Berk's was referred to me by a friend. Extremely professional staff and they worked around my schedule. John was on time and quickly took care of my problem. I highly recommend Berk's Electrical. read more

Today I had Berk's Electrical & Lighting come to my home to install 7 recessed ceiling LED light retrofits with trim, to existing old light cans. Mike was the electrician. He did an excellent job. He worked his way through the job, paying attention to details, cleaning up as he went along. I live in a older home built in 1964. The old original cans and the popcorn ceiling made it a bit of a challenge. It all turned out great. Now I have much better light through out my house and that makes me so happy. Mike was respectful of my home, left the areas he worked in clean and a very nice guy. So thanks Mike and Berk's Electric , you made my day. read more

This is my 2nd project with Berk's. First was the 240 V, 50 Amp installation for my Tesla last year and the second another 240 V, 40 Amp circuit for an induction oven. Nabil and Chris were professional, clearly explaining the scope of their work. Workmanship was good, and they cleaned up as much as they could afterwards. We chose Berk because of the expertise, and they are local in Orange County, family owned, and BBB rated. read more

My bedroom outlets mysteriously went out so gave them a call. John, my tech, was out the next day. Barely took him an hour to trace my problem to a wire that came loose in another room. Also had an iffy circuit breaker in my panel and he swapped that out. Will call again next time I need electrical work. read more

I have used Berk's Electrical several times and am always pleased with the results. John was the most recent electrician to work at my house. He was very prompt and did a great job. And like everyone else that I have dealt with at Berk's, he is a very pleasant person. You can't go wrong with Berk's. read more

I called them out because I thought a switch which they had installed a number of years ago did not work. When the electrician got to my house he looked at the switch and pulled out a circuit breaker from under the switch which I was never told was there and that was the way to reset the light. They then charged me $195.00 for this "service". I had used them in the past to install all the recessed lighting in my 3500 sq. ft. house which was north of 5K dollars and reinstalling all my smoke detectors which was about 1.2k. After this episode I will never call them again and would recommend you don't either unless you want to be overcharged. read more

The electricians from Berk's were professional and courteous. I had them over to do a partial re-wire, and then run a circuit out to my garage, and later another for my pool filter and other equipment. They bent over backwards to try to save me money, but unfortunately they had to change the plans due to the shoddy work done by the previous owner of my house. The electricians onsite were able to work out a rapid estimate with their boss, and finish what I asked them to do. I would absolutely hire them again. read more

Knowledgeable, professional, and dependable. I've had them do several small things over the years (including correcting other people's work) and have always been happy. read more

I am employed by a large law firm in Orange County and have used Berk's Electrical on several occasions. Not only are they prompt and extremely professional, their knowledge is second to none. At the beginning of the year I had arranged a large project for new exterior/ interior signage that ended up being a huge undertaking. Without the assistance and guidance of Kyle and Nick the entire operation would have been an absolute disaster. They truly saved the day. The sign company made several errors during this process. Not only did Kyle and Nick complete the job they were hired for, they also were able to spot several and rectify mistakes that were made by the sign company in the process. In turn, they have become the only company we use and recommend. These guys are well recognized around the office and its always a pleasure to work with them. The entire staff is great, Kyle & Nick have been absolute all stars in our eyes and are completely trusted by both partners and staff. read more

I hired this company to install an exterior ceiling fan in a location which required a new box. Also had them check a plug on my Bar B Q which wasn't working. They did a decent job of installing fan and they replaced a plug. They charged $634 for the fan and $100 for checking and replacing a plug. Ok, but a little expensive I thought at time. Next day I tried new plug and it wasn't working. Also, a few days later the fan wasn't working. I asked them to come back and check work. Made first appointment and set aside afternoon and they didn't keep the appt. Had to call to make next appt, one guy shows up checks work, determines both items are working, problem with fan was a defective remote, plug has problem GFCI which I decided to replace myself. Guy calls his office and they decide to charge me another $125 for a "service visit". I understand being paid for your time, but he was there less than an hour and I already paid them over $700. I felt they were trying to gouge me. They are not interested in good service or in having repeat customers. Their only concern is charging you as much as possible. Technician knew I was very unhappy. Do you think I heard anything from the company after that, any attempt to have a satisfied customer? Nope. I would avoid this company and go with someone who really cares about customer service, repeat business and referrals. read more

Nick Delgado really took good care of us in our new home. I highly recommend him and Berk's Electrical!

