Well done all around. Scheduling was professional, prompt and courteous as were all follow up communications with the office. The estimator was polite, informative, listened well and the estimate was reasonable. No attempt to up-sell. Once I accepted the estimate, i was able to get an appointment within the same week. The two electricians, Josh and Daniel, who did the work were great! Super courteous, on-time, worked well together, stayed focused and seemed to know exactly what they were doing. They were very mindful of keeping my office tidy - plastic sheeting on furniture and tidying up after completing the job. I was happy with the final walk through with unprompted instructions on how to use everything and confirmation that everything was working. Would definitely hire again! read more

This company sucks. They keep sending me an invoice for a dispatch fee but I have asked multiple times to get back to me about waiving it since I have done business with them before. They keep telling me they have to talk to the owner and get back to me but they never do, they just keep sending more invoices. They didn't send any confirmation or reminders or en route messages for the dispatch, otherwise I would have canceled. I have the texts from last time but not this time so I believe this is their fault! Now I try to call them, and I cannot connect to the number. I have been trying all day. Very unprofessional, only attentive when wanting money but not responsive for any other reason. read more

My old house doesn't have all of the wiring needs for the modern age (even after being re-wired last year), and Wire Tech Electric was able to set up dishwasher and garbage disposal outlets (with dedicated circuits), an outdoor outlet (with dedicated circuit so we can run all the power tools we want), and a new 3-way switch in the dining room so we don't have to run through the dark to turn off the light at night. It's a small house, but it's so easy to stub your toes in the dark. Juan and Jose worked quickly and efficiently and I appreciated their attention to detail. Outside of the high quality work (everything looks fantastic and most importantly, works!) really great job in keeping the floors covered and cleaning up at the end. They asked questions throughout the project to ensure I understood how things were going to look/behave. This was key! It seems like right now it's easy to find service providers that don't bring that level of detail to the work because there's a lot of work to be had. Pricing was reasonable (I got several quotes), they showed up on time, and it was easy to schedule with Olvin. The invoice was detailed and it was simple to set up payment! 100 bonus points for the tagline too. read more

They have become my "go to" for electrical work. I have used multiple others and they have been disappointing or not have done a complete job by just satisfying the need in the surface and leaving a bigger problem covered up only to cost me more money later. This company is not like that. They have actually fixed others bad work. They are not always the cheapest but I know it will be fine right and that makes it worth it. I recommend them to anyone looking for an electrical contractor read more

Very happy with the work from Wire Tech Electric. Olvin and his crew were prompt, efficient, and super nice. Olvin was really great at communicating about our project and their pricing was really competitive. We did significant electrical work to our 110 year old home in Oakland. Wire Tech did a complete re-wiring of most of our home to remove remnants of old knob & tube and bring everything up to code. They also replaced our main electrical panel and installed a 2nd meter for a planned in-law unit. This required coordination with PG&E and Oakland building inspectors and everything went really smoothly. Cannot recommend Wire Tech enough - we will definitely be calling them next time we need electrical work. read more

We needed some electrical works for the new house. I contacted Wire Tech Electric after reading good reviews. Olvin set a free consultation appointment to see and evaluate the job. He was on time. We went over the items one by one and he explained how the will be done. Big like to his communication skill. The itemized estimate was emailed the day after and the appointment was set for the weekend. I like that they charge per task not per hour which i think it is a better business model. Two technicians (Juan and Yubani) showed up on time. Juan was communicating very well with attention to detail. We talked about each tasks in details. It wasn't like "let's just do it." We were very satisfied with the quality of work. They did it in a very clean way. The covered everywhere. They vacuumed at the end. I would contact them again in the future. read more

We recently had our dated electrical panel replaced and our home completely rewired by the Wire Tech team. Olvin and his crew were professional, courteous, and honest from start to finish. They followed all COVID guidelines (masks, social distancing) and convenient contactless payment. When I initially reached out for a quote, Olvin was available for a free in-person consultation within days and was able to provide a detailed written cost estimate for the job. Once hired, I was pleased with how communicative he and his team were about scheduling and next steps. They were very patient with our many questions and took care to explain every step of the project. I have already recommended Wire Tech to some of our neighbors and would absolutely recommend them to anyone in the East Bay for electrical work. read more

