Best Electricians in United States

I am soooo glad I found Darren Kicker. Darren was super laid back and easy to talk to from the very first contact, and his price was ~$1500K less than the 1st quote I had gotten, and things just got BETTER from there.
I bought a Chevy Volt and was eligible for a free charging unit via Chevy's partner SPX ($2500 value). When their subcontracted Electrician came he could see clearly I needed a panel upgrade my 70 Amp panel was not gonna cut it, but his 125A upgrade price seemed high. So I got another quote from someone, a little bit shady sounding on the phone, and it was much less but still seemed more than what I thought it was worth to get the free charger. After couple more calls I Finally found Darren, his price for 125 Amp panel was so much less that I decided to go 200amp panel instead still ~1K less than the first quote. Anyway super kool, mellow, punctual and does awesome quality work. We had a funky situation with our drainage pipe and we did not like where the line upgrade would be situated. Darren found a solution and grabbed some more supplies and it looked great.
Anyway, high quality work at very competitive rates, was always on time and friendly each day, trusted him with my keys and he even kept an eye on my house while other heating guys were to show up and I could not wait around for them.I highly recommend Darren and already I am having him quote some other things we need done around the house.
On a side note: Sign off from inspector was a pain. I live outer Sunset SF and this inspector came in said nice work for Darren's scope but then walked down my garage looking for things to fine me for violations. We were shocked that they could do that, I just bought the house so this is stuff I had nothing to do with. Darren was able to work with me to keep any added costs down that this inspector wanted.

They were extremely friendly and helpful. I had some flickering lights that I wanted to get checked out, and some questionable wiring that came with our new house, and they got everything fixed in less than an hour. Everything was at a reasonable cost too.

I had Perry Electric do some work in my condo last year and it's probably the best experience I've had with an electrician! They were always on time, prepared, very skillful and honest. I'd definitely call Perry Electric again when I have an electric project to be done.

Infinium comes off like they know what they are doing. During the sale process, I was dealing with Jacob Sleep. He seemed to be very responsive and knowledgeable. A GREAT salesman. But he is exactly that, a GREAT SALESMAN. Once you sign on the dotted line, he is far less responsive. In fact, the entire company has this one fundamental issue. Once you sign the contract, you become a secondary citizen compared to the people they haven't signed yet.
Let me dig into some specifics:
My first contact with them was May 13th, 2021. By May 27th, they were already sending me the contract, promising me that the project would be done within a couple of months.
Today is December 13th. Solar panels are still not installed. Now let me be clear on what happened so that hopefully you understand the PROS/CONS.
When Jacob was out and he was surveying the house, he asked good questions and suggested things that I didn't know much about like optimal locations for the panels on the roof. One specific thing he suggested was the location of batteries. He recommened we put them inside the garage because it makes the batteries last longer when they are not exposed to the elements. I agreed. I also came away impressed with how knowledgeable Jacob seemed to be about the different types of panels and the batteries. I came away thinking that Infinium would treat me well as a customer.
After signing the contract, things started to unravel. Infinium got to working on the plans and they went silent for several weeks with no visibility or updates. Jacob became VERY unresponsive. I sent some follow up emails asking where we were at and didn't get responses. Finally, after about three weeks they responded saying that they are finishing up the plans. They told me that after approval, they would handle the permitting with the county and it shouldn't be more than a month.
A few more weeks go by and nothing. Every once in awhile Jacob would respond to my messages saying that they have just submitted or that they are waiting for feedback from the county but not explanation for why things were taking so long. Finally, on August 16th, I wrote Jacob saying that delays were longer than anything that they pointed to and I was wondering if there were some kind of discount they can offer as I was now losing any chance of taking advantage of the summer sun. Jacob responded saying that it was Santa Clara County's fault because they changed the guidelines since he spoke to me and therefore, it's not their fault. Didn't even acknowledge my asking about a potential discount.
Jacob and I spoke on the phone and I asked to speak with the owner of the company. Jacob NEVER made good on that.
The first concrete bit of information also came in August from them but not from Jacob but from a Jackson Bigham who I believe was the project lead. He said because my batteries are placed in the garage, the county is asking for significant failsafes like barriers against cars potentially running into them, smoke detectors and potentially even sprinklers. Jackson was also the first to actually apologize for the pace of the project which I hadn't heard from Jacob. While it was not good news, I appreciated Jackson filling me in on the details of what was going on, again, months after I had signed and asked for updates.
By October, still no permit. Jackson explained that the issue was the Fire department and the county going back and forth and changing requirements on them in real time. On October 5th, Jackson looped in Jessica Stephenson who he said was now the project manager who has taken over the communications with the county.
Jessica and I spoke on the phone. For what it's worth, Jessica was more responsive than Jacob (at least initially). She was also willing to apologize (at least in words) for the delay. I once again asked to speak to the owner and to her credit, she did make good on that promise unlike Jacob.
A week later, I spoke to the owner, Jeff Long. He was pleasant to speak to and apologetic about the delays. I asked him to please tell his people to be more professional about communicating. He said he would though I could tell he was placating.
Jessica kept me aprised but ultimately the county required too many things so I asked for the batteries to be moved outside but for them to provide a cover. She ignored the cover and said the batteries will be installed outside. That was end of October. Finally on Nov 30, Jessica emailed and said the permit has been approved. They scheduled me for install today (Dec 13th) and tomorrow (Dec 14th). This morning, Jessica emailed and said that the weather won't allow for them to install. I had already told work that I wasn't coming in and now I'm scrambling because they waited until this morning to tell me something about the weather that they had known last week. Again, an issue of communication.
I'll update when the final install is done but I can't recommend this business based on my experience.

