Anchor Electric

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.

Anchor Electric is a great business. They helped fix an issue in both my home and on a separate occasion in my rental. Gus is a bright man and excellent at trouble-shooting issues. Gus and his crew are honest and don't try to recommend more than what is needed, and at the same time very pleasant to deal with. I have trusted Gus and his crew on two occasions now and I will continue to call them for any electrical needs in future homes, which is bound to happen in this city of older homes and ancient wiring.
I recommend Anchor Electric without hesitation.
Thanks Gus!

I had an outlet that caught on fire while using a hair dryer. Gus came out right away. He did testing of several outets in my condo, explained ground fault versus arch fault receptacles which I knew nothing about, and ultimately diagnosed the issue and fixed the problem. Highly recommended!

I called this business today and my call was quickly answered. Gus did some troubleshooting with me on the phone and decided he needed to come out. He arrived as scheduled and was very knowledgeable, personable and professional. It took awhile to locate the problem but that was only because others had done such poor workmanship over the years. He found the problem and explained what he was doing each step of the way.

He was clear about his pricing and there were no hidden charges. He did not try to sell me any products or services other than what I asked for.

I learned about aluminum wiring versus copper wiring, braiding, and pig tails. He showed me how I could change my outdoor security lighting and save money on my energy bills. I couldn't have been more pleased with his work! The power was restored to my house (half of the lights went out at the same time) and I'll be calling him back to work on my exterior security lights.

I highly recommend Gus! Thank you so much Gus!

I called Gus on a Sunday afternoon and he was there within 1 1/2 hours. He was very professional and handled my problem in 1 hour. I would definitely use him again!
