We hired Valencia Electric to install track lighting and a few light fixtures and Natalie did an excellent job. Natalie is no-nonsense and a professional through and through. Excellent work, done correctly, on time and on budget. Highly recommend. read more

I worked with Valencia Electric to install a step-down transformer and new landscape lighting in my yard. Natalie was always very communicative, responsive, and courteous. She worked efficiently and got the job done on budget, thoughtfully helping to plan and deliver the project, and she even helped to troubleshoot and replace a faulty outlet while she was onsite. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for help with residential electrical work! read more

Valencia Electric - Landscape lanterns and spotlight installed by Valencia Electrc - Electricians Near Me

I highly recommend Valencia Electric. I like to support local businesses and women-owned businesses. Natalie, who I believe owns Valencia Electric, gave me an initial estimate and stayed within the estimate through to job completion. During both visits she arrived on time, was efficient at diagnosing the problem and fixing it (replaced ceiling fixture). She understood my predicament, being a small local business owner as well and the necessity to have working lights for us to open and conduct business. So although she had a very busy schedule, she made time for me. I appreciated her thoughtfulness in this instance. read more

Electrical work can be a bit scary. I usually try to do simple projects myself, but when it's not a switch or plug, I start getting nervous. Such was the case with a Sense energy monitor I began to install in my main panel last week. After doing some of the preliminary work, I realized that I was a bit out of my depth. Based on Yelp reviews, I began to look for electricians in the area. Natalie's page stood out as having good reviews on the value of her work and communication. Both of which, especially the latter, is very important to me. We scheduled for this morning. Natalie was on time and settled in, wrapping things up pretty quickly. She was friendly, familiar with the installation, and texted me to let me know the project was complete. We tested the sensor, which worked as expected. I don't love spending money on electrical repairs, but I'm kind of excited to hire Natalie for a future project. Would definitely recommend. read more

Natalie is precise, officiant, comes prepared and always honors her quote. (Even when the job goes over) I have never met an electrician with quite such talent and precision. With her I have never had to wonder if the job was done right. I will recommend her to everyone I know. P.S. She even cleans up after herself! read more

It's hard to say enough good things about Natalie. Professional, fair, and highly skilled of course. We've worked with her a few times now, usually when something complicated was involved. She is an artist in her craft, and always comes up with an elegant solution. read more

Highly recommend! We were looking to install a hardwired LED vanity mirror and a light fixture in our bathroom. Natalie came in, ran wiring through the walls with surgical precision so the mirror and vanity light would operate independently as opposed to being powered by one switch. After having talked to multiple electricians who pushed for us to have one switch operate both fixtures, we absolutely made the right decision in going with Natalie who spent some time examining options and ultimately helped land the best solution. Fair quote, impeccable work, excellent customer service and someone we will work with on future projects. read more

Natalie is efficient, professional, very easy to work with, and did a great job. I look forward to hiring her again!

An amazing company! They were on time, did exactly the service I requested and went above and beyond to help me and have great prices. Highly recommend for anyone in need of electrical work. Thank you so much Valencia Electric. read more

Great service. Our electrician was timely, knowledgeable, polite, and quick. Pricing was also on-par or better than competitors.

Natalie upgraded our main panel to 200 amps. The work she did was solid. However, we were disappointed in her communication and responsiveness. Scheduling was hard to pin down. She said she would make our old panel into a sub panel but just removed the old panel instead. It will be an extra expense for us to add a sub panel later since we'll likely need more room. In addition, there were a few loose ends she said she'd help with but never did. While she is competent, we'll find another electrician in the future who is more reliable and communicative. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Natalie at Valencia Electric. We exchanged emails about my project and she gave me a tentative email quote. This was great as it gave me a ball park of what to expect price-wise. I did shop around a bit and decided to go with her. She wasn't the cheapest and she wasn't the most expensive bid I received. I'm so glad I chose Valencia Electric to install a 20 amp circuit, switches, and wiring to my new bathroom exhaust/heater fan. She was prompt, super polite, was COVID safe (she even wore booties over her shoes), meticulous in her work, and very, very clean. All things I love in a contractor. If you're looking for a great electrician, call Valencia Electric. I will definitely be using her again. read more

Natalie, owner of Valencia Electric, is hands down the best electrician I've ever had working on my residential properties! I have requested her expertise and services on several occasions and have had 5 star plus service each and every time. She has changed out sub panels, traced circuits, troubleshot, consulted with me on various projects. She has the keen ability to communicate what most would find very complex electrical concepts so throughly and in lay person terms that even I, the most non mechanical person in the world, may understand. Her integrity is above reproach. She is honest, detailed, and CLEAN! Her work ethic is impeccable! I recommend Natalie to everyone I meet! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! read more

