We called E G Electrical to help us get our kitchen back in working order (after we managed to fritz all the electrical outlets during a large dinner party). My husband likes to fix things himself, but this problem had him stumped - everything he tried failed to work, so we decided to trust a professional. We came to E G Electrical after reading their stellar Yelp reviews, especially when we realized that this business is Diamond Certified. We've used Diamond Certified businesses before, and have always been impressed, so we were hoping for a lot from E G Electrical... They didn't disappoint us. We set up an appointment for them to take a look at the problem, and provide an estimate of how much it would cost to fix. Edward arrived promptly, and after a brief chat, went straight to work checking over things. He was able to determine the problem quickly, and fixed it all up. Along the way, he explained what was wrong, and showed me what he was doing, so we could avoid this issue later. It's clear to me that Edward really knows his stuff, and enjoys his work. He's very professional, courteous, and conscientious. He patiently explained things to me, and didn't make me feel like an idiot for asking simple questions. Even better, he didn't charge us extra for fixing things - he honored the price he quoted for the initial visit, since he didn't spend any additional time in the appointment. Edward is a welcome surprise. I'd be happy working with him again - and likely will. read more

I would highly recommend Edward. He did the new upgraded main panel and a the electrical work on the master bathroom remodel. Various bedrooms can lights in the ceiling. Wired the garage for my woodshop with its dedicated panel. (Even got the dust collector to start automatically for the specific tool that is powered on) Huge attention to detail, very professional . I would highly recommend recommend hiring him. read more

Recently we were told we had an electrical problem requiring an electrician. That made us nervous, but our experience with E G Electrical Services was great. Edward explained everything he was doing and showed us the results when testing something. He seemed very thorough and knowledgeable. We highly recommend him. read more

Just called them for a quote on my backyard project... And set up an appointment for someone to come by and give me an estimate... After taking all my details, and setting up the appointment, the young lady very politely informed me of the $39 "consultation fee" that would be charged! That fee would be refunded if they did the work... Every other electrical company I have called has willingly come out to see the work needed, and provided a quote at no charge! Obviously this company is so busy that they don't need my little job... Pity, because they sound quite good, are Diamond Certified, have good reviews, everything... But sadly, I will not pay for the privilege of them walking around my backyard to give me a quote... Good luck... read more

Edward has been our electrician for about 9 years. He has upgraded electrics, added outlets, installed ceiling fans, etc. He is now working on our remodel. Edward has always been prompt, friendly, reliable, and reasonably priced. I am happy to recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician. read more

Edward replaced my main and sub electrical panels. He arrived on time, finished the job on schedule and left my home clean. He obtained the required permit and met with the building inspector at the completion of the job. Recently, I called Edward on a Saturday afternoon after I had accidently cut through a Romex wire inside a wall leaving part of our home without power. He showed up early the next morning and quickly repaired the damage. read more

Nice person but the bottom lime is I paid for a visit and all he told me is what I already knew - my applicant wasn't connected properly. Which is exactly what I told him on the phone. He didn't fix it and he didn't know how to fix it. read more

I called Angies List and got this guy from them, BEWARE, he came out and gave me an overly inflated quote ($407) for repairing a burned connector. I did agree to it (reluctantly) because he was right there. After he left I did my homework and called 5 other certified electricians in the area and all their quotes were HALF of EG electrical quote. He knows he double charged me, regardless of what response he gives back to my review. My lesson for myself is do the research first, I got burned for not listening to my gut. There is enough competition out there, and when I told the companies what EG charged me their response was "WOW". Learn my lesson everyone. read more

I met ED when helping out a General Contractor on a complete house remodel. I was really impressed with his professionalism. He showed up to the Jobsites on time and got the jobs done. He's very well educated in the National Electrical Codes even the city inspectors were impressed with his knowledge of the Electrical field. I highly recommend EG Electrical Services. read more

Edward is professional, courteous, thorough and is someone who genuinely enjoys what he does - and it shows! His work is impeccable, done on time and competitively priced. We had a full panel upgrade, with subpanel installed in the garage, outside outlets including a built in BBQ and lamp post and full coverage recessed and picture lighting installed in our living room. What he installed was beyond our expectations! He even made provisions for future upgrades. Edward is a hard worker and was great with our pets (including two 12 week old kittens who were quite a handful). We highly recommend him! read more

My house remodel required a new and repositioned electrical box along with updated electrical wiring throughout the whole house. Upon meeting Ed, we went over a detailed walk through of each room and understanding the layout of lighting and switches. I was very impressed with the amount of detail that was going into the layout. A lot of times I would just refer back to Ed for his recommendation and where the best placement would be. I didn't realize how much detail goes into the planning of electrical switches and outlet locations. Ed made suggestions upon future possible locations and lighting which I appreciated very much. There were times when the information and decision making was way over my head. And Ed was more than happy to revisit the information and details at a different time. The great thing was that Ed's work is so detailed and precise we passed the electrical inspections at different points of the remodel with no problems at all which is a huge plus. This saved us time in the process and did not delay other parts of the remodel. Now living in the house I can see why Ed asked a lot of questions about placement of switches and outlets. The simplicity of the locations of the switches and many outlets has made it easier. And Ed is very detailed about his craft such that every screw for each cover plate is all facing the same direction and the plate is all level and flat. These are the details I appreciate. He is down to earth and easy to communicate with, I strongly recommend Ed for his experience and detailed workmanship. read more

