Very helpful and honest. Our lights were flickering and Emanuel asked me to text him some pictures before he came out to save us some money he suggested to contact PG&E. PG&E came out and fixed the problem. We will definitely do businesses with him in the future. read more

Emanuel and his staff have come out to our house for two jobs (actually, I kept thinking of things to do so we spaced out the work and he was so accommodating!). We just bought a house and needed overhead light in the bedrooms. What started as a simple ceiling fan install turned into that plus recessed lighting plus additional light switches in the kitchen and dimmers and suggestions for upstairs fans/etc. Emanuel is extremely professional, he and his staff arrived right on time and he had really great recommendations. He kept me involved through the process about what he was doing, how he was doing it, and what the alternatives were for what I wanted to do. I really appreciate Emanuel and his staff for the quality of work. I highly recommend him!! read more

We needed an electrician and had called a couple of electrician who were very difficult to schedule so I called Emanuel in the morning and he called me back with in the hour and was able to come by that same morning to do the work (awesome)! He replaced a 3 light bathroom vanity and was able to trouble shoot the placement of the new light I bought. He replaced a bedroom light, worked on a outdoor fan & worked on and went to the hardware store to get replacement bulbs for a bedroom fan/light. He also fixed a few loose recess lights in the dining room. He did a great job, very friendly and kept me in the loop of what he had done on each of the jobs. I thought he went above and beyond to get these jobs done and his price was very reasonable. I will use ECP electric from now on!! read more

These guys are excellent. They offered to give me free advice over the phone on how to solve the problem myself, so that I wouldn't have to pay them. Who does that in this day and age? Eventually Emanuel came out himself, and fixed the problem quickly and effectively. I'm definitely hiring them again! read more

Emanuel is simply awesome I also found Emanuel via yelp and I could not be any happier with his services. He is courteous, prompt, pays attention to detail and most importantly knows his stuff. I had him install an electrician panel which he completed promptly and got the permit approved. Another note is that his rates and in my case, the lowest. I would definitely keep using Emanuel in any of my future electrical work and will recommend him to my friends and family. Thanks Emanuel! read more

I had a small electrical job (replace a GFCI receptacle). Emanuel was recommended on the Nextdoor site. I called on Friday, and Emanuel said he had a large job on Monday, but could come over after that. I called him on Monday, and he arrived around 2:30pm. He quickly replaced the receptacle, and cleaned up the area afterwards. I plan to use him later for other electrical projects. He will be my go-to electrician. read more

Such an excellent service , fast too and so efficient . Highly recommend these guys ..thank you Emmanuel and Pablo . 5 stars from me . So professional . read more

I ran into some trouble replacing an old dimmer switch and Emanuel was able to fix it for me. His base charge covers two hours of labor, and since replacing the dimmer took so little time, he offered to install several other outlets and switches that I had planned to do myself at no additional charge. Great service and very easy going. read more

I have hired Emanuel to perform several jobs at my house over the past few years. He has always been on time, courteous, and honest with his assessment of the issue and the solution which he presents, along with a reasonable price to get it done. Emanuel has installed new outlets (interior and exterior), LED pot lights, track lighting, a new sub panel in my garage, new copper wiring from the main panel to the sub panel, and solved several other electrical issues in my house (built in the 60's). Each time, he surprises me with the completeness of his work, and the reasonable prices that he offers. I have had two other electricians work in my house in the past, and was never satisfied with their work. Emanuel actually had to fix some of their work, since they were unable to perform the work correctly. That is why I never hesitate to refer Emanuel to my friends and family, since I know that he will reflect well on himself and me. If you need any electrical work done, he's your electrician! read more

Very nice people. Walked me through the phone even though knowing that this might lose them a business opportunity. My problem was simple enough to be fixed over the phone. While other firms that I called were giving me a obnoxious quote to come down and evaluate, these guys went out of their way asking the basics...this shows true integrity of their work and customer service...I will come back to Emmanuel Perkis for other work that I plan to do read more

Needed a bathroom fan removed and a new one installed. Plus a GFI outlet and change the switch from 1 for the bathroom lights and fan to 1 for the lights and a second for the fan. Emanuel explained that the fan and outlet were possible and the switches depended on the wiring inside the walls. The walls said the wiring was good for a second switch and it took him and his helper less than 1 hour. The price was reasonable. Oh, I called on a Monday and was scheduled for the next Friday. Wednesday morning He called me and said there was a a cancellation. He came out 15 minutes later and was finished in 1 hour, including cleaning up, and 2 days early. Forgot to mention that that work required cutting into the drywall in two places. The resulting cuts were the right size. No extra drywall work needed. No extra painting needed. Very happy. read more

We had a job in our kitchen to solve an electrical problem. They came on time, very polite crew and clean. They even clean up the area after the job was completed. I would used them again for solving your electical needs. read more

If you need electrical work...Emanual is your man! Courteous, prompt, professional and affordable service. This is the 2nd time we have called upon ECP Electric for home electrical service, the first time for bathroom fan installation, this time to install a ceiling fan. Did I already say how non-annoying Emanual is? He shows up on-time, with a professional attitude rarely seen anymore, especially in younger home-professionals. He gets right to work, cleans-up afterwards and gets it DONE!! Hire Emanual for all of your electrical needs, you will NOT be dissapointed (no, I am not his cousin!!) read more

