Wire Tech Electric is now my go-to electrical team! I have nothing but great things to say about Wire Tech Electric. From my initial contact, which was responsive and very pleasant, to the moment the tech walked out of my home after completing the work, the experience was stress-free and exceptional. I received a text 30 minutes before the tech arrived, and the text included a picture of who would be arriving to do the work. Great safety feature for situational awareness! When Olvin arrived, before I even had a chance to ask, he had already pulled shoe covers from his pocket and put them on, stepping into my home with the covered shoes (rather than putting the covers on outside and stepping on the porch, thus defeating the purpose). Olvin examined my 44-year-old master bath exhaust fan and provided a quote on the spot, after which he scheduled the actual work that would be done. I had already purchased the replacement fan, and was relieved when he told me that 1), the brand that I had purchased is the best brand on the market, 2), that brand is the only one they install (except for units supplied by the customer), and 3) they install this brand every single day. On the day for which the work was scheduled, I received a 30-minute ETA text with photo. Francisco, the electrician, got straight to work after asking a few questions. He was finished with the work in less than the quoted three hours (he had to cut the opening to accommodate the new fan unit and patch up after). I had expected to have to clean up dust and mop the floor after he left. However, none of this was necessary because he had covered the entire floor from the front door to the bathroom, AND the walls, shower, and vanity with 3mil plastic sheeting to prevent the settlement of dust. After testing the fan with me there to ensure everything was working properly, he gave me the option of paying on the spot or being invoiced (I chose the latter, as is my standard practice). The only con that I have is that Francisco changed the wall switch configuration. Previously, it was set so that switch #1 would turn on only the vanity lighting, and switch# two controlled the fan/fan light together. His reasoning was definitely valid, but I was so used to the way it was previously set. The issue with the new configuration is that it makes the bathroom too bright when I go in early in the morning, before my eyes have time to adjust after sleeping. I contacted customer service to let them know how pleased I was with the work and to mention the switch issue. The woman with whom I spoke immediately scheduled a follow-up visit, and a few days later, Olvin was dispatched to change the switch back. All said, I am exceedingly pleased with the Wire Tech Electric team, from intake to install to invoice, and highly recommend them! They will be my go-to electric company going forward! read more

I worked with WireTech Electric to rewire my 100-year-old house in Berkeley, which still had knob-and-tube wiring. They completed the entire job in about three weeks, and their partner crew also patched all the walls, so I didn't have to find a separate contractor for that part. Everything went very smoothly. After the final walkthrough, I only found one non-working light, one disconnected cable, and a few very small touch-up areas near outlets. All of those items were addressed immediately within one day. It was a real pleasure working with Olvin and his crew. Olvin had excellent communication, was very patient with all of my questions, and made the whole process much less stressful than I expected. Their price was also reasonable and competitive compared with two other quotes I received. They also helped with Ethernet wiring and mounting cameras at the same time as the electrical work, which was very convenient. I highly recommend WireTech Electric for both large and small residential electrical jobs. read more

