Invoiced for work not completed. Supervisor of tech did not believe me and was contentious and arguing with me. Sad sorry company completely sales driven. read more

Gubruds Services - Electricians Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

I needed a light switch replaced. Gubruds showed up and insisted on doing a full inspection of my electrical boxes, even though my house was built only three years ago. When they couldn't find anything that needed fixing, not surprisingly, they recommended installing a surge protector on my main panel. When I said I only wanted the switch replaced, they gave me a quote of $650. You're reading that right. $650. I sent them packing. I called an independent, licensed electrician who replaced the switch for $75. read more

I would have given this a 5 star rating but the price was almost twice of what I expected to pay. I looked up on Angie's list and others what it generally costs to replace a 50 amp breaker. Without any issues (which mine did not have) it said it is generally $200-$400. My cost even with a discount was $687. However, Benny came out and inspected my breaker for the hot tub and it was bad. He did a great job checking the breaker, the main electrical box and even after replacement made sure the hot tub was back to good working order. He called when he was on his way and gave me an ETA. He was very friendly and professional. Left me with some recommendations for the future and advised me of a new code in place which my panel does not have. Great job Benny, thank you for being so thorough and explaining things, 5 star service! read more

We had an all day job that required two electricians and later they called in another two to get the job done in one day. I appreciated that because they had originally told us it might take two days to finish the job. We had all our hardwired smoke detectors replaced, numerous light fixtures repaired and replaced and our outside electrical panel "rejuvenated". It was a long day and everything was done well and explained to me after all was completed. We were very happy with their work, read more

My son had them come to his house today for an estimate for electrical the electrician WAY overestimated the cost for a simple fix, as well as attempted to try to fix several items that are in absolutely no way in need of being fixed. BEWARE of this company and their attempts to overcharge for things you don't need! read more

They did an excellent job installing a new smoke alarm that had stopped working properly. Benny was very helpful and respectful. Took off his shoes outside, and brought slippers to wear inside our house. He was very thorough and checked all of our smoke alarms and then replaced the mail one which was electrically wired. I believe he did an excellent and thorough job. The price for all of this seemed reasonable, but most importantly was thorough so I don't have to worry any more. read more

We decided on a permanent solution for holiday lighting on the outside of our home. We selected Gubruds Services based on their prompt response & professionalism. Cory Deen came out to our home to make a bid and explain the process at length. He was extremely knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. The install went smoothly and we love the result! read more

I had Gubruds install a 240 electrical outlet in my garage to charge my electric vehicles in June of this yr 2025. Over weekend mobile charger reduced speed and said something was wrong with electrical outlet. I called them Monday morning on 12/29 and they said they would have someone out there next day between 8am-10am and I would receive a call 20 min prior to let me know electrician was on the way. I got a call at 7:40 am and recieved a text with the name, picture and experience of the electrician who was on the way. Never had that done before. Marcus showed up before 8 am followed by another electrician behind him. They tested outlet changed out the breaker and fixed the problem in under 30 min. I then asked how much did I owe and he said nothing, because it was still under warranty. WHAT!!! They put it in over 6 months ago .I was shocked. This is the best customer service I've had this year. They came out next day, on time fixed the problem, no charge. They check every box and they get a 5 star rating from me! read more

We have an old Craftsman built in 1925 that was in serious need of a new electrical system. Gubruds came out and did a free walk-through with photos to give us clear quotes on the different options for a whole-house rewire. They were considerably below other quotes and much more thorough so we went with them. The electricians, Marcus and Bud, were extremely competent, polite and careful with the lathe and plaster walls, old fixtures and furniture. They provided excellent labeling on the new box, super clean wiring and fixtures/receptacles. Communication was prompt and clear, costs were laid out upfront and they checked in with us throughout to make sure the work was up to our expectations. Marcus and Bud did an amazing job, the price was very reasonable, and although the overall project took a bit longer than we anticipated (due to also getting a new roof and solar panels which Gubruds also coordinated for us), we are very happy with how everything turned out. Definitely the best electricians we've found in the Sacramento area! read more

I needed an ethernet cable drop from one room to another in a single story house. The technician showed up prompt and was professional. Unfortunately, I didn't go through with the service. He wanted to charge me $2100 for the job. If he wanted to run cable throughout the entire house and all 5 rooms, that would be acceptable but a single room for $2100? Really??? If you're looking for a similar job I recommend using the "Thumbtack" app. After I posted the job I got several hits. I went with someone in the middle of the road who is charging $400 for the same job. Good luck read more

