I had a great experience with Clever Electric. I was looking to install a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery backup to complement by existing solar panels. I went to the Tesla site and found out that Clever Electric is a certified Tesla Installer. I connected with Clever (My Ngo) and a few other Tesla certified installers. I received a really good quote immediately from My. He also offered that if I took care of the permits, I could get a further reduction. Since his quote was already a couple of thousand less that the Tesla installation cost even with the permit, I decided to go ahead with him. I also realized that I could get a further $500 Tesla rebate if I could get the installation done in two and half weeks. I immediately connected with My on Sunday when I realized this and he picked up my call and assured me that he would help me as much as he can to get the installation done on time. I then proceeded to order the Tesla Powerwall 2. My came by my house and took a look at the installation. He then realized that he needed to do a lot more work than anticipated. He was very apologetic. I decided to do the permits myself. Within a week, I got the Powerwall 2. I filled in the paperwork for the permits - My helped me quite a bit there. And I was able to get the permit by mid next week. I connected with My for installation. He was very surprised that this got done so quickly. He was able to free up time for me right away. He and his helper spent 3.5 days installing it. The additional work was really substantial because he had to move a large number of circuits from one side of the house to another - going through the sub-floor, attic etc. He did an absolutely amazing job - he was very meticulous. He used absolutely high quality materials. The inspector came and unfortunately because of my misunderstanding, the battery needed to be moved about 12 inches. Note the battery is very heavy and difficult to move. My was very supportive. He came again the following Saturday with two helpers because of the weight of the battery. And they moved it by a foot. This took the better part of the morning. Finally he was there for the final inspection and made sure that the inspection went well. My was extremely supportive throughout this whole experience. His work has been of very high quality and is very conscientious. He did an excellent job with Tesla Powerwall 2 installation. He did not cut any corners even though the job was much much more than anticipated - I realized that based on the amount of time that My and his helpers spent on the job. He never once complained about the unexpected extra work. I would highly recommend My, he is very decent, dedicated person. read more

I had an old light switch in the kitchen that never was replaced. It was the original one. It finally needed replacing after 30 years. The owner of Clever Electric came and he worked on it quickly. He finished replacing the light switch under 15 minutes. He was pretty skilled in his craft. I will use him again when I have a need to fix/replace other electrical outlets and switches. read more

I hired Clever Electric to install a Tesla Wall Connector for my wife's Model 3. His team arrived on time, analyzed the capacity of my panel and did quick work of the installation. His prices are so much more affordable vs. what Tesla's approved vendors were charging. I'm satisfied with the installation and pricing. Call the other guys and also get a quote from Clever Electric and you will see the difference. It's night and day. read more

What I needed done: My son's room has a stupid fluorescent lighting ballast hanging on the ceiling for lighting and I hate it. The cord runs down the wall and INTO the socket where I can't get to it (as it's electrical and will kill me). I also need that outlet to be always on instead of switched and the lighting to run directly from the switch. Called Clever Electric last Thursday. We set up a date for Tuesday. He arrived at around 8:10 a.m., looked at the room and went to work. He and another electrician had the job done in LESS THAN AN HOUR. The good news? They didn't even have to turn off the electricity in the house to do it! Good work. Great price. They put plastic sheets down over all of my son's stuff before working, cleaned up after themselves and generally left the house nicer than it had been before they got there. I am hiring them back to do all of the other rooms in my house. I highly, highly recommend them! read more

I needed to change the outlet of my condo from 110 to 220 and they did a good job. I will definitely recommend Clever Electric.

