"It is weeks like this that make me so happy to have had Fitch Electric install a generator at my house. I had them install an EV Generator a few months ago and bit the bullet for the generator knowing this summer would be HOT and PGE would be shutting us down as usual. I cannot say enough great things about Fitch Electric https://fitchelectricinc.com/ They are professional, reasonably priced and are on-time and on budget. Thanks Lucas and your team at Fitch Electric 5 out of 5 star recommend ! I only said 4.5/5 on the value only because it's expensive regardless so this isnt a knock on Fitch just the whole generator world and PGE in general. I wish we didn't have to do this but in these times over the last several years WE KNOW that PGE will be shutting off power and this is just what we have to do. I love Fitch! Will use them again 100% in the future."

"I encountered a problem, and called ARP Electric to help diagnose and repair. Ahmed was able to come out the same day (!), even waiting for me at my house when my previous appointment ran long (!!). He was able to diagnose the problem almost instantly - and had me up and running immediately thereafter. The issue was actually due to a dumb mistake on my part, but Ahmed went out of his way to put me at ease, and reassure me about how such things could easily happen to anyone (which was very appreciated). Ahmed was personable, very knowledgeable and capable, and was simply a pleasure to meet and work with on this effort. For future electrical work, I'll be looking to hire ARP Electric once again."

"Bought a new electric clothes dryer to replace the old gas dryer. Found that our 220VAC outlet was not working. Gaetaway showed up on time, traced the source of the problem quickly, and repaired it. The technician was courteous and efficient. I will call them again, should the need arise."

"The main complaint I have with Wooding Electric is that the repair was done at a rental property and when I spoke to the gal in the office I told her I wanted an estimate before the work was done. I never got a call to let me know how much the repair would be, and never got a call that the work was done. I had to call my tenant to see if the electrician had been there. I didn't find out how much the repair was going to be until I got the bill in the mail."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Palo Alto, CA

Always start by confirming the pro’s license number, insurance coverage, and experience level. Visit the electrician’s website, scan recent customer reviews, and verify credentials with your local labor department. Request proof of liability insurance and at least two references that you can contact. These quick checks take only a few minutes but go a long way toward ensuring safe, code-compliant work and protecting your home in the event of an issue.

Grouping several electrical jobs into one appointment means you pay a single service-call fee and one set of travel expenses. Instead of asking a pro to return three separate times for outlets, switches, and fixtures, have everything tackled in one visit. The electrician stays productive, and you avoid extra trip charges, often shaving a sizable chunk off the final bill without compromising quality.

DIY electrical work can be dangerous and, in many areas, illegal without a license. One miswired connection risks shocks, fires, or expensive damage. Licensed electricians carry the right tools, follow local code, and know how to shut down power safely before they start. Hiring a pro may cost more upfront, but it protects your home, family, and insurance coverage in the long run.
