CENTURY ELECTRIC

We have used Century Electric on several occasions. They have very knowledgeable and courteous staff, and they arrive to do work almost at the very minute they promise. We think they are best electrical contractor in SF.

I was looking for someone to do a whole house rewire, there are plenty of companies that do not charge for an estimate.

Emrom Electric
5.0
My home had ancient knob and tube wiring and needed to be completely rewired. The team from Emrom was quick and professional, and completed the project on time with minimal hassle on my part, and even installed nicer light switches to replace the low quality ones that were already in place. They were very responsive to questions about the work and returned promptly when I requested that they return for a new project a few months later, once again doing excellent work. I'd absolutely recommend them

They did an excellent job! They rewired the building which brought the electrical wiring up to 220 because it's a 1940s building.

FISHER POWER & DATA INC
3.0
Fisher Power & Data rewired my house back in 2000, so their staff and techniques might have changed since. They were friendly and worked fast, but at the cost of quality and clarity. Two of the outlets rewired stopped working within three years. The two data lines installed were neat on the outside, but when we looked inside the walls, the wires looked like a rats' nest. A lesson I learned is that you need to be very specific, especially for electricians work: For example, the light fixtures were never rewired because both the electrician and I forgot to note them

The estimate was thorough and time was taken to explain the work that would need to be done. We got the estimate quickly and were able to schedule the work easily. The team of electricians were knowledgeable, professional, very nice, and responded to questions and requests.

Marty rewired our 1925 house completely with not one hole made in our walls,floors, and/or baseboards. Marty spoke with myself and my husband at length before the start of the project and really thought out everything before he started. After rewiring our 3,000 square foot house he replaced multiple light fixtures and even showed me how to oil and fix our old door locks. Marty is a true craftsman that we would hire again in a heart beat

Dalcon Electric
5.0
The technicians, Eric, Jack, Alex, Christian, Hector, and Jason rewired most of my really frustrating house in about four days. Lath and plaster, fire breaks, knob and tube wiring all things that made the rewire difficult. Their efficiency and proficiency was impressive. Hector even took the time to balance the ceiling fan they installed for me. Jack came back to do some of the finishing work, and fixed several other electrical issues that arose without asking for more money. Dalcon is the one company that I never bother getting quotes from other companies because they're the best, and it is worth paying for the quality of work and professionalism

Norske Electric, Inc.
5.0
So my 100+ year old house didn't allow everything to get done, but that wasn't because Norske Electric didn't try. They put so much effort into trying to find a way to wire a few more outlets in my attic. Unfortunately the house has been remodeled so many times that there was no continuous wall to go up. Brevik was very fair with the invoice and I if I ever need electric work again, I won't hesitate to call

We have 3 outside lights, but only one on a convenient switch. We needed rewiring to connect all 3 to the same switch. Arrived punctually. very organized. Did the work, cleaned up afterward. He had with him the additional parts needed., so no time was lost for him go out and buy the parts at the store. Very happy with the outcome

Marty was very timely and quickly diagnosed my exploding light problem (unfortunately due to my own wiring incompetence) and immediately resolved the problem. I appreciated his knowledge, professionalism and punctuality. I would certainly hire him again.

I needed someone to come and rewire the entire house and I needed it done fast. This was the only company I could get to come out right away and he did a good job. However, it cost some money due to the urgency.

He rewired my entire house. He rewired the breakers and put in new breaker boxes. He has fixed the faulty wiring. He has done all my upgrades. He is extremely competent, trustworthy, honest and professional. He is punctual. I have never had any problems or issues with him. He frequently does repair jobs which take him about an hour to do. For these jobs he charges me $80. However, he has done some major repair work like rewiring, putting in new lights, putting in new breaker boxes and wiring the breaker boxes to the main breaker box. For this job he charged me about $4000

3/25/13 Unable to write review at this time. Company is presently rewiring my home and should be done in another week. Harlan J Heydon 4/22/13-------See comments above
Arash and his team are very professional and experienced. They have the repairmen done efficiently and promptly at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended.
Randy was really great. He was affordable, very transparent about pricing, and met timelines he laid out before the project began. He even replied to my questions when he was on vacation (I didn't realize he was on vacation when I asked the questions).
The 2 technicians came to my house and immediately figured out what the problem was - a loose wire in the wall. They fixed it and replaced several outlets that weren't working too. They were very professional and knowlegeable - unlike another company I had come in. I highly recommend their services. I also had them come in to rewire my electrical panel in the garage
The crew on this job was, honestly, just awful. They would arrive later than agreed upon, every day. They were not careful or respectful of our home or belongings. Items were damaged, our tools, ladder, vacuum, etc. were used and damaged. They stood on furniture instead of using a ladder. They would move to parts of the house other than agreed upon, damaging items that were in the way, even though the areas they were to work in had been cleared of furniture, etc. Unnecessary holes were drilled in wall studs and ceiling/floor joists - for no reason since the wiring was then routed in another area. At one point I started wondering if someone was just going around drilling holes in studs and joists for the fun of it. The redwood joists in my basement ceiling have at least 10 holes drilled through them, and they were not even used to route the wiring! Some are drilled so close to the edge of the joist I actually need to get a structural person out to look at them to make sure the joist is still sound. The first day we came home to a huge mess of drywall dust and plaster debris all over our living room and found holes drilled through our hardwood floor where they "missed" the wall when drilling up from under the house - TWICE! No note about the damaged floor was left, nothing. A few outlets were moved from the agreed upon location with no communication as to why. Throughout the job, we always had to call and ask why something was changed or how something was damaged, no explanation was ever left or offered unless we sought it out. The single biggest screw up on their part was that the crew stood on top of our 1920's furnace and duct-work while working, damaging the furnace and breaking the ducts. The asbestos ducts! Prior to any work starting in the house, I personally had a long and very pointed discussion with John and his crew about the furnace and duct work. I very specifically told them to use extreme caution around the duct-work since it is asbestos and that the furnace was original and difficult to repair. The lack of care used around the duct-work and furnace was simply astounding. The ducts were crushed and broken off from the top of the furnace and the asbestos insulation was torn and ripped off in several locations! The dryer vent line was crushed and disconnected, which I discovered on my own, the crew said nothing about this. The dryer outlet was done in the first two weeks, I found the damage at the end of the job, so the dryer vent line was in use and disconnected for at least 2 weeks. Overall, the electrical work itself is good, it was the process that was painful. Despite repeated requests, conversations, meetings, etc., the crew did not listen and was just not managed well. The work also took approx. 2 weeks longer than planned, and toward the end of the job the crew would still be at our home working until 6 - 7pm at night, clearly trying to make up time. John did absolutely step up, and reimbursed us the estimated cost to repair the furnace, duct-work and other items in the house. However, had basic care and consideration been used, none of this repair work would have been needed
Excellent. The crew was on time and finished in one day. They were very accommodating to our exacting needs. Drywall guy came next day to patch & texture. When crawling through the attic to redirect cable and wiring they accidentally disengaged our doorbell wire. When we discovered this the next day we called Chris and he sent someone to fix the problem. Very satisfied

What do customers in San Jose say about Rewiring a Home?
Seth, Nathan and Terri were a pleasure to work with. They were extremely professional, knowledgable, punctual. Price came in at estimate. They were at our house for 2 weeks, always arrived on time, were polite, friendly and clean. The work they performed (rewiring the entire house) went off without any issues or problems. They worked with us and listened to our concerns from anything as small as to which light fixtures to get to making sure we stayed within the budget without compromising quality. They were very knowledgable and able to answer any and all of our questions.