Our house was having lots of electric problems all around it, it wasnt safe for our kids So we decided to call WIRE TECH ELECTRIC because a family member recommended to us and they give me a fair price to fix everything. Now i feel that our kids are safe, I recommen WIRE TECH ELECTRIC to everyone They are the best read more

Called to see if they could address my electrical problem. Karen at Wire Tech was able to fit me in the next day. Olvin was able to come and quickly diagnose the problem and repair it. He answered my questions as he proceeded through the diagnosis. He also explained the risk had it not been addressed. I was very satisfied with the response and the service. I would recommend the service. The tech only charged for the service call.; read more

Working with these guys was great from start to finish. We needed the electrical job done as soon as possible and they made it happen. All of their employees were on time, hardworking and professional from the initial quote, the work itself, to the permitting. Olvin was really great about following through on his word at every junction which I know isn't easy when you are as busy as him. We really appreciated the quality work they did and the way they handled business. read more

These reviews keep using the word "professional," and I agree with them. Olvin was the only electrician that got back to me immediately. He was straight forward about his services and pricing, which I appreciate. His quote was fair and competitive. When they came in to rewire and add a fan to my bathroom, they put down plastic, so none of the debris hit my carpet. Olvin and one of his assistants worked hard the whole time and did a great job. Super nice guys. I'm going to have him come back to do more work later in the year. He also made some excellent points about putting a massive chandelier in a tiny bathroom. I mean, I cried about it for a few days, but he was right. :) I'd give him a call if I were you. Oh, and they wore their masks the whole time. I didn't even have to talk to them about it. Professional. read more

Olvin and the Wire Tech crew delivered on my large project. I've done a lot of big home projects but a full house re-wire and new 200 amp box was one of the most intimidating as I really don't know much at all about electric wiring. I got extensive bids from highly rated companies and these guys came low-middle of the pack there. However, I choose Olvin because of the knowledge and expertise offered were customer centric. Olvin took the time to listen, assess, and ultimately walk me through his recommendations and the whys behind them. Not a lot of the other crews did that and I personally think it's critical when taking on a big project. What I loved: * Thoughtful approach to the partnership * Responsiveness * Level of knowledge * Willingness to ensure I was satisfied with the work * Effort put into keep the space clean (which is no easy task give the type of job I had done) * Human and caring element - I have a daughter and the crew took breaks during her nap time so that there was no noise. Was that in their best interest to make money by moving onto the next job ASAP... no! They did it anyways because it's what you do to treat people well. * Effort to ensure all commitments were met * No nickel-and-diming: even if that meant providing a free light fixture here or there * Delivery of results Opportunities to make things even better: * Promptness - it wasn't a big issue but since I was WFH and in a ton of meetings last minute schedule changes caused me some stress. * A bit more communication on the little details In my mind 5 stars for a major electrical project isn't about everything going perfect. That's the nature of the beast... but Olvin stayed on top of it, drove results, and ultimately earned my trust. I highly recommend Wire Tech Electric. read more

Great service. Addressed all my needs & offered solutions. Out of all the places i researched they gave the most competitive price. Highly recommend! read more

First of all, most importantly, I have to say that WireTech Electric did an excellent job. I was having electrical fits and starts in one part of my condominium apartment. (Each unit has a separate electrical connection and meter.) Of course, I checked the circuit breaker for that area. It had not kicked off even though the problem persisted. I gave up and shut off the power to that area, the bedroom and bathroom. Next, based on prior reviews for WireTech, I gave them a call. They sent out their estimator the next day, who told me, not a big surprise, that because our building, and my unit's "power center" were 50 years old and sort of dangerously not up to code, they couldn't do the required work without replacing the entire power center (all the breakers and the box). He also gave me an estimate that was certainly more than I had imagined when I first called, but entirely reasonable once I understood the extent of the work that had to be done. It was a week before they could do the work, so I had to live that time without lights or outlets in the bedroom and bathroom. I managed. When the electrician arrived, on schedule and with all the required tools and equipment, he did the job very efficiently and in good spirits. All wrapped up and he was on his way. Everyone I dealt with at WireTech was helpful, polite, positive and forthcoming. They are good! read more

