Very prompt response and convenient appt. time. Fixed problem quickly, explaining everything. Highly recommended.

Chris was great! He installed our Tesla EV charger. He explained everything in detail, got us the best price possible (explaining each charge), and performed his work with professionalism and proficiency. And he's a really nice guy, too! Would definitely hire him again. read more

See all

Had a small electrical issue that was above my pay grade but seemed like an easy fix - well Chris made it even easier than I could've imagined. He coordinated a pretty immediate appointment with me amidst his busy schedule and quickly got to work figuring things out. Chris is super friendly, personable, and educational in his approach to troubleshooting - something I really appreciated as a newish homeowner searching for answers (or just some context). I will definitely be calling Chris again and I would recommend him to anyone! read more

Chris came in during our bath remodel project. He did what I asked even though he had other ideas and double-checked to be sure I wanted what I said I did. 2 weeks later I called Chris to say... he was right, and I was wrong, and could he please come back? He did, happily, even though it was a tiny job, and he did not say, "I told you so". Really competent, personable guy. Highly recommended. Will definitely use Kellas Electric again. read more

Chris Kellas was awesome. Very nice, straightforward, honest gentleman who showed up on time and did as he promised. I have called many electricians through Yelp and many are flakey and show poor follow through. This is not the case with Chris. I'm very happy with the work done on my house and I recommend him highly. Call him now. He's the real deal. read more

Kellas Electric - Electricians Near Me

Chris was great. He communicated well, worked with my schedule, then gave good advice on what repairs were electrical, which were appliance concerns, as well as proactive tips. He did the work that was needed in good time. I felt like we really got our money's worth. Highly recommended. read more

Found Chris on Yelp and based on past reviews decided to get an estimate from him on a basement buildout. After we got several quotes we decided to use Chris based on his knowledge of what needed to get done by code and we are very glad we did! He was by far the best electrician we have ever had and we have used many on previous home remodels/renovations. Not only did he finish earlier than he originally stated but he came in cheaper than his original estimate which was already fairly priced! On top of that, Chris also helped me wire a couple of outside outlets that were not on the original estimate, at no charge. When inspection time came, all the electrical work passed with flying colors. We will never use another electrician again! Thanks again Chris! read more

Chris is very nice, completed the job quickly and reasonably priced. I will use him the next time I need an electrician!

Chris is a really nice guy, a consummate professional, totally capable. Pricing was fair and clear. No games, no BS, did everything exactly as asked. Zero issues, will gladly use again read more

Chris was great . He did a thorough job of checking the outlet and letting me know about that the wires were lose and causing arcing. He replaced in five minutes and I was back in business. Chris was very nice . He worked well and was very knowledgeable. We will call him for our service. He is reasonable ,price wise as well. read more

I thought I needed to replace a circuit breaker in my home electrical panel which blew after installing a smart switch. Chris was there early the next morning with the replacement, but it only took him about 5 minutes to discover it wasn't the breaker and diagnose and fix the problem with the wiring in the house, and then he didn't charge me for the breaker. I don't think you could find a better residential electrician. Super responsive, friendly, professional, honest and reasonable. Definitely, my go-to electrician. read more

Chris was wonderful to work with. I needed some new outlets installed in my basement, and the breakers split apart (things were weirdly wired, and the breaker kept tripping), and within a couple of days of first contact, he had come and completed the work for a more than fair price. And then there is what a great guy he was to talk to -- super professional, gave great advice, and discussed options with me before we decided on the right plan. read more

Kellas came out to install an EV charger lightning fast, at a competitive price, and was personable and knowledgeable. Great service!

Chris can do it all. He dealt with permits and inspections, installed everything from wiring to lighting to switches for undercabinet lighting, got rid of dated fixtures and installed recessed LED lighting, got rid of weird & illogical switches - the list goes on and on. He's fast, flexible, patient, personable and trustworthy. I've dealt with a lot of contractors, and Chris is one of a kind. There's no bait and switch - he's the guy who answers the phone, and he's the guy who does the work. Do yourself a favor and give him a call. read more

My neighbor/friend asked me to recommend an Electrician. So YELP to the rescue! Called Kellas Electric for her and Chris was out the next morning bright and early. Very proficient, professional and all around nice guy, that's what I heard. Keeping his number handy, just in case (knock on wood!). THANK YOU CHRIS! read more

Great guy! Very friendly and professional. Very responsive and easy to get up with. Also very reasonable prices. Most electricians I priced out were going to charge me $150 just to show up my house. For the same price, I got the whole issue fixed within 20 minutes. Will certainly use Chris for future electrical/maintenance needs. read more

