    New panel. Stucco guy is coming soon to complete the job
    Melanie L.

    Today was the 2nd time I've used 5 Star Electrical and I am over the moon that I did. The first time a few months ago they responded super quickly about a GFI issue that was potentially hazardous. Hunter spent time troubleshooting the issue and fixed it in the same day. While fixing it, he noticed that my panel was one that was recalled as a hazard years ago and I had no idea. Fast forward to this week they worked with PG&E and coordinated a time to come out to get the work done. Everything was well scheduled and communicated to me. Bruce and Hunter replaced the panel and then proceeded to fix several other existing issues that could've caused me some grief down the line and pointed out some things to take care of that were safety issues (including some rodents in the attic I didn't know lived here). They always made sure I understood everything they were doing and why. My house feels a lot safer to me now. I've had electrical problems multiple times since buying my house and I feel good knowing I have someone this reliable to call upon. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of an electrician. They were incredibly nice and my 26 year old son thinks they were the coolest

    Brand new and wired properly!

    They should be called 10 star because that's how fantastic and helpful Bruce was when I called to ask about EV charging. Highly recommend.

From the very start it was obvious to me that he comes with a wealth of experience and is simply an honest, hard-working man. I didn't have a very big project (sub-panel replacement), but he was still the only electrician from Yelp who paid me the courtesy of visiting my house in person before bidding. He was always on time, always responsive to calls and texts, and was just a pleasure to work with overall. As we talked about many things while he was working on the project, I felt like we became good friends. It quickly became apparent to me that I was talking to a real professional, with tons of experience handling projects of scale incomparable to mine. I learned that over his 45 years in the industry, he was involved in very large projects in key roles, managed rewiring of hospitals, stadiums, thousands of amperes of power, he knows it all. That he simply got tired of the intensity of big business and decided to work for himself and for the regular folk like you and me. And his pricing is very reasonable, too. I'd say you're getting an amazing deal hiring Kelly, with his experience and expertise he could very easily make much, much more as an industrial electrician or manager, he is overqualified for the jobs he is taking on now. But it makes him happy. I would, without a doubt, hire Kelly again and I hope to maintain a long-term relationship with him.

I was told Lonnie would be coming to our house and he showed up on time. He was so courteous, respectful and friendly. We just needed a new light installed in the entryway and two smoke detectors replaced. The smoke detectors were extremely high up so we could not do it ourselves. I also talked to him about replacing all the can lights and showed him what I was interested in. Later in the day he text me a picture of them at Home Depot. This will be our next project with Thoma. I also talked to him about when I worked at local company that we use them and he remembers the company this was back in 98. I highly recommend anybody who needs any type of electrical work done.

Based on this experience, we'll be calling them again as the need arises. From initial contact through completion of work, they were thoughtful, attentive to detail, offered very clear communication and worked in a timely fashion. A human being answered the phone, which was a great first sign. She listened to our issue, asked for further details, and provided that information to the electrician who came out. We received e-mail and text from dispatch letting us know when Danny was on his way. It included a photo of him so we'd recognize him upon arrival (in case the clearly marked work truck didn't give it away). Upon arrival, Danny read back the information he'd received, which enabled us to move ahead with the project rather than spend time explaining it all over again. He located a third plug we hadn't even known had not only tripped, but melted down - plug, wiring, and on up into the wall. (We were lucky we didn't lose our house.) In short order, Danny had replaced all three GFCIs, replaced the burnt wiring and connected them in a manner which may be safer in future (no idea what original installer was thinking) and made suggestions at our request for some future upgrades to the system here. The work ran us more than a grand, which wasn't sweet, but we felt like we got professional work in a timely fashion.

I understood that would be deducted from the $1,000+ estimate for the repair if I decided to ok the repair the same day.

I will find a more reasonable electrician to do the repair.

He considered our concerns and needs for safety and convenience. We knew it wasn't going to be a simple install because our breaker was on the opposite side of the preferred install location in the garage. I received a detailed and itemized install quote along with load calculations of our current panel showing us we could charge at full amperage. When I asked another electrician for an itemized quote or question, I received no response/reply. Mike was great with answering all my questions and keeping me updated on our expected install date. Once the permit was approved, he was in constant contact with me to set up and finalize install/inspection dates. 1 day of install, inspection the next day. Mike also gave us a packet with information on 3CE rebates that we would be eligible for (with a video walkthrough help on how to fill out the application). Overall, I would highly recommend Mike (apprentice Reece was a diligent worker also) and Charged Up EVs' install service. Quote was reasonable and with rebates, not much out of pocket. I'd rather pay a bit more to have ease of mind and know it's done right. It was nice having someone respond to my questions and requests within a day and not ghosting me. No complaints, have already charged my vehicle 4 times since install. No issues to speak of.