Very poor customer service. They use a robo call blocking phone service that does not allow you to call and talk to a human. It completely blocks calls from 669. Repeated attempts to submit a web form and also email them have gotten no responses. Since their phone system does not allow voicemail, there is no way to reach a human. Submitted a consumer complaint and have copied them on email and they still have never responded. Will look elsewhere. :-( read more

I have already reviewed EG Electrical, but am updating my review because I found out my review was "filtered". If you're wondering why 28 out of 30 reviews (all positive) have been filtered, it's probably because the owner hasn't payed Yelp for advertising. I'm sure this review will get filtered too. None of my other Yelp reviews were filtered; why this one? Yelp runs an extortion racket. read more

I had a very good experience with E G Electrical Service. I needed a new circuit in one of my bathrooms for a bidet toilet seat just before Thanksgiving in 2012. I contacted them on Thursday, they came for an estimate on Saturday, got a permission from the city on Monday, and got the work done on Tuesday, which was a lot faster than I expected. Over the weekend we communicated via email and text about the details and paper work. It was very helpful for me that I was able to contact them over email, while many contractors are only reachable by phone. They were always responsive too. They even installed an extra electrical outlet for the bathroom so that we could plug our toothbrush charger without using an extension cord. Excellent work. I highly recommend them. read more

Edward upgraded the service in my 1924 house to 3-phase 240V, ran new wiring for a drier, water heater, EV charger, and stove, and replaced the knob-and-tubing wiring in my garage. He is very professional, punctual, pleasant, and honest. He is committed to using best practices by following the electrical code, and that's exactly what I want in my house. This job required significant interaction with Palo Alto utilities on the location of the new service panel and how the steel conduit should be routed around my gas meter. He patiently explained to me how the city's requirement exceeded electrical code requirements on which his bid was based, and this resulted in additional time and hardware costs. While nobody likes to see a project result in cost overruns, his added charges were fair. If you want a first-rate electrical contractor to work on your project, I can recommend E.G. Electrical Services without hesitation. read more

I would highly recommend Edward for all my electrical work. He came out to do the lighting for our backyard landscape design, and to reinstall our main panels. He was punctual, honest, and very pleasant to work with. I would definitely hire him again. read more

We tried out 3 different electricians to solve a problem we had. Edward was the only one to come up with a creative, safe, and low-cost solution. He worked quickly and efficiently. One year later, I had a question related to the work he did as well as another issue at the house. Before charging me for a visit, Edward spent 20 minutes on the phone with me diagnosing and correctly fixing my problem. I highly recommend this company and Edward specifically. read more

Ed took on a solar installation repair where the usual solar installers had balked. It involved warranty repair on inverters. Although he said it was not his typical kind of work, Ed very professionally helped me obtain the replacements and was prompt in installing them when they arrived. He was terrific at staying in touch and keeping me informed on the status of things as they progressed. I now have a strong confidence in his abilities both as an electrician and a businessman. Highly recommended. read more

Did my research before asking Edward to replace our main electrical panel (old one was a fire hazard!) and install several new light fixtures in the house. Edward is professional, polite, respectful, prompt, and does a great job - he clearly takes pride in his work. He was not the cheapest contractor, but who wants to use the cheapest contractor for electrical work? Job site was cleaned up after each day's work. Shoe covers 100% of the time. I believe he is an instructor at San Jose City College, so clearly knows his stuff. Would definitely call again for future jobs. read more

Edward was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, punctual (encounter very few these days), organized, cleaned, and detailed oriented. We hired him for rewiring cables in our server room at work and he did a very great job. My boss is very picky about engineering work since he's a BIG one himself and he was very impressed with Edward's work. We highly recommend him. read more

Ed checked out a messed up electrical circuit, and thoroughly tested it. He is competent, efficient, reasonable, and does what he says he will do. read more

I'm not sure of the job. But we were charged $600 for less than two hours work! When we asked for an itemized bill he sent a one liner including parts and labor for $600! I paid less for a lawyer, and he gave an itemized bill stating exactly what I was paying for! In this case I was blinded completely, a 1-liner bill made me feel completely screwed! read more

My brother recommended Edward after he came to his house and did a ton of work. And believe me, my brother needed a ton of work to fix some potential safety issues. We needed faulty light switches repaired, changed over some lighting, finished some repair work that another laborer never finished, etc. Edward came in, gave us a quote, set a date for him to return and that was it. He did it all and stuck to his price which was very reasonable. He's pleasant, hard working and there to do his job. We've recommended him to several of our friends and everyone has been pleasantly surprised with such a refreshing change to have a service man really perform his job with such professionalism. read more

