I had an outlet in the house that would randomly lose power. It was determined that my electrical panel was the cause and needed to be replaced. Aaron clearly explained what needed to happen, why, and next steps. Throughout the process, he continually communicated with me and coordinated the work with SMUD. Because of the age of the panel, the electrical system needed to be brought up to code. Aaron had no problem handling the updates and my requests to make adjustments to improve the cosmetic appearance of those required code updates. Yes, a new panel is an expense that one doesn't look forward to!! Let's face it.. it just sits on your wall, we walk past it without bragging, like we would with a new barbeque... "oh, wow! look at that beautiful electrical panel," and we don't think about it until something happens and then we realize how important it is on a daily basis. But the reality is that how often do you really replace your panel?? 25-50+ years. My thought is that it needs to be done right so it will work correctly and endure for a very long time and that might cost a little bit more but I would rather have a professional than a fly by night electrician. Aaron was there when he said he would be, finished the job in one day, made a clean install, cleaned up the work area, and provided a power unit so the house would have some temporary power for the house computer while the work was being done. I have since called Aaron back to look into fixing some faulty wiring from a patio cover installer. Aaron is now my go-to electrician! read more

I had wanted to replace the 8 foot florescent shop light in my garage with some LED shop lights. I saw Costco had some on sale the other day, so I bought 4 of them (great lights by the way). I called Pi Electric and asked them to rewire the hardwired light to a "plug in" box so that I could plug in these new light and operate them with the same switch that the old light was operated by. Aaron and Zack came out, looked at what I wanted to do, made a few suggestions as to how they could do the set up, which were better ideas then I had. After agreeing on what needed to be done, they went to Home Depot and got the parts, came back and got busy rewiring and installing the lights. As they got started , my wife came out to the garage and asked if Aaron knew anything about plumbing and if he did, could he come look at a couple of sinks she wanted to replace the stopper mechanism on. After looking and listening to what she wanted he again drove to Home Depot to get the parts he needed to replace the stoppers with, while Zack continued installing the electrical. Aaron came back and did a great job changing out the stoppers, while Zack did a great job finishing up the install in the garage. I now have a very brightly lit garage and a very happy wife with her new stoppers. I must say that Aaron and Zack are two of the nicest guys I have had come do work at my house. I would use them again anytime and I would highly recommend the to anyone. read more

Unprofessional, Unreliable & Disrespectful! Unfortunately we did not have a favorable experience with Aaron & Pi Electric. Phase 1 of our needs was to move our panel & phase 2 would have been internal work, but didn't happen because we had many issues with this company. A portion of the work done had to be redone due to SMUD not approving, stating it wasn't to their code & according to him was a "waste of our time & money". Adding to our frustrations, we were also not treated or spoken to respectfully. Dogs were brought to our house & allowed to play, bark & pee in the front yard; A very young child was brought, twice! Once after being told earlier she was sick, yet she was allowed to run around outside & inside, then they left in an 'uncomfortable manner', and then surprisingly was brought a 2nd time when he finally showed up for our appt to re-talk about phase 2. Despite the issues during phase 1 we had decided to give Aaron another chance, but the unprofessionalism continued. He missed & rescheduled the appt for phase 2, but then after the appt he didn't bother to give us the bid or contact us. Several calls were made to give him opportunity to make it right, yet none were answered or returned. We had chosen PiElectric & were willing to pay more because we wanted to choose a local company. However, this choice was very disappointing! read more

Would definitely call on Aaron again! We needed some ceiling lights installed in two of the bedrooms in our house. I explained to Aaron over the phone what we wanted done, and he was very helpful, gave me a firm price for what it would cost for each room, and advised me on the type of fixtures to get. He was able to schedule me within a few days and was flexible about the time that worked for me. He arrived right on time, brought the dimmer switches we had talked about and even some high quality dimmable light bulbs. He was very nice and courteous and maintained a great attitude even when the wiring in our house was a bit challenging and he encountered a problem with one of the lights I had purchased. It had a defect in the wire and shorted out, damaging one of the dimmer switches. He repaired the wire in the light so that it was usable, and went back to Home Depot to get another dimmer switch. It ended up taking a couple hours longer than what he was planning but he didn't change his price for the installation. I insisted on paying for the additional switch, and he also brought some spray on wall texture and caulking to repair the squares he had cut out of the wall to run the wire. He caulked them back in nicely for me before he left, even though he was running late. It is so nice to have light in our rooms now! Thank you Aaron!! read more

After reading many of the five-star reviews here, We decided to give Pi Electric & Solar a try. The hype is all true, and we have an electrician for life! Aaron gets five-stars across the board. He responded to our call and was at our house within the hour! He quickly diagnosed & fixed the problem having the whole issue resolved in two hours. He patiently explained everything and answered all our questions. Aaron suggested that we add an additional outlet in our garage. Both my husband and I were having health issues so we decided to wait. A few weeks later we called Aaron to come out and do everything he had suggested. Outstanding attention to the job! He even gave us a senior discount, which was very much appreciated! Have an electrical issue? Hire Pi Electric. In Sacramento, fire safety and electrical system integrity are incredibly important. Aaron will give you great peace of mind.I wouldn't hesitate to call him again and have given his name out several times to friends and family should they ever need any electrical/solar work done in the future. read more

