Can't speak highly enough of Henry from California Power and Light! Our outlets went out in one room of our home. He was able to quickly come out, access the situation and complete the job all within an hour. It wasn't a typical issue. But backed by his 30 years of experience he was able to troubleshoot and pinpoint the problem area quickly. He was professional and friendly. This is our second time getting his assistance. Happy to know his been a Morgan Hillian for over a 20 years. Thank you, Henry! read more

Henry and his team did an excellent job installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet to enable EV charging. They were responsive when I first reached out, I got an appointment quickly, and the job was done well. They explained everything simply before they started and everything went smoothly from there. Would work with them again. read more

Henry came out the day called. He gave me a very reasonable quote and finished the job when he said he would. He and his workers were very friendly and cleaned up when done. I highly recommend read more

California Power & Light owner Henry and team have done four separate jobs for us. Henry is polite, responsive and answers the phone (if not he responds very quickly). His team is on-time, respectful, polite, clean, and made several suggests with our lighting that worked beautifully! Henry's pricing is reasonable and transparent. Henry's hands on personal approach was a welcome relief! Jobs included installation of a ceiling fan (16' ceiling), 4 - 4" spotlights in soffit w/ electrical outlet, bathroom flat light over shower (because stud position would not allow canned light), and additional bathroom lights. Highly recommend. Dana read more

Henry Acosta did an upgrade of our main electrical panel with a new 200 amp meter combo at the existing location. He handled permits and inspection too. Everything was at what we considered a reasonable price the South Bay Area. When we asked for references he immediately gave us three names and numbers from recent jobs. All three we called were happy to give very high recommendations. Henry was pleasant, respectful, and trustworthy. He spoke both English and Spanish fluently. His workers were also first-rate. Everything was done on time and all communication went without a hitch. Every question was answered in detail and patiently. read more

During the recent PG&E blackouts in October, my electrical main panel fo my 1955 house was experiencing breaker issues where it interrupted service - it kept tripping on and off. I called around for an electrician and I finally connected with Henry at California Power & Light. He came by within 45 minutes after the call and he showed up at 10 PM at night when I told him that I did not have power (my house only). He was able to assess the problem and he fixed it. Yay!!! I later called Henry back to eventually replaced and upgrade the entire electrical main panel - I had an old panel that didn't support the power output for the home, which I knew when I bought the home in 2015. Henry was my guy to do the job - he installed an new electrical panel and he also managed with the permit process and final inspection with the City from beginning to end. My advice: Unless you're a knowledgeable and certified electrician--don't mess with anything beyond the basics in order to save money or cut corners. For any kind of electrical rewiring, tinkering with an electric panel or installing new fixtures...definitely call a pro. If you do, then call Henry at California Power & Light. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

I had the main electrical panel upgraded / replaced today in my home in Sunnyvale. I am very happy with what was completed in 5 hours including PG&E disconnect and reconnect, wiring, water proofing, stucco finish, and city inspection. Now we have 200A service with solar ready Square D panel and breakers (quality product). I can't say enough good things about Henry and his crew. The whole process was painless and well prepared. Henry took the information and deposit and got the permitting and parts ready for today. Highly recommend C.P.L. (Henry). read more

Because I bought an in-home sauna that required a dedicated circuit, I checked on Yelp for an electrician with great reviews and CP&L arrived within a few days during a busy holiday schedule for all involved. When Henry's team arrived at the appointed time, we discussed the dedicated circuit and upgrading our 40+ year old panel AND the possibility of not upgrading our panel saving us a few thousand dollars, In the end, it was our choice and we decided to upgrade with the idea that we would add electrical to the backyard project that may not happen in my life time. Yes, the electrical project cost more than the sauna, but it was in my mind, a pay now or pay later situation. After the estimate of a panel upgrade, permit, stucco repair, and dedicated circuit, I decided to contract with CP&L and paid the 10% deposit. After the estimating team left, Henry called to schedule the job a week out which gave me time to assemble the sauna and clear the space for it and apply for a new credit card which would give me much needed miles/points. Before the job, Henry notified me that my power would be out for the day and that his team would need access to the crawl space which was no problem. I have been down this road before. Although it took a week for the inspector to come out to give the stamp of approval, I was able to use the sauna as soon as the electrical work was done which took less than a day. The CP&L team was professional, courteous, and conscientious. Above all, Henry was gracious and patient in waiting for my new credit card to arrive! Thank you. I am extremely happy with the work. read more

California Power & Light - Panel Upgrade - Electricians Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Henry and his team are the BEST!! Highly recommend. They are communicative, honest, professional, prompt and some of the nicest dudes you'll ever meet. They completed a full electrical panel upgrade on our 20+ year old panel that was burning out so that we could install solar panels on our roof. They also installed two ceiling fan boxes and the fans themselves in our kid's rooms and did an awesome job. We had a series of not-so-great contractors come through our house to do a bunch of work, and felt that these guys are a breath of fresh air by comparison. They will remind you of your favorite uncle who always has your back. I'm hiring them for all my electrical work and telling everyone we know that they need to hire these guys to do any and all electrical work. read more

