Carlos was very accommodating schedule-wise, gave me the info to order appropriate the 220V EV outlet, and then arrived to install it (reconfiguring the previous location to avoid the proximity to a gas pipe that a previous electrician had incorrectly chosen). Reasonable price. read more

Carlos is awesome! He came to check my outside light fixture and replaced the light bulbs for me. I used lightbulbs that I had on hand. He communicated by text with me as to his availability, and let me know of his ETA for today's appointment. He said that my light fixture was fine and safe to operate. His price was very reasonable. I plan on having him install my Christmas lights for the holidays. He takes Zelle, which was very convenient for me. It was a pretty simple task, but I wanted to be sure that my lights were working so they were safe, as my lights would flicker on and off occasionally, or they would be on with no flickering, I was worried that I was creating a possible fire hazard. Turns out, it was the lightbulbs themselves that had gone bad. I'm an older person so I didn't want to be on a ladder! I highly recommend him! read more

Straightforward, professional and easy to work with. Gave a quote, showed up on time, did the work -- what more is there to say?

Carlos & Jason did an awesome job installing the "sky ceiling" in our office suite. They installed three 4'x4' LED troffers in our ceiling, to create a 4'x12' "Aspen Sky Corridor". We absolutely love it! Kudos to Velo Electric on a job well done! read more

An Electric story. In today's world, security of your home and family is tantamount one of the most important areas of importance. I have always illuminated my home, but was in need of updates and repairs. I called at least four companies whose prices were outlandish and ridiculous. I looked to Yelp and found an electrician company named VELO. Thank the Lord for Carlos, owner of VELO. AFFORDABLE, PROFESSIONAL, EFFICIENT, a few words to describe VELO. And backed by YELP. Do yourself a favor.....need an electrician? call Carlos read more

I was able to get our issue resolved within the same day. I appreciate how quick and smooth communication was, how the electrician got here on time, and everything was done quickly. It was a minor issue but we wanted to get it fixed quickly, so I am very happy with Velo! We will most likely ask for an EV charger installation sometime in the near future. read more

Carlos is our go-to electrician guy. He is thorough, service oriented, and professional.

I called Carlos because I noticed his van in the guest parking lot of our condo complex and several owners I knew recommended him. I described the work I needed done, Carlos provided a quote and we scheduled a time for the service including the replacement of all smoke detectors, troubleshooting a light switch, and replacing a couple of can lights. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the entire experience! Carlos was knowledgeable, professional, skilled and efficient. He also worked around my work from home on Zoom! I feel that Carlos provided excellent value and would use his services again. read more

About one year ago, I experienced a strange crackling sound coming from one of my outlets. I contacted Velo Electric and they promptly scheduled an appointment for me. The electrician was very thorough in diagnosing the issue. He not only examined the problematic outlet but also checked three additional outlets nearby and confirmed no issues. He then proactively replaced one outlet that I heard of the sound as a precautionary measure, for free. Since the service call, I haven't heard any crackling sounds at all. The electrician was fast, efficient, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Furthermore, he provided valuable advice on groundings and the use of EV wall chargers that were required for our house, even offering competitive quotes for both services. I highly recommend Velo Electric to anyone in need of electrical services. Their professionalism, responsiveness and commitment to customer satisfaction are true. read more

I reached out to Carlos based on a friend's recommendation to inquire about what needs to be done to prepare for an induction oven installation. Carlos asked questions to understand my current setup, took a look at the oven specs, and provided a great suggestion that my current setup should work and that's what we should start with. I appreciate the time Carlos took to help me and will definitely reach out if/when we need future electrical work done. Thank you Carlos. read more

Carlos quote me a fair price. He was patience to respond all my questions over the phone and even more questions when doing the job. Installed an EV Outlet, before starting the job he explained to me all the possibilities on how the outlet could be installed. He did a pretty good job and finished in a single visit, he was very nice and helpful explaining to me what all the circuits in my home go. I would definitely recommend him for your electrical needs. read more

