I called Craig yesterday for an electrical problem in my rental unit. He took the time to go over all the possibilities and scheduled service for the next day. He showed up on time and was forthcoming the issue was not as bad as we had thought. He gave me a complete understanding of the repair and peace of mind after the job was complete. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable, trustworthy electrician. read more

We had an issue with our electrical system at 7am on Sunday morning. I searched online and found Craig through Yelp. He was the only electrician out of 5-6 to pick up the phone and was over just two hours later. He fixed what was needed and was in and out quickly. Very nice and accommodating as well - he is who we will go to for any future issues! Thanks, Craig! read more

One of the best experiences I've had with a contractor/electrician ever! Craig and Shane came out within 1 day of calling to take a look at my situation and had me a full estimate in a matter of hours. They got me on the schedule a day later and went above and beyond with the work. They know their stuff and were super professional and meticulous in their work. Highly recommend Core Electric! read more

I had an emergency situation, they were able to send someone right away in less than an hour. Shane came in and troubleshot the issue very quickly, found couple of burnt outlets. He changed the outlets and put in a new breaker, the old breaker had been giving us a lot of issues. Overall, only positive things to say about that and we were so happy that they did a quality job in such short notice. Saved my place from probably burning down! I'd highly recommend them as they didn't try to overcharge me either even knowing that it was an emergency situation and I didn't have much options but to fix it right away. read more

Core Electric - Original outlet that was sparking - Electricians Near Me

I talked to Craig about a wiring problem with my ceiling fan and he immediately came up with a solution that I could perform myself to fix the problem. Craig is a great guy and I highly recommend Core Electric! Thank you, Craig. read more

Craig and Shane were awesome, came out and installed a couple exterior lights, and replaced a ceiling fan in a bedroom. They even cleaned up some wonky wiring that was left over from a hack job a contractor had done a few years back. They left my garage and driveway cleaner than when they got there, so I can't recommend these guys highly enough. read more

Buyer beware , they charge a $500 Troubleshooting fee if they can't find the problem in 15 minutes. This is something that they will not tell you when you call and schedule an appointment. They will spring it on you after you've been waiting three hours for them to arrive at your house. Guess how long it took them to find the problem, 20 minutes... con artists. read more

I called Core Electric about an outdoor outlet that was not working. They came out in approximately 2 to 3 hours and replaced the outlet and made sure the outlet was safe and appropriate. Shane did an excellent job. I would highly recommend this company. They are available 24 hours seven days a week. read more

Craig and his guys were super friendly and professional! They came out quickly and completed the work nicely. I'll definitely use again.

Professional and prompt service. Went above and beyond by coming to the property on a Saturday evening.

Getting an appointment set was difficult initially but when they showed up they did a good job, Shane was great and knowledgeable. I have now paid my bill and have been waiting for a W-9 for a week. After requesting a copy on 4 separate occasions, I was told one would be sent multiple times. Very disappointed as I would have liked to have used this company again. Would be happy to remove this review if I can still get a copy!!! read more

Spoke with Craig who was extremely helpful and friendly. He was able to help me begin locating a part I was looking for for months. 100% a business I will go back to and trust to do what's best for me and my customers. World class read more

Hustlers Charged me $910 for electrical work that I had no choice but to pay. Horrible experience. When they were done, they did not even assemble my electronic areas in my home the way they were before they arrived. They put a show on for you and make it seem like they are doing work until they feel like they've charged you enough money for nothing. Not the type of people you'd want to bring into your home, ever. Business? Maybe a different story if you know electricity. Home? And you know a regular amount about electronics? These people will walk all over you. They took my rent money and I have to work overtime to get it back now. I live in a cheap crowded condominium. Not sure what they saw in me to hustle me like this. During COVID too. Just to waste more time and charge me more they made me rearrange my entire garage and move the washer and dryer around ALL for no reason. The problem was in the kitchen and they only found it upon checking my entire condo for the THIRD time. They ruined the place and left a mess with loose plugs everywhere and dust and dirt and they didn't even bother to even notice that. All they care about is their hourly rate and nickel and diming you. I read verified license and I thought I'd be in good hands. I would rather just call the plumber and let him/her wing it next time. EDIT: Don't tell me this isn't a job done by you. I have my damn receipt. It might not have been you yourself. I love how you don't bother to deny any of my claims at all. At least there's one honest person employed there. Crooks read more

Electricians in general seem to be extremely busy right now. However, Craig from Core Electric took my call personally, and then was able to schedule a free estimate within three hours. He was totally professional, arrived on time and made an honest evaluation of the issues we were trying to resolve, providing the pros and cons for the work we requested. We were forced to go with a different contractor due to a really tight deadline for a follow up project, but we would not hesitate to contact Core Electric in the future. Craig thank you again for your expertise and responsiveness. read more

