Dave and Absolute Electric are highly recommended by us. We had a fluorescent problem in the garage that need to be trouble shooted and fixed. Lights out as switch was flipping breaker. Dave was prompt, friendly and did a great job of figuring out the problem in a timely manner. He explained what the issue was, combination of old ballasts and screwball wiring by the PO. He also showed some other previous shortcuts that will eventually need to be fixed. The price was reasonable. I had him take down all the old fixtures and odd shaped inefficient bulbs. I later went to HD and got all new fixtures and installed all kinds of T8s everywhere. Now the garage looks like an art gallery!! Going forward I will use Dave and Absolute electric for any electrical needs. I will also refer him to a couple of my real estate buddies so they can use him for their RE needs. Dave read more

Last week Dave came and did recessed lighting and upgraded my circuit breakers. He did a phenomenal job. Explained everything as he was doing it. I highly recommend his services! read more

Dave is awesome! I live in New Hampshire and have a rental house in Tracy. HUGE PAIN! Dave was super accommodating and quick to respond AND follow through! He arranged an appointment with my tenant and sent pictures and information ...and dealt with PG&E since I couldn't be there. He didn't try to oversell me on work either. Dave is a kind person and very trustworthy. He also did great work for my father who was very appreciative ...and also who couldn't figure out how to leave a review. Dave even helped my older parents out before he left and didn't expect anything extra. He's a good guy. Call him. Trust me. I'm a mom. I don't lie. read more

Dave was very quick to respond to my request for quote. Gave me a good price and came out 2 days later and quickly did the job I needed. Would definitely use him again. Very nice guy too!! read more

This company is great. I made an appointment for an electronically issue I was having with two outlets. Dave responded quickly to my yelp request and made an appointment for 12/31. On 12/30 he called and said he could come stop by within 30 minutes. He stopped by and fixed my issue within 30 minutes. He walked me through some electrical basics and was very professional. If there was a way to give him more than 4 stars I would. read more

Dave responds promptly to queries, his quotes are reasonable, he is extremely knowledgeable and takes pride in his job. He has installed recessed lighting for me and has also added a 240v outlet in the garage for car charging. Both jobs were done with utmost care and came out really well. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dave for anything electrical. He's a pleasure to work with. read more

Dave is awesome. So glad we called him. Would definitely recommend him to anybody. Now we have a go to electrician!

Dave installed our Ring flood light...and did some minor repair to one of our electrical outlet. He completed the install in a timely fashion and was very professional. I will definitely contact him for my next project. read more

As in the title of this company, this was the ABSOLUTE best service, craftsmanship, and electrical work I have ever had done on my house. Thank you so much Dave!! read more

Dave is awesome! He installed our egress exit signs at our preschool in Tracy (Little Investigators Preschool ) & we were quite impressed with our entire experience. He got us our proposal the same day he came out for the walk through, he scheduled with us within a few days, and was on time for our install! If/when we need an electrician in the future, he will be our guy! Thanks Dave! read more

I prospected a few electricians and proposals didn't have huge variations but Dave stood out in his holistic and professional approach. We talked over options and a couple days later received the quote and scheduled the work. He arrived on time, finished on schedule and did an outstanding job. Our home is older but he did a great job of working with the idiosyncrasies you'd expect of a dated place. Also loved that he kept the area clean and made it a priority to communicate with me at every meaningful step. Recessed Lighting makes our place much more inviting now. read more

We just had Absolute Electric upgrade the electrical circuits in my mother's greater than 40 year-old home in Hayward. Dave, the owner and his team were very professional, competitive with their prices, and took the time to explain everything that would be needed to bring her home up to code. He was very knowledgable, organized, and consistently came when he said they would. He answered all of our questions competently, clearly explaining the rationale for the work that was needed, the pricing and any options. I never felt that he was pressuring us into adding any extras, but explained the issue and let us make the decision to move forward with the fixes that would bring the house to code safely. He was flexible, and took on additional jobs, such as switching out a chandelier, for a fair price. He documented all of his work clearly and cleaned up after himself. I was so impressed that I want to hire him to upgrade the electrical in my Fremont home! Highly recommend. read more

I absolutely recommend Absolute Electric! I've really appreciated their quick response time and their advanced trouble-shooting skills on more than one occasion. They even offered an after-hours rush service at a very reasonable rate when I couldn't get power to my furnace one night. read more

