we are very pleased with their professional and timely services.

Albert is the best! I call him for all my electrical work. He's very responsive, does great work, and his prices are the best. He's extremely trustworthy, and will always explain all the best options and costs.

So far he's installed recessed lighting, replaced all breaker switches, added 3x 20A GFCI outlets, and an additional exterior outlet. I will continue to call him for all my future electrical work!

I want to start by thanking Mike for his upmost professionalism during this process. When I started vetting contractors for our job (recessed lighting) I was met with some push back from other contractors and also some downright rudeness. Mike took the time out of his busy schedule to come look at the project and give me a fair quote on the job. Him and his team came over and worked though some tough situations due to the way our home was built, 1977 build. He explained everything along the way and kept me in the loop before he did anything extra. My wife and I are extremely please with the job done, and would recommend this crew to anyone. We have more project coming in the future, and these guys will 100% be our first and only call! Thanks Mike and Team! You both went above and beyond the job to get things done. Cheers!

I highly recommend Tri-Phase Electric! 

As most consumers would do, I reached out to 8 different electricians all at the same time for a quote. Mike the owner of Tri-Phase Electric was the first to respond. He was prompt with our appointment and responded quickly every time I texted him with questions. He was very accommodating and was able to squeeze in my installation of the tesla charger with short notice. He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to me. His pricing is very reasonable, will definitely contact him for any future work that needs to be done. 

5 stars for Mike - Tri-Phase Electric!

We were very grateful to have found James for an electrical panel upgrade for our 1950's home. He was very knowledgeable and his estimate came in at a very fair price. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced my husband and I to work from home and our three teenage children to complete their college and high school classes virtually, we quickly discovered that our home was NOT built to handle the electrical load we were placing upon it! We suffered greatly when several Zoom calls crashed after innocent family members warmed up lunch in the microwave. There went the breaker... again and again! The microwave became a source of heated (ha-ha) debate for the family, with strict rules of when and how it could be used without disrupting someone's online work! Along came James and his assistant Eric who listened to our woes and helped us figure out how to fix this and other electrical problems. Not only did James take care of our current needs, but he helped us think about future needs when we told him we wanted to remodel our kitchen and redo our garage eventually. Thank you, JCM Electric! We've already referred JCM to our neighbors and will continue to do so. We've been very satisfied with his excellent work.

Gary was responsive, gave good competitive rates and did the job to perfection. Would highly recommend him.

I have found my go to electrician!!
Richard is very knowledgeable and a professional. He went over and beyond what was expected. I would definitely recommend him (Acero Electric) to friends and family.

I used Arsen electric for installation of an EV charging outlet at my house. I'm quite pleased with the punctuality and level of care the team provided for my job. Dmitri answered my initial call and immediately understood what I needed. The next day we had a short meeting and he inspected my electrical panel. Two hours after that everything was ready to go. Thanks again for the great work!

I am tremendously grateful for the excellent service that I received. The breaker in my house needed to be updated and was causing our lights to flicker on and off. The response time was almost immediate, the consultation went smoothly and the repair was done first thing the next morning! Thank you to the wonderful professionals at Brother Electric for providing fast, high quality service and repairs. I would definitely recommend and use this company again!

I reached out to multiple business gathering quotes for a panel upgrade. TD West were one of the best prices I received so naturally my consideration for them was high.

Tom was the person that I spoke to, the level of excellence in terms of communication is flawless. He is very responsive and often checks up on progress and provides updates. His team which consist of George and one other were the same way.

In terms of duration from start to finish, I am satisfied. I do not think others understand that often times the delay is caused by PG&E. With that said, Tom handled everything in terms of obtaining permits and working with PGE.  Highly recommended from a true yelper.

I chose Coastwide Electric for a full home re-wire and a panel upgrade to 200amp. I must say working with Mickey and his crew was an amazing experience. Every single person he brought into my house was very professional and barely took any breaks. It took them 4 days to complete all of the work and I couldn't believe it. Mickey, the manager, was on top of his crew every step of the project. He also educated me on what is running through my attic and through my walls. I have worked with a lot of contractors before but never with someone so efficient and straight to the chase. He also did all of the coordinating with PG&E and took care of the entire project while I was busy at work. If I could give them 50 stars I would. I am a very happy customer and will refer them to all of my friends. Thank you Coastwide! You were awesome!

