I highly recommend Velo Electric. Carlos is super experienced, professional, and was very responsive. I will definitely call Velo next time I need an electrician! read more

Carlos was easy to connect with and responsive to messages about the work and scheduling. It was a small project and previously I had trouble finding an electrician that wanted to come out for the two hours of work I needed. Carlos arrived on time, worked quickly, and cleaned up the area when he was done. If I need additional electrical work in the future, I'll definitely be using him again! read more

Carlos was great. He responded promptly to all my messages, was highly professional and knowledgeable.

Carlos is the best electrician I've worked with. He worked on my parents home quickly, efficiently and at a great cost. All our electrical jobs moving forward, we will be working with Velo. Highly recommended!! read more

I really appreciate Carlos quick response from the get-go. Reached out to him and a couple other electricians on a weekend. His reply was prompt and professional. Showed up as promised, went ahead to figure out what was wrong with my dryer outlet. Explained to me why things went bad, and how he planned to fix it and prevent the same issue. Very neat and sturdy work. Would recommend. read more

My pool pumps went kaput. Based on the excellent reviews I called up Velo Electric for the repair. Carlos was very professional, very easy to communicate with, and punctual. He was able to quickly diagnose the problem with the prior installation which caused the pump burn-out so re-configured the breaker fuses to work properly and safely. He installed new breakers in a proper configuration and a new protective outdoor electrical box with new wiring and pump and sweep timers to replace the corroded 40 year box, an electrical hazard and accident just waiting to happen really. Now I have peace of mind. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Carlos and on that basis contracted with him to help me install external floodlight security cameras for my house. I will cover that installation in a separate review. Bottom line: I HIGHLY recommend Carlos. ==================================================== Here is my security camera installation review of Velo Electric (I tried to post a follow up review but yelp deleted my prior one, so I'm posting this here). Based upon the great work Carlos did on my pool pump electricals (breakers, timers, outside electrical box), I contracted with him to help me install external security floodlight cameras for my house. He also installed a several non-floodlight cameras, and cleaned up some poorly installed outdoor sprinkler timer wiring. The installation required co-ordination and adjustment of the outdoor cameras by Carlos and myself. As I brought each camera up onto my security network, Carlos assisted me to adjust them physically for the right view. In my opinion, we worked together well, he on his ladder (my floodlights are up very high) and me on my smartphone, so we were able to complete all installations in one day. Carlos also helped me choose the correct equipment since some were hardwired to junction boxes, others solar connected. If you're looking for professional electrical help with security camera installation, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Carlos since my experience with him was EXTREMELY satisfactory. Thank you Carlos! read more

When I chose Velo i was a little concerned since he had 5 reviews. But wow he was great, the 5 reviews must be because people don't yelp or something. He was responsive, professional in the scheduling and the actual work delivered. He showed up on time and got done all the things we needed, cleaned up so it was like he was never there. They installed some ceiling fans and fixed some old wiring done by others that I had some concerns about. He looked it all over and saw what was good and what needed some fixing. Carlos is my guy for electrical work from now on. If you need an electrician (and he's licensed) he can be your guy as well. Thanks Carlos. read more

Carlos is nice, knowledgeable and quick response person and his quoting is reasonable and quick. Thank you. Highly recommend.

I rarely write reviews and only save them for really good ones. We contacted Carlos to help us complete an electrical connection for our store. He's patient, knowledgeable and very well spoken. He ended up being a great asset in finding out there were other issues with the wiring in our store. He spent time explaining to us what needed to be changed. He then advised us to go back to the engineering company that we hired (and paid a lot for) to let them know. They admitted their mistake and reconfigured the wiring plans. Thanks Carlos for helping us catch that. We are in the food business and would definitely hire Carlos for our next ventures. read more

