Great help. Timely arrival. Responsive and a good problem solver. Very pleased with the work and his anticipation for future problems.

I was having a major problem with about six or seven of my outlets not working. I was able to get one of Chico electrics excellent experienced very polite technicians here and within a short time he had it all figured out and repaired. He was calm and polite and explained what he was doing. Everything works great now. They were here within one day and got all of my electronics working once again. I highly recommend this company for their quality and value. read more

Our power was out for five days and Brant! was nothing but helpful and kind. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was tended for. His communication was excellent and made sure to let us know when he was coming. 10/10! Thank you Brant! read more

1 1/2 years ago I called Chico Electric to perform several electrical repairs. This morning the electrical plug they replaced stopped working. Obviously the plug is faulty because plugs should last an average of 20 years. I called Chico Electric to ask if they warranty their products, and they said they warranty for only one year, which is ridiculous. I will never use Chico Electric again. read more

Excellent service. Able to come to the house much sooner than I had anticipated. Service rep was exactly on time. Very polite and professional and took care of the issue quickly. We are VERY pleased and highly satisfied with the service and professionalism of Chico Electric. Price was also less than anticipated. Will definitely recommend to others without reservation. read more

Only initially called them because I was referred to them by a different company. They came out, did their thing, charged us the fees, and it was fine the first few times for the easy fixes throughout the years. Recently had bigger issues, but the company had an interesting way of being indirect with not wanting to service the issue. I'd much rather someone tell me they don't want to help me rather than make me jump through hoops by scheduling appointments, waiting for a nonexistent electrician to show up to fix the issue, and then having the following appointments canceled by using any excuse in their handbook to do so. Sadly, I didn't catch the hint til much later. 1 star for the electricians who seemed to know what they were doing and were polite on the job. The not-so-lovely lady who was behind the calls could make this experience better by being more direct and not wasting my time. read more

Hired them to come out and put in motion sensor under cabinet lights. They installed them and they've never worked properly! Called them twice, the electrician came back out to look at it and said, "sorry, there's nothing I can do." Then their office staff said "He's our best electrician. There's nothing we can do" They told me I could buy a different fixture and have it installed(at my expense). They still kept sending their bill without making it right and fixing it. Then sent it to collections! Really disappointing customer service, seems like they couldn't care less! read more

When our smoke alarm suddenly went off for no apparent reason, Chico Electric immediately sent someone out to replace it. He spent time explaining to us how the hard-wired system results in all alarms go off. We then, since our alarms were all ten-years-old, asked for all to be replaced. Again this was done immediately. The electrician explained the value of different systems and how they function. My wife and I recommend this company highly. read more

Talk about a company that nickel and dimes you! Each visit will be no less than $100. We had several electrical outlets and switches replaced and they charged $100 each for them. One switch went out and they charged us an additional $175 to come out and replace. The fact that I've given them almost $4,000 of business I guess that means nothing. I was going to swap out our light fixtures and install can lighting with them (which I could not get an exact quote for) but after all this I will look elsewhere. read more

Called them to add a ground to an un-grounded outlet. After about a month, they sent some guy over (but apparently not to do the work). He looked in the breaker panel. I had to talk him into looking inside the outlet box to see if there was a ground wire already in there (since some older houses had the box grounded instead of the outlet itself). Sure enough, no ground. He advised me we needed to have a ground installed. Duh!! That was the whole purpose of having him come out - we already told this company that. So, they charged us $56 to have this guy confirm what we already told them, and they still did not install the ground. He said it would cost take 4 hours (cost $400) to add a ground wire and that the company would call to schedule. After a month, no call. Time to move on to a reputable company. read more

While the electrical work may be appropriate, we had a very hard time scheduling work to be done that was contracted to be done, getting calls back and getting a proper invoice. On a $5,000 invoice, $2,500 non-itemized supplies. Upon several requests no itemization was provided. Again, the technical work once they show up is fine, project management and accounting is unacceptable. Oh, yeah, and they forgot to bill and remind of payment due but instead transferred it to collections. Unacceptable! read more

These guys are the best...JEFF! So nice, great service, reasonable costs. New recessed accent lighting and new patio fan light. Thank you. read more

They deserve zero stars. This company is so unprofessional! They put a solar panel on the neighbors parcel and didn't realize that it was partly across the property line Hard to believe, but after realizing their mistake they came out to move it back had no respect for the property destroyed. Just ran continuously across the property and destroyed the crop. I called them out two times about compensation for us, and the second time I called them, they apologized that they had not called me back. They then acted like they had forgot. Maybe this is a regular occurrence for them ? How do you forget a call that you did work on the wrong property? Then he said that they are a corporation and they just don't do compensation basically that tells me they don't do service after the job. Word of advice, stay away from this company. They look to be your typical, do the job, take the money, no service for making things right. I wouldn't count on them for any service on products they install. I, Chico Electric, and the neighboring land owner will most likely end up in court in court over this. read more

Had an issue with a loose plug somewhere in the house causing no power in living room, dining room, kitchen & outdoors. Matt with Chico Electric showed up on time and went through plugs in the house to find loose wires. He was professional and tenacious in tracking down loose wires. I highly recommend this business--they got out to our home in one day when others had told us it would be a month before they could come out. Thank you Chico Electric! read more

