Best in San Jose CA

I called for a quote and made an appointment. They were prompt and asked all the right questions and then some. I installed 6 fans in my home, but what I wanted was beyond my capabilities.
Hormoz and his associate arrived as scheduled. They prepped the area for debris and installed my light fixture in one room, and a fan in my patio.
They were very thorough in their work and in their clean up.
I will not hesitate to recommend this company to everyone I know in need of their services.

My townhouse was built in the 80's.  Over the past 17yrs I've had several shorts occur (a receptacle melted, a switch burned up and a wirenut melted)  The breakers never tripped.  I assume it was faulty receptacles,  switches or connections in gang box in the wall.  I had another short a few days ago and and could not locate it myself.  I called a electrician I knew (who does commercial) and was referred to David Electric.  I called left a message and Albert called me back quickly.  He came out the next day he was on time and ready to work.  As soon as he opened the door on my breaker panel, he told me it was a major fire hazard and needed to be replaced.  The panel was known to not trip a breaker when it should and thus wires in the house get hotter and hotter in an overload situation until there is a failure - just like I had multiples times in the past.  I later looked up the details on the panel (Zinsco GTE-Sylvania) and found many reputable sources and news articles indicating the breaker panel had been recalled/pulled from market in 1984 (4 years after my home was built) and was a major fire hazard.  Albert quoted me $1500 to replace the panel with my choice of Siemens or GE panels labor, parts, and tax all-in. (I looked up pricing and in the Silicon Valley that is a fair price.) Permit was all set. He even offered to do the online application for the permit. He then proceeded to find where the short was and gave me a very good quote for that too.  He spent 2 hours searching and troubleshooting, including working in the attic.  The repair took another hour in the attic and about 30 mins rewiring two sets of switches in the primary bedroom. (troubleshooting, new wire, materials and repair $380)   He noted I had a freezer in the garage and offered to put a new dedicated circuit GFCI receptacle in for that which would reduce future break trips as my garage and primary bedroom were all (unfortunately) on one circuit and thus spread the load out. (new receptacle location parts and labor $160).  

David was friendly and very respectful of my home.  He was neat and clean, cleaning up after himself.  He communicated with me and answered my questions.  I did ask for an estimate and he gave me numbers via text message which was fine.  He did give me detailed written invoices.  He communicated via text message quickly and clearly. His pricing is very fair based on what I saw in the marketplace and I have no doubts that his work was to code and done very well and professionally.   He's a nice guy and just wants to do a good job.  I would absolutely call Albert and David Electric back if I need any further electrical work.   I'm so happy with his work, I'll be recommending him to my Homeowners Association as we have 10 other townhouses with the same dangerous breaker panels.

Had a quick chat with the owner, Mike P.  Super honest about the electrical problems I have even though I did not ask for his service.  He'll be my go to guy for electricity problem for years to come.

Used Tri-Phase to replace some lights throughout my retail business.  They were great to work with - helped me to select the exact bulbs for color temperature.  Also helped me to see that there were several approaches to replacing the lights (going from fluorescent to LED) - with tradeoffs.  Was very satisfied with the quality of the work and their fair price.

James called when he said he would, showed up on time and did everything right - he was very considerate and explained everything in detail. Won't hesitate to contact him again in the future.

Gary was great.  He responded to my request immediately and was able to come by the very next day.  We had an electrical issue with our exterior outlets and he identified and resolved the problem immediately.  The next day (sat) there was an issue with one of the outlets and Gary came by as soon as he could.   He never stops working.  I'll be choosing Best Electrical for all my electrical needs.

Richard is a very knowledgeable electrician.  I'm glad to have him as our main electrician.  He's always on time and knows how to communicate with customers.  His prices are decent and not too expensive.  Thanks Richard for all your hard work.

Dmitry installed a NEMA 14-50 outlet, which connects to my Tesla mobile charger and charges the car at Level 2 rates (8 kW).  

Dmitry was very responsive and reliable.  His quote was very reasonable and significantly less than the other quote I received for this job.  In addition, once he started the job he discovered a better way to do the job, which was also cheaper for me.  I really appreciated that he let me know and saved me some money compared to his quote!

His work was excellent, and the install looks great.  I would strongly recommend ARSEN Electric.

Brother Electric had a great price for the work we needed. Two brothers were prompt, very efficient and finished the work in very short time period.
I would recommend this business.

Andrew is a lifesaver!!!! He came and finish a job for me and its sooo pretty thank u to Dinh and Andrew. Highly recommend them please call them if you ever need any electrical wiring/installation. will post updated picture.

