Best Electrician Around! Jothi is very knowledgeable, honest and hardworking. His fees are very reasonable. I've had him do light installations, change out fire alarms and security cams. 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. There are very few tradesmen I have been impressed with; Jothi is awesome! About his only challenge is that he likes to travel so you are lucky if you can grab him while he's in the area! read more

Great service and very responsive. Jothi was able to figure out my problem quickly and was able to provide a solution on the spot. I called several different places and he was also one of the most reasonably priced companies. I will definitely reach out again if I have any more electrical needs. read more

I contacted redwood electric for installation of a Testla home charger and a additional outlet in my yard. I was very pleased with the outcome of the work. He was fast and professional. We changed the original plan midway and he gave me a discount off the original price. Also, he was on time I value punctuation. I would most definitely recommend him to family and friends. read more

Thank you, Jothi! Both of our bedroom fans stopped working in the middle of the latest heat wave, which meant my baby, husband and I were all struggling to sleep at night (one of the ceiling fans literally fell out of the ceiling!). I reached out to Jothi and he immediately understood the urgency. He offered to come same day, was clear about his pricing (and pricing is very reasonable!), and got both jobs done in an hour. I'm so pleased with the work on both ceiling fans - he went above and beyond for us and now we can all sleep tonight ;) Highly recommend! read more

We've used Jothi as our electrician for years! He always get the job done right and makes good suggestions. When we remodeled our house he was our go-to. We had him back today to add a few new upgrades. We highly recommend him and will continue to use him for all our electrical needs. read more

We have worked with Jothi for many years and have always found him to be responsive, reliable, highly professional, reasonable, and a wonderful person. He hs helped us with our 1930s era home with all of its quirks and needs. We cannot recommend him highly enough! read more

After searching for an electrician for a couple of weeks we finally found Jothi and we are so glad that we did. He stopped by to take a look at the projects that we wanted to have done and we were immediately impressed by him. He is pleasant and professional and we felt very confident in his ability to handle our projects. Due to a cancellation in his schedule he was able to come the following day to do the work. He replaced five light fixtures, one of which was a chandelier in an entry way with 17 foot ceilings. He worked quickly and efficiently and was very respectful of our home. He asked if he should take his shoes off before he entered the house, put down tarps wherever he was working to protect the floors and cleaned up when he was finished. All of this at a very reasonable price! We are so happy that we found Jothi and will call him whenever we need electrical work done. I would give him more than 5 stars if I could! read more

Redwood Electric - Electricians Near Me

Jothi just completed installation of 2 EV chargers for our house and guest house -- timely, efficient, courteous, fairly priced, in a word, Perfect! As with other jobs we've done with Redwood Electric, Jothi was crystal clear in his communication, assessing what's needed, offering alternatives, and advising on the most effective plans. In the past, he has done re-wiring of our 1960s house and installation of lighting (interior and exterior). A+ skills. Highly recommended. read more

Delighted to have found Jothi from an enthusiastic referral. We too will refer him! Came quickly to assess. Gave estimate and start date (only a couple days out!!!). Got all the fixtures. Got the work done quickly and well: Assessed electrical failure in part of the house, installed outdoor sensor lighting, repaired garage door openers (not even something he does), fixed switch and plug. We will definitely us Redwood Electric again! read more

Redwood Electric installed two new bathroom fans for us, including duct work and wiring the switches. Scheduling was easy, and Jothi performed the work flawlessly and professionally. He actually charged us less than the original quote since I already had some of the materials like the timer switches and the wall plates. We are very happy with the work and will likely use Redwood Electric's services again! read more

Jothi is great to work with. We've worked with him in the past and he just helped us with the electrical work on the remodel of our bathrooms. Highly recommend him. read more

Jothi recently completed some work for me and did a great job. He had never installed this particular piece of equipment before, but was very diligent about checking the installation manual to make sure he was following its directions. He was also very responsive to my communications and showed great professionalism on the job. I found his rates to be quite reasonable, and Jothi himself to be very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend. read more

Jothi installed a 220 circuit in our garage for our new EV. He ran the wire under the house to the garage and placed an outlet where we arranged. He is fast, cost conscious (found a slot in the existing circuit box for the breaker - no need to reassign or share circuits) and very reasonable. I would recommend him without reservation. Nice guy too. read more

