Best Electrical Panel Installat… in San Jose CA

Responsive and friendly owner/crew, great work, and helped update my house. I will continue to use them for all my electrical work.

Fabulous! Jason showed up on time and the same day I called. He hooked up power to my tiny house which had previously been off grid.
Took care of the work quickly and was super nice too. I'll definitely use this company again and highly recommend them.

I am so glad that I found Willow Glen! I asked for several quotes to replace my electrical panel from 100 amp to 200 amp. All the contractors I spoke to will only work on the electrical panel and I am expected to find a separate contractor to remove and patch back the stucco around the panel. I was very stressed about having to do this kind of coordination especially when I have no clue what is involved nor how big this type project will be!

After reading all the good reviews on Yelp, I decided to call Willow Glen. Anita answered the call and ask me to send photos of my existing electrical panel, any cables that are around or near the electrical panel and any trees within the vicinity etc to her. Very shortly after I sent the photos, I received an email with a quote that consists of the electrical work to be done, the city permit AND the stucco work! The price was unbelievably attractive - lower than the electricians who only upgrade the panel (i.e. without the stucco work).

I emailed Anita and told her that without an actual house visit, I am very worried that the electrician might discover some issues on the actual day of upgrading the panel, and that I'll have to pay a lot more! She was very kind to speak to the electrician again and called me back personally to tell me that they have been working in this industry for a very long time, they are very experienced and they know what they are doing. She assured me that it is a very straight-forward job. I took the leap of faith and engaged them for the job. I am so glad I did!

Joe and his team upgraded my electrical panel within a day. Miguel and his son came to work on the stucco on two separate occasions (once to put the lathe and once to patch the stucco back). Their workmanship was excellent. These 2 teams were very neat - they did not make any mess and they were very polite and professional. Within 10 days, my electrical panel was upgraded and city permitted!

Here are why I like Willow Glen:
1) Anita was very kind to speak to the electrician several times to make sure that the project is straightforward, and called me to calm my nerves about engaging them for work without a house visit.
2) After each step of the process, Virginia will email to inform me what the next step will be, who will be there and confirm also that the date and time will work for me.
3) I always get an SMS 15 mins before the appointment before the electricians arrive.
4) Joe - when he saw my electrical panel, said to me It's easy! - that really gave me the assurance that nothing will creep up and add to my expenses. He upgraded the panel with ease within a few hours.
5) Miguel - His stucco work is excellent and I am extremely pleased with him. He is always smiling so happily whenever I open the door for him. He is ever so polite and so is his son. To be honest, seeing Miguel so cheerful and happy - it does make you feel happy too!
6) The arrangement with the city for inspection is so smooth and easy and I appreciate the coordination Virginia has to do for this part of the project.

All in all, I must say that what was at first a very stressful search (having to look for electrician and stucco contractor) to upgrade my electrical panel turned into an absolute stress-free joy of working with all these professional and lovely people at Willow Glen.

Thank you Willow Glen - cheers to a job well done!

Minh is very detailed on doing the work. I contacted him for pendant installations. He responded my message quickly, showed up on time, and installed the lights very carefully and professionally. The best part I noticed is Minh cares about my house. When he moved ladders around or walked around, he was careful on floors and walls and always put his tools gently. My ceiling is about 120 inches height and he put 2 piece of woods on the countertop before standing on it so that it will spread the weight evenly without crashing it. Unlike other reckless contractors, he is not only professional but also cleanup everything after the work is done. Highly recommended! Thanks Minh.

Don't waste your time like I did with multiple quotes; just go with Absolute Power. Julio and Mauricio are freaking awesome, thorough, friendly, knowledgeable, passionate... They are the people you want working on your house. Oh yeah, they are cheaper than the others.

We needed a panel upgrade, and Julio was very thorough and personable from the get go. He came out to my house in a timely manner (I received one quote over the phone on the spot without the person seeing the job), explained everything, gave me suggestions, and told me how to save some extra cash on the project. I felt like I was friends with him--like he was a cousin or something from whom I was asking a favor. After I accepted Julio's bid, he stopped by to measure everything, and his wife was in the car. My eight-year-old daughter and I went out and talked with her for a bit like we knew each other while Julio made his measurements. That is the ethos of Absolute Power: You are important to them and they treat you like family; you're not just a job number or an invoice. The entire process was so easy and fluid and fun actually, and don't get me wrong--I HATE having people work on my house; I only pay others to do things I can't do. But there was no pain, no hate, no regret with Julio.

As for the work: beautiful. The panel upgrade was a half day and passed inspection perfectly, and the stucco work the next day. We were at work and did not even know they were there except for the new panel and stucco. The day after they upgraded the panel, Julio and Mauricio were back at our house, labeled the box, and tested every appliance, outlet and switch. Of course, everything worked okay, but they ensured everything was correct before we parted ways.

I have seriously been thinking of more things to do electrically to get Julio back out to my house, but until then, hire him for all your electrical needs.

Post script: Julio upgraded our panel in 2019, so this review is overdo.

