Once in a while you come across a contractor that is so good to work with you want to share your experience. Enter Alvarado Electric. In my recent residential electrical job I found these guys to be both cost competitive and customer focused. My job wasn't a big one but there were moving parts. Owner David Alvarado listened, understood the issues and patiently explained the options. He and his colleague were prompt, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Invoicing was transparent and easy to understand. But the best part is now at home after the sun goes down I really enjoy an improved lighting atmosphere. Thanks Alvarado Electric!

I've had David or his team (Peter and Troy) out for a couple of jobs now. Competitively priced, on time, and professional, I highly recommend Alvarado Electric.

This guy and his small company are the real deal! Not only was he on time or early every time he had to come to our house to meet with an inspector but he was given only four hours to complete a project that should have taken all day (the SDGE inspector told him that morning that he'd be there by 11am!). David and his crew rushed to get it done but was thorough enough to complete it so well that the inspector was impressed, using words like, ""awesome, great job"" etc. David even had to crawl under our house in a very small tight (spider-laden) space to run a grounding wire to the front of the house. He upgraded our old (1923) house from 100amps to 200amps and didn't even charge us that much. Thank you David and crew for an amazing job!

David I wanted to thank you for the superior service of the installation of my Tesla charging unit. From my first experience with your unrivaled ability to troubleshoot a tough electrical problem in my home. To now the absolute professionalism of this installation, I will continue to trust you for all my electrical needs and highly recommend you for any job big or small.

We discovered a dangerous situation in our main panel. David gave us instructions via phone to communicate with the electric company. He was able to replace the dangerous main input and damaged breakers to get our power back on while we go through the permitting process to eventually upgrade our whole panel. We were in a desperate situation. and he was responsive, prompt, helpful, fair, and professional. We have found our electrician for every future project. I highly recommend.

I am a Realtor representing a Buyer who is currently under contract for a house. After our physical inspection we needed an electrician to go and give us a bid on the repair work that needs to be done. Another Realtor referred me to Alvarado Electric. David was incredibly responsive, fitting us in late afternoon of the day we called. He came up with an ideal solution to fix our issues. He was a prince of a guy under less than ideal conditions--with unfriendly dogs and a troubling situation with the Seller. I am now looking forward to having him come to my house and upgrade and relocate my electric panel.

This is the real deal here. He does what he says he is going to, when he says he is going to do it, and does not hold back in the quality of work he does.

He replaced our entire panel for an 8 unit complex and installed my car charger, ZERO PROBLEMS. He is very friendly and so is the crew that works with him. I HIGHLY recommend using him for any and all your electrical needs. :)

David and his crew were punctual, efficient and so good to work with. I would highly recommend this company and encourage you to plan in advance as they are in high demand and may need several weeks before they can fit you in. This company is well worth the wait.
