I highly recommend Francisco and his team. He responded quickly, provided a quote on the spot, and scheduled the work promptly. He came to install an outdoor outlet for my sprinkler system and noticed that another outdoor outlet had been installed incorrectly by a previous company. Without me even asking, he fixed it at no additional cost. What I appreciated most was the care they took in my home. They covered my furniture to protect it from dust and cleaned up thoroughly when the job was done. Professional, honest, and detail-oriented. I truly appreciate the extra effort and would definitely hire them again. read more

I needed to have a new wall-mounted porch light installed in a hurry after completion of the exterior paint job on my house. Several other electrical firms didn't respond at all, but luckily Francisco at Alameda Oakland Electrical took the call and jumped into action. His crew was working on a bigger job, leaving him free to take on a small project like mine. Francisco brought the additional timer mechanism I needed and completed the install beautifully in minutes. He knew what he was doing, efficient, professional, friendly, cleaned up the work site, and charged a reasonable price for a same-day service! The business is local to Oakland and family-owned. I appreciated the good customer experience and highly recommend Alameda Oakland Electrical Services! read more

We had AOE come over to replace a light fixture and install an EV charger. Francisco came to look at the work and gave a very competitive quote. He and his son were back a few days later to complete the job which they did in a short afternoon. They were quick and efficient and communicated regularly when we had questions. Would recommend them and use them again without hesitation. read more

Francisco came by on the same day I requested service. Professional and friendly, he even tried to help me troubleshoot my problem over the phone to save me the charge. He has over 30+ years of experience, and I appreciated how he explained things and went the extra mile with service. Highly recommended! read more

Alameda Oakland Electrical goes above and beyond. We needed to have a new electrical line pulled through an underground conduit and Francisco was the only electrician who was willing to try. Not only did he do it, but his overall service was top notch. Francisco is very friendly, collaborative, and answered every question that I asked (and I ask a lot of questions) Not only does Francisco do great work, he's an advisor that I trust. I recommend him and Alameda Oakland Electrical without reservation. read more

They came out to give an estimate on my knob and tub upgrade and then just never gave me the estimate. I waited two weeks and then called twice. Each time someone told me that the electrician would email me the estimate by the end of the day but they never did. Waste of time. read more

Francisco Sr and Jr were a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend them for their honesty and personable service, Their initial response included a simple price based on my description of the work to be done, which was appreciated. We didn't have to schedule an assessment or even call them to know what the price would be. They arrived promptly on time for our scheduled appointment and went right to work, quickly diagnosing the problem, which was clearly explained, and presented us with viable options; one to save some cost and the other to be extra safe for added peace of mind. For us, the peace of mind out weighed the extra $$. Overall, the job was completed on time with great results. An electrical issue is never good but they made it as easy as possible. We will definitely call them for any future needs. Many thanks! read more

I hired Alameda Oakland Electrical Services to remove my fan and install a ceiling light. They were friendly, human, kind, and very skilled! They did it quickly and perfectly, and with a friendly attitude. They are perfectionists. Thank you so much to Francisco Sr. and Jr.!!!! I will def hire them for all future electrical needs. read more

Francisco and his team did a fantastic job replacing the knob-and-tube wiring and upgrading lighting in our 100 year-old Berkeley home. Everyone on the team was friendly, flexible, professional, and all-around great to work with. The work was done quickly, with a minimum of mess, and in such a way as to inconvenience us as little as possible. I would 100% work with them again. read more

I would highly recommend Francisco. He was very responsive, offered exceptional customer service, and explained everything he was doing in a way that was easy for me to understand. I am confident that my family will continue to work with this business in the future. read more

I had an awesome experience with Francisco of alameda Oakland Electrical from start to finish!!! I called for a quote and was given an appointment for the quote, that's when I met Francisco who was very friendly and courteous, I showed him the area where I needed a 240 plug installed and he suggested installing it closer to where the dryer was being installed which I hadn't thought of. The quote he gave me was very reasonable. I accepted and got an appointment - Francisco and crew came and installed the plug and wiring were very professional and did an excellent job. I was very pleased with their work and will definitely use them for all my future electrical work. Thank you Alameda Oakland Electrical - Francisco and crew!!! read more

I just want to thank Alameda Oakland Electrical for the amazing customer service. A young lady helped me over the phone and she was so kind. We even had a little laugh. Francisco was quick about getting a part I needed for a discontinued breaker. He was so helpful and understanding of our needs. Would love to work with them again. read more

