Grid Electric was the sub-contractor for my whole house rebuild - they did all the rough electric and finishing. Tim is a great guy and does high quality work. Whenever I had concerns, he was easy to reach and patiently answered my questions. I highly recommend Grid Electric. If I need electrical work done in the future - they will be the first place I call. read more

I contacted Grid Electric for a Tesla Wall Connector installation. Tim Ash from Grid Electric came over to install it. He is very professional and a great electrician. Tim even helped me with moving heavy shelves. He also ran wires and did a clean job of installation for the wall connector. I highly recommend Tim from Grid Electric for electrical jobs! Thank you, ~Pomi read more

UPDATE: Tim called later that afternoon and scheduled to come Sunday morning to install a new fan that we bought in lieu of the broken one that had the light constantly on. He showed up on time, was fast, efficient and clean. I am changing my review and stars to show that he did make right with this situation and we appreciate that. Thank you! read more

Tim helped us upgrade electric panel. He was very knowledgeable, reliable, and responsive despite COVID related challenges. I'm very thankful and recommend for electric panel upgrade and other electrician needs. read more

Tim was responsive, capable of doing quality work, and his pricing was competitive. He replaced the sub-panel in the garage and pulled a NEMA 14-50 for EV charging. While there, I also hired him to do other minor, non-urgent electrical work that I put off for years and his rate was also very reasonable since he was already there at the house. Overall I would call him again for electrical work and refer to friends/family as well. read more

We're slowly electrifying our house, with the most recent being ditching the gas water heater for a heat pump version. The installer needed a separate 30 amp panel, and Tim installed it quickly and cleanly from the diagonal corner of the house where the main panel is. The inspection went smoothly, and everything works perfectly. The cost was reasonable and Tim was easy to work with. I'll definitely give him a call when we can take the next step and swap the old gas cookstove for an electric one. read more

We replaced all our electrical outlets and switches with smart switches and upgraded our recessed lighting. We had a great experience hiring grid electrical. Tim was very responsive and gave us an upfront quote for the entire project. Although our work took them a little longer than the initial estimate, their final pricing was within an acceptable range and Tim did a great job to make sure everything worked well. read more

Grid Electric. Tim Ash, mgr, did a flawless and meticulous job updating a 50 year old 100amp panel to a new Siemens 200 main electrical service panel. Most affordable price for high quality components and timely service including professional quality stucco repair. Tim managed the materials, Sunnyvale city permits/inspections as well and PG&E applications. Tim goes one step beyond by thoughtfully considering what you need today and what you want tomorrow. Everything running smoothly and safely up to code. Highly recommend that you consider Tim Ash and Grid Electric. read more

Tim came out to install my EMP shield type 2 surge protector into the main breaker box. He showed up and was very professional and knew what he was doing. Very reasonable price and I recommend him for your electrical needs. Thank you for your help Tim. read more

Blew out our panel and PGE shut it off. No one could come in and were expensive as hell. SO PGE guy recommended Grid Electric to take care of the situation. Professional, knows what he is doing and Fair priced. Did not want or try to take advantage of the situation and stayed after the work was done for PGE to come, inspect the work and turn the lights on. Very Highly Recommended. read more

I needed to replace electric panel in our house. Of all companies I contacted on Yelp Tim Ash from Grid Electric was the only one who actually came to take a look and explain me in details what are the possibilities and limitations. He then instructed me how should I initiate the permit process and pass it to him to maintain it. Both installation and overall process management (PG&E and City representative should do their part of work in the day of installation) were done nicely and efficiently. All Tim's visits were on time and he always weared a mask. read more

I had my electric panel replaced. Tim and his crew did a wonderful job. Tim was very thorough every step of the way. He ensured that the new installation of the panel will pass inspection. He arranged a lot of upfront work (e.g. the wiring) to be done beforehand, and then coordinated both the city and PG&E to be present at different times during the day of installation to save time. During the replacement process, we've learned that the previous installation of my AC unit had cut some corners. They have left the wire going into the panel overly exposed, without shielding for a substantial length. We consulted with the AC Company (initialed AT that has a close partnership with Home Depot) that recently installed my AC unit, and they claimed that they do this frequently, and they have passed inspection with that. That, I'm not too sure, but from a civilian standpoint, I suspect that it is a safe thing to do, leaving wire exposed so that rodents can possibly chew on it, if they happen to gain access close to the wire leading up to the panel..... But anyway, Tim came up with a clever solution to work around the problem, and that simply demonstrated Tim's dedication to his high quality work standards. Overall, I would highly recommend Tim to others. read more