Do these guys have a website that I could check out??? I'm trying to get a hold of the owner to ask a few questions. Thank YOu

Jothi does any and all of my electrical work and I recommend him to all of my friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Jothi does great work and he never leaves a mess behind. read more

Love these guys. Jothi the owner, is amazing, he is kind, respectful and honest. He is calm, nothing phases him, not old wiring, not nervous people (me) and he has a quiet zen about him. His team is respectful and they get the job done. I have an older home that has add-on's and no matter what appeared or at whchanges had to be made he just said "ok" and did the work. If you need a quality, dependable and kind electrician, this is your team. He was the fifth one I called and the only one that could explain to me what needed to happen in a way that I understood and took the time to answer my questions calmly. Call them, you won't be sorry. read more

I hired Jothi several months back to add all new LED lighting to my garage. He always showed up on time. Work quality was excellent and when there was any question about placement he was very careful to make sure he got things just how I wanted them. Top notch! Just recently the fan in our guest bathroom stopped working after having some A/C work done in the attic by a contractor. The contractor was unable to figure out why it stopped working. I had guests coming in a few days and needed it fixed ASAP. Gave Jothi a call and he happened to be in the area and squeezed me in at the end of the day. He found a loose wire and the problem was fixed in 20 mins! Great customer service! Will definitely use Redwood Electric for any future electrical needs! read more

Highly recommend Jothi & James!! They installed 2 ceiling fans for me today, including running wiring for both rooms. Showed up on time, extremely nice and professional, and got the job done in a matter of a few hours. He also fixed, at no charge, something in a ceiling fan my husband installed;-) Very impressed and will 100% be using them again. read more

Found Johti on Craigslist and after reading the reviews on Yelp. Jonti came out and he was very professional and you can tell he knew his stuff. We wanted a ceiling fan installed in the master bedroom that had vaulted ceilings. He took the extra step to go into the attic and advised me that could install fan without tearing a lot of holes in the ceiling. He was willing to work with you to get your problems solved. He also replaced a bad part on the hall ceiling fan that was located in an awkward area 2 stories high and completed the job successfully! I found him pleasant, knowledgeable, calm and professional and will call him again for any future work. His prices are fair and much less than other bids we received. I am a happy customer and we would recommend him highly. read more

We contacted Redwood Electric based on reviews from yelp. Our electrical outlet for our dryer blew and we need to get it fixed. My husband was going to do the work himself, but we didn't want to risk an electrical fix gone wrong since our house is old and he didn't know how bad the conduit was damaged. My husband called Jothi and he asked a lot of questions as he troubleshooted the issue. He came the next day, a Saturday, had all the parts he needed to do the job with him and talked to my husband about the possible causes as he worked. My husband who it technically and mechanically skilled felt very comfortable with the work Jothi did. We will definitely use him again in the future for our next electrical issue. His price was fair too. I will recommend him to my neighbors and friends. read more

When I think of Jothi and James from Redwood Electric, I honestly get teary-eyed. In the middle of a train wreck of a kitchen renovation (due to our handyman/contractor, not Redwood), Jothi was the ONLY good decision we made for a while. He was incredibly fair in his bid and returned my calls right away. When it came time to actually do the work, Jothi was great about setting up times, showing up ON TIME, and busting his bum off to get the work done. James--his assistant--is clearly just as knowledgable and worked so, so hard. When each part of our first inspection failed EXCEPT the electrical, I about kissed Jothi and James' feet. And from there, they have continued to handle every issue that came our way, worked well with the variety of people we had on board to fix all the other issues our renovation faced, and did so SO calmly and professionally. Their work was impeccable, they were 100% honest, and seriously caring towards me and my kids. Two quick stories to solidify Redwood Electric's greatness: all the original gas plumbing we had done had to be replaced because it wasn't done correctly. Our (new) contractor told us that it was a VERY good thing we had hired such a good electrician because if there had been any sparks in our home then it would have exploded. Seriously. I was so relieved to know that our electrician had our back and everything was done right and safely. Second story: at one point during the nightmare, we came home to no heat or hot water, without forewarning from our first contractor/handyman. When Jothi heard about that the next day, after a whole day's work he insisted on sticking around to make sure our heat was indeed working so we didn't have to bundle our children up in sleeping bags and blankets like we had the night before. It wasn't even CLOSE to his fault that that situation had happened; but he cared about our well-being and showed us the human decency we didn't get from others to ensure we were OK. We still have to finish our renovation so the job isn't complete quite yet (it's up to my husband and I now); but I can say with complete ease that I KNOW Redwood Electric was the best decision we made and I will use them each and every time anything else arises. read more

