Their work, professionalism, creativity, and attitude were well beyond what I expected. Bahaa not only knew his stuff, he took the discussion I had with my wife about the location and mounting of the charger and made it to where everyone was happy. He was super personable and had a great attitude towards us as customers as well as towards his craft. I felt they were a great value for the service they performed and made sure everything went together well and cleaned up afterwards. They take great pride in their work and Bahaa made sure the charger cord was neat and tidy even though it would not be seen behind my toolbox! Bahaa explained everything he was doing along the way and the thought process behind it. The work was done incredibly efficiently and he was done in half a day. Don't just go for anybody when it comes to your home. I'm convinced that you cannot beat this company in how they get the work done.

I recently hired Boyes Electric for two major projects at my home: replacing my subpanels last fall…read moreand, more recently, installing a new main electrical panel and a Level 2 EV charger. Both experiences were outstanding. From start to finish, their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and customer service. The technicians were extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and easy to work with. They took the time to answer questions, explain the work being performed, and ensure everything was completed correctly. What impressed me most was their responsiveness and attention to detail. Communication was prompt throughout the process, scheduling was straightforward, and the work was completed efficiently. The crew treated my home with respect, kept the work area clean, and thoroughly cleaned up when the job was finished. Their pricing was fair and reasonable, especially considering the quality of workmanship and service provided. It's becoming increasingly rare to find contractors who consistently deliver on all fronts, but Boyes Electric exceeded my expectations every time. I would not hesitate to use them again for future electrical projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and customer-focused electrical contractor. If you're looking for top-notch electrical work backed by excellent service, Boyes Electric is an easy five-star recommendation.

From Sal coming to provide a quote to them managing Berkeley's permitting regime to making sure everything is done to the strict code, they did everything well with great communication and avoided delays for my plaster and paint crew to start on time. Would highly recommend this crew and would love to work with them in the future for any of our need.

I finally called Kirby Electric and spoke with Adam. He was so helpful and wanted to trouble shoot with me over the phone before coming out and incurring fees.

We're in an old house that's needed electrical work on more than one occasion (full panel rewire,…read moreshorted external power, EV charger install). We've always used Kirby - Adam and his team have handled all of the issues with speed, professionalism, and most importantly, honesty. Most recently, the lights throughout our house were flickering and outlet voltages were all over the place so of course I called Adam. He picked up immediately, diagnosed the issue over the phone as a PGE issue, and gave me instructions on who to call and what to tell them so we could get the repair done for free. PGE came out and sure enough Adam was right - problem solved! Kirby is our go-to for any electrical work; I can't recommend them enough!

Here's a fun story:…read more On Sunday, May 24th, I replaced a lightbulb in a standing lamp in my bedroom and tried to turn it on. It didn't go on. I discovered that about 2/3 of my outlets and lights weren't working. I flipped switches on my electrical panel multiple times; power was not restored. I called Five or Free, went through a screening with an AI assistant, and got through to Chloe, a dispatcher/scheduler (i.e. not an electrician) clearly working from home, with a baby in the background. Chloe was sweet and helpful and got me an appointment on Tuesday, May 26th. I had to take the 2:00-4:00 slot (I work mornings), canceling a tutoring session to do so. This was my choice, of course, but I did want to get lights and internet working in my home. The electrician was a no-show on Tuesday. Soon after 4 PM (the outer end of the window), I called Chloe (again the AI rigmarole first); she apologized. She said that there'd been a miscommunication and that the electrician had gone to another job. I asked if he could come to me next -- despite it probably being outside of the electrician's working hours -- since it was Five or Free's mistake; she said no, contritely. She set up a visit for the next day. Electrician Tommy Wilson came on Wednesday, May 27th, checked the electrical panel, noticed that one breaker was loose, and said that he or another electrician would need to come on a different day and conduct a more involved inspection, probably going into the garage and checking out the panel therein. He did a write up of the issue and showed it to me (but didn't email it to me, as I later discovered). He said he'd contacted the scheduler and gotten me an appointment for Friday, May 29th, and that I'd need to pay $475 up front, which I reluctantly did. After the second inspection, Tommy explained, the electrician would give me an estimate -- in other words, the $475 was just the base fee; there could potentially be an additional charge depending on the nature of the problem and the scope of work required to repair it. I got stood up yet again on Friday the 29th and called another electrician, JC Electrical Repair Services. Juan Carlos (JC) squeezed me in on Saturday morning before his other appointments. He whooshed in, identified the problem (a standing lamp that needs to be retired), replaced the loose breaker, let me confirm that all lights and outlets were now working, gave me a safety recommendation (a space heater I'd been using was too powerful for my circuits and thus dangerous to use), and tightened all the screws on the electrical panel, noting that any electrician should do that during a visit regardless of the purpose of the visit. He did all of this over the course of about 25 minutes. Later on Saturday, Vincent from Five or Free called. (He had called a few days earlier to check in.) He apologized profusely, explaining that they were short-staffed and stretched thin. He mentioned that they'd hired an electrician who's in the military; this fellow had recently been called to active duty, leaving them an electrician short. I noted that I had actually missed out on income twice, canceling a tutoring session on Tuesday because I needed to book the 2PM-4PM window, then doing so again on Friday for the same reason, and was out $160 as a consequence. Vincent again apologized and said that my payment ($475) would be refunded, emphasising the need to wait 3-5 business days before the refund would go through. I explained that because the charge was still pending, I couldn't yet dispute it. (I will check my credit card activity every day until this is resolved.) Conclusion: Five or Free is a terribly-run company, understaffed and with too many parties attempting to coordinate with one another. It also hires less-than-competent electricians. JC Alameda Electrician Services, on the other hand, rocks. It's just one electrician, I think: Juan Carlos Curisinche Gonzales, 510 828-4993. Give him a call if you need an electrician in Alameda County.