Great Electrician. The husband and wife team at D & H went above and beyond to help us in an emergency when our power lines were taken down by a large tree.
The work was done quickly and they really helped out with the county inspection. Highly recommended if you need an electrician.

902 Enterprise Way, Ste G, Napa, CA 94558
Electrician
My daughter needed a lot of work to be done in her old home. Dave was recommended to me and I was very fortunate he could come a few days after my call, in order to fit my schedule.
I owned an Eichler for over 40 years and have had a lot of work done over the years therefore dealing with a variety of specialists.
Dave was extremely professional, punctual, thorough, efficient and detailed. Quick at understanding the issues, communicating clearly what was necessary to do or not and performing his work without any hesitation, installing new dedicated lines, new exterior and interior gfi outlets, motion lights, rewiring... His fee was extremely fair and he used high quality material.
I am surprised there are not more recommendations, because he is an incredible professional gem. Thank you Dave!

Darius installed flat screen tv's, overhead lighting, wall sconces, and light switches for me. He did an amazing job. I would recommend him to anyone needing an electrician.
7341 Circle Hill Dr, Oakland, CA 94605
Electrician
Zack is a true craftsman. He is pleasant, courteous and can do the work in a fraction of the time of a less experienced electrician. We asked him to replace a doorbell, and with a glance, he could identify that the transformer, not just the ringer, was the issue, and handcrafted the parts to make it work. His son Peter is also pleasant and helpful. You need not look farther for a dependable hometown electrician who will do his best to give same-day service--and can because he is so efficient rather than because he lacks customers!

I hired I2A to troubleshoot an electrical issue and to install an outdoor conduit/outlet. Tony arrived on-time and took the time to carefully examine the wiring. He explained everything to me in great detail and answered all of my questions with great patience. We discussed the various options for the conduit and he walked me through the alternatives and tradeoffs. He also helped me solve a long-stand mystery about my home wiring along the way! In the end we agreed on a solution and a price. Tony arrived on-time to do the work and did a wonderful job. He asked me questions along the way to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I'm very happy with the results and, if I ever need any electrical work done, will be calling I2A first. Thank you!

Fuse Electrical installed an EV wall connector for us. I only have good things to say about them. That includes their scheduling, estimation, inspection coordination, and installation teams. I find them to be very prompt, professional, courteous, and creative. You wouldn't go wrong with hiring them.
