Jason and his team addressed several outstanding electrical issues that had not been properly resolved by a previous electrician, including wiring problems that caused lights in different rooms to turn on from light switches that did not correspond. They resolved most of the issues efficiently and demonstrated professionalism, courtesy, and strong technical expertise throughout the work. read more

Jason and Robert did a great job troubleshooting and repairing an electrical problem in my old house. They explained what they were doing and we discussed options before they made the repair. Terrific service and very fair price. I will call them first for any future projects! read more

$575 to replace a GFCI outlet that went out. Kept going and found new things to fix once they got here that ran up the bill from 15-30 minutes to 90 minutes (which was billed at 2 hours @ $250 per hour). Did not disclose the pricing upfront and instead sent an invoice with an immediate due date, 2 weeks later. read more

Hired Oak Electric to convert kitchen fluorescent lights to LED. They were polite, professional, efficient, and the new lights look great.

Jason came out to our house for an assessment of an electrical repair project. He was on time, knowledgeable, and gave us a competitive quote. Additionally, Jason pointed out work a previous electrician had done that didn't meet PG&E inspection standards. He knows this stuff inside and out! He impressively quoted the exact PG&E greenbook standard for service, buried on Page 144. He went above and beyond to mention this, and I appreciate it. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and honest electrician, Jason is the real deal. read more

Had a new Tesla EV charger installed. Perfect work, new circuit, neat and careful. They are a pleasure to work with. And we ended up with a better solution that was easier than what I thought we needed. We can now charge both our EVs easily at night. Highly recommend. read more

Worked patiently with me to diagnose a complex wiring issue and come up with a solution. Need a new panel or a car charger? You can probably find cheaper but electrical is important. Jason is a professional and knows his stuff. Look no further. read more

Jason is the best! His team is professional and price is standard. We got two jobs done with Oak Electric, no issue for years, highly recommended! read more

$550 for installing light bulb in the garage I called Oak Electric to help with a light that doesn't work in the garage and flickering lights in the bedrooms. Jason was very helpful to setup an appointment the following week. The issue is that he didn't tell me his hourly rate is $250. Unfortunately I wasn't home when he arrived and my wife and other family members watched them work. They took down the recessed lights but the flickering didn't stop, they still charged me for the labor (which is fine IF we had agreed on a price!) In the end, he charged me $550 for installing the lights in the garage. When I texted him to ask about this, he gave me a 40 mins call explaining why this is my problem. I think any mechanic or technician would charge a diagnostic fee and call the owner before proceeding with an expensive repair (I would have told him no), but according to Jason, that's my problem. So this is my experience, just sharing so that other people are aware of the hourly rate, they require you the customer to ask for the rate first. Then won't tell you. read more

Jason is a rock star. I hesitate to say too many good things or he may not be available for us next time. [just bein' honest!] I called 4 electricians who were referrals from my handyman, and none of them got back with me. ( I really hate when that happens, even if you are busy. Just let your potential clients know this! ) But Jason worked us in, no matter how busy he is. He has helped us several times now. He is straight shooter and I found him here on Yelp. Very happy with this man and his workmanship. read more

Jason did a great job installing our electric vehicle charger. He was very thorough and conscientious, arrived on time for his appointments, and brought a courteous and capable crew. His price for installing the charger was competitive. I have used him for other projects as well. His service charge and hourly rate are $250. read more

Jason came to my home in Menlo Park on Wednesday to check out a problem with my outside electric panel. He discussed with me the possibilities for upgrading my panel, and we picked an approach that we could both agree on. He came back the next day, as promised, with everything he needed to complete the upgrade then and there. He and his assistant finished the job in a little over 3 hours, hardly more than 24 hours since he had first set foot on my property! I was really impressed with Jason's quick service, and his professionalism. He went the extra mile to take care of some details, like making new highly-visible labels for my circuit breakers, and adding some sealant to the high-amperage connectors to ensure they won't be as susceptible to moisture damage in the future. He is definitely the guy I will call first for future electrical work. read more

Jason provided amazing service and educated me on proper electric code. He and his team were very professional and quick. I'd recommend Jason and his team to anyone. read more

I hired Jason to install a line of recessed lights along a hallway. It didn't turn out well. The lights were crooked and the final bill was more than I expecting. We can debate whether the bill was fair, but there is no debate about the lights. A laser alignment tool showed that some of the lights were up to an inch out of line with the others. In the end, I had to pay another electrician to redo the light placement and a drywall contractor to repair the unnecessary holes in the ceiling. This was a rudimentary mistake that you would not expect from a professional. read more

