Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

I got Sonny's name / Company (Rios Electric) off a neighborhood bulletin board. Many many members praised Sonny for his work and professionalism, and I can see why.

There's 'always' been a problem with mold in our Master Bath. The last time we had it cleaned the representative said the molds grow so quickly as there is no moving air. Water just sits there for a long time after each use. He recommended an Air Fan in the ceiling, I thought that would be a great solution.

So the next time Rios Electric was named - I knew it was time for me to call. Sonny returned my call promptly and - things were set to go.

From our conversation he generally knew what to expect. Upon arrival I received a reasonable bid, and then we had a discussion about which fan unit / Brand to install. He recommended the Panasonic as it was high end quality and a very low operational 'hum'. He was right. We can hardly hear it running when we're in bed.

With this great experience we needed / used Sonny's services again. This time to deal with a problem of a fuse continually 'blowing' in hot weather - when the freezer was working extra hard.

Wow, this solution was broad and extensive... When our house was built they put a ton of receptacles on the same circuit. Get this, the middle bathroom, utility room and 'two' garage outlets. No wonder it kept blowing - we had a FREEZER, water softener, in constant use, a washer & dryer occasionally in use - but the big thing was when PLUGGING IN MY WIFE's PRIUS - what a power drain.

It was obvious we needed another circuit breaker BUT with no more slots available - we had to go with a new / bigger breaker panel.- no decision needed. Sonny masterfully installed this and did a good job of covering up the cut Sheetrock.

Also, during the process Sonny noticed a cord going from one overhead light to the other with only an extension thick cord. He said that had a high level of fire danger. Well he fixed that too.

Well since we were taking care of electrical needs, I mentioned I wanted another dedicated outlet in the garage - this one in front of the other side of the garage - just in case another electric car was in the future. :)

In summary, I can't say enough about my pleasure and the results provided by Sonny / Rios Electric. I will definitely use Rios Electric in the future for any of my electrical needs

Brian and Eric are very good. They know what they're doing, and are easy to get along with. Our project finished 3 days late but, for an initial estimate of 4 weeks, that's quite impressive. One heads-up is their preference to work later in the day, contrary to my previous stereotype of the early-to-rise contractor. Brian manages projects well: he uses contracts and online billing, and is very reasonable when resolving issues or changes to the plan. Overall, I'm happy to recommend them.

Serving on the board of our HOA and as a electrical engineer (I deal with electricians daily), Im blown away by the lack of professionalism and service WIL-CAL provides. The following are MAJOR problems we had that were major factors in canceling their contract:

1 - Workers on many occasions would show up, sit in their trucks and leave. When management was questioned of what work was completed those days we could never get a straight answer.

2 - We had a service contract and lighting spec with WIl-CAL. All bulbs must follow our spec but on countless occasions they used incorrect wattage, color temperature, and even bulb type! When we would complain they would state “the electrican didn’t have it on their truck” or a similar excuse. This would be acceptable IF WIL-CAL would remove the incorrect parts upon return but they wouldn’t. We even offered the use of lockable storage spaces to keep parts on site with no luck. The result of their poor service is our campus looks horrible at night, I mean horrible, its actually quite embarrassing as members take notice. Consistent member complaints which in turn reflects poorly on the board. Which brings up a question, whats the point of a service contract if your contractor installs incorrect parts?

3 - WIL-CAL claimed parts cannot be sourced on our fixtures as they were discontinued. We have a massive site with many fixture types the could not be repaired. This includes lenses that, I kid you not, are available at our local hardware store.

Needless to say, we canceled their contract and replaced them. Our new contractor was not only cheaper, they provide additional services, following the spec, created a migration path to next generation lights (lower consumers with better spread/light quality) and has sourced replacement parts for ALL our existing fixtures. It's unbelievable what only a couple months of our new Electrican's effort looks like vs years of paying WIL-CAL.

Excellent service, walked me thru all the steps and explained everything to me.

Trent came out and installed a car charger and can lights in my home. Everything turned out perfect, I could not be happier.

We called Mr. Electric at 1:00 pm. Juan arrived at 1:30 pm. He was professional, polite, knowledgeable and performed a complimentary safety inspection check as well. There was a short circuit problem to the right side of the house, from the washing machine in the garage to all kitchen outlets, the dishwasher & the refrigerator. We tried fixing the circuit breaker ourselves before calling but nothing worked. To ensure we got service immediately, the schedule coordinator went out of her way to accommodate us by adjusting Juan’s schedule. We originally thought Juan would take 2 hours to fix the problem but upon closer examination, he fixed it in less than half hour. We were grateful. The employees of Mr. Electric of Palo Alto are honest & reliable.

Specialized in smart homes and general electrical services, solves problems others can't.

I had a great experience with Zoom Electricians. They were able to diagnose and fix the issue quickly, and they provided me with helpful tips for future maintenance. The team was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They completed the work to a high standard, and I would definitely use Zoom Electricians again in the future.

I had an excellent experience with 5 Star Electric San Jose. Their team was professional and friendly, and they were able to diagnose and fix my electrical issue in a timely manner. They also provided me with helpful advice on how to prevent similar problems in the future. Their prices were fair, and I would definitely use their services again.

The best electrician I've ever employed is the one who is closest to me. They are competent and quick. The electrician close by installed all of my new lighting fixtures in less than an hour. My home looks amazing!

I was impressed with the electrician from this company. They were quick, professional, and solved my electrical issue with ease and expertise. I would definitely use their services again.

My company has had Sanchez do everything from small projects to major commercial upgrades since 2012. They respond quickly, are great and easy to work with, and do an amazing job. We've convinced all our neighboring companies to use them as well. We haven't had a contractor yet beat the service, price, and quality from Sanchez.

Worked for CH Reynolds as a contractor, and it was a horrible experience. Management never checks in with employees at their worksite, so you get no performance reviews, nor any opportunities to set goals. Management is so lacking that CH Reynolds lost their contract with the client, and all of us employees working for the client were let go. We were not notified of the change until 1 week before were let go! DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!

Gave us a really hard time. Did not come through when the inspector came. I had to talk to him like a child in order to get him to cooperate. Hire at your own peril

Best electrician I ever met. Very convenient that Mr. Mitchell is available on Saturdays. He is extremely honest and highly knowledgeable. Hourly rate is a better choice because he will be done the work faster than your expectations.

Very great top of the line service provided, fast with responding and great responsibility. Would hire again in no time.

Mr. Tang is very courteous and professional. He was able to repair our electrical issues quickly and explained how we could make improvements in a way that was easy to understand. Highly recommend!

Don't work for this company, they steal your tools.
