Electricians near Saratoga

“***UPDATE*** So a few months after I'd left the messages and wrote the 1-star review, Steve called me. He apologized and explained that he'd been dealing with some family issues. He had also let go one of the workers who had done my electrical. After making an appointment to come out the following week, I sent him my list of things that needed to be fixed, detailed in my original review. As promised, Chris came out on Monday. He was on time--even early--friendly and courteous. Chris made some recommendations on how to fix some of the problems, did the work, and also saved the day with some quick thinking. He also changed out a motion detector switch to a regular one even though it was out of scope. Steve himself came out and we smoothed things over. I was happy to have the work completed quickly and even talked to him about coming back to install a new light over my dining table. Although I would have preferred the work had been done properly originally, Steve takes pride in his work and I know he felt bad that there had been issues. I understand when family matters come up, and I told him as much. However, I do think he should have left an outgoing voice message explaining that he was taking time off and would not be returning calls for an extended amount of time. I was actually about to hire another electrician to fix all the problems, so I would been pretty upset if I had done so only to have Steve contact me afterward. ***ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW*** My initial experience with Steve and John, who were recommended by my contractor, was good. However, I've now left two messages this year for Steve asking him to come back and fix small issues that came up within weeks of my moving back into my remodeled home: canned light went out, dimmer makes a buzzing noise, smoke alarm fell off my master bedroom ceiling. And the big one: fans in both baths come on when heat/air does and not necessarily when they should. I.e., when I'm showering and the bathroom steams up. I'm sure all of these problems are easy to fix, so I'm frustrated that I've left two very polite messages (one on Steve's cell phone; one at the shop) and still haven't received a call back in over two weeks. I spent more than $10k with Southwest and thought Steve and John were very professional and helpful during the remodel. I think it's very unprofessional now for Steve to not follow up on these issues that I've documented through date-stamped photos. I think it's interesting that the majority of these 5-star reviews for Southwest are from people who don't write many reviews. This can be a sign of business owners asking for favorable reviews in return for providing a discount. If you're researching electricians or any other businesses on Yelp, I recommend doing your homework. Just because the business has 5-star reviews does not mean they truly are a 5-star business.“

“The electrician was really professional. They did all the electrical work in our garage. The job was done fast and safely. I strongly suggest it.“

“Jason was very diligent and was able to find a fault others could not, I highly recommend Wolfe Electric Co.“

“I called Monday to get a appointment as soon as I could, the lady who answered the phone was very helpful and I answered any and all the questions I had. Even better they had a appointment for Wednesday and the technician should up. He was on time and very professional, I told him that I wanted the lights on my porch and in my driveway. He finished the work really quick and I was so happy I will be calling them back to do the lights in my backyard really soon“

“Wilson Electric is the best. They return calls same day, and they schedule services promptly. They have helped us twice in the past few years and each time has been excellent. Nic shows up exactly when he says he will, he works quickly and efficiently, he’s kind and friendly, and he bills very fairly. Wilson Electric has my wholehearted recommendation.“

“Home NES has installed both my Tesla batteries and integrated my heat pump into battery back up. They worked with city inspectors to make sure the installations meet all requirements AND met my needs for location and battery backup. Randy, Katrina and the tech crews have always been courteous and professional.“

“Willis did some electrical work for us back in the late 1990s, including relocating and installing a new 200 amp entrance panel. A lot of electricity has flowed through that panel since then. It has remained though a major house reconstruction, and a solar upgrade. Recently I decided to add a new Tesla Universal Wall Connector, as we have two "plug in" cars now. (Upgraded from the NEMA 14-50 that I had the solar guys install.) I was pleased to see that Willis is still in business. It was a relatively small job, so he was able to fit it in fairly quickly. He and his assistant did a great job installing my new charging station.“

“I recently hired Dollens Electric for several electrical projects in my home, and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of work and professionalism displayed throughout.

Projects Completed:

-Electric water heater installation
-Circuit breaker panel upgrade
-Electric dryer wiring and connection

From the initial consultation, it was clear I was working with a true professional. They took the time to explain each project in detail, answered all my questions patiently, and provided transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

What stood out most:
The water heater installation was flawless. They ensured everything was up to code, properly grounded, and functioning perfectly. The attention to safety details gave me complete peace of mind.

The circuit breaker upgrade was handled expertly. They assessed my home's electrical needs, recommended the right capacity, and completed the work efficiently while keeping the disruption to my daily routine minimal.

For the dryer connection, they ran wiring cleanly and professionally, ensuring proper voltage and a safe, reliable connection. Everything was tested thoroughly before they considered the job complete.

Throughout all three projects, they maintained a clean work area, showed up on time, and demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship. I'll definitely be using them for all future electrical needs!“
