Our stove shorted out on Thanksgiving eve, with house full of family and refrigerator full of food. Plan B was using the two burners in the travel trailer and although the grandkids would have loved the adventure, the adults weren't too keen on it... Griffin staff returned my call quickly and within hours Ron was there to save the day. He was fantastic!!! So nice and knowledgeable, he quickly identified the problem and had it resolved in no time. Let Ron know that one of my granddaughters absolutely loves the pen, her first with a stylus. This trip it was the little thing as well as the big thing that made us very happy customers! I won't hesitate to call them when I launch on a total wiring check next summer. read more

Griffin Electric submitted my rebate after leaving my initial review, and today I've just finally received my rebate from SMUD! Three months since they installed my EV charger, and six months since I initially contacted Griffin Electric. I am raising my rating to three stars (from two), but I will be hiring a different company for future electrical work. read more

Just be careful when you're reviewing your bill. They bill you for fuel, even if you live super close to their business. As well, they mark up supplies over double. Even though I asked for full disclosure of costs the owners wife said I was quoted incorrectly for the base cost to come to my place because the scheduler was "new". Interestingly enough, the electrician that came out, quoted the same price as the new scheduler. She told me that she would adjust my bill and acted as if it was a favor. Just be warned that there is a lack of transparency in their costs. I will not be using them again nor will I suggest them to friends and family. read more

The electricians were very fair in very knowledgeable. I will continue to use them and was very satisfied with their work.!!!

They were extremely professional they got the work done they're not cheap but they're well worth the cost. We needed them to look at lights that were not working. Guillermo was very good explaining the problems and we got the new lightbulbs and replaced them. They were really good on putting a new electrical line for the oven. Honest hard-working and well worth the cost. read more

We highly recommend Griffin Electric and will call them next time we have any issues. You should, too! Ron arrived earlier than expected, which was nice. He took on and off his booties each time he went outside, I felt bad but he said it was company policy. He said I could ask him questions and watch him work, and even explained what he fixed. I was very impressed. Afterwards, I showed him some battery LEDs, that I would someday like to turn into electric and he took a picture and said he would give me a quote later. Griffin Electric was great and we were happy with Ron's quick and friendly, expert service today. read more

I left a message with Griffin's answering service on a Sunday. They returned the call Monday and scheduled my work for Wednesday morning. Points for good response time. They told me their rates - not cheap, but reasonable and fair. Nick arrived on time. He was friendly, professional, listened to what I wanted, and we agreed to a plan. He advised me I would need to do some sheetrock repair after my new ceiling junction boxes and replacement lighting fixtures were installed, which I agreed to. Nick did the job promptly and exactly as we had discussed. His work was so masterful that I only had to apply a teaspoon of spackle and paint two areas about the size of a dime afterwards. He cleaned up the work area. The bill was just as described. I highly recommend Griffin Electric. read more

Our company asks them to write a bid for new breaker boxes on the exterior of our building. They have not returned our call or followed up won't be using them anymore. They lost 12 years customer. read more

We thought at first we had gremlins. Our kitchen lights were flashing, then they went out and our hall way lights started. We went to turn on our outside lights and the kitchen lights came back on. Dan and his guys came in and found the issue. Life savers, based on their finding we could have had a fire. read more

We used Griffin for some work in our bathroom renovation in July 2023 and I just forgot to leave a review. Tyler came out and did a fantastic job, listened to all our wiring goals and offered the best solutions before jumping into them. He even talked my husband through a few things so he would have some ability to make small adjustments once we got the dry wall up. We would definitely use Griffin Electric again in the future! read more

I called Griffin Electric and they sent Nick out. I had some issues with outlets and electric floor heaters. Nick basically opened everything up and started trouble shooting, it didn't take him long to discover some bad wiring and outlets and incorrect wiring in the heaters. Thanks' for another great job!!! Highly recommended! read more

Great work and would do business again. Owner and workers are easy to work with and are willing to go beyond the required task if asked...

