Electrical reviews in Richmond, California

Words cannot begin to express our gratitude to Andrade Link Electric! After the storms we had recently in San Francisco, a tree fell several houses down from ours and completely ripped our power lines from our home. Thanks to our friend and realtor Geary Do of Mosaic Real Estate, he recommended Andrade Link Electric and we are so grateful he did. This family owned business is/was a god send. They came and completely replaced all the wires and did some additional repair work right away. They are kind, professional and expedient. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. I HIGHLY recommend them for any electrical repair work needed in your homes and or businesses. Thank you Andrade Team. We cannot say it enough.

Andrade Link Electric are the best electrical contractors in the Bay Area. If you are able to get on their schedule I highly recommend you taking it. My partner and I recently moved into our new home in San Francisco and realized that the electrical had not been updated since the house was built. Victor came out the same week I called him for a quote and explained everything super clear! The price was definitely not the cheapest, but they are 100% worth the price. Their crews were super efficient and on top of that were super clean. Adolfo the foreman made sure the project moved along efficiently and was always available to answers all the questions we had. Overall they Victor & Adolfo were amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better contractor. 5/5!!!!!

I learned of Andrade Electric from a construction associate and hired them perform a complete rewiring and upgrade of a Walnut Creek Property. They ask the appropriate questions such as service amperage (in our case it was 200 amps), external outlets ,wired security systems, data cables if needed, recessed lighting, power for advanced toilet systems etc. honestly they cover things that you may not even think of.

They came in and stripped old wiring, left a dead leg for 1 powered circuit for power tools.

They then setup their laser to quickly install all necessary outlets, switches and recessed lights. About a week or two later they had the house completely rewired. Another important thing was that they completely install all the necessary wire plate guards so that someone won’t later install a screw in the wall and damage they’re wiring.

When they called for our rough inspection I attended and saw our City inspector was impressed with their work in every aspect.

The final dress out (when all outlets, light switches, dimmers, lights, fans security lights CCTV cameras and data systems are installed) prior to final inspection was extremely meticulous and thoughtful. Electrical panel properly labeled.

Final inspection and reconnecting with PGE went smoothly.

I was so happy with this group I hired them to completely wire my personal home and have referred them to others.

We were not able to use his services, but Joaquin was very helpful and came to our premises to inspect the issues we were having.

Very thankful to Joaquin who fixed my electrical issues in the kitchen. Figured out what the problem was and fixed it including the mistake I made wiring one of the outlets wrong.
Very Professional and courteous.
Will definitely use him again.

Joaquín is very professional, showed up on time to upgrade my main electrical panel. He pulled all the required permits by calling PGE and the city inspector. Besides that panel he installed a TESLA EV charger for me. Now I get a full charge overnight.

Thank you Joaquín.

Very customer focused company. An honest electrician that can do about anything. Joaquin was straight forward about prices. And was able to finish the work on time. Im glad i hired cencal electric for my workshop plugs and sub-panel he even aded a utility light in the dark hall where the panel was at a reasonable cost.

Joaquin accommodated a lighting project request on very short notice. we needed 4 recessed lights before Xmas and he came through for us. he advised us of the possibility of having to cut extra holes in the ceiling during the installation, but to our surprise he managed to complete the project without any additional holes. He was very professional during the entire process and showed upmost respect for our home by containing the work area dust. will definitely be contacting cencal electric again

Joaquin communicated well and fixed our outlet without any issue. His price was super reasonable and he was kind and engaging.

Jeff was awesome..Good communication, Kept his word and searched and found a hard to find breaker to compleate the job as promised.

Thanks Jeff

Woman Owned Cable & Electrical Contractor - they do great work!

Ally Electric and Solar did such a great job installing my initial solar system, I brought them back to do all the electrical for my new ADU including an expansion of the solar system. Their pricing is always fair, they handle all the permitting -- no easy task when it comes to PG&E -- and are diligent, sweating all the details. I highly recommend them.

I have had a chance to work with Ally Solar a number of times over the last few years. They relocated a solar panel array, installed panels, and worked with PGE to upgrade my house service to 200 amps. Throughout, they have been good to work with, responsive and professional. PGE, on the other hand, was always swamped, backed up in their scheduling, and generally difficult. Moral of the story: Ally was great, PGE not so much. I would definitely recommend Ally.

I recently had solar panels and a battery installed by Ally through PGE's SGIP program. Nur was on top of the ever changing requirements of the SGIP program as well as significant paperwork and Metin and the crew were great to work with through permitting and installation, which was no small feat given the rush before the tax credit expired last year. My install wasn't very big, but it is a significant investment and I did a lot of research to understand my options. Ally was a great company to work even though my project was smaller and took up a lot of time because of PGE hoops. So far it's working great and I love using almost all my own energy!

The Ally Electric and Solar team are great to work with. They deliverd a working solar/battery system on time and within budget. Meting and Nur were in regular contact and made sure all PGE paperwork, issues and questions were addressed quickly.

I recently had solar panels and a battery system installed by Ally Electric and Solar, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final installation, everything was handled with great care and professionalism.

The team was punctual, respectful, and clearly very knowledgeable. They made the whole process easy to understand and completed the project on time without any issues. What I appreciated most was how approachable and responsive they were—any questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly.

Before starting, I was mainly thinking about saving on energy costs, but this experience really opened my eyes to how important and beneficial solar energy and battery systems are today. It feels like a smart investment not just financially, but also for the future.

Overall, I’m extremely happy with the service I received and would highly recommend Ally Electric and Solar to anyone considering going solar.

Ally Electric & Solar installation of solar panel system to our house was very professional and excellent. We have a concrete tile roof and none of the tiles had been damaged. Thank you Metin and Ally Electric for professionally installing our solar panels system.

Ally Electric and Solar installed 17 solar panels on our roof 18 months ago. The installation team was very efficient and respectful of our home. Metin and Nur were excellent communicators. We would not hesitate to recommend them to potential customers.

I recently hired Ally Electric and Solar to extend the wiring from my main panel to my EV charging point, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
After getting four other quotes, the other solutions I received were well-intentioned but complicated and expensive. Ally Electric and Solar came in with a straightforward solution that simply worked, at a fraction of the price of other bids. That alone set them apart.
From start to finish, they were punctual, communicative, and professional. The job was completed quickly, they left the space cleaner than they found it, and they even took care of a couple of small things that weren't part of the original scope, no extra fuss. That kind of attention and care is rare.
If you're looking for an electrical contractor who is honest, efficient, and focused on actually solving your problem rather than overcomplicating it, look no further. Strongly recommend.

They have no knowledge nor expertise!

Got a bid from these folks and their contract- which their sales person Oliver Canbazoglu called "a template for the basic info" when I questioned them about how it released them from any responsibility including output production. I asked them to send me a real contract. They never got back to me- 13 days later, still nothing!!! Do not trust these folks!!! Shady contract!!!
