These folks were recommended to my by a realtor; Wade is their go-to electrician. I hired them to fix the main wire into the house, as well as to fix an outlet that wasn't working. He was a super nice guy, explained what was going on as he was doing it, and fixed the (admittedly fairly straightforward) problems I had. Would use them again. read more

Jeff was a nice person, slow, but nice. He doesn't listens too well. Been slow, $175/hour will be way over the price. I had the materials but, he refused to use them and charged me almost $100 for the same materials. However, his wife Danielle is a nightmare. I suspect she is in her late 70, has a very dark mind, very opinionated. I am an Asian, she kept saying that she couldn't understand me. Even after I spelled out word by word. There are a lot good electrician, for sure you should skip this place And this place is charge price based on the zip code, he first says he'd gave me an estimate, after he saw my place, he says he will charge me hourly, and been slow, expect to pay more for it, You could do better for not using them read more

The only electrician I have used in over 10 years. Always top-notch service, fair pricing, and very professional and experienced. From installing a new 220 circuit for a car charger to replacing all the can lights in our kitchen, Jeff is my go-to guy. Highly recommended! read more

Just really great service. It's hard to find somebody that's up front, honest and reliable

Jeff was amazing! We had a fairly complex electrical problem that involved our lights flickering and some other concerning issues that baffled two other electricians. He was very methodical and has an exceptional troubleshooting mindset. He ended up determining that our problem was due to some grounding issues as well as a faulty neutral from PGE. I called PGE and sure enough, they confirmed this was indeed the case. I'm recommending Wade and Son to all my family and friends. read more

We have used them a couple of times. Their work has been excellent and the leave the area clean. I would definitely call them for any electrical work I need done in the future. read more

needed Jeff again to install a new light fixture, it's always a pleasure to speak with Mrs. Jeff (Danielle) she somehow manages to get me an appointment when I can arrange to be home. The light fixture is up and is it ever georgous! Quite a bit of work getting it up, ceiling is high, so up and down the big ladder, but it's done now and I love it. Jeff stays with it till it's right, he sure knows his stuff. I hope they never move, or retire, what will I do? Who will fix my electrical issues, I don't even want to think about it. Step read more

Called Wade at recommendation of a neighbor. Superb job of diagnosing the problem and then sticking with it to fix it in one call. Would use again as a first choice. This was a problem that benefitted from someone with real experience and solid work ethic. Problem: A 4-month old new oven stopped working after behaving bizarrely. Oven repair man said the voltages coming in were bad. Called Wade. They diagnosed problem as an intermittent connection, said it was probably in a junction box leading to oven, worked to find the junction box, sure enough there was an obvious connection problem, made the necessary repair. Everything working as it should. read more

Jeff installed a ceiling fan and an outside floodlight camera / security system. He did an excellent and thorough job, showed up on short notice. He was also very patient with us (where others might have perhaps been annoyed) as we had to reset the system multiple times, climbing for us up and down the roof several times beyond what the installation itself would have required without charging us extra. Would hire them again, definitely recommended. read more

I really like working with these folks. They deliver on their promises. I've never been disappointed.

For Gods sake do not use this company. i had a very small job to do that took less than an one hour. Blown circuit caused one outlet to go out. That was it. He reset the breaker. ONE HALF HOUR. Then we talked about future work. I did not know I was being charged for this, but OK, still only about ONE HALF HOUR. We said our goodbyes but on the way to his van he saw I had gophers and wanted to tell me how to get rid of them. I wanted to say goodbye but he insisted on this long story about his expertise on killing gophers. I got a bill charging me for this conversation almost 300.00. HIs hourly rate is 195.00. I should have been charged for the one hour. He believes that every single second he is on your property he deserves to be paid so watch out for his extended conversations when YOU THINK he is OFF the CLOCK. Be wary. I feel so ripped off. read more

As we started it was great. I sent him my drawing to be prepared. Don, the owner scheduled an appointment and all was good. He arrived and we walked the house and he took good notes to quote the job. As we ended, things turned sideways. We kidded a bit about his bid. He said, "you will pay for the work" and I said that is fine then he said "I have to compete with the Chinese people and they just want to Jew me down." Well, I am Jewish and I took great offense to this comment. The kicker is that the person who referred me to Wade electric is also Jewish! I guess Don Wade has paid full price for everything he has ever paid for since he doesn't like to be negotiated with on price. I bet not! As it turns out, his bid is extremely high. For example, $250 to run one outlet! Unless his wire, outlet and box is made out of gold or it takes 2 hours to run the wire 10 ft, this guy is crazy! I will not and would not recommend this anti-Semitic old man or his company! read more

A bit high priced, but quality work. They, like all other electricians I've worked with, do not repair drywall. But generally speaking they minimize the damage & they do a beautiful job cleaning up after. The inspector did find one problem (failure to properly ground) but they came back out and fixed that quickly, and at no charge. I'd hire them again. read more

I have used Don Wade for many, many years and referred many friends to his company without hesitation. From my memory, the $195 is for the first hour of work. If you have one outlet to change, it's $195 plus parts. If you decide to have 3 more done as well and it can all be done in the hour, it's $195 plus parts. I can't imagine anyone having an electrician come out and not ask the cost first. Neither Don nor Jeff stand around chit-chatting about the weather as my rate per hour keeps ticking away. I am scheduling a lot of electrical work at my house in the next couple of days and will only use Don Wade Electrical. read more

