54 Electric

I recently had John and his crew install a new entertainment system. It turned out perfectly. They were extremely efficient and when the job was done, it was a total turnkey installation. One thing that I noticed was that my previous system had scores of lights blinking on and off all the time. Now, there are no blinking lights! Quite an improvement. I'd say that we are completely satisfied.

I have been using 54 Electric for four years now. John and his crew installed a wall mounted plasma tv in my living room and had to rewire my entire living room which had a great deal of built in areas to work around. The job was impeccable. John explains everything very clearly and also has many ideas and suggestions for upgrading or making our existing media system easier to manage. We are not tech savvy but John made is easy for us to navigate our system. Recently we had John come and organize a computer desk with a big mess of wires and cords which we were unable to organize in any comprehensive way. The work was amazing. Everything was organized, labelled and all the wires were hidden. I cannot say enough about John and Travis. I will continue to use and would recommend then to anyone without reservation.

I brought in 54 Electric late into a remodel project to install a Lutron HomeWorks QS system, and John (the owner) and his guys integrated smoothly and professionally into the team working on our house. They did great work.

A few things stood out to me:

* John is sharp. He's very smart and has deep knowledge of how electrical and home automation systems all work. He came up with several creative solutions to working around the older electrical systems installed my house.

* Transparency. John was completely up front with his costs and how he charges for things. He showed me the spreadsheet he uses to calculate costs and explained everything clearly. He was also cost conscious: where he saw places to save (e.g. by ordering different switches) or places where the value of the fancy Lutron equipment would be low (closets, bathrooms), he pointed these out and saved me money. I really appreciated all of this.

* Service. John dropped everything to come to my house on short notice so that we could keep the project on schedule. His work was completed on time and at very high quality. And he kept checking in with me and tuning the system until it was PERFECT. I really appreciated this.

I've already recommended John to two friends. More impressive, I think, is the fact that my contractor is now bringing him into projects too.

I recommend 54 Electric without reservations. I'll be calling them first next time I have any work to do at my house.

Our general contractor referred us to John to help us with a new media set up for our home. He is truly a full service business man! After a detailed estimate and explanation of what he thought would work best for us, he went on to purchase and install everything in a neat and timely manner. We were very impressed with the products and work he did for us!
We went on to have him design and install landscape lighting which added a huge WOW factor to our home. He has also done recessed lighting and upgrading of switches and dimmers for the interior of our home. Everything was done when he said it was going to be done.
Working with John and his team has been a pleasure!

They were really busy and had to reschedule us for about a week later. The day they they were supposed to help us they didn't even show up. I had to email them to find out what happened. When they responded I was told that he was really busy with a bigger job and we weren't the only customers they had let down. A simple phone call or email the day before would have gone a long way to show customer service.

OK at first. He came out relatively promptly and promised to consult with the city about replacing my panel and sub-panel and get back to me with a bid in a few days. That was weeks ago. I subsequently followed-up several times by phone and email with little or no response. I finally got him on the phone more than a week ago in which he apologized for not having my bid in and saying that he was a Giants season ticket holder and it was the playoffs but that he would get it in in the next couple of days. I still haven't heard back from him. Guess what: We all have jobs, even when our favorite teams are playing in the playoffs. Most of us do our jobs regardless. Avoid this contractor--totally unprofessional.

These guys are great. They were precisely on time and got the job done quickly (but no corners cut). I had them install can lights and new switches in two bedrooms and trouble shoot one or two electrical problems around the house. The guys were a pleasure to have around the house and I'll definitely call 54 Electric for any future projects.

I've used 54 Electric for over 7 years now and this company is my go to for all my electrical / home audio and video needs. His employees have always be polite, on time, well mannered, and very easy to communicate with. Even when I remodeled my house in SoCal, I was able to use his services. I will certainly be using his services again.

I lived across the street from someone who worked here, so we were always seeing the van. When we moved into a fixer-upper, we knew who to call. We got a few bids, but this was the only quote that was broken down into detail by what work was to be done - number of switches, dimmers, lights, etc.

I don't just go for the lowest bidder because it usually doesn't work out in the long run. 54 Electric had a competitive and most of all well-organized bid. But the most important thing for me is finding someone who really takes pride in their work, and who will take the time to explain to me what they're doing and why. I'm an engineer, so I know just enough about all this stuff to be dangerous. John was great about explaining things, and we picked up a few tricks that helped us with some do-it-yourself projects and repairs down the road.

John and crew came highly recommended from our realtor. John showed up on time, gave a complete breakdown of possible fixes to the new house, and accurately quoted the work. His team showed up on time and handled everything efficiently. The job was completed very professionally. I highly recommend John and 54 Electric and we'll use them the next time we have electrical repair needs. Highly satisfied.
