Best Outdoor Theater Installation in San Jose CA

Duke did a great job installing a new electrical sub-panel, in preparation for my Tesla solar panel + Powerwall battery installation!  I spoke with 5 electricians and Duke was the only one who knew how to handle Tesla's requirements without incurring the cost, delay, and hassle of upgrading the main panel.  He was responsive and kept me posted throughout the process from quote through inspection, which was surprisingly complicated because we couldn't speak directly to Tesla's engineer.  Duke also put a lot of attention into making the installation on the side of my house look clean and neat, which I really appreciated.  Would highly recommend Duke to others!

Very professional and excellent work. Reasonable prices too. I always call them for all electrical work. My house had very poor electrical work and they fixed all of it. Thank you

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.

Thorough, efficient, prompt and courteous--we were really happy with the service provided and highly recommend Hancock.

Hancock added an outlet to our water closet for a bidet seat, and the job was done neatly and quickly--took about 15-20 minutes.

Communication with Hancock was easy; he was very thorough with his questions prior to coming out. He provided us with options given our layout and explained implications and pricing. What we appreciated the most was Hancock's customer service; he was always polite and pleasant.

We look forward to more projects with this service.

I was in a jam with needing to get a permit on our main panel as soon as possible. Brian came out to our house quickly and took a look. He gave me two options: one where he could file the permit for me and potentially do any work, but he actually recommended that I do everything myself and he took the time to tell me what I needed to do. It isn't that often that you find someone so friendly and acts with integrity like Brian does. He could have easily taken my simple job, but he saved me a ton of money by walking me thru what to do myself and my issue was resolved successfully. So while I cannot rate him on his work, I am giving him 5 stars on his knowledge and good nature.

He did a great job with a room full of bad outlets, and an electric car charger install. Price was very competitive, and responsiveness was great too.

Would recommend!

I've waited over 5 months since Cham did a walkthrough at my place and I still have not gotten a quote on a project that included full a/v and security builds at my house. I've reached out a few times reminding them of this quote request and I was consistently ignored.  

I understand that sometimes companies are busy, and even asked them to just let me know if for any reason the project at my place was not a fit for them. Completely ignoring potential customers is very unprofessional and disappointing.

The have a diagnostic fee of $185.  They told me that upfront and told me that if it is a small job, the $185 gets applied to the repair or if it is a big job. half of the amount gets applied.

The panel GFCI breaker to our spa was tripping, which we needed fixed.  They sent out an electrician who was working in the area to shut off the power at the spa.  He found the breaker and feed to the spa was not the issue.  The electrician was very nice, but said they cannot do anything more and recommended we call someone who specializes in hot tub repairs.  I was not aware they would not trouble shoot the electrical in the spa.  It took the electrician 5 - 10 minutes from arrival to do the test on the breaker, tell us they could not do anything more and leave.

They still charged the full $185 for the 5 to 10 minutes even though they could not fix it.  I manage commercial construction and know the rates for electricians and the cost for that call.  I was surprised they still charged the full amount even though it was such a short visit, they were not able to diagnose the issue and I still have to call out another repair service to get this fixed.  I mentioned this to them on the phone before they ran the charge, but they said we are just that good....

I would not recommend this electrician.  I gave two stars instead of one, since they were responsive and made the appointment within a few days of the request.

Update: There was no diagnosis over the phone.  We are located in Danville, not Dublin.  The spa is only 3 years old, not an older model and I am very aware of what an electrician does, I just did not expect a $185 service call fee for a 5 to 10 minute visit.

Jim went above the call of duty to install my new hot tub.  He stayed late and came over on Sunday, all to complete the challenging job on time.  He is extremely trustworthy and professional.  He also fixed some minor items in my house at no charge.  I highly recommend Jim for any electrical work.