The former owners of our house did a lot of shoddy work and deferred a lot of maintenance to this 100-year-old home, and we learned the hard way that they also had some dangerous, unpermitted electrical work done at some point after we suddenly lost power to the living room and upstairs bedroom on a Monday morning. By some miracle, the wire that got overloaded and caught fire in the garage petered out on its own instead of turning into a full-blown garage fire. We had three companies come out to assess what happened and quote us to fix the issue. Wire Tech were the only ones that gave us a comprehensive, intelligent, thorough explanation about what happened, which in summary was: - We had a 50 amp panel in a 100 amp box, and the panel wasn't even installed into the box properly. - Fifty amps was barely enough to run a microwave without overloading our wires. - We had a ton of ungrounded wiring throughout the house. Basically, a major hazard that needed addressing ASAP. They gave us three different options on how to move forward and the pricing for each; we decided to rewire the entire house. It took about a week and a half, with the crew working Monday through Friday, to get it all done. The guys showed up early every day, consistently, and immediately got to work. They worked on multiple rooms at once. Everyone we worked with was a polite professional. Communication -- in-person, via email, and over the phone -- was clear and regular. They also repaired any holes they needed to make in our walls and sanded everything to prep for us to paint over the repair, which I really appreciated. My only minor complaint was that, while they were pretty neat and tidy for the most part and laid down plastic all over the floors and furniture, they could've been neater. In our bedroom, for example, they didn't put any plastic over our bed, so there were shards of splintered wood on the bedding and all over the floor (and if they did put plastic over the bed, it didn't do much to protect it). Of all the rooms, where we walk in socks or barefoot, that's one of the worst for that to happen in. They also forgot to turn the heat back up on our water heater, so the next day after they finished, I took a freezing cold shower in the morning and didn't know what was going on until I called the office and Karen, who is incredibly nice, told us how to check for what might've happened with the water heater and we fixed the issue ourselves. They also broke a vintage stool that we had in the garage, which I had to throw out, which we didn't know about until we stumbled across it. And by broke I mean crushed almost flat; I don't know if someone tried to stand on it or put something heavy on it, but that was really disappointing to find. Small gripes aside, their pricing was very competitive and especially compared to the other company who quoted us for a full rewiring. Their work has a 10-year warranty. They took the time to show us how the new breaker system worked before they left. It's been maybe a month or so since they finished the job and so far, so good. We're very grateful to them for making our house much safer and giving us some peace of mind. Along with getting a new roof, this has been the most significant project and upgrade we've made to our home since owning it, and they made it as easy as I imagine this process could've possibly gone. Huge thanks to them. read more

I inquired about electric contractors for installing electric vehicle charging stations through Yelp. Several responded, and after some back-and-forth communication, only a few provided timely responses. One of these contractors is Wire Tech Electric. I scheduled an appointment for a home inspection and received two quotes. The prices were reasonable and competitive. I decided to hire Wire Tech Electric based on their review and professionalism. I am pleased with my decision, as the two technicians who visited my home performed excellent work. They completed the installation neatly and explained the process thoroughly. They were patient and accommodating, allowing me to ask questions and observe their work. Overall, I am very satisfied with the outcome. . read more

Good job. Nice guy. Explained all the stuff. Prompt and completed job on time. Would hire again

I scheduled an appointment today from 7-10 AM for an on-site review and evaluation to install an EV charger, but I received a call at 11 AM saying they couldn't come due to double booking. They then asked if the review could be done by email, turning an in-person appointment into a digital evaluation. I will never use this company again-- even as a new business, they clearly don't care about new customers or their reputation. read more

Wire Tech SAVED us from a horrible electrical company (OHMS electric). Olvin came as requested. The pricing was competitive and the work was amazing!!! They place protective plastic on your floors and the whole closet to protect the clothing underneath, they asked questions when they needed clarification, labeled everything clearly, demo how it works, patched holes when needed to make a hole to accomplish the job and do a walk through when all the job is done. Thank you very much! read more

I hired Wire Tech Electric to install a dedicated circuit for my Level‑2 EV charger and complete the charger installation. After comparing several bids, I chose them because of their responsiveness and professionalism, and they exceeded my expectations. From the start, their office team made scheduling easy and kept everything organized. Olvin came out for the estimate, carefully evaluated the work, and shared helpful insights about permitting and the steps needed to ensure everything was done correctly. A big thank‑you to Alejandro and Chris, who performed the installation. They were friendly, respectful, and clearly experts at what they do. The quality of their work was excellent, and they made sure the space was spotless before leaving. I also appreciated their punctuality--both the estimate and installation appointments were on time, which is rare these days. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with Wire Tech Electric and would not hesitate to hire them again. read more

These guys did a great job for us on two electrical projects: running a new 220 volt line for a new sauna, as well as putting in transfer switch to power our home from a battery in the event of a blackout. Wire Tech Electrical provided great service from scheduling, sizing and quoting the job, to execution. They were super professional: prompt communicators, price competitive, got the job done quickly, explained everything clearly, and cleaned up after themselves. It was a great experience all the way around. Thank you Karen, Aaron, and Luis! read more

Great experience. Easy scheduling experience, good price and friendly/quality install.