Maybe not as professional as the owner describes. A Grubruds' Rep came by to look at Service Panel replacement and provide an estimate for replacement. The Grubruds' Rep did provide an estimate, but the details (Important Stuff - Panel size, breakers, etc.. ) were incorrect. I recontacted the Rep, and asked him to fix the estimate, and he agreed. The Rep never got back to me. I called Gubruds on multiple occasions (phone and emails) and asked to speak to management. Besides going to the Gubruds general email, my last email went to the owner, Jay, and son-n-law, Tyler (manager). No one from Gubruds called me back. I guess they don't need my business (roughly $10K). If you do call Gubruds, beware! read more

Power panel was replaced. Amanda in the office was very communicative, and responsive to all of my questions. Scheduling was handled efficiently and job was finished on time. The electricians that worked on the panel did an excellent job, again responding to questions thoroughly and respectfully. They were fun too, which made the day more enjoyable. I highly recommend Gubruds! read more

Great quality service they did work for my mom Kirsten she is highly recommending of any of their services . She reported great work good prices and ideal for any electrical services read more

I was happy with your service, but not at all with the cost. The first visit was $474 minus the $149 ($325) for same day service. The repair consisted of replacing the belt, which I provided. At that time I was told the ceiling grate needed to be replaced because a slat had been sucked up into the fan and it would be replaced for the cost of $368 with no installation charge, due to possible repair persons fault. The total for both jobs came to $693 (plus $149 for same day service) to replace a belt, which, again, I supplied. Seems like I could have a whole new fan for that price. I don't appreciate price gouging and being taken advantage of. P.S. I didn't mention the first quote was $525 and when I questioned it he lowered it to $474. read more

I scheduled an electrician because I installed a new light fixture in my son's room but the fixture was not turning off with a newly installed light switch. I was told that it would cost $79 for an electrician to come out. When the electrician arrived for the appointment, the fee to actually diagnose the problem jumped up to $179. Then what was the $79 fee for? To have them ring the doorbell? Upon examination by the electrician, the light switch receptacle wasn't controlling the light fixture at all and a new leg had to be run down from the fixture to the tune of $400+. I felt like I was deceived by the initial charge. Just let your customers know that the starting cost for diagnosis at the home is at the very least $179. That would have changed my mind from the very onset. Even the electrician said the way the dispatch operators explain the price is confusing. If your own people know it's a problem, how do you expect your customers to react??? read more

I would recommend this company to anyone needing electrical service...Bonnie (the technician) was professional, and conscientious, listening to what I had to say about the service I expected & desperately needed. She didn't try & up-sell me or or fill my overloaded brain with some erroneous electrical terminology only Einstein would understand. She simply cut right to the point, providing me with a reasonable quote, and a variety of different options so I could afford to get the job done. Gubrud's customer service kicks %**% on the others !! Thank you, Bonnie from Gubruds Electrical Services for giving me the customer experience we deserve! read more

This is our second experience with Grubuds and once again, they were great. The technician, Marco was knowledgeable and patient. He addressed all of the issues with efficiency and expertise. He even spent extra time to go over a very complicated landscape lighting system to see where it could be improved. We appreciate their time and dedication to their customers. read more

They did not even bother to provide me with a quote. The office staff was very dismissive and disrespectful. I definitely will not work with them. read more

I was experiencing an electrical emergency at my home and the Gubrud's team came out within one hour of my phone call. They professionally and quickly assessed my situation and worked swiftly to minimize further damage to my electrical system at the house. Then they developed a quick plan of action to safely restore power at the house including rebuilding the main electrical box, putting in grounding rods and replacing all light switches and outlets. All this was done with extreme professionalism and top of the line technical expertise. Lead by Benny and his team, all technicians were great to work with. The office was pleasant as well providing regular communication on the status of my rebuild and next steps. They also worked closely with my insurance company to ensure my claim was handed smoothly. I highly recommend this firm for any electrical needs, whether it's an emergency or not. read more

What a rip off. Asked to replace a bad outlet. They tried to say they needed to do a diagnostic for $250. Ridiculous.

I was very pleased with my first contact with Gubrud's Electrical. The tech had to birddog a ruined receptacle that my handyman could not find! He found it and had everything working again in just a short time. Very courteous and friendly tech. He was teaching a young man, and their interactions were great! Good teacher. So this time I knew just who to call for some work I wanted. The scheduler was couteous and found me a good time. They followed up with reminder text messages. My tech was Bonnie. She was friendly, petted my dog (who seemed to like her), asked questions about the jobs i wanted done. First, she taught me a bit about GFI's so i can resolve a certain problem myself if it happens again. Then she went to work installing a new exterior receptacle and removing some old sconces. She explained the costs clearly, made sure that I received a senior discount, and even threw in a couple screws! Bonnie was a pleasure to have here. She wore her mask and booties inside, she chatted when appropriate, she did her work quickly, professionally and neatly. Thank you, Gubrud's. read more