My and his crew are great. I'm afraid with all these great reviews, he might get too busy, but I have o share. He did a bunch of work at my house including a 200amp panel upgrade and 2 bathroom fan installs w/ timers. He took care of all the inspections and everything passed with any issues. He arrives early and always cleans up a the end of the day. I would hesitate to recommend Clever Electric to anyone. read more

Great Electrician! After getting few bids, I decided to try this company after I saw a review for a Eichler panel upgrade. Pricing was fair than most of the other bids I got. Job schedule was flexible and they were able to upgrade my Eichler panel to 200amp at the same location where the old panel was with minimum downtime. (No overnight without power). The job was clean and passed inspection on the first time. (^_^) If you are looking to get your Eichler power panel upgraded, make sure you talk to these guys! read more

I was referred to Clever Electric, in particular My, by my colleagues at Google. After working with My and seeing his work, I highly recommend My and Clever Electric. His work ethic, level of professionalism and going out of this way to do extra things that will be appreciated in future are clear data points that, by far My is one of the best contractors I have ever worked with. All his staff are absolutely wonderful. They truly think of the customer first. I had a big job, replacing all aluminum wiring in San jose, and there were challenges. My and his team did an absolutely fantastic work and would definitely recommend him for a promotion if he was a co worker. read more

My and his team are really nice and efficient. I really appreciate their quick response time and service. Since we've moved into our 1980s home, we've been working hard to bring it to the times with our SmartThings. When one of our smart switches wasn't working in the hallway, My came quickly and found the problem. We also hired him to install a NEMA outlet for us and he was able to give us a competitive rate for it as well. While he was here for the NEMA outlet, I asked him about my garbage disposal outlet in the kitchen, and he was able to find out what was wrong with it and fix it for me. Honestly, his team is great and I know he will be the only electrician we will be using for now on! read more

I've used My and his team twice in the last 18 months. They installed our security cameras, our security lights and several interior lights. My is really easy going and I've always felt comfortable around him and his crew. When I informed My today that his guy hadn't yet shown, he ended up driving over to make sure I was taken care of. Minh came today, and despite him being a little late, he's a nice guy and did a good job. Between the two of them making up for lost time, I was happy. I will continue to use My and his team in the future. read more

Amazing work done by clever electric. Neat and attention to detail. Crew members are friendly and listen to customers for before installing lights. We got installed the 16 recess lights and 2 pendants in 8 hours. I highly recommend clever electric. Superb work! read more

I hired Clever Electric to do the electrical work for my entire house that I'm remodeling. It's a huge project and since my house is about 100 years old, you can imagine how dated the electrical was. First of all, I chose Clever Electric because My submitted the most thorough and detailed estimate. Each item was very specific with its cost individually. They spent over 2 weeks at my house cutting through drywall and putting in new wiring. They always cleaned up their mess and hauled their garbage away. The workmanship from My and his crew is fantastic. They really pay close attention to detail and best of all, they listen to their clients and want to do exactly what makes the homeowner happy. My is willing to do the extra work and not take any short cuts. He even recommended for me to add on more switches/outlets at no additional charge. His price is very fair but most of all, he's honest. My and his crew will be back at my house to do all the finishings. I'm sure after they're done, I will be extremely happy with my home. If you're looking for an honest and reliable electrician, Clever Electric is the one. Very highly recommended. read more

I called Clever Electric yesterday to inquire about some electrical work needed. The first thing he said was "it will cost you $129 for me to come out and look" in a not so nice manner. He probably was on the job or in a bad mood but if you can't answer the phone in a nice way then don't answer. If he had said it to me in a nice professional manner and said that would go towards the whole bill I would have considered hiring him since they have such great reviews. Not now. read more

My and his crew are great. We had all new lighting installed in our home. The the work was done in a timely manner, accurately and cleanly. My listens what your ideas are and makes it happen. I highly recommend Clever Electric. read more

Clever Electric removed old florescent tubing, closed up the ceiling indentation and installed 7 LED recessed lighting fixtures. You can barely see the difference between the old ceiling, paint and texture and the replaced ceiling, paint and texture. Mike gave good recommendations for the kind of work that needed to be done and his crew did a great job. Minimal dust and noise. Took About 8 hours. I'm very happy with the work. read more