I bought an older rental home that had strange wiring issues due to the way it was constructed and work done to it by a prior owner. I needed a company that could solve non-obvious, complex wiring issues. Aaron and Matt from Pi Electric and Solar were the perfect choice. They worked hard and fast. Crawling through cramped attic spaces, opening junction boxes, and meticulous trouble shooting were no problem at all. They were also affordable. I definitely received my money's worth. The job was done professionally, thoroughly, and flawlessly over the course of two days. What I really appreciated was the extra time and effort they took to explain to me (a layman) what was going on and what was causing the issues. Both Aaron and Matt from Pi Electric and Solar exceeded my expectations and I am a very satisfied customer. I highly recommend. read more

Kudos(!) to Aaron and Chuck for bringing my 30+ year-old home up to current and safe standards! The overloaded circuits in my home was a "potential accident waiting to happen"... I contacted them after reading the positive Yelp reviews due gnawing concerns with my inability to efficiently run electrical connections throughout my home done individually by handymen over the years I have owned my home. Aaron and Chuck did not disappoint! Even supported my having the work done in stages on to coincide with my personal budget timeline. And more importantly, felt as though having them in my home akin to having trusted family members do the updates. I recommend their professional services and expertise highly! read more

Stop reading this and just call PI Electric Now! We were going to have some motorized roll-up doors installed at our warehouse and needed to run power to them. We called a few electricians and since none were able to come through it put us in a real time crunch because it was supposed to be done before the new doors went in. We gave Aaron a call and Matt and him were here the same day. They came back the next morning and had it done despite their busy schedule. It was a pleasure working with them. If you want quality service, want to work with great people, and competitive rates, choose Pi. -Northgate Cargo Control Team www.northgatecargo.com read more

Aaron and his crew (Chuck and Zack) recently swapped out our vintage circuit breaker box on our home. Aaron coordinated all activities with the electric provider and the county inspection folks. Pi Electric provided a generator to keep our furnace working during the chilly day. The family did not even need to leave the house during the activities. Being a general contractor, the team was able to finish off the unit to blend in with our existing siding, Within five hours the project was completed, inspected and tested. Aaron is always responsive to texts, calls and emails. I recommend these folks to anyone. Mike K Fair Oaks, CA read more

When we called Aaron from PI Electric & Solar, we were desperately in need of somebody who not only can repair our GFI/circuit breaker, but to fix our non-working electronic/automatic PET DOOR, as well. Voila! Aaron came to our rescue -- our dilemma solved! He's flexible, friendly, courteous, and he's an excellent electrician. After he repaired the GFI/circuit breaker, he took the time to look at our electronic pet door at our request. We were so elated when the pet door was up & running. True to his word, he stated he likes to help people -- the quote was on spot and we would definitely use his service again. Thank you, Aaron. read more

I called several electrical contractors and they were all too busy and didn't have any time to help us. A late night call was made and I was able to get a hold of Aaron at Pi Electric. Half my house was without power and he came out the next morning for an estimate. Aaron displayed the utmost professionalism and honesty. He made the necessary repairs to get the power back on and gave us an estimate to replace our existing Zinsco panel. We will definitely hire Pi Electric in the future and refer him to all our family and friends. Another bonus is that he is an Orangevale local! read more

These people are awesome! I had to deal with a very awkward situation with a difficult tenant, but the professional electricians at Pi Electric got the job done on my rental property in record time, without bothering the tenant. They were respectful and friendly -- and they put up with poorly-trained dogs, who kept jumping up on us. I give them my highest recommendation. I admit to being a thrifty person (OK, I'm a cheapskate), so I am pleased to say that Pi Electric was affordable and their price was about the same as I had paid for similar work several years ago. read more

Our 30-year-old electrical panel couldn't handle a power surge that left it only partially functional. I contacted Aaron and two other firms for estimates. Aaron was out that day and after hearing from one of the others, I confirmed with him and he immediately started on getting the necessary permits. He and crew member Josh arrived promptly on the scheduled day and had the old panel changed out with a much higher quality panel in less than seven hours. Fair price. Outstanding quality. Thanks Aaron. read more

We hired Pi Electric & Solar to instal solar on our home. Aaron took the time to explain the step by step process and kept things clean around our home. We are very happy with our solar installation. Will definitely being calling for future electrical needs! Fantastic. Thanks again Aaron 6/5/18 We just hired Aaron to install ceiling fans in our home. Zack and Aaron did a great job and installed 4 fans in 1 day. They kept their workspace clean. Great job again! read more

My wife & I just had our main electrical panel replaced by Aaron from Pi Electric. Not only was it replaced quickly & conveniently, Aaron informed us that we had some fused breakers in the old panel & therefore our homeowners insurance could help with the cost due to the potential danger & the insurance company agreed. We paid a fraction of the overall cost needless to say. So thanks a lot all around Pi Electric for your excellent & so, so, helpful expertise. read more

The guys at Pi Electric are awesome! We were looking for someone to change our main electrical panel and a trusted friend gave us this referral. They came out to take a look and hands down had the best quote. They were fast, friendly, and efficient. There are many contractors in my family, so I appreciate working with an electrician that was knowledgeable and had affordable rates. I would use them again in a heartbeat! read more

We had our sub panel and main panel replaced with Pi Electric. The main panel was put in a new location so this work had to be coordinated with both the County and SMUD. Aaron was excellent to work with along the way. Communication was great and he was easy to get ahold of. He coordinated the different inspections and everything was done on time. His price was reasonable as well. Highly recommended. read more
