Excellent work, excellent service and timely. Also, me being in the trades here in town his reputation among homeowners for service work is excellent. read more

We had an emergency circuit breaker situation on a Sunday afternoon. After leaving a message a reply was provided at 1030PM!! Randy returned my call first thing Monday AM and we scheduled a meeting for the same afternoon. The crew arrived right on time, assessed the situation and made the appropriate changes. This first class visit provided us with peace of mind at a fair price. Online billing and follow up to complete the project. Randy and crew were extremely professional and we have their contact info ready for future needs. Highly recommend! read more

We're very happy with the finished work and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled electrician. read more

Contacted them several times but never heard back from them regarding an estimate for electrical work. The guy who answers the phone seems friendly but he doesn't follow through. read more

Responsive and professional. Explained what the issue was well. They did great work, were friendly, and courteous. They also cleaned up after themselves. read more

Randy and team did a great job again. Came out to fix a celling light fixture that was not installed properly; they had to cut a hole in the celling and install a junction box. Randy's team arrived punctually as always and did the job quickly and left the room spotless. I will definitely use Mopia Electric for all my electrical needs. read more

Randy and team did it again. Came out to install a Tesla Wall Charger, pulled the permit, left our garage swept CLEANER than it was when his crew got here. The installation was super clean and the crew didn't even need to cut power to the house to install, and done in a few hours. Will definitely be coming to Randy for all things electrical. read more

Randy and his team were great. They assisted us with the installation of a Tesla home charger a few months ago. Randy was very knowledgeable and kind. The crew did a great job, were respectful of our home, and left the area clean upon completion. Their pricing was in the middle range but glad a spent a bit more for the quality! I'm sure we'll be reusing them as we take our home all electric. read more

A little back ground for the service that was provided. Iam converting from gas range to electric so I needed a 240 outlet. Other contractor wanted to run a conduit and run it along the outside of the house to the back then thru the kitchen. Customer care and doing it correctly. Randy, suggested a sub panel and run a 40 Amp thru the stucco into the garage, subpanel then up inside the walls to the attic then drop down to the kitchen. Cleaner look. Minimal hole and they patch the sheet rock. Randy, even found and corrected a sketchy wiring installed in my main panel. Work was completed fast and outcome was great. "Happy wife Happy life"? Highly recommend... read more

Randy and the team installed a 220v/40A circuit for us back in 2020. Easy ton work and schedule and friendly getting the job done. Had a follow on question and he managed to come and check on something for us with very short notice, appreciate it Mopia Electric! read more

Thank you Randy, for being such a generous and kind person! Randy spent 10min on the phone with me, explaining fuse box replacements and discussing quotes I received from other electricians, even though he doesn't work in my area and will never make any money from me! It was so helpful to know why I was getting one $2000 quote and several $5000 quotes for what I thought was the same thing; it turns out the amps (100 vs 200) makes a huge difference! read more

Randy and his team did an excellent job. We had electrical panels that could cause a fire and were in need of replacement; not only did he handle this enormous task, but he addressed many other electrical tasks: install security lights, add an electrical switch to an existing outdoor light, install dedicated lines/plugs for two air-conditioning units, install recessed lights in our kitchen and remove the old track lighting. And the list goes on. Randy and his team were very punctual and were always there to answer my many questions. They were very diligent about protecting all my plants and furniture, and they left the place spotless before heading home. Randy and his team are very personable and easy to get along with. I highly recommend Mopia Electric. read more

Randy and his team are reliable, experienced, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. His team did not disappoint our expectations, and ensured that we passed all County inspections.

My family and I would 100% recommend Randy and his team. read more

This review is for the second time we worked with Randy and his team. We asked him to install a charging system for our electric car. Randy was great at walking me through the process from purchasing the charger, placement of the charger in our garage, and explaining how to use the settings correctly. We are very happy with his work. Thank you. read more

This rating is primarily regarding responsiveness and follow-up. Randy seems like a nice guy, he came out and reviewed my request for an EV charger to be installed. He even said he'd contact a friend about some options for my installation scenario. However, there was never any follow-up. I attempted to contact Randy multiple times without any response, I assume he simply isn't interested, which is fine, but just let me know so I can make other arrangements. read more

Randy and his crew went above and beyond. They were thorough and efficient. This isn't the first time I've used Mopia Electric and it probably won't be the last. I'm a satisfied customer. read more