Emanuel is not only an electrician. He is an interior designer, engineer, and problem solver that masquerades as an electrician. With his team on the project, he is able to understand client needs, recommend the optimal setup for wiring, and deliver on time all with very reasonable prices. We hired Emanuel to redo the entire house from panel to lights, with only a rough idea of where everything would go. He took the time to literally walk through our use cases, make adjustments (e.g. location of lights, switches), that didn't really make much sense to us at the time, but now living and using his suggestions realize that he 100% knows the best layout for any given room, both inside and out. read more

I had a very difficult problem. A source line to a set of sockets just started working. The team came out an searched everywhere - and I mean everywhere. At the end of the day the source of the problem could not be found, so we devised a workaround and then they fixed it. The problem is still a mystery, but the solution is more than satisfactory. read more

These two guys did a fantastic job setting up a designated 220 line for my wall oven they were very efficient very personal and joyed their company and hiring them to do my electrical work. In the future if I need any electrical work I know who to go to. read more

Emanuel is fantastic. Came by on short notice and fixed what I needed fixed in no time. And also helped trouble shoot a problem I was having with my front lights and managed to fix them as well in about ten minutes. Great guy and trustworthy. Will definitely use him again. Sam read more

Emanuel was great. Swapped out my chandelier that was 20' tall. Then took care of 2 other GGCI I was having problems with. They cleaned up after they job was done. He's my go to electrician. read more

Like others it was my first time needing a electrician so, with no leads to follow I went online and started reading reviews when I found Emanuel. After reading the reviews regarding his service and work I made my decision to give him a try. We are happy to say that we made a good decision with Emanuel!! Although we did not get to meet him personally, for work schedule reasons, my brother definitely approved of him and his partner who came with him. Very nice guys! Very down to earth, fast and professional. We now have a trusted Electrician for any future needs that we are comfortable with. Hopefully this will help you make your decision if you are in the same boat we were in. Thank you Emanuel.....for lighting up my kitchen! read more

Answered on first dial. Showed up on time (15 mins early). Polite, courteous, knowledgeable. Ted charged me what they quoted on the phone. Tidied up after himself and educated me as to what had gone wrong. In the process he had to check main wiring box and gave me comments on competency/professional of that job. All in all totally thrilled. if every professional was as professional as this life would be a lot easier and a lot more pleasant. They are now my electricians for life. read more

Very professional electrician. Difficult to find in a good one in San Jose. With Emanual you don't need to worry about short cutting or substandard/dangerous work. All work is neatly done and up to code. Sad state of affairs that this is a rarity in San Jose. Highly recommended. read more

Waited for him all day, turns out he decided to blow my call and never had the courtesy to even respond

I wanted to install dimmers and a ceiling fan to surprise my wife before she returned back from a trip with the kids. I had called a handyman to install them and he failed miserably. The handyman said he would come back on a Saturday to get the job done but after spending 5 hrs to install a ceiling fan and 3 dimmers (and failing), I had lost about as much faith in a persons capabilities as one can lose (that might sound harsh, but dimmers and a ceiling fan are pretty straight forward installations...I had hired him to save me time from doing it myself so I could work on other projects. Instead, he was asking me to troubleshoot things with him). I looked on Yelp and based on all the great reviews, I called Emanuel explaining my issues...the botched job and my "surprise" deadline. He was pretty booked and actually in the middle of a job but said he would call me in the evening to see what we could do. He called. He asked a lot of questions that impressed me. The most memorable, "did the handy man go into the attic to make sure the box can support the weight of the fan". Memorable because the answer was "no, he had not". Emanuel said he would verify the box in the attic could support the weight to prevent potential collapse as well as wobbling. We spoke and he was fairly confident he could get the fan working, citing some general mistakes that are often made. He instructed me not to return the old fan just yet and let him take a shot at it. He made time on a Saturday to come to my house and give it a shot to help me out with my 'surprise'. Right there, a 5 star effort. I mean, what more can you ask for than a person going a extra mile. He spent about an hour trying to undo what the handy man did and ultimately concluded that the unit was likely fried (humbly saying it might have come that way and not necessarily the work of the handy man). He then took it all down and installed a back up fan that I had purchased at Home Depot. When it was all said and done, he only asked for the original quoted fee (that is to say, he basically tried to troubleshoot and install a fan for about an hour, couldn't get it to work because it was faulty and started all over again and installed a second fan and asked for the original single fan installation rate). He also saw that the face plates on the dimmers were a bit skewed and took them off, double checked the wiring work of the handyman...noticed an error which was causing some issues between a multi-switch and fixed that problem and then put the plates back in a more ascetic way (straightening the plate and aligning the screws). A perfectionist. He came back a week later to install LED lights throughout the house. Very courteous, very down to Earth and his pricing very reasonable. read more

Emmanuel from ECP Electric is the BEST!!! We called him on a Friday and he came out Saturday morning, spent 2 hours fixing some circuit problems, was friendly, and very reasonable. And everything now works perfect! We highly recommend him! read more