Jothi recently completed a new recessed lighting installation and lighting fixture change in my condo. The lights look great and his pricing was very reasonable. I would recommend Jothi for any similar lighting upgrades. read more

Redwood Electric - Electricians Near Me

See all

The electric job was professional, well-priced, and flexible for my needs of a local electrician. The company was willing to come down to Fremont to ground some wires, split our light and fan wiring, and install some GFIs. The only con was taking the whole day to do the electrical job, but that was mainly due to the quirks in the house, but regardless did not charge extra on the time spent! Overall I certainly would recommend his work as a Bay Area electrician as everything is working great as we wanted. read more

Jothi is the MAN! My wife and I recently completed a major kitchen remodel and our contractor worked with Jothi as an Electrician once before and said he would be a good option for us to interview. Jothi was very knowledgable and approachable during our initial walk through, was easy to talk to and communicate on a final scope/budget and was amendable to our changes in the scope throughout the process. He was honest in walking through with us the pros and cons of different lighting elements without trying to upsell us on the more expensive options. In the end, he not only did lighting for our kitchen, but also updated electrical in our hallways. We live in a 1926 home in San Francisco, so it required a lot of finesse to work with old knob and tube as well as updated electrical elements. Jothi was an absolute pleasure to work with and is our go to electrician going forward. Thank you Jothi! read more

Jothi and his assistant went above and beyond!!! And they were by far the most reasonably priced of other 5 star electricians. Having them back in a few weeks to do more work!!! A+++++++ highly recommend !!! read more

First off, Jothi is 'Top Notch'. If you want a true professional that gets the job done right the first time, you will achieve that goal with Jothi. I used Jothi recently having moved into a new house in November. I needed an electrician and I used Jothi for a very big project about 17 years ago. I totally remembered him and still had his first business card. How fortunate I was that he was available. He put in ceiling lights in four rooms that had none. He switched out all my old outdated cover plates for me; put in undercabinet lights in my kitchen and converted existing bulbs to LED. I also had him back last week to install an outlet in the wall above my fireplace for my new TV. It wasn't easy (fireplace, etc) and his work was perfect! I can't see any more cords. And to boot, Jothi is one of the nicest people I've ever worked with. And he cleans up any messes made. If I could give him 10 stars, I would! Thanks Jothi. You're the best!! read more

I attempted to hang a new chandelier yesterday, which I would like to point out I have done several times before with no problems. However, yesterday I only succeeded in shorting out the electricity to half the house. I called an electrician we have used before, but he couldn't be reached and didn't call me back. So today I went on Yelp and found Johti at Redwood Electric. He answered his phone right away and was at my house within hours. He found and fixed the problem quickly. (Note: if you're trying to hang a chandelier and find yourself asking, "hmm, what are all these extra wires?" then you need to call a professional.) He also noticed that the dimmer switch had blown in the whole debacle and offered to run out and get a new one. He came back promptly, installed the new switch and the chandelier, and the whole mess was over with in less than an hour and a half. He also made me feel better about my attempt by telling me that that particular type of wiring was more difficult than usual, and my ego felt slightly less bruised when he left. Five stars for Johti. He'll be my go-to guy from now on. read more

If you could create an electrician to come to your home, that person would probably fit the description of Jothi. Intelligent, honest, kind, knowledgeable, polite and fair. And creative. Jothi is a true craftsman who takes pride in his work and in doing what's best for you. He masterminded how to create an outlet for a microwave that I had tucked inside a kitchen cabinet. He figured out how to run my garbage disposal and new dishwasher from the same junction box. And he also told me that electrical work I thought needed to be done in my laundry room was not necessary. He was recommended to us by the Fighting Amish, a forensic electrical company that focuses on older homes in San Francisco. We are grateful. read more

