Nick is very professional and friendly to work with. He is honest and also willing to answer all the questions that I have about the Tesla Wall Charger throughout the whole installment process. Come to the house and give good estimate along with suggestion where to installed the charger. Come next day and finish the job promptly, cleaned everything after as well. Really appreciate his work and would definitely contact him again for future work for my house!

Nick is the certified electrician guy that was helping install my Tesla wall charger version 3. At first, he came by to give a quote for free. Then, we just need to schedule an actual installation couple days in advance. I would recommend the company for a professional service and overall smooth experience. The total process took about 4hr because we need an extra 60A breaker to get the maximum 48A of the Tesla wall charger. He also gave some tips to maintain my car battery and house circuit.

I was looking for an electrician to install a Tesla wall charger in my garage and found Electrica on Yelp and decided to give them a try. I was in contact with Nick who was very friendly and responsive. We exchanged messages and Nick came out to the same day to give a free estimate. A week later Nick came out and did a great job. It was also very convenient that Nick had extra Tesla wall chargers available so I didn’t have to go through and order one myself. Highly recommend Nick from Electrica for all your electrical needs.

I bought a Tesla a few months back and was relying on a regular wall charger but it wasn’t very efficient so I decided to invest into a Tesla wall charger. I found Electrica/Nick on Yelp, and communicating with him was very straight forward and easy. I sent him some photos of my current wall panel and send over my telephone and address, he arrived the next day took a look at the set up and suggested that I change some breakers and did a stress test before instillation but after that was complete he got the work done in about 6 hours, it was a breeze dealing with Nick. He is very insightful and skilled electrician. I would definitely recommend using his services for Tesla wall chargers and any electrical work.

My experience with Nick at Electrica was fantastic. He was fast to respond, honest, communicative and stayed until the job was finished.

Work to be done -- I am preparing my finished garage to become my new home office. In order to do that I needed to add multiple power outlets on a new 20amp circuit along with a 30amp circuit for a mini split AC/Heat Pump to be installed later.

Experience -- Nick was able to come out and give me a quote very quickly. He offered a lot of expert advice to help in my decision process and helped me avoid some unnecessary spend. He was able to start work the very next day which was amazing. I work in tech, but have a lot of hands on experience working on my home and consider myself a knowledgeable consumer. I peppered Nick with questions during the installation process and he was glad to explain what he was doing and why. The workmanship and parts he used were all top quality. We ran into some roadblocks due to my home being older, but Nick came up with solid solutions and spent several extra hours to complete the project.

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the service experience, competitive pricing and final results. I will not hesitate to use Nick/Electrica again!

Nick has been a pleasure to work with.  We needed a new 220v curcuit added in our kitchen for an induction range. Significant amount of work. Nick took care of it perfectly. Highly recommend. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Nick again for any future electrical needs.

I was thoroughly impressed with the services provided by Nick G., the owner of Electrica. I discovered him through the list of certified EVSE (Electric Vehicle Service Equipment) installers on the Tesla website, as I needed assistance with the installation of a sub-panel and 2 Tesla Wall Connectors.

Out of the five vendors I received proposals from, Nick was the only one who personally answered my phone call and made the effort to visit my house for a visual inspection of my electrical system before providing a quote. The other four competitors either relied on automated switchboards/voicemails or web submission forms. In fact, two of the vendors required me to take numerous pictures, write detailed descriptions, and create wiring sketches just to receive a quote. It felt like I was doing their job, and I couldn't help but think they should have compensated me for the 30-60 minutes I spent documenting the installation requirements. Additionally, one of the vendors was based in Los Angeles and relied on a remote estimator who would then outsource the work to a local electrician. In contrast, Electrica offered a fair and reasonable quote and provided personalized service.

None of the other vendors offered the same level of personalized attention as Nick. From the beginning to the end, he was the sole person I interacted with over the phone, via text, and in person. With Nick promptly visiting my property within 24 hours to assess my electrical system, I didn't need to take dozens of pictures or communicate with multiple individuals. He took care of the paperwork for the city permit and patiently addressed all my queries, allowing me to remain minimally involved. Whenever I had questions regarding electrical code, he displayed extensive knowledge and provided insightful answers. Additionally, Nick's punctuality was remarkable—he was consistently on time for every appointment. On the day of installation, he even stayed late past 7 pm due to a Tesla commissioning incompatibility issue with my Wifi system. The problem was resolved by adjusting a setting in my router and had no relation to the electrical work being performed.

Nick and his assistant executed an incredibly professional installation, employing meticulously run conduit from my main panel to the garage, where a sub-panel was installed and then split into two separate Tesla Wall Connectors. Nick assisted in configuring the system with Tesla's Power Sharing feature, enabling the dynamic allocation of the maximum 48A current between two vehicles charging simultaneously. His work was precise, and he even recorded torque measurements for each connection, as we discovered this was a requirement for passing the city inspection. Proper torque is essential to ensure secure and reliable connections, particularly when it comes to EV charging at high currents for extended periods compared to intermittent devices like washers, dryers, or stoves. Not all electricians take this extra step, but Nick went above and beyond by identifying and rectifying a main connector that had been improperly torqued by a previous electrician.

I wholeheartedly recommend Nick at Electrica for his expertise, punctuality, and, most importantly, his friendly and easy-going demeanor. It was refreshing to work with a smaller local company that recognized me by name and treated me as an individual, rather than just another customer at a bureaucratic office. I am extremely satisfied with Nick's work and would confidently recommend him to others.

We had a great experience having Nick install our Tesla charger! He was able to accommodate my schedule (performing the work on a weekend), and was also able to remove the charger from my old house prior to the install. Everything was done very professionally and Nick is very easy to work with. Would highly recommend!