Olvin is very professional and has very focus service. The thing we like about him is no BS , no up-selling and gives right advice. Our previous electrician screwed up the job and all of our outside outlets were non functioning. Olvin and his team inspected and gave us right suggestions, fixed and made it working! We contacted him again for recessed lighting installations in our home office, he was spot on in installing them and did much better job in terms of quality and time perspective. He even had his PPE, and sanitizing station to maintain safety first. I would definitely recommend him and will be calling him again for future projects! read more

We had a great experience with Wire Tech Electric. Olvin was very prompt with a response to our quote inquiry for ceiling fan and dimmer switch installation, and running and installing a new outlet to our kitchen island. He was able to set up a same week visit to give a quote and discuss options, and give a same day electronic quote with task breakdown, within hours. Once all was discussed with the quote and the agreement was made, a same week appointment was made. Olvin and his crew were very professional and respectful of our time and home. They were very cleanly, laying down plastic for easy cleanup and were in PPE throughout their time in our home. I would definitely use Wire Tech Electric to friends and family and will be using them again for other electric needs. They started promptly at 8 and ended by 3pm. Thanks again! read more

Their estimates were unreasonable. Was able to get the project done at half the price from another licensed company

Exceptional Service. Amazing! I needed an Emergency Electrical Panel replacement in Oakland recently and this company was ready to help. A tree fell and took out the electric over the weekend. I called a number of electrical companies that advertised emergency services and Wire Tech was the only one who could give me information over the phone on the weekend. They were up front and communicative about every aspect of the complicated job of organizing PG&E and the city inspections and they got the job done as soon as possible. Since PG&E could not re-hook up the electricity during the entire one week process it was very appreciated. The price was reasonable, and they were extremely helpful talking to my insurance company. Thank You Wire Tech! read more

Wire Tech did a small job for us installing some of our home theater equipment. They came out for a free estimate to make sure they understood the job well and give advice. They scheduled the job very quickly. The technician who came to do the job (as well as everyone else I interacted with) was professional, friendly, thorough, and careful. I will definitely use them the next time I have electrical needs. read more

Service is great. They replaced my sub panel and added some direct lines. Technicians were on time and did a great job. Communication was also good especially with their senior technician Olvin. Highly recommended. read more

Really impressed with how professional and quickly these folks were!! We had a beautiful ceiling fan installed and they did a great job. read more

Wire Tech Electric - Electricians Near Me

Great service and really nice people. Installed an extra panel and car charger for us and dis a great job, on time.

Wire Tech Electric is simply the best! We had a large project wiring a new construction house in the Oakland Hills and got superb service from Olvin and his crew. They're easy to communicate with, pricing is extremely reasonable, and they were very helpful with any issues that arose during construction. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for electrical work to be done. Thanks for everything Olvin! read more

I'm glad I contracted with Wire Tech for replacement of my master and sub electrical panel! Olvin and his partner were great. They worked quickly, but with detail-oriented and methodical approach to identify systemic problems relating to my primary concern. They addressed these issues without a change order or raising the project estimate. Olvin started and completed his work precisely when he said he would. They cleaned the area thoroughly once they were finished, and were courteous and professional throughout the duration of the project. I'd be happy to work with them again! read more

Wire Tech Electric did an incredible job rewiring our very old house, adding outlets and switches, and installing new fixtures. It was a huge job, and they did it perfectly. They are super nice people and they do great, reliable, fast work. Olvin is extremely knowledgeable and clearly defined the scope of work for our project. The rest of the team was always friendly and patient and always completed the job to our specifications. These guys are really professional and smart. We plan to continue working with them because they do such a solid job - we definitely recommend their services. read more

We moved into our new house and we were having some problem with the outlets, and Olvin helped with some basic trouble shooting (required a simple reset!) over the phone since it was a weekend. So friendly! Looking forward to working with them for more services in our new house, given the reliable service. read more

Had to do some new wiring through walls and ceiling, careful load calculations. Olvin was very professional through the process and gave me a competitive estimate for the work that covered the patching of the walls and ceiling. Wire tech showed up in time, did a great job with the wiring and panel work, cleaned the place after. I was very happy throughout the process and I would recommend them for for this kind of work. read more

Had Olvin's team out to install my EVSE wiring. They were in and out quick, cleaned up the site after, made sure I understood what they were doing, answered all my questions, were knowledgeable about what I needed and what my home could handle. Would definitely use them again. Overall a great experience. read more

Quickly replied. Came on time and provided details about the job and followed with a quote.

