Looking to get a few electrical projects done around the house, my husband researched various electricians, and came across Surge Electric. They were very communicative and came out to provide him with a quote right away. Pleased with the quote, we moved forward with having them complete the electrical work. All in all, they cleaned up some electrical wiring in our garage, installed can lights in our living room, and installed two ceiling fans in our guest bedrooms. From start to finish they were the utmost professionals. They arrived on time and cleaned up after themselves. They were efficient and again, their communication skills were superb. I cannot recommend Surge Electric enough for anyone with any electrical needs. read more

I took Surge's class once and passed my journeyman's exam on the first attempt. His method works. Especially with the new PDF format in ca. His method breaks down every part of the code book in a way that anyone would understand. I'll be returning next month to get ready for my C10 exam. read more

Yesterday the overhead light and the fan in our bathroom stopped working, but a GFI outlet in the bathroom still had power and the adjacent hallway light worked. The refrigerator and microwave outlets both stopped working. So did an electrical outlet across the room, yet other lights in the room still worked. What was going on? I checked the breaker box; nothing had tripped. I turned all breakers off and reset them. No change. I decided I needed to call an electrician. Onto Yelp. We all know customer reviews can be brutal, but Surge Electric reviews were very good! I called Surge Electric this morning and spoke with Sergio. Alex and Omar were out around 11:00AM. I showed them what was working and what wasn't. They had their meters out, checking every outlet. I showed them the breaker box. In about a minute Alex said, "I found it." He showed it to Omar. A burnt wire due to an old, loose wire connector. He fixed it and suddenly all the lights were back on! I'm more than impressed. I will call Surge Electric for any future electrical issues. They are fast, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, polite, and their fees are reasonable. Thanks to Sergio, Alex, and Omar. read more

Sergio did a great job helping me out! Sometimes you need an expert to show you a basic mistake you overlooked. Being able to do that tactfully and appropriately, while not taking advantage of your ignorance or wallet is a true asset. Surge Electric was quick, friendly, honest and fair. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future. read more

Had to replace 6 can style lights in our kitchen area. They were in and out very quickly and did a fantastic job. Cleaned the insulation mess as well when completed. read more

Sergio responded within a business day. He came by to assess my problem with my old, frayed wiring. He also listened to my concerns with the split circuit. He proposed two paths forward: repair only or repair with new lights. We went with the repair and new lights. A few days later, SURGE ELECTRIC employees came to start the repair and some planning for the light fixture project. Alex and Omar did a fantastic job finishing the repair and ensuring its safety up to code (to my knowledge). Alex returned a few business days later to complete the lights. Capped off the old broken box with broken wires. Installed new recessed LED lights with dimmers. I've always been taken care of by Surge Electric. Will seek out again for future projects. read more

Had a very user error moment and contacted Surge. They were very responsive and quick to come out to inspect my problem. Very knowledgeable and quick to solve my issue. Would not hesitate to work with them in the future. read more

So good to work with people who are about doing honest work and want your business. I received a responce for my quote the same day that I requested it on a whole house surge protector. Setting up the date was easy and they were available the following week. Alex and Oscar showed up on the date that was set and completed the job in 20 minutes. The big win was that the price was in line for this easy plug and go job, unlike the other electricians quotes I received that were in excess of $400.00 of Surge Electric. read more

Surge Electric saved our holiday! We bought a new oven and it popped the breaker. We needed a new circuit. Surge came when they said and the two technicians were courteous and knowledgeable. They ran the new wire through the attic and down in the kitchen wall neatly and without any damage. They pulled the oven out and put it back in. They ran it for a while to make sure that it worked. The boss stopped by during the work and it was great meeting him. Very happy that we can cook the meal without having to worry. Thank you Surge. read more

Sergio was very informative and gave me options before deciding anything. I appreciate his wealth of knowledge! Highly recommend again.

If I could give ten stars to Surge Electric, I would! From beginning to end, it was a great experience having them take on our electrical projects. Sergio was responsive and very easy to work with. After reviewing our list and meeting with us to go over specifics, he submitted a quote that was very fair. And when we accepted, he was able to fit us into his schedule right away. We really enjoyed having his crew on site. Alex and Omar were awesome! They were personable, communicative, and respectful of our house. They arrived on time, took care of our list quickly and efficiently, and cleaned up before they left. It's always a pleasure to watch professionals at work. We've been thrilled with the new lights and timers they installed, plus the other projects they completed. We're also very happy with the quality of their work. Now I just want to mention that although we had a list of items, the overall job really wasn't that big. I had contacted several companies over the past year. Some said that they only work on commercial jobs. Some were busy with larger residential jobs. Some didn't return my e-mail or telephone inquiries at all. I get it: They have to stay in business. And I get that our projects were considered "small potatoes." But Sergio never made us feel like "small potatoes." And you know what? Someday we might just have a larger project at our house, such as installing a new panel for an electric car or something similar. Guess who we're going to call for that? Thank you, Sergio, Alex, and Omar! read more