More honest than all the other electricians on Yelp and home advisor!. A review was read wrong. I meant and it read my description of the people who vandalized my home. Craig did work for me to remedy what this bunch did. He was cool in that he fixed the problem that I described was my concern and had a solution for it based on what I thought was a priority. read more

Let me first say that these guys are amazing at what they do! Last night I had an emergency at my residence at around 8:30 pm. I immediately went to Yelp and searched for emergency electricians. The first company I called did not answer. I then called Core Electric and they immediately answered, listened to my concern and let me know that they were on the way. Within an hour after they arrived they were able to spot the problem and fix it. These guys are so knowledge and I will recommend them to anyone that needs electrical work or is having an electrical emergency! read more

Thank you so much Craig for coming on short notice to replace my ceiling fan... and making it to code fixing what the "handyman" installed previously. I appreciate that you made a point to explain that it's important to install the ceiling fan and installed it professionally. Call Core Electric if you are looking for great work, honest guys and fair professional rates...the job will be done correctly... I really appreciate all the help and referrals to other professional in the construction industry to help with my other repairs...You are a find!!!! read more

This company is a diamond in the rough. Quick return on my call. Friendly, comprehensive, and totally professional business. They listened to my needs, offered alternatives, and never tried to push me into other services. They started same day and tackled stringing wire for two new circuits. They were clean and respectful of my house while quickly completing the work. The wire work was clean and organized and now I have balanced power in an older house. If you need any electrical work done, these are the guys to call first. Great job guys! read more

Craig has been nothing short of amazing. Core Electric is run by some truly wonderful people. Craig was very quick to help answer questions and courteous. Craig is a no BS kind of guy. Someone that just loves his work. He even tried to help me over the phone to see if it would be a problem I can fix on my own. And he did that on his own time! When the fix was more than what i was capable of, he came to the house to fix all my issues and cleaned up like he was never there. Definitely a trustworthy company with very reasonable pricing. Especially with times right now I wouldn't go with anyone else. If you're looking for a solid electrician look no further than Core Electric. read more

Homeowner needed help, and I got it from Craig. Craig's weekend was booked and would not available until Monday. I told Craig my water heater conversion problem from gas to electric he told me to text him if I had any questions during my install and that was on a Sunday. I must have texted him about 20 times, and he did not once ignore or give a condescending remark. Craig checked in on me over the next 24 hours and complemented my handyman skills. We tried to compensate for his time, but he kindly declined. We felt this is the least we could do for him. With his help, we were able to take a hot shower before the weekend's end. We will be calling Craig for all our electrical needs in the future. THANKS, CRAIG!!!! read more

On a Saturday when no one else was open or would return a call Craig showed up and was fast, efficient and receptive. Would definitely use them again and recommend for any electrical work you need, especially in a hurry. read more

Need power? Call CORE! Craig and his team are at the top of my list for dependable, punctual electric service. Up front piercing with no surprises and explanations and suggestions at every turn. I'm very happy to recommend CORE for all your electrical service needs. WHEN YOU CALL- Craig installed 12 outlets in my garage at every location I asked for and even pointed out a few spots I hadn't considered for my garage project. Craig is a very friendly, personable guy (looks like Jeremy Renner's stunt double) with the knowledge and expertise to fix or improve anything electrical that your house may need. Thanks Craig! read more

SDG&E cut my power line after a tree branch fell on the line that runs from the pole to my house. They instructed me that it couldn't be reconnected until I had an electrician out to repair what was damaged. Mind you it was about 1pm so I was stressed about finding someone who was available. Craig at Core came out right away and fixed the problem so I could get reconnected that same day. It was reasonably priced for last minute repair work. He also followed up with me to make sure everything went well with SDG&E. I'll be using Core in the future. read more

Craig and Core Electric were awesome. They were professional and kind. They fixed a blown fuse and added a new outlet and cleaned up some wiring in my garage. A+!! Thanks!! read more

Had a late night emergency at 10pm on a Saturday night when a fuse blew. Tried calling lots of places but Craig was the only one that responded. He came out fast within the hour himself to come fix it. Craig was incredibly nice and professional and got it fixed up lickety split. Really saved me and I highly recommend him and Core Electric. read more

Today (sunday) my apartment had an electrical problem and we urgently needed an electrician. So my landlord called Craig. They work 24 hours, 7 days a week. They came here and solved the problem immediately! They did a wonderful job and now we have electricity again. Their work was worth every money spent. Craig is very honest and charges a price below the competition. I am very happy with their work. read more