Many "experts" had told me I can't have a ceiling light in my mobile home bathroom. I asked Chico Electric and they said it's totally doable. Today it was completed and the price was surprisingly affordable! I certainly do recommend them! read more

First, we have always paid them within days of receiving a bill. We had used them for several years. So when we needed some repair work done for flickering lights in our multi-family rental property we called them. Unfortunately, the work was not completed after numerous trips and different technicians. Granted, it is an older system but electricity is electricity. The Service Boss finally came out and told us we needed to do thousands of dollars of trenching and rewiring. We decided to get another opinion. The new electrician found the cause and it turned out to just be a disconnected neutral wire in the main panel. How it got disconnected we don't know. It was just hanging there loose. He reconnected it and the flickering was gone. We sent a letter to the company owner complaining. That was it as far as we knew. We had an emergency the other day and our Manager called them because our usual electrician was out of town. It was just to replace a breaker in one of the panels. They refused to come out and told her we were 86'ed. Lesson, never complain. They probably took what we said as accusatory concerning the loose wire. However, we never went there. Oh well. read more

Where to begin-- They completed the job... but certainly not in the timely manner. I would expect a month or maybe even two (as I was advised by them for the duration of time) but I feel like 5 months is a bit ridiculous - yes it took 5 months. The jobs were completed, as per the initial quote... but only with an extra reminder (and proof of conversation stating initial jobs would be completed) AFTER I was told my job was complete. There was communication... but mainly when I initiated a conversation first -you know, to follow up after a month had passed - and not hardly at all between the person communicating and the person doing the work - these are two separate people. Post consult, my 4 following visits to complete the job, 2 times the installers showed up over an hour+ later than I was told and once a FULL hour earlier (thankfully the installers were pleasant and apologetic for the inconveniences) - the 4th was on time because I was in direct contact with the installer to schedule. Oh yes, when the inspector came to look things over so they could move forward on the job (this would be a 5th visit), I was not given the date by Chico Electric, as I was told I would... That was just a lovely surprise when the inspector showed up (good thing I just happened to be home to open the gate). Bottom line, yes, the job got done ... Just not in the time frame as promised. I've had other projects on hold, that could not be completed until this was done... For 5 months! The frustration dealing with this company assures that I will never hire them again. Good luck to you if you decide to. I suggest you keep all written communication until your job is complete and harness all your inner patience... you will need it! read more

I had part of my kitchen go out and they sent out an electrician who solved the problem quickly and then helped me out with two other issues. My fridGe lost power a couple weeks later during the weekend and when I called they were helpful in suggesting A quick fix to get me to Monday so I wouldn't have to pay the high emergency hours. I really appreciated that they weren't just trying to make the higher wages and instead offered free advice. Efficient, helpful and trustworthy. They have earned my trust and are now my official go to if I have issues in the future. read more

Chico Electric's, Norm, is a wonderful business owner and supportive of his community. My friends love their solar panels. I am excited to use Chico Electric for some electrical work in my home, I have a huge need for updated fans in three rooms and one needs repair asap with this heat wave. Thank you, Chico Electric! Spreading the good word! read more

I requested them to replace two wall outlets inside and one dedicated outlet outside the house and replace a small bathroom fan. PRO The service man was courteous A complaint about the bill was given some credit CON No shoe covers when he came into the house Put outside pug in upside down and had to totally redo but I got charged for the time, Quote price for fan under $100, I was bill at almost double that price Billing did not have itemization for parts In summary, a job that should have cost me about $250 was billed at over $500 and the bill was reduced by $100 only after I questioned it. I think that the billing is slip shod and they just see what you are willing to pay. ADVISE..... Shop around. Demand an quote before you let them in the house. Oh, and please put on shoe covers. read more

Next day service! On time, professional, really nice guy. Explained what he was doing so we understood what was wrong and how he was fixing it. Always nice when professionals take the time to explain their work. Fixed the problem, did some measurements for a follow-up quote and was on his way in no time. Very reasonable prices as well. read more

He took time to explain everything he did and how to work the new electrical panel. I am very happy with their work and Would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for an electrician read more

Chico Electric really saved us! We apparently had some melting internal wires (all we knew is we had a bit of a weird smell and a couple outlets that seemed to be not working). When we called for an appointment they were able to come out within a couple of days. We figured a couple outlets just needed replacement. The electrician realized this was a big job and we were able to get a follow up scheduled, again, within a few days. They were so friendly and truly cared, working well with our busy schedule. And - our house is alive and well!! read more

Greg was friendly, reliable, and knowledgeable. We contacted Chico Electric about an incorrectly wired stove plug and they were able to come out within 2 days of our call. Greg was able to ensure the wiring was up to code and swapped out the incorrect plug for the correct one. read more

This company is a joke! The tech shows up late, finishes early and bills you for hours he didn't even work. When I refused to pay for what they are trying to charge me they threatened to send my bill to collections. After arguing and calling one of the techs out they agreed to change the amount. But c'mon why play games?! Why can't they be professional and honest?! read more

Showed up on time and were very professional. They came out and in no time figured out why part of our house was not getting power. They fixed the problem (at a reasonable price) and gave us a quote to update our 1970's electoral panel that keeps blowing breakers - so to get us set up for solar. Would higher them again. read more

They were prompt and showed up as scheduled. Took a long time on a simple job and their rates are high compared to many of the other electricians around town. read more