*May 26, 2020 update: I requested service Velo Electric for two repairs -- converting a phone jack into an electrical outlet and installing a GFCI electrical outlet in the bathroom so that I can outfit my toilet with a Toto washlet. Carlos is punctual, knowledgeable, and efficient. In no more than two-and-a-half hours, he completed the work. Part of the electrical work prompted Carlos to plug in my router/modem into another outlet so that internet service would not be disconnected (I am working from home). That was thoughtful of Carlos to get an extension cord to enable me to work uninterrupted. Considering today is the hottest day of May 2020 and accessing the attic was part of the work, I am very appreciative of Carlos' willingness to visit at his earliest opening. Thank you Carlos. You are the best of the best! read more

Helped me install a nema 14-50 outlet for a tesla mobile charger. Fitted me in his schedule same day. Was very good about giving me an eta before arriving. Performed the job quick and professionally. Didn't have any trouble with the flex conduit another electrician didn't want to deal with. read more

My room has power! My room was out of power for I kid you not ... ONE WHOLE WEEK. The issue was weird. I was on my computer, ceiling fan on, lights off and nothing more. The power suddenly shut off and I hear a pop somewhere ... I check the breakers and one was tripped. I thought, okay cool no worries. Flip it back and ohhh man! Nothing. Me and my dad try to diagnose the situation since my dad has some experience with electrical but this was beyond what experience he or I may have. This hurts all the more since I'm a college student with finals coming up ... yup, NEXT WEEK. I send out quotes and Carlos from Velo Electric responds in under an hour with a reasonable and fair quote. I sent out 4 quotes this day and I've yet to get one back while others could not even provide a quote. I made an appointment with him and his communication is great, he lets me know if there may be any delays whatsoever so that someone could be present. He fixed our issue on his first visit, but then we had another issue. The following day Carlos fit us into his busy work day just to diagnose and remedy the situation. Me and my family are very appreciative and thankful because 3 rooms were affected, not just mine. He figured out the problem and was in and out in under 2 hours. He brought another employee named Harley; both very hard workers! Very laid back, professional and honest people. I will be going to Velo Electric should I or my family have any electrical issues. We've already recommended Velo Electric to my brother and his fiance in the event they experience electrical worries in their house. Thanks for all your hard work! read more

Velo Electric - My room has power! Thanks to Carlos and Harley for their superb work. - Electricians Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Contacted Velo for an estimate and Carlos was quick to answer. He was tentative and responsive of any and all questions and concerns I had. On day of service he was prompt and provided confirmation when he was on his was. He was on time and provided the necessary services I requested as well as providing me with further options for down the road projects I was looking to complete. All without being pushy. Overall he installed my Tesla wall charger within 2-3 hours. I highly recommend Velo Electric. He is the best in the business for quality and pricing. Carlos is very honest and trustworthy, for sure he just won a repeating customer! I will without a doubt be dealing more business with him and recommending him to all of my family and friends. read more

We had Carlos do some electrical work for us and he did a really good job. I appreciated the great communication as well. He proposed a better way to accomplish what we needed and it was much less cost than I expected! In addition I have requested some quotes for future projects and they were all very reasonable quotes. read more

Highly recommend Velo Electric! We used their services for a generator transfer switch project, for future unexpected power outages at our residence. Carlos provided the service and he was great to work with...he was knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, friendly and provided options! We are extremely happy and satisfied customers and will use Velo Electric for our future home electric projects! read more

I actually found out about Velo Electric through a Home Depot pro installation request. There were a few other businesses who contacted me, but I went with Carlos because he was among the first to reach out, and was responsive and provided a fair estimate in a timely manner. What I needed help with was a bathroom exhaust fan installation, and Carlos was a great help in answering my questions and went ahead and picked up the recommended fan for me. He made the entire process as simple and efficient as possible, was even able to get the install scheduled sooner than I thought. Overall, I would definitely work with Carlos again on future projects for the house! read more

Carlos helped me install an outdoor outlet and troubleshoot an indoor wiring issue. He was knowledgeable, professional, and did a quality job with all issues. The best part was the communication throughout the whole process was excellent. He was very responsive to questions prior to the visit which I really appreciated. I plan to use his services for future electrical issues and would highly recommend him to anyone else. read more

Carlos provided an estimate upfront. He pointed out that my original plan did not comply with the code and suggested a compliant solution with reasonable price. The work was done perfectly. read more

Owner arrived on time and knowledgeable about the job. Finished installation under 30 min. Highly recommended.

