Alvarado Electric

Go no further when looking for a top tier electrical contractor. Use Alvarado Electric. David and team are the best!

We decide to upgrade our electrical service for safety reasons as well as a solar installation. Several very well informed contractors came out to give a bid, David being one of them.

David is a great communicator and was extremely helpful during the permitting phase which I had decided to take on myself. He didn't have to help out with that. His bid was professional and prompt, he followed up with phone calls to ensure all questions were answered, and was extremely responsive over email and text. There was never a feeling of pushy sales. I really value that. I'm kind of a worrier and David covered everything which made me feel 100% comfortable and confident in the decision to move forward.

When SDGE came out to do the pre-installation site survey they required the new meter housing be onsite for inspection. I hadn't paid David a dime and asked if could, but he gladly ran the meter housing over for SDGE to evaluate. This was during a period of time of equipment shortages as well so other contractors told me upfront it could be months before they received the required meter. David was able to source the part immediately. This was extremely valuable because of the sequence of events required for the existing Solar install schedule.

The installation was flawless. On time, very very clean, great coordination with the utility company and City inspections went without a hitch. It's everything you want when undergoing a major residential utility upgrade. David's crew is very professional, skilled, respectful and personable.

David is an extremely intelligent guy. He's very kind and interesting. I enjoyed watching him work, getting to know him a bit, and learning about some things. I respect him a lot. I can't recommend Alvarado Electric enough.

If you have an electrical project coming up, just use David. Honestly, you'll be in good professional hands and won't regret the choice.

Thank you so much David!!

Top notch praise for David's team on the work they did to upgrade our old electrical panel ahead of solar installation-- a more complex upgrade given the need for trenching. David's team was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, always kept their appointments, communicated extremely well, and served as an effective liaison with SDG&E. Even with a trench being dug and re-concreted, our driveway was always clean and work was always completed when it was projected to be. David kept us in the loop with every step and communicated expectations. Work was completed on a quick schedule without any hiccups.

We have already asked David to return for several other electrical projects needed in our home. His prices are competitive, he is reliable, and I recommend his team without reservation.

We only got an estimate for a panel upgrade. Did not do any work with them. However we were impressed with David who seemed very knowledgeable and the estimate was reasonable enough for us to potentially consider this company.

Excellent response time for my project. David was professional and excellent to deal with. Hand down was the best price compared to anyone else

David and his team are outstanding. David helped guide my 200 amp panel upgrade through all permitting steps - he was present for each inspection and scheduled them all. He was on great terms with all inspectors and helped get everything done quickly. The installation was done expertly, looks great, and is ready for solar! Thank you very much!

Call these guys!! They know their trade and are awesome to work with! David and his team (shoutout to Peter and Troy) started with replacing my electrical panel and finished with changing out all the outlets and switches plus some lights too. Their knowledge, attention to detail, post-job clean up and patience with all my add-ons is appreciated! Thank you all again! Hummm...what else can I replace... ;)

Had a job to install a 240 outlet for an EV vehicle and to install a traditional outdoor barrel sauna. David was very responsive, in time, and had great communication. He also was very creative was able to finish my job in a short period of time. I would highly recommend him and his team.

I contacted David on Super Bowl Sunday and within an hour he was headed to our home to fix our panel that had been smoking. He was very professional and reasonable especially given the day and urgency of the issue.

Alvarado Electric did an awesome job in my barber shop installing lights and a switch! I would highly recommend them to my customers and family and anybody that needs a good electrician!

We recently had Alvarado Electric upgrade our electric panel (& subpanel) to larger amp in preparation for solar and David was great! He corrected the existing subpar patchwork arrangement and he and his assistant replaced it beautifully. He came early for all appointments, gave us clear explanations/bids, and worked seamlessly with the city and SDGE for permits/inspections.

We were so pleased with the quality of his work, we hired him to add an in- door switch for an outside water feature and make some lighting changes in our house. Again, they worked together to efficiently and professionally complete these projects for us. I love, love, love the lighting they did in our hallway and living room! Can't say enough good things about Alvarado Electric...we highly recommend them.
