We got to know about JMK through houzz and I don't have words to express about their job, quote and how flexible both Danella and Jay were. I personally loved the way they talk to you how they give you insight about their work explain you every bit of question that you and them. They won't just do the work they promised you if you are interested in knowing how things works they educate you not every body does that. Jay : on time, great ideas, he knows his job. Danella: very good in giving you suggestions, options and co ordination whole work. Both of them together just makes things happen. About their employees : they are simply awesome lovely people. I love it when people come to work is not only working but enjoy what they do. We had 3 of their employees worked 1.5 days and got my whole house changed contacts that they have are lovely. We got some dry wall work done through their contact and he was perfect on what he does. Over all I have no words to express how good this whole experience was . I started missing those guys who worked here and also little off of missing Jay and Danella till my next project kicks in. Even during the final inspection with city Jay was on time I'm shocked he was there till the city inspection was done and he did all that needed for approval .

Ervin was incredibly friendly, honest, responsible and hard working. No surprises or delays during the project, including permits, which he entirely took care of. Very responsive, and he always went the extra mile to explain what he was doing and why. He gave me well informed options, and ideas for future proofing. I even remember him casually explaining how a GFCI works while I was watching him work. A few months after the work was done, I noticed one of the breakers would easily trip. I messaged Ervin to see if he could help me diagnose it, but he insisted on coming to replace it. And then he didn't want to charge me for the visit. Absolutely fantastic, can't recommend enough!

We recently bought a new house and needed some electrical work done including installing a Tesla…read morecharger, adding recessed lights, upgrading our electrical panel, rewiring knob and tube wires, and adding in ethernet wiring. I did some Yelp bidding and Victor was pretty responsive and came out to our place for an estimate. He seemed pretty knowledgeable about code requirements and pointing out some things we should update and what things seemed fine to leave alone. After chatting with some other electricians Victor's rates seemed reasonable so we went with him. Victor and his team were prompt to work with us and fit us in between various projects. It still did take a few weeks to finish everything between waiting around for permit and PG&E inspections. However Reliable Electric coordinated all the logistics for those matters and would update us as things got scheduled. Our original scope of work was upgrading the panel, installing the Tesla charger, and adding recessed lights. Since we didn't have a big attic or a crawl space, they had to open up some of our walls to do the work. That's when we discovered that there were still knob and tube wiring in some parts of our house (was built in 1953). He recommended rewiring since that would work better with our new lighting and it would make things safer. While we had the walls open we decided to run some ethernet cables to different rooms for convenience. We discovered a breaker not working during the first week after we moved in but Victor was quick to come out and replaced it free of charge. He also did a few other gratis things for us like securing the outside wiring around the house and replacing some old switch boxes. A few months after moving in, some of the outlets in our house stopped working. Victor came out in a timely manner to look at the issue. He was thorough in testing out the breakers and the problematic outlets. Turns out it was a loose neutral wire in another outlet. It was promptly fixed and everything seems to be working again. Since this was our first home purchase and contractor project, here are some things I learned: -Reliable Electric does not patch walls. Since they had to open the walls for rewiring, we had to also find someone to do drywall patching. For future projects I will ask contractors what are some items that their scope of work will not cover. -While it was easy to coordinate with Reliable Electric directly, it may still be beneficial to work with a general contractor if you have a bigger project. We were doing other updates around the house (painting, flooring) and I felt like I had a second job coordinating everyone. -For future projects I will research and buy the materials myself to save on some costs. We've been in our new house for a few months now and are enjoying our updated electrical work!

Overall Reliable Electric was fantastic to work with, has reasonable pricing, and provides high quality work. Would highly recommend others give Victor a call!

***UPDATE*** So a few months after I'd left the messages and…read morewrote the 1-star review, Steve called me. He apologized and explained that he'd been dealing with some family issues. He had also let go one of the workers who had done my electrical. After making an appointment to come out the following week, I sent him my list of things that needed to be fixed, detailed in my original review. As promised, Chris came out on Monday. He was on time--even early--friendly and courteous. Chris made some recommendations on how to fix some of the problems, did the work, and also saved the day with some quick thinking. He also changed out a motion detector switch to a regular one even though it was out of scope. Steve himself came out and we smoothed things over. I was happy to have the work completed quickly and even talked to him about coming back to install a new light over my dining table. Although I would have preferred the work had been done properly originally, Steve takes pride in his work and I know he felt bad that there had been issues. I understand when family matters come up, and I told him as much. However, I do think he should have left an outgoing voice message explaining that he was taking time off and would not be returning calls for an extended amount of time. I was actually about to hire another electrician to fix all the problems, so I would been pretty upset if I had done so only to have Steve contact me afterward. ***ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW*** My initial experience with Steve and John, who were recommended by my contractor, was good. However, I've now left two messages this year for Steve asking him to come back and fix small issues that came up within weeks of my moving back into my remodeled home: canned light went out, dimmer makes a buzzing noise, smoke alarm fell off my master bedroom ceiling. And the big one: fans in both baths come on when heat/air does and not necessarily when they should. I.e., when I'm showering and the bathroom steams up. I'm sure all of these problems are easy to fix, so I'm frustrated that I've left two very polite messages (one on Steve's cell phone; one at the shop) and still haven't received a call back in over two weeks. I spent more than $10k with Southwest and thought Steve and John were very professional and helpful during the remodel. I think it's very unprofessional now for Steve to not follow up on these issues that I've documented through date-stamped photos. I think it's interesting that the majority of these 5-star reviews for Southwest are from people who don't write many reviews. This can be a sign of business owners asking for favorable reviews in return for providing a discount. If you're researching electricians or any other businesses on Yelp, I recommend doing your homework. Just because the business has 5-star reviews does not mean they truly are a 5-star business.

I found Mark and Zeros Electrical here on Yelp and began an evening online conversation with Mark,…read morewho was super accommodating and offered screen shots of suggested products. I had planned to purchase some lights from Amazon and to hire an electrician to install them. Mark was able to send his crew to us before Amazon could get the parts to me, so Mark arranged to pick up the lighting parts at Home Depot before coming out to our place. Team of two arrived (wearing masks and booties) and set right to work to retrofit four under-cabinet fluorescent lights with new LED lighting in our kitchen. I was working from home and on a call, but they didn't need any direction from me. I sat across the room from them (COVID-19 socially distanced), on my call, and watched them work. About forty minutes later, they had the four old lights out and the new lights shining. I wasn't even done with my work meeting, and they were all cleaned up and gone! They even took the old parts with them. While I found their pricing to be higher than some of the other estimates I received, I believe that Mark's time spent with me online before, and his crew's prompt, professional, and totally un-disruptive work was worth the price we paid. I will hire them again and am delighted to recommend them to you here.