Henry's crew of John & Evan were prompt on arriving and were able to complete the job in a timely manner. The issue was caused by our contractor during the construction of our new kitchen. The issue could have caused a fire and John & Evan corrected the problem. We will be contacting the contractor with pictures of poor workmanship. Thanks to John & Evan for making our home safe. Another good experience with California Power & Light. read more

I avoid hiring contractors like the plaque so giving this 5 star review says a lot about CPL. I have an old Zinsco electric panel which needed to be upgraded in order for me to install heat pumps for the upcoming heat wave. Henry, the owner was responsive, informative and extremely price competitive. He and his crew, including the stucco contractor (A+) were punctual, professional and fast. I added several items to the job up to the date of the job and he worked with me through the changes without any issues. I have also contacted him a dozen times throughout the process and he would always promptly call me back whether it was the weekend, day or evening. I would highly recommend Henry and his crew and consider CPL the go-to team for all my future electrical needs. read more

Had an old interior sub panel that frankly, creeped me out. Had CPL replace it, and the replacement was like art; just super clean and professionally done. At the same time, they chased down a number of other nagging safety issues and resolved all of them quickly. Punctual, extremely friendly crew, and the work area was cleaner after they left than when they arrived. Very responsive on the phone, competitive and affordable pricing. Easy to see why they're rated as highly as they are; they show up, diagnose quickly, the quote is clear, and they knock it out. Highly recommended. read more

California Power and Light is our partner in anything we need repaired or new construction. Henry Acosta is always responsive to our calls and in fact this past weekend we had issues with our home shutting down several times over 3-4 days. The main breaker (100a) was warm to the touch and Henry who was overbooked Monday came to our house first to see if the Breaker was the main issue. It was and in 10 minutes were not only back online but stayed that way with his diagnosis. The breaker is now cool to the touch and we are a very happy client of California Power and Light. Thanks again, Henry! Steve read more

Henry and his team provide an outstanding service. They replaced my main and sub panels and the entire process was seamless. They coordinated with PG&E and the City to obtain all the required permits. I would highly recommend hiring California power & light for any of your electrical needs. read more

They did a great job installing our new electric panel to replace a 60 year old one. It was not a simple job and they came up with a solution none if the other bidders suggested that saved many thousands of dollars and permit headaches. Excellent all around. read more

Highly recommend California Power & Light! Henry was wonderful to work with from beginning to end of the job. His logo says it all...Friendly, Quality and Affordable....all true. Thank you Henry and team for putting up our new LED lights! We love them!! read more

Talked with Henry yesterday and his appointment at my house was to be between 3 and 4 p.m. today! Here it is after 6 p.m. and with several calls to his establishment, there hasn't been "ANY" return calls to me! I've been waiting all day for what I believe is a short in my wall, (my neighbors had a short and the house caught fire), But this seems to be of "NO" concern to henry,(a small h for a small man), and to and Calif. Power & light! If this vendor had any miniscule amount of professionalism, someone could have at least called and said he couldn't make it today and would be out tomorrow! I can no longer support this type of unprofessionalism and wish others to consider, (better), vendors that this!! read more

Henry offers unmatched pricing and service. He is honest, very knowledgeable, and stands behind his work 100%. I wouldn't use or trust anyone else. read more

Called Henry at CPL, based on a recommendation from a friend, to extend 240V service in my garage and to replace an unsafe panel. He immediately made time for me to come over to the house and discuss options. Henry was very knowledgeable and helped me figure out what I needed. He explained how his team would take care of my project and gave me a fair quote. Once I said yes he arranged for his crews to show up within days. The work was done in one day without any issues. Henry's team of workers was very polite and efficient. They did a great job of cleaning up after themselves. I have another project coming up and I won't hesitate to call CPL to help me. I highly recommend California Power and Light for residential electrical needs! read more

So glad to find a reputable electrician!! I've been trying for weeks to get an electrician (called multiple electricians/companies) to do a small job. Most wouldn't return my call and one agreed to to the work but kept pushing out the work date. Was referred to California Power & Light. I made one call, Henry (the owner?) answered, provided a reasonable estimate range over the phone. He called me the next day to schedule his team. One day later the his guys showed up on time, completed the job in less than 2 hours, were professional and cleaned up when finished. I highly recommend Henry and his team!!! read more

They are great! I have been looking for a good electrician and am so happy to have found Henry and his team. They were prompt, helpful and did great work. I definitely recommend and will be hiring them for my upcoming electrical needs. read more

I contacted several electrical companies in the area, and chose CPL based on their reviews on Yelp. Henry (the company owner) came and gave me an estimate of upgrading my service, as well as replacing the current sub-panel in my house that had breakers that were a fire hazard. He gave me a scheduled date, and contacted me before the work was to be done about what to expect. On the day of the job, his team did a fast, clean and efficient job. Henry handled all the necessary permits, as well as contact with PG&E for stopping and starting the service. He even arranged for someone to come later that day to repair the stucco around the new outside box. I couldn't be happier with the job they did, as well as the fair price and overall professionalism of his company. I won't use anyone else for any future projects!! read more