We live in Fremont and searched on Thumbtack for a licensed electrician that was available fairly soon.  Several unlicensed people also offered their services, but we chose Coastside Electric, whose owner, Mickey, is licensed, and we are very happy with our decision!  My husband and I had a variety of electrical work done by Coastwide Electric this week, and we are totally pleased with their customer service, the fair prices, and the quality of their products and work.  The owner, Mickey, was present on the job the entire time his team of three assistants worked.   He constantly watched their progress and gave them praise and ideas for the best results.  Mickey and the workers traded ideas with each other, as well, which was nice to hear.  Their end plan was perfect for our lighting wishes!   They worked together diligently and in good spirits...even the young man who had to crawl under our house twice!  Our new lighting system is awesome, and we are so pleased to recommend Coastside Electric to everyone :-)

I called Meigs and he came out same day and fixed two small jobs I had for 1/3 price others quoted me. He's efficient, super friendly and gets right in there with enthusiasm to fix the problem. I would call him again in a heartbeat for any electrical help and highly recommend Hewlett Electric services !!

Wohoo, I'm so glad I've found a reliable electrician !! Thanks Megis !

Ted and his crew were prompt, professional and got the job done in the time estimated.  They understand how to deal with permitting, inspections and scheduling each step in the process.  Specifically, Ted is very familiar with local nuances in each city, related to inspections.  My house, being an older structure with older wiring and an oddly placed riser pole, was not a straight forward project, but it was no problem for the crew.  They completed the work as planned, kept a clean job site and were very courteous throughout the project.  I was very pleased with the work done by the Apollo and would hire them again and highly recommend them to others.

Service at a price you can afford is NO JOKE. From start to finish: easy, professional, REASONABLE, explained simply and customer service is A+ PLEASE DON'T EVER RETIRE...like I said a good electrician and plumbers are unicorns

Contacted Raphael via Yelp, he was very responsive and prompt. We had a violation for our mobile unit and he took his time explaining the issue and offered multiple options on how to correct it.

I felt he was very honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I already started referring my friends to him. Thanks!

Elvin from Araz Electric came out of fix an outlet the very next day after contacting. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for all electrical needs.

I had this company installed a EV charger, scheduling was very quick and the work was done within a few hours. It was during the payment processing that things got so bad that I had to take a time off from work to deal with bank issues. Apparently the check was deposited twice to my account, long story short, this company is willing to cover the overpayments made by the bank, you don't see that kind of commitment anywhere but CA Electrical Group is going above and beyond to help me get back financially. Yes theres still this stigma of overpayment that caused a lot of headaches, time lost at work and schedules disrupted. I only hear about this from other people and when it happens to you, its nothing to be laughed at.    
Given that the bank has already started the investigation why overpayments on two identical checks was processed it will still take 7 to 10 business days to determine the why, the who and the what caused this to happen.
I despise how banks are slow to process claims whether its a credit card dispute or checking issue, but today i take back those assumptions back when my Bank credited the overpayment back to my account, while they continue to investigate this incident.
I admire their commitment to service and quality moving from 3 stars to 4.  02.03.2033@3:56 pm.

After browsing a long list of Tesla charger installers, I ultimately chose Fruitdale Electric. Within days of my initial contact, they visited my home and provided a quote, which was much faster than I expected.

On installation day, their technicians arrived promptly. They installed a Tesla gen 3 charger, surge protection, and ran electrical wiring through my attic to the opposite side of the house. Despite the terrible weather at the time, they delivered flawless work.

The location of the charger was a challenge due to the tight space, and I had anticipated conduit running outside of my house. However, they exceeded my expectations and executed an incredibly clean installation with no visible wires or conduits, leaving just a Tesla charger on the wall exactly where I wanted it. Most importantly, my car now charges at a rate of over 40mph, a significant improvement from the previous rate of 4mph.

Had several scopes of work that Jamil helped with, started with 2 and grew to 4 projects inside and outside the house (subfloor install, raised header for door, patched wall, repaired exterior fence that was damaged) and all were completed timely. Jamil and his crew are punctual, clean and very respectful of the house.

Would definitely recommend and hire again.

They are more sale people than technicians. Prices are unreasonable even for the area, purely a money grab when you don't have a choice.

As an example:
- $600+ to clean a external unit (and was told that they need to do it before checking refrigerant level, which is false.)
- $299 to check the system (check refrigerant level), but the technicians only saw the pump leak at the very end when taking measurements to replace the whole system.
- $1500 for 9 pounds of refrigerant (you can buy 25 pounds for $550 online). So they basically charge you more than $1300/ hours to add refrigerant.
- $3000 to add refrigerant and find the leak by adding UV DYE (cost $100 online), so extra $1400 in labor to find the leak.

I was quoted a new system too because:   probably just cheaper to replace instead of fixing . Quote is also $10K above any other company I met.

They claim they are not the cheaper because they are more efficient and experimented etc. But when converted to an hourly rate it's just pure money grab, not even lawyers charge that.

I'm disappointed because I called them 2 years ago and they fixed my AC for a reasonable price and the technician was not trying to sell me water filter or other stuff I'm not asking for. So called them again when I got that new issue, but won't do it again.
