Carlos arrived right on time to advise me on an "open ground" kitchen circuit. He also reviewed our very "dated" 1956 fuse box. Very knowledgeable and honest with his recommendations. Knows what he's talking about, I would not use any other electrician for our future work, and I recommend Guerreros Electric with no reservation. read more

So our electricity went out on a friday (ironically Edison's birthday) and we have a total unresponsive landlord so by Saturday I started calling around for an electrician. I called a few other places before Guerreros and I got some pretty rude guys who acted like I was a bother to them. Hey, I thought electricians were supposed to help you when your lights go out. Saturday I called Guerroeros. He was so nice and patient with me. First he tried to walk me through fixing it myself and with then suggested I pursue reaching my landlord before having him come out. With no luck I asked him to come out and he did so the next morning on a Sunday. In no time he fixed everything for a third of what others were quoting me. Plus he told us exactly what happened and gave us advice to avoid another outage. For sure call him for any of your electrical needs! read more

Stayed under quote and within stated timeframe for project completion. Appreciate the tiny extras done and will recommend / use again.

Carlos was great to work with, very easy going, answered every question I had, did the job super quick, and, no kidding, was 80% cheaper than the first quote I had to do the job. Amazing. read more

Carlos and his team did exceptional work redoing our wiring in our kitchen and installing new lights and outlets. He also cleaned up our electric box that wasn't wired properly and labeled all of the switches without us even having to ask. He was very flexible with working with our schedule and went above and beyond to help us out. read more

Excellent service. Solved an electrical problem with expertise, punctuality, courtesy. Will definitely go to again.

Repeating previous review: Raul came out less than an hour after I called, told me the price-ranges up-front, then identified the problem (previous owners'/renters' "Mickey Mouse" wiring) and fixed it within the first visit. He kept me in the loop on what he was doing and what was wrong, and gave advice on other issues in the house he wasn't even going to be working on. Could not be more satisfied - thanks Raul! read more

I needed an electrician and when I called and spoke with Carlos, he understood exactly what I wanted and gave me a very reasonable quote and an appointment was made. Two days later, exactly as scheduled Service Techs Damien and Jessie arrived and worked respectfully of my property. The task was completed so professionally that I had them do an additional task. They cleaned the area of work and I couldn't be more pleased. If I need any additional work, I will not hesitate to call them !!! read more

Power went out in half our house. I spoke to several electricians, but only Carlos walked me through checking my PGE Smart Meter. After I told him what it said (which was nothing - it was blank) he said, "You don't need me. Call PGE." I am stunned by his generosity, honesty and helpfulness - and he just became my go-to guy when I need some electrical work done. read more

Really classy guys. We had just moved into a new house and the electric was on the fritz, and we called these guys in a panic to come out on a Saturday and fix everything (lights and outlets all over the house). Instead of coming and charging us for their time, my husband spoke extensively with Carlos on the phone (who returned our panicked call promptly on a weekend), and Carlos' advice was to first call PG&E, who could come and check our main power source...for free. We did, and PG&E was able to fix the problem (which Carlos correctly diagnosed over the phone), saving us a bunch of time, money, and peace of mind. Seriously...a very classy move. We'll be keeping these guys on speed dial for when we do actually need them. read more

I was very impressed with the professional attitude and intelligence of Carlos and appreciated his fair and clearly stated pricing. My electrical problems were solved in short order! read more

Carlos was responsive via telephone and setting up an in-person appointment was relatively easy via e-mail. He confidently diagnosed the problem and graciously charged us the lesser of two quoted fees because, in the end, there was not much work to do (as we are renters). read more