Edward did a panel upgrade at my home a few years ago and I was very pleased. He is thorough, helpful and a pleasure to do business with. I have since referred him to other people who were likewise plesaed with his service. read more

We were first introduced to edward through our general contractor during our kitchen remodel. He was super meticulous and detail oriented. We loved the canned lighting he did for us in our kitchen so we had him come out to put canned lighting in our living room. He makes sure to keep the areas he is working clean and is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend him. read more

This is the second time I've hired Edward to work on my house and again he provided outstanding service. He is a true professional - extremely knowledgeable, courteous and a pleasure to do business with. This last time (the first time he installed lighting and fans) he rewired the entire panel for the house and installed a new circuit into the kitchen with a commercial grade receptacle. All work, including obtaining the permit and having the inspection was done on time. Edward is always available for questions and returns calls promptly. I am delighted to recommend him to anyone in need of electrical services. read more

I have known Edward at E.G. Electrical for 10 years, and when my customers need any electrical work done whether for a large renovation an updated panel, or just installing new lighting I refer them to Edward. He is an honest contractor who provides high quality work, and my customers are always happy with his work. He also teaches electrical courses and is an inspector and obviously knows his stuff - what more could you want than a knowledgeable and honest contractor? read more

I have used Edward for several projects including, troubleshooting several problems and replacing the house electrical panel, which was a known fire hazard. We did not know it was a fire hazard until he showed us a website about it. He has always been very professional and practical. We trust Edward. read more

Edward delivers top quality work and top quality service. He has done three different large jobs for us. He shows up when he promises, gets the job done in the time specified, and does excellent work. Easy to recommend. Edward did work for us in 2009 and 2012 and did very well. In 2015 (at a different house) he upgraded our electrical panel as well as wired a shed in our back yard. The price of the work on the shed had doubled in less than 3 years. One of the more irritating aspects of his quotes was that he was asking outrageous prices for extended warranties (which were declined). We had a 50 year old house with the original wiring that worked just fine. Why would I pay anything for an extended warranty for his work? That said my experience with the quality of his work was very good. However, I had to find a stucco repair person as Edward's couldn't get the work done correctly. On top of that Edward committed to scheduling PG&E to come out and inspect the work and seal their side of the panel. I asked him 3 times when it was going to happen, but it never did. Very disappointed in his performance. This was why we can no longer recommend him. read more

Edward was able to get right to the bottom of the problem--a shorted wire--in less than 30 minutes. He arrived promptly the next day and replaced a cable drop through a conduit, running new wires to the breaker box in 2.5 hours--including a 30 min trip for supplies. Everything is working great. Professional, courteous and knowledgeable: these superlatives I do not hand out willy-nilly. Edward is very good. read more

Amazing service, very professional,always on time! Responsible and Dependable! Edward has always been there for our troubles, from a simple questions to complicated ones. I can feel comfortable calling him and he'll walk me through the issue and solve the problem over the phone. I cant write anything less than good, he will even go out of his way to keep customers happy. We love the guy! read more

Edward provided us with a very reasonable price for a main panel upgrade, and performed the work on time, neatly, and as promised. He was responsive, courteous, and willing to work around our schedule. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again for any future electrical needs. read more

He has done a great job for us on a number of projects around our house. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Its nice to have a skilled and trusted professional in the "line up" of folks needed for various home projects. Recently came out for our annual inspection as well as running new speaker wire under the house. On time, professional and friendly as always! read more

The lamp in my rental condo's kitchen would not turn on. I called this company to go over there and fix it. They had told me on the phone that there is a "$89 service call fee". I asked Leslee (their rep) if the fee will be used towards the repair and she confirmed it. They showed up at my rental place where my tenants live. About 10 minutes after showing up, they called me and let me know that they cannot figure out why the lamp does not turn on. They said the trouble shooting task is so complicated that I have to pay an extra $700+ cost so that they can find out what the problem is!! Also, they told me there might be a safety hazard if they do not fix it right away. I did not believe them and asked them to leave it as it was before. They charged my $89 anyways for just showing up there! I found another electrician. He came by and fix the issue in less than 45 minutes for just $100! I did contact them and let them know that I am extremely unhappy about the way they practice business. Their electrician (Edward) used a very insulting language in his emails. He did admit that it is possible to find and an electrician who could fix the same problem for less than $100! He still did not explain why he quoted me for more than $700 for the same fix! Instead, he questioned my ability to understand why they charged me $89 (btw, I have a PhD in electrical engineering). I was very clear about my concerns but they never bothered to address any of them. I just want all other potential clients to know about the super poor quality of service these guys provide. Their business practice is unfair and deceptive. read more
