Anchor Electric

The power keep turning off in part of house and was not tripping any of the circuit breakers. We tried all the troubleshooting techniques we know, but couldn't fix the problem. We just couldn't figure out what was causing the power to go off. We were really concerned about possible electrically fire because the circuit breakers were not tripping.

Needed to have a professional electrician to come out quick. Got on yelp and started calling off the list. Got no answer on the first three calls. Anchor Electric was the fourth call I made. Gus answered the phone call. We explained to Gus exactly what had happened on the phone. From his experience, Gus had an idea what the problem was. So rather than driving out and charging us to fix the issue. Gus walked us through on the phone what needed to be done. We followed his advices and bam! the problem was resolved. Of course, Gus never charged us for his time and the expert advices he provided.

I highly recommend Anchor Electric and Gus will defintley be our ""go to electrician"" from now on.

Like everyone else, I was very satisfied with Gus's work. He takes particular interest in the challenge at hand, in my case, how to optimally charge my new Tesla. He stopped by the house to discuss the project and give a quote and before the work week was done, he was back with his son (this is a family business) and quickly installed the NEMA 14-50R outlet as well as a disconnect. I wanted to make certain that everything was up to code for permit and inspection purposes.

I want to add that Gus's quote matched another, but his included the work for the disconnect as well as the additional time needed to pull the permit and to come back for the inspection.

One last note, Gus is very focused on serving the local community, so if you live in downtown San Jose area, I highly recommend him!

I want to thank Anchor Electric for the great advice they gave me yesterday! I called in because my garbage disposal was having an issue and it was constantly causing my circuit breaker to turn turn off.

I called in to Anchor Electric and rather than driving out to just charge me and drain me out of money, he talked to me about some troubleshooting techniques that helped me to understand that my electrical was not the problem but the disposal itself.

Also, turns out that I have a warranty on my disposal so I will be all squared away!

There are not too many trustworthy business men out there that want to truly help the people they service, but when you find one, you should be sure to keep them around for a long time!

I highly recommend Anchor Electric and I assure you that I will use them and refer them anytime I have a chance! Thanks Anchor Electric! God bless!

Very pleased with Anchor Electric. Gus and his son came to our house this past Saturday and Sunday to fix wiring in our kitchen. Without their help we would have had a hard time getting by. They are very good at diagnosing the problem and getting it fixed quickly for a fair price.

Last Nov. 2014 we had a power outage in only one room. We called an electrician who troubleshooted for 3 hours and still could not find the cause. We got a referral to Anchor Electric. Gus the owner was able to find where the root cause was in 2hrs.
He was very helpful with advice on how to avoid power outages. He was very professional and caring. We feel our house is now safe and up to par. He explained how when our house was built it was not capable of powering so many of the gadgets we use now so we had to replace all receptacles and switches and subpanel among other things.
We will recommend Anchor Electric if ever asked for a professional and reliable electrician.

Gus was helpful right from the first time we talked on the phone. He genuinely cared and even called me back with more information he had found out before coming over to my house.

Once here, he helped me figure out the problem and even helped me figure out how to save energy!

He is very trustworthy. He helped me calculate and figure out what in my house is using a lot of power and how to avoid it.

Highly recommended!! If I ever need an electrician again, I will definitely call Anchor Electric and ask for Gus!

I recently called Anchor Electric out to my house -- the owner (Gus) came out personally and promptly. He and his son did a great job installing a new bathroom fan and helping re-install a mounted microwave.

Regarding a completely separate issue: Shortly after that a handyman service claimed that there was no electricity to an outlet, and he couldn't figure out the problem (of course he still wanted his $). At that point I called Gus again -- it took him all of 5 minutes to determine that the GFCI breaker had tripped. He reset it and installed my light fixtures.

Gus is very friendly and professional. It's great to have such professional service as opposed to a bigger shop that will send out a flunky with little expertise or experience.

Thanks, Gus!

My husband sawed through an electrical wire on Saturday afternoon (doing some drywall work) and we called Gus since his yelp reviews were so positive. We were NOT disappointed! He showed up a couple of hours later and was able to diagnose as well as re-wire the problem area the same day. This involved not only the electric work, but sawing of additional drywall which he did without complaint. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and didn't try to sell us something we didn't need. I would not hesitate to use him in the future for any electrician need we may have!!

Kudos to Gus and Anchor Electric. Our business had a major electric failure on Saturday afternoon which suddenly and randomly cut off power to several rooms and receptacles. There seemed to be no pattern. Our air conditioner also went down. Fortunately, we struggled through the rest of the day. Sunday morning I called Anchor Electric (because of great reviews on Yelp) and explained my dilemma of needing to be open or business Monday morning. Gus answered the phone and agreed to come right away. He arrived shortly after we hung up the phone. He quickly and methodologically zeroed in on the problem which was that one of the three fuses in our three phase subpanel was blown. He then proceeded to troubleshoot the air conditioning system and also found a blown fuse there. I was amazed at how quickly he zeroed in on the problems. Throughout the service call Gus was extremely professional, polite and thorough. The cost for the service was very reasonable. I highly recommend Gus and Anchor Electric for any electrical problem. He will be our man to call for all personal and business related electrical issues.

While I was leaving my message, Gus (I assume it was Gus) called me back. Quick! He spent a lot of time with me on the phone trying to help solve my problem and assess whether he could help. He was very patient with me and wanted to help even if it meant no business for him. I will call him again if I have another electric problem and recommend him to others.