I like do to as much of our renovations myself as I can, but there are plenty of projects that lie outside my confidence. When they come up, I look to Yelp to search out really good local skill. Guerrero's is one of those great finds. I contacted Carlos to install a sub-panel to support the new circuits I was adding for our kitchen remodel. He came out the next day, gave me a very reasonable quote and chatted with me about the wiring I was planning. A few weeks later (my schedule) they installed the panel, took a look at the work I'd done, and made a few suggestions. Between the time of the quote and the work, I'd discovered that the 240v stove circuit had been totally messed up (by a guy who is, thankfully and not surprisingly, now out of business - this was pre-Yelp, of course). Carlos replaced the circuit for a nominal charge (about a third what the first guy charged to do it wrong). He also offered to be on hand for the inspection, but I knew how packed his schedule was and I was so confident of the work, I decided to handle the inspection right along with the one for the electrical that I'd done. My confidence in Guerreros was fully warranted, the inspection went off without a hitch. They worked quickly, on budget, and provided those little touches that promise a great, long-lasting relationship. I already have a couple of projects in mind for them. read more

Carlos at Guerreros Electric is fair and prompt. I had an issue where one of my electrical outlets in my kitchen shorted and caused sparks and a burning smell as a result of poor wiring. I called Carlos on a Friday night, and unexpectedly he answered the phone and advised me to shut the power off to those outlets immediately for our safety. He came the next day to fix the problem in less than an hour and charged us a fair rate. He was prompt, professional, and very easy to get along with. Highly recommend using him read more

Had Carlos back, to install an EV car charger this time. He came the next day after I called. Again, he did an excellent job. Professional, smart, on time, everything done right. Still highly recommended. read more

These guys deserve the five star overall rating they have. Very impressed with their responsiveness and friendliness. I had an outlet installed on our patio and these guys got the job done quickly and for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended! read more

It all started from first contact. I emailed Carlos at Guerreros Electric to request a home visit and quote. Carlos replied that day (a Friday) and was able to come by on Monday. I got his quote on Tuesday. That small interaction revealed his responsiveness and attention to detail that permeates all of his work. In stark contrast, the other electricians I contacted took weeks to just get a quote. When Carlos was doing the walk through, he explained in detail all the things called out on our home inspection report in addition to any other items he saw that needed attention. He was honest and forthright in helping me better understand knob and tube wiring and some of the pre-existing work done by the prior homeowner. We decided to go with Guerreros Electric in large part to the way Carlos runs his business. We were doing a mixed bag of work (cleaning up the main panel wiring, installing new outlets, rewiring pre-existing older outlets, etc.) and Carlos let me know his crew would arrive at 8:10 a.m. on the scheduled work day. His full crew arrived before 8:10. I watched them operate as a fully integrated team. They immediately dispersed across different tasks. One of his crew working inside first laid out plastic along the walkways to protect our rugs and flooring. Each person on the team assigned to a task was working efficiently and it was all coordinated by Carlos on site who was also attending to our main panel clean up. Throughout the day as the team finished each task, they left the area cleaner than when they arrived. When the team finished and were packed up ready to go, Carlos noticed an external flood light that was installed but not wired. He stayed behind with one member of his team to wire it correctly and even installed a motion detector to replace the daylight sensor that was previously installed. All of this happened at the low end of his quote and I cannot emphasize how happy I was with their work. I absolutely highly recommend Guerreros Electric. I know this is my first and only Yelp review but I felt compelled to sign up and leave this review based on the level of professional work we received. read more

My wife and I just finished a full kitchen remodel and used Guerreros Electric. A friend recommended him to me so we gave him a call. I had a contractor but I was essentially my own general and managed all the subs. There were several delays that were out of all parties control (generally on the supply side) so the project took several weeks longer than first anticipated. From the beginning to the end Carlos was timely, polite, knowledgeable, professional, clean, and accommodating. His time and budget estimates were accurate. His crew was extremely prompt and efficient - I couldn't believe it. One of his crew came out to the job site the Friday before the Monday they were going to start to review the plans and roughed out walls. The team shows up the next Monday AM to get started and he knew the plans inside and out and could recite the entire project from memory (accurately). Carlos showed up for all inspections personally and even helped my young contractors out in the process. I would use Carlos again in the future in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone. read more

Great team! Arrived on time,and quickly set up work area, covering the floor and furniture. Discussed work with Carlos and he made several helpful suggestions. Very happy with the installation of our recessed lights! Will definitely use them again and highly recommend to others. read more

6 years later, I am still calling Carlos first. This time he installed a car charger for us--and while he was there, fixed all sorts of other things. He's really a gem. read more