We called out Tim and his crew after having spa troubles. Even though he isnt a spa tech, he was able to figure out my issue when the spa guy didn't. We had him replace our spa breaker as well as some additional plugs and new fixtures in the front. Will definitely hire again!!! read more

Tim did an excellent job from start to finish! He was responsive when we asked for a quote - the quote was reasonable - and he did an excellent job! We will definitely have him back for any other work and we highly recommend him! read more

Tim helped me to install 2 240v sockets from panel to the garage. The work was done fairly quick and it works perfectly. I highly recommend Grid Electric and Tim for any electricity work. read more

Our panel is about 50+ years old. More than one circuits started to behave strangely. They would go out by themselves. Minutes or hours later, they would come back automatically. None of the breaker was ever tripped. Tim came in and gave his diagnose. It is either one phase of the main breaker is bad or one phase of the meter socket is bad. There are two options: fixing the current panel for couple hundred bucks or upgrading to a 200A panel. We decided to take the long term solution. Based on the online reviews, phone conversations and site visit, we picked Grid Electric. Tim's quote is competitive and his skill and workmanship is highly recommended. The permit and inspection will also be taken care. And we are quite happy with the results. As pointed out by other reviewers already, Tim did a nice job on the cable management. There were two electrical conduits mounted on the wall before. He spent the time to take them out and hide the wiring inside the wall. He installed two 8-foot ground rods to provide a path to dissipate a static discharge (such as lightning). One is near the panel and one is near the outdoor faucet in the front yard. The second one needs to be wired through crawl space and garage. An extra ground connector was also installed below the panel for future grounding need like Comcast cable. While we are at it, we also did the wiring for the future electric car charger in the garage. So it will be ready when the time comes. Overall, I found Tim professional and responsive. I have no doubt to get his help again when we have a new electric need! read more

Grid Electric - Before ... - Electricians Near Me

See all

We hired Tim to do a panel replacement and upgrade. First, he came out to give us a quote on a Sunday. Then, his price was 40-50% less than the other two quotes we got for the job, and it was all-inclusive for the permit and appointment, where the others would have tacked on additional fees. He was on time for each appointment we made with him, and completed the work in a single day as promised. Finally, when I discovered at 8:00 the night of the replacement that my stove-top and oven wouldn't turn on, he came out at 8:30 pm to figure it out. It turned out that they had been wired incorrectly when they were installed, and although it wasn't his fault or his responsibility, he switched the wires to correct the problem. I had a functional kitchen by 8:50pm. Friendly, local professional who deserves a 5 star rating. read more

Tim at Grid Electric is awesome -- extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend Tim and reach out to him for my next project. Tim did all the electrical work in our house - recessed led lights, wiring for kitchen cabinets, under cabinet lights and pendant light installs. Tim came up with a detailed and reasonable quote Followed up in a very professional fashion to complete all the electrical work in time and on schedule Assisted and provided valuable inputs in selection of under cabinet lights Overall very clean work, knows the trade and friendly to work with. A few weeks after the project I reached out to Tim when a main fuse went off and Tim came by, replaced the fuse and got my electricity back, all in goodwill without a fee -- that saved my day. You can trust Tim's work and have a professional experience. read more

Tim Ash is a excellent electrician. He installed the car charger for my electric car. Very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him read more

Worked with Tim. He replaced my electrical panel to bring it up to this century :) He's a nice guy, easy to deal with and made sure my job was done right. Price was competitive and he was recommended to me by the hvac co I had work done with. I will call him again for any electrical needs I have. read more

Tim fixed my range top with an amazing professionalism and personality. I half-heatedly called him late one afternoon. He showed up within an hour and diagnosed the problem very quickly. He didn't shoot for shortcuts, he rightly told me about the electrical issue and showed me what's wrong in the circuit breaker. He estimated the time and cost of the work. He showed on as agreed day & time and did the work as promised. One take away for me from the whole experience is that Tim doesn't shy away from quality work which is what is needed with electrical stuff. His personality is the bonus for working with him. I'm having his number handy for future electrical needs. read more

Back in July, Tim was a no show for an appointment and didnt call. I called him and he said he took an emergency electrical job, but said he could come by the next day after 11am. Gave him the benefit of a doubt. Again, the next day, no show / no call. My other appointments arrived on time to bid the Main Panel upgrade and they too were busy. read more