I hired Chris to come in and add 220 lines throughout my studio. Chris listened about my needs and desires and came up solutions to those needs and offered different ways to do it based on my budget. He didn't have to do that. He easily could have just gone the more expensive route. On the day of the job, he was on time, efficient as hell in his work habits, finished on time and did a thorough clean up and a re-inspection of his work. He did not leave until he knew I was satisfied. A true pro. read more

Chris was awesome - very responsive & personable! He installed some 220 outlets and a new subpanel in my garage. The work was done quickly & professionally - fit and finish for the new installation were spot on. Best of all - he was VERY reasonable. I highly recommend Chris, and will definitely use him in the future. read more

Responsive, pleasant, and a total treasure. We had a laundry list of issues that we presented to Chris. None of it startled him. He walked us through everything he would do and made some excellent suggestions. He even made some discoveries about our building that we weren't aware of and was a total dear in explaining all the new stuff. Once he got started on the work, he attacked that to-do list like a fairy godparent. In less time than I thought was possible, everything was done. Shortly after that first fix-fest, we grew yet another list of electrical needs and were more than happy to call him again. read more

Chris was great, was able to fit our small job in between his larger jobs. Good work, good price, and a good guy. Nice to have a go-to person for residential electrical work. read more

Timely response, excellent price, professional results: Checkity check-check. Chris replaced five original fixtures at our recently-purchased 25-year-old home with new devices we purchased. Three fixtures were on 9-foot ceilings; the other two were up at 10'6". All the installations were complete in under 3 hours, and that included a certain amount of improvisation to overcome oddities in the original installations. Kellas Electric will be my first call the next time we need help wrangling electrons. read more

I called Chris because our fridge outlet kept going on and off. He actually answered his phone after 2 rings. When I told him what the problem was he said he would be over in 20minutes to take a look and see what he would do. When he got to the house he was very nice and professional and explained what he needed to do. We set-up an appt for the following week, it wasn't as major as we had thought, and he quoted us a price and how long it was going to take him. Chris arrived on time the following week and got right to work. He was finished sooner then he had anticipated so that brought the price down a bit. We will be calling him anytime we need an electrician, which will be sooner rather then later because we are going to have him run cable in our house (gasp, there is a house out there that has never had cable installed in it!!) read more

Chris was so great! He came quickly and did the work quickly. He helped us figure out what options we had and helped us make the best choice. He's fun and did the work for a great price. I'd definitely call him again. read more

Outstanding contractor! Great work & done in a timely manner. I would recommend Mr. Kellas to anyone that is looking for a trustworthy electrician. read more

Did you ever have the feeling after hiring a plumber or electrician that you were mugged? You won't get that feeling from Chris Kellas. He's smart, fast and personable. He explained what was causing my problem and treated me quite fairly. I couldn't be happier and recommend him most highly! read more

Chris Kellas has done work for me before, in an old Victorian full of surprises, and just this week he did some lighting installations in a new condo building. He is terrific. On time, efficient, impeccable work, honest, eager to save you money, etc..etc... Nothing but praise from me, and my highest recommendations. His number: 415 702-5227 read more

We hired Chris to do some electrical work for a condo conversion in April 2012. We liked his creative solutions (and his price). Also, he was very responsive by email and phone whenever we needed. His work was clean and to the point. And he's friendly and won't hesitate to answer questions or explain what he's doing. A few days later, the city inspector signed us off, no problem. Overall experience was quick and easy. Bottom line, I highly recommend Chris. read more

It took a mere two visits our house for me to text everyone I know and say, "Do you need an electrician?!?! We know someone amazing!" Chris went above and beyond to troubleshoot some issues at our house and work on our breaker box. He spent all day at our house in the sweltering heat, and then spent an additional hour at no charge waiting for workmen from our electric company to show up so he could ensure all was well before he went home. My favorite thing about Chris is that he would rather say, "I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but here's what you should take note of the next time it happens so that I can get a better idea..." rather than making something up on the spot and charging for work that might not even need to be done. He is not only a knowledgeable and competent electrician, but a wonderful person to sit and talk to for a while (ask him about his many hobbies!). He clearly cares about the quality of his work and does not overcharge for it - and I would easily pay more knowing that the work was done correctly and done well. We have officially found The One in Chris! Don't call anyone else. Just call him. You won't regret it! read more

Superb service! After leaving a message with Chris, he was out the same day to repair faulty three-way electrical switches I had in the home. I know I have my go-to electrician now. read more