I found Electrica on the recommended list of electricians on Tesla's Web site. I called, and Nick promptly answered, and scheduled a time the following day for a quote. When we met, Nick presented a few options for wiring from my main electrical panel to the Tesla wall charger. After I decided on an option, Nick came back the following day, and did the installation within the time duration he expected! I was very pleased with his work, and how he described what needed to be done. I highly recommend Nick if you're looking to install a Tesla Wall Charger!

Nick saved us when we needed a circuit run in a hurry. Water heater died on Friday, we wanted to convert from gas to electric but didn't have power. Nick showed up that same day to assess, then worked all day Saturday on short notice to get the new water heater powered up. No wonder the plumbing company recommended him so highly. His handiwork was meticulous and professional. He is very knowledgeable and freely shares his recommendations and tips, and is easy to work with. We plan to use Nick again for other jobs such as a plug for EV charging.

Nick did a great job installing my Tesla Wall Connector. He gave a quick estimate and did the job promptly. My panel was old, so he had to get extra parts. He even optimized my other breakers at no cost so the Tesla charger could be run at full capacity. He answered all my questions and cleaned up afterwards. Highly recommended.

I called Nick on Monday to discuss an install of an EV 220 volt outlet. He was at my house 30 mins later and began the work that day. He performed a capacity load test and was able to optimize my panel to support 60 Amps at the outlet.
He finished the work on Tuesday. We’re currently waiting on AMAZON for our two hose charging unit to arrive on Friday. All in all I’d highly recommend Electrica.

Nick was the first one to respond in few minutes and gave appointment same day. He visited our house and clearly explained what needs to be done to install Tesla Charger. His quote was very reasonable. He patiently replied to all our queries in the next 1-2 days and helped us take right decision and buy the right charger. He came on time and completed the work. Work was super neat and professional. He will be our goto electric guy in future if need arises. Highly recommend!

Nick is a very nice and professional electrician!

I contacted him about the circuit breaker issue in my house. Instead of directly quoting me, Nick first remotely diagnosed the issue and proposed two possible root causes free of charge. Turns out the problem can be simply fixed by pressing the reset button on the outlet. Nick did not charge me for anything, and saved me from the trouble.

Such a nice person! I will surely come to him next time when I need some electrical help. Highly recommend!

I hired Nick to install the NEMA 240v outlet for our EV. He is super responsive and flexible at the same time. I bought my own wire and outlet because I wanted to meet a specific standard and he is able to work with me to provide a quote reflecting the specific I need which is fishing the wires and installing the outlet. He also cleans up the area afterwards. I am super happy with this experience and I am sure you will too.

I needed an electrician to figure out a complicated, poorly wired circuit, when I noticed the ELECTRICA truck in a parking lot.
There was something I liked about it, so I looked the company up on Yelp and decided to call.
Nick quoted me a flat diagnostic fee and we made an appointment.
When he tested things he didn't stop at, I think this is what's going on. Instead, he kept digging until he found out EXACTLY what was wrong.
That done, he suggested a solution and gave me a very reasonable bid. I asked, Plus the diagnostic fee?
He said it would be waived if I accepted.
I accepted.
He went to buy parts, brought Andre, his helper, back with him, and they got right to work.
The job involved running a considerable amount of solid conduit, both indoors and out, which can be unsightly.
So I asked if he could place the indoor conduit along the seam where the wall and ceiling met.
He said, Sure, and that's exactly where it went. The outdoor conduit was done that way, too.
The word that comes to mind is meticulous.
I found Nick very easy to work with. He's confident, communicative, punctual, and clean.
I'm totally satisfied with his work and am super-happy I called.

He came out to our house for a bid, helped identify other problems that we could fix ourselves, did a load test, measured wire sizes and more. He worked quickly and got the job done. He was professional and answered my many many questions. I would recommend him highly to anyone.

They provided us a speedy work on our EV charger installation! We asked for a quote and Nick showed up on the same day to see our site. He immediately gave us a decent quote that we thought it was a fair price. We inquired another vendor for a quote, too. However the estimate was done via FaceTime and the pricing was way too much. We asked Nick to come back in 2 days and here we are very happy with his overall service. Thank you!

I contacted Electrica for a quote to install a 240V power outlet so compare with a quote for another electrician. I was very impressed with their response time. They requested some extra information and provided me with a quote right away, without having to come and see my place. Note only was their quote lower than the first electrician I contacted, they were also available to do the work much sooner.

The day of the install, the electrician showed up on time and did solid work. Everything looks great and works as expected. They were also careful to match exactly the specification I needed for my appliance. They had also given me a estimated completion time and they completed the work within this timeframe.

I definitely recommend Electrica and would use again. Very professional and friendly.

I needed a tesla charger to be installed and went through yelp. Electrica reached out immediately and asked to schedule a consultation the very next day. Nick promptly showed up on the agreed time and after discussing my options, he gave a very modest estimate on the installation. The very next day he came in to install my charger which took 6 hours. Even though it was one of the hottest days in the month in san jose. He still worked through the blistering sun to get my charger installed. He also flagged some electrical safety hazards that I was not aware about since I was renting this home. He provided suggestions and alternatives to mitigate the situation. I would 100% hire these guys as they are very professional, quick, and responsive at all times.

We contacted a few other electricians for an EV charger installation but they were the only ones to respond quickly and inquired about all the ins and outs of what we needed. They were incredibly professional and helped us determine the best route for a wiring. It was great to communicate with a business that truly cared about the project and what they could do to help our vision come to life. Definitely would contact again for another project if needed!