The only electricians we will ever call!!! They answered the phone immediately, instead of going to a machine and waiting for a response. They came an hour after the phone call, exactly as they said they would. They completed the work with the highest level of professionalism. I was informed of small issues now that would become problems in the future, not to get money or work, but to let me know so that I am able to start properly planning for future repairs. This is a service that I highly value. Especially since most companies want to tell you about "issues" that need to be fixed right now! NOT this company, they are honest. The job was explained to me before, during, and upon completion. Every question I asked was explained without hesitation or annoyance. True professionals!!! read more

The wiring in my attic was a mess. I called Craig at Core Electric (on a Sunday) and he was there in an hour with a smile on his face. He bought me some candy from the ice cream man and proceeded to hear out my troubles. He was happy to let me tag along with him up there, he gave me advice for future attempts and didn't leave me broke. He even offered to walk me through trouble next time! I'd call him back in a second and if you're in a bind I suggest u do the same. Thanks Craig!!! read more

They are professional enough and having sense of humor, I would really like to call them if I need something else. Fixing a broken outlet is saving a life in this summer. Thanks a lot! handsomes. read more

Very happy with updated lighting in my kitchen. Craig pays attention to detail and wants his customer to be satisfied and happy. Will defiantly use him again. read more

Core Electric - Very happy with my updated lighting in my kitchen. Craig pays attention to detail and wants his customer to be satisfied. - Electricians Near Me

5 - Stars! for Core Electric. The owner, Craig, explained in detail what was probably the issue with an electrical problem going on at my folks house when I called him in search of a good and honest electrician. Turns out he is both! He also was totally clear about his rates, so I scheduled him for the next day. Great service and availability are key when your electrical system is having issues, and you are an older couple. Craig arrived at 10 am the next day and fixed a breaker in no time. He also took the time to listen to my Mom tell the entire story about their microwave,....the switch flipping...their fridge losing power [and I am sure where the bought the GE microwave; the warranty] I wasn't there for the appt., but following it, my Mother called me and was super happy with Core Electric. Also! just like the other Yelpers have said, his rate was very reasonable! ***on a side note for those of you looking through the reviews and making a choice on electrician; beware of the one negative review for this contractor by an, "N G". This person has complained in most all of his reviews - and he even gave only 1 star to the American Museum of Natural History!! he is a big complainer and has no friends on Yelp..ok he has two. I did not let this one review stop me from scheduling with Craig*** Craig spent 2 and a half hours at my Mother's house, even assisting and answering questions on her microwave - and charging a low flat fee period. This is just one of many 5--star reviews for a reason. I would not hesitate to call Core Electric for all things electrical in the future! read more

Boy this guy worked so hard to find the problem in our bedroom. In the end the problem was fixed after great difficulty. The price was fair since he worked over the weekend. Good service read more

Had an after hours issue with the power in our kitchen after tripping a breaker. Craig & Shane came out and fixed it no problem. Great communication leading up to and throughout the service call. Super nice and knowledgeable guys, would definitely recommend! read more

Five stars is not a good enough rating for the service Craig provided. I had an emergency in my office and I needed it to be fixed quickly. I called Core Electric and they came over right away. He assessed the problem and explained what had happened in laymen's terms and then gave me the options available to correct the problem. He was upfront about the costs and very professional. Suffice to say Craig fixed the problem quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Core Electric. Thank you for your help! read more

Responded to a call on Sunday, arranged to come and identify/fix an issue very next day; very professional and excellent service. Great communication, clear and upfront fees, definitely highly recommended read more

Core promptly returned my call and headed over. Problem was fixed within 90 minutes of my call for service. Only charged me for the service call out since the repair was quick. Ivan even let me know how to avoid the issue with the new parts. Excellent service. Highly recommend. read more

Craig and Shane are GREAT! We have used them twice! Once when our AC wasn't working in the summer and then just last night when we lost all power to our main living area. They are fantastic. They get the job done, they WILL find the problem and they make sure to clean up as the go. They followed cdc guidelines as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Craig helped me out of a jam. Super nice guy very thorough. I highly recommend his services.

Always great service! I hade core electric replace a main panel on my first house. When the county inspector commented on how clean the install was i knew it was money well spent... since then they have repaired several circuits at my new place, installed an outdoor circuit and set me up for a backup generator. The work is always top notch! read more

We called about 5 different "emergency electricians" and half of them didn't pick up/ half of them weren't available. It was 7:30pm on a Friday and looking like we were sh*t out of luck. Finally got to core electric and they said they would be there within the hour. They got to our place in half an hour and found the issue and fixed it in half an hour. We were so worried as we needed the issue to be fixed by morning due to the nature of our business-- and they pulled through! Don't bother calling any other "emergency electricians"-- bc they don't exist. And these guys are legit! read more
