Ken has helped me with a slew of electrical projects lately:…read more 1. Installed a 200A panel 2. Laid underground conduit to our detached office / shed 3. Added a subpanel to the shed 4. Added light fixtures and outlets to the shed 5. Added a new dryer circuit and swapped out some interior lights in our house. All of the work has been excellent. Ken is thorough and detail oriented; he does not cut corners. He handled all the permits and has been very easy to work with. Before we started any projects or signed any contracts, Ken and I had a weeks-long conversation where he gave me advice about what was feasible and what was not, and helped me understand what would be required to do the work right. I highly recommend you reach out to Ken if you need electrical work done.

I called their business number listed here 2 days ago since they had very high ratings in Yelp…read more Spoke with Ken, the owner. Told him we have 2 outlets that wasn't working. He went through a couple of quick fixes on the phone which could save us some money. I told him we've done that already and we need an electrician to diagnose and fix the problem. He said it'll cost $335 to show up and if he is here over 2hrs, it will be an extra $169/hr. I said okay. Since he is highly rated, I didn't bother calling other electricians for more quotes. I normally get at least 3 then compare. Then he said his appts are 3wks away but has a cancellation for Saturday (today) at 11am. So I said sure and gave him our address and told him to call us when he's here cuz we have to buzz him in the security gate. He said our address is 5mins from his house so no problem. Long story short. He never showed up, no call -nothing! Wasted our time waiting. It is our rental property so I had to drive in before the appt, waited an hour after the appt then left. He may not have wanted to take the job cuz I got the sense that he wasn't enthused and quoted us his price for showing up. Or... he may have forgotten about the appt. Either way, he is the owner and there is no excuse for poor business practice. And for wasting my time I gave him one star since I can't give zero.

Awesome experience with C. Bates Electric. Today they came out to replace our breaker. The price…read morewas a great value and the scheduling went smoothly thanks to Brittney E. Carlos was prompt, professional, explained what the problem was and did the job fast! He arrived at 8:56 AM and was out of our place at 9:28 AM. Things to note: they offer free estimates, but if you need troubleshooting like we did, the current rate is $200 the first hour and $100 per additional hour needed. If it's a simple fix like ours, you pay the troubleshooting cost plus any materials used. They were able to replace our breaker for us the same day as the scheduled diagnostic which was a great peace of mind for us. For more involved repairs, they provide an estimate before you give the okay to move forward. Their prices are more than fair for our area. Brittney's clear responses to my questions made me want to schedule with C. Bates Electric. I appreciated the transparency and professionalism. I reached out on Friday and they were able to get me in today (Tuesday morning). Tips: Pay with cash if you don't want or pay the misc fee - 4% Fee For Cards, ACH, Klarna, Cashapp, Or Venmo

Loved my experience with these guys…read more Consultation to install a dedicated breaker from my panel for my bathroom fan was straightforward, pricing was fair.

I've hired Abel for a couple electrical jobs: installing 30A and 50A electrical receptacles for a…read moredryer and induction range and the most recent to upgrade my PG&E service from 100A to 200A. On both occasions, working with Abel and watching him work, he's shown himself to be professional, knowledgable, creative, skilled and a true craftsman. On this last job, Abel patiently handled our PG&E service upgrade project and scheduled all required inspections and service transfer appointments. He worked with me to come up with a solution that would satisfy our needs and the service clearance requirements. When the work began, Abel and his helper, identified and fixed an issue related to miswired neutrals. By the end my homes electrical system was not only expanded in capacity but safer. If you're looking for an honest, fair and skillful electrician I'd recommend you hire Premier Pro Electric.

We were having a solar specialist troubleshoot our solar inverter and discovered our main breaker…read moreto the utility pole was overheating and actually smoking! He recommended calling an electrician asap so of course I started calling electricians immediately. Esed responded to my message very quickly and came over within an hour to do the repair. On a holiday (Friday July 3)! I can't tell you how much I appreciated his efficiency and experience. I'm so glad we were able to get this fixed before the overheating caused a much more expensive repair. I now have a professional electrician I can call on next time we need assistance with our old home's electrics. Thank you Esed!

I called Esed hoping to schedule an urgent service repair after the circuit breaker for our furnace…read moretripped and I could not get it to reset and turn back on. I called several electrician's hoping to get a same day appointment and was not having much luck. When Esed answered my call he asked me several questions about what happened and what my panel looked like then proceeded to walk me through how to force reset over the phone. His kindness in walking me through it over the phone not only saved me the cost of having an electrician come out at short notice but also saved me from a cold night without a working furnace. Esed could have charged me for an in-person fix but instead offered to help me on a call. When I do have electrical issues in the future (old house with old electrical will definitely need actual repairs & upgrades in the future) Esed at Ideal Electric will be the first person I call! Thank you again Esed!!

Marvin and his team did a wonderful job taking care of our electrical repair needs…read more His pricing was reasonable and he followed through on everything that he promised.

I feel lucky to have found Marvin and his team. They are friendly, treated my home with respect…read morefrom the moment they stepped through the door, and did a fantastic job installing bathroom fans and fixing some shoddy electrical work that had been done a day prior. Marvin was gracious enough to take time on his day off to help coordinate getting my electrical situation sorted, and showed up exactly when he said he would. On top of all of this, his prices were extremely reasonable. Couldn't be happier about the experience and the finished product.

In fact, on the call he said I could text or email him and I asked specifically which mode he preferred - he said that text would get the fastest response. So I texted. No response.

I'm grateful that I didn't spend long on this company but I still wish I could get my time and energy back spent schmoozing this guy who would end up ghosting me Edit: I got a notification 35 minutes after posting this review that he commented and I couldn't be happier that I left one star.

No, that's the GC's job. For a ~$100K project, that's extremely unprofessional and I would never hire a GC that starts by de-prioritizing my project and delegating work to me. I have interviewed a dozen GCs for multiple projects over the last year and never had anyone refuse a site visit. The pictures posted by this business give the impression that they do major remodels, but the reviews indicate that they seem to specialize in small handyman-type jobs and do well at those. Most of the Yelp reviews describe minor plumbing repairs like replacing faucets or toilets or small partial room projects.
