Recommended Customer Reviews

Can't speak highly enough of Henry from California Power and Light!
Our outlets went out in one room of our home. He was able to quickly come out, access the situation and complete the job all within an hour.
It wasn't a typical issue. But backed by his 30 years of experience he was able to troubleshoot and pinpoint the problem area quickly.
He was professional and friendly.
This is our second time getting his assistance. Happy to know his been a Morgan Hillian for over a 20 years. Thank you, Henry!

I ran into Henry and his team this morning by accidents in my neighborhood while he was on his way to meet his client. So happy to have talked to him. 20 minutes later, he was at my place, diagnosing the inconsistent fixture issues, which apparently another household in the community was having the same problem, proposed a solution with a very reasonable pricing. The crew showed up on time, were very polite, worked on the project efficiently, and cleaned up nicely when they finished the job. Henry was also at my house in the end to ensure everything was carried out as planned. Also, they all wore masks and were very respectful to the household environment given that we currently work from home with virtual work meetings. Thanks Henry and team again for providing such great work. The house looks more beautiful now that the lighting/energy temperature is consistent throughout!

Had an old interior sub panel that frankly, creeped me out. Had CPL replace it, and the replacement was like art; just super clean and professionally done. At the same time, they chased down a number of other nagging safety issues and resolved all of them quickly. Punctual, extremely friendly crew, and the work area was cleaner after they left than when they arrived. Very responsive on the phone, competitive and affordable pricing. Easy to see why they're rated as highly as they are; they show up, diagnose quickly, the quote is clear, and they knock it out. Highly recommended.

Called and spoke to Henry today to explain my problem with electrical that another company did at our home. He was so pleasant and seemed very caring. He explained things to me and I am going to have him come to our home this week. I liked his honesty and look forward to dealing with him and the company. Thank you!!!

I avoid hiring contractors like the plaque so giving this 5 star review says a lot about CPL. I have an old Zinsco electric panel which needed to be upgraded in order for me to install heat pumps for the upcoming heat wave. Henry, the owner was responsive, informative and extremely price competitive. He and his crew, including the stucco contractor (A+) were punctual, professional and fast.
I added several items to the job up to the date of the job and he worked with me through the changes without any issues. I have also contacted him a dozen times throughout the process and he would always promptly call me back whether it was the weekend, day or evening. I would highly recommend Henry and his crew and consider CPL the go-to team for all my future electrical needs.

Great all around experience with Henry. My request was promptly answered, he showed up on time and got to work and fixed the problem. Gave me some education on my electrical box and we are good to go. Thank you so much, you made my day so much better with no hassle service. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend California Power & Light! Henry was wonderful to work with from beginning to end of the job. His logo says it all...Friendly, Quality and Affordable....all true. Thank you Henry and team for putting up our new LED lights! We love them!!

I recently purchased a hot tub and needed an outlet for it outside. Henry's crew came and did the work. I also had them upgrade the electrical sub panel. They were friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. I was very happy with the service. Definitely would use them for any other electrical work.

During the recent PG&E blackouts in October, my electrical main panel fo my 1955 house was experiencing breaker issues where it interrupted service - it kept tripping on and off. I called around for an electrician and I finally connected with Henry at California Power & Light. He came by within 45 minutes after the call and he showed up at 10 PM at night when I told him that I did not have power (my house only). He was able to assess the problem and he fixed it. Yay!!!
I later called Henry back to eventually replaced and upgrade the entire electrical main panel - I had an old panel that didn't support the power output for the home, which I knew when I bought the home in 2015. Henry was my guy to do the job - he installed an new electrical panel and he also managed with the permit process and final inspection with the City from beginning to end.
My advice: Unless you're a knowledgeable and certified electrician--don't mess with anything beyond the basics in order to save money or cut corners. For any kind of electrical rewiring, tinkering with an electric panel or installing new fixtures...definitely call a pro. If you do, then call Henry at California Power & Light. You won't be disappointed!!!

Henry earned my trust and business by helping to reduce the timeframe and cost required to replaced all crimp connections, plugs, and switches throughout our house. While adding a new outlet they were able to find a way to complete the work in less time, which resulted in a lower cost than what was initially estimated. Prior to starting the work, Henry went out of his way to explore different options making upgrades to our Eichler home. Overall great customer experience!