I needed a EV power cord installed in my garage and everyone that I spoke to from arranging the appointment to the technician who installed it was professional, patient and competent. The job was done neatly and they cleaned up very well! Would recommend this business read more

Wire Tech gave us an estimate to install three ceiling fans and upgrade our electrical panel. They sent a text message before each visit letting us know they were on the way along with a picture of who was doing the work. They completed the work in a timely manor and did an excellent job. They left their work areas and hallways very clean. They were polite and professional. We would definitely use them again read more

Thank you for your free onsite estimates! They help me understand how much I'll need to spend after seeing the issues. Your employee Aaron is very nice and knowledgeable. read more

Fast response, good communication throughout the process. Came within the promised time frame and got the job done quickly. It was to diagnose several GFCI outlets that was not working and replaced the broken one. Olvin was patient during the service time as I had to leave early for work and my wife had work meetings during the visit. He had to wait a bit to get access and then had to figure out the right key from a bunch of unmarked keys to open the lock I have on the outdoor electrical panel cover. He helped explain the possible reason (multiple hairdryers running at the same time) for us to help prevent the issue from re-occuring. No complain, can recommend. read more

Phew! It's wonderful and unfortunately rare these days to have a great experience with a repair company. Wire Tech was responsive, professional and willing to work with my time and $ constraints. I'll hire them next time I need any electrical work done. read more

I really appreciate the fair estimate that Olvin provided. I Highly recommend Wire Tech Electric, they were right on time and very professional. Thank you Olvin read more

Although I hired a different company, they were very pleasant and easy to communicate with.

Olvin and his crew are professional, communicative, and responsive. When I found out that I needed to do a full rewire (from knob & tube) and panel upgrade, they were helpful in explaining what to expect and also some of the unknowns behind the walls we might encounter as we needed to keep things up to code. They were helpful in letting me know my options and also patient with me as I was a little picky with light switches, outlet types, and their placement. I've since had Olvin and his team some other work after the hefty rewire job, as they literally know my house inside and out! I would highly recommend. read more

Sometimes what you want with a home repair contractor is simple but hard to find: honest, competent service, easy booking, prompt responses, and reasonable rates. That is what we got with Wire Tech. We had a small project, they showed up when they said they'd show up, they gave an estimate for the cost and stuck to it, they did the work competently and cleaned up, and the charge was reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

Olvin and Emmanuel were fantastic! We needed to completely move an irrigation unit to a different part of the house to make room for a solar Powerwall unit. It required digging up cement to move wires and replacing the cement. They were there all day and even fixed a small electrical problem I had been having with an outside light. Both of these men were friendly, knowledgable, and thorough. I highly recommend them for your next job! read more

The Service people were knowledgeable and professional. They provided electrical receptacle replacement. Displayed good workmanship However prices were way on the high end. read more

The tech sent out to troubleshoot our problem , Olvin, was superb. Very professional company that provides very comprehensive details on the potential problems we were facing as well solutions.

Wire Tech Electric provided excellent service by using seasoned workers (Irving, Chris, and Daniel) for the installation of my 2 new circuit breaker panels, swimming pool pump, and pool pump wiring. Work was methodically and efficiently done with little mess created. Pricing was fair too. read more

Had an oven unit that stopped working. I suspected an electric problem and wanted to rule things out before calling in an appliance repair company. Very friendly technician who was sweet to my barky dog. Olvin explained stuff along the way and answered a few out of scope question for an unrelated project. Will hire again! The whole process felt easy. The service was fairly priced, reliable and timely. The problem was diagnosed and next steps clearly laid out. read more

We smelled electrical burning. We called at 7am and they were able to see us the same day and keep us safe. We set up a plan and they executed it perfectly. I have zero regrets. I highly recommend this company. read more

Put out a service request and they were the most responsive of about the 8 electricians my request was sent to. Their scheduler worked with me and my ever changing schedule. You get a message when the electrician is on the way to your evaluation but it took over 1.5 hrs from the time I got the message to when he came so maybe he was coming from really far. Assessor was professional and answered the questions. The only thing was at the end I asked if he could email me the assessment because this was for an inspection I had to pass and he said he did, but good thing I checked my email because I didn't get it. I had to run out of the house and catch him while he was still in the car and ask him to email me evaluation before he left. read more

Avoid this company. They will charge you to do a quote for a project. Dishonest and bottom barrel. No other electricians do that.

