I met Alex when he was doing work for other owners in my condo building, which is a high rise near Lake Merritt in Oakland. He is well known in the building, because of his excellent work. The building management has many rules; and Alex knew how to adjust to them all; and also how to deal with unusual studs and other wiring in the building -- he's very flexible and imaginative. I needed under-cabinet lighting for my kitchen. I also needed unusual rewiring at my windows in order to install power shades. Alex gave me very reasonable estimates, for both projects. Very important to know about Alex is that he very thoroughly analyzes an electrical situation and works with other contractors seamlessly -- even when multiple visits are required. He also noticed other lighting needs that would be useful for my home. My wife and I are getting on in years and need better lighting throughout our home; and Alex was very empathetic with these needs and imaginative about finding solutions. In this respect, I would say that he provides lighting design expertise in addition to being a master electrician. Also, his prices are very reasonable. Because of his superior expertise and high quality workmanship and multi-service approach, he could charge more; but he remains reasonably priced as part of his service attitude. read more

I needed a few items done in the townhome. High ceiling entry light replaced, living room recessed light replaced and new kitchen outlet installed for stovetop exhaust fan. I called three different electricians that I found on Yelp. Alex, the owner of Ion, was the only electrician to actually answer the phone! The others never got back to me at all during the week after calling them. Alex was very professional and took all of my information on the phone and was able to give me a quote during that same phone call. Alex scheduled my appointment to come out in a couple of days. Alex and his assistant showed up promptly and immediately got to work. Alex walked me through all of the work that he and Juan would be doing. They were able to get all of the work done promptly. They were careful when doing their work to keep everything clean. Everything looks and works great! Alex and Juan cleaned up and removed all of the trash and debris. The price was fair for the work that was done. I highly recommend Ion Electrical for any of your needs. We will definitely use Ion again when the need arises. read more

Paul from Ion Electrical provided us with excellent service for a range of electrical work we needed for our home. He answered our initial request promptly by phone/email and was able to fit in a site visit to review our requested work the same day. He answered all our questions thoroughly during the visit and proposed a scope work that was both cost effective and accomplished what we were looking to get done. After we scheduled the work, Ion Electrical provided a quick turnaround for a fair price and left the job site clean. We were very impressed with their service and pricing and intend to use them again on upcoming work. 5 Stars for sure. Raj P. read more

I have used ION Electrical for my last 4 electrical projects. Each project went great. I had a ceiling fan installed, recess lighting in several rooms installed, outlets changed out, dimmer lights switches installed and electrical work related to my solar panels done. Each project has gone perfectly. Alex was more than helpful in making sure we were on the same page about all details, cost, and timing of the project. If you need an excellent, cost effective electrician contact ION Electrical. read more

We had such a great experience and really appreciated how professional, honest, and easy he was to work with. He took the time to explain everything, never pressured us into adding extra work, and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Once the job was finished, he cleaned everything up and left the space looking great. It's not always easy to find someone you feel confident calling again, but we definitely will. We're very happy with the work and highly recommend him! read more

Alex is incredibly competent in both analyzing the issues and remedying them. He needed to replace the sub panel for our breakers, rewiring new breakers and identifying all of them properly. He then pulled a new line for an HAVC installation that was to happen and completed everything in less than a day. His price was very reasonable for this much work. I wholeheartedly recommend using his company to anyone needing electrical work completed. read more

Not only a quick fix...what a fine young man! He certainly didn't need my business, but was kind enough to help me. It's so wonderful to see such fine customer service. Thank you, Alex, and Ion Electrical Services. read more

Requested a repair on a bathroom exhaust fan and smoke detector. They replied very quickly with a estimate range. Communication was great they asked for photos of the issue and were able to repair both in less than two days. They arrived on time, used shoe protectors and left the place spotless. Would definitely use for any other electrical work in the future. Thank you for a great job ! read more