Highly, highly recommend Gubruds. Marco and Geon(?) did an extremely well job with my project. They were very professional and friendly. I called on a Wednesday to have an in home estimate for my project which consisted of installing a new dedicated 20a circuit to my dinning room to provide more power for a very large aquarium. Marco was able to come out two days later on a Friday, did a quick estimate and scheduled the start date that upcoming Thursday. The estimate was fairly reasonable, probably even better than others. Come Thursday, he was able to install the new circuit within 3 hours. He did an amazing job and I'm extremely happy with the job done. I forgot to mention during the estimate that I wanted dual outlets instead of a single, and he was easily able to accommodate my request. I'm glad I decided to go with Gubruds for this project. I will be calling them again to have future projects done. I wish I went with them for a previous job I had done 6 months prior. read more

6/20/23 Hired Gubruds to bring our electrical panel up to code and install a dedicated line to the microwave. Benny started out by showing up 4 hours late and his assistant Mike was even 1 hr. later. This company does not show up on time! They even sold us a "Guardian Membership" which guarantees we will be bumped up in front of others to show up on time. That is a waste of money! Plus you can only use 1 coupon at a time. I tried to combine 5 of the coupons but was denied. After paying them for the work, I asked for a receipt but did not get one. An itemized invoice would have been nice to show how much each item costs and each discount. Breakdown labor & materials would have been nice. Benny told me this company has a computer bid for them. Therefore you never get an itemization of costs. It's just one lump sum. I will not be using this company again or recommend them!!!!! read more

I've used Gubruds twice now. They're efficient and reasonable. Tony does a great job.

I'm a little late but I wanted to say thank you BONNIE for being amazing!! Thank you for fixing the issue at our rental property on such a short notice. I will definitely be using Guburds for future services. Thank you! read more

Negative 100 stars. Two of the outlets and light switch in our house were not working all of a sudden. We have an old house so we thought we need to get an electrician. We found this company on Angie's List. We called and we were told they will come to check the problem for free and give us a quote. They came over, didn't look at anything, and told us it would cost $266 for a diagnostic and easy fix. We became suspicious. They looked at our circuit breaker box. We asked them how much to change two outlets with GFCI. They said the whole thing would cost $600+. We became more suspicious and said no. Then they lowered it to $400+. We said no because it felt shady. When they left. After reading things on the Internet, we decided to go to the circuit breaker box and turned off everything and turned it all back on, and then voila, the outlets and light switch that was broken is now working. So these people were gonna charge us hundreds of dollars to turn the switch back off and on? read more

We had several light fixtures, a ceiling fan and exhaust fan installed. Gubrud's had no problem with doing the job since we had purchased our fixtures and did not get them through Gubrud's. We had a slight hiccup when the receptionist did not actually reschedule my appointment. The day of, no one showed up. She apologized and rescheduled for a couple of days later. Benny was so pleasant and went above and beyond when getting my down rod for the ceiling fan to work. I ordered the wrong one. Gubrud's price matched an electrical company that I had received an estimate from prior to calling Gubrud's. I definitely recommend Gubrud's. read more

I wanted to get rid of my old gas kitchen range for a new electric one. Gubards made it easy to add the 240 needed. Bonnie came out to assess the job and she knew exactly what I needed done. The job was scheduled right away - no waiting!! Louis and Jesus showed up on time and made suggestions to improve the job. I even got them to install a new porch light while they were here. They were thorough, fast, and extremely professional. I highly recommend this company. read more

My newly delivered dryer would not turn on and the delivery people said it had to be the electrical outlet or breaker. I contacted Gubruds and set an appointment for a technician to come out to diagnose the problem. Robert, the technician was able to diagnose the problem and fix the issue. He explained the issue and answered all of my questions so I would understand the issue and the solution. He had to obtain the part but did so promptly and I was soon very happily doing laundry once again. Robert was very professional and courteous. Overall very happy with the service, from the person scheduling the service to the technician performing the service. read more

All of our living room circuits blew out. Flipping the circuit breakers switches was not working. We called Gubruds and they sent out Josh. He was very efficient, explaining to us what the issue was and how to avoid it in the future. He answered all our questions and was VERY friendly! He got everything working. We will definitely will be calling Gubruds for any future issues. And good luck with your new house, Josh!!! read more

