Alternative Power & Electric

If anyone is looking for an electrician, check out Armando at *Alternative Power and Electric* He recently bought the company from Jeff Sheets. I have hired him for many projects around my house inside and out. From tasteful track lighting in my living to wiring my hot tub, Armando will meet all your needs. After the last storm cycle I was without power for 9 days. Once they finally got it up and running mine was still not working. I called Armando who came over right away and diagnosed my fried solar gateway and bypassed it restoring power immediately! This is the guy you want on your speed dial! Armando at (408) 605-3084.

Armando and his team are good guys and did great work!!! Due to storm damage, we had to replace the waterline from our well to the whole home water tank. Armando was quick to come out and assess the situation. The next day, his team installed about 200 feet of weatherproof cables to get power down to the well again. I'd use Alternative Power & Electric anytime!

I called to get an estimate at first I think his name was Jeffrey I explained that I needed a back up generator and he suggested he would prefer to perform the work without permit because of the city's arduous process . I said I wanted to do the project with permit and ask how much that would cost he said he was going to call me back .. I called him the next day to get the estimate still none. and the next then the next he said he was getting estimates for other vendors he's going to use ... I'm still waiting for an estimate , maybe I should get the hint ...that he doesn't want to do the job or doesn't want to deal with the city . I'm thinking if he is like this before he does a job he might be like this when he is doing the job ..What do you think ?

Armando came recommended to me in Boulder Creek and I was super pleased by the results. My bathroom fan quit and he fit me in the next day at the end of a Friday. Communication was quick and clear. He showed on time and gave me options to consider in case I wanted a simple DIY project. In the end he was able to remove it, lube it up, reinstall and get it working again in short order. No charge.

The power to my entire house went off, and I couldn't reset the main breaker.
i Called at 8:10, and they said they'd have someone to my house within an hour.
Jose arrived at 9:05.
He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem.
He was polite, professional, and very efficient.
He will be my first call the next time I need an electrician.
I highly recommend calling here first!

I'm surprised there are no reviews. I have had to deal with a lot of electricians in my quest to have the right generator installed here in the hills of Soquel. Cost was always a concern but also the right size generator. Jeff was one of the few contractors that listened to me, politely gave his point of view (which i wanted as the professional) and would engage with me in my many questions/texts. He always responded within 24 hours or less which is also highly unusual. He gets that ""good business is good customer service"". His guys are friendly and competent and i feel his costs were very reasonable. Hard to find a company like this. (Came Covid ready, wearing masks etc.)

Jeff and his guys (Armando & Jose) just installed my Generac whole house backup generator, and I couldn't be happier. The city inspector was very pleased with their work as well. Jeff provides a turnkey solution at a fair and reasonable price. They took care of getting the all the permits from the city and completed the work over a three day window. So now, I'm ready the next time PG&E decides to enact a ""Public Safety Power Shutoff"". PG&E's maintenance problems will take a decade or more to fix, and I simply couldn't imagine losing power when I need it most.

My electric team! Found these guys afteanother'sr contractor messed up some installations. I prepared to hunker down with some powerless rooms for a bit -- basically that contractor rewired my expectations for home repair. Dunno how he did it, but Jeff and his team were at my door in minutes! They were in and out so fast I almost told my wiife that I had done it myself!

Jeff is very hardworking. No job is too small. He uses the highest quality equipment and is friendly and reasonable in his pricing. I highly recommend him!

I needed a light switch replaced. They arrived exactly when they said they would, they were so friendly & polite & they finished the job quickly & inexpensively. I will definitely use them again!
