We had two GFCI's trip last week. Decided this wasn't a simple DIY project, so contacted Elect…read moreElectric upon referral by AM Sun Solar (which has also done quality work for us). Based on this experience, we'll be calling them again as the need arises. From initial contact through completion of work, they were thoughtful, attentive to detail, offered very clear communication and worked in a timely fashion. A human being answered the phone, which was a great first sign. She listened to our issue, asked for further details, and provided that information to the electrician who came out. We received e-mail and text from dispatch letting us know when Danny was on his way. It included a photo of him so we'd recognize him upon arrival (in case the clearly marked work truck didn't give it away). Upon arrival, Danny read back the information he'd received, which enabled us to move ahead with the project rather than spend time explaining it all over again. He located a third plug we hadn't even known had not only tripped, but melted down - plug, wiring, and on up into the wall. (We were lucky we didn't lose our house.) In short order, Danny had replaced all three GFCIs, replaced the burnt wiring and connected them in a manner which may be safer in future (no idea what original installer was thinking) and made suggestions at our request for some future upgrades to the system here. The work ran us more than a grand, which wasn't sweet, but we felt like we got professional work in a timely fashion.

I needed to have a repair to some 12 volt porch lighting. I spent $350 on a service call to assess…read morethe problem. I understood that would be deducted from the $1,000+ estimate for the repair if I decided to ok the repair the same day. When I called that afternoon to go ahead and schedule the service, I was told the $350 would not be deducted because I hadn't ok'd it during the service visit. I will find a more reasonable electrician to do the repair.

Dear Modern Electronics,…read more After calling several places and receiving multiple quotes, long timelines, and very little help, I finally spoke with Jimmy at Modern Electronics, who was incredibly helpful and very impressive. As it turned out, he even knew someone from my past, which made the experience feel even more personal. The very next day, he showed up with four trucks and completed the work perfectly. Everything was done efficiently, quickly, and with real professionalism. I truly couldn't be more grateful for how smoothly everything was handled. Jimmy went above and beyond, and I'm extremely thankful for his help and the outstanding service. Thank you.- Ron Leibowitz

Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience with this electrician. We called and they sent…read moresomeone out right away to take a look at the job and give us a quote. This job included changing out our electrical panel, and we were fine with the quote and started the process. We reached out every week or 10 days to find out what was going on with the process, as he stated they needed to pull permits and work with PG&E. Nearly 6 weeks later we were trying to get clarity on where we were in the process, and the electrician suddenly became irate and confrontive: "Was I not clear?" I stated I didn't understand where we were in the process and what was next, and he then said, "I'm canceling this job." We lost six weeks due to waiting for this guy and now have to start over looking for another electrician. I really don't understand why he felt the need to treat us that way. I'm not willing to beg someone and put up with this kind of behavior to get someone to do work for me. However, I'm super glad to find out that he was this confrontational and unstable before he actually started working on my house. After all, you really need to be able to trust your electrician.

Kelly replaced and upgraded the ancient electrical panels and service on my elderly mom's home in…read morePalo Alto in late 2025/early 2026. 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.
