Acero Electric

Crystal E.

I was given richard's name through a family member who had just had work completed in his home by richard. Since then, richard has been to my home three times for electric work. One was to fix ceiling lights in our family room that wouldn't turn on (turns out that the wiring was not done correctly), the second was to put in recessed lighting in our living room and install a light in our boys room and the third time was to put in field lights on our turf lawn (aka soccer field) and around our gazebo. Each time the work was done w/ great care and attention to detail at competitive prices! Not to mention many times he has done extra work. For example, we left for europe last summer and I discussed the possibilty of having our living room lighting done while we were gone to prevent disruption w/ a hectic household. Richard not only did the lights but he also went through our old home (1940's) and fixed a good portion of our old outlets to bring them up to code!!!! this is a perfect example of the detail he puts into each project. Our old home will require many more electric projects and we are incredibly happy that we found richard! He is trust worthy, honest, caring and humorous man who takes great care in making sure the job is done well.

Richard installed ceiling fans. He did a great job and gave a great price. He did not leave any mess. He was very friendly and honest and gave us tips to save money.

Recently had Richard and Enoch come out to look at a possible whole hour rewire and panel upgrade and ultimately decided to hold off on the project pending some remodeling projects we have planned. But I did need a few small items done like dropping my electrical down to my basement for laundry and repairing a couple of loose outlet receptacles. Richard and Enoch came back as promised and got those items done in no time flat. Being the stickler homeowner that I am, I watched them work and they were great. Now we are planning the next phases and Acero will definitely that job and all of our electrical jobs in the future. Thanks Richard and Enoch!

Many thanks to Richard and Enoch! I received 2 quotes from a competitor for $8K and $4K to fix 2 lights in a row of 5. Richard called me after I reached out via Yelp, and was able to visit my office that afternoon. I lost count of the electricians that I contacted. Everyone was either busy, or they only handle large commercial projects. We are a small business, so we don't qualify as residential and our office is a small, single story building.

Anyway, they came to the office, assessed the problem and BOOM! - all my lights are working. They charged me for the 2 hours spent, and it was well worth it. Now everyone is happy because the front lights are working again. Yay!

Hired Richard and Enoch to insert some light boxes on the side of our garage door. Made an early morning appointment. Richard showed up on time and provide a reasonable quote and said he could return later that day and get the work completed before the Warriors game that night. Richard and Enoch showed up, completed the work on time and did a great job.

Richard was a referral to me from a friend and I would absolutely forward on that recommendation on to others.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Mr. Acero and his apprentice Enoch did a wonderful job installing my ceiling fans. They were super responsive, and even fixed some of the mistakes from a different electrician I had come in the past. I'll start from the beginning to tell you how great they were.

I called Richard back around 2pm after he responded to my inquiry that morning. He asked me a few questions about my ceiling which I couldn't answer accurately. He then said he would just stop by to take a look. Once he got there, he was very polite and funny (but not as funny as he thinks he is :) and began to survey the place. Before I realized it, he was getting started on the job. I stopped him to ask what was going on, and he was like ""oh yeah I forgot to quote you a price."" The price was great, and with that, he instantly got started working. He was very thorough and told me exactly what he needed from the hardware store to complete the installation of the 2 fans.

Even though they took 4 hours to install both fans, it felt much faster. They were really clean and swept up any mess they made from drilling. They took great care of all the property, and even offered to complete any other electrical jobs around the house for discounted pricing. I will definitely be calling Acero Electric again if I need anything done at my house. My fans look and work great, and it was a pleasure working with them.

We called last minute on Memorial Day weekend as the stove outlet was causing problems. Richard and his apprentice came out to fix the issue quickly and at a very fair price. They are knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly to work with. We'll be calling them back for additional work soon. Highly recommend using them.

I give Acero Electric a 5 star for timeliness, great service, and quality work. I found Acero Electric on Yelp, and after talking to Richard over the phone, he told me he can come by within an hour or two. Other companies I talked to either won't be available for a few days or not available at all.
He showed up about 1 hour later and got to work right away. He showed me how to reset the circuit breaker which I wasn't able to. He told me to do it a few times until it sticks. He replaced the faulty GFCI with a new one which I already bought. As he was doing his job, he explained to me how GFCIs work. I found him very thoughtful and also friendly.
He tested all the plugs in the line that is under control of the GFCI, and even showed me how to test a few.
At the end, he gave me a discount because I already had the part ready, and because it was quite straightforward to him (not to me.) I really appreciate that. This is extremely rare!
I had a really professional and friendly experience, and I would highly recommend Richard.

I spent the day being jerked around by this electrician. I called at 9 am to arrange to have my nonfunctioning ceiling fan looked at and he said he was available in the afternoon. We agreed he would come around 2:30 or 3:00 and that I'd call him when I was leaving my daughter's house to head home to San Jose. I did so and he said it would be another hour or so as he finished up another job. I said that was fine. At 5:00 I had heard nothing,.so I called him and he said he was just finishing up and he'd be there shortly. Again total silence for another hour and a half. At 6:30 I texted him and said not to bother.
No service and not even a phone call to advise me of his delays. Horrible service. I will not contact him again. He may do good work but that isn't all there is to running a business. Stay away!

Called Richard this morning, at my house in 10 minutes (lives close by). Assessed the work, scheduled to come back in the late afternoon, finished just shy of dinner time.

Reasonable price for two (three way switch installs), double check my switch installs, and provided valuable information regarding code for converting two prong to three prong receptacles. All in one day!

Richard is wonderful to work with, knows his stuff, and a good troubleshooter (e.g. Checking my switch installs and correcting where needed).

Highly recommended this company!

Thanks Richard and Enoch (Crew Member), I Will be calling you for future jobs.