Henry was the lowest price we found compared (roughly $50-100/plug more for other contractors, also upgrading our panel was half as much as some other contractors!) to other diamond certified companies. Really easy to work with. He was patient and thorough in answering all of our dozens of questions. He was very responsive, even on nights and weekends. He made the whole process of upgrading our panel smooth, and gave us good recommendations and had a lot of knowledge and was not trying to sell us anything extra we did not need. The work he did for us: -grounded 20 outlets -he gave us 2 extra dedicated circuits in the kitchen so it would not trip -updated our light switches -upgraded our panel from the 50's from 100 amps to a 200 amp SquareD panel -got permits for all the electric work and panel upgrade -helped worked with PG&E with upgrading the panel and moving our wiring on top of our home since we used to have a pool in the backyard and we no longer needed to go on the side of the house, so to save on wiring as well as not having to run wire on top of our roof to the panel we moved the wiring to go directly to the panel -told us the ceiling fans and lights the previous owner installed were too much weight and recommended us not to use the fans anymore as it could fall in the future, thanks Henry! -helped make things safer in our garage as some wires were hanging and not stapled in or an electric box was just hanging by its wire -He recommended and coordinated a great stucco contractor to patch around our larger panel and other holes that were necessary for the electrical work. -He identified potentially dangerous wiring in our master bedroom bathroom, educated us on it, and asked if we wanted him to inspect it; for peace of mind, we chose to have him inspect it. -He recommended and coordinated for us a great drywall contractor to fix the various small openings in the interior wall need to do the electrical work, as well as fix and seal old cracks we had in the ceiling and wall heater gaps we had removed with another contractor. We would recommend Henry to anyone needing electrical work. read more

I recently purchased a hot tub and needed an outlet for it outside. Henry's crew came and did the work. I also had them upgrade the electrical sub panel.

Was looking to upgrade our new houses old panel to a new 200amp, add exterior lights, canned lights in various parts of the house and ground outlets. Henry was very prompt to come out, evaluate what we needed (and things I thought we did that we may not need). On his evaluation he was very clear on scope of work and provided a very good price for the work. We purchased the lights switches ourselves to save costs at Henry's suggestion. For the install of panel and light and all Doug was prompt, polite, and awesome to get everything put in. They completed all work in two days flawlessly. Will be doing more work soon and will call CP&L for sure. And recommend without reserve if you need work done. read more

I actually called a few company before going with california power and light . All I wanted was a dedicated 110 outlet outdoor and next to my garage.

Great service and no bs! thanks again read more

California Power & Light - Henry working on a large panel for an apartment building. - Electricians Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

I ran into Henry and his team this morning by accidents in my neighborhood while he was on his way to meet his client. So happy to have talked to him. 20 minutes later, he was at my place, diagnosing the inconsistent fixture issues, which apparently another household in the community was having the same problem, proposed a solution with a very reasonable pricing. The crew showed up on time, were very polite, worked on the project efficiently, and cleaned up nicely when they finished the job. Henry was also at my house in the end to ensure everything was carried out as planned. Also, they all wore masks and were very respectful to the household environment given that we currently work from home with virtual work meetings. Thanks Henry and team again for providing such great work. The house looks more beautiful now that the lighting/energy temperature is consistent throughout! read more

These guys are great. They added an outlet behind a TV, fixed a smart switch issue, and rewired a whole gang box. He was also super quick in giving me a quote to add a new outlet to the garage to power our treadmill correctly. Would recommend them again! read more

Henry and his team replaced a very old Zinsco electrical panel and installed a 220 V electrical outlet for EV charging in the garage. All work done in about 7 hours. Very professional, courteuos and friendly service at competitive rates. He responded promptly to text questions on scheduling and status. On top of that, he installed 2 hallway LED ceiling lights and dimmer switches at no extra charge. Another highly rated service provider on Yelp said he charges premium rates ( about $2K more) for reasons he did not articulate and suggested I get other estimates, and I am glad I did. I would definitely recommend California Power and Light! read more

Prompt, professional, friendly, competent, but PRICEY! I was shocked to pay $275.00 to replace a breaker. My own fault for not taking the time to call around for a better price. read more

Henry earned my trust and business by helping to reduce the timeframe and cost required to replaced all crimp connections, plugs, and switches throughout our house. While adding a new outlet they were able to find a way to complete the work in less time, which resulted in a lower cost than what was initially estimated. Prior to starting the work, Henry went out of his way to explore different options making upgrades to our Eichler home. Overall great customer experience! read more

My husband and I purchased an over the range microwave which required us to upgrade our electrical panel from 100 amps to 200 amps. We both work full time and we have four young children. Therefore, we have very limited time during the week to get things done. Just the idea of upgrading our panel was overwhelming for us. Thankfully, we reached out to California Power & Light (CP&L) who made this entire process quick and easy for us. Henry, the owner of CP&L and his team were extremely professional, efficient, very clean and genuinely nice people. Henry, gave us a clear description of the entire panel upgrade process including the steps we would need to take such as getting a permit from the city and assisting us with contacting PG&E and letting us know ahead of time that our power would be off on the day of installment prior to getting started. CP&L provide us with excellent electrical service and we highly recommend them. read more
