    Excess ceiling removed for the exhaust body. Cover still left a gap

    We had requested GAP to install a bathroom exhaust fan back in 2020. Rough install with excessive space cut in the ceiling relative to the fixture in the ceiling, left rough wall patching for the switch and wiring. Not a big deal. Over the years I wondered why the fan we installed was so freaking loud and obnoxious. It's supposedly whisper quiet but I figured I just had sensitive ears, which I do. I took it apart as we are planning a bathroom remodel and figured out why. He had installed the fixture and didn't even try to vent it, it's completely obstructed. I may as well should have left it alone since this exhaust was just circulating humid air anyways and I could have spared myself from the noise. He could have told me that he only installs and a contractor would need to figure out the rest but that was not what was agreed upon. I'm upset over a half assed job. we We were overwhelmed new home owners (2020) and now I realized we have been taken advantage of

    I highly recommend Gap Electric. Gonzalo responded to my inquiry within 20 minutes from a evening text and was able to squeeze me in for a 830am appointment. He provided me a fair estimate which he honored at the time of payment. He was friendly, safe (masked), and very prompt. He replaced my circuit breaker and my lights are working great. I will definitely be using Gap Electric for my future electrical needs. Five stars!!

    Burnt main breaker
    Alvin S.

    I was having electrical issues ie. lights flickering, some appliances not powering on, and arcing from my electrical panel. I called my brother, who is an electrician in San Mateo County, and he said I needed to address the issue ASAP because the arcing could cause a fire. I couldn't wait a few days for him to fix it because of the risk of fire so he found GAP Electric (he read reviews and can see how clean of a job GAP does). I called GAP, explained the issue and Gonzalo (owner of GAP) came right away. Gonzalo diagnosed the issue and the arcing came from my main breaker, which was burnt, and also damaged a part of my panel. It was time to upgrade my panel and breakers. Gonzalo installed a Siemans 125amp panel with arc fault breakers. He also updated some wiring, rearranged previous wiring that weren't up to code, and overall did a great job. I'm very happy with the job. No more flickering, no more arcing, and also no more overload on a circuit where we would have two separate Dyson space heaters warming up my wife's office and the nursery (happy wife, happy life). It was annoying to always have to switch the breaker back on after an overload. I had an awesome experience working with Gonzalo. He's very knowledgeable, friendly, diligent and works fast. I'd recommend GAP Electric in a heartbeat. Thank you Gonzalo!

    Updated review to 1 from 3 stars. Directly in response to Business Owners response. 1. " I fixed your problem and test before leaving, otherwise you wouldn't pay." You fixed my garbage disposal by switching out the connection to the one used by using a connection for my recessed light, which you told me was broken due to the bulb. We had contractors replaced the bulb and the fixture and were informed that its a wiring issue. 2. "I came back after a time because you said that your light fail, and you were not there, sorry, but the nature of my job is service, and I go where people need me" We told you that the light was still not working, and you showed up randomly without an appointment. we never agreed to a time or a date. If service is your job, then make an appointment, you dont randomly show up to peoples homes and park in their driveways 3. "but I can not stop assisting other clients or changing schedules of it is not an emergency. " Nobody told you to stop, and we werent asking you to come right away. We requested an appointment, which you never gave us, you just randomly showed up. 4. "I was there, you were not." Because you randomly showed up. without an appointment. people go to work. 5. By the way, no need to break into your house or your neighbors, actually I am your neighbor, have a Family and live from this. My clients recognize me and know about my commitment. This is not about you, and nobody accused you of breaking in. Original post said "WE" had break-ins and dont want random people coming without an appointment. This has "NOTHING" to do with you. The fact that you feel because you are not a burglar, you can do whatever you want is part of your problem. 6. Thanks for your review, and hopefully you solve your problems, that evidently are not electrical. Good luck!! The problem is "MOST" Definitely a direct result of you switching out the wiring from our recessed light which was working, to fix the Garbage disposal on the same switch. now the garbage disposal does work, and the recessed light does not, which "YOU" told us is due to a broken bulb. Which we changed out, and changed the entire fixture, and had the wires tested, and were told is faulty wiring issue. You are most definitely the problem. The fact that I gave 3 stars, and you felt you needed to attack us to avoid blame, is most definitely a red flag here Original Review 3 stars. TLDR - would not use GAP again Mixed bag here. We used GAP a few years ago when we moved to the east bay. Our garbage disposal stopped working, GAP came: 1. would not take off shoes or wear booties as ("its against union rules"). okay not a big deal. 2. Could not fix the garbage disposal, so changed out the wiring to our recessed lights. garbage disposal starts working, but recessed light does not work - GAP tells us to change the bulb should be good. (its not the light bulb or fixture.. its the wiring we will learn later) 3. We ask gap to come back because the light has been changed but still doesnt work. GAP randomly shows up without an appointment, and parks in our driveway when were not home. - this is an issue not because we suspect GAP. but someone had broken into our car in the driveway before, and may have also gotten into our garage. Also our neighbor had a similar break in. We just dont want random people showing up when were no around. We have security cameras with motion detectors thats how we knew he was on site in our driveway 4. Handyman tries to place the light again, buys brand new fixture. doesnt work, tests the wiring, were getting power. but thinks the ground is messed up. Overall. 3 stars, he did fix the garbage disposal. but by switching out the cabling for the recessed light. which I now have to pay someone else to fix.

I live in Canada and managed the work remotely by phone, text, and email, after meeting him in person right at the start of the job. I contracted with Kelly after speaking with several other candidate electricians, because he was super communicative and responsive, explained his process and thinking clearly and thoroughly, and had long and broad experience with electrical panel replacement and upgrade projects throughout the SF Bay Area and up and down California. This was Kelly's first project in Palo Alto, and he was persistent and conscientious when navigating all the hoops and roadblocks thrown in his path by the City of Palo Alto permitting and engineering department, which seems to have a very different (and shockingly inefficient and painful) approach from other surrounding municipalities. He collaborated with me when needed to follow up and push things through the City of Palo Alto, and frankly after my own experiences with them, I'm even more impressed with Kelly's perseverance and patience in doing what was needed to get the job done. My mom's live-in caregiver also gave Kelly rave reviews, saying he was always kind and gentlemanly whenever he visited to carry out tasks for the panel replacement job. Kelly did careful and neat work, and the new, upgraded panel works well and looks good and very professionally built. And the quote we received once the full scope of work became clear was honored throughout the project, even though I know Kelly put in a lot of extra hours driving around and haunting the halls of the City of Palo Alto to get all the right paperwork put together and finalized and signed off. Sticking to the original quote speaks to his integrity. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kelly as a knowledgeable and easy-to-work-with electrician who will do a great job for you on whatever electrical project you have for him. In these days when many people are hard to reach, flaky, or have little pride in their work, Kelly Henson was a breath of fresh air, and I'm grateful to have contracted with him for this work.

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.

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!