Jason and Issac were great. We needed a panel upgrade and some minor repairs. From initial contact and a same day estimate to the work being done was amazing. Professional, respectful and responsive. We can say enough about the service and will definitely use them again if services are needed. If you need work done, no matter the size or scope, give Jason and Oak a call. read more

I shopped five different electricians and I am so happy I hired Jason and his team. In one hour they happily took down three chandeliers and replaced with two vintage ones. They are cheerful, have a can do attitude, and fast working. Thank you Jason read more

Jason came by and helped us out in a pinch, by bribing our main panel up to code so we could reconnect power. super honest and professional. Gave a fair estimate. read more

I tried 5 different electrical company's before finally going with Oak Electric. Kolie and Christine are hands down the best people and company for all your electrical needs. They were very professional, on time, everytime. They ensured our satisfaction before, during, and after the job was completed. They went above and beyond at every phase of the job. I cant say enough good things about this company. We couldn't be happier with the skills and workmanship that they provide. We will definitely be using them in the future. read more

Great service! If you are looking for electrician to install your Tesla Wall Connector here is your man Ja owner of Oak Electric. Jason on very short notice (2 days) squeezed our job in his busy schedule. He was very easy to reach, no needs for leaving message just immediate direct contact. He with his helper come today 1/7/20 at 7AM and within 1 1/2 hr installed Tesla Wall Connector. I was prepared for this installation thinking that this will be difficult job and getting nice clean and not intrusive installation. I sent him pictures with explanation via text messages what I would like to have done. I bought stud finder just in case and have other tools. He did not need all this stuff. He has everything in his van, all tools and all parts. Jason with his helper knows exactly how this could be done. This required to run wire from an electrical box that was unfortunately installed not in proper place when we originally built the house. Jason easily find out how to run behind the wall wire from electrical box to the place where Tesla Wall Connector was eventually situated. No condescending talks like you often hear from so called "experts" with years of experience. He run the #6 wire behind the wall and also replaced 50 amps circuits breaker to 60 amps so we could charge our Tesla with 48 amps. He did very clean job and after 1 1/2 hr Tesla had a new feed. Jason is a great communicator, very easy to work with, very professional and doing quality work. I highly recommend him. read more

We started out spec-ing a 240W electrical outlet in the garage for a new car. Then the solar guys told us we'd need our main electrical panel moved around a corner and upgraded before they could install. So we plopped a big job on top of a small one. Jason took care of everything (permit, installation, inspections) in a very friendly and personable manner. The timing was a bit loose-y-goose-y but we were the ones who'd trebled the size of the job, so I really can't complain. It was all done with a minimum of downtime for us. The city inspector complimented us on how well the job had been done and asked how we'd found Jason since good electricians are scarce these days. (Our next-door neighbors had recommended Oak Electric, then I'd verified here at Yelp). We were charged exactly what he estimated and the whole system has been working beautifully for a month now. read more

Amazing service! Originally hired Oak Electric to sort out the power situation at our warehouse to handle a second 40 foot refrigerated shipping container. The prep work was done a few days prior to the container's arrival before Oak returned the day of delivery to power the reefer unit up. After seeing how they handled the power situation at the warehouse, we then hired them to help power up a commercial grade sauna unit at our house. The Oak Electric team was awesome to work with. Easy to schedule with. Great at communicating throughout the entire process. Very professional. High quality work. I definitely recommend Oak Electric and will be sure to hire them again for any future electrician needs. read more

I needed work done at my business and the existing electric was a real mess. Jason came in and cleaned everything up, updated all of my lighting and made the space functional for my business. He and his team were always prompt, neat and courteous and their work was top notch. I would highly recommend Oak Electric to others! read more

Jason (owner of Oak Electric) came and helped us with a minor project for our master bathroom. We were adding some new lighting to our bathroom and had no clue what to do, so we called Jason. He newly wired two outlets, a new switch, and a sconce, which we will install soon! Jason is an amazing person, does fantastic work, and was kind enough to let me document the process too for my blog. (Check it out: http://insidetheframedesign.blogspot.com/2012/10/master-bathroom-project-wiring-new-lighting.html) I would highly recommend Jason and Oak Electric for any of your electrical needs. read more