Natalie is a amazing and very knowledgeable! I needed my TV and soundbar to be mounted up on the wall. She did amazing work. Look no further she's the person for the JOB read more

Valencia Electric - 55" TV, sound bar, tv shelf - Electricians Near Me

We just had an EV charger installed in our garage by Valencia Electric. Natallie Valencia, the owner, did an excellent job for us. Her bid was reasonable, great attention to detail, very knowledgeable in all facets of electrical applications. Another thing that we feel is very important was she was ontime for the appointment for the bid and ontime the day of the job installation. We highly reccommend her for your electrical needs. read more

I just got a plug-in electric car and needed a stand-alone charger installed next to my driveway. Natalie gave me a great price when I asked for an estimate, and even though I threw her a couple curveballs during the process, she stuck to that estimate. She got all the permits the city required, and dealt with them for the inspection that was needed at the end. I didn't know about any of this but she did and took care of all of it. Natalie was prompt and did the work quickly without sacrificing any care. I couldn't be any happier. I had estimates that were twice as high as what Natalie charged. But I don't think I could be any more pleased than I am. I would recommend Natalie and Valencia Electric for any job. read more

So professional, kind and amenable -- even with my 85-year-old mom bothering her :) Highly recommended. Natalie replaced several outlets, found out the source of our weird outage, fixed a malfunctioning light feature and installed a new one in a bedroom. She's awesome! read more

I was so pleased with Natalie's work that I had her come back for a consultation on updating the lighting in the rest of the house - we proceeded, and as before, the results are wonderful. She is a consummate professional and in addition she fixed a couple of things that were problems unknown to me, but enhanced the safety as well as the aesthetics of the house. Thank you Natalie!!! read more

We woke up to our electricity off, and after an unsuccessful visit by PG&E, we contacted Valencia electric. Natalie responded immediately, gave us a very reasonable quote, and fixed our circuit breaker in the same day. She was professional, timely, and best of all, we have power! read more

"As good as it gets", indeed! First house and in two years I've tried countless handy-persons and electricians with a variety of jobs. I always dread the search, because inevitably the person that comes out does not so stellar work. Well, no longer will I need to dread calling an electrician!! * Natalie rocked our wold when she transformed our ten canister lights to beautiful LED lights that'll last 20 years: they look awesome and up to date now. * She exchanged several of our standard outlets for those that now include USB ports -- WOOT! Ease of use increased drastically around here. * We had a plug that had no power to it..like literally, it was a dummy plug: nothing had ever been run to it! She rocked that out and now it is functional and fantastic. * A bedroom had a single plug so she ran an entire new line and added a plug in there for us across the room: so thankful to have it there. * We had two people "fix" a fixture only to have it not work within a week so we talked about it, looked it over, and instead she put in a new fixture that I like so much more: the Edison bulb is perfect for our CA bungalow. * We were having issues with our internet speed so she troubleshot that with our provider directly, and we all three came up with a plan which she executed perfectly -- no more slow speeds and I took her suggestion to get a signal extender for the back porch, providing us with lovely afternoons online and in the sun all at once :) At this point, I am almost TRYING to find electrical needs just so I can get a second taste of contractor after-glow. It's a first for me, and I'm thankful to her for renewing my faith in not only electricians, but home maintenance support at large! read more

Valencia Electric - Installed beautiful new fixture with Edison bulb - Electricians Near Me

See all

Natalie is a true professional! Respectful, clean, resourceful and a pleasure to work with. We have an old house with plaster walls and wanted to mount the tv on an exterior wall. The first person we called was flummoxed and gave us a bunch of reasons why it wouldn't work like we wanted. Luckily the box with our mounting bracket arrived from Amazon with a missing a part and we had a delay while waiting for it. Natalie arrived promptly, was unfazed by the job and even went to Home Depot to get yet another part which was missing. I would with her again in an instant. In fact, we have some other small electrical jobs around our house, and we are using Natalie. read more

Valencia Electric does excellent quality work. They are reliable, fair and responsive. I highly recommend them!

Natalie is friendly, transparent, professional and knows her stuff. She helped us troubleshoot and fix some faulty light fixtures that two other electricians hadn't been able to correctly repair. Highly recommend and would absolutely hire her again!! read more

Wonderful! Prompt, excellent communication, kind and respectful. Would absolutely recommend without reservation.

