Then when we decided to get our old house's electrical updated and solar ready, Chris installed an entire new electrical system. Chris is professional, always prompt and very knowledgeable. We recently remodeled our kitchen and Chris rewired the entire room, added under cabinet lighting and additional outlets. We recommend CS Electric for any job, large and small.

Chris is a wonderful human being and excellent electrician! He is honest, caring, on time, answers his phone, does high quality work, is careful not to break things in your house and cleans up everything after the job. Good attitude is everything to me and Chris delivers that to perfection. I highly recommend him.

We already had an existing power box outside the garage so all we needed was the bring it to the other side of the wall and get a plug outlet added. We got a few quotes back pretty quickly but JJC Electric's price was the best. Additionally, they said that they were able to do it the following day! We communicated via text and they were able to get the outlet installed in a little over an hour. They also helped us close a hole that was in the power box and sealed up the sides. They tested the outlet and showed us that there was running power and told us that their work is guaranteed. The also sent us an invoice once they finished the job. Overall, they were very professional, pricing was good, and would recommend.

We also needed an elegant solution to power our main panel off a backup generator. The original 6-circuit bypass box was unsatisfactory and so he created a safe way to power up the main panel, allowing all circuits to be energized. Jamie's quote was very detailed and competitive. The job took 3 days and he worked very long hours with his assistant Lilly while we were out of town. The final project is outstanding and all work was done to code. Great communication and flexibility! I highly recommend his work!

I needed a 200AMP upgrade, I needed a new 125Amp panel in my garage, a new EV outlet and I needed multiple indoor and outdoor outlets. I looked at eight different contractors and while they were similar, I got lots of bad advice until I met with Chris. Some told me a wrong application of the code. Others purposely made the work harder than it should of been, and others wouldn't commit to making sure the work looked good. I met with Chris and he wrote a very simple and thorough estimate. I agreed with all of his recommendations because they were all right! Chris's work took multiple days and he explained in simple terms each part of the installation. He was very good at communicating next steps and I could usually expect a response from him within a week on any questions that I had. (Electricians are busy during the day!) Chris was the 2nd lowest bid because he didn't add dumb work like the other electricians did. If you get an estimate from him, it'll be a fair value for the work involved. The outlet installations were expensive, I thought, but then I saw the work he had to go through to install them and it all made sense. You're paying for an expert to do it correctly and last forever. No sloppiness! We discovered multiple adjustments we needed to make during the install and Chris was very flexible where it made sense. When I made a bad suggestion, he would tell me why that wasn't a good idea...and he was right. I would trust his recommendations. PG&E screwed up our appointments but Chris is incredibly gracious and patient and even did some of their work on his own. After all is said and done, the wiring looks great, the wife is happy and we are set for the next 50 years. He should be your last call, after you talk to the other clowns out there...because you'll realize he's the electrician you can trust.

I used him for a small project at a rental house In Soquel. He strung out the time on the job and charged me double or more of what it should have cost. I needed it done soon. He has an edge to him, and he seems very nice and tries to be your best buddy at first, but hes very intense and easily flips if you question anything. He called for work a week or 2 ago asking if I had any projects for him. I then called back and had a small transformer issue at another house. He said that basically he might be there all day without even looking at the job. My radar went up another red flag. He to make it seem like everything's going to take a long time. He hadnt even asked me what the issue was! Again he had to bring another guy for a simple transformer issue for some track lights in a ceiling. Then he shows up 40 minutes late gets out of his car and starts to talk down to me. Insane. He has no customer service skills and is very aggressive, I would not recommend him to anyone for anything.

When I called on 7/8/18 the guy was super rude, he acted as if I inconvenienced him by calling. He was, as another reviewer stated, patronizing and condescending. When I described the work I wanted done and cost he replied very smugly; "I charge $225.00 an hour, so you tell me how long it will take!".... Are you kidding me! Who says that to a customer! It's his job to know how long and how much! This gave me a bad feeling of dishonesty and untrustworthiness so I went with another electrician. Again maybe he does great work however if first impressions account for anything then I'd have to say BUYER BEWARE!