We were having problems with one of our old knob and tube circuits and no ground wire, so we decided to upgrade our electrical this year. Guerrero's disconnected all knob and tube, rewired with Romex, inspected some Romex that wasn't done quite right by a previous electrician, inspected our main panel, gave us a new subpanel, moved our dryer outlet, put in lots more receptacles and switches, some ceiling lighting, and installed all our new outdoor lights (LED). Most importantly they ran us new ground wires. We now have all new electrical in our house in Berkeley thanks to Carlos and his crew and we're very happy. Carlos really knows the Berkeley code (I wanted to meet code) which can be complicated. He worked closely with me on the best positioning for our recessed lighting in the living room, which was tricky because of the ceiling joists. His crew worked in our house opening up walls to run the Romex, up in our attic with blown in insulation, and down in our crawlspace. The guys were really nice and took good care of our house. And Carlos took good care of his crew, which is really important to me. [I've worked with contractors that do not treat their employees well.] I really liked working with Carlos and am happy to support a local business. Five stars! read more

I got shocked in my shower when I touched a faucet. Then my husband got shocked by the faucet while doing the dishes. This was at 6pm on Saturday night. I called Guerreros electric and Carlos picked up and immediately warned me to not touch anything metal, to wear rubber shoes, to cut the electricity to my home and to call PG&E for a faulty ground, which I did. Carlos informed me that my family was in danger and helped walk us through to safety. We are not even clients, just a random phone call on Saturday night. He followed through with text messages to ensure we were safe and following up with next steps. He is truly an incredible person and knowledgeable. I will call him after the earthquake when I can maybe afford to buy a home in my hometown. read more

Carlos is prompt, efficient and courteous. Great service, great price and totally listened to us and what we needed. He rewired the older parts of our Frankenstein house and installed a new box, gave good advice. He is the best. You will pay more and get less if you use someone else! read more

Amazing to get an electrician to come so quickly, for a relatively small job, and such excellent work. We'll be back!

I had Guerreros Electric come out to perform some fairly substantial electrical work on my house (old wiring, etc.). He gave a realistic assessment of what needed to be done and a very competitive estimate. Carlos did an excellent job, making sure to correct all the issues and went the extra mile several times to make sure everything was done properly (and safely). Also, the job was completed in a timely and tidy manner! I highly recommend Guerreros Electric and wold not hesitate to use them again for any future electrical work! read more

Guerreros Electric is great! We had them do some major work in our house - Carlos made sure things were done correctly and on time. When we reviewed the work, there was one small thing that got missed. Carlos immediately apologized, and resolved the issue. With a project as large as ours, there was bound to be something that got missed - what I like is that Carlos immediately took ownership, resolved the issue, and made sure that we were satisfied. We will definitely use Carlos again - very highly recommended! read more

Carlos is very responsive when we first call him. He asked me to send him the picture of the track light and came respond back quickly. My track light wasn't working when we brought the loft. We didn't know how it was switch on or off. It was a mess. He scheduled a time with us and was there on-time. I highly recommend him. read more

These guys are awesome. I called them for a check of my ground lines because I was getting new pipes in my home. They were prompt, thorough, and reasonable. Carlos and his team were great. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

Called out Carlos based on Yelp reviews, and they were right Carlos and his team showed up on time and finished on time. He replaced all of the old knob and tube wiring in the house, and came in on-budget, despite several of the 'surprises' that always crop up whenever anybody opens up the plaster/drywall in our 100 year old craftsman home. Carlos explained everything as he went along, and his crew upgraded a lot of the electrical items around the house that weren't even mentioned in the original bid. Am very happy to have found Carlos.....he is a great improvement over electrians we have hired in the past. read more

I just got a replacement hot tub delivered yesterday and because of my own mistake the electrician who usually installs them wouldn't be able to come around for a week. I called Mr. Guerreros that afternoon and he was on my doorstep early this morning to bid the job. He could have done it sooner than their guy and gave me a competitive price. But in the mean time we heard back from the fellow who'd wired our original hot tub and he was able to stop by at lunch today and get it done. Nice to know we've got an electrician as efficient and well loved (judging by YELP) as Carlos Guerreros in our neighborhood for in the future. I'm keeping his number for next time. read more

