Best Residential Services in San Jose CA

I've used Volts 3 times now, and they are my go-to guys for electrical work.

Most recently, I needed to have power run for a new electric water heater that was going to replace my old gas one. My plumbers would handle the heater and gas-line capping etc., but I needed to get an electrician to handle the supply and the disconnect switch etc.

Sounds like no big deal - except when it came to the schedule. I already had a  roof replacement scheduled, so wanted the old gas heater removed within 4 days so that we could remove the flue before the new roof was laid (no point having an unnecessary hole in a brand new roof!). Next - I didn't have the spec's on the new electric heater yet (to know its power requirements), so I was asking Matt to work with unknowns, and do it a couple of weeks sooner than his original availability date.

Matt went out of his way to help me ;  his guys turned up an hour ahead of our plumbers, and worked seamlessly with the plumbing company to ensure that everything went unbelievably smoothly - all whilst maneuvering around the debris flying off the roof as our roofers arrived at the same time and started ripping the old shingles off !

Thank you Matt, for how incredibly flexible and helpful you and your guys were.

Jason was amazing! He showed up on time for my recessed lighting conversion. He tried different ways to make my old lighting fixture work with the trims that we bought. He was thorough and efficient. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable and reasonable electrician.
Thanks Jason!

We had these guys come in and install some hand dryers in various locations around our shop. They were on-time, quick, and did an excellent job. Highly recommend.

Minh did a phenomenal job installing recess lights in 2 of our rooms (4lights in each room).   The workmanship and sincerity of this business deserve a special mention.   He installed dimmers in each room, and simply swapped out the switch panels from current 3 to 4-- so the new light switch integrates with the existing switch panel without oddly showing an extra one.   The thing that impressed us the most that we were not left with any 'holes' in our dry walls after the job was done-- Minh did an excellent job optimizing entry behind the wall and in the ceiling that he did not have to cut out any extra holes in the walls.  The team brought all hardware, covered all our furniture, stairs and flooring before they started work.

I would undoubtedly call Minh for any of our future electrical needs.  

Oh by the way, price is very reasonable in comparison to other businesses that do similar work (and leave holes in the walls).

Called this morning to schedule an appointment for problems I was having with my GFI socket. He refused to come out!  Instead he told me what to look for and common mistakes people make installing those sockets. He told me that he wanted to save me the service charge but to call him back if I was still having problems. Well I got home and followed his advice and fixed it!  He was 100% correct.  Absolutely looking out for the customer!  Thanks Formosa!

I had an issue after a sub par AC repair person who was stumped and recommended I call an electrician. Duke was able to come out in less than 2 hours and fix the problem in no time. He even made a trip to the hardware store and kept the pricing extremely fair. I couldn't be happier with his extra effort in making sure he did not leave until I was 100% satisfied (even though it was well after 5pm which I really appreciated). There is no doubt Duke will be my first call next time I need something and I have already recommended him to a friend. Thank you Duke!

I highly recommend California Power & Light Corp.  Henry was referred to me by a good friend after I had a terrible experience with a contractor I had engaged through Home Advisors.

Our front porch lights (3 in total) had sort of stopped working; one worked, but the other two didn't.  I didn't think it would be a complicated issues, so contacted Home Advisors and set up a fixed price appointment.  The contractor they sent was here for several hours and couldn't fix the issue.  He made a mess of the area he worked in and I couldn't understand 90% of what he said.

Henry and his team were here for under an hour, found the issue, explained everything to me in a way that I could understand it and fixed all the issues.

Henry and his team were prompt, professional and very efficient.  I highly recommend them for any of your electrical needs.

Called on a Thursday to have to 2 ceiling fans installed.  Quick call back and Adary arrived Friday AM at 8:30.  Very pleased with the immediate response.  Freemon was great, cordial and very efficient.  found out a SMHS alum as I am, so great to see locals serving the mid peninsula so well,  Thank you Adary Electric!

Fast, professional, and they actually returned my calls! We needed to get a couple ceiling fans installed, one in each bedroom. I thought 6 weeks would be enough time, but I wasn't having any luck getting any electricians to call me back. I used the Yelp feature where it will reach out for me. Electric Heroes was one of the fastest to contact me. I sent them photos got a quote and Alex was out within the quoted time to do the works. He was so fast, professional and polite. Will be contacting them again if we need anything else done. Thank you!