Sergio came over the day I messaged on yelp and help diagnose the problem, and scheduled workers first thing the next morning. The guys came and found the problem right away and were in and out in less than an hours. Rate was reasonable. read more

I went out to bid and received several quotes. Surge Electric had the best overall prices and Sergio gave me a lot of options and cost-saving suggestions. His workers Alex and Omar arrived on time, were able to solve problems in real time, and cleaned up after themselves. And they know about historic homes (built before 1940). Surge Electric is my new electrician. Thank you Sergio! read more

My wife and I could not be more pleased with how quick Sergio got back to us right in the middle of his work day. He quickly understood why there was a power outage in my wifes office and got the problem resolved. I highly recommend them, and will definitely reach out to them again. Much thanks! read more

Highly recommended. I've used him in the past to install a Tesla charger and wiring for a new hot tub. This time I had some power outlets that just stopped working. I can usually fix stuff myself so he not only fixed it fast but explained what he was doing and what to check next time. Highly recommend. read more

Sergio serviced our home and had to troubleshoot and fix a tricky issue with half of the electricity going out in our home. From start to finish, Sergio's communication and quality of services were professional and excellent. The price for services rendered was more than fair, especially considering he had to make multiple trips to our attic. We will be using this company's services again and highly recommend them. read more

Highly recommend Surge Electric. They were responsive right away and were able to make an appointment for me quickly. Quote was totally reasonable for the repair I believed I needed. Sergio was prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable. He diagnosed the issue within a few minutes and fixed the issue quickly. Will definitely contact them the next time I need any electrical help! read more

We found Surge Electric through SMUD's list of approved contractors when we were getting quotes for replacing our electrical panel and raising our weatherhead. We had an old ungrounded Zinsco panel in our 1940s East Sac home, and we were converting our power drop to a midspan service drop. We wanted someone that works regularly with SMUD, communicates well, and provides excellent customer service at a fair price. Surge Electric checked all these boxes! Sergio came out the next day to assess our project and give us a quote. He worked with SMUD to schedule a date that worked for all of us. He showed up on time and communicated clearly. He and his electrician Alex performed the work as promised, all with a smile. Very professional, extremely honest and kind. Highly recommend! read more

Great service was able to get an appointment the same day. During the trouble shooting he walked me through what he was looking for and why. Problem was solved after having to navigate different outlets and find the issue... thank you for making this a very quick and painless experience will definitely be calling you again for the upgrades we talked about. read more

I can't say enough good stuff about these guys. I've had plumbers, movers, and handymen here but none as professional, courteous, and helpful as the guys at Surge Electric. They arrive on time, work efficiently, are courteous and respectful. They're unfailingly polite with my endless questions and willingly explain what they're doing and how things work. This week Alex and Omar went above and beyond to help me figure out what several vaguely labeled circuit breakers controlled. Serge answers communications promptly, keeps you apprised of ETAs, and checks after the call to see how everything went. 10/10 read more

I found Surge Electric through Yelp and the reviews did not steer me wrong. Everyone at Surge Electric is responsive, professional, honest, and kind. What a great company to do business with! We needed help with some outside lighting and they were able to identify all of the issues and fix them all quickly at a reasonable price. They arrived when they said they would arrive and explained everything prior to starting. I would absolutely do business with them again. This is the company to use for electrical issues! read more

We had an issue with a breaker that tripped several times. Sergio came out to trouble shoot the problem and replaced the breaker. Service was fast and the cost was very reasonable! I will definitely call Surge Electric again for any electrical problems! read more

I asked Sergio to install a Tesla home charger in the garage of my last home. He come out, cut the access and ran the 48A wires to the main, and then installed the charger itself from the box. Great work, it looked like it had come with the house. The initial visit for the estimate was very friendly and thorough: he went through a lot of options with me for placement and what changes would be needed inside the garage. read more

Surge Electric - Here is the panel after installation, with the new heavy gauge wires that he ran into the wall. The charger mounts easily onto this bracket. - Electricians Near Me - Sacramento, California

Great work, nice crew, easy to work with. I have used at least 6 other electricians/companies here in Sac in recent years and none of them compare to Surge Electric. I was able to get a quote for some work to my house within two days of calling, and was able to have the work scheduled and completed within two weeks. The crew arrived on time, wore shoe protectors to prevent tracking dirt into the house, and they cleaned up before they left. They were able to do the work I requested without cutting into my walls or leaving large holes that I would have to fill later. The crew was very accommodating of my schedule and worked quietly and efficiently. 5 stars. Would recommend. read more

Responsive, good communication and very friendly. Great quality work done fast, and accommodated a last minute / urgent request for help!

Sergio came out so quickly, and fixed the issued right away. I will continue to use him for all my electrical needs.

