Alpha Electric and More

Craig did a great job with our EV wall charger install. He stopped by to perform an inspection, scheduled us in for a day the following week, completed the install, and deducted the cost due to decreased materials cost.

Overall great job on the install and Craig was timely, detail oriented, and honest.

Had a great experience with Craig today. I contacted his business through Yelp and sent some pictures of my outlets. I spoke to him on the phone and he tried to walk me through a quick fix in case it was something simple so I wouldn't have to pay him to come out. When that didn't work he immediately made time to come out and repair the problem for me. I will definitely be contacting Craig in the future for electrical help. Thank you so much Craig, I appreciate you!

Thank you Craig for your quick, reliable, and honest work.

Before I looked for any electrician on yelp I went to ask PG&E if they can come check my house to see why the electricity of part of our house went off all of a suddenly and came back on after a few hours later automatically just in case if PG&E did some work in our area and probably disturbed our electricity line. Also, I had called PG&E just to ease my anxiety because i felt uneasy thinking that our house may catch on fire. PG&E did come out and explained that we had an old breaker and it was time to get it replaced.

After knowing what the problem was, I then went ahead to find an electrician to get the problem fixed right away. Craig was the 2nd person on the list of electricians around my location. At the time, I contacted another electrician and then Craig to get a free estimate of the work. Within a few minutes Craig message me and gave me his direct phone number. I called him and let him know my situation and he was able to meet up with me on the same day after he finished doing another project at another house. Craig kept open communication by texting me to let me know he was on the way to the house. Once I got home, Craig came out and greeted me and started looking at the problem. He had all his tools and headlight on since it was an evening time and the sun is setting pretty fast. He explained how many amps I would need for the house and goes on to explain in detailed why part of the house has electricity and why the other half doesn't. He went on his phone and assure me he can get me the part right away and proceed to drive to the nearest Home Depot. He had called me and let me know that he will come back and didn't want me to feel that he left me hanging. He came back in 15 minutes. The job took less than 10 minutes. He literally took the new breaker from the packaging and the old breaker out and put in the new breaker in and hooray we got electricity back on for the other half of the house. I had asked him to wait while I check inside of house to see if everything worked and it did.

In terms of the value of the work, I think I got a good deal since I did get an estimate from other electricians and it was within the same price and some was even more pricer than Craig. It has been 5 days and our house has electricity and nothing out of the ordinary happen.

Craig is just an overall just a sweet person, he loves his grandchildren, dogs, and loves the work he does. He proceeds to tell me what he does when he is not doing electrician work which is spending time with his grandchildren and ride his motor bike. I highly recommend Craig and if I'm ever in need of electrical work to be done I would look no further. Thanks again Craig!

I highly recommend Craig for anyone living in the Milpitas area. We live in a townhome built in 2014 and the dimmers come with the house are all very low-quality. Those are the type of switches that can slide up and down to control the lights, and they broke one by one approaching 10 year span. I called Craig on a Monday morning and he was polite, jolly, responsive, and helpful. He made it to come by the next day, showed up with his minivan full of equipments and he recommended a brand of high-quality dimmer switch but I opted in for a regular one and he was cool with it. He did an evaluation and then finished fixing all three dimmers within an hour and he charged less than $200. What can I say folks? This rate at Bay Area sounds surreal to me, call him and book an appointment if lights are not working, you won't regret it.

I am very grateful to Craig as he saved my koi fish. My precious koi fish pond stopped working because of power outage and no one can figure out the cause.

He was very knowledgeable and professional in doing the car charger for our new cut Tesla.

I called Craig and he showed up within an hour. Super friendly and knowledgable and went straight in to resolve our issue. I'll be using him more for future electrical issues.
Thanks Craig for your great customer service.

We were fortunate enough to have Craig do two major projects for my house, including 240-V EV charging and hot tub installation. I was extremely impressed and happy with Craig's top-quality work. He gave accurate estimates, showed me the materials and parts he planned to use, explained the steps involved, gave me safety and maintenance tips, and left everything clean and tidy. He always communicated clearly. Also he was very kind to help out on non-electrical stuff, identified a few problems with my house, and gave me tips on how to fix them. We would not hesitate to hire Craig again.

We had a breaker that started tripping regularly, despite no changes in the electrical load. I called Craig and he came to our house that same evening, after finishing the job he was working on. He quickly replaced the breaker and gave us advice on how to fix the flickering bulbs in our kitchen (hint: don't buy the cheapest bulbs). He was professional and personable and he completed the work for a reasonable fee. I would recommend Alpha Electric and plan to use them again.

We had an electrical problem that was hard to diagnose. We had an electrician provide a fix that was very expensive. Craig, who was the third electrician I contacted in the morning, showed up in the evening and spent 3 hours looking for the problem. He came in the next day and continued to look for the problem. Eventually, the problem was not fixed but Craig provided a fix that was half the cost and he did it the very next day. While he was looking for the problem he shared a lot of useful information about the electrical circuit at home. We really appreciated Craig's professionalism throughout and I would be contacting Craig next time I have an electrical problem at home.

I called on a Monday afternoon and Craig showed up before his other appointments the following morning. He methodically found the issue and corrected it while teaching me a few things about how to avoid the problem next time!

Thank you!!!