After several unreturned calls from other electricians, I headed to Yelp to look for someone reliable.  I found that reliable electrician in Dan. He returned my message within the hour and I was on his schedule in a day.  He is knowledgeable, professional, and very reasonably priced.  He came to fix two outlets, but helped us with much more.  He will be our electrician in the future.  I highly recommend him.

Excellent service from E Chi Bon Electric. Jim is very friendly and quick on answering my questions for installation of NEMA 14-50 plug as well as replace my old sub-panel. Price is reasonable and Jim his coworker Garry went extra miles to help us install the pass through from garage to drive way for charging cables. The installation process was fast and clear, no extra wires or clear up needed once they are done. My parents were very pleased with the results, highly recommended his service and will contact him again if future projects come up.

I contacted multiple electricians when I smelled burning smoke from an outlet. Fast Handy was the only one available to send someone out the same day. Their electrician showed up about and 2 hours past the window, which was ok since this was a last minute service call and the office did call me to let me know he was running late.

To make a long story short, the electrician left an hour later without getting to the root of the problem because he was feeling very sick. He told me he would come back the following day to finish the job but he did not show up the following day. I called the office and was told he called in sick and they were not sure when he would return.

I immediately started panicking because the electrician did not wear a mask the entire time he was inside my house. When he arrived at my house he told me he was vaccinated so he didn't need to wear one even though I told him that I have an elderly mom with compromised immune system. He only told me he had a bad headache all day after he spent an hour in my house.

He was a nice guy but I was very upset that he chose not to wear a mask when he wasn't feeling well all day. I was mad at myself for not insisting that he wear one. Luckily I had my mask on the entire time and had my mom stay at my sister's until my covid test results came back negative.

I ended up going with another electrician to finish the job because they could not tell me when they would be able to send someone else out.

I've had David and his son compete two jobs for me.  One was a big job.  I hired him to  install garden lights both in front and in back of my house. The second time I hired him to install a large ceiling fan in our family room..  And, when I recently had a problem with one of my garden lights, they came out and fixed it at no charge.

I can't say enough good things about David, his son and their work.  The work was impeccable.  There were completely reliable and a pleasure to work with.  David's  prices are  reasonable.   I'm so glad we found him.  It is great knowing that I have a reliable and fair electrician that I can count on.

P.S.  I referred David and his son to a friend who was equally impressed..

Mikhail is very helpful and friendly too. He identified and repaired the problem in no time. Highly recommended!

Caio was fast to respond and very pleasant to deal with. Sadly, after finishing the job the outlet was still not functioning properly and despite several promises of coming back to check on it, he never did. I am now $200 out of pocket and still in my original situation, an outlet I can not use.

Carlos did a great job of relocating a subpanel for me. It was located in a loft in the gararge and I wanted brought down to Garage wall. I'm not as young as I used to be, so getting up in the loft to access a tripped breaker is going to only get more difficult. If you want an honest and responsive electrician Velo Electric is who to call.

I cannot say enough good things about Mike from Courtesy Electric.
He was completely professional throughout the entire process. His communication with me by text after making the appt. was prompt. He was on time. He explained everything to me as he went along. He successfully did a trouble shoot of my issue and corrected it all in one hour.
I highly recommend him and his company.

Words cannot express how happy we are with the phenomenal service and results we received from General Electric Services (Edwin and Hormus). We recently moved to San Jose and spent about two weeks trying to find the perfect electrician for the job. We came across GES and scheduled an appointment; they arrived early and were able to give us a quote and schedule our appointment for installation within 30 minutes! We had recessed lights, recessed outlets, smart switches, ceiling fans and a chandelier installed. They were very very professional, clean, friendly and courteous. We truly had a 5 star experience!

We called DV Electric to look at a circuit that was shutting off for an unclear reason. Nhan came out only a couple hours later and took his time trying to diagnose the source of the problem, which ended up being an unexpected loose connection in the circuit box that could have ended up being a major problem down the road. He explained everything thoroughly and was very honest about not seeing any other urgent needs.

Ultimately, our issue was solved, future trouble was averted, and we got an honest assessment of our current circuit box; all at a reasonable price. Thank you Nhan and DV Electric!

Update:
Mike contacted me real quick and seems the invoice mail got lost. Mike was able to resend and finally I received it! Thank you Mike for the quick response and great work!

------------------------------------
Mike did a majority good work, and replied fast in the beginning, the reason to give 3 stars is because he didn't send me a final invoice after the job has finished for ~2 months and after many times reminders.  Still waiting..