I am a homeowner in San Leandro who bumped into Francisco in line at the electrical supply company. I told him that I was upgrading my main electrical panel. He asked me a few questions about my main panel upgrade and then proceeded to ask more questions based on my answers. He then told me a few things about what the building inspectors will expect to see for a safe installation. He said that they will require electrical bonding at the water heater, and I definitely would have failed my inspection without that information. He also told me that I needed a fire and carbon monoxide alarm in each room, which I then bought and installed. He then told me that I needed to purchase a surge suppressor and told me which one to buy that will work with my panel make and model. By the time I got up to the cash register I ordered the recommended parts, and left with everything I needed to pass the electrical inspection the next day! Francisco is a pro who knows electricity, and what building inspectors want to see for safe installations. But he is also a great guy with a good heart and the ability and character to help a random person in line. I can never thank him enough, and I will definitely use this company whenever any electrical work is beyond my ability to do safely. Thanks again! read more

Francisco and team are fantastic, friendly, and reliable. Thanks for helping me out of a tough spot! I called on a Friday afternoon the day before an appliance was being delivered, and they were able to come out and install the electrical outlet I needed. They also noticed an issue with one of my breaker boxes and fixed it for me. I'd happily recommend Francisco to a friend, and I hope to work with this team again! read more

They were amazing. We had lost power to many places in our house thanks to a very incompetent 'handyman' and many places we called couldn't come for weeks. This company responded within two days, fixed everything, updated some very old outlets, and explained everything that was going on. Very reasonably priced for the work and very friendly. Thanking them so much and recommending them to anyone who needs electric work done. read more

Thank you Alameda Oakland Electrical!! Francisco and his team are fantastic! We needed an EV charger installed. When I had contacted a variety of other places, it was always "send me pic" - frustrating when you aren't sure what they want. Francisco came out quickly with no up front cost to assess our current electrical panel, asked what we wanted and where we wanted the charger installed, suggested options for EV chargers to buy, and provided free estimates for set ups for plug-in charger vs hardwired. His quote was reasonable, and cost of permit was part of it. We were able to schedule the work to be done relatively quickly, and the job went quickly and smoothly. He was able to help set up the software settings for our Emporia Pro. AOE also helped facilitate county inspection. I am so happy with his work! Francisco readily responded to questions and made sure we were happy with everything. I completely understand why they have so many 5 star reviews! I would highly recommend AOE and will be using them in the future for any electrical needs and have already referred him to friends. Thank you AOE! read more

Me & my husband have been dealing with weird power fluctuation issues in our house for a while, it's an old house that had some questionable maintenance and upgrades in the past. We've had a few electricians around to do work, but nothing ever seemed to fix the underlying issue. Francisco was able to diagnose a serious problem within 30 minutes of being at our house, which other electricians should have been able to see. It took a little while to get done, but that's just the nature of dealing with Oakland/PG&E. Francisco came over even when work was delayed due to weather conditions (PG&E delay) to get some work done before the final fix to speed things up. My biggest worry was that dealing with this subpanel (which we 100% had to deal with regardless) wasn't going to fix our overarching power fluctuation issues, but we've had no problems with it since! After living with it for four years we finally found someone who was able to diagnose and fix the problem and I can run my toaster oven without all the lights in my house flickering as if we have ghosts. Super happy with the work done (they also cleaned up a mess of old wires and conduits that were driving us crazy). Definitely worth the money spent to have some peace of mind our power issues are fixed. Also was lucky enough to meet Francisco's very cute dog that waited with him for PG&E in his car. 10/10 would hire again. read more

Found Alameda Oakland Electrical Services in the yelp reviews. I called for an appt and Francisco came over to review the scope of work which was to add electrical plugs in the water closet areas in 2 bathrooms for Toto bidet seats. We agreed to his estimate and scheduled the work for today. Francisco and Daniel did a great job. The plugs are perfectly placed for the electrical requirements as well as tucked away out of eye view. They cleaned up the 2 work sites before leaving and it was always easy to work with them. We highly recommend them for your electrical needs. read more

Francisco was great - incredibly responsive and a really nice guy. He was very quick to swing by our house and get us a quote, managed to fit us into his schedule (knowing that until his work got done, we wouldn't get hot water to our house), and even came back twice, once to make the final electrical connection to our newly installed water heater, and again to trouble shoot a separate issue. His guys were professional and courteous and did a great job cleaning up after they installed electrical wiring from A to B in our house. Will absolutely work with Alameda Oakland Electrical again! Big thanks! read more

Francisco and his team were quick to diagnose the problem (a burnt out breaker), get replacement parts fast, and even tuned up our other breaker. They double check their work, and make sure everything's good to go. I would absolutely recommend Alameda Oakland Electrical for any electrical issues, and I know who to call if I have any issues in the future. read more

Francisco and his team (Victor and Robert did the job at my house) are amazing! They're efficient, honest, reasonably priced and do solid work. Plus they were super neat and cleaned up completely after they left. Will use again whenever we need electrical work done. Highly recommend!!! read more