Had an issue with the breaker box in our condo. Wire Tech responded quickly and came out to diagnose the problem promptly. Our electrician Olvin was friendly and professional, and had our issue figured out in no time. Didn't try to upsell and services and was very transparent and reasonable with their pricing. read more

Olvin and team are top notch! I've used them twice now and both times they are timely and very professional. I will continue to use them for any jobs I have in the future! read more

I recently moved into a 1950s constructed home where the inspection stated that the original bare copper wiring was and I quote "nearly at its limit". I also do not view houses as stores of value or investments, but as homes. And I wanted a home I would feel safe in, so I decided I wanted the house rewired and brought up to NFPA standards, and I wanted to have an electric water heater installed before I would move in. After searching around a bit, I landed on Wire Tech Electric. I spoke with Olvin, and we did a quick review of the property. Out of the handful of electricians willing to even do a full rewire they were the only ones who were able to get started right away, and they did! Work started in mid-February, and completed in early May, and those last 3-4 weeks were just waiting on the city of Oakland and PG&E to approve the placement of some meters and to pass the inspection (which it did, and without any issues whatsoever!) Working with Olvin and his crew was a a pleasant experience. They would send emails or texts for when someone would be on site, communicated with me when they had questions if they ran into problems (and in a house this old, we did once or twice!), and explained to me why some choices had to be made to stick to minimum safety requirements. After the work was completed I've only had to call them out on one or two occasions, none of which were emergencies. The first was one of the breakers for my kitchen was a little *too* sensitive. To be fair most people don't have a toaster, microwave, and coffee machine all on one circuit and all on at the same time. The other time was a bathroom fan that started randomly turning on because the moisture sensor for the switch turned out to have been damaged by some water getting in there. Woops! I am extremely satisfied with the work Wire Tech did, and I'll be recommending them to my friends around the Bay Area. Oh, and one more thing, I had hired them to do some additional work to make sure I could install an HVAC, a new bathroom fan, and replace a chandelier. All of which was done on time, within my budget, and I am more than satisfied with the results :) read more

I was very impressed by the professionalism of Wire Tech Electric. Olvin called me and arrived 15 minutes early for our appointment for installing two digital timer switches to control our outside lights. We wanted to replace the old-style timer switches in big metal boxes that needed to be adjusted every few weeks to make the lights come on at sunset and off at dawn. I chose the Honeywell Daysmart 7-Day In-Wall Digital Timer which is really simple to program for dusk-to-dawn. But the old timers had to be removed, wall opened up, old junction box adapted to accommodate the modern switch dimensions. Olvin did everything quickly and even patched the wall openings around the new switches and then cleaned up the work area afterward. His price for the work and materials was very reasonable. I'll call him again whenever I need a licensed electrician for a small or large job. Highly recommended!! read more

Wire Tech Electric - separate buttons to turn on the sunset and sunrise on/off feature - Electricians Near Me

Well done all around. Scheduling was professional, prompt and courteous as were all follow up communications with the office. The estimator was polite, informative, listened well and the estimate was reasonable. No attempt to up-sell. Once I accepted the estimate, i was able to get an appointment within the same week. The two electricians, Josh and Daniel, who did the work were great! Super courteous, on-time, worked well together, stayed focused and seemed to know exactly what they were doing. They were very mindful of keeping my office tidy - plastic sheeting on furniture and tidying up after completing the job. I was happy with the final walk through with unprompted instructions on how to use everything and confirmation that everything was working. Would definitely hire again! read more

This company sucks. They keep sending me an invoice for a dispatch fee but I have asked multiple times to get back to me about waiving it since I have done business with them before. They keep telling me they have to talk to the owner and get back to me but they never do, they just keep sending more invoices. They didn't send any confirmation or reminders or en route messages for the dispatch, otherwise I would have canceled. I have the texts from last time but not this time so I believe this is their fault! Now I try to call them, and I cannot connect to the number. I have been trying all day. Very unprofessional, only attentive when wanting money but not responsive for any other reason. read more