I highly recommend Sergio and Surge Electric. Not only did he provide outstanding service, but he did so with kindness and integrity. Five stars for prompt and efficient professionalism. read more

I was at a loss of ideas on how to light up an add on to the house I just bought because the accessibility of electrical wiring was limited. The previous owners had a fan and I really disliked the set up. Finally, Sergio and his team got their creative hats on and proposed an idea that I just loved; to use LED lighting strips with accented covers along the ceiling beams! I'm extremely grateful for their creative and efficient work style and so happy with the results! read more

We hired Surge Electric to install overhead lights in our living room, hallway, and closets, none of which had proper overhead lighting. The whole process involved two visits, one brief one for a quote and a second longer one for installation, both of which were professional and COVID safe. Everyone wore masks the whole time they were in our home and they were VERY punctual, which was very much appreciated! They made very good recommendations as far as the number of canned lights needed per space and the new lighting makes our place look great! I feel like they raised our property value just with proper lighting. To top it off, we can now see the contents of our closets...what a concept! We'll definitely work with Surge Electric again for future electrical needs and recommend that you do too. read more

Needed some outlets grounded in my new home, as well as adding some outlets in my garage. Sergio was super responsive and came out to check all of the work and gave me a quote. He sent out a technician who was quick, knowledgeable, and efficient. I would use Surge Electric again and again, I am grateful to have found such a great company for my electric needs. read more

Quick response, accurate quote, and great service! What more could you ask for? Communication was through text and email and was quick and easy. Sergio came out to our house, discussed with us what we wanted done (adding some exterior and interior outlets added to our home), and gave us a quote within a couple days. We then scheduled a day for the work to be completed the his colleague came out on time and completed the work. The job was done professionally and efficiently and payment was even handled at a later, convenient time. We are thrilled with the work they did and will absolutely use them in the future! read more

Used Surge twice and will use them again when needed. First time we had a tripping circuit breaker. Alex came out and took care of the problem quickly. Second time we had themreplace my old under cabinet kitchen lights. Alex came out and did a great job. They were very responsive when one of the units was defective; reordered and replaced. Very happy with their work. read more

This review is long-overdue. But, I cannot recommend Sergio and Surge Electric more highly. They are honest, pleasant, professional, and Sergio went above and beyond to help me out when we were having a near-emergency. They upgraded our panel from 100 to 200 amp (much needed), and made the entire process as painless as possible. The care Sergio and his team put into their work and relationships with customers is amazing. Will always call them first with any electrical needs. read more

Surge Electric responded quickly to our request for a quote on putting in a 220 elecctric outlet for our new electric stove to replace our gas stove. We are waiting for quote. read more

I had a breaker fail in my service panel. I called Surge Electric on a referral on Monday morning and spoke to Sergio. His response? I'll see you in an hour. Our home was built in the '50s so I was concerned about getting a replacement. Sergio commented Home Depot would not have what we needed, but he had a source, and off he went. About an hour later, he returned, and 10 minutes later the new breaker was installed and our problem was solved. Sergio was a pleasure to meet and made it all seem so simply. He's our go-to-guy for electrical work. Thank-you, Sergio. read more

So my hubby and I were discussing this morning that we have a ton of needed electrical work done for some lighting upgrades we want. He called Sergio in the morning and he was here within hours to review the requested work. He sent us a great quote, we accepted and in no time Chris and Tim were here and ready to work. We needed can lighting, pendant lights and 3 ceiling fans installed. These guys got it all done in 5 hours. It was amazing. They were kind, professional and personable. They answered all our questions AND their work turned out GREAT. My hubby and I so excited about our new upgrades and how easy and fast it was. Thank you Chris, Tim and Sergio! read more

Seriously awesome electrical company! From start to finish they were great to work with. We got several quotes including one from a family member and Surge Electric was the best and had the earliest install date. We are a no shoes household and I was worried it would be an issue (most people have issues with wearing booties), but it was no problem. The electricians who came out put booties on no questions asked or complaints. Both electricians were super nice and great to work with. They were very careful when drilling and covered everything properly so things in my house wouldn't get damaged .. Their attention to detail was greatly appreciated..They re-did electrical in 3 of my bedrooms for remote fan light switch and installed two pendant lights.. they did in 4 hours which I thought was great timing. Thank you guys again! I highly recommend Surge Electric! read more

I had a bunch of outlets stop working after one blew out. They were able to come out the next day and got everything fixed right away. They also helped fix a light that has been flickering. Very nice and very good price! read more

When contacting our prior electrician I learned he no longer did residential work. In my search for a new electrician I contacted Surge Electric, and Sergio came out the next day to see the job area (mostly adding an outlet for a formerly hard-wired kitchen appliance) then provide a quote. We had a tight installation deadline on our end and I asked if he could do the work a few days later/in the same week? Ultimately he was able to do, and a few days later Alex came out and did a great job. Would definitely recommend Surge Electric! read more

I've had Surge do several jobs at my home. They're prompt, professional, and competent every time. Very satisfied with their work and will use them again in the future. read more