We cannot speak highly enough about Don Wade Electric....Jeff is the friendliest fellow & very hardworking & reliable. It is nice to let someone get on with things...& it's great to be able to trust someone when working around your home! No job is too difficult for Jeff either.....we have certainly tested & can approve of his creativeness when it comes to outdoor lighting :-) read more

I am a real estate broker and refer Don Wade Electric Company whenever I get the chance. My father is also in real estate and has been referring Don Wade Electric Company for over 15 years. Jeff Wade is FANTASTIC and really knows his stuff. He works on my entire family's personal residences and always does a great job. Jeff has been able to diagnose/fix problems that other electricians had no idea what to do with. Is Don Wade Electric Company cheap? No they are not. But you get what you pay for and in the long run it saves you money to get things done properly to begin with. I also sleep better at night knowing that my electrical work is done correctly and my family is safe! read more

When we bought a home in Willow Glen (1922) it needed the electrics upgraded and made completely safe inside and out. A friend recommended this company. Don and Jeff came to assess the jobs and completed all the necessary work in a timely and efficient manner. Since then anytime we need any upgrades to enhance our property inside and out I call Don and Jeff. I trust them with electrics in my home. They are a family run, reliable, professional company. read more

Jeff Wade helped us with extensive electrical work on a home we just moved into. He helped ground all outlets, rewired our electrical such that all outlets and switches work seamlessly and installed ceiling can lights throughout the entire home. The work he did was excellent, he helped guide me on lighting placement and the types of can fixtures to use. He is extremely easy to work with and dependable. Lastly, Danielle is a superb office manager who is attentive, professional and always nice to chat with. I highly recommend this business for your next project! read more

i will give 'Don Wade' zero star if yelp has such rating. Similar situation as Karen stated below, Mr Wade sent in electrician, switched the plug, light on and he left in 20min. next thing is $195 bill. When i tried to talk to Mr Wade about the charge, he is rude and unreasonable. i said his charge is too high for 20min stopping by, and Mr Wade responded that i must pay for his service or he will send a professional collector. is this a Mafia threatening message? in addition, they didn't mention about their rate at all when we contact them and how can they be HOA recommended electrician?!!! out of angry about this company read more

I used Don Wade Electric & found their services to be excellent! They showed up on time, did the work very quickly & for a fair price. When calling around for prices, the rate per hour was lower with some other companies however, the other companies would not give me estimate of how long they thought it might take. Don Wade Electric gave me an estimate over the phone regarding the time & probable price. They completed the work faster than quoted so the price was cheaper-yahoo! I will definatly use them again & I highly recommend them! DS read more

I am a real estate agent, and whenever one of my clients needs electrician Don Wade is the first company I recommend. Their work is excellent, they are fast, and they charge a reasonable rate. I have used them hundreds of times over the last 15 years and they have always played it strait with me. Cannot recommend them enough. read more

I will give zero star too. I had similar experience as others , Don Wade sent an electrician, fixed the open circuit. The electrician left. Power was on now but my alarm system was beeping due to setting changed while power was off. I immediately called back electrician thinking that the it was not getting power but the problem was setting of home alarm system. In spite of his two trips to my home it was less than hour. I received bill of $349 dollars as they charged me for two hours. When i tried to talk to Mr Wade about the charge, he was rude and unreasonable and his explanation about bill was that I have to pay for electrician travel time too......If they take two hours to reach client's home they bill for that too. my house is 15 minutes away from the company location... I am sure you can get good service and reasonable rate like $90 per hour in market. I am never calling Don wade electric company. This is complete rip off. If they are not reasonable in pricing pretty soon their business is going to suffer. read more

Recent purchase of a home. Many electrical issues to deal with. Contacted Don Wade Electric on the recommendation of another electrical contractor. First phase was to scope the work; second phase - on another day - was to perform the work.. Jeff Wade, company foreman, is a true professional. He kept his appointment committments. He works efficiently and quickly. In summary, I am very pleased with the work performed by Don Wade & Son Electric. read more

Way too prices. Average electrician hourly rate ~$90, they charge $125 and there is no difference on how difficult or simple the job is. I bet you can find better electrician with lower rate on HomeAdvisor or similar website. read more

It was disappointing that they didn't wear boot covers when entering home and excuse it because "it's a rental". Left a mess of paint chips all over work area. A little courtesy goes a long way. read more

Showed up an hour after I called and fixed our wiring issue. Friendly service and charged me a reasonable fee.

Very high price for a single visit. We asked them to come out for an electrical issue, which took them 5 minutes tops, and they charged $195 as their "minimum fee". Other electrical firms have a much more reasonable minimum fee, and the company wouldn't work with us on this issue at all. read more

I'm giving this company two stars only because I was satisfied with one job they did for my family in the past. This time I called them because two different backyard timers had shorted out and the landscaper felt it was an electrical problem (he was right). Don Wade sent an electrician out who merely plugged something into the outdoor outlet and said, "Yup, you have electricity", and left. My landscaper installed a third timer which shorted out in a couple of days. The problem was water from the irrigation was getting into the outlet and causing the GFI to trip which in turn shorted out the timers. I had to hire another electrician who finally diagnosed the root of the problem and fixed it for $185. Next thing I know I get a bill from Don Wade for $195. When I called to tell them I will not pay this bill because their guy did not solve the problem, the answer I got from Mr. Wade was, "Well, we came out and I paid my electrician". I assured him once again I will not pay this bill. From now on I'm using Voigt Electric. read more
