Best Electricians in United States

Not sure how VC Electric gets all five stars!?  Recently, we had an issue in our kitchen where our overhead chandeliers, GFI plugs and a few switches got overloaded and went out.  Naturally, not being an electrician, I did my research and even asked a local contractor who they recommended and went to Yelp to find VC Electric.

Victor, the company's owner, came out and met with my wife who was home that day and was able to fix the tripped breaker and get everything back on. He was at our home for an hour and charged us $185.  We were so thrilled, we didn't care and paid it.  While he was there, be began to tell my wife that our entire kitchen was not up to code, that the GFI's were all wired incorrectly, and that all of our wiring had to be redone.  He told her that our kitchen was a major fire hazard and that we would have a fire if it did not get fixed.  She called me immediately and we schedule Victor to come back out the following week to rewire our oven and fix our wiring in the kitchen.  He quoted us $350 for the oven and $1100 for the rest of the kitchen.  My wife being desperate to ensure we not have a fire agreed and he was scheduled.  Victor told my wife and I that the job would likely take 6 hours.

Something had come up the night before that was forcing me to reschedule so I reached out to Victor and couldn't reach him.  I then followed up with a text saying that I wanted to reschedule because of a family emergency.  He replied to the text and said, No, sorry, it's too late to cancel.  We went ahead and had his guys come out.  

His crew arrived at 7:30am and were both very nice.  They started with the oven and did a nice job rewiring it and getting it ready for our new oven installing (Remember, this is the $350 portion of the quote).  I left the house for about 5 minutes and when I came back, 3 GFI's in my kitchen were all opened up and the guys had simply pulled out the wires as they were trying to inspect what was happening.  I immediately told the lead technician that I decided I did not need them to rewire my kitchen and that I was just looking to have them install the 3 GFI's I had recently purchased.  He said, ok, no problem, and they did.

From the moment the men arrived to the moment they left, they were in my home for about 2 hours. Of that time, 90 mins were spent on my oven.  When the crew was leaving, he informed me that the total we owed was $850 and to our surprise, we wrote the check, but still felt like something was off.

Before they left I asked the crew leader whether or not what he saw was a fire hazard as my wife was clearly losing sleep over it.  He said, no, not at all.  Your GFI's should be 20 amp and they are only 15 amp and that should be changed, but its not a fire hazard.  You'll just find that certain appliances may overload these plugs and you need to be careful not to use too many small appliances in the kitchen at once.  I immediately felt like Victor had scared my wife into agreeing to this incredibly high estimate and really left us feeling like we had no other choice.

I called and sent Victor a text that afternoon, evening and even the next day with no reply.  I finally reached him at noon the following day and he asked me if I was the guy from the day before, which I confirmed and he began immediately defending the work his crew did.

He said, my crew did half the work we estimated so we charged you $850.  I told him they all they did in addition to my oven work was replace three GFI's and honestly, $500 seemed a bit steep for that.  He began arguing the work they did when I had to interrupt him and simply say, Victor, you weren't here.  I was.  I watched your crew work and they did not rewire anything. All they did was replace 3 GFI's.  He argued again and I told him that I was disappointed, felt taken and that I would let people know this.  I write this review because I have many years of previous experience in both construction and building restoration and I simply knew something was off.  This was not buyers remorse.  He appears to have a good business from so many 5 star reviews but I can't honestly give him that at this time.  It appears he is a good choice if I want to wire my garage for a Tesla but for anything else, this company cannot be trusted.

These guys came to the rescue when half my electricity was out and no other electrician  was even answering their phone. They were friendly, knowledgeable, spent several hours trying to figure it out and gave me a number of options.

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.

We called S&B Electric this morning because the outlets in our kitchen stopped working and we needed someone urgently over. My husband spoke with a super nice gentleman (my husband doesn't recall his name, sorry) who gave a tip over the phone (which worked)and power was restore  (without the need of a house visit.) We appreciate the attention and honesty and will keep S&B in mind for future reference. Thank you!