I had Clever Electric ground my entire house (small 3 bed 2 bath), replace the electrical panel, and install recessed lighting in the living room. They sent a 3 man crew up to El Cerrito (1 hour drive), arrived at 8:00am on Saturday morning, and finished at 6:00pm the same day. Clever Electric is licensed and insured, and would have done the work with a permit for a few hundred dollars if I had chosen that. The price was very reasonable, and the crew was professional, quick, and polite. They were also very responsive by email and phone. read more

Clever Electric and My Ngo did an excellent job on our house rewire providing both high quality and a low price. What was most impressive and very much appreciated was that My worked closely with us to confirm along the way adjustments and options for where outlets and switches could be placed to meet the code yet minimize the need to open up the walls. When placing a 3-way switch where we wanted it meant tearing open a wall, My suggested another location that ended up working just as well. He and his team worked diligently and neatly. My also made sure the permits were obtained and the city inspection completed as needed. He even added extras such as a light in the attic and a timer on the bathroom fan. read more

My was excellent in his communication and service. I have him removed the existing fluorescent light fixture and installed a new flush-mount ceiling light. He re-assembled the removed fluorescent fixture and put this at the side. And tidied up the new ceiling light box and offered to sweep the floor when the job was done. In addition he patched up the holes used for the fluorescent fixture. Overall, I will get him again if I need any electrical work or projects to be done. read more

This is way overdue and I should have written this earlier. These guys are professional and return the calls immediately and even text you before they come onsite. The work performed is professional and he cleans up before leaving. I am very impressed. I had them add a 240 in the kitchen and also added a 20amp 240 plug for my electric car. The price was very reasonable but best of all, he returns the call immediately, comes right on time or will notify you if there is any delay and does a clean professional job. I rarely find a contractor that I can truly praise but these guys get my vote. read more

My and his team are very professional and efficient execution. I had rewiring done for my entire home, new panel, adding new power outlets in kitchen, outdoor and several rooms, add grounding to all outlets in home and also fixed some wiring issues in two way switch in attic. They cleaned up place every day after work and I did not have to move out during entire work as they provided temporary power to refrigerator and important areas. I would recommend my and his team for all electrical work. read more

I have been remodeling 3 houses over the last year. I was a former contractor so I am pretty knowledgeable. Clever Electric is outstanding. My (owners name) and his team are fast and professional. I have now used them for 3 major projects. Two whole house re-wires and some work at my house. I was shocked at how expertly they were able to re-wire houses with minimal damage to walls. My is very professional, fast and responsive. His prices are outstanding. I have dealt with many electricans (bids and work done over the years) and I can tell you that Clever is top notch and they are now my go to team for all electrical needs. read more

We used them many months ago to replace all our smoke-alarms etc. My Ngo was on-time, thorough and did an outstanding job. Two thumbs up and five-stars! We know who we will call when if we ever have any electrical issues. read more

Was able to convert my conventional tube lights to led after my handyman couldn't do it. Great service and keeps his word.

My is the best. Honest. Fair. Don't even bother calling anyone else now that I know My. He has done all the remodel work for me.

My Ngo did a great job installing a 220v charger for my electric car. No only did he install the charger, he also installed a rack to hold the charger hose when it wasn't in use. read more

I wanted to get my home wired for internet access as I was not getting the bandwidth I need using WiFi. I called a few folks to get estimates and found that Clever Electric was very reasonable. I spoke with My and he was very knowledgeable of what I was looking for and gave a price based on what I told him. I followed with an e-mail to confirm the work order and date and time. My was very responsive and confirmed over e-mail. My and his co-worker came on time, which is very rare with contractors and handymen and got down to business. My was very flexible and gave me different options on how he can setup the enclosure and the patch panel. He did a great job that was clean and professional and finished the job on time. If you know exactly what you want and tell My in advance, he will provide the quote and do what he promised. He is willing to work with you and get the job done and does not try to trick you into spending more or change the price once he is on the job. I am very happy with the work that My did for me. read more
