"Kelly did the project quite quickly, installing new outlets, installing low-voltage outlets for A/V and data, testing and repairing existing GFCI outlets, adding a new light fixture and switch and replacing an old light fixture. I felt what he charged me for the work was quite reasonable. I ll definitely hire Kelly for any future work."

"I thought my EV charger needed to be replaced so I was ready to do that, but they were able to repair it by replacing a damaged wire inside the charger. Glad to get more life out of my existing charger."

"Ahmed, was professional, and friendly. I had an outlet burn up in my garage. I usually change out my own outlets and switches. But since there was an issue I hired Ahmed. He not only fixed the outlet he installed a designated outlet for my car charger and replaced a breaker. I would hire Ahmed in a heart beat to do any electrical work at my house."

"Scope of Work: Tami completely rewired our 2000 sq. foot home to 2016 code. He also installed a hard-wired L2 car charging station. The work was comprehensive, including a main panel replacement, as well as new sub panels - including one in our detached garage. Every wire, circuit breaker, switch and outlet was replaced and at our request, so were all ceiling fans and lighting fixtures (interior and exterior). New lighting fixtures were also added to each closet, basement, attic and garage. Quality of work: His work was fast, clean, of high quality and his pricing was more than fair. His knowledge of building code is complete. Our home was built in 1918 with plenty of plaster on walls and ceilings. Tami has experience working with older homes and handled our job well - not a single plaster crack. Going above and beyond: Tami is focused on customer satisfaction and did many things, free of charge, not called out in his original scope of work. For example: adding additional outlets, switches and light fixtures in convenient locations that we identified after work had started. Tami is also accessible; not once did I call his phone when he didn't answer. I would not hesitate working with Tami again or recommending him to others."

"Dante transformed my home! 43 year old house with no overhead lighting. Dark! He installed 12 recessed lights in kitchen and family room. Now I love cooking in my NEW kitchen. Removed an old swag lamp and now I can enjoy my dining table. Then he put dimmers on so I can adjust the lighting. He also had the ceiling textured and painted. I wanted so bad to hug him, but Covid rules ! Iâ m using him for other projects and have recommended him to friends. Iâ d give him 10 stars if I could."

"When we needed an electrician for a small job at our home, we asked our friend who knew Alfonso. He raved about the extensive rewiring work Alfonso had done on his whole house remodel. So, we called Alfonso who came out to look. It was a small job of safely off the circuits from our demolished garage and preparing them for future use. Alfonso investigated and then explained our options for this job as well as a possible future upgrade to our main panel and installing an EV charging system. We agreed on a date and he arrived early and worked without a hitch through to completion. The hardest part was the location, in a very tight, awkward space. He had to crawl in and out several times, but always with a smile on his face. His work was neat and clean, and it actually took him less time than anticipated. Alfonso is a good communicator and possesses a fine sense of humor. I strongly recommend him to any homeowners or businesses looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and skilled electrician."

"Yep, Indaspec is a five start company. They were responsive and professional. The system we got has boosted our 2003 system and cost 1/5th the price. It will pay itself off in 3 years, possibly less. They were efficient in the installation - took about 1.2 days. The connection between our system and the app on our phones is super easy and now my husband and I have been high- fiving each other once we find out how much the new system is producing. Get the solar, Guys! This company is a gem! The office manager is a sweetheart and the bidding process was easy. The installer was a man of few words for me (I didn't really know anything about the tech part), but took time to speak to my curious and informed contractor husband. He was patient and explained everything so that my husband felt satisfied that he was doing right by our beloved and somewhat coddled home."

"We had a unique EV charger rewiring challenge which Linea Electric professionally addressed. Josue immediately responded to our request for an estimate, arrived on time, and prepared a prompt estimate. Frank found a way to hide the new wiring inside of the laundry room wall between the existing dedicated 208V/30A dryer circuit and receptacle and a new GE Safety/Transfer switch. We now have a 30A EV charger installed in our garage sharing the circuit with the dryer."

Electricians do a fair amount of larger remodeling and new construction projects but also common residential projects including:
For cost information related to the above tasks, visit our Electrical Cost Guide.
A truly skilled, well-equipped professional with a truck full of parts that charges $100 an hour can be a much wiser choice than an inexperienced hack, working with inadequate tools and no parts, but charging much less. Often, more experienced professionals get the job done quickly with warrantied work.
2. Compare Travel ChargesRates reflect travel times. Travel charges can have a big impact on your costs and are in some ways easier to compare than hourly rates. Many electricians spend a third or more of their time navigating traffic on their way to a jobsite. Every contractor must find a way to pay for the expense of driving each day.
3. Bundle Repair Jobs TogetherWhen you feel it’s time to call a pro, review your list and then conduct a mini-inspection of your home. Look for faulty switches and dysfunctional or crowded outlets. When the electrician comes, you’ll save money and time by getting everything taken care of at once.
4. How to Prepare & What to Know Before the Electrician ArrivesSanta Clara Electricians are rated 4.9 out of 5 based on 446 reviews of 446 pros.
