We had a great experience with Charles Young Electric. From the initial phone call, Charles took the time to understand the issue, shared helpful information, and clearly set expectations so there were no surprises. George and Manuel came out for the work and were on time, professional, and very respectful. They identified loose connections and a damaged outlet behind the fireplace and replaced the affected outlets, explaining everything clearly along the way. The work was done smoothly with no pressure or upselling. We felt confident in the repairs and would definitely use them again and recommend them to others. read more

I have had this crew in a couple times. One for a fix, the other for an enhancement. They are professional and efficient.

Great experience from Charles Young Electric very professional and quickly resolved my electrical issue also very reasonable on the cost of repair will definitely be using them again with any other issues that might happen. read more

Charles was quick on reaching out to provide a quote and had his team out in the afternoon for the repair.

Really impressed with Charles Young from the very beginning. Had a hodge-podge of electrical items that needed fixing. Charles was very professional and made several suggestions and recommendations that were spot on and saved money. The crew did a great job. The place looks great and the work was perfect. Quick turn around also! I was also able to speak with Charles about other work, including panel upgrades for Electrical heat pump water heater. He helped tremendously and in the end had a solid recommendation based on load calculations, existing panel size, and costs. Very honest and trustworthy. Highly recommended! read more

Great customer service, showed up on time, quoted a great price, and completed the work quickly and successfully

We've had Charles' team out to do a number of jobs over the years. They always do great work at a fair price!

Had solicited quotes through several vendors to install our EV charger and we ended up going with Charles Young. Throughout the solicitation and appointment setting process the staff at Charles Young was great and professional. We had specific requirements as we were using SMUDs rebate program and they had not issues with it. The service requested included permitting. After running all the quotes, CY had one of the best prices when accounting for the permit. The day of the installation came and the employees that came to install got right to business. There was some initial difficulties as it seems like the conduit that was installed by the builders was installed properly but throughout the time spent there both of the techs were very professional. The easy part ended up taking quite awhile do to the conduit but they ended up fixing the issue and installing the breaker, outlet, romex, and mounting the charger without any other issue. Afterwards the permitting process was handled quickly and professionally by the staff. All we had to do was provide the documentation completed to the city to get it properly permitted. Thanks CY for all your help! We look forward to using this company in the future! read more

Watch out for the high credit card fee they tack on. I actually could have paid cash had I known it would be an extra $50. There was a quick review of the cost at the end of service, but the additional credit card fee wasn't really pointed out. $1k job and still had to pay the credit card fee, seems a bit greedy and should be the cost of doing business. read more

Had an issue with a breaker that was able to turn to the on position but no power was going to the circuit. Prior to making an appointment, Charles reached out to me and troubleshooted a few things over the phone to see if he could help getting things working. I greatly appreciated this! How many electricians are offering, essentially, a free consult on the phone before coming out?! Unfortunately, we couldn't get it resolved by phone, but one of his electricians came out the next morning and had everything working in about 15 minutes at a very reasonable rate. If (when) I have another electrical issue, I'll be contacting Charles Young again. read more

I was going to try and replace a bathroom exhaust fan myself, but couldn't figure out how to get the old one out, so I decided to call Charles Young Electric. Charles had George come out to do my bathroom fan replacement, and did a great job. Very knowledgeable, and knew what to do when issues came up. He showed up on time, was courteous, and cleaned up the mess when he was done (including all of the insulation that fell from the attic area during the replacement). If I need any electrical work done again, I will check with Charles first! read more

Requested for a quote from several places and Charles Young provided competitive pricing and had outstanding customer service. Response time and scheduling was quick. Got my ceiling light installed with a wall mount. So far no issues yet and happy. They also offer a 1 year warranty so definitely adds confidence to go with their services. read more

Charles sent 2 of his workers at 8am and by 8:30, they have changed the problem circuit breaker and checked the outlets associated with that breaker. They were knowledgeable, skilled, and courteous. It was also easy to deal with Charles on the phone. read more

I had an issue with a circuit breaker that had a very simple fix. Charles was able to guide me through it and with a quick phone call and we ended up fixing it right then there. There was no need for him to actually come and do the service, so I'm thankful for his honesty. Other electricians I called didn't even bother inquiring about the issue. I'll be a customer in the future for sure! read more