Very happy with the work. Had a larger local company advise we had to shut off our power and do an emergency panel upgrade. Asked for a 2nd opinion and Carlos came and explained panel was not in the shape previous company described and did some work at more than half off what other quotes were. It is hard to find someone trustworthy who isn't just trying to upsell or scare Homeowners Into making unnecessary decisions and Carlos was one of the first people who really broke everything down and in an honest way to give full picture of situation. He has a great demeanor and easy to talk with. Would recommend reaching out to him with issues as you won't be disappointed read more

I put a bid out n order to get a NEMA 14-50 installed in my garage for EV charging. Carlos was not only competitively priced, but way more responsive than others. Because of that, I went with Carlos and Velo Electric. There was a slight misunderstanding around scheduling due to the holiday season, however Carlos took ownership of this misunderstanding and provided a discount. This gesture shows how professional Carlos is and how he takes care of his customers. I would have no problem working and/or recommending Carlos. read more

Needed a 50amp 240v breaker installed for an Electric Vehicle charging station. Requested service in morning and by 1p the same day, the job was done. Great job at an acceptable price. Will use again read more

If I could give Carlos 10 stars I would!! This is one of the best contractor experiences we've ever had, and we've remodeled a lot of homes. I wanted to replace our old chandelier over the kitchen island with hanging pendant lights and I had called around for estimates. Carlos called me back the same day and I sent him photos of what we had and what we wanted to do. He gave me an estimate the next day; it was reasonable and he scheduled a date when he could do the work. When he arrived at the house and saw me in house slippers, he immediately removed his work boots and proceeded to cover my kitchen cabinets and counter with plastic to protect from the dust of cutting ceiling sheetrock. His work is meticulous, and he checked with me on the spacing of the lights to make sure it is what I wanted. He really listens to what the customer is saying they want. My kitchen looks beautiful with the hanging pendants, AND... he left my counters and floors clean when he left!! I am so glad we found him, and will be calling him back for more electrical work when we are ready to do it. If you need an electrician that is honest, reasonably priced, and cares about his customers call Carlos, you will be glad you did!!! read more

Carlos did a great job replacing some electrical outlets in our bedrooms. He also checked out our electrical panel to make sure everything was in good working order. I will definitely call him again if I need help. read more

Carlos did a great job of relocating a subpanel for me. It was located in a loft in the gararge and I wanted brought down to Garage wall. I'm not as young as I used to be, so getting up in the loft to access a tripped breaker is going to only get more difficult. If you want an honest and responsive electrician Velo Electric is who to call. read more

My neighbor right next door asked me about installing a new electric panel for their townhouse where we share a wall. They received a very high quote from someone so I looked area in my area since it was a project I had been thinking about doing as well. I searched and had a few quotes for both of us. Carlos came right out, gave us a quote we agreed upon and he did the work yesterday! It is not an easy job but got the permits and approval from Saratoga and PGE. Everything went smoothly and very professional, which is hard to find these days. I highly recommend his business. read more

I'm generally not the easiest grader, but he earned five stars or more! I couldn't be happier. read more

I'm so happy with the work that was done by Carlos and his team. Whenever I need an electrician, Velo Electric will be my first call. These guys were awesome! Carlos was the first to respond when I asked for a quote from multiple companies and his price was so much more affordable/reasonable than his counterparts. He also gave me a detailed breakdown of what had to be done for the job and the costs which made me feel at ease. He was very flexible on his availability and was in constant communication with me from the time I requested the quote until he left my house. He and his partner, Harley, were very professional and friendly. They were very efficient, got the job done quickly and properly! Now, a month later, everything is still perfect! The electricity and fixtures in the rooms he worked on are, finally, how they always should have been! read more

I enjoy the quick response and excellent service provided by Carlos Velo. The smoke detectors of my home have been beeping quite often and created lots of noises. Upon the advice of friends, I tried the yelp to find certified electrician to come to help and asked for the cost.

Carlos' company definitely adopts customer-centered service. What a pleasant experience! I strongly recommend Carlos without any hesitation if you need help. read more
