Berk's Electrical and Lighting

I made an appointment in mid November. They showed up fairly close to on-time and the the person who looked over the job was very helpful. He made some suggestions (up sell a little) that I liked and he said the were really busy and that it would probably take a week to get me a quote. I have checked back a few times and still have no quote. I realize that that time of the year is really busy. My normal electrician who is over the top fantastic is booked until 2nd quarter. I decided to give Angies list a try since I have had good luck there. Here we are in January and still no quote. I am giving up now and because nobody every tried to reach out I will base my review on that. You can tell me you are too busy and that is honest or you can tell me you don't want the job. Don't promise and not deliver because I will write a review. I will say that usually Super Service Award winners make sure to at the very least follow up. In this case not so much. I think this is the first bad review I have had to make here.

I hired Berk's Electrical & Lighting company to replace a light over my kitchen sink. They also checked out a fluorescent light I was having problems with. A part was broken, so the electrician took it to see if he could replace the part. Unfortunately, he misplaced the part, so I would have to purchase a completely new fixture. Two days later, I get a call from Jeff. He said it was their fault and that they would install a new light fixture at no cost to me! I was stunned! I was impressed! I realized then that I was working with a company that had both integrity and class! Thanks, Berk's Electrical! I will call you first for future electrical work! Sue L.

Gerardo performed the task like a pro. He was very knowledgeable. I would hire Berk's Electrical again. I did ask if I was going to receive a discount for using Angie's network, he told me it would be 5%, but the web site said 10%, but I did not want to argue.

Electrician Michael quickly and accurately figured out where the problem was with the electrical wiring and fixed it. His work was great in every way.

Over $4000 was spent on this project. The shear wall was cut by mistake by the employee of the company, causing him to be fired after I complained. More concerning was the damaged and cut wires inside the wall (close to the stove and gas line) which was taped up WITHOUT my knowledge, covered by a patched up wall. Luckily this was discovered by another contractor hired to work on the kitchen remodeling during the same period of time. The wire was finally replaced by my insistence, prior to repair of the "shear wall in the kitchen". The company refunded me the repair of the damaged shear wall but no credit was issued for over and over delayed work, poor quality workman ship and likely unqualified employees. I requested a credit to be made for all the above issues but it was declined again. I was even charged full prize for an outdoor fixture replacement which was not done as the power came from the neighbor, but regardless "charged for the time" !! . I replaced wall switch plate myself as not done despite a new recess light installation! Finally I was told a dimmer timer could not be placed in the bathroom!? which I did it myself later! The office and owner are very polite and nice but I don't think they have the right manpower for a quality work. (at least did not have when hired by me!). I hired them trusting the reviews on Angie's list. My mistake.

Price seemed a little high, but otherwise no issues.

Not good. came over to look over the projects. took pics & said would call me in a week with pricing.. No call back after a week, so i called & said he is still working on it & would get me something with in a week. Another week went by & still no word from them, I called back & they said he'll have something over to me tonight. Never Happened. So I will not be working with them or referring anyone to them.

We have used Berk's Electrical several times for repairs at our home in Irvine. They have always sent out extremely qualified, competent and cordial electricians. This time, one of our circuit breakers broke down and half of our kitchen power went out, including the microwave and refrigerator. I called Berk's at 8:00 a.m. this morning and Kevin Brown was at our house by 11:00 a.m. to fix the problem. He knew exactly what to do. We also discussed with him what to do about having too many appliances on one circuit as our home is about 40 years old and newer homes have dedicated lines for large appliances like the refrigerator. Kevin offered several suggestions and his recommendation. He's going to go back to the office to get quotes for additional work, should we decide to make the improvements. I highly recommend using Berk's and definitely ask for Kevin. He's great! And I got a 10% discount because of Angie's List membership.

They were outstanding and I will hire them again if I need electrical work.

My wife and I were extremely happy with the work performed. The technician was prompt, arriving at the agreed to time and he was very professional. He perfectly balanced each of the fans and rotate without any wobble.