Fast response and great service - the problem was not what we suspected and took the time to diagnose the right problem and had it fixed quickly. Highly recommended. read more

Emanuel is one of those professionals inspires confidence from the first time you meet him. He did a lot of work in the backyard and bedrooms. He was on time and neat as was his helped Pablo. They discussed what they were doing and make suggestions. Emanuel found the wiring in my main panel was a mess (not surprising after so many other electricians have worked in their so he completely rewired it and only charged for one hour. I highly recommend him. read more

Recently, I had noticed that my upstairs bathroom ceiling fan was making louder and louder noises, and I decided that this fan definitely needed to be replaced. I contacted Emanuel Perakis, from ECP Electric, discussed the situation with him, received a quote, and we agreed that he would come to my home for this job. I indicated to him that, as long as I was having the upstairs bathroom fan replaced, I would like to have him replace the ceiling fan in the downstairs bathroom, as well. On the agreed-upon date, and at the agreed-upon time, Emanuel and Pablo arrived at my home. They were polite, friendly, got right to work, and I now have two brand new QUIET bathroom ceiling fans. I was impressed with the fact that they covered the areas where they were working with tarps and, when the job was done, they completely vacuumed and cleaned the areas where they had worked. I am very grateful to Emanuel and Pablo for a timely, careful, neat job. I also very much appreciate how friendly and helpful they were with any questions that I had asked. They deserve to be recognized for this great job! read more

If you need an electrician, call Emanuel! We contacted several electricians and he is the only one who called back in a timely manner (within 8 hrs). We found him to be very honest, knowledgeable, efficient and a great worker. He upgraded our electrical panel, pulled the necessary permits, installed ceiling fans and ran dedicated lines to the game room and kitchen. His prices are very reasonable and he goes the extra step to ensure that all is done well. The inspector even complimented him on the job he did with the panel. He will do all of our electrical work from now on! read more

I've had Emanuel work on a number of homes we manage through our property management company, and some that I work on independently. Emanuel and Pablo both do EXCELLENT work. Very thorough, on-time, clean, informative, and very professional. ECP Electric is one of our preferred vendors, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a skilled electrician. read more

Emanuel of ECP Electric was terrific. He and his assistant Carlos tackled some unique and unusual wiring issues as well as provided some basic repairs. They were friendly, respectful and extremely professional in all their interactions. They are familiar with various wiring issues, code requirements, the latest electrical trends and needs (like car chargers), and are great problem solvers. After they departed, I felt confident that their work was of the best quality and I could trust they had found the right solutions for the right problems. Additionally, my home electrical system has now been reviewed by this team of professionals -everything is working again and they even checked the condition of the set up of my control box. What a sense of security that my home is now safer than it was before their visit! Reasonably priced and definitely dependable on arriving on time and ready to work. read more

Emmanuel has now done two jobs for me - one small (outlet installation) and one bigger - car charger in a detached garage involving trench work. Super nice guy. Punctual. Tidy. Knowledgable. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

Emanuel came to my Mother-in-Law's house to inspect a Federal Pacific electrical panel and a weak stab lok circuit breaker. Extremely professional and nice to her and explained what he was looking for. Tightened loose terminals and checked all of the breakers. He's sending an estimate for replacing the panel, but verbally quoted me what we should expect. Very timely and responded to the call quickly... Highly recommend!! read more

Would highly recommended Emanuel. He rewired our whole house several years ago, removing the old knob and tube wiring. Did a very professional job. Recently we called Emanuel to help with the installation of an electric car charger. His rates are reasonable and the quality of his work is first rate. read more

Emanuel and Pablo are fantastic. I've had them come over for 3 different jobs and every time they were on time, did a great job and were reasonably priced. We had garage lights installed, GFCI replaced and smart switches (Lutron Caseta) installed all over the house. He is quick to diagnose the problems, gives you different options and then does the work as discussed. I would definitely recommend Emanuel and the team. read more

emanuel was absolutely great. had a question only regarding a commercial installation & he provided an answer with much detail knowing that we just had the question but answered throughly & was extremely helpful. He is the man!!!!! read more

I needed a 220 line put in. Another company said I needed a new panel and the cost would be $3500. ECP found a way to use my old panel and did a great job for 1/10th the price. Kudos. read more

I rarely take the time to write a review but am an avid YELP user. Because of the level of service and expertise that Emanuel demonstrated for this job, he deserves the highest rating. He came to us from our contractor. We had decided to put recess lighting in both an attic setting and in the main living area. There was no existing lighting. This sounds easy but everything was either vaulted and/or on an angle. Our new lights are beautiful, energy efficient and give us well lit rooms with no shadows. We were so happy that we had Emanuel install lights in a room we had already completed. His planning and efficiency made it easy for our contractor to come back in and patch the areas where the new lights were installed. Emanuel is fairly priced and his detailed invoices reflect everything he has done and the price he quoted. As he worked he found some issues that come along with owning an older home. He fixed some and others he told us about and gave us all of our options. He is our electrician for any new jobs we will do in the future and our family highly recommends him for any of your electrical needs. TC read more