He came and did a lot of research for me on a future project Also help me install a new light read more

Ron came to my house today to help me work through some issues that came up in a house sale inspection report required by the City of Davis in order for me to put my house on the market. He was polite, thoughtful, efficient, thorough, and very knowledgable. He answered my questions and explained things very clearly. He also helped me know what I could do to complete some of the needed work so I could save some money on the job. Several years ago I hired Griffin to replace my electrical panel, and received the same excellent work and great customer service. I highly recommend them! read more

So we lost power to 1/2 our house. It was a Saturday night, so we made do until the morning. Called Griffin at 8am Sunday morning. They said they could do the job today and would get back to us "shortly" with an eta. 10am we called back. The receptionist said that they were on it, and she would either have the tech or herself call back "shortly." It's now 3:45pm with no word. I'll go without power for the rest of the night and have Bonney, Brian, Maverick, or any other Joe who will just be honest with me and do the job. Treat this company like the plague. read more

My technician Tyler was very helpful and considerate. He took extra time to figure out why my dryer was not working. He didn't have to go to the trouble, but he did. I would recommend Griffin Electric to my friends and family for high quality work with excellent customer service. read more

used Griffin once before and was very happy. This time I needed an existing 220 line split into two 110's. A simple job requiring 2.5 hours of labor, two circuit breakers to change the 220 into two 110 lines, about 10 feet of romex, and the parts to create an outlet. I was quoted approximately $1400 for the job! I called to question it, but was told the owner was out sick and only he could adjust the quote. I waited about a week and still no owner. Sadly, I boxed myself in, because of scheduling and had to have Griffin do the work for the $1400. Although I asked, I never heard from the owner. I know I chose to have them do the work, even though the bill seemed incredibly high. I jammed myself into a corner. My real complaint is that no one responded to what should have been a simple adjustment. They got my money, but lost my business... read more

I give GRIFFIN ELECTRIC A 10 star rating! They are simply the BEST at what they do. I highly recommend this company to do any of your electrical work. They made a major job of changing out my whole electrical panel smooth and effortless. They scheduled everything and I had my new panel in, the grounds pounded into the earth and my electricity back on within 8 hours. Super polite & efficient! I can't say enough about them! Thank you Griffin Electric! PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTO WITH COMMENDATION! Awesome experience! Thank you Sarah, Ron, Jarod and Dave!! It was a pleasure read more

Griffin electric was easy to get ahold of for a free evaluation and to sign our contract once we agreed to the work. However, we had a very hard time getting ahold of these guys after we signed our contract and paid our deposit. It took a long time to get work scheduled. Our house was left dirty after the electrician finished. And when we questioned the technician as to why he left it such a mess he "forgot the plastic" and "wiped down the counters when he was done". We have had windows and new insulation put in by other companies that did not require a deposit, were very on top of communication, and our house was left spotless so I really do feel it's acceptable to be upset. We also called to let Griffin electric know our issues and were told we would receive something from them in the mail, and that never happened. Would not recommend. read more

This company is wonderful! We had installers, through Home Depot, "install" our dishwasher. The dishwasher was not properly wired; as a result, it did not work...and, the installers left anyway. We called Griffin Electric, and the electrician was able to quickly assess what the problem was with our dishwasher and wired it without a problem. I highly recommend Griffin Electric! read more

A total waste of time. They don't take small jobs or if you are brown or black or asian! so don't even call!

I live in an old house that has required a lot of work. Paul has provided service for me on several occasions. He has solved many problems in a cheerful and expert manner. I am so grateful for his expertise. Excellent, service! read more

Great job by Brandon! I live in an old quirky house. Brandon came out promptly, wired a new outlet for the dishwasher and checked other multiple issues as requested, all for a reasonable price. In addition, I'm the "do it yourselfer" in our family (middle-aged female). Brandon realized this, acknowledged it without prompting, and then explained things to me like a peer. I really appreciated it and in the future when I want professional, precise and respectful electrical work done on my house, I know exactly who I will be calling. read more

I was referred to Griffin by my father in law. Called them, they came out on time. Jeff was very professional. He figured out the wiring issue in a timely manner.