Tim is friendly, professional and has unbeatable prices. Tim came highly recommended and for good reason. He did a great job. He fixed all my bathroom and bedroom electrical problems. He Installed new outlets and switches, grounded everything and brought me up to code and safe. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He also did not charge me extra for an unseen problem that arose, that he made sure was no longer a problem. I highly recommend Grid Electric. read more

Tim is a very dedicated electrical contractor and has very good gestures. He tries to help in all possible ways. Very reasonably priced and I had my house do the new panel (200 amp) and rewire some of the circuits in kitchen and few outlets. He did a neat job and I was more than satisfied with his clean work. He and his helper were really dedicated, prompt, very responsive over calls and attends to a problems quickly. I recently had a quick favor and he came promptly to check if everything was fine. I really recommend Grid Electric & Tim. read more

Tim was very knowledgeable and knew what he was doing. We had him work on our electrical light switches as certain outlets in rooms only worked when the switch is in. (Both the top and bottom outlet) Sometimes a pain as in the kitchen the switch controls the light we have in there. In order to use the outlet, the light has to be on. Now we have a dedicated constant power outlet and the other works on the light switch. I would recommend Tim for electrical work in your house anytime. Very professional ! read more

Wow! Tim and Daniel just finished rewiring 3 bedrooms for me and did a fantastic job! We have had problems with the original aluminum wiring in our house and have been slowing replacing it with copper in phases. Seeing the difference between how Tim has done the rewire and how another electrician has done the same assignment, has been night and day. Tim and Daniel ran the new wires from the panel under the house and down from the attic, compared with the other electrician that just removed sheet rock all the way around the room. The previous electrician (not Grid) left a huge sheet rock mess and it took over a week and a half of additional repairs from another contractor for sheet rock, tape, mud, float, texture and then painting (and more $$$). Tim's prices were competitive and he returned/answered my phone calls. Tim and Daniel were professional, friendly and seem like nice guys. I usually hate having strangers working in my house, but these two were very easy to work with and seem trustworthy. I am pretty sure they do not smoke (not judging smokers, but we have asthma and are very sensitive to smokers). They carpool, so it was nice not having a lot of extra cars at my house. The work sites were cleaned up every day. Tim gave me pictures of concerns he noted in my attic that the previous electrician did wrong, and not trying to upsell me, he encouraged me to contact the previous electrician to have it resolved. I will definitely be keeping Tim's contact info for the future and would recommend him to anyone that wants safe (up to code), quality electrical work done. read more

Tim just finished the panel upgrade, outlet grounding and a few other small upgrade inside. He is a very dedicated electrical contractor and is very responsive. I'm very satisfied with his nice and neat work. I will definitely be keeping Tim's contact info for future upgrade. I really would recommend Grid Electric & Tim to my friends. read more

I needed to have my breaker box replaced as without lights in part of the house. This was an old box with very expensive breakers (40 dollars and more) and that did not fit the bus bar very well. I had already made the decision to replace the box. I saw Grids photos of box replacements for others and I was impressed, Tim showrd up when he said he would (point one) and provided a possible schedule for how long the job would take. I received the quote and decided to go with Grid. Tim showed up on schedule (point two) completed the work in the scheduled time (point three). Workmanship was the best I've ever had for electrical work. The best experience I've ever had period with any vendor. read more

Reached out to Tim to do a service upgrade on a 200 amp service and install electrical for a solar system. He went far above the call of duty on this project with overkill being so anal on the project. When the city came out to inspect it, they even gave him kuddos about how awesome his work was.. Competitively priced, reliable, dependable with class a work, I strongly recommend this firm....awesome job gents, thank you read more

This is a long due review. I can't recommend more for Grid Electric. I did something wrong and blacked out the house. It's been pretty late at the day and I called Grid Electric. He's been pretty occupied working with another customer and almost done for the day. Knowing my situation, he managed to come to my place soon after he finished the work, and helped me diagnostic the issue. Not only the work is great, the charge is very reasonable and competitive to others. read more

Extremely unreliable! I spoke with Grid Electric (not sure if I spoke with Tim or Daniel) two weeks ago. He said he'd come by that week to take a look at what work I needed done at my home and would complete the work the following week. He never came by nor called to let me know he couldn't make it. When I called him the following day he told me he was sick and would call me in a day or two to reschedule. I never received a phone call back. I've tired to reach them via phone and text for past several days and have yet to get a return phone call (which at the very least I am certainly owed). I do not recommend Grid Electric. read more

