We have had Shane's team do four projects for us over the years: 1. Replace our electric panel that was an unsafe aluminum one called out in the inspection 2. Set us up with an interlock and portable generator inlet 3. When we were ready to upgrade, put in a transfer switch and standby generator 4. Add interlock and inlet to our rental property Service and communication has always been top notch. When we did look for competitive bids, SE came in with great price - and with no surprises at the end! Would strongly recommend! read more

Shane and his team are amazing. Purchased a generator and ATS three years ago and was very pleased. Purchased a new home earlier this year and called him for another generator. The new house had existing solar, three panels, circuits that were tripping randomly. They sorted everything out, got the new system installed cleaning and rerouted circuits to leverage the solar system and provide backup on the generator. The team is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend S. E. Electric to anyone looking for a reliable community-based electrical company who is truly committed to helping customers in need! Specifically, I was introduced to Shane Ellet, owner of S. E. Electric, after I lost my house caused by the 2020 CZU Lightning Fire. And, over the years, as I was going through this painstaking process, Shane and his team have been so supportive, efficient, and effective in addressing all my electrical and generator needs. Shane's attention to details has far surpassed my expectations! Moreover, I was so even more impressed with the S. E. Electric team's meticulous detail, professionalism, kindness, and understanding! All I can say is that I am humbly grateful for S. E. Electric - a company that performs, a company that is knowledgeable and skilled, and a company that truly cares about addressing community needs! Thank you, S. E. Electric! read more

-We needed to put in a component between our outlet and a plug that would go to a hot tub. Shane came out to look and advised that it would be safer and more functional for the wiring of the whole house to put in a new line just for the hot tub. The hot tub store had said just to put the box on the existing outlet, but we learned from Nate on Shane's team that this could cause a breaker to trip unpredictably. Nate and Jackson were so courteous and considerate of our household, and Nate explained how the wiring in our house is set up (it is funky) in detail. He recommended a new breaker box but did not push for it. Jackson combat-crawled under the house without complaint. For a little extra money, they spackled the dry wall that they had to remove. Without me asking him to do so, Nate measured the area where the hot tub (which isn't here yet) would go to make sure that the hot tub cord would reach the outlet. All of this was done very quickly and quietly, and then Nate made sure that I knew how to use the box and what to do in the event of a power outage. They looked in another room where the lights sometimes flicker and explained what was probably happening. Jackson spotted a loose screw and tightened it. All in all, all three, Shane, Nate, and Jackson were definitely very professional, customer-oriented and extremely knowledgeable. read more

Shane and his team did a great job with our panel improvement, reasonable cost, clean install and good coordination with the utility and the county. read more

Just wow! I could not be happier we called them! Out of the blue our bedroom electrical just blacked out! With a baby due any day you can imagine how worried we were speculating what the problem and cost might be. We called this morning and a technician was here by the early afternoon! He was so nice and stepped us through the process and the problem. Annnnd had it fixed quickly! What a relief!! Thank you Cree (sorry I'm probably butchering the spelling!) and SE Electric! We will be calling for any and all of our future needs! read more

Shane and crew have been literally fantastic for us for everything from fixture changes to panel replacement to whole house automatic generator install. We use them for everything we can. read more

I can't recommend Shane and his team enough. Since moving to Boulder Creek, they've helped us with at least half a dozen electrical issues, both big and small. They communicate professionally and quickly, super friendly team, reasonable prices, and all-around great folks to work with. read more

Shane is an amazing electrician. I'm a local general contractor in Boulder Creek and the only person that I hired to do my electrical is SE electric Shane knows his stuff I don't have to stand over him all day he does what he says he's going to do and he does everything up to code if you're looking for an electrician that can handle every phase of your job this is the guy I am very happy to say that he is my electrician and I will not hire anybody else. Every time Shane does a job for me his work is clean and he goes above and beyond to make sure that every job is completed fully before moving on these are all things that bring value to a company like his and also to any contractor read more

Love these guys. I hired them for several jobs in my funky 80-year-old Boulder Creek cabin. Others I've hired have been daunted by the ancient DIY wiring and other stuff around here, but Shane and his crew are experienced and didn't blink an eye. They just fixed stuff and made it all safer. A crew ended up being here most of the day and they were professional and friendly. One of them even went so far as to ask if my dog would be OK when they ran the vacuum to clean up some odds and ends. I'll definitely recommend them to friends and expect I'll have them back to do more stuff as needed. read more

SE Electric came to hang a heavy chandelier and repair a few outlets in my home. I was very satisfied with the whole transaction. The owner is professional and informative and his work crew was the same. They were all so polite. Oh!, and did I mention that they clean up after themselves. I will be a return customer for sure. read more

SE Electric is our go-to company for all of our electrician needs. I needed an electrician fast to come out to help assess my Septic pump issue. Shane was recommended to me by my favorite plumber. I was told he was a standup, great guy who did really good and honest work. I immediately called Shane at SE Electric and also sent him a follow up text due to the urgency. Shane got back to me right away and was able to come by the very next day. Shane was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant to talk to, and very honest and forth coming with what he needed to do and what the price was going to be. His prices are very fair. Shane does exceptional work and I would recommend him to anyone in need of electrical work. I will definitely use him again in the future and will be recommending him to others in the future. Thank you Shane! read more