We have had them out three times for different jobs. Their electricians are professional, knowledgeable and really capable. They fixed messes left by other contractors. I will use them again. read more

I hired Berk's Electrical & Lighting company to replace a light over my kitchen sink. They also checked out a fluorescent light, I was having problems with. A part was broken, so the electrician took it to see if he could replace the part. Unfortunately, he misplaced the part, so I would have to purchase a completely new fixture. Two days later, I get a call from Jeff. He said it was their fault, and that they would install a new light fixture at no cost to me! I was stunned! I was impressed! I realized then that I was working with a company that had both integrity and class! Thanks, Berk's Electrical! I will call you first for future electrical work! Susan L. read more

Five stars hands down! Guillermo went above and beyond, thank you Berk's Electrical!! We will definitely use your services & recommend Guillermo again! -Brennan and Kirsten read more

Specialized Marketing Services called in Berk's to move our battery chargers. Electrician Mike Pace came out to do the work. He was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks Mike for a great job. read more

I called Berk's electrical. They provided a quote by phone which is really nice. I really appreciated companies who do not charge for quotes. They respected their quote although the work was a little more complicated but because they did not inform me when they realized that it should cost more they did not add at the end. This is a family owned business and it shows. They respect their word. They are professional they did a great job. Will hire them again for more work. Definitely recommend. read more

Michael Alvarez was a great technician very knowledgeable, professional, and clean. Trouble shot some electrical outlets found the issue and made the appropriate repairs. The next time any electrical service is need, I will be sure to request Michael again. read more

We just bought a new home and needed help figuring out our GFCI outlets and how our house was wired. Walter is a great electrician and provided excellent service and fixed all our problems and gave us a lot of great advice for our upcoming kitchen remodel. We highly recommend Berk's Electrical - and ask for Walter! read more

I cant say enough positive things about my experience with Berk's Electrical. Lights were flickering in my house & things were constantly shutting down with a overloaded circuit. Nadine was so sweet on the phone and sent someone over that day I called within 1 hour. Mike and another gentleman came over, assessed the situation and knew what needed to be done immediately. They had to move our entire panel to the garage so they ripped into our walls and installed a whole new panel in the garage and put everything on its on breaker. We have had ZERO issues so far. Great price for all the work they did and they hustled on the project and were completed within 1 1/2 days. They were so nice and informative!! I would 100% recommend them again. They cleaned up everything nicely and even re-patched the walls so it looks like nothing happened. Thanks again! read more

They responded quickly and gave a great estimate. I will use them for jobs in the future.

My anxiety at the end of my visit with these guys and even after they left was at a super high level. I'm not one to get my feathers ruffled easily but seriously the way they try to squeeze money from you just makes you stare blankly at them and wonder to yourself "wow should I call the cops Bc they're robbing me to my face" So I setup an appointment on the phone to have a ceiling fan looked at. The ceiling fan only goes at a medium speed even though it has a high, medium, low setting. Clicking on any button, you'll hear the receiver click but the fan speed doesn't change. So I call and explain my situation to the operator and she says "there's a fee for coming out, it's $89 for the technician to inspect" so I'm like "uhhh ok so $89 for him to look at the problem and then quote work that he hasn't done yet?" I tell her I know visually what the problem is and will the tech measure voltage or has he seen this type of issue before or what will he actually check before giving me his suggestion? She just replies back that he's experienced. Experienced in what??? I decide to go forward hesitantly Bc I need help and I'm not sure of what else to do. Like I thought the tech comes out, I show them the issue in person and show him a working fan in another room. I give him some time and tell him to let me know. 10 minutes later he comes and says ok well it is either 1) the fan motor or 2) the fan remote's receiver... Ummmm duh?!?! I mean it's not the earth's gravitational pull or because solar flares exist. Obviously it's 1 OR 2. Even I know that. He then says, I'll have to dig deeper, I charge $149/first hour and $95/each hour after to look deeper. So now my choices are, pay this guy $89 for the 10 min of work he's done or have that waived and start the clock having him dig deeper at ridiculously high rates!!! Ok... I'm again stressed at my choices on how to get screwed. I choose to have him inspect the fan deeper and he prefAces by saying, "even if I dig deeper, if it's internal to the fan I can't do anything" and so I ask, what are you going to do then? (I keep thinking in my head if he's somehow testing systematically?!?! What is his strategy?!?!) So now I'm thinking, what if he just tears this fan apart and nothing is gained by it? And then he changes me for ripping it apart and finding nothing..... Ding ding ding that's exactly what happens when I check up on him 40 minutes later. He says the remote unit may or may it be working and he can take it with him to try and find a replacement, if that doesn't work the motor might need to be rewound... I ask the normal how much does that cost question and he says that depending on if I have deep pockets it could be anywhere from $500+ dollars to figure out the true issue. WTF! A new decent or even really nice ceiling fan +install isn't even that much... So I tell him to wrap it up and yeah let's go look to see if replacing the receiver will work. He then helps pack up the dismantled fan into a box I provide to him. He then takes a phone call with his boss and explains the situation. He then comes downstairs and says "yea my boss says you might as well replace the fan and we shouldn't move forward with the legwork to fix the problem ie. The receiver he's holding" so wait, you just spoke to your boss who told you to stop your current project? Ok.... So now the paperwork, he brings me the form he had me sign for the $149/first hr rate and in my head that's what I'm about to pay which already hurts Bc what has been accomplished here really for that rate? This guy has been in my house working on this issue and working (physically not looking at the issue but doing work) less than an hour. He then tries to charge me for almost 2 hrs of work. I'm like O_o!!!! Uhhh you only did an hour of work and he wants to charge me for the minute he walked in the door. No F@&kin way! You're charging me from shaking your hand, explaining the issue, showing you a working fan, taking a phone call with your boss, asking me to find you a box, talking to you about your opinions on how I should proceed!?!?! So what if you went into a monologue about the history of fans? And I politely listen, I'm supposed to pay for that? I told him no and now I'm like having issues not telling this guy how full of it he is. I tell him that he didn't explain the hourly charges until 4 time and now it's 5, I'm only paying an hour! I pay it and he leaves. I tell all my housemates who overheard the convos what a joke that company was. This is exactly why dealing with new handymen, contractors, plumbers, or service people etc makes people so worried and have to turn to yelp because they don't want get stuck dealing with money hungry do nothing companies who just get by by charging a ridiculous rates to stay afloat. Avoid these guys. My story could be your same story and my anxiety could be your anxiety. Unless you won the lottery and don't care about money... Don't get Played. read more