I wanted to remove a fluorescent light in the garage and replace it with an outlet so I can install 2 five grid hexagon lights. For the laundry room I wanted to remove another fluorescent light and install 2 recess lights. Charles got back to me right away and George came and knock it out of the park. It looks 10 times better than before. read more

Very rude and insulting. They told me $450 for a ceiling fan installation. I said no thank you, bye and hung up. To which they then told me to act like a grown up. If you want to be insulted, they will do it for a very hefty fee of $450. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT WAS VERBALLY ABUSIVE! read more

Charles Young - Very rude and insulting. - Electricians Near Me

Sent a message over the weekend, and Charles got back to me and said he'd call me Monday morning. Sure enough first thing he called to talk about what I needed. My GFCI outlets didn't work. He even told me how to troubleshoot it over the phone in case it was an easy fix. But it needed to be replaced. He was able to fit me into the schedule that day since I was close by. George came out and was very friendly and professional, got the job done quick. He even gave me some advice when I asked about a couple other non urgent issues. Great service and great pricing, can't ask for much more than that. I'll be giving them a call again for future projects. read more

Although I had to cancel my scheduled appointment, I still wanted to post a review for the amazing customer service I got. Charles Young and his team were very responsive to the service I needed to restore power to my garage. The loss of power occurred during labor day weekend so I was eventually able to get it resolved on my own; however I will definitely be calling them back for any service I will likely need in the future. Thank you to Mr. Young and Rhonda for all your help! read more

Prompt response and quote. Professional and efficient service at a reasonable price.

I've used Charles Young Electric twice now. They are super easy to communicate with, they will return your calls and they can usually fit you in pretty quick. The quality feels very professional. And the electricians always friendly. I'll keep using them! read more

I called Charles young company last week i believe Thursday and they came out the next day. The job i needed done was to switch my light switches to the other side of my wall. I'm having cabinets custom built in this nook and light switches would prevent them from being flushed to the wall. It was two guys and i can't remember their names. I'm terrible with names. Anyway They initially came to do an estimate but had time to do the job once i approve the estimate. They were efficient, timely and very nice. The price was reasonable for me as well. Job didn't take long at all. They cleaned up the debris and was done. Would i recommend this company for electrical work? Yes i would. I'm actually going to have them do a hot wire for led mirror in my powder bathroom. Contact them great company! read more

I've worked with Charles Young a few times now for various projects and I have nothing but good things to say. First of all, their quotes are competitive. They updated our electrical panel to 200 amps. It was done quickly and everything was set up nicely. They were on time. We did a sub panel for our garage as well with extra lights outside. It looks clean and was done professionally and everything was on time. Last to say when a tree branch hit our power line and tore down our new panel from our house, Charles was able to send someone over right away to get it repaired. It was fixed the same day and were able to get our power back on once Smud came back out. I could not recommend this company enough! read more

Had them out to replace an outlet and then back to source a shortage in another outlet. They sent George, who is very professional and knowledgeable. Identified issues quickly and resolved my issues and asked a very fair price. I definitely recommend them and will use them again in the future. read more

Easy to work with and informative. The people that came out were on time, friendly and efficient.

Charles' crew did an electrical panel replacement at my house. They took care of the scheduling with SMUD and permitting, did the work quickly and did it well, and at a price I thought was very fair. Would be happy to hire them for my next big electrical job. George did most of the work, and is very professional and was open to all of my curious questions about the work. read more

As a homeowner, I now have the opportunity to actually make home improvements. My new house was equipped with state of the art recessed fluorescent lighting - state of the art for 2007! When it was time to finally replace all of them, I found Charles Young through Yelp. They serve the Sacramento area and do a lot of LED replacements. I wanted to replace the aging fixtures with the new flush LED lighting. Working with Charles, he found the appropriate fixtures that were equipped with adjustable light temperatures which were perfect. The installation was rather large with 20 fixtures throughout the house, but his offer was prompt and competitive which was nice. The installation took several hours due to the sheer number of replacements and a few small issues. The team was professional and cleaned up after the job. The results are spectacular. My house looks much better, and I do not have to worry about a bunch of old lights crapping out randomly. LED lasts a long time and can handle the constant on and off of a house. Replacing a few fixtures yourself can be somewhat easy if you have the time and equipment. However hiring a professional like Charles Young is a great idea for a large project and ensures everything looks great and is done fast. read more

Charles and his team are great to communicate with and get the job done! I recommend this business.

