Will was on-time and gave a full estimate before performing any work. He took any/all complications with aplomb and finished all work before the day was over. No extra charges for labor even though some issues were needing to be dealt with. He protected the work areas and cleaned up thoroughly after he was finished. All-in-all, he was a completely professional and competent provider and I would not hesitate to hire him again for any necessary electrical work.

Clarence is professional, courteous, and works hard to deliver the promised service.  The can lights are on a dimmer switch he installed.  All of the work was completed in a full day of work.

Will and his helper came and explained the pricing structure accordingly as it related to what they found and the work involved to correct the problem. He took us through each step as he discovered and ultimately corrected the problem. He explain why the burnt wires did not actually burn down the house but blew out the breaker instead. He also explained how dangerous it was because the breaker box itself was very old and needed to be updated. He was obviously extremely knowledgeable and he was very professional. He had a helper with him who was having on-the-job training and it was clear that this young man was learning a great deal with the expertise Will used to describe every detail of what he was doing. We asked Will about a couple of another thing involving electronics that we needed done. He answered those questions so that when we made an appointment for Will to come back and fix the breaker box, he will also take care of this other thing as well. We would highly recommend Clarence electronics for their professionalism and impeccable work!

He came out and changed over and rewired my breaker box. He installed a ceiling fan and a heat lamp in the bathroom. I would highly recommend him.

Electrician arrived the same day I called.  Very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough.  He was in uniform and had no issue going into attic with blown-in insulation that was being vacuumed out at time of his service.  I had before photo and he provided after photo with full explanation.  Also excellent service from office staff (Tiffany).  Thank you!

I've done business with clearances for about 5 years. He is consistently professional, the caliber of his work is excellent.. If you're going to go looking for a electric contractor, you shouldn't go any further than Clarence Electric.
The only sour point I could think of is he's pricey.  But then again this is California, and California is pricey. Clearance is really great, friendly, excellent disposition, always punctual, usually can get the job done in a day --- is a true professional.

The job was done excellent, but the price was too much given the few parts needed and less than 2 hours to complete.

Wilbur initially gave an estimate that I thought was too high. After some discussion, he reduced the scope of work and the price. Wilbur quickly traced the wiring behind the walls, determined that breaker was tripped on bathroom GFI, reset

tripped breakers, installed wall plugin, trouble shot why lights would not go on, replaced bad bulbs, end of job.
Time spent to fix problems was less than 1 hour, and I thought the charges were fair for the work accomplished.
'I would not hessitate to recommend Clerance Electric to friends in the future, or to use them again if needed.

The technician reviewed the house, and made some recommendations. He had a pre-printed form with standardized fees for specific jobs. We agreed to the estimate, and the work was scheduled. Ace completed the work. He donned booties each time he entered the house, and cleaned up afterward. The ceiling fan works great, and there is not even a hint of a "wobble" as the fan turns.

The electrician was timely, courtesy, experienced.  He removed his shoes & put on booties so he would not track dirt in the house.Once he entered the house, he examined the problem outlet  & then wrote up an estimate for me.  I approved the estimate, he had the necessary parts for repair in his truck & he fixed the problem. I was very pleased with his work!  I will call the company again.

The owner of the company came out with his work men and assessed our problem, took a great of time to explain it to us.  So we understood exactly what it was and what we might have to do in the future.  I was really impressed that they took the time and effort to explain it to us.  They were very good and we would recommend them to anybody.  We would use them in the future.

If you are looking for an excellent electrician (whether it be Wilbur, Ace, or Justin of Clarence Electric), your search is over.  Not only did they do professional work in a neat and orderly manner, each of them possesses  qualities you rarely find with anyone (workers or friends).  Each of them is easy to work with with a willing to please attitude (and without any type of negative attitude no matter what or how many changes you may ask them to make).   After watching them work and getting to know each of them for a couple of days, I had no qualms about leaving them alone to do their work while I took care of other business outside my house.  If  you knew me, you would know that I almost never trust that people will do the job well let alone leave my house totally open to them. And since the whole house was being rewired, they were in every room in the entire house. 
  The words that best describe them are that they are people with integrity who are fair and honest.  Actually, I think I trust them more than my own family.  Hire them.  You won't be disappointed.  You will be thrilled that you have found yourself an electrician for life for whatever needs you may have.  (Now if only I could find a plumber and a mechanic).

 My final cost was about $1,500 higher than my original bid, but it was worth every penny.
       I am extremely impressed with the professionalism and the craftsmanship, that Ace put into his  electrical work.
In the near future, I am going to have Clarence Electric  do an electrical inspection of my 100 year old house, and rewire (getting rid of the old knob-and-tube) my home to current Code. I would highly recommend Clarence Electric! for any electrical work!

We recently purchased a home in the Monterey area. The home required massive electrical work due to the fact the electrical system had not been touched since the house was built (~1940s).  Clarence Electric did a wonderful job in completely overhauling our electrical system - which included EVERY SINGLE light and electrical panel associated with the house.  The quality of their work was top notch and their price substantially beat all other electrical companies in the area. No detail was too small for them and their attention to detail was very impressive.  His company was efficient in carrying out this major job in terms of both time and money.

What I appreciated most of Clarence Electric is the feedback I received from Clarence himself when discussing ideas. While Clarence is very knowledgeable and ensures all work is done in accordance with the required code, he also took much pride in his work and suggested ideas that made our house look even better than what I had originally planned - and he was able to do this with minimal cost increase. He treated our house as if it were his own.

The company is licensed and bonded/insured. All employees go through drug testing and were very professional. They quickly accommodated all of our requests. All the workers were very careful when working in the house.  I sincerely appreciated all the small things the employees did to minimize the disruption their work caused  (i.e. boot covers over their boots to minimize dirt in the house, ensuring everything was returned to their original places, thorough cleanup at the end of each workday, etc.).

I highly recommend Clarence Electric to anyone and would not hesitate to use their service again.  I particularly recommend him to military personnel - He understands the demands placed on our schedule and is very flexible and makes an extra effort to ensure no problems arise in our hectic lives. I could not have asked for a better company to work on our house.

They did a wonderful job for us. They did an excellent service. They left the place better than it was before they were their. They were very careful on the clean up too.