Roger is fast response and highly efficient. He started the panel upgrade work  for my house at 8am, by 2pm city final inspection is done and power is back! Hooray! My kids were thrilled to back to summer days with A/C. And my neighbor picked another contractor for the same work I hired for Roger, the city final permit is still going since one week ago.......

We had a great experience with CP&L! Henry gave a quick quote on the 5 small projects we had saved up and explained how he would do the work. We were able to schedule the work very quickly.

On the day of the project, Henry showed up, did a quick walk through of the projects with me, introduced me to his team, and then got them to work. 3 hours later, everything was installed, wired, looking great, and working perfectly. The team was friendly, professional, and efficient.

I'll definitely keep CP&L in mind for any future electrical projects that are beyond my (very limited) abilities.

We moved into new house two years ago and have had the electricity go off every time we used more than one appliance at the same time. We had two electricians check the issue and quoted us thousands of $s to completely rewire the house or change the board. Adary team were honest and talented. They analyzed the problem and worked hard for 4 hours straight until they fixed it. Thank you Adary staff for everything! I can't believe I can work the toaster and the microwave at the same time now! Lol!

Like some many garages there's never enough outlets and as a result we had power extension bars and cords for garage openers, lights, treadmill, tv, car charging, etc. In order to get this organized and to balance out the load on the system I asked for quotes for installation of 5 outlets.  Nick came to the house and we discussed our needs. He then recommended having three circuits installed: one for the threadmill (draws a lot), one for outlets including one where I charge our electric car (using 120v) and one circuit for the two garage openers and having 3 of the outlets be quads and the other two dual. On the day of the installation Nick and his helper arrived on time and during the day installed the circuits with all wires in conduit and boxes and outlets of higher quality.  We are pleased with the end results and have been able to get rid of all the extra extensions. We would definitely use Electrica again.

Upgraded my electrical panel and they were reasonably priced and very professional and quality work. The process was simple and fair and they did not ask for all the money upfront and I paid for what I got. Thanks

I needed help installing nema 1450 for my ev. Dan arrived on time and did a quality installation in a timely fashion. He arrived on time and was very courteous. He had to visit my house twice due to some part ordering goof-up on my part but still took care of the job very well and within budget. Reach out to Dan for all electrical needs. He is really good.

Very professional, on time , cleaned up before leaving. There were super quick in completing their job . Thanks Jim

These guys did a great job installing my ceiling fan. They came in and got it done fast and around my schedule. Thank you!

David was prompt, courteous and fixed my problem quickly at a VERY reasonable price.  I now have my 'go to' Electrician!

EDIT: Shortly after submitting my review, Fuse contacted me and offered me some money back. I appreciated that they read my feedback and my concern about their pricing. Again, excellent customer service.

PROS:  This is a high tech Silicon Valley Company.  I reached a person right away when I called and received regular updates via text confirming my appointment and letting me know that someone was on the way.  The technicians were very polite.  When the tech worker that would be performing the service was running 3 hours late (annoying but it happens), he called and texted me to reschedule. Although the techs couldn't speak English well, they used their smart phones to communicate effectively with us.  Even the app they used to take our credit card looked somewhat sophisticated.  
This was also the only company out of 4 that I contacted that could schedule me within a couple of weeks.  Of course, this was during the 90+ heat wave a few weeks back.
Quality: I don't have the experience to truly evaluate, but the tech demonstrated that the new drain vent now drains outside our house instead of into our bathroom wall. I appreciated that he did that.
CONS: $$$$  All this tech comes at a cost.  $880 Service Charge for 1 tech to work for 2 hours seems steep.  And $190 for about 30 ft of PVC pipe (not including the fasteners) also seems expensive.  
Would I use them again?  Yes, and I am maybe more willing than most to pay extra for good service. But I'll try again to get a 2nd opinion next time, tho who knows if anyone else will be available.

Caio came by to install an outdoor cam/floodlight and also ran a conduit into the garage for power. He was super easy to work with, very responsive and reasonably priced. I'm not an electrical expert, but as far I as I can tell, the work looks clean and he cleaned up after himself when complete. Highly recommended, would definitely hire again. Thanks again Caio!

I bought a Google Hello Nest battery doorbell and decided to hire Jack to convert it to a wired one so I don't  have to worry about having to charge and babysit it. He also updated the outlet to a GFCI one.

Jack was easy going, communicative from the start, pleasant to work with, and prompt. He speaks English and Vietnamese. I think his pricing is fair. He took his time to make sure everything worked and was to my liking, such as the view angle, the location of the device, and different options for installation. We ran into an issue with the wall studs being in the way and he was able to provide workable options. He cleaned up after himself, wore a mask, and took his shoes off to do the work.

The work was clean and everything is working great so far! I would hire him again in the future when I need electrical work.

Incredibly responsive, super communicative. Came out after closing on the same day after I requested in the afternoon for service. Charged best rates and I shopped around to quite a few service providers. Will continue to use for future electrical services. Highly recommend.

Mike is excellent at what he does and very courteous. Had a 3-way switch burn and a couple of other recessed lights that needed to be fixed. Mike gave me a time and stuck to it. Definitely will call him again for any electrical needs.

Love they showed up on time and had a work done properly and given them 5 star not enough highly recommend this company
