We had an emergency with our electrical system one day. I contacted a few electricians including…read moreGreenelectric (Andres). He was the only one that was a) available and b) didn't charge a diagnostic fee. The problem was actually fixed by PG&E before Andres arrived, but the fix was just temporary. When he came to check things out, he was very friendly and easy to chat with. He was also helpful and not condescending at all. To be frank, those traits have not been common in our interaction with other electricians. Andres ended up upgrading our electrical panel and installing an EV charger in our detached garage. His work was done quite efficiently and all seems to be working well. He also handled the permits with the city of Oakland and P'G&E. Definitely recommend Greenelectric!

Fourth job with Momentum. I will continue using them for electrical work going forward. They are…read moreprecise and thorough!

I have a small-medium sized project to add primarily low voltage wiring to the bedrooms in our…read morehouse (ethernet/fiber/speaker wire/blind power/control) and swap out 135 light fixtures with new ones. I spent a few months working with Matthew and Thomas in the end and I had a really poor experience that I'd like to share here so I can save folks like me time in the future. I couldn't help but feel the job was outside of their scope and abilities so I asked a few times but was assured it was within their capabilities. In the end, I received the most unreasonable quote I've received in my life for any type of work/purchase. I spent some time trying to understand the quote, but the pricing at Momentum is non transparent and the owner/project managers are unable to communicate with their customers. The bid came in at: $353,869. I've attached photos of it in the review for transparency. I've had it quoted by others and the actual job cost is expected to be in the 125k range. I spent a few weeks specifically on the quote to replace the 135 light fixtures. A seperate drywaller was going to remove all of the ceilings in the house and replace them after the work was done. The fixtures are being replaced one for one and the wiring is all in place already. The quote for 135 fixtures from momentum was $86,581.41 or $641 per fixture. Their quoted rate is $140 an hour which works out to 5 hours per fixture. I've since had the same work quoted by others and all have quoted 1 hour per fixture or $140. On this particular item, their quote is 4.5x the industry normal. I spent time on the phone with Tom, the owner, and he expliained that he has a policy with the folks doing his quotes that if he ever loses money, he'll fire them because in the past he has had some jobs where he lost money. This was the explanation he gave me for the quote, on the call which was an escallation to discuss the quote, it was clear he hadn't even looked at it. Matthews explanation was given the finishes in my house, this is how much it would cost. I reminded him the ceiling would be removed with full access to all of the fixtures and the finishing would be done by someone else. I never got a response so I took my business elsewhere. When you look at the quote, make note of this comment: "- Bid assumes all work areas are open and accessible; done by others. " - Access to door/window/frames/casings/decking done by others. All of the challenging work was to be done by others. Also note this at the end of the quote: "Trash removal, dumpster, and debris container fees." For $353,000, they don't clean up after themselves. I don't understand all of the positive reivews of this company which were ultimately what lead me to reach out to them to consider the job.

I wish he had been around when I bought this house--I would have hired him to rewire the whole place instead of the contractor who subcontracted out the work.

He is super familiar with…read moreour old Munchkin boiler, that he kept a graveyard of them as a source of parts for the now-discontinued product. He was very responsive to our no-heat, no-hot-water situation and made room in his schedule to get it fixed right away. He knew why the boiler had failed and what was needed to prevent it from failing again. He charged less for the whole job than another contractor was going to charge just for the parts. As well we discussed heat pumps, and he was fully aware of what would need to be changed with our system to use a heat pump instead of a gas boiler. The guy knows his stuff, is responsible, and is a straight shooter. He saved us from out boiler outage quickly, and we have found our guy to install a heat pump. I could not recommend him more.

Valery installed a new 240 circuit for a backyard spa. We contacted three companies; one never got…read moreback to us with a bid, and we chose Advanced over the other because of the excellent communication. He has an office manager and we could communicate via text to Valery, phone to the office or email. Timing was a bit complex because another contractor was installing paving where the spa was to go. And we had a third crew digging the trenching for the electrical line in the evening after the yard was dug up and before pavers were laid. Valery and his office manager coordinated and made themselves available when we needed them. He also stopped by after hours to make sure the digging guys knew exactly where to dig. I think, all told, Valery must have come over five times to check on the project. He also made a trip to the spa store to make sure he understood how to hook up our particular spa. I can't imagine that any other electrician would spend so much time and attention on our job outside of his actual electrical work. Despite the extra trips, he held firm on his original price. And he's such a nice guy!
