Best Electricians in United States

Against my better judgement, I brushed off the one star reviews and decided to give VC Electric a try.

What a mistake! VC Electrics is like one of those companies you see in the news that try to charge you an arm and a leg for things you don't need and scare you into thinking those are things you do need.

We overloaded one of our circuits and were not able to switch the breaker back on. I called several electricians to see if they could come the same day since it was effecting our fridge outlet. The others I contacted were apologetically unavailable or tried there best to troubleshoot with us over the phone.  Victor lived close by and said he could squeeze us in while also reminding us of his $180 minimum without even taking a look at anything.

Victor comes out and then proceeds to tell us everything is wrong with our panel and that it will be $3000+ to fix. He offensively degraded the panel and how badly it is wired to the point he blames my husband for the mess of how our electric was done. We explain to him that we have only moved into this house barely 2 months ago yet he still continues on the same path of telling us we have a big mess.

My husband has some electrician experience and asks for some pointers on things he himself can do but Victor is clearly of no help unless he's getting paid and flat out says don't touch anything. We ended up not going with Victor yet still had to pay his $180 minimum for basically nothing except scaring us that out electricity was a mess.

By contrast, we contacted 2 other electricians who not only came out free of charge to do an estimate but also reassured us Victor DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. The panel looked totally fine and they offered the simple fix of moving appliances around so that we didn't have all on just one circuit. While they did offer other upgrades that had some cost they were in no way pushy about it and made it clear that we did not have to worry about our panel at all. On top of that, these guys were actually helpful and thoroughly explained and educated us what we could and couldn't do.

Avoid this scheming, rude and money hungry business. Based on my research there are way better electrician options out there (see my reviews for Frontline and AMZ Electrical).

We had an emergency problem  with lighting in our kitchen; the power was off.Fortunately our friends advised us to contact the Five and Free
and they provided an immediate and very efficient help. The lighting was restored quickly. people working for this company are highly professional,everything is organized brilliantly. We think that we were lucky to contact them.We will be highly recommend Five and Free Electrical solutions to all our friends.

Needed a fan installed and the electrical ran into my girls room. Juan came out and got everything done in less than 2 hours and the cost seemed very fair. He was professional and explained everything. Great guy.

Stewart the owner of S&B Electric is very reliable, professional and helpful.  I have hired him to do up grade all the electrical in my kitchen.  I was in the middle of my kitchen remodel when I got a really high estimate from the electrician who I had called at first.  My son found S&B on yelp and suggested that I call them for and estimate.  Steward knew that I was short of time and still did not take advantage of my situation and gave me a great estimate that included coming to complete the work the next day.  To me that was of the special things about Steward.  He came the next day, like he said, and completed the job in one day.  
 All the workers he brought with him were respectful of my house and me.  I would highly recommend S&B and Steward for any other electrical work to my family and friends.

East Bay Electric has THE BEST customer service!  First, the owner, Roger, reviews your situation and calls when you first schedule the appt.  Then, you get emails/text messages when the technicians leave the office the day of your appt that tells you exactly who is coming and allows you to watch them as they drive to your house (just like you can watch your Uber arrive).  Then, Roger calls after the appt to make sure all is as it should be.  

Our electrical issue turned out to be a simple one (although we weren't sure of that when we initially placed the call), and Rafael and AJ were great about doing the work and explaining why it wasn't more complicated, something I very much appreciated.

Overall, I can't say enough good things about East Bay Electric and definitely won't hesitate to call them again with any other electrical work we might need in the future.  The incredible customer service was so nice to receive and so rare to find these days with other contractors, so kudos to you, Roger, for taking the time to go the extra mile for your customers!

Vince from Handyman Heroes saved the day!  Or at least, a dangling light fixture, two wonky drawers and deteriorating wood counter trim.  VInce arrived early, moved with speed and purpose, quickly assessed the problems, fixed the light and one drawer in the blink of an eye, and returned promptly the following day with new drawer and replacement counter.  The counter trim required exact specifications as it indented over a dishwasher and Vince nailed it.  The efficient and economical resolution of these tiny annoyances and eyesores has improved the quality of our lives.  Really!

What an amazing company. I contacted B Henry to request a quote and set up a time for them to come by and fix and electrical problem I was having with a GFI breaker. I wasn't expecting a response on Sunday late afternoon. But, Bill contacting me and walked me through a quick process which resolved it.  I really appreciated his willingness to help me and not have to come out and charge me for, what turned out to be a simple procedure. I will definitely be keeping there number for the next job I need someone to come out and do for me.

