Best Electricians in United States
I came in contact with VC Electric through my Contractor when I was doing the buildout for my new gym, 9Round Pleasanton. The lights in my unit were not working properly and I needed to replace the transformer. I also had him install my Emergency Exit signs and do some work to power my signage for the outside of my gym.
Working with Victor (the owner) and his crew was a smooth process. He is personable and a real pleasure to work with because he shows up and gets things done right the first time. Victor always answered my phone calls, which is not as common these days as you would think, and worked hard to fit my jobs into his busy schedule.
I will continue to confidently use VC Electric for all my electrical needs!

The estimator made a narrated video of the scope of work. Great, I thought, so everything will be clear. Turns out when the electricians arrived, they never managed to see the video. They didn't bring the lights that I specifically requested that _they_ provide. So they could do only the rough wiring that day and had to come back another day to install the lights.
For the outlets, I specifically requested that they be installed so they stick out 1/4 so when I install the pegboard wall later (this is for a shed), the outlets' cover plates would be flush. They stuck out at least 1/2 -- too far, so they had to fix that on another visit.
Then for relocating an outdoor electrical box, the electrician didn't have all the right parts. He had to run to a nearby Home Depot. (Maybe come prepared to do the job you're scheduled to do?)
A couple of days later, the connections to the box had come undone and the bare wire was exposed, so they had to come back yet again to fix that. The guy also added a clip (of the wrong size) to secure it and used a drywall screw to screw in the clip. First, drywall screws are not rated for outdoor use and will rust. Second, the black phosphate coating will not protect the screw from the chemicals in pressure-treated lumber (which is what the post is that the box is screwed into), so the screw will eventually corrode away. Any contractor should know this. I even mentioned this to him at the time. He said he'd come back in a day or so to fix it. He never came back. I ended up just installing my own zinc-coated brackets (of the right size) using zinc-coated screws.
I don't know how these guys have such a good overall rating. They seem uncoordinated, unprepared, and amateurish. I had previously used a different electrician who does excellent work, but I thought I'd try these guys since their quote was several hundred less. I guess you get what you pay for. I'd never use these guys again.

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.

Saturday afternoon and I'm investigating two non-working burners on the stovetop on our electric range. I've replaced receptacle blocks before so I'm halfway comfortable with this. Have my multimeter out and so on.
This time, for the first time, I want to open up the front control panel. I'm investigating power with my multimeter and short something out (sparks fly) and not only did I short out the range locally but I blew power to the whole house. We have two circuit breaker boxes inside - turn off all breakers, wait, then turn back on, but no joy.
Go to Yelp and call the first three, I think, electricians. No one picks up and I leave messages. Arrive at Stewart's S&B. He's at his phone and tells me to find the PG&E breaker box on the outside of the house and reset whatever's tripped. Which works and the power's back on. We've been in this house 20 years, I've done a little electrical work, but never knew just where the PG&E breaker box is located and this was very useful.
Thanks very, very much, Stewart. I'm not sure if S&B does residential but I'll double-check and if they do, definitely add them to my phone's Contacts list.

Excellent Service! They made sure everything was working and that my family was safe before they left. Roger and his staff are awesome. He schedule my appointment at a time that worked for me. He called to confirm the appointment one day prior and he called again the morning of to give me a more accurate ETA! His technician, Rafael, was not only one time and professional. He was also very courteous and made sure all of the electrical related problems in our home were fixed before he left. Roger called again after the work was complete to make sure we were satisfied! A++ Service! We'll use them again.

As good as it gets! Larry and his team were *awesome* to work with. Incredibly responsive, cost competitive, great at providing a schedule and schedule updates -- and communicating in real time as things where identified that would impact schedule (things outside their control). I would definitely recommend Handyman Heros to anyone -- and I'll turn to them again during my next project. Highly recommend.

Bill and team are experts at what they do. What I really like is how organized and precise he is, his honesty, attention to detail and how he thinks things through and comes prepared. We will definitely use him for future jobs as well.

We had a problem with an electrical circuit. Mark (the owner) came out on a Sunday and got the circuit working within a half hour. He charged one fourth of what another company quoted. An added plus was that he was one of the few companies that would come out on a Sunday. Most electricians are closed on Sunday. He was friendly and I would definitely hire him again. He is new to Yelp so not too many reviews but do not let that stop you from giving his company a call when a repair is needed.

These guys are the best. Lovely people, super knowledgeable, reliable, punctual. Great business run by great people. I've called them twice now to help diagnose a problem with my charger (which they didn't install but were happy to help anyway). First time turned out I had a melted breaker, second time a failed component in the charger itself. Both times, they were methodical, thorough and generous with their time. If I ever need to install another charger, they'll be my first call for sure.

Christopher came out to replace a defective motion sensor on our garage. He found other things that needed to be fixed with the lanterns, and fixed everything without additional expense. He was on time, courteous, and a pleasure to work with.
7960 B Soquel Dr, Ste 356, Aptos, CA 95003
Literally the best contractor I've worked with on a project. We had an emergency where there was smoke coming from our EV charging port. He responded immediately to my request, and came over to fix it within 30 minutes. Whole project took about an hour, and he was extremely professional and clear about explaining each step until everything was fixed, and both the outlet was replaced and the breaker was upgraded. On top of it all, he charged a very reasonable price that was easy to pay via an e-mail invoice. Will definitely be calling again for any future electrical projects!

Had an electric short killing power to our heater and TV/Internet. After replacing the breaker and not solving the problem, I called Ry around 4pm and was thrilled he answered the phone. He offered to come by after his day was done, at 8pm, in the rain, to try and solve the issue. Not being critical we agreed to the next morning at 7am, before the rest of his work day. Personable and professional local BC guy who was very helpful and willing to follow-up to ensure longevity of the work performed. Highly recommend Ry and Always Current.

I can only say, what a great company. I had a significant electrical problem that knocked out all the kitchen outlets as well as the dinning area. Art systematically located the problem and diagnosed what had occurred. There was a single wire that failed causing a domino effect. Unfortunately he would have to cut into the walls to fix this singular issue. He gave us a variety of solutions which was extremely professional. He fixed the entire situation and repaired the wall and cleaned the entire area. You would never know any work was done. I witnessed the craftsmanship and care of the work. He was prompt professional and finished the job in record time. It is amazing to find such good work at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend this company.

Without a doubt, Dave is one of the most professional electricians I have ever encountered. Dave gave us a reasonable and complete estimate for recessed lighting at our home in Pleasanton and explained in detail the process of getting the job done during the estimate process. Another company wanted to charge us $69 as a fee for an estimate.
He worked with us to arrange the job quickly and on our schedule and called us the night before to confirm his arrival. On the day of the job, he was right on time, well prepared with all his tools and materials, and did a very professional job that we are very happy with. He even went the extra mile and checked with us during the course of the job to ensure that we were happy with his layout of the lighting. Moreover, he was meticulously clean during the work and even tidied up his work area prior to leaving.
All in all, highly recommended - will definitely call Dave when an electrician is needed!

Awesome service! Came in and found the problem in a couple of minutes when other electricians couldn't figure it out. Got out here quickly too! Really stand up guys can't recommend enough.

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.

I can't say enough great things about Don and John. They are honest, thorough, and resourceful.
They came out to give me an estimate on a job that could've been very labor intensive and expensive. They took the time to look around and problem solve. After playing out a few ideas they found a simple, cost-effective solution.
After making a quick trip to the hardware store they came back and did the job right on the spot.
Thank you!