Had a late night Friday situation where half the master bedroom outlets stopped working after we unplugged a surge protector. Griffin Electric was able to send someone over first thing Saturday morning. He was able to figure out the the cause and replace the problematic outlet in a timely manner and no time was wasted. I highly recommend them! read more

Amazing...I had an electrical work wish list which included garage wiring and lighting, garage outlet, outdoor patio outlet, doorbell, and bathroom light fixture installation...in my old house. I communicated with Elisa, Dispatch Supervisor, electrician came and reviewed the work needed, Elisa created a contract, I copied and signed it and delivered it, work was scheduled for today, and within one week it is completed! My electrician, Nhia, was outstanding...prompt, thorough, efficient, knowledgeable, skilled, friendly and personable, worked non-stop, and ever so patient with my questions...included me on decision making. I can't express enough my gratitude. I no longer have to do laundry by flashlight. I have a new working doorbell. I love the bathroom fixture, and the outdoor outlet. Wow. Just wow. Thank you so much, Nhia, and Griffin Electric! I am so happy with this work. read more

We had a long list of electrical projects and upgrades we needed done on our home in Fair Oaks, including adding lighting, replacing a breaker and some outlets, adding an outlet, and converting our kitchen recessed lighting from halogen to LED. Nick came out and knocked them all out with great service and attention to detail. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. He was also great about cleaning up his work areas. We will definitely use Griffin Electric again for future projects. read more

Our 20 year old house is beginning to have some electrical aches and pains. Griffin was recommended to us by a friend and we have been so happy to have found them - reliable, qualified and quick to respond. They are permanently in my contact list. Nhia was our most recent technician but everyone has been great. read more

Our house needed a couple of "small" things done but still had to be taken seriously: a ceiling light that needed replacing but had been installed without a box, a bare but taped wire hanging down into our garage that we didn't know the status of, installation of a GFI in the garage and maintenance on an exterior GFI in the garden. Ron showed up on time with a smile and focus and jumped right in. Before we knew it he had the ceiling light box and fixture installed properly, identified the hanging wire as LIVE, then used it to install the garage GFI. He always kept us apprised of how much time he was taking and what our cost was at each juncture and what it would be if it took more than an hour. He then got down on the ground in the garden to get that GFI back in working order and when he soon finished asked if we needed anything else. All I can say is "wow" we weren't expecting these tasks to go so smoothly, successfully and cost effectively. Ron is now our "go to" electrician. What an unexpected pleasure! read more

Paul and Nhia came this morning to give me a quote for some electrical work on our home. They were prompt and professional. Both were very friendly, knowledgeable and patiently answered all of my questions. They also wore masks without being asked. I really appreciated that since I have some health issues. I would highly recommend them! read more

I find it shady that one of their employees did work for my mother and offered her a 'senior discount', but it would only be honored if he could take a photo of her driver's license with his phone (personal? work phone? your guess is as good as mine.) My mother is in her 80's, there was no need to look at her driver's license, let alone take a photo of it. I emailed the company and expressed my concern over customer privacy, was this a work-assigned phone, and personal phone, what are you doing with the photos? Why even take photos? How do I know my mother's driver's license, DOB and other information is secure. "I am sorry you feel. This way is company policy for proof to be given to the office that they are a senior. It is only used for our records as to who and why a discount was given.