I recently selected SE Electric to install a whole-home backup generator and am extremely pleased with the results. First, Shane and his crew were very conscientious about COVID-19 safety during the initial visit and subsequent work. Second, the written proposal that I received was clear and with enough detail that I knew exactly was I would be getting. A competing bid had no detail whatsoever, just a price and a generator capacity, not even the generator model. Third, Shane provided options for cost saving, clearly discussed pros and cons of certain options, and displayed a good understanding of my needs. And finally, the work was executed with excellence in a timely manner. Shane's team was polite, professional, careful. I feel that I received an excellent system at a fair price. So, PG&E, bring on the Public Safety Power Shutdowns! We are ready!!!! read more

SE electric has been so great to work with. They are great communicators and were able to fix some work from a previous electrician as well as help me trouble shoot some problems over the phone. I highly recommend them! read more

I wish that EVERY business was run the way Shane runs his company. This team is extremely responsive, always on time, super friendly, and exceptionally good at what they do. We have had quite a bit of work done on our house and Shane's crew has consistently gone above and beyond for us. I wouldn't hire anyone else. read more

Since my first review, SE Electric has come to our home several times for various projects. Still the same excellent service, great workers, and cost effective.

You will not be disappointed so stop looking for another electrical company, you just found the best one in the area. read more

Shane and the crew at SE electric were great. Fast communication, competitive quote, friendly, and our living room recessed lighting turned out excellent. Plus they were very fast! Will use again and highly recommended! read more

This is a way overdue review. I first called Shane a couple years ago when my main panel fried two days before labor day weekend. He graciously rescheduled his other work and came over right away. As I headed to the county building to pull a pull a permit he called PG+E to shut off the line, actually new the lineman, and started the work. The next morning he was back with a new panel, wired it up and we had the county inspector (Shane new him too) there signing it off at noon. I was amazed to have everything fall into place so quickly and finished on the Friday of a three day weekend! Fast forward a year, and it was time for a kitchen remodel and Shane and his great crew of Austin, and Shannon re wired the kitchen, installed a sub panel, hung lights, a new ceiling fan, exhaust fan, and much more. I felt very safe leaving them in my house while I went to work every day and they gave me great suggestions as we proceeded. Shane even referred a carpenter to me for some other work that was needed and that worked out very well too. read more

I have used Shane from a number of jobs on my house. From wiring my master bath during a remodel, wiring a room addition to wiring recessed lights throughout my house. He does a great job and his pricing is great. Shane works fast and is very clean. I recommend him to all my friends and neighbors in the Santa Cruz area. read more

Showed up when he said he would, was so polite and easy to work with! Gave a great price to trench and run electrical to a separate area. Its hard to find dependable people up in the mountains, he was fantastic!! Nice and honest! Will be using him for all our electrical needs!! read more

Shane and his team are so good! I needed to replace some horrible light fixtures in my new house, so I called SE Electric. They're local, professional, fast, and they know what they're doing. Shane and his helper Chad showed up at exactly 8AM, just like they'd said they would. Chad got to work right away, and had everything done before noon, even with some unexpected work (and a trip into town for some extra parts) thrown in. Price is right, quality is great. I'm thinking of adding a ceiling light in one of the other rooms, and would not hesitate to call SE Electric to come do that work for me. Thanks, Shane! read more

An electrical problem popped up here yesterday. It took a while to figure out whom to call. When SE Electric arrived today, Austin quickly diagnosed what was needed, went and got a part, and fixed the problem, all at a reasonable cost. I'm very pleased. read more

Shane and his team were professional, speedy, and very reasonable cost! Highly recommend their work. We needed to install an EV charger in our garage by Dec 31. Problem: we waited till Dec 8th to get quotes. Everyone else said not till January (or later). We had a few of them still come out for quotes, cuz we thought we'd missed our deadline. Shane's team came to the RESCUE! When his initial email got no response, he took initiative: Called me the next morning (Sat 12/10), in person consult M (12/12), prompt written quote on same day with the 3 options we discussed, and by the following M (12/19) was working on sight. He was great in sharing his expertise. They were the only election of our 3 consults who gave us the option of installing a 2nd sub-panel. They kept the wiring neat and hidden under our house (others planned to cut through drywall). All at a cost that beat the competition. The subpanel was a bit more than wiring only, but will give us more options for the future. They even gave advise on permitting but let us save money by doing owner-construction permits. If you need electrical work, give him a call. You're bound to be IMPRESSED! read more

Good people, no one is perfect. Boulder Creek needs more businesses here, happy that they are located in BC. They try there best and make it right when something goes wrong. They are booked way out, great if you can get them. read more

Our electricity was flickering and surging. It actually fried several of our electronics including my sons Xbox. We went to generator back up for several days as I looked high and low for an electrician. I called several in my area of which either didn't answer their phone or gave me the "We cant help " line. I finally found, on yelp, a number for SE - and to my surprise they answered the phone. Shane listen to my issue and was very understanding and helpful. He very professionally let me know that they were backed up for at least 3 weeks but gave me the number of another electrician. After contacting the referred guy he was at my house within 30 minutes assessing the problem and 10 minutes later he had the problem fixed and charged me next to nothing. Thanks SE for caring enough to refer someone who would be considered your competition. Two thumbs up for professionalism, caring and integrity. read more

I've had SE Electric out to my home around half a dozen times since moving into the area, having them work on basic wiring and light switches, running power through for a Ring Pro video door bell, and most recently replacing my main electrical panel. Each time I've been very happy with the work done by these professional group of guys. read more
