Excellent work. Dave diagnosed and fixed a burnt wire in a junction box that had eluded two other electricians. Apparently the work was quicker and easier than the original bid, so we even ended up saving money. Due to all the landslides, Dave needed to emergency work and thus reschedule, but he called on a Sunday to reschedule, which was really appreciated. Honest, on time, and fixes things - what more could you ask for in an electrician?

Hector and his crew were great!  They came out to replace outlets and switches in our home and installed our Tesla charging outlet.  They are professional and patient and took extra precautions by wearing booties throughout the property (really appreciated that).  The job was completed on time!

We will hire them again for more upcoming electrical work in our home.

We highly recommend Santiago Electric for your electrical needs.  Thanks guys!

Ry Kelly of Always Current Electric is amazing! He installed a Generac generator for me and did a superb job. He ran into some difficulties in replacing the old fuse box with a new, slightly larger one and had to do some major carpentry to make it work. He knew what to do, spent way more time than he'd expected when he made the bid but didn't charge me a penny more. Also, his clean-up and attention to detail were all I could have hoped for. Great guy - I definitely recommend him!

Fast, effective service!  Art really knows his stuff.  I highly recommend A&K electric.

Dave was very honest! He did not try to attempt to gouge your for money, as other electricians i had come out for a repair were doing. He explained why the power went out and replaced the wire and switch, and explained everything before he did it, and while he was repairing it as well. He went above and beyond what we called him for and we would definitely recommend him to our friends and call him again!

Very professional, dependable, and reasonably priced.  Work completed: load calculations for our existing and future electrical loads to help maximize solar output; installation of a new 200 amp main panel in a difficult location; and installation of a new sub panel for new addition including a future EV charger.  Power had to be off during this work, but Lenny made sure it was done after I left for work.

This is a house in Oakland, worth almost 1 mil. I had never seen so much wasted wire. Seemed like the job was rush. Perhaps no permits were pulled because I doubt a home inspector would of allowed this.

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 reached out to Authentic through Yelp on the weekend and Don got back to me Monday morning with availability to come that day or the next. My EV charger was on the fritz, and I wasn't sure if it was the fuse box or the charger itself.

Don and John showed up to my house exactly on time (how often does that happen?) and within an hour they had my charger up and running. I was mentally prepared to put out for a new charger, so was thrilled that they were able to fix my problem for the least possible cost.

After 15 years of renovations in this old house, I still haven't found an electrical company that I've been happy enough with to have back again - that's changed and Authentic Electrical is now my go-to.

I had put in a call to my Home Warranty company with an issue with my AC Unit during the recent heatwave and the HVAC Tech that came out told me that the issue wasn't due to the AC system itself but an electrical issue with the breaker the AC was connected to. Unfortunately for me this was something that was not covered by the warranty as it was an issue of improper wiring from the previous owner of the home and I'd have to find my own electrician. The HVAC Tech stated I just needed to have the breaker replaced and the issue would be resolved. I put in a request for a quote online Friday night hoping to get a price range on what I would be looking at for the job. The next morning I got a range of responses from electricians saying that they would need to do a diagnosis to see if it was the actual problem and that could run me $95-$200 alone without the work actually being done and the soonest they could fit me in was Monday or Wednesday the following week. One electrician replied that I would be looking at $750 to get the breaker replaced and new wiring installed from the breaker to the condenser and that didn't include having any sheet rock repaired if that was necessary. Then entered Darren. Rather than rattling off all the possible charges I would have to pay for and how much he charged for a diagnostic he just asked some common sense questions like how long I'd had the ac unit and how long I'd been having the issue.  After a couple replies back and forth and a picture of the label on my condenser Darren told me how much the job would be to replace the breaker and that he could be there in an hour and knock it out. No haggling, no additional charges for work I hadn't asked for, no bs, just what it would run to do the actual work and having it done same day. He showed up and had my AC back up and running within 15 minutes. I appreciate his honestly and directness. There was not even a hint of an attempt to up-sell the work. Just what I asked for and getting it done right and quick. I highly recommend Darren. Good guy.

Had Brennan install a new AC unit, did a wonderful job! Was very polite to deal with and cleaned the area up the very nicely.  Have used him in the past and would recommend him to anyone who needs something fixed.

Ross did excellent work for us.  He arrived on time as scheduled. He diagnosed a flickering light problem for us as defective dimmer switches and changed them out. He installed a ceiling fan and a pendant light quickly and efficiently. We would definitely use his services again; perhaps when we change out our older style recessed lights.

Ken Perry was great! Fast service and affordable. I am very thankful for his help, and will definitely be asking him for more help in the future.

We received quotation from four company when we started looking for a solar system.  Infinium Solar had the best price and we were able to get the LG solar panels and Solar Edge inverter that we wanted.  They installed the system in less than a month from the day we signed the contract and there installation team did a very clean job.  Highly recommended.

I was very happy with the job done at my home. Armando worked around my schedule and was very neat and careful with rewiring my home. The cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend this business to anyone.

I can't recommend Gonzalo and his crew highly enough, but I will try to count the ways....

My wife and I just bought our first house and needed a full rewire/upgrade of the main electrical panel. We also had him add in some new recessed lights, outlets, and outdoor motion-sensor activated flood lights.  Since we were new to this whole home ownership thing, we were a bit nervous to be spending a big chunk of $ on a contractor, given all that could potentially go wrong.  Unlike some other electricians, he wasn't condescending when speaking to us about what we wanted. We wanted an ostensibly over-sized electrical panel in case we ever want to add a hot tub or EV or simply so that its an additional asset when we eventually sell the house. Some electricians scoffed at this and said you don't need that, that's overkill and wouldn't listen to us. His response was always No problem and indeed, that's how he was during the whole process, nothing was a problem for him. His quoting process was straightforward and fair and he includes the drywall work in his quote, something a lot of electricians don't do.  He was on schedule (can't say the same for PG&E, but he has no control over that), which was great since we really wanted the electrical work to be completed before we moved in.

Also, he's responds to texts very quickly, which is always helpful and not very common among other contractors we've reached out to.

Gonzalo, if you see this, thanks again!

I called for maintenance on my HVAC system and received an incredibly quick response along with an appointment same day within 2 hrs of me contacting them. I will say, I was concerned and skeptical to have a company service the HVAC system with no reviews on yelp but given the impending heat wave I decided to give east bay HVAC a try. And I am so glad that I did. Max was the technician that came out and he also happens to be the new owner of this franchise of Fuze and just beginning to build his client base. He spent 2 hours inspecting/testing all aspects of the system and educating me on the issues he identified. He clearly knows his craft very well and talked to me about his many years of experience and his journey to becoming a new franchise owner. He also helped me to prioritize what absolutely needed to be fixed vs what could probably wait. He didn't try to upsell or push anything which was such a breath of fresh air. He was genuine and honest and answered all my questions. I ended up doing the bare minimum knowing Max is a phone call away if the issues I decided not to fix cause a failure. And all of this at a very competitive price. Also, Max shared that his biggest stress with starting his business so far has not been the work itself but rather communicating with clients. Max is from Ukraine so there were times that we ran into a language barrier but it was a non issue for me - nothing google translator couldn't solve and the work speaks for itself. To sum up, I am thankful I didn't judge this book by its cover at first glance on yelp. I will highly recommend Max and will be using him for all of my HVAC and electrical needs going forward.

While I didn't get a chance to work with MEL Electric on my project (my boss decided to use his normal electrician), they were very helpful, qualified, smart and informative during the bidding/pricing aspect on the job. I am a professional in the industry, and definitely give them two thumbs up for anyone looking for an electrician.