As a second-time customer, I was disappointed in the job that was done (8/25/2020). The communication and responsiveness was lacking which required more follow-ups than the first time. Quality of work is still good, but the customer service this time was below average. An item in my yard went missing, and later found to be broken when the security cameras were reviewed. I was hoping to have found a trusted electrician to work on all of my properties. read more

The last electrician we called out to install a socket showed up three hours late, doubled his estimate, and walked out the door without doing a thing. We called Velo and Carlos came out on time, did a very professional job, cleaned up any dust from drilling, and beat the prior estimate too! We couldn't be happier. Thank you!! read more

Very prompt and reasonable in estimates. I appreciate their service. Carlos is systematic approach

Here is the update. Carlos called me and explained the reason(family emergency at that time). He showed up and provided a makeup for free. He treats business seriously and is very responsible. I will recommend him for future jobs. read more

Velo Electric is my go-to expert for all electrical projects. I'm always very happy with the results of Carlos' excellent work. Some recent example projects Velo completed include: Installing several outdoor Nest cameras with hidden wires and power through the attic Installing ceiling-mounted VR lighthouse emitters Installing ceiling fans read more

I used this company for a small kitchen repair. Excellent repair work and honest pricing. I'd definitely recommend this guy and hope he's able to continue to grow his business. Use this electrician! read more

No-show, not once, but TWICE! I understand these are difficult times, which is why I'll still give 2 stars, but they certainly could have declined the job rather than have me waste a month... read more

Let there be light! Velo Electric saved my life about two weeks ago while working from home. I recently had an AC unit installed in my home office during the shelter in place. My job requires me to conduct several video calls throughout the day with my clients. In the middle of my work, the lights and my electricity suddenly shut off. I tried resetting the breakers myself 3 times but NOTHING worked. I gave Velo Electric a call and they said they could fit me within their busy schedule and he came within 30 minutes of confirming my appointment. Super fast! He quickly diagnosed the problem and found out one of my breaker switches just needed to be replaced and provided a refurbished one and installed it. A true professional, i will always call Velo Electric for all future electrical issues. read more

Highly recommend Velo Electric! Contacted Carlos to install a subpanel and he did a fantastic job. I contacted several other electricians but Carlos came across as someone who was very professional and honest. His price was very reasonable. Velo Electric will be my go to electrician in the future. read more

Incredibly responsive, super communicative. Came out after closing on the same day after I requested in the afternoon for service. Charged best rates and I shopped around to quite a few service providers. Will continue to use for future electrical services. Highly recommend. read more

Carlos was excellent from start to finish. His quote was detailed and broke down all the parts and labor. He was diligent and careful with our house and working with the other drywall contractors. He was flexible enough to add some additional work as needed when we decided to do some extra work while he was there. We also did extra work with him partly because we could see how well his work was going. His estimates in labor time and parts were very close to final price and I appreciated his experience and clear communication. Would definitely recommend and hire again. read more

I contacted Velo Electric for a quote on the installation of a 240V outlet for EV charging. Carlos quickly replied and asked for a photo of my electric panel to provide an accurate quote. Carlos provided a very reasonable quote so I accepted and he came a few days later to do the job. Carlos was professional and answered all questions I had before installation. I'll definitely use his service again for my future electrical projects. read more

We had Carlos install a Tesla supercharger unit in our garage. He was very responsive by email and gave an estimate after viewing 3 photos I sent him. But after meeting him in person and his examination of my installation, the estimate became higher. However his new estimate seemed fair, so I agreed for him to install the Tesla unit which he did in about 4 hours. I would highly recommend Carlos because he was very informative and honest. He is easy to talk to and will answer any electrical questions you might have. read more

We've had Velo Electric come out twice to install two separate NEMA 14-50 outlets in our garage. Rates are competitive with other electricians but the communication and turnaround time is where they excel. The second install was a little bit more complicated than the first but Carlos still did an excellent job making it very clean and well incorporated around the obstacles in the garage. Very professional and friendly service! Highly recommend Velo Electric. read more