Mopia Electric - EV Charger mounted to wall and plugged into NEMA 14-50 outlet. - Electricians Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Renovating a 80+ year old house that was never updated, I needed entire house rewire, panel upgrade, along with a ton of new lights. Although we have a little work left (mostly PG&E's work), I couldn't wait to put some good words out there because we just LOVED Randy and the team... For one thing, they are simply great people. I enjoyed going to the site to meet them for the last 3 weeks. Any question, Randy will explain in detail. I learned a ton about electrical around the house! And their work quality is superb. Passed the inspection with flying colors, that says a lot. Randy always made sure to get my feedback on the work and that I am happy with the result. They are also the cleanest and tidiest crew I've ever seen, and that's reflected in their work. Precise and clean. And competitive pricing! Best thing about Mopia electric is that Randy is super easy to communicate with, so it made the whole process a breeze. Rewiring involved a lot of small and big decisions than I thought. How many lights, location of lights, location of switches, etc., I often had to explain how I want certain things, and Randy just gets it. 100% recommend them, especially if it's a big, complicated job like rewire. read more

Randy and his crew were excellent. After speaking briefly with Randy by phone about my project I shared specs and my requirements via text. Randy was able to fit me in later the same week. The team arrived on time assessed what was needed. When they realized that they needed a much taller ladder they left and returned a short while later snd began the work. He kept me appraised of each step and the replaced old plastic canisters with much stronger metal ones to support the heavier more modern chandeliers I'd chosen. The estimation of time required was correct and I appreciated the cleanup. They left my home looking the way they found it. Great job! read more

Mopia Electric - Installing dining room chandelier - Electricians Near Me - Castro Valley, California

I had to upgrade my home from the old knob and tube wiring - this is a huge undertaking and I had a lot of trepidation in looking for the right electrician. Lucky for me I found Mopia Electric. Randy and his crew are THE BEST! Prompt, punctual, and very professional. Randy does it all from A-Z, handling the permits and inspections and ensuring that his work is aligned with what the homeowner wants. His crew is VERY clean - we lived in the house during this upgrade, and the team worked with us, upgrading one room at a time and cleaning up after themselves every day. Randy also communicates very well - he provided regular status updates and made sure we understood any challenges he came across and he always had a way to work through them. We knew what the project plan and timeline would be going into the project, and he was true to the deadline. Randy Mopia really does take care of his clients. I HIGHLY recommend him! He knows his stuff, and you can rest assured that the work will be done correctly. Because of this upgrade, my home looks and feels beautiful, and more importantly - I have peace of mind knowing that the electrical system is SAFE. Thank you so much, Randy and team! read more

Just wrapped up a project with Randy and his team. They added recessed lighting, a bathroom vent fan, and an EV charger outlet to our home. From the initial estimate visit, to the completion of the project it has been a pleasure working with the team at Mopia electric. Randy is thorough, knowledgable, punctual, and personable. He explained in great detail what our home would need for this project, and ensured that everything would be up to proper code. If you are looking for an electrician who is honest, dependable, and easy to work with look no further than this crew. Highly recommend!! read more

Randy and his team were phenomenal. This review is late, but we just finished our most recent job with them and I thought it was time to leave a review. Mopia Electric has: 1. Upgraded our house amperage, tying in new electrical to an outdated system and getting all city approvals/permits etc in about 50% of the time other electricians quoted. 2. Installed new exterior wiring for outdoor ring cams 3. Re-did our interior electrical panel including adding new lines for various areas that were constantly over drawing 4. Level II 2 car charger 5. Latest - he redid our kitchen wiring for a kitchen update when the old wiring wouldn't suffice for newer appliances. I think my favorite things about working with Randy is that he communicates extremely well and delivers to the exact promises he makes. His quotes are fair and did not change during the project even when scope changed or he encountered unexpected challenged. His team is very clean and courteous. read more

Former employee - I worked for Mopia Electric for a few years. One of the best electrical companies I've worked for, quality and code is always on point. Good environment to learn and grow everyday is something new. I'd hire Randy to wire my house if I didn't know how to myself lol. 5 star company furesure. read more

Recently Mopia Electric upgraded my service panel and consolidated outdated sub panels at my residence. Randy was very responsive to my request and kept me in the loop I all phases of the job. The work was carried out very thoroughly and professionally. Randy is very hands on and involved in carrying out all aspects of the project. read more

I've had a somewhat major electrical upgrade on my list of to-dos for quite some time, and connected with a number of different contractors through Yelp before selecting Mopia. Randy came for an initial review and pointed out some things, and then offered his team to come out for a deep exploratory review for an hour to give me a more detailed estimate, the cost of which would then apply to any work they did for me in the future. Since I wasn't entirely sure what needed to be done, I hired him for the hour. In that hour, I knew that I should go with him - his team was thorough, documented everything, and Randy explained what was to code and what wasn't, and why. This information armed me when I was evaluating the other estimates as well. I found his pricing more than fair for the amount of work that was involved. Randy and his team were on time, thorough, careful, friendly, clean, and blasted through my large project in two days. At any point where there was a decision, I was brought out to look at the issue, align on a solution, and approve any deviation from the original estimate. He sent me text message reminders that his team was coming. I would definitely hire Randy and his team again. Thank you, Mopia Electric! read more