It was so easy to work with Carlos (and his helper Jose)! He was really responsive ahead of our appointment, and on the day of, he was very quick to finish the work of adding two outlets in our TV room. His price is very reasonable. He stayed within his original estimate even though he did a little extra work that he felt needed to be done to make our house safer. Highly recommend him! read more

We had a pair of aging gas water heaters that we wanted to upgrade to all electric heaters - to substantially reduce our home's carbon emissions. However we were advised by the water heater installers that our main electric panel didn't have enough capacity to add the electric water heaters we wanted. So I went to the Yelp website and quickly found Guerreros Electric, a local company with a 5 star rating and over 100 outstanding customer reviews. I requested a bid on a project to upgrade our main panel to a 225 amp panel. I received a very quick reply and an immediate appointment for an inspection and cost free discussion of our upgrade options. Soon thereafter I received a very reasonable bid and a quick timeline (within days) to start the project. Bingo! I accepted the bid and they finished the main work on this big panel upgrade in 1 & 1/2 days, meeting all of our special requests for locating the new panel, placing 2-30 amp lines for our new water heaters, painting the new high amperage service hookup a color to match our house trim, tastefully capping off the old service hookup, and nicely closing up the old (now defunct) service panel. In addition they pulled all the local electrical permits, arranged the completion inspection by the City and arranged for PG&E to hang the new high amp power line (in a new location) and remove the old line - all this for no additional expense. Awesome performance!. We couldn't be more pleased! I very highly recommend Guerreros Electric. When we do next project to replace our gas furnace with an electric heat pump, I plan to call on Carlos and his excellent crew to do the electrical work, running it off the new high amperage main panel he installed for us. This will put us further down the road to our goal of running a modern carbon neutral home . read more

I needed an emergency service visit and found Guerrero's Electric on Angie's list. I called the company on a Saturday, on behalf of my parents who live in the East Bay. My parents are older and quite vulnerable. I come home to aid them with their transactions. I live far away and was nervous about having a new servicer come to the house without being present to vet the company. I took a leap of faith and tried Guerrero's. They were kind, respectful, trustworthy and professional. They were also sensitive to working with older and disabled people. I could tell by the cost and my father's report that Carlos, the electrician who came, would never take advantage of the elderly or anyone who is disenfranchised. Finding services providers of this nature is invaluable to me. I highly recommend their service and we will hire them for our next electrical repair or project. read more

Excellent service, on time, knowledgeable, friendly . Just superb!

I have been reading the great reviews Guerreros Electric get for years. A couple of times I have gotten quotes but they were a little higher so I went with other electricians. Big mistake. I always end up having to get something similar done in a couple of years. This time I did get them to do the work and the quality of care and the knowledge was more than worth the little extra I paid than other quotes. No comparison. They ended up redoing a lot of the work I had done over the years and told me why I keep having trouble. They showed me what they would do and why. I feel so much safer and really appreciate the professionalism. I don't really understand why other electricians didn't pick up on the problems because they seem so obvious to me after walking through everything. Thank you Carlos and team. read more

Called after hours. Carlos answered and was very patient and extremely helpful. Instead of just getting the job he actually helped me solve the problem and ensuring it does not happen again. I will definitely call him again. read more

Called and he came 20 minutes later...on a Saturday late afternoon. Very nice and knows what he's doing. Highly recommend to all!

Haven't hired Carlos, and review is based on my phone conversation with him. Very pleasant guy who provided useful advice (that might actually result in obviating the need for an electrician). It's really refreshing to talk with a straight-shooter and that alone is the basis for five stars. read more

I had a very positive experience with Carlos. He was very candid and honest about his estimate and recommendations, and kept me posted as parts of the job were completed over the course of a day. And then gave me a discount off of the price originally quoted! I will remain a loyal customer of his. read more

had a problem with the cables connecting my meter to my service panel, called PG&E, who said they wanted to fix it, but then when they showed up they claimed i needed to hire an electrician instead. I called Guerreros and they took care of it quickly and courteosly, and took the time to explain what was wrong in terms I could understand. Thanks! read more