Outstanding service! Jothi and James installed an additional outlet in my outside patio along with some additional light fixtures. I was anxious about having the exterior house wall cut into since it's a newly built home but Jothi/James were true professionals. They also hung our patio bistro lights in the back yard area and came up with a qreat solution to hang them! Both of very personable and friendly and Jothi always responded quickly when trying to confirm appointments, etc.. Rates were very responsible! I have comfort knowing I have someone going forward for all my electrical needs. Thanks again Jothi/James! read more

We needed a EV station installed for our recently leased Chevy Bolt. I called around, leaving messages, and Jothi Param the owner of Redwood Electric, called me right back and met with me later in the day to go over the project. It seemed pretty complicated to me, installing a dedicated 220 line around 100 feet weaving up and down through what I thought were inaccessible areas from our main breaker to our charging station. We planned for the work to be done a few days later . Jothi and his assistant arrived as scheduled and did a fantastic job. We couldn't be more pleased. He was a good communicator, honest and I thought to be pretty reasonable. If any electrical projects arise in the future I will know who to call. read more

Jothi has done three separate jobs at my house and all have been excellent work. He's installed a new ceiling fan, three non-existent bedroom lights and an outlet behind our living room TV that required pretty extensive work. Each job was very well-priced and expertly done. As others have mentioned, he cleans up before leaving - I'm a huge proponent of "the job isn't complete until the site is clean". I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Johti quoted me a fair price, communicated well and did a great job. we had him install a ceiling fan, and he even vacuumed up the dust from the job before he left. i will use him in the future anytime i need an electrician. read more

We've hired a few electricians over the years, but I won't use anyone other than Redwood in the future. After some mixed results with other electricians, I called Jothi to install a light and fix a junction box that had mysteriously died. Jothi arrived on time, quickly addressed both issues, and even cleaned up a few issues that other electricians had left behind. I was truly impressed with how quickly and professionally he handled the projects. Cleaning up the other electrician's mess was just icing on the cake. He's certainly earned my business in the future. read more

Jothi is as good as it gets...honest, professional, and very reasonably priced. I can't recommend him and his company enough. He is the best! read more

I am revising my lower review because after some time, Redwood Electric came out and fixed a simple problem with one of the outlets not working that they installed in my garage. Although it took a good while to coordinate with them for the fix, Jothi came out and fixed all the issues with a smile, and I am all set to go. Reading the other reviews on this site, it seems like my experience was an not usual and that the problem is now fixed, I am upping my review. read more

Jothi is a very responsible and thoughtful man. Not only that he listened carefully about what I needed the electricity work in my house to be done, but also that he considered the site situation and offered me useful suggestions. Being a very picky and handy person myself, I was totally satisfied with Jothi's work. It just felt good to work with someone also be a perfectionist. Highly recommend to anyone who wants quality work! read more

I had recessed lighting, dimmer switches, light fixtures, outdoor flood lights and porch lighting work done about 2 years ago. The quality of work was excellent and done in a timely fashion. I am definitely going to use Jothi and his crew again. read more

Jothi was great! He is very professional, did the work quickly and even stayed to do another small job that I had put off for years and hadn't thought to ask about until he was finished with the first job. Rates were reasonable too. I highly recommend! read more

Johti helped us troubleshoot electrical problems, which includes flickering lights, intermittent electrical failure in a part of the house. Johti was very good with keeping appointments, reasonably on time and great at letting me know when he was held up by another job and would be coming at a later hour. Johti is very thorough in his troubleshoot process and he carefully listened to all the problems that we have observed with our electrical circuit. At the end, Johti fixed our problem by changing out 2 circuit breaker switches. While he was here, he also rewired our bathroom gfci outlet so when it trips, it would not trip the hallway and bathroom vanity lights. It has been almost a week and everything is working fine. Johti is very fair priced. He is an honest person and my husband and I really appreciate his sensible approach to his work. I would definitely use Redwood Electric for my future electrical/wiring projects, and would be happy to recommend Johti to my friends. read more

We called Johti to run a new electrical line to set up a hot tub. Clean, professional, reasonably priced. He definitely takes his time to make sure the job is done correctly. 5 stars on the quality of work, the only knock was having to reschedule one time because another one of his jobs ran long. I will definitely call him again in the future. read more