I attempted a DIY project in an older house, and I failed. Called Absolute Electric and Dave promptly called me back. He was extremely flexible working with my schedule. Dave came out and did a great job of troubleshooting my "handy work". It was fixed professionally and quickly, and he explained why he was doing certain things. He was upfront about his rates, and no surprise charges. On top of that, Dave is extremely personable and an all around nice guy. Highly recommended, will call again if the need arises. Thanks Dave, much appreciated! read more

I called Dave their owner to ask him to come out and check my alarm system as it was going off every time I would plug in a light for my sons science project in the same room. He was very honest and told me that it was my wired smoke detector that needed to be replaced and that it wasn't a short. I was insistent that it was a short but he explained confidently that it was the smoke alarm. If you want to use a company thats owner will tell the truth even when it will cost money by missing out on a potential call pick this company! Oh and by the way he was right, was the alarm. read more

My kitchen outlets, fridge, and furnace went out while cooking dinner last night. Too many appliances running at the same time, maybe? I tried everything I could think of, flipping all the switches in the circuit breaker panel, pressing the "reset" button on my outlets. No effect, so I called Absolute Electric. Dave at Absolute Electric was great. Over the phone, he had me try a couple things to see if he could save me the visit. When those didn't work, he was at the house within 20 minutes. He quickly diagnosed the problem, and had the proper equipment in his truck to fix the problem. He was finished within an hour. read more

Absolute Electric was absolutely fantastic. Services were fairly priced and very well done. Super polite and very informative. Would recommend this company to anybody in need of electrical work. read more

As a REALTOR: Dave was very helpful and helped me get answers the answers I needed for my client's questions, following a property inspection report. I greatly appreciated his speed and thoroughness. read more

A true professional. Called back when I left message. Provides quote with no gimmicks. Would highly recommend.

Called Dave out for an estimate to install an electrical panel for my workshop. Although I have not seen the estimate yet, I am very impressed with the way Dave handles himself knowing that I plan on doing most of the work to save a little money. He never let it bother him as he won't be making as much as if he does the whole job. He stated that he will separate the estimates based on what I plan to do and if he was to do them. I see a lot of contractors that get upset when a homeowner wants to do most of the work, but calls them out to pick their brain. He did not get upset, but continued Business as usual and I really appreciated that. I will decide in a couple of days whether or not to use him but, I will definitely recommend him to anybody that asks. If I decide to use him, I will write another review based on the actual work read more

Dave was super helpful in helping us prioritize things that needed to get done. He was very thorough and patient in explaining things, and also pointed me to the website that helped explain terms in more detail as well. On the initial quote day and the day he came by to do the actual work, he was extremely punctual, which is pretty rare to find - everyone else seems to run behind schedule or provide vague windows of time. Highly recommend Absolute Electric and working with Dave - you won't regret it. read more

Dave did a great job. I had two problems. First a short in the house which darkened a room. Second, I had bad wiring in the attic which was done by the previous owner. Dave found and fixed the short very quickly. Second, he worked his butt off in the attic fixing a number of issues. I really struggled finding an electrician. I couldn't be more satisfied with Dave and Absolute Electric. I'd recommend him for his hard work, good prices, and great attitude. Thanks Dave! read more

I was VERY pleased with the work that David at Absolute Electric 510-501-3818 preformed. I found David when I was searching the Internet for an electrician to do some electrical work for my business, replacing ballasts in 20 lighting fixtures. All the reviews that I found stated that he was reasonably priced and very professional. I contacted him and received a quote for performing the electrical and found that his prices were very reasonable and that, like the other reviews, was very courteous. Other companies I contacted wanted me to clear out our manufacturing area, so that they could bring in a scissor lift to access the lights and David said that he could do it without having to disturb our operations and that he can access them on a ladder, without moving anything! He was here, along with another person, the day we contracted him for and not only took care of our ballasts, but rewired several of our emergency lights so that they worked properly without charging anything extra. He did such a great job for me at my business that I talked to him about doing some work at my home. I don't like to have strangers in my home, but I really felt comfortable with them and David's ethics of doing what is needed and not overcharging because he can, that I will be having them add a sub panel and rewire several circuits. I would highly recommend David and his employees to do any work you need for your business or your home. read more

Made the call and spoke to the owner Dave. Very friendly and gave a competitive and accurate estimate. No bs or tap dancing. Honest and upfront. He and his installer Casey gave extremely fast service that day and worked around my schedule. I am pleased with his service and will have him do future electrical jobs. Highly recommend. read more

On time Excellent service Professional Dependable High quality work Great response I got an electric outlet installed for my Tesla and also he helped us to install some outlets. I strongly recommend him read more

Service was FAST, ON TIME, explained the work comprehensively and was just plain nice! Thank you.