Randy and team just upgraded the panel to our home we recently purchased. Mopia Electric handled all of the permitting and communications with the inspector and PG&E; we did not have to lift a finger. They also recently re-wired our home-office which was needed. This is hands-down THE only company that will be doing all other electrical work in our home. read more

Our electric meter and panel was burnt overnight, and we had no electricity when we woke up. I called Mopia Electric (Randy) and told them my situation and they immediately sent people over to my place to start checking on it. From the time of the call in the morning until they finish replacement, all it took was 1 afternoon. The replacement included changing a completely new electric pipe through the roof and changing the entire electric panel while adding a couple ground wires to ensure that our electricity will run with no problem. If you live in Castro Valley / Alameda County, these are the guys to call for any electrical problems. read more

We've worked with Randy a number of times now and have loved each interaction and especially his quality of work. He's informative when planning and delivering the electrical work. Also creative when it comes to making the wires/pipes/lines hidden and safe and/or ascetically pleasing to the eye. He's timely and keeps you posted on expectations, timelines, costs, and/or potential concerns. A local business owner that we absolutely love working with. We highly recommended his expertise and service. read more

Randy and his crew were amazing. I hired them for a project a couple years ago to install electricity in my garage. They did a great job and even prewired areas where I was planning to eventually install a future outlet. A few years later, I had contacted them again and they were able to come out and complete a small job. The team at Mopia are professional, knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to providing advice. I would highly recommend their services! read more

I was up against the clock on the punch list for my final inspection deadline on my room addition and remodel. Mopia Electric was recommended my several neighbors. Randy was able to accomodate my needs quickly. He and his crew were friendly, helpful, and following appropriate protocol for Covid-19. They worked quickly and efficiently, and cleaned up nicely after. Randy's crew explained the problem and the solution, which I really appreciate. Even came back quickly when I found another issue. I was pleased to hear he lives in my neighborhood. I like to hire local. I highly recommend Mopia Electric. read more

Long-delayed review for an outstanding job. We had our whole house rewired in the fall to bring our 1937 firetrap up to date. Randy is a great communicator, gave us a very fair price, and was a delight to work with. The Mopia team was respectful, tidy, and skilled. We are delighted to have consistent and safe power and a bunch of new, more energy-efficient light fixtures. Great experience all around. read more

Summer of 2022 Randy and his lovely team did a full house rewire of my 1920s bungalow. I accidentally ended up with four estimates, and Mopia electric was smack in the middle cost-wise. But what really sold me were all the reviews talking about whole house rewires. The 5 star reviews are totally warranted. Mopia Electric is super professional, incredibly reliable, and does high quality work. I absolutely recommend them, and will continue to work with them! read more

Randy and his team were on time and meant business! The scope of my job kept changing (because we kept changing what we wanted), but Randy took it all in his stride and worked to give us the best deal he could. Randy really knows his stuff (the pg&e fellow complimented his work), and I'm sure we'll work with him on the next stage of our home renovation. Thanks Randy! read more

Update to my earlier review: Randy came out to my house tonight at 7:00pm to discuss options for my project. He interrupted his dinner to drive to my house. He was super friendly & knowledgeable and gave me a lot of options. I plan on calling Randy back for an issue with my circuit breaker on my dryer. I have changed my review to 5 Stars for Mopia Electric. I would definitely recommend that you call Randy at Mopia Electric for your electrical needs. read more

Randy is a great guy. Easy, clear and responsive. He's a straight shooter with a nice personality. He's clear on the work he'll be doing and honest about the job when he's doing it. He keeps you updated on the spot of the work. He's efficient and did not waste anytime in getting the job done. He's got guys working with him to allow for a quicker process. The job he did was on our kitchen sink outlet. The garbage disposal was not properly getting power only because we were using a faulty extension which loosed up the outlet female connection. He troubleshoot the issue and his guys went ahead and replaced the outlet with a new one, switched the wiring positions between the GB and dishwasher and blammmm it's working again. All in under 45 minutes. The work is quality and you get what you pay for. I just wished he took my CC, I almost forgot where I had my checkbook and how to write one. read more

Charged $250 to come out & do an estimate. Seemed knowledgeable & friendly, but decided against doing the work with them.

Randy and his team completed a whole house rewire and panel upgrade at our place in Castro Valley over the summer of 2021. They were extremely patient with all our questions, were sensitive to our schedules, and did quality work. We had a small issue recently and Randy called back right away and fixed walked us through the fix over FaceTime. We would definitely hire them for future electrical work. read more

I have hired Mopia Electric a few times to do re-wiring for my home. He helped me with dedicated lines for my garage and my backyard. Great work and very professional crew. He is usually my "Go To" guy for anything I need electricial for my home. read more

I messaged Mopia about a partial outage at my house and he called me back promptly to say that he had an emergency that he was on already. He further recommended that from what I described, I should call PG&E first before spending money on an electrician. He was correct and one of my feeds from PG&E went down. His promptness and honesty has gained a customer in me! read more
