I can't say enough good things about Dan and the team at Charles Electric. From the very beginning,…read moreDan went completely above and beyond to help me with my generator problems. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but he genuinely cared about making sure I wasn't left without power while my generator was being repaired. What really impressed me was that Dan provided me with a loaner generator at no charge while mine was being fixed -- something he absolutely didn't have to do. Even more amazing, he ended up not charging me for anything at all. In today's world, that kind of honesty, generosity, and customer service is almost unheard of. It showed me that he truly cares about helping people and standing behind his work rather than just making money. Throughout the entire process, communication was excellent, the turnaround was fast, and I truly felt taken care of the entire time. You can tell Dan takes a tremendous amount of pride in his work and values long-term customer relationships built on trust and integrity. If you need generator repair, electrical work, or a company you can genuinely trust, I highly recommend Charles Electric. Businesses and people like Dan are rare these days, and they absolutely deserve the recognition and support.

Dan and team came out on New Years eve to trouble shoot the electrical system. He determined that the circuit board was also burned out.

He was happy to come out and do the small job and was free with his knowledge to improve my troubleshooting and repairs. I would not hesitate to call them for any electrical issues in the future. Personable, prompt, and honest. What more can you ask for?

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!

I got a call from my tenant that the electricity in the house was only working in half of the house. I walked them through the steps to reset the circuit breakers but nothing seemed to help. It was late on a Saturday night and I called APEX Electric based on their Yelp reviews. They said they were finishing up a job but could be at the house within an hour. They called 45 minutes later and had already figured out the problem. They said the conduit providing power to the house had corroded (salty air in Pacifica). They had already put in a call to PG&E for us and PG&E repaired the electrical problem two hour later. They were prompt, efficient and professional. Thank you Apex Electric!

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.

Had a positive experience with Max Electric and everything went smoothly. Both the initial…read moreinspection (unfortunately didn't get the name of who did it) and the actual work were great. Rigo did a great job with the 3 things I had done: replacing an electrical panel, replacing 2 light fixtures, and installing a smoke alarm. He was on time, knowledgable, and efficient. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest option around but with something like this, quality and experience matters and they did a great job and handle permits and such. They did exactly what I asked them to do and were responsive over email and able to ask the exact questions they needed which made things seamless. This is not necessarily a bad thing but they could have probably done some kind of "walk through" around the place and found some additional work for me. Upselling is obviously not always a great practice but in my case, there were some things that I wish I had done and I think they could have suggested them and left it up to me to say yes/no to during the initial inspection. For example my kitchen could definitely use at least 1 additional outlet, I should have probably replaced a 3rd light, and so on. I do respect that they don't try to take you on a ride but since it is probably efficient to do things all at once, may have been helpful to discuss (this was also my bad for not noticing these things before). Rigo did a bunch of smaller things that made a big difference too like taking out the packaging for the lights and the old ones as well as the old electrical panel, clearly labeling all the switches very neatly which was not well done before, answering my questions and explaining things in a way that I (someone with little knowledge about most of this stuff) would understand.

We hired Max Electric for a full knob-and-tube rewire on our home, along with several other…read moreelectrical projects, and the experience was excellent from start to finish! The project did take longer than initially expected due to delays outside of their control, but the quality of the work never wavered. From the beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. They explained what needed to be done, why it mattered, and what to expect at each step, which made a potentially stressful process feel very manageable. Raushan, the project manager, was great to work with and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was responsive, organized, and always made sure we were informed and comfortable with the plan. Alex, one of the technicians, worked incredibly hard during the rewire and clearly took pride in his work. Bek, another technician, truly went above and beyond - paying close attention to the details and making sure everything was done perfectly, not just "good enough." Beyond the rewire, they handled multiple additional electrical upgrades and fixes around the house, all done cleanly and correctly. What really stood out was trust. Having a crew in your home for a major electrical project isn't easy, but we always felt confident that they had our best interests in mind. No corner-cutting, no unnecessary upsells, just solid, high-quality work. The crew was respectful, showed up when they said they would, and stayed focused until the job was fully complete. I highly recommend Max Electric and would absolutely hire them again!

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.