My wife and I were talking the other day, and mentioned Absolute Electric for their good work. She asked me if I had written a review and I thought I had, but it turns out I hadn't. Anyways, as you can tell from my rating of Dave and Absolute Electric, we were impressed with this company. We had another contractor install lighting in our kitchen, and due to other problems we had, decided we needed another set of eyes to look over their work. I found Absolute on Yelp and called. Dave came over and showed me what was done wrong and explained the fire hazards they created. Needless to say I hired Dave to fix the problems and the difference was night and day (no pun intended). The wiring was neat and up to code, and we have had no problems whatsoever the past 2 years. (PS. I took the money I had to pay Dave out of the final payment to the other contractor). About a year later the company where I work needed some electrical work done and I thought of Absolute. Dave came out and completed the work professionally once more. A few employees commented that they liked him and his work. Again, the problems that previously existed are gone and everything looks neat. Thanks Dave! Sorry I took so long to write this. read more

These guys were easy to deal with. Came when they said, told me upfront that troubleshooting might take a while so offered a less expensive fix,they really knew their stuff. Gave a complete write-up so that I could purchase replacement fixtures and went to alot of trouble to replace all the light fixtures that were hard to reach. read more

Great experience working with Dave of Absolute Electric. Dave is prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and affordable. I had a small issue with my kitchen florescent light and while he was here, I asked him about doing some additional work. After his investigation of my electrical system, we determined that I needed some upgrades to bring my aging system up to code, but never with any pressure to do the work. Dave installed all new plugs and switches for my entire townhouse as well as doing some additional safety upgrades. Besides being an extremely competent electrician, Dave is a very nice guy and I highly recommend using Absolute Electric for any of your electrical needs. 'Will definitely call again if needed. read more

I had a couple of fans to be installed, Dave quoted me a great price over the phone and then came over and did a very professional job. I would highly recommend Absolute Electric to everyone needing electrical work done. read more

Dave is totally awesome! We hired Dave to add a dedicated circuit for our heater. He showed up on time for the job and was very easy to work with. David was very professional and he even helped me to troubleshoot and fix other electrical issues in my house. I would highly recommend Dave to everyone. I'm 100% sure that he will get the job done right at a very fair price!!! read more

These guys are great! On time, honest, fair prices, friendly. They have been to my home twice and I have been very pleased with their work. Will continue to call on them and refer them to my friends. read more

I've used Absolute Electric four times since Sept. 2009, and Dave, the owner, always does a great job! His prices are fair and very reasonable compared to other electricians in the area. I shopped around before finding Dave and I haven't used another electrician since we found him. Anything comes up and I just call Dave! I highly recommend him! read more

We hired Dave to do some electrical work on a wall where we wanted to put up a TV. He was very professional, came out right away, assessed the job and was very prompt with finishing it. We had him come out one other time to take a look at our electrical box which he tells us probably needs to be replaced. We appreciate that he didn't just try to make us do it now since it's not an urgent problem. Other electricians just want to make money and would try to sell you on something even if it's not totally necessary. Dave is friendly as well, always returns phone calls promptly and is a pleasure to work with. read more

We wish it was possible to give Dave and Absolute Electric Ten Stars. We live in Redwood City and decided to contact Absolute Electric although the firm is located in Fremont and we are so glad. Dave arrived on time, analyized the situation, made a reasonable estimate, performed the work in a neat and professional manner, and the communication was great. Dave exceeded all our expectations and we highly recommend Absolute Electric. If you are searching for a trustworthy electrician who knows the trade, you will not be disappointed. read more

Absolute does great work, the are also very professional and are a great value. I recommend them for all of your electrical needs. The owner is very nice and he has an apprentice that is great as well. read more

I was able to schedule Absolute on short notice to fix some office lighting issues. Absolute was upfront with their cost and kept me informed through their troubleshooting process. In the end everything was fixed efficiently, professionally and for a fair price. read more

PG&E pointed out we nearly had a broken stud in our main panel. I had never used Absolute or any electrician before. I got a decent first quote from a recommended place, then a quote for $1500 more from another company with big ad in our yellow pages. Absolute Electric was the 3rd place I called. Dave sounded very knowledgable on the phone and asked me to text over a pic of the damaged stud. His same day estimate was very good and he was available. Dave explained what was going to happen during the job and kept us informed. They completed the prep work as said, and showed up on time the day of the big job that required coordination with PG&E. They did a great job and everything has worked fine for over a year now. We had Dave for another job to wire in a 20A dedicated circuit and that was good as well. So, his prices are fair, he's a cool guy, very experienced and most of all, does good quality, up to code electrical work. read more