The electricians who showed up were prepared to work safely electrically and pandemic-ly. I asked them to retrofit my annoying CFL light cans in my kitchen with LED lights. This is a standard enough request that they had enough kits on their truck, and they charged a flat rate per light. It took them a little more than an hour. I was concerned that the LEDs would not be bright enough because they were rated at 650 lumens and were replacing 4 inch (not 5 inch) cans. The manufacturers need to get their stuff together because these LEDs, replacing similar rated CFLs, were much brighter. The electricians were smart enough to get the kits with selectable color temperature, so the result is that I can finally see enough to cook in my kitchen now. Bonus was that the guys were affable and talkative. I'm totally satisfied, and my house already feels much better. read more

Home Depot couldn't install a new dishwasher I purchased because our current one was hardwired so I needed an electrician to install an outlet. I initially called elsewhere to get a quote and was told a rough estimate and asked to text the person my info and they would get back to me with a date. I decided to call Charles Young. Carrie was super helpful and took down all my information. Charles gave me a call shortly thereafter and asked for additional information. He explained to me what was needed and I appreciate that he took the time to ensure I understood what to expect. The work was completed the next day. The two guys who came out were polite and efficient. The new outlet looks great. I will be a lifelong customer. Thank you Charles Young! read more

I'd like to start by saying that today wasn't the first time I've used these guys. I should've left a great review the first time, but I'm lazy. Jordan and, I think it was Henry, came over to fix my mistake today. I had fried something in my house by plugging my RV into a wall socket. I know it's not the smartest move. Don't judge me. There was a lot going on at the time and it had been a long week. Worth saying this isn't the first time Jordan has had to troubleshoot my house. When we first bought a few months ago, we had some electrical issues that he resolved. Both him and his partner work fast and do a great job of sorting out your issue. Anyway, they got my power back up in my old house which was built in 1949. Half the house was down so it was certainly a challenge. Also, a friend suggested someone else and since this all occurred on a Sunday and we were going out of town we called that guy. The other guy came by as we were leaving but did nothing but give us an estimate. A flat rate that was no less than $200 more than what Charles Young's team charged us. By the time we got back in town Monday night we called Charles Young Elec who made a point to get us an appt within a day or so. Lastly, Charles himself gave a call this afternoon to let me know his electricians were tied up with a challenging house and would be a few more hours later than expected. No big deal. Appreciate that kind of communication! Not to mention they squeezed us in. Here's the short version. This company is 100% class. They're more cost efficient and fast. They're communicative. They're knowledgeable. They're real people. And they'll handle every electrical project or problem that I ever have in the future as long as I'm within range of their services! Thanks guys. You're the sh*t! I hope everyone uses you for their electrical work! read more

Gave a competitive bid and stuck to the price quoted. Very responsive to any questions and /or concerns I may have had. The technicians they sent were professional, courteous, and got the job done. Can't ask for more than that. I highly recommend. read more

Charles and his crew are the greatest. They just finished installing a new electric panel box. They were on time, efficient, and very professional. Replacing a panel could have left a large gap in my siding but they were so careful! The hole is very small and they did a great clean up afterwards. read more

We used CYE at my FIL house last year and we were impressed with their work. I had a light fixture that I wanted to convert to a ceiling fan. 10 years ago, I would've done the attic work myself, but with age comes wisdom. We called CYE and had them out. Of course, they ran into a interior wall fire block which they had to drill through. I didn't have the tools for that and it would've frustrated me anyway. The guys tackled that issue and installed the switches in the new double gang box. I did finish the job by hanging the ceiling fan myself. They did a fantastic job doing the "dirty" work in the attic. We would definitely use them again without hesitation. read more