We will hire her again and refer her to everyone we know. She not only mounted our TVs but also a cabinet on the wall to hold all of the equipment. We are renters so can't do in-wall wire hiding, no problem, she brought the exact equipment we needed to hide the wires between the TV and the cabinet, and the cabinet to the outlets. It looks FANTASTIC. She's also friendly, smart and considerate (she covered her boots everytime she came into the apartment). I watched as she measured everything at least twice before making a move, and she doubled up the hardware for the cabinet to make sure it was extremely sturdy. We are more than extremely happy with the job she did! read more

Valencia Electric - Natalie did an amazing job mounting our TV and cabinet, as well as surface hiding the wires (renters so can't hide in wall) - Electricians Near Me

Natalie came quickly, and diagnosed and fixed my problem. Another electrician wanted to rewire the house (which had already been rewired) and charge $5k or more. Natalie diagnosed the problem -- a bad switch -- and fixed it in no time. And for a lot less the $5K! I am recommending her to all my friends. read more

Natalie did a good job of assessing the needs to improve my lighting. She came with several options to choose from, showed me the differences and various prices, thus making it easy for me to make a decision. I am enjoying the new lighting and I am so glad that I found Natalie on Yelp. read more

Natalie is awesome: professional, knowledgeable, communicative and fair. We had Natalie change our old panel (a big fire hazard) back in December 2019/January 2020. Natalie came over several times to set things up and did a fantastic job communicating with me arrival times, delays with PG&E, power shut off, inspection schedule, etc... All the while, billing was transparent and gradual, and my questions were promptly fielded. Another quality of Natalie's work is tidiness. Natalie made sure there was no mess left around and patched the wall after removing and disposing of the old panel. So pleased were we that we called on Natalie again to properly ground our garage last month. After inspecting the situation (with proper distancing and protection--welcome to the age of COVID), Natalie offered a solution and a couple of backup options. Finally, since the first simple solution worked, Natalie reduced the bill significantly. From now on, for any electrical work, we know who to turn to! read more

I know - another 5-star review for Valencia Electric - is this for real? Yes, it's for real! Natalie is as good as it gets! I hired Natalie for what initially started as a small project but morphed into a large one. Natalie did the following: - swapped out can lights in my dining room, entryway and hallway - replaced the dining room light w a fixture - replaced my entryway light w a pendant - replaced my hallway light w a recessed light - installed bar pendants - installed recessed lighting in my kitchen (and removed the existing track lighting). Less glamorous, but greatly appreciated, she also updated: - all my outlets and light switches w new plates/covers - installed a timer on my outside light - installed a programmable wall thermostat for my baseboard heater which was originally controlled by an on-unit dial with no temperature settings. Service: Natalie was extremely patient and obliging when I kept adding things to the list of items I wanted updated. She never once hesitated to come out to give me updated estimates, all at my convenience on the weekends. She was punctual and extremely polite. She is quick to respond to emails and address any questions you may have. Since I have extremely limited experience doing electrical upgrades and repairs, her responsiveness and transparency made my experience really awesome. One of the most amazing things about hiring Natalie is that she clearly takes pride in her work and her service. **My place was spotless everyday when I came home!!!** I expected my place to be dusty and messy for a week. I even told my housekeeper that she should plan on spending extra time on my place at the end of the week bc I was having work done. Work: The work Natalie did was done with care, and she did a really quality job. She conferred w me more than once to double check the length I wanted my pendants, the placement of the recessed lighting, and the job took just a little while longer bc she didn't like the recessed lights she originally thought would work. For whatever reason, they buzzed and so she tried several different ones so I wouldn't have the buzzing. She managed to put fewer holes in my ceiling and walls than she initially planned bc she found alternate access options. She clearly thought about what she was doing so as to make it a better experience for me, rather than just plowing forward with the simplest option. Overall: I can't recommend Valencia Electric enough! read more

We had a not so straight-forward light installation. We initially hired a supposed highly-rated diamond certified company for the job. The end result was appalling. It didn't even begin to resemble what we asked for and what was agreed upon. We were left with unsightly wiring and a light fixture dangling in an unstable fashion from the ceiling. When we asked them to fix it and do what was agreed upon, we got these elaborate excuses for why it would be too difficult and cost prohibitive. Needless to say, we felt totally scammed. We couldn't leave the fixture in that state, so we carefully started looking again for an honest and competent electrician. Enter Natalie and Valencia Electric. What a breath of fresh air in a sea of predatory contractors! Natalie came over to provide an estimate and described exactly how she would tackle the job. Without telling her how we wanted the light and wiring to be installed, she suggested exactly what we had envisioned, and added some very creative and thoughtful improvements. Her efforts were Herculean and the end result is beautiful! I still smile every time I look at the fixture. Natalie has renewed our faith in humanity (and contractors)! Natalie is so professional and talented, but equally importantly she is very kind and incredibly honest. We will never use anyone else. read more

Great service. She hung my television in two of my rooms and put automatic lights in .