The technician, Ron Davison, could have easily taken a headshot photo of my mother, and there would be no question, the customer is a senior citizen. read more

The company that I work for had our building's primary breaker fail. This occurred on a Sunday afternoon. By Tuesday morning, we were open for business again. Griffin sent people on Sunday night to diagnose the issue. Griffin corrdinated SMUD, got permits on Monday morning and managed to get us a county inspector same day. They performed the removal of the breaker and found us a "loaner breaker" that allowed us to get power restored on Monday night while our permanent breaker was shipped. Griffin then once again swapped the "loaner" breaker with our permanent breaker. If I could give Griffin six stars, I would. If you are in a pinch for time or have a high stakes job, I recommend Griffin Electric. read more

I am so thankful that I found a company who does such great work. My electrical in my kitchen kept shorting out and popping my circut breakers.. I called griffin electric and ask them to come out and look at. They (at no charge) came out to my home and looked at my electrical panel and found that first the circuit breaker was bad and that who ever wired my home before I purchased it, had to many other appliances on the same circuit... They put my dishwasher on a separate outlet, (which they installed) and my refrigerator on it's own plug...(which they ran a new wire from the panel box to my kitchen for my refrigerator) Everything is running great, and the problem has been solved.... They gave me a great price on the repair and told me if I had any other problems, they would come out and take care of it... Thank you Griffen electric for the great work and wonderful customer service. Tom Fretwell read more

Griffin Electric has helped me three times now: 1. Replaced ballast in kitchen lighting when selling home. 2. Installed four new ceiling fans in new home. 3. Replaced 12 LED-compatible dimmer switches throughout new home. The ones that came with the house caused LED dimmable bulbs to flicker badly. The new ones ( Lutron Skylark) do not flicker. The dimming can be adjusted on the switch to whatever level of lowest light you desire. Paul was my tech for all the work done at the new house. Paul is very skilled at what he does. He took the time to make sure that the switches worked correctly and that the 3-way circuits were wired properly. read more

I used my Smud Homepower service to hire this electrical company to fix a couple of issues at my home. I was so amazed with the two electricians they sent out! They were extremely friendly, professional and performed the work so quickly and efficiently, it really blew me away! I have had other electricians come do work for me that were nothing compared to these guys! I highly recommend them! read more

Easy to call and schedule! Professional service technician that helped us out right away. Recommend to call and have them help you out!

I called this company up after hours left a message with there answering service said they would return my call the next day.Well they never called so i thought maybe the message did not get to them gave them the benefit of the dought. I called them at 11:00 the next day the lady that answered the phone said she got my message but was scheduling jobs at the moment and would call me back and she was very rude. she never called me back so i called again at 3:30 to let her know to take me off the list because of very poor customer service but nobody answered but i did leave a message. 3 day's later i get a call from her she said i know it has been a few day's but wanted see if i still needed work apparently she dose not listen to messages either. I then went on very nicely to tell her no and why and she was very rude again and slammed the phone down on me for no reason. very piss poor service !! these are the kind of companies that will survive in these times because of covid everybody is slammed with work! But when the economy takes a hit and it will at some point these kind of companies will be out of business !! she needs to be fired with that attitude!! read more

If I could give this place a 0 I would. Worst experience I could ask for quoted at 330 and ended up paying 1100 for a breaker. Please do not use this company at they are very unclear about the cost and services. They squeeze you for your hard earned money read more

I know enough about wiring and switches to get myself zapped big time. I bought several smart switches and wanted to install them. After what seemed like hours on youtube trying to figure out all the wires coming out of my light fixture I called Griffin on a recommendation of a friend. Paul Fallgreen came out quickly, and on time. I explained my issue and and asked a ton of questions. He showed me that I had the wrong switches for where I wanted to put them, but he did wire one up on a circuit that would work for my switch. He then showed me how to wire up 3 pole switches for when I got them. He was funny and very informative. I never felt that I was being talked down to at all. I rather enjoyed his visit. Now Paul could have installed the switch and left, but he really took the time to help me out and saved me a lot of money. He only charged me the minimum service call and was on his way. I am very happy with his service and would highly recommend them. PS at time of this review thanks to Pauls advise my house is all wired up with smart switches and the ladies in my house can now turn on lights before they get home at night. read more

Very Professional, worked efficiently and he worked more quickly than I had expected. Fixed multiple items. On one outlet not working, he showed me how to press the breaker button, which restored it rather than needing to replace it. I will definitely want to call them again for any future issues. read more