After other electricians had been no-shows or no-callbacks, Jason was a breath of fresh air. Our home's old Zinsco fuse box had to be replaced. After others has said they couldn't do it, Jason not only accepted the job, he came up with a genius solution by which we didn't have to change anything with the electric company AND he moved the box from outside our front door to inside our garage, which is far better. We also had him replace a junction box and hang a heavy pendant light in our stairwell. He was professional, always called back, was friendly and on time. I won't call anybody else when we need another electrical job done. read more

Look no further, Jason is your guy! He was so prompt, professional and kind. I called hoping for a super tight turnaround on both a quote and an installation. He did both within 48 hours including 4 rooms that didn't previously have overhead lighting. He even Face Timed with me while I was at work to be sure I was happy with the placement. I neglected to buy the light bulbs (assumed they came in the chandelier box) and he went out of his way to buy them himself and didn't even charge us. He was super quick to respond on text too. Not to mention he was significantly cheaper than two other electricians I called in the Palo Alto area. Can't recommend enough! Thank you Jason!!! read more

Easy to coordinate with via Yelp & text message. Got the work done quickly. Looks good.

I have used Jason exclusively for my electrical work for years now and had a recent need. He met me at the location promptly quite early in the morning, and not only expertly did the work required, but took additional time to do new work that came up that was unanticipated! Jason is professional, thorough, provides awesome value and is a joy to work with. Look no further for your electrical needs!!! read more

We're very happy working with Jason and his team at Oak Electric. The house we bought early this year dates from the early 90s and had lots of needs. Jason has made our lives better by solving problems. We now have great lighting in the home office, daughter's bedroom and gym. He is a "can-do" guy who comes up with ideas. We had very different experiences with two local electricians who, for some reason, get good reviews. The first charged a ton just to show up, talked a mile a minute, and listened to us not at all. The other was very grumpy and everything was "can't do that." In contrast, a member of Jason's team came over to fix a minor problem with one of the installations and was gracious enough to also take care of a couple of extra things that they had not even worked on. read more

Called Jason a few weeks ago and he replied immediately. we agreed upon a time for him to come over and address some light switch and bulb issues. He was on time, did the job very quickly and professionally and charged me a very reasonable rate. He was great with my dog too which is a big plus :-) . I will call Oak Electric again as Jason is a super nice guy and did a great job for me. read more

Jason seems like a very nice guy. However, BEWARE his minimum charge is $150. So, if he offers to come take a look at something understand that the charge is $150. No matter what, that is his minimum charge. Unfortunately, He doesn't tell you that in advance so it is quite shocking when he is in your house for 10 minutes and then charges $150. Be warned that you need to ask upfront what the charge is, because he doesn't tell you. read more

Jason is awesome! I was having a problem with a dimmer switch not working with some new CFL lights. He had a small opening in his day and literally came to my home in an hour after calling him since he was working local. He quickly fixed the problem and troubleshooted a closet light problem that I was having as well. He is very friendly and I highly recommend him. I will use him again for sure. read more

I bought a new washer. After used it for only a few days, I cannot turn it on. My husband checked breaker panel and turn it on and off couple of times but the outlet still does not have electric. I think it is beyond our safety zone to fix it by ourselves, so I searched my nextdoor and found couple of recommendations for Jason. I am so glad we called him. He found the neutral line for washer outlet was lose, seems previous electrician did not tight it up and it can be pull off at the site. That neutral line has burned and it could cause fire if not been fixed! Jason told me that normally he will do diagnostic before he drove to client home to save their money if it may just need to reset breaker panel. I will definitely call him again if I need an electrician. read more

Jason is a fast, efficient and most of all, super cool electrician. He fixed a light fixture in 15 or so minutes while my boss worked right below him. He even gave us a reasonable price in comparison to another vendor. I definitely recommend Oak Electric! read more

I spoke with four electricians before choosing to go with Jason at Oak Electric. We hired Jason to tear out our old electric main panel and install a new upgraded panel to service our house. We went with Jason for the following reasons: - honest and transparent with his costs in the bid - responsive in both providing an initial estimate and being flexible with his timing to complete the project - he didn't cut any corners and did a quality job I would definitely hire him again for any electrical project, big or small. read more

Jason Sanchez, owner of Oak Electric, spent 2 days at our house working on various electrical issues, including determining a serious issue with our phone line (as in no line to the pole!), installing new phone jacks, outlets, outdoor flood lights and more!