Alameda Oakland Electrical did a great job fixing my garage light today. They were punctual, very professional, fast, and knowledgeable, and the work was done cleanly. Communication was clear from start to finish, and everything was explained well. I'm very satisfied with the service and would definitely recommend them. read more

Francisco came by a few weeks back to check out my the area I wanted to have my EV wall charger installed in my garage. He determined it would work after looking at my main electrical panel. He knew the new breaker size requirement plus the job would include getting the necessary permit. The price was reasonable and an estimate was later emailed for me to sign off on. Fast forward to today, Francisco came by and worked his electrical skills to install the new breaker and run the wiring to the desired location. A while later, the job was done and the EV wall charger was installed and powered on, ready to set up. He was tidy and everything was left neat afterwards. The professional labeling of the breakers was the finishing touch. I'm keeping Alameda Oakland Electrical Services on my go-to list for the next time I need electrical work done. I recommend the friendly and efficient Francisco for your electrical project. This company is a locally-owned business as well and that's a plus! read more

It was the name that drew me to Alameda Oakland Electric. I wanted to support local family-owned businesses. Francisco, the owner, was friendly, warm, and connected with me through our shared community, dogs, kids, and sports. My 1948 house needed an upgrade on the main and sub panels. One company insisted on installing the main panel in front of the house for the permit to be approved, which would not be aesthetically pleasing. But I'm glad I went with AOE because Francisco was able to find solutions with the city's approval to install the main panel on the side of the house. I also had shorts in several parts of the house that was fixed and a Tesla charger installed. Francisco was fair in his pricing and explained everything in layman's terms that I could understand, was very thorough in his work, and communicated with me updates in between the projects. I would recommend AOE to my neighbors, friends, and family. read more

I have had several fantastic experiences with Alameda Oakland Electrical. They were always communicative, prompt and respectful while working on our projects. We've had them troubleshoot old wiring, install new circuits with gfci, and install nest cameras. Their prices are reasonable and they never try to upsell on hardware or services. I plan to work with them on future projects. . read more

I never knew how important an electrician was until I needed one, fast. We basically had an external outlet that burned through after a storm--it was dangerous to turn on the breaker in a big part of our house. We couldn't find any electrician who could come out within 24 hours to our area. Fortunately, we found Frankie. You can read our story below. But, the main point is Frankie was professional and knowledgeable. And another plus for me is that he could clearly explain what was wrong, what needed to be done asap and what needed to be done long term. Our story: After a few power outages back to back due to an ongoing storm, the light came on and we all thought it was fine. We finally sat down to have dinner when we started to smell something like burning plastic and gasoline accumulating in the master bedroom. We couldn't locate the source or see any smoke, no visual of anything wrong anywhere. Long story short, the fire department came and the crew was also dumbfounded, but everyone was persistent and after some time, the source of the problem was located. We found that the outlet in the external wall of the house and its wires had burned through inside the wall connecting to our bedroom. The box was totally fried! The firefighter said it was dangerous to use any light in that room, given how messed up the wiring was, along with the fried box and wires. We turned off the breakers and stayed at a hotel that night and frantically looked for an electrician and Frankie was one of the few that responded, but the only one who could come out right away. He came by quickly and fixed the outlet, explaining clearly what he was doing every step of the way. He even did extensive testing to help us better understand which outlets were connected to which circuit breakers and even helped us come up with a long term plan to reconfigure our light switches in a way that makes more sense for our household. It's always been a guessing game for us which lights will turn on or off in a given room when the switch is flipped--so you can imagine the frustration when testing out whether a light bulb was out or we just hit the wrong switch. We plan to have Frankie come back, assess the rest of the wiring in the house and have it fixed once and for all. read more

Alameda Oakland Electrical Services - The external outlet that was burned through inside the wall now fixed! - Electricians Near Me

Francisco thank you sir for helping me in a time of need! It's so hard to find knowledgeable, trustworthy and affordable trades people these days which makes me so thankful I found Francisco. I was doing some remodeling of my home and attempted to do the electrical too. Why not! Well that was a bad idea. I ended up with wires hanging from the wall, caps and electrical tape everywhere along with missing plugs and plates. It was chaos. I found Francisco through and gave him a shot. He showed up, checked the situation out, came down dripping sweat and covered in insulation and gave me the bad news. I knew it was going to be a lot of work but he walked me through everything that needed to be done and gave me what I thought was a more than fair price. I really appreciated his commitment and friendliness. I approved the job and he showed up the next week on time and hit the ground running. The entire day went by and Francisco did not stop. He had the parts needed and absolutely knocked my headache of a project out the park! Everything was completed on time, within budget and cleaner than when he showed up. I can't thank you enough for for helping me out in a pinch! And best of luck to you with your new business. read more

Highly recommend if you need a trusted electrician in the Bay Area. I live in Oakland, CA. Frankie & his team were extremely responsive and immediately came out for a quote.
