies through a public forum that their guys got covid -- how was that difficult to not tell me in private.

I'm still looking for an electrician

Very quick to get back to me. He does very clean work and was able to get it done on the same day. Very professional electrician.

SM repair fixed faulty outlets for me. He was on time, honest, easy to work with, knowledgeable, and fair. I will not hesitate to do business with him for my future home repair needs.

I called ELS Electric this morning because our oven keeps tripping the breaker and this last time we smelled some burning near the electrical panel. Larry returned my call within 10 mins and after discussion the issue he said he would be over in a few hours.

They checked both the main panel and sub panel, tightened a connection and determined that both panels looked fine. They did find that one of the two hot lines to the oven was drawing more current than the other, and that it was possible a problem with the oven it's self, or there was a problem on PG&E's end outside the house (which was likely because we do get some dimming of lights in the house). We agreed that he should replace the breaker to be on the safe side and that then we would know for sure that wasn't the problem. It wasn't the breaker. Larry suggested that I call PG&E before calling an appliance repair person and even wrote down some notes for me on what he learned so I could give the information to PG&E and/or the appliance person.

A short time later PG&E showed up, he looked over then notes and we talked about everything Larry had done and told me. Sure enough he found the connections in the box in the ground our front yard were badly corroded, and in fact that the technology was very old and should be replaced and put in an work order to replace them. The corrosion was so bad he was unable to clean them and a crew will be out in the morning.

Larry worked hard to find a solution to my problem without breaking my bank and I really appreciate that. Both Larry and Dan were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They spent more time than the one hour service call but only charged me for that one service call plus the cost of the breaker. My husband has been feeling like we need to upgrade our electrical panel and Larry assured me that although he would love to take my money we really do not need to upgrade our panel. The work would be costly and it really is not necessary (the PG&E technician also agreed with this assessment). So, add trustworthy to the list.

If and when I have a need for an electrician in the future I will be calling ELS Electric!

The electrician, Martin came in the early morning as agreed upon. He came with an assistant and did a thorough job in determining the cause of the electric malfunction in the outdoor receptacles and then got them fixed. Things are working as normal since. We are pleased with the work and the pleasantness and helpfulness of Martin.

We used Mopia Electric in the past  to install recessed lighting in our family room, kitchen, and hallway. Randy, the owner, did such a great job that we decided to go with him again to do our outdoor landscape lighting. He gives great suggestions about the type of lights to use and even has a good eye for design. We wanted to put lights along the sides of our driveway and he gave us his recommendation for the number of lights and the placement of the lights - we couldn't be happier with how it turned out.  Most importantly, Randy explains what is needed to meet code, and makes sure that safety is the number one priority. His pricing is more than fair especially because we get the peace of mind knowing that the job was done right.

Excellent service! Completed my EV charging and additional outlets for a refrigerator in my garage in less than 3 hours. Happy to have found Robert on Yelp and will definitely use their service again!! 5 star service!!!

I am very happy with Antonio's work on our opened drywall ceiling. The final outcome is what I wanted. It is hard to imagine there was any opening there at all. He  closed it, matched the texture, went same evening to  a store and bought some paint.  He was going back and forth to his car for tools and never forgot to wear shoe protectors. He fixed the light that was not working too. It was ultra easy to hire him. I think I got lucky on one of those crazy rainy days. He responded to my message very quickly and was at my place fixing the ceiling in like 1.5 hours. Wow. I was trying to hire the drywall guy here at yelp for a week going back and forth through his manager and I hired Antonio in a blink of an eye. The bonus: he charges very reasonably. I liked his attitude and demeanor as well. I cannot thank Antonio enough and plan to hire him for more projects around my house.

Juan was professional, thorough and beyond reasonable in terms of rates. He's my electrician going forward! Can't recommend him enough.

I saw the Five-Star rating on yelp..And they did live upto that standard. They:
-Were professional and came on time
-Did a clean job (no messy workarounds)
-Did not rush through

They installed the curtain rods, shades and repainted the existing marks.

We called around to other 4 and 5 star electricians who werent available and wouldnt make any recommendations.

So we called Jeremy and he let us know that Troy was on a job and wouldnt be done until late, but if he finished early he would call us.  If not, they would be there at 8am promptly the next day.

True to their word, they were at our house promptly at 8am and solved our problem quickly.

They also cleaned up after themselves and let us know about the other services they offer.

I would definitely recommend them!
