The electrical service in my 88-year-old apartment was normal for many years. But at the end of…read moreMarch, I discovered a dangerous condition. I was in the kitchen when I heard the refrigerator compressor turn at the start of a cooling cycle, and at the same time, I saw the ceiling light over the kitchen sink dim, flicker, and turn back on! That was not good. After investigating, I discovered that whenever any appliance in the apartment was turned on, the kitchen sink light would go dark, flicker, and turn back on. So I immediately tried to contact my landlord. But he didn't answer his phone or respond to any of my texts or videos. I found out later he was on vacation for 10 days somewhere in Asia and never received my messages. So I went online and completely described the apartment and the electrical symptoms to Google AI. The AI said, "The problem is likely a loose neutral connection somewhere in the wiring of the circuit that powers the kitchen light. In 1938 , it was common for one "home run" wire to leave the fuse box and hop from one device to the next. If there is a loose wire nut or a corroded screw terminal anywhere "upstream" (like in a living room outlet or a hallway switch), every time a load is applied, the voltage "leaks" as heat at the bad connection." I asked the AI if it was a fire safety hazard. The AI said, "Yes, if the kitchen light is the only one reacting, it means the heat from that high resistance is concentrated at a specific loose junction box or outlet in your walls." The AI suggested I, "Stop Using High-Power Devices: Immediately unplug the air conditioners, microwave, and toaster. Your wiring is currently being used as a heating element inside your walls. You need an electrician to trace this circuit. They will check every outlet and switch between the fuse box and that kitchen light to find the loose connection before it ignites." IGNITES!!! That would definitely be bad!. Four Aces electricians had been working for my landlord on an electrical issue that one of my neighbors had been having. So I called them and described the problem. While I was in the kitchen on the phone talking to them, the kitchen light dimmed and I heard a "snap" sound from somewhere behind me. Rick told me that normally he would put together an estimate. Give the estimate to the landlord, agree on a price, sign a contract, and then do the work, but because of the serious nature of the symptoms, he felt he should immediately send somebody to at least determine what the problem is. He told me to stop using the power and he would get an electrician to my apartment as soon as he could. Two electricians arrived: Brandon and Leonardo. Leonardo is a master, and Brandon is highly skilled. It was a pleasure to watch Leonardo analyze the problem. He really knows what he is doing. They started at the fuse box, taking measurements of the power SMUD was supplying. Then they went into the house. While they were standing in the kitchen, the light was flickering. Leonardo had Brandon remove a cover on a fuse box near the washing machine to take voltage measurements and tighten all the connections. Brandon said, "I found a loose neutral." When he tightened it, the light stopped flickering." Brandon said it wasn't completely unscrewed, but it definitely had word its way loose. The light stopped flickering. It hasn't dimmed or flickered since. The problem was solved. That fire hazard was dealt with. What Leonardo had Brandon do is a perfect example of what you need: electricians who have years and years of skill. It's not the turning of the screw that's worth the money; it's knowing which screw to turn. But they didn't stop there. Leonardo said one of the measurements he took at the main box indicated I should also call SMUD and ask them to send a technician to check SMUD's connections. When the tech arrived, he found a connection that needed to be replaced on the roof of the garage. Somehow Leonardo knew that. I can't recommend Four Ace Electricians highly enough! They were great! They deserve a 10-star review.

He communicated really well with me and got service out ASAP so I had a working outlet before Thanksgiving (huge relief because I needed it!). Robin was the service technician that helped us. He was efficient in diagnosing and fixing the problem. Even gave me a little advice on why another outlet was installed upside down (hint - it's because it is attached to a switch to turn it on and off. I was today's year old in learning this was normal). Felt great about the service, the team, and will definitely use them again anytime I need electrical work on my home! Thank you, Four Ace!

Extremely frustrating experience and a complete waste of my time…read more I contacted Villa Electric because I needed an actual diagnostic evaluation of my home's electrical system and panel--not someone to simply come out, look around, and give me estimates for future work. I explained what I needed and specifically asked what they charge for the diagnostic service. I asked twice and never received a price. Instead, Ramon repeatedly told me that estimates are free and that there would be a charge if the technician had to troubleshoot or diagnose anything. That was exactly what I was asking to have done, so naturally my question was: what is the charge? Somehow I still couldn't get a straight answer. I finally canceled the appointment and hired another electrician. I gave the other electrician essentially the same information, and he immediately understood what I wanted, quoted me his $160/hour diagnostic rate, explained what he could inspect, and scheduled the appointment. Simple. What really sealed my opinion of Villa Electric was Ramon's response after I canceled. He told me that "there's no other company out there in the market" that would do more for customers in terms of pricing and quality. That's a pretty remarkable claim to make about your pricing when you've repeatedly refused to tell the customer what your pricing actually is. When I pointed out that contradiction, his entire response was: "Thank you." I can't comment on their electrical work because I never let the process get that far. I can comment on my experience trying to hire them: poor communication, no pricing transparency, and a dismissive attitude when I explained why I was taking my business elsewhere. There are plenty of electricians to choose from. I shouldn't have to chase a company for a straight answer about what they're going to charge me before I agree to diagnostic work in my home. I wouldn't waste my time with Villa Electric again.

The charger had tripped the breaker a few days ago and would no longer operate. Kui was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He took the time to explain the issues with my breaker and outlined the available repair options in a way that was easy to understand. At no point did he pressure me into making a decision or purchasing additional services. Instead, he provided the information I needed and allowed me to decide what course of action was best for my situation. Once I agreed to the repair, Kui completed the work the very same day and kept me updated throughout the process. His communication was excellent, and I always knew what was happening and what to expect. The price for the completed work was also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the service and the same-day turnaround. It's not often you find a company that combines professionalism, expertise, clear communication, and fair pricing so well. Kui was easy to talk to, answered all of my questions, and clearly takes pride in his work. I would highly recommend Mr. Electric of Roseville and Kui to anyone in need of electrical services. The entire experience was professional, honest, stress-free, and exceeded my expectations.

While we typically rely on a family friend for electrical work, his current unavailability forced us to look for a local professional. After reaching out to several businesses well past midnight, Gene was the only one to provide an immediate response. His promptness and willingness to engage outside of standard business hours were incredibly impressive. Despite my own scheduling challenges and a delay in my communication the following day, Gene remained remarkably patient and professional. Once we connected, he was able to accommodate an appointment quickly. Upon arrival, Gene was thorough and efficient. He systematically troubleshot the electrical panels and exterior AC connections. When the initial tests didn't reveal the source of the problem, he went above and beyond by inspecting the furnace in the attic. While I initially feared the issue might require a separate HVAC specialist, Gene identified and resolved the root cause himself. He took the time to explain the technical details, ensuring I understood the work being performed. It is rare to find a technician who is as honest as they are skilled. Gene is a true professional who clearly takes pride in his work and treats his clients with genuine care. I highly recommend Gene and Plug Electric to anyone seeking an experienced, trustworthy, and responsive electrician. I will certainly be referring him to my own network in the future.