Gubruds Services - Highly recommended! Thank you! M! - Electricians Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Updated 7/2/19: Another contractor just came out and told me that all that needed to be done was turn on the secondary switch in the attic (which Gubrud's installed in 2006), and when that switch was turned on the whole house fan worked perfectly. So instead of repairing or replacing my whole house fan, which Gubrud's was going to do for between $1500 and $3K, I paid $100 for a service call. Draw your own conclusions. Got an estimate for installation of a whole house fan. Unfortunately the estimate did not break down the cost of the unit from the installation, nor did the invoice give the model number of the unit making comparison shopping impossible. I had to make 3 calls to Gubrud's to get the information I needed. They wanted to charge me $3K for a $1400 whole house fan, meaning that their charge for installation was $1600 or about $200/hour which is outrageous. Their lack of transparency is appalling and I will never use this company again, nor would I recommend them to anyone. read more

Gubrud's hit the mark on a number of things that are very important to me as someone shopping for a contractor. They answered the phone promptly, listened to my description of the work to be done and understood what I was looking for, and they scheduled an estimate appointment that was timely rather than weeks and weeks out. I had a number of projects to get done: updating knob and tube wiring and grounding outlets throughout my 1937 home, adding outlets and switches in a number of rooms, installing new light fixtures, improving wiring in my garage, and modernizing an outdated breaker box. Jeffrey, the electrician who did my estimate, listened to my wish list and proposed a number of different options for what I was looking to accomplish, and explained what the result of each option would be if I chose it. I was confident with what the plan was for all the work when I scheduled the appointment. The work itself took three days, the first day with electricians Bonnie and Marcus and the next two with just Marcus. They showed up promptly and were very courteous in my home, listened to my concerns and consulted with me whenever there was a question about how I wanted things done. When they were done with the work each day, they cleaned up any mess or debris and made sure I had all my questions answered before leaving. Throughout the process I never felt out of the loop or unclear about what was going on. There were a few things on my admittedly long wish list that didn't get communicated correctly from the electrician who drew up the estimate to the ones who completed the work, but we sorted that out right away because they walked through the list with me before beginning work. I never felt like the work wasn't being done properly or safely. I am incredibly relieved to now have safe and modernized electrical components in my home, and I feel confident in the work that Gubrud's electricians did. read more

I had a wiring problem with my patio fan. Bonnie from Gubruds came out the next day. She was very professional and took the time to explain everything to me. She was wonderful and I will utilize their services again. Bob P. read more

Wow! What a complicated thing. Call for appointment and the cluck says there are emergency and regular service calls. I ask what the price difference is. Well, says the cluck. Do you want emergency or regular" Cluck can't tell me what the emergency will cost. So cluck books appt. Cluck says she has to TRANSFER me to the place that does the emergency stuff. So cluck books appt and I ask when I will get to talk to the emergency place. Cluck says I ....can't....because she booked the appointment. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo you can book an appt or get emergency service but they can't tell you how much the emergency service costs. This is such a shame. I would NEVER DO BIZZ HERE !!!! read more

We needed an electrician FAST - after trying a few other companies, we called gubruds and they sent Craig - our new lifetime electrician- to come see us. Craig was a really nice guy- he really took the time and sat down with our family over lunch and explained what needed to happen to keep our home safe. He got the ball rolling the same day on projects and worked out some future projects for us to plan out and budget for. If you're looking for a company that really values having someone you'd bring around your family clmfortably, want reasonably priced work and good warranties, call in and ask for Craig. read more

Gubruds have very talented and knowledgeable technicians. I have had their services in the past and was very pleased. Also, I was very excited to know they can install electric car chargers at your home for your EVs. read more

We have used Gubrud's twice to install ceiling fans and both times they were awesome. They were communicative, on time, polite and they knew what they were doing. We had Marcus both times, and he was great! Super friendly and knew what he was doing. read more

I hired Gubruds Electrical to repair/service/replace my next door neighbor's smoke alarms. Robert Vergara did the job and was by far the most efficient, knowledgeable, and articulate person I've ever had do work for me. He replaced a couple of smoke alarms and made sure that all of them were working fine. The alarms are hard-wired to the house, which means that no more batteries need to be changed, and no more beeping in the middle of the night. Robert is the best. read more

They quickly resolved our problem at a fair price. Cory was knowledeable and followed up. I would hir again.

I don't know anybody who could write anything less than 5 stars about this agency. Gubruds's Electrical Contracting is professional, clean, on-time, and HONEST! I find it difficult to find professionals that are able to come out and be honest with their quite and give me concise information about the problem at hand, Jeffrey was more than able to do that. When there was a problem Jeffrey was able to come out quickly and was able to diagnose and mitigate the problem within an hour. Their prices are fair and they are transparent in them as well. I will always reach out to them when we are in need of anything. read more