Awesome company! We hired Berk's Electrical to restore power to the outlets under the kitchen sink and in some of the rooms upstairs. Kyle arrived shortly after we made the call for service and much earlier than anticipated. He was very professional, polite and knowledgeable, explaining everything he was doing and why. This company's level of service definitely exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend them anyone!! read more

This is the best company ever. Time and time again they impress. Both Saxon and Anthony were onetime, knowledgable, quick, professional and personable. I would highly recommend! read more

Great company! We've had these guys come out twice over the last five years, always prepared to do the job with gear and supplies on hand. Reasonably priced, punctual, fast workers, high-quality results. read more

We had Berks Electrical come out a few times to do some work for us. The last time they came out was a few days ago and changed out an in the wall timer for us. He did a great job and we were very pleased with the job he did. We would use them again for any other jobs we might have. We would recommend Berks Electrical. read more

My fuse blew on my panel and my ac. Stopped working. They came out fast and fixed the problem. The guy was very nice and new what he was doing. I was very happy with the work. read more

From the call for request of service to the finish of project, the technician, Nabil Kattan, was terrific. He showed up, neat, clean shave, nice smile and had his mask on. Initially we wanted to have some exterior lights put up and hooked up to a timer. Our house was built in 1970 and the existing wiring was not to code. Because of this, Berk's did not want to work on the lighting, and we understood. Nabil discussed with us the process and suggestions relating to getting our wiring in the garage to code and we went forward with the job. He wrote out the estimate and along with that estimate had included the work to get our lights on the timer. It was a bit more than anticipated but we honestly would have had to rewire anyway if we ever wanted to sell the house. We are happy with his work, his demeanor, and his cleanup afterward. The owners are very nice too! Highly recommend this company! -- Julia B. read more

David Nguyen is great. He showed up on time. He is courteous and did a good job. Pricing was reasonable. Thanks.

Had them come out to check and replace a couple of plugs. David did an great job explaining what needed to be replaced and why, did the work pretty fast and was very nice. Definitely will be using them again and asking for David read more

Berks Electrical and Lighting were referred to me by my neighbor . I needed some new lighting as well as repairs to our bathroom and backyard outlets that were not working.Jeff their estimator came out and gave us some very good ideas about our lighting.While he was here he repaired our outlet problem for free by showing me that the button on our ground fault outlet in the garage needed to be pushed in.I can't say enough good things about this company,their work was fantastic,put plastic over the furniture and floors and now we have lighting in three rooms. I highly recommend them if ever you are in need of electrical work. read more