Natalie was available quickly for a quote, was very professional and seems knowledgeable. It was a larger job, which led to 2 negatives (minus 1-star for each): 1) She's an independent electrician with no team, so the job would have taken more time start to finish 2) Her quote, compared to 3 other similarly reviewed - 5-star - electrician firms was more than double (several thousand $$). Obviously, people are welcome to charge what they want, but it may be worth getting a 2nd quote just in case. read more

Long overdue review for Natalie. She is amazing! She has done a couple projects at our place and is efficient, professional, reasonably priced, etc. She has converted 2 prong outlets to 3 prong, put in new outlets altogether, added lighting outside, and created dim lighting in our bedrooms. Highly recommend working with her for your electrical needs. read more

I didn't have to lift a finger. It took me and bf to lift the friggin 42" tv from one room to the other and boy, did we have a rough time....Natalie picked it up like it was nothing. Gg. read more

I had a great experience today with the licensed electrician that i hired. The company is Valencia Electric, Inc. The owner, Natalie Valencia, was very honest, professional, prompt, friendly, and neat. Over the last several years, my kitchen and bedroom lights kept going out. I thought i had serious electrical problems; but instead, I only needed to replace the fixtures- Natalie offered to go get the fixtures or to have me pick them out at the local store. I decided to pick out what i wanted. Also, she replaced the motion detector light bulb that was broken by vandals last month. I thought i would have to replace the entire motion detector; but, she saved me money by simply replacing the bulb. If you need an honest, professional and prompt electrician please consider hiring (tell your friends, too) Valencia Electric, Inc., of Berkeley 510-243-5198. natalie@valenciaelectricinc.com www.valenciaelectricinc.com Valencia Electric, Inc. did a great job and addressed all the concerns I had. I am relieved and pleased with the results. You can't go wrong by hiring Valencia Electric, Inc. I told my El Cerrito neighbors and my Berkeley friends to hire Valencia Electric for all their electrical needs. read more

We needed an electrician to figure out why we couldn't get our tripolar dimmers to work. Natalie was able to troubleshoot the situation and installed new sconces and high wattage dimmer switches. She's fast, knowledgeable, and does excellent work for reasonable prices. read more

I found Natalie off Amazon local deals for a buddy's restaurant (which has since folded) whose outlets were constantly on the fritz- seriously the lights and registers went on and off so often, the customers cracked jokes that we had a damned poltergeist in the fuse box. As my friend and I are so technically inept we can barely manage to change the damned ringtone on our smartphones, we got her over and long rambling story short: not only was Natalie prompt and professional, she was patient; and for us that makes all the difference. I'm not going to pretend I understood what went wrong, what she did to make it right, but I appreciate the courtesy she showed us, taking the time to carefully and clearly explain to obvious technophobes how even if we understood nothing else, that the problem was fixed, and Natalie's card has a place of honor in my rolodex (yes I have a rolodex with the cracked plastic and the grease-printed index card, and no I don't know or care how to use google contacts). I'll be using Natalie for all my personal and future commercial electrical needs- and if you're also needing the gremlins screwing with your lighting excised- you KNOW who you gonna call!? read more

I absolutely recommend Valencia electric and Natalie's work. She installed an outdoor 110 outlet in my front yard and it works perfectly. She was honest, efficient, and timely. We communicated over email, on the phone, by text, and in person. She made the whole process easy and transparent. She blew other electricians I talked to out of the water because she really knows her stuff. I can now use an electric mower, power tools, and charge my electric car if I want to. She was available within the week. Where other electricians never showed up, she got the job done ahead of schedule. The only confusion was over timing of the final install because she came sooner than expected. But who doesn't want their job done sooner? I will be calling on Valencia electric in the future for sure! read more

Outstanding!!!! What a wonderful surprise it was to have Natalie from Valencia Electric come and convert our pull strings to toggle switches. Natalie consulted with us about the options, provided an estimate and delivered with incredible service. She was on time, professional, creative and totally neat. It is great doing business with a woman owned business. Yes, if we need additional electric services, we will call Valencia Electric. read more

Great experience having my pottery kiln wired with Valencia Electric! Natalie was responsive, professional, and did a very tidy job. She came out to give me a quote right away when other electricians spent lots of time on the phone asking me questions that they could answer much more easily with a quick visit. When the estimate looked out of my range, Natalie explained that the specialty cable for the kiln was very pricey (and I needed 70' of it) but she helped me find a cheaper source, as well as giving me the appropriate specs so I could look for it second hand online since I was really trying to cut costs. Another electrician told me I had to source the cable entirely myself, and he couldn't even tell me what I needed; it was practically impossible to know what to look for. The cherry on top: Natalie got the job done faster than anticipated, and in the pouring rain. Thank you Natalie! I'll certainly be coming back next time I need an electrician. read more