I'm joining the list of other yelpers who have awarded Chris five stars. We had three projects that required the expertise of an electrician. Even though one of the projects was a bit trickier than expected, Chris expertly took care of everything in record time. To me, there are several factors that are as important as the actual skills a person brings to the table. Chris hit them all: He actually answers his phone (!), arrives on time, is very professional, friendly and tidy, and explains anything that may take a little more time than originally budgeted so you can make an informed decision about how best to move forward. In addition, Chris is licensed, bonded and insured and does not charge an arm and a leg. We couldn't be more pleased. Thanks, Chris! read more

Have used Kellas Electric several times for work on my son's house which was purchased with a bunch of electrical problems. This time around he ran a line to a new sump pump and modified the breaker box to support this. All went well with Mr. Kellas as usual and the job was done professionally, quickly, and the price was very reasonable. Believe me, Kellas Electrical is a keeper. read more

Chris Kellas was awesome! He came on time and install two ceiling junction boxes! He was a total pro and have a fair price for the work. He is now my go to electrician for any future work I have. I highly recommend him!!! read more

Chris was great. He came by to run a new circuit and to add an outlet in a room pulling from a circuit in a different room. His price was better than anyone else and he was clear about what would be required to get the work done, how long it would take, and what potential complications might arise. The work itself was clean and thorough, and he worked at a steady pace the whole time. He's clearly a professional with a lot of experience. I also found him to be straightforward, personable, and easy to talk to. I asked a lot of (largely basic) questions and he was happy to slow down a bit and explain things to me, and despite this he still got the work done in less time than originally estimated. He even took a moment to help me understand the studs above my fireplace where I'm planning to mount a TV, which I'd say is going above and beyond. I highly recommend Kellas Electric, give Chris a call. read more

Mr. Kellas provided the lowest estimate for installing an electric vehicle charger and two floor outlets. He explained the process of how he would install everything and mentioned any challenges that might arise, which I found very helpful as a way to ensure there were no surprises. We were able to schedule him at a time that was convenient for us. He completed the work efficiently, did high quality work, and the finished product cost less than the estimate. He charges by the hour (plus the cost of parts), and he finished the job quicker than he had estimated. Overall, he is honest and really great to work with. I highly recommend him and will be calling him for any future electrical work I want done, and referring him to our friends. read more

Chris is fast, prompt and did a great job with our home's pendant island light installation and with the bonding and wiring of our new gas stove. He fixed our incorrect wiring of our bathroom lights and also changed all our outlets (they were pink from the previous owner.) Additionally, he guarantees all his work. He charges hourly and does not charge a trip fee which was much appreciated. For our home he provided the best estimate, and he did all the work himself. If he does not have as many reviews as others at the time that you read this review, it may be because he moved here from California recently-- but as you'll see the ones he has are 5 star. Chris is an honest and good person but most importantly (for yelp purposes....) he is a great electrician. read more

Chris was very responsive and made the effort to come out same day. He got our issue resolved quickly, with kind and efficient service. Knowledgeable and honest electrical service! read more

Chris came to the house yesterday to install a new ceiling fan and an antique light fixture in the foyer. He had to find fittings for the antique light which he found in his treasure trove in his truck. He was pleasant, clean, efficient and answered all my electrical questions about my old house. Very reasonable price and excellent work. Would definitely recommend him! He will be my "go-to" electrical guy! Thanks, Chris. read more

Stop looking around, Chris is your guy! I spent quite a bit of time researching electricians and getting multiple quotes. I'm very picky about contractors and electrical and plumbing work are jobs I take very seriously. Chris was by far the most reasonable and had the best reviews of the bunch. I had a job to install new outlets in the ceiling, put up track lighting and install two recessed cans. Chris's estimate was less than half the other estimates ($1200 vs. up to $6000). He came in and knocked the job out by himself in less time than he estimated and I ended up paying ~$700. Others required two electricians on the job and Chris was able to complete this one by himself which greatly reduced costs. The only complaint I'd have is that the guy he referenced to patch and paint the holes he made was extremely slow and ended up costing as much as the electrical work. Chris was very professional, very knowledgeable and great to work with. He's the one I will be calling next time I need electrical work done. read more

Chris is a knowledgeable, skilled electrician and a really nice guy. We had trouble with a breaker that kept flipping off, seemingly for no reason. Chris quickly diagnosed the problem, explained what was happening in terms I could understand, and fixed it. We also complained about all of our lights flickering, which turned out to be a problem for PG&E, but Chris gave us some tips for dealing with them, which will surely make that exchange go more smoothly. I highly recommend Chris. We wouldn't call anyone else. read more