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.

this was a super easy process. kirill was fast to respond to all my questions and quoted us a reasonable price. when i was ready to pull the trigger, they scheduled the installation in a timely manner and got the city inspector to come by a week later. the installer erin was super nice, came by any way to look at our house even though it was raining. he didn't plan to install it in the rain but the moment it stopped raining he got it done very quickly and the work was exactly how we asked. very happy working with EV charger expert.

Eight days ago, Dan came to our house to give us an estimate. He seemed really interested in doing the work but eight days later, even after I called Dave, his boss, he never got back to us.
Boys, you are living up to your worst reviews here, I am calling today to cancel my request for a bid, I have to move on with my project. Too bad, there are a lot of good reviews here, but there are many reviews echoing the lack of follow-thru I experienced.

We had Santiago Electric come to our home and install some security lights in two places, repair a broken outlet, install a new outlet, and put in a new bathroom light/exhaust fan. They got right back to me, showed up right on time, both for the estimate and installs, and did quick efficient work. They were also very considerate of our home and very friendly. Great guys. I highly recommend them and will use them again in the future, if I need electrical.

We have Ry and team out to replace a transfer switch and add some additional outlets.  They did a great job, quick, clean and affordable.  Well recommended!

We needed an electrician to install level2 outlets for EV chargers in our garage.  Art was very prompt in returning my call, and came by to look at the location and assess the job request.  He was courteous and very professional and was upfront with the estimate and cost.  I appreciate that he took the time to explain to me the options we have and described in detail how/what he would do and how the finished product would look like.  He finished the job in one day; everything went smoothly and we are happy that we can now use the faster charger for our EVs.

We had a terrific experience working with Dave at Blue Line Electric! His quote came in the middle of a bunch we had acquired, but we went with him because of his promptness, professionalism, and good reviews. We weren't disappointed and would definitely work with him again.

We needed a 1974 installed Zinsco electric panel replacing at our Novato townhouse, which involved securing a waiver from the city because of it's proximity to other utilities. Len at Marin SF Electric gave us a detailed bid/plan, helped secure HOA approval and handled all the necessary waiver and permit red tape with the city. He also scouted around our subdivision and found an example of how this had been done previously, which proved useful in selecting a replacement panel.

On the day, Len and his team of Duncan, Erin and Eric were professional and observed all COVID safety precautions. They were also replacing all the outlets inside our home and installing a new LED light in the shed. Everything was completed in one day (including co-ordinating the city inspection). They repaired all the exterior wooden trim and an interior partition wall. Even power washing the spray-painted utility markers off the asphalt (at my request). Finally, they also paid mind to our 2x nervous house cats and cleaned up after themselves indoors.

The new panel was fully tested and we were happy with Marin SF Electric's work: from first contact to job completion. This was a tricky job and the flexibility they showed after walls were opened in adapting original plans demonstrated their expertise.

Micah just finished rewiring my house in Berkeley; it started out as a medium-sized project to remove the last of the knob-and-tube in the house, but as he and his team progressed, they found more and more non-code-compliant things that the previous owners' electricians had done, and Micah fixed everything. They ended up putting in a new subpanel, rewiring the connection between the main panel and the subpanel, adding AFCI breakers, removing knob and tube in four rooms, adding several new receptacles where none had been, installing new light fixtures, fixing multiple broken/missing GFCI's, and generally cleaning up a huge mess of wires and cables underneath the house, some of which were apparently pretty serious fire hazards.

He and his team did high-quality work, showed up on time, and dealt gracefully with the madness that is the Berkeley Building and Safety  department.

The only possible cons I'll mention:

* Micah (like every other good electrician in the Bay Area) is backed up a pretty long time, so we ended up waiting something like four weeks between when we signed the quote and when he could start.

* All of the extra problems discovered turned this one-to-two-week estimated project into a three-plus-week project (and increased the cost by 40%). In an ideal world, those would have been discovered before work started. In an even more ideal world, the previous electricians wouldn't've screwed so much stuff up, though. *shrug*

I hired Chris to install a ceiling light in my master bedroom. He is very polite, humble and most importantly got the job done in 15 minutes! He seems very familiar with everything he is doing and has a very reasonable rate. I'd hire him again for any electrical related works.

Excellent service by Don and Jon. They are experienced, communicative, punctual and did a great job adding electrical outlets and lights in the basement. Everything looks great and it's completed quickly. Highly recommended!