They did a great job for me and were thoughtful about the impact of choices for how to do the work and respectful of my home. They ran two new higher amperage circuits (for an electric stove and A/C mini-split), added a GFR bathroom receptacle, upgraded my sub panel, and changed out a light fixture. There was something tricky about every part of the job, and they kept me informed throughout -- overall great communication. They sent four electricians who got everything done in parallel, and the place was patched and tidied up after one 7-hour day! Kudos! read more

This is a long overdue review on Wire Tech Electric. Olvin and his team rewired our whole house and updated the main panel earlier this year. We initially received quotes from 4 companies, Wire Tech's proposal was not the cheapest one but we liked its thoroughness and also how Olvin was able to explain the jobs to be done. We were very pleased with the work. The team was efficient and friendly and left the house tidy every evening. Despite the scale of the project, my husband and I were both able work from home without bigger disruptions. There were a couple of glitches in communication during the work but they were resolved quickly with the team. I can highly recommend Wire Tech Electric for any project, big or small! read more

I love their professionalism. They made sure to protect our carpet and floor. They communicate with me about their arrival time and any delays. Overall experience was great! Definitely would recommend them to my neighbors. read more

Olvin is great to work with and his guys are polite, tidy, and friendly. I had several other electricians come out & bid on my job, & chose Wiretech not only because his pricing was fair but also because they were responsive to my calls and communication is good. Communication is key in construction, I've dealt with so many subs who don't answer their phone, email, or texts, but wiretech is not like that Will hire again ! read more

Wire Tech helped install an outdoor outlet at my place. The conversation with the person they sent over for a quote was straight-forward and the installation (some days later) didn't interrupt my work (I work from home.) read more

Olvin arrived promptly, diagnosed and fixed the problem in less than an hour. The price is also very reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

I hired Wire Tech Electric to install new LED lights, electrical conduits and new outlets in my industrial warehouse. I was impressed with the whole job, from the estimate, communication, promptness, competency of the crew, and overall quality and craftmanship of the job. This cost about $6,000 and we are very happy with the work. The conduit was installed very solid which I appreciate. Nice job and I will let you guys know if we need any more electrical upgrades. read more

Timely responsiveness, quick assessment of what needed to be done, fair work estimate, thoroughly completed work. Olvin and his one assistant were focused and considerate when they arrived to install a new electrical panel. They brought a generator so that my wife and I could continue to work during the day. The job was completed in a day, and since then everything has worked according to plan. Highly recommended professional team. Thank you, Olvin and the Wire Tech Electric team! Great job. read more

Not the best experience with respect to getting back to the customer. After I made verbal contact, scheduled an appointment and left both me and my husband's phone numbers they canceled our appointment and messaged us on Yelp instead of our personal phone numbers. Totally unacceptable. I understand that they had an emergency appointment and cannot make it to our house, things happen I get it but at least have the decency to properly contact a potential customer. Glad we didn't hire these guys. read more

Do not recommend. I was working with Olvin on putting together a quote to install some brace kits and hang some fans. After supplying a quote, I indicated to Olvin I would like to just have the brace kits installed (as $195 / fan seemed very expensive and I have installed these exact fans many many times). Despite confirming over the phone this would be possible, Olvin cancelled on me at the last minute. Olvin cited "liability" as a reason he couldn't install just the brace kits. I offered to provide a letter of indemnification which was rejected. I cannot recommend this Company based upon their willingness to mislead customers. read more

They were great, really appreciated their advice and expertise. Waiting for a few other bids before we decide what to do!
