Berkeley Electric completed an extensive rewiring, lighting, and panel upgrade project for us a few months ago. They provided a thorough initial quote and when some additional needs were identified, Zalman and team negotiated pricing fairly and were still able complete the project on schedule. So far, we have been very pleased with the results. We have also had several contractors come in to the house for other reasons and all have said they are very impressed with the quality of work done by the electrical team, including the clean installation and the attention to detail on labeling the panel and re-plastering open walls. Thanks Berkeley Electric!

I've been using Berkeley Electric since we moved to Berkeley and I can't say enough good things. The main office is helpful and responsive, the technicians are masters at their craft, and we've always been happy with their work. I recommended them to my brother who needed to replace his knob and tube system, and he similarly has great things to say.

I had a quite difficult meeting with Zalman so we did not review specs nor did I request a quote.

Today, Zalman called me to apologize. He said he was having a very difficult day I realized that at the time and knew it was not personal. After all I had never met him before. Today, he asked me what he could do to make it right.

My reply: Today is Valentines Day. Celebrate with those you love and pay that love forward.

The whole crew at Berkeley Electric is the best. Responsive scheduling, friendly and best of all amazing at what they do. They rewired our whole house to upgrade from knob and tube. They have also addressed innumerable other fixes expertly over the years. Quality work that should last years.

Berkeley Electric upgraded our 100 amp main panel to 200 amps and relocated our subpanel to bring it up to code. Zalman was very thorough with all the initial project planning and everything was captured in the estimate. This ultimately resulted in no hidden costs or surprises during the project.

During the day of the project the crew was a pleasure to work with. You could tell that each crew member cared about the quality of their work and they took care to make sure the job site was clean at the end of the day. They even finished everything ahead of schedule!

After the work was complete, Zalman saw through all the final city inspections which made the project wrap up smoothly. We will definitely be using Berkeley Electric in the future for any of our electrical needs. Thank you!

I was so appreciative of the kindness, concern and care that I received from Berkeley Electric. Zalman was positively wonderful.

I worked with Berkeley Electric on the commercial side of things for many years and I can't express how fortunate I was to ensure my electrical projects were done so to code, on time, and on budget. Very professional, efficient, honest, dependable, and most of all flexible. One thing I admired about Zalman is his professionalism, workmanship (attention to detail), vast experience, and the ability to think outside the box and provide me, the customer with options. You get what you pay for so if knowledge, quality, and good workmanship is part of your agenda, Berkeley Electric is the go to for your electrical needs. An excellent team to work with!

Holy smokes! I needed a second opinion / estimate on some work for my very old house. Zalman was incredible - knowledgable, helpful, thorough. He has tremendous experience and wisdom about previous work quality, standards, pragmatic solutions...it was great. Thank you Zalman and Berkeley Electric! You gave me great ideas and a path forward out of a challenge thrown at me by my old home.

Our electrical box needed to be replaced, and later we had to have most of the wiring in our house replaced. Zalman and his crew did a fantastic job, both for the work and ensuring the permit and inspection processes went smoothly. The crew was courteous, clean, and very flexible. I'd definitely have them back for future work.

I needed a consultation from an electrician who was familiar with the Berkeley nuances and would meet with me to talk over a project. The scheduling process was absolutely painless, and that's an early indicator to me of how the rest of the process will go. I received a text message when Zalman was on his way, then he was able to evaluate the state of the house and provide excellent guidance. I would definitely use them again, and just like everyone else here I suggest you call them first in order to get the best outcomes for your project
