Tom is a standup guy that does high quality work. He is thorough with his work, prompt, and priced competitively. I highly recommend contacting Lory Electric for any of your home electrical needs. read more

Tom is thorough, diligent, and conscientious. As someone who is not mechanically inclined, he provided options and explained barriers. He stayed late to get the job done. I will definitely use his services again. read more

I had an emergency when the electricity went out at my house including where my modem box is while i was working (no WiFi!!). A lot could be wrong, I have the Christmas tree lit (yes, during the day, don't judge me), the portable heater going at full blast plugged in to an extension cord, along with a few other things that could be the culprit. I unplugged everything and turned everything off. I tried turning all the switches in the electric box off and on, nothing. I found Tom here on Yelp, left a message, and he quickly called me 30 mins later (thank goodness). Over the phone, he was able to walk me through a checklist to get it to work, and now I have electricity again, just like magic. Thank you! read more

The plug on my Prius Plug-In broke, and I could no longer charge my car. All the dealer would offer was to replace the whole cable and plug for $840. After calling a number of electricians, I got Tom Lory. He was prompt calling back, friendly, flexible. He went and got the new part on his own time, showed up right on time, and did the work quickly and skillfully. Only charged $105, parts included!! I highly recommend him. read more

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE! Tom returned my call right away and came by my house later that day to access and discuss my project. He made some great suggestions to help me save money. When my ev charger arrived, he scheduled a time to install it the next day. His work was absolutely perfect. I couldn't be happier. Thanks Tom! HIGHLY Recommend Lory Electric for any electrical project or repair. read more

I messaged Tom a video of my lighting project. He answered multiple questions and explained how the project could be completed. Eventually, he said he would be able to do it, but that a lighting store would probably be easier for me. Even after he suggested that I go elsewhere, Tom researched a referral for me. It was so incredibly thoughtful, nice, and honest that he continued to help me even he sent me to another place of business - Above and beyond helpful! read more

Tom added an outlet for us that allows us to hook up our generator to our electrical panel. He did an excellent job at a fair price and stuck to his original estimate. He was very honest, responsive and a great communicator through the entire process. The county inspected his work today and also said he did a great job. Highly recommend him. read more

We lost power in the room where we have our WiFi. Prior to coming over Tom gave me a free tutorial on fixing it myself. He was in and out in 20 minutes and we were back in business. Tom's fee was very reasonable and he's the guy I'll call next time I need any electrical work. read more

Tom is a one-man outfit who specializes in installation of residential and commercial Level 2 (240V) charging stations in Marin County. We called him to put a Level 2 EV Charger at our house in Terra Linda. Called him on a Saturday and he came right out and surveyed our situation to give us a detailed estimate, which we received the next day (Sunday). The estimate was very reasonable and was a "not-to-exceed" bid, meaning that he'd charge us the lesser of the bid or the actual labor incurred. Once we agreed on the estimate, we ordered the charger he recommended and it was delivered on Tuesday evening. Wednesday AM he commenced the work. He worked all day and well into the evening Wednesday, even through a strong rainstorm. He also had to run conduit under our house, which was all muddy because of the recent storms, but he didn't complain and didn't dirty up our house either. He was almost complete by Wednesday night, but came back Thursday AM to finish up and instruct us on various issues. Throughout it all, Tom was professional and extremely good communicator and guided us through the process which was very new to us. I'd heartily recommend Lory Electric for any similar jobs. read more

I'm sure everyone in Marin has been gouged by a contractor or a contractor has tried to gouge them since we all in Marin are so rich. I contacted several electricians telling them I wanted pricing so that I can connect a generator to my home's electrical system rather than running a bunch of extension cords. Most of my estimates were between $2.5K and $3K, but Tom Lory quoted me between $600 and $700 and did a superb job as well as giving me priceless information about buying a generator. Tom is a friendly, personable guy, but more importantly he is a master electrician. And most importantly, he is honest! I highly recommend Tom as an electrician to anyone who has the need. read more

The collection of five-star ratings you see for Lory Electric are legit. We couldn't be more pleased with the service we've gotten from Tom. We're new homeowners and we've had him out for two major service visits since moving to Novato, one a planned visit to replace some old existing fixtures and one to replace a subpanel that had started to fail. Both times he was efficient, friendly, responsive, and diligent about respecting our home. Work quality is top-notch. He did a great job turning our boring storage attic into a lighted area that is now our daughter's art space. Prices were very reasonable each time. And to top it off he's been great about answering my questions about future projects. I hope we find a Tom in every other type of contractor we may need. read more

Today while cooking breakfast the electric stove stopped working. The oven was off, part of the kitchen and family room electricity and back yard lights all off. I called Lory Electric and left a message before work hours. Shortly I received a call back from Tom. I told him the problem and he took the time to walk me through the investigation process: turn off all breakers then back on, go look at the smart meter and see what is displayed. He figured out that the house wasn't getting enough electricity, and that it was not the homes wiring. He said to call PG&E. I called, they cane out quickly and found that their line to the house was corroded, which was fixed. I'm so grateful to Tom for taking his time to help me resolve this problem. I know that he could have come out to the house for a service fee to diagnose the problem. He was ethical and helpful. That is why I'm taking the time to write this yelp review. I never saw him in person, I didn't pay him anything, but he gave me his time and greatly needed help. If I ever need an electrician, I will call Lory Electric. Thank you Tom, I appreciate you! I hope you do well in your business: you deserve it. read more