WOW!!!! Not surprised that East Bay Electric has a perfect rating. Roger and his team (Rafael, Jennifer and Jamie) have provided the best customer service hands down! Staff kept me up to date on progress and even when I did call in for updates (my anxiety was getting the best of me) they were always very pleasant, patient and happy to help.  Thank you again Roger, Jennifer, Jamie and last but not least, Rafael for providing such top notch service!

Vincent replaced a kitchen faucet quickly and without any input from me. Done! Gotta love done!

It's so refreshing to finally find a completely dependable, and reasonable electrician here in Petaluma. I know I won't have to go anywhere else in the future. Bill's team installed three outside outlets, and hooked up to my main panel. The work was done professionally, courteously and reasonably priced. I really like the way Bill does business. I paid exactly for the materials needed, and then Bill charged a flat rate for the labor. Very easy to see what I was paying for.

Bill's a busy guy, you might play a little phone tag reaching him, but it'll be worth it once you do!

Mark helped us install the EV charging outlet. I had the most amazing experience with Mark. Super quick to respond on Yelp, straightforward quote, fair pricing, and incredibly efficient and prepared. The builder told me it was prewired so I told Mark this information. I thought all I need was the outlet/plug. But turns out the builder didn't wire it! Thankfully Mark had the wires and the breaker ready just in case. He is prepared and efficient and friendly. I would definitely hire Mark for all my other electric needs and would recommend him to everyone

Kirill took the time to address questions I had over the phone. Provided valuable information to help me avoid spending pitfalls when it came to looking for the right EV charger. I truly appreciate his honesty.  Would definitely recommend EVChargerExpert.

Wow!  Chris and Dennis showed up right on time and fixed my wiring issues quickly and at a great price.  Friendly, efficient, top tier service.

Update: Company called and apologized for the inconvenience they went above and beyond to make it right thank you will definitely use them again. Will post pictures of the finished product

Communication was great made an appointment and they were here the next day. They were very punctual. Just not happy with the quality of work. Thank you again.

Ry and his team are amazing. We're prepping our house for sale and needed a replacement cooktop installed. Ry came up the same day to cost it out and I had him price out a few other things (old outlets, malfunctioning light switch, etc.) His team was up the next day to do the work and their rates are very reasonable considering the quick turnaround.

Very professional service. Estimate was spot on. Definitely give them a call.

P.S. We ran into a faulty ceiling light issue just after I wrote this and Ry was able to fit us into his schedule within 24 hours to swap it out. We are very thankful.

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.

I found Dave on Yelp and was completely satisfied with his work.  I was very nervous about finding and  choosing an electrician, but Dave took the time to explain everything he was doing and that gave me a lot of confidence.   He rewired the outlets in my garage, installed a ceiling work light, and installed a motion detector light outside. The work was first rate!

Len and his team have done a number of electrical projects on my property in Marin. They are always very friendly, professional and get the job done right. Len is responsive and delivers high quality customer service. I have really enjoyed working with them over the years and highly recommend them to anyone needing an electrician.

We had a complete rewiring of our upstairs to comply with specifications needed for new insulation in attic. Micah and his crew were reliable, responsive and good workers. When there was a small issue that arose (with the doorbell wiring), Micah came to fix it himself with no additional cost. Would definitely recommend

It's been a great experience working with Chris for my outlet and light fixture issues.  Our 60-year-old electrical wirings are very messy and complicated, Chris really took the time to troubleshoot and found the root cause of the problem. Communication with him was great and he was very good at following up with different issues. I am very grateful for the professional services he offered, and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an electrician!

I called Authentic Electric to help me with an exterior lamp that was not working. Don called me back within a couple of hours and we set an appointment for the next day, a Saturday. Don and another gentleman showed up exactly on time (a specific time - not a range) and were courteous, efficient, and effective. They explained that the switch was wired incorrectly and fixed the problem in about half an hour. Had a great experience and will definitely call again! Note: Authentic Electric does not accept credit cards (only cash or check).
