Had to go through PGE's new requirements and their $5000 charge to get that work done. Dan from Thern's helped us get through this hurdle. Our panel was just replaced and can't say enough great things about the service we received. Dan and his staff were super -- when they said they would be here they were; all were friendly and polite; worked very hard; got the city inspection done; and inspected everything inside before they left. Big thank you to Dan and his staff. Great job. You definitely have our recommendation.

Hi , My husband and I just had a new Breaker Panel installed…read moretoday by Jeff Wooll and his team, Mike and Louis. They did an Amazing job in our new condo in ROSSMOOR,Walnut Creek, CA. They were not only Extremely Competent but Interpersonally Warm as well. Jeff even patched the area where he removed the old panel inside the closet and the area outside the closet where he put the new panel in! WHAT A TERRIFIC GUY! My husband and I therefore Highly Recommend Jeff and his team! Thanks Jeff , Mike and Louis. Jeff even told us to not pay him in full until he comes back with the Inspector and sands and touches up the patches. His # is: 925-395-3146 Thanks Jeff!! Arline and Ron C.

While they were prompt and available (next day), the tech who arrived was clueless in 3-way switch wiring. Not only did I have to pay a trip charge for nothing to be done, they had the nerve to try and give me an estimate of over $500 to diagnose a GFI plug that was not working along with $135 per 3-way switch. Such a waste of time and I would not recommend AT ALL.

Last week, my technician, Ray Comacho impressed me. He showed up on time. Very professional and courteous. He took the time to wear the "booties" while in my home (not all do). He was very thorough. Spot checked my entire home. He answered all my questions, tightened connections on the fuse boxes and even opened up light switches and outlets in my home. Finally, he even changed the batteries in my smoke alarms. In my 10 years of receiving service from Mister Sparky, NOBODY has done as good as job as Ray had. Job well done!

I described the problem and sent a short video illustrating the flickering. Chase thought it was most probably a connection issue and quoted a minimal and very reasonable price for the repair. (Other electricians who responded to the project request provided estimates ranging from twice that of Local Electrical to TEN TIMES as much.) Chase was able to come today along with his partner R., and fixed the connection issue in just a few minutes. Chase and R. were friendly and respectful, and very professional. I recommend Local Electrical highly.

One of the bathroom lights in my investment property stopped working. Apparently, I had this…read moreproblem years ago, which inspired my first ever 5 star Yelp review. This is a fact I wished hadn't slipped my mind, but I'll get back to this story in a bit. Back to Cortez- Cortez Electric was my first call and he was available the same day, earning him two stars because I do appreciate promptness. He had the light working and was out of the door within a couple of minutes. 2-3 minutes max. I was surprised by the call stating he was done, because I was just notified that he made it. The end cost to "reset the outlet" was $75 per minute!!!After paying the requested $150 via Venmo, I shared my opinion with him, writing, "for two minutes of work, you could have charged less as you have the discretion to do so". This interaction made me recall the exact same situation years ago with BPS Electric, who unfortunately no longer service residential clients. Unlike Cortez Electric, BPS Electric opted to not to charge anything after being in and out in a few minutes. I have attached my past BPS review. I'm not saying Cortez Electric does not have a right to charge whatever he wants. I'm not requesting "charity" as he suggested. I paid immediately because I have no problem paying for a service. What I am saying is that $150 is an excessive charge to reset an outlet which is effortless. At best you could have allowed utilization of the fullime you insisted to be paid for, more could have been done. This review is important because I know for a fact that there are honest business out there that would have taken a different more customer-centered approach. U