I just received another THREAT from Carlos at Velo Electrics within 1 min after posting my review and photos. He THREATENED to LIEN my house and SUE me for defamation if I don't remove my review. Please see attached texts. Below is the original post. *************************************************** This is a NIGHTMARE. This guy THREATENED me. 1. DO NOT get this guy Carlos for service. 2. The incident happened on 12/20 around 8 pm. 3. Based on our text conversation, Carlos was supposed to install a used main breaker $120 in my house assuming my main breaker was broken. 4. When Carlos arrived, he told my tenant he had to go to Home Depot to get a new breaker, and he told my tenant my main breaker all burned out. 5. When I arrived, I asked Carlos why did he have to go to Home Depot and Why did he put two small old breakers (40 and 50 amp) instead of the one (90 amp) we agreed upon? Carlos got a bit angry and emphasized it does not matter, let's get your power on first. 6. Carlos further warned me the way he installed the breaker is not up to code and he needed to get me a new main breaker for $400, so it was only a temporary solution. 7. Carlos said since the new breaker would cost me $400, and the test results from other small breakers were all bad too, he suggested me to change the whole panel for $400 or I would have the same problem again. I almost agreed on that until I clarified there was additional labor charge $1200. 8. Carlos verified 100 amp breaker would work with this panel. I remembered I saw the 100 amp breaker in Home Depot only costs around $40. 9. I was afraid Carlos was trying to rip me off, so I asked for my main breaker back which he hid in his bag. I asked Carlos why there was NO sign of burning on my main breaker. He did not answer. 10. I told Carlos I would get my own new breaker the next day. And I verified with him since the two small old breakers he installed was not up to code and not the parts we agreed upon, he could not charge me another trip fee $215 when he came back the next day. He said "YES", but he wanted me to get the new breaker within one week or he had to come back to take off those two small old breakers or he would get trouble. 11. At the time of his leaving, Carlos wanted me to pay $390 because he used two breakers. I did not think he complete the job, and the parts were not we agreed upon and not up to code. So I refused to pay till he came back the next day to install the new breaker. 12. Carlos threatened me he would take off those two small old breakers and I would not have power for the night. I insisted if he took off those two breakers, he needed to put my main breaker back on, and I would report his unethical conduct to the license board. Carlos said, "DON'T WORRY, YOU GOT FREE SERVICE FOR TONIGHT". 12. Guess what? My old breaker was working fine. Carlos suddenly asked me to pay $215 trip fees or he was going to LIEN my house. He immediately took out his phone and took a photo of me with my house number. 13. I had reported Carlos to the license board. 14. My construction friend checked my panel yesterday and confirmed nothing wrong with all my breakers neither the panel. So I almost got ripped off $2000. read more

Carlos was awesome. Very responsive on both phone calls and texting. Provided reasonable estimate, did the job in the time he quoted. He and Mickey were professional. We had 4 rooms and a living space updated with recessed lighting and dimmable switches. They ensured there was proper dust management in all the rooms and covered all furniture. We're already planning to work with them again and hope others will use them too. read more

Carlos did awesome job installing a plug for an electric fireplace, as well as replacing malfunctioning dryer plugs.

We had our inspection and passed with flying colors! Carlos was there to walk the inspector through anything he needed to know. Carlos was busy doing another job and still made the time to come 30 minutes out to my home just for the inspection. Thanks again Carlos! read more

Worked with Carlos on a (seemingly) simple wiring run for a newly renovated commercial building. He was prompt in response and was able to come out quickly to check things out. Onsite, we discovered a few issues that ended up affecting the scope of the project. Carlos was diligent in checking for any possible way to resolve the problem at hand, all while dealing with us frantically trying to call building management for information and confirmations. I can't recommend Carlos enough. This was a weird project given the onsite hiccups, but he was professional, personable, and clearly knew what he was doing. He quoted us a very fair price and worked with us in our unique situation. He's definitely now #1 on my shortlist for any electrical or wiring work we may need done in the future. read more