2/13/2014.  Meigs at Hewitt Electric is amazing!  He really cares that you are satisfied with his work.  And that includes taking care of you after the job is done.  Do yourself a favor and hire this guy!

2/28/2013.   Everything we wanted fixed is working, and the job came in within expectations.  We enjoyed having both Meigs (owner) and Kurt (employee) in our house!  They were easy to work with, and to communicate with.  Meigs solved two of our problems during the free estimate -- he's an excellent diagnostician.  He is genuinely interested in customer satisfaction.  We'll definitely call again if we need electrical work.  

Tips on Electricians in General
* Specify free estimate if you want a diagnosis of your problems
* Ask about a guarantee and get it in writing
* Do expect an electrician to be expert on the wiring and outlets in your home.
* Don't expect them to be expert on the things attached to those wires (smoke alarms, light fixtures) -- it helps if you do your own research!

Tips on Smoke and CO Alarms
* California Senate Bill 183 requires the installation of a Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector in rental units and dwellings that are being transferred (sold) by January 1, 2011. It also requires that CO detectors are installed in ALL homes by January 1st, 2013.
* Home inspectors will be required to report on the presence or absence of a working Carbon Monoxide detector, just like they report on Smoke Detectors, and water heater strapping.  In addition, sellers will be required to disclose the presence or absence of a working Carbon Monoxide detector starting January 1, 2011.
* It's recommended that you replace smoke alarms after 10 years
* Look for a double sensor (ion + photoelectric) smoke detector.
* Lithium smoke detector 9-volt batteries are available at low cost.  They should last for five years or so (vs. one for alkaline), so you won't be woken up by the low-battery chirping of your alarm as often.
* Get Smoke in a Can made by GE (or a similar product).  Smoke in a Can tells you if your detector actually detects smoke, and will give you great peace of mind.  Plus, it's super easy to use! The lights on the detectors do not tell if your unit actually detects smoke.

Apollo electric is my only go to electrician!!
I'm a designer and Ted services ALL my lighting and electrical needs. I trust his work and his crew Whether for a clients home or for my own home. Ted knows his stuff. He's great with problem solving and Troubleshooting as well as new install and has a great eye for aesthetics in terms of lighting plans. Always always on time and finishes jobs in the time promised. That is very rare to find in this industry. He's also a preferred installer for Tesla!!! So if you need electric vehicle charge station set up or If you have ANY ELECTRICAL NEEDS, call Apollo!

I contacted Wesley about installing a level 2 electric vehicle charger for my home - this required adding a 40 A circuit to the house.  Wesley was prompt in responding to me and the prices he charged seemed fair. They showed up on time and the installation went off without a hitch.

Had an emergency with the A/C, and contacted Electricians on Duty, very helpful and quick response.

Cannot thank Alvin enough for his work. Called him at 9am and arrived at 10am on the same day. Fixed the problem that previous electrician couldn't fix in less than an hour. Saved our week. Highly recommended!

I work as property manager for a company and those days I was in San Jose, Oscar is a detailed, experienced and reliable technician. On the day of the quotation, I showed him several areas where we had no power. He immediately inspected the fusebox). He explained how a fuse might look operational but actually be faulty. It took him some time to remove the cover and test all the fuses. Eventually, he identified and corrected the problem. Suddenly, we had power in those rooms! And we hadn't even agreed to hire him yet! I had some creative lighting / electrical projects and Oscar completed them with much intelligence and patience. He and his assistant Miguel were polite, clean, and efficient.

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.

Jamil and his crew are outstanding. He knows his stuff, honest and forthright and does a thorough job. I engaged him a few times, once to fix some sagging doors and the second time to put up some industrial racks at my garage. Jamil is clear in communication, timely, does outstanding work and goes out of his way to help beyond what is expected of him. Highly recommend.

Pacific Coast Home Svcs did an excellent job for me.   My old AC unit needed replacing and they installed a new unit quickly and efficiently.  The entire process was professional - from the moment they answered my call (without being on hold btw), to the appointment scheduling and notification process, through the quote and installation process.  They make an extra effort to explain what they are doing every step of the way.  I would absolutely use them again.