We needed to replace a very old and potentially dangerous electrical panel. I know several electrical contractors who gave me bids but they couldn't do the job within my time frame. I then looked up electrical contractors in my area through Yelp and called four electricians. Tim Ash from Grid Electric was the first to return my call and asked comprehensive questions to determine the scope this job required - I needed everything new from PG&E's line down to the box and in to the house. I compared Grid's electric quote with two other quotes I already had. His quote included all parts, labor and permits; and was less expensive; AND he was willing to come out and look at it right away. I was not comfortable about the current condition of the panel. Tim from Grid Electric immediately responded to my sense of urgency. He jumped on this job right away, got the permit and all the parts in one day. Then, the next day he was here and installed it all. And what a clean professional job he did!. Unfortunately, when I have work done, I am real picky and literally stand watching every move. I usually have to have things redone to make sure it's done right. Not with Grid Electric. I am more than happy with the installation and his work habits. I know it's done right. The Inspector came out and signed off on everything the first time. I plan on using Grid Electric again. What a great find. Thank you Yelpers for your input. Grid Electric is now my go-to electrician from now on! And I do not hesitate to recommend him. read more

Tim is great! We had him replace the electrical panel for a house that we just bought. He was very responsive, quick, and did a great job. He took care of the permit, patiently answered all our questions and was very easy to work with. He did such a good job with the electrical panel replacement, that we hired him to install recessed lighting throughout the house as well. He was very professional and cleaned up after the work was done. We definitely recommend Grid Electric! read more

Tim and Daniel just finished installing a home EV charger, flood light and helped fix a faulty outdoor light switch. They have been very responsive throughout the whole process and taught me quite a bit about my home electricity. Can definitely tell they take pride in their work. Highly recommend! read more

I had eight 5" recessed lights installed. The quality of the work was clean and efficient. The lights were installed without having to do any patch-work afterwards. On the first visit, he took the time to understand what I needed and quoted a reasonable price. Tim and his crew are professional and courteous. And for those that maintain a shoe-less household, no problem. They have shoe covers. read more

I hired him for an addition in 2017 and I started looking at his work again because I'm starting a kitchen remodel. He did the rough electrical with no problems and stated to call him when the inspection was done so he can add the outlets and tie into the panel. He was nearly paid in full at this time. I called when inspector was done. He took days to return my call and then stated he was too busy to come over because he has more important jobs. He said he can be there in 3-4 weeks. He acted as if he was doing me a favor by working on my house. After arguing over this for days I hired someone else to finish the job. Then he has the arrogance to come over and ask for the rest of the payment which was a few hundred dollars. He obviously didn't want to finish the job because he had most of the payment. Came to my house, spit on my driveway as he scowled at me asking me for the payment. Never had a contractor that was so arrogant and rude. Don't hire him. He is entitled, rude, and could care less about customer service or satisfaction. Other electricians who've came afterwards for my current project see his work and shake their head in bewilderment. Again, find someone else. I kept the texts that show his arrogance and offensive behavior. read more

I am going to rate Tim 5 star....Why???? because he is so knowledgeable and did a excellent job,he understand the code and safety for Fremont Ca, got the job done with in promise date and time, price is very reasonable, I highly recommend Grid electric to any body out there. Tim, thank you for your service Fred&Emma read more

Tim and his team was great! I was getting my floors done and all of my ethernet wire were coming in from the floor. I had to have an electrician fix this immediately, otherwise it would delay my installations on my floors. I need help fast and Tim was able to work with my schedule. He came and worked in installing and routing ethernet jacks and setting up my main router the very next day when most electrician were booked 4-6wks out. He was reasonably priced and very friendly. I definitely would recommend Tim and his team on any electrical projects. read more

I worked with Tim for an electric repair and couple of improvements on my house. It was a very good experience. I highly recommend him for both repairs and improvements. Here's my story: Called him at 7:00PM he showed up and kept working on the problem going into the attic, all the receptacles, junction boxes, etc until 10:00PM, couldn't find the problem, he said he'll come back for free the next morning to go in the crawl space and keep searching. He did. After finding the problem ,told me up front what needs to be done, how much it will cost. I added couple of improvements that I wanted to do on the electric circuitry. We negotiated and made a deal. He did a very nice and clean job. No damages to the stucco or sheet rock. Put in some additional circuit breakers, receptacles, lights, and got the job done in time. I'll give him more business in the future. read more