Tom is a very professional and knowledgable electrician. He called me back in short order and was able to schedule me in after I am sure was a long day of work. He gave me several options for a hot tub connection, and a PG&E fix and was very honest and reasonable with his pricing. He wrote me up the estimate I had requested in a very timely manner and it laid out very nicely what his hourly rate was and the supplies he would need for the job. Tom will be on my shortlist for any future electrical work. read more

Tom's excellent! After presenting a minor electrical dilemma to Tom, he visited my house after hours to talk me through my problem and provide helpful options. Fair, up front and honest. He'll be my go to electrician going forward... read more

I had a great experience with Tom installing an EV charger. As this was my first EV charger installation, I didn't know everything to expect and Tom made it so easy. He was really responsive to both emails and calls, getting back to me no later than the next business day. He was really informative and had good advice about the various brands, what to look for when researching, and what made sense for my home. Taking care of the permitting process for me made things really easy on my end. I also really appreciated his transparency: his verbal estimate at the time of the consult was right in line with the quote and was definitely reasonable, especially for his attentiveness and the quality of the work. I definitely recommend Tom! read more

Tom is AMAZING! We live in an older house, our electrical system is either not properly functioning or out of code. We needed to install flood lights cameras/motion sensors. Although, Tom was off today, Saturday, and had plans to do other fun things. Tom was able to fit our small project into his day. After he finished the project, he came back and fixed other items for free, gave us tons of valuable advise. He was knowledgeable and efficient. His prices are beyond reasonable. We will definitely hire him again in a heart beat. Highly recommend Tom! read more

Tom is great. Excellent, high quality workmanship. He really goes the extra mile. Fair quoting/pricing. Very responsive. Very helpful in scheduling around my complicated calendar. Will definitely call again! read more

Great electrician. One man outfit. Very experienced & knowlegeable of circuits, codes, etc. Fair pricing, prompt visits. Has been extremely helpful, not only with actual work, but advice when I plunge in to a project myself. Estimates & invoices are detailed and accurate. I can easily depend on him to a job correctly and within budget. read more

Tom did an awesome job and, on short notice. He was quick and courteous. Finished, cleaned up and was very reasonable.

I called Tom as I purchased an electric vehicle and needed 240v installed in my garage. Tom came to my house the day I called and provided me with a quote and then applied for the permit the next day and was ready to start the job. Tom is fair, upfront and honest with exceptional communication skills. After the job was completed he told me to let him know when the final inspection would be for the city, so he could open up the electrical panel etc. for the inspector. I e-mailed Tom the night before and he showed up early and then returned again to close things up. If you need electrical work done, Tom is your man. I HIGHLY recommend him! read more

Tom was professional, knowledgeable, and polite from the moment we first talked about my needs for installing a charging station for my new 2017 Chevy Bolt. He visited my home soon after my initial call and his quote was presented quickly with clear details of pricing breakdowns. His goal was to do the job quickly as possible with the highest quality of work. He took the time to explain my options and give me several recommendations. I'm pretty damn picky when it comes to service. Tom did not disappoint. I look forward to using him for future electrical projects. read more

This was one of those experiences that give you back your faith. I called Tom for some system glitches I was having. I didn't expect him to be able to come over the same day, but he made time and did. He found the problem, which was incredible minor and charged me an incredibly minor fee. Look, it isn't always going to turn out to be as easy to fix as this was, but the fact that he found it quickly, didn't try to pretend it was anything more seriously and only charged me for the 20 minutes it actually took, plus the 9 miles he traveled made it clear to me that this the guy I could trust to call even if all hell breaks loose. Good guy to boot. Wish service calls would always turn out this way, but I found my electrician. read more

Excellent response time and professionalism! Look forward to working with Tom again! We had an emergency with the power to our entire house and Tom came within 2 hours of receiving my call! Thanks Tom! read more

I had a very positive experience with Lory Electric. Very fast and efficient in setting up a EV charging station at the house. Got us a quote quickly and got us on his books asap so we could get going. High level of integrity and solid professional manner. Highly recommend Tom for all your electrical needs. read more

Great guy. Great electrician. Honest. Dependable. Helped me upgrade a panel and prepare for an EV car charging system.

Tom did a fantastic job setting up an EV charging station at my house, doing a spa electrical connection and doing various in-home electrical work. He worked with the City to get all of the correct permits and used only top of the line components and equipment. He is efficient, honest, clean and does a first rate job. His prices are more than reasonable and he doesn't stop until the job is done right. I highly recommend him for any electrical work that you have or if you need to get an EV charging station installed at your house or place of business. read more

Very professional, honest quality work. Tom explains everything you want to know about electric car charging in terms any layman can understand. I purchased my first EV, and was confused by things like "level 1 charging, vs. "level 2", and "level 3" charging. Tom knew how to explain the differences in easy terms and didn't it take a long time either. I really thought level 3 charging would be great ("Fast DC charging"). However, it's not yet available for residential installations. For example, I didn't know how much electric charge my EV can actually utilize her hour and I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet or from other electricians. Tom knew because he was a contract electrician for BOSCH electric chargers when BMW contracted with BOSCH. Given his experience he knew things other electricians didn't. After comparing Bosch, Clipper Creek and BMW chargers ( I own a BMW i3,), I decided to go with Clipper Creek. Tom also went out of his way, he showed up the very same day we had our "electrical panel upgrade" done. This was very helpful because he was able to communicate with the upgrade electricians and he was able to assure it was configured correctly for the EV installation and it was more affordable for me. Within a day I had my level 2 electric car charging station installed exactly where I wanted it. Tom always had MY wallet in mind, and also made sure to install everything in a way that would hide the electrical wires wherever possible. If you are looking for a really experienced, yet affordable electrician who can also advise you in a way that focuses on your needs, Tom is absolutely the kind of person you would hope to find. read more