Needed an electrical line run for a ceiling fan. Contacted Berk's Electrical and found them very helpful. Judy was very pleasant and worked with me to get a ballpark price and time when the work could be done. Roman showed up EARLY, but waited for me to get home. He was pleasant, clean, knowledgeable and efficient. The work was done within budget and the end result was exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Berk's Electrical to anyone who needs a trusted and professional electrical job done. read more

I have used Berk's electrical for multiple jobs in our home. They are professional and have done an excellent job every time. Their rates are reasonable and they provided quotes prior. Highly recommended for the quality of their work. Guillermo and Jose were very professional and went above and beyond answering all of my questions and ensuring everything was exact. Their attention to detail was much appreciated. We will definitely use again for future electrical needs. read more

After taking the day off from work, arranging for the dogs to not be around and waiting the entire day I get not one but two telephone calls flippantly "telling" me I needed to reschedule for Monday because they mismanaged their time. After all the inconvenience and time wasted they should have at least offered to come after hours or on the week end for the usual price. I had to give up precious vacation time, I expect at least some respect in return. Hades will freeze over before I call this unprofessional company again. read more

We needed an electrical outlet for a big screen TV installed over a stone fireplace. Judy was able to get me a same day appointment. Roman was the electrician assigned to the job. He had to figure out how to get power from an upstairs bedroom, as there was no way to do it from a downstairs outlet due to the stone fireplace. When he finished installing the new outlet, you would have thought that it had always been there. He had to cut a small hole in the drywall in the upstairs bedroom to drill through a crossbeam. He replaced the drywall and plastered over it, leaving the wall with no damage. I did not think that electricians repaired drywall damage. I was very impressed with his knowledge and thoroughness, as well as his willingness to clean up after the job and repair any holes. I would not hesitate to use them again. read more

I went on Angie's list. Found 2 electricians I asked to come out to give me an estimate on installing a ceiling fan & check my fuses. I was very clear I wanted an estimate before I made a decision on who to hire for the job. Other company was cool with it. Berks expected me to just let the guy do the job. They didn't want to honor their 10% offer they have because I wanted the 2nd estimate before I decided on the job. Went with Berk's because the guy said he could do the job with much less damage to my walls. Two years later I'm paying the other guy to come out and fix what that guy did to my house. The switch he installed blew, causing my breaker to arc and go off. I specifically asked the Berk's electrician about how much was going thru that one fuse because it's an old house. Guy told me I had nothing to worry about. Lesson learned. If they try and renig in a deal & try to force you in to quick decisions, run like hell. read more

In October 2015 I had another electrician scheduled to repair some broken high voltage landscaping wire in my backyard and they finked out on me saying they didn't have time in their schedule after repeated calls from me. Since this was the second time they cancelled on me I gave up on them. I called Berke Electric and spoke to Mr. Berkowitz himself who came out to my house to review the work and provide me an estimate. They completed the work right away and gave a better price than the other electrician. In January 2016 I needed to have four non functioning outlets repaired. Berke came and repaired them and called me (I was out of town) every step to let me know their progress. They were very professional and dependable. I like that it's a family business because you feel like they really value the customer. read more

We have a house in Irvine and have used Berk's in the past on a couple of occasions. They do good work and was reasonably priced. Recently, we had a exterior light next to the garage door go out. So we called Berk's and asked for them to come out, without asking about fees as I trusted them to be fair. What a mistake!!! The problem was a simple ballast that needed to be replaced. The worker did not have one on his truck so he needed to come back. Bottom line, they charged 389 dollars for a 15 minute job. The charge included 65 dollars for the ballast part which i subsequently checked online- you can buy the ballast for 13 dollars. I feel that they grossly over charged me and I feel betrayed as a former customer who trusted them. They are qualified and do do good work- however, there are many good electricians who also charge reasonable rates- I recommend that you take the time and find one. read more

I had a ceiling fan issue and called for help. Ms. Judy was very helpful and they sent a technician within a couple of days! He took his time; evaluated what needed to be done; and suggested what I needed! I felt very comfortable with his professionalism and asked him to move forward with the project. BONUS: the initial evaluation fee is applied to the work when you decide to go forward; you can get a 10% discount by visiting their website; the tech who came to install what was needed went through the process with me; made DOUBLE SURE everything worked like it was supposed to and even volunteered to vacuum my carpet after he picked up the debri! Now: who does that ... well, that would be Berk's! Just like you need a good doctor; a good dentist; a good mechanic: You NEED BERK'S ELECTRICAL as part of your team. Reasonable prices; exceptional customer service; ....and everything works! love and hugs, cookie read more
