Best in San Jose CA

They are very professional; easily and quickly diagnosed and fixed an electrical short circuit at my house.

This is the second time I am using Albert's services for electrical work. As usual he was very prompt in responding to me when I first reached out about upgrading my electrical panel and also prompt in responding to any of my questions. He took care of everything and always does a thorough and professional job. He goes above and beyond to not only complete the job but also address any unforeseen issues during the job. I am very happy with the panel upgrade that he did and I highly recommend him for any electrical work.

I feel compelled to add to the sea of good reviews here based on the level of service received.

I've never had to request the help of an electrician before but Michael made it so easy. The fees are incredibly reasonable, the work flawlessly professional and it was really fun to ask questions about how everything worked.

Really happy we have a great neighborhood electrician.

Mike the owner gave me some complimentary electrical advice when I had an outlet go pop after the wifey dropped a bobby pin between a plug and the outlet. Don't ask me how it got there, that's another story. Bottom line, I'd call him first for electrical services.

I truly appreciate how quickly and professional for the service. I had an urgent issue on the electric panel on Sunday, half of the house didn't have power, James showed up first thing in the morning on Monday to diagnose it and provided the best and lowest cost solution to us! He spent time to explain the issues and patiently answered our questions. I highly recommend JCM Electric!

Our Whirlpool double oven went kaput....not a good thing so close to the holiday. Gary was responsive and provided excellent service. He was diligent in troubleshooting from panel to oven. Will absolutely use and recommend his service.

Needed to get a Nest thermostat installed and knew there were some wiring issues between the thermostat and the furnace somewhere. Richard was able to quickly assess the situation and give me options when it appeared that the Nest thermostat may have not been compatible.
After offering him an example of a similar furnace/thermostat setup he was able to adapt to the situation and get the Nest thermostat installed!
He provided detailed photos and great communication throughout the process.

Very responsive and excellent workmanship.  On time and finished as quoted.  Would highly recommend

The power went out to all the outlets in my living room and part of the master bedroom in the early evening. I had requested quotes through Yelp and Brayan was the quickest to respond and had a very reasonable estimate. He arrived on time the next day and was able to find the issue within the hour. Thankfully Brayan was able to fix the issue same day for a good price. If I have any other electrical issues I will definitely be contacting Brother Electric first!

Impressed that the electrician not only cleaned the floor after work but also mopped the floor with  wet paper towel. He was also very accommodating, explained the process and answered my queries during the project.

Mickey is sincere and responded to the problem very quickly and promptly. Highly recommended.

I just spoke to Meigs, he's busy until August (we're in May!), but he provided two recommendations once he knew what I needed done. Interestingly, the two references he provided are the two I called on my own (they also have great ratings on Yelp), but each provided somewhat contradictory advice and waaaaaaay different price points!!

Meigs was super cool. I sent him the same pictures I sent to the others and he gave me his opinion. He also said he'd be happy to answer any other questions I might have- even knowing he wouldn't be able to do work (or be paid for any advice). He's genuinely a nice guy.

I can't wait until August to get the EV station put in, but if I had the luxury of time, I totally would!

Ted and his crew are top notch. Showed up on time, completed the EV charger installation within a few hours. Very clean, professional and organized. The best part is the pre and post response time to any and all queries and questions I had. Highly recommended.

Had a circuit breaker this morning when multiple heaters running simultaneously. Called Alley Electric and the representative walked me through the process of how to turn it back on again. In 3 minutes, it was fixed and everything is back on again. Thank you Alley Electric, now I know who to look for when an electric issue occurs.

Working with this company is a pleasure. We know  Raphael & Francisco (along with their crew) since long time ago and every single time we have been satisfied with their knowledge.
They are always on time (starting and completing the job); they give detailed explanation of the project (advising the best solution); they don't put pressure on the customer (giving all the time you need to think about it). In few words: they are more than reliable!! Thank you guys!!
Keep up the great job!
Highly recommended!!

Araz installed a brand new 200A electrical panel for me. They did quick work with excellent craftsmanship, and Max is a really nice guy. Would definitely use them again.

We've had a longstanding electrical issue and that was quickly evaluated yesterday, much to our relief!  We were also advised that we need to upgrade our panel (I know it to be true and not an upsell).  I will use these folks again as I've added them to my address book for a quick call when needed - and for the panel change!

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.

Get get couple estimates from yelp, they beat them all.

Scope of work:
- Repair the entry door that did not open/close properly
- Install new smart lock, lever and door bottom
- Replaced all hinges

(I provided all materials, they provided labor)

Jamil the owner and his partner are friendly and easy to work with. They showed up on time with one hour window, inspected and found the root cause of the issue, then addressed it professionally. When I asked how they fix it, they explained it throughly without hidden any knowledge.

Now I'm happy with the door open and close smoothly. I will recommend them to others.

TL;DR summary :  

- Company extremely over-charges for replacement parts
- Company does not take ownership to address customer complaints or concerns

I have spent more than $5,000 with Pacific Coast to replace my outdoor A/C unit and coil over last couple of years.  Recently, I called them again to check out a problem I was having with the new A/C unit.  After looking into the problem, the technician diagnosed it to be a broken capacitor that needed to be replaced (unrelated to the new A/C unit).

The problem is that they decided to charge me close to $350 for the replacement capacitor (see screenshot of invoice) on top of the $560 charge for the labor costs. I don't mind playing $560 for labor but $350 is extremely excessive for a new capacitor.

As it was getting late, I didn't want to make an issue of it with the technician as he had been working hard at it but he assured that they were charging a reasonable market rate for it.  So I settled the amount. But after the technician left, I decided to look up how the capacitor costs and it's a $10 part!!

So I called back the next day asking to speak to someone about this over-charging.  A reasonable markup is to be expected but how can anyone justify charging $350 for a $10 part?  

Over-charging was the just first step.  This was compounded by the fact that no one in position of authority to address my concern would call me back. This service was done in late August 2021 and the only reason why I'm writing this in January 2022 is that I've given this company ample time to address this issue.

I called repeatedly and after repeated assurances that someone would call me back, no one did.  And what's worse is that every single manager that I was passed on to would ultimately leave the company. I finally was put through to the GM (Jim) who seemed genuinely interested in addressing my complaint. He promised to refund me part of the cost and I was OK with that.

Well another two months passed and no refund materialized. I called back yet again and what do you know, that GM has also left the company.
