They sent out one of there electricians ( Luis ) who was here in under one hour to look at my service box and checked the breakers and showed me how to correctly reset the double breaker. I found Luis to be very professional and friendly after showing me how to reset I ask how much I own for the service call he said nothing and that if he charged for what he did Mr. Charles wouldn't like it. I found Charles Electric to be a very professional company that I will call and recommend to friends for future electrical needs. David Moore

Yesterday we had the pleasure of having Charles Electric, Dan and his crew, install all in one day,…read moreour new GENERAC WHOLE HOME generator. We called last week to inquire about the process and one week later it is done. Working with Dan and his efficient, expert crew was a dream. They came when they promised, worked expertly and efficiently all the while updating us on their progress. We were prompted to have this done by the predictions of a very strong El Niño this winter. To anyone dreading the same power outages surely to come, we highly recommend DAN and CHARLES ELECTRIC! You will not be disappointed. By far, the finest business we have ever dealt with and that is saying something. Let the storms come! We are ready now!!

I purchased this Louis Poulsen PH 5 pendant a while back but my husband never got to install it. So…read moreI figured to find a professional to help out on this one. Mikhail responded to the project pretty quickly via Yelp and offered to see the situation before giving us a quote on the following day. On the next day, he came over and looked at where we needed to replace the light and gave us a very reasonable quote on the spot. And I agreed to proceed with it and he removed the existing ceiling light with the new pendant light. The whole process, from discussing the quote to he setup to he completed the job (including adjusting the pendant multiple times for me to figure out the most ideal drop of the lamp in our living room) and to pack his stuff, only took 40 minutes! I appreciated his quick turnaround on this! There are always some small projects I want to try doing it myself; but now I know who to reach out if I have a complex one or when I do not know what to do even after watching multiple Youtube videos :)

Unfortunately I discovered I couldn't remove it, so I put out a request for an electrician on Yelp. I received four responses, but Mikhail was the only one who was willing to talk to me over the phone. We set up an appointment the following morning, and he was punctual. Mikhail assessed I have a ballast which required dismantling the fixture and inserting a ballast bypass tube. He did the entire job in about 25 minutes because he bought the necessary 48-inch tube beforehand. He even helped clean my dusty ceiling ventilator. Total cost was $200. I'd definitely recommend him for handy jobs beyond the grasp of an electrical luddite. Yes, I'm talking about me. RELATED - Interested in other services I found on Yelp Project?

I had an issue with my circuit breaker and called Coastside Technical…read more Coastside explained they don't do that kind of work and referred me to Ingraham Electric. Turned out to be my lucky day! Paula at Ingraham listened patiently to my circuit breaker issue and troubleshooted with me. She walked me through trying to reset different outlets and ultimately directed me back to the circuit breaker box and proposed a technique for handling the malfunctioning switch. It worked! She accomplished all this while I performed some bone-headed phone stunts! Paula has the patience of a saint and is obviously very tech-savvy! I would have happily paid for Paula's wonderful service but she insisted no payment was needed. I have a project I need to have tended to and look forward to contracting with Ingraham Electric to perform the work! THANK YOU PAULA!

When we learned very quickly that electricity was something best left to the experts, Felix was our…read morefirst call--and our only call. We had planned to get bids from several electricians, but once we met Felix at Aztec Electric, we stopped searching. Not only was he prompt, honest, and very courteous, he was also extremely professional and great team! Felix was very upfront with project costs and time, and had everything done well ahead of what was promised. Aztec Electric even sent us a thank you note in appreciation for our business. It's really rare to find this level of work ethic (and commitment to a job well done) these days.

We had a 1952 2000 Sq ft single story ranch with aluminum knob and tube. Hugo and Enrique upgraded…read morethe old wire to Romex, replaced all the dated receptacles, and switches, added recessed and art lighting, and rerouted the all the 220 V (baseboard heaters, dryer, car charger, oven) to our 200 amp main panel. He also fixed the kitchen wiring so the breakers no longer trip when we run the microwave. It took about two weeks to do the entire job. First of all, he is the neatest contractor I have ever had in my house. His tools and supples are always neatly tucked away when he leaves the job site. He covers the furniture, and vacuums up with a shop vac after every room was complete. He is very knowledgeable of how houses were made 70 years ago. I expected to have to do major patching and painting, but there were only three small holes during the entire job. Our job was also a mixed space of crawlspace and concrete slab, and he was able to rewire both spaces. His bid was very competitive and he came to the site twice prior to beginning work so that he had a good idea what we wanted. We did change some of the project midstream - we added some fans, and more outlets, so there was a reasonable adjustment to the initial bid, but that was expected. I would use his crew again in a second. I finally have my go to electrician.

He has an eye for aesthetics so gave me great ideas for a polished look for the entire house. He and his crew always arrived on time and whenever they had any questions I received a text to call. Efficient and great work! I asked for a couple of new outlets - one for a toilet that needed heating for the water and one in the closet for a printer. He was able to use existing outlets by just poking a small hole in the wall. This way the outlet is close and I don't have wires all over the floor. When all the electrical was done he walked me through with explanations and to ensure I was happy with the results. I'm happy! And he is a very nice guy. Totally trustworthy.

Jose Ruiz of Ruiz Electric was recommended to me by my contractor who is remodeling my kitchen…read more The entire kitchen needed to be fully rewired with a new electrical panel as the entire kitchen was gutted. Jose Ruiz began work in August 2019 and as of today, February 15, 2020 has not completed the work. Every week I inquired as to when he would be completing the job. Each week I was told that he was very busy and maybe would come next week. Next week would arrive and I was given the same story week after week. I also requested an itemized bill of his work as he progressed on the job so I could make weekly or monthly payments to him. To date I have received no billing or itemized statement of any kind now seven months later. Out, I of absolute frustration I have hired a new electrician. They arrived the following day and have completed the work in two days. Jose Ruiz knows electric & does everything to code but is TOTALLY UNRELIABLE. Save yourself the grief. DO NOT HIRE!!!
