Had a good experience with Sean of Cate electrical. Worked around my schedule even during some possible road closures. Installed an electrical line for a new heating system. Thanks.

Cate Electrical has been in business for a long time, and it's easy to see why. They are very thorough and professional. Be patient in trying to book them, because they are often busy.

I had them install a 30A 240v EV charger, and they did a very professional job that other electricians were not willing to take on, or claimed that we'd have to trench the street to put in new under-street conduit.

Would highly recommend them.

Slow to respond to phone calls for an appointment. Once scheduled, after several back and forths, I was stood up. Electrician said he was delayed on another job but never called. Poor service. They seem overwhelmed and unable to manage or communicate effectively.

Mike came out to look at a weird set of electrical problems we were having and quickly diagnosed it as a PG&E issue between the box and the street. He called PG&E for us, so they came out immediately. Deeply grateful for his help.

Can't say enough about Mike and Cate Electric. He came over 2 days before Christmas to help me out of a MAJOR jam. I was without power because of an electrical problem and he came over at 5pm to help me. He's good people and genuine too. He talked with me and my kids while he fixed our problem. He talked to my kids about the stars and surfing and was just the coolest dude. He was also an extremely competent electrician and fixed our electrical problem quickly. I'm a customer for life!

Greatest choice for an electrician! Knowledge, efficient, cost effective! This is a local, family-run treasure, and we are so happy with the results. We manage several units and actually look forward the next time we need to call in an electrician!

The Cate Electrical process works! We just moved into our property, and needed the first assessment from Mike with his experience. Janine at the office kept in touch all along the way. The scheduled electricians were good at execution and service oriented too. Thank you for the many high quality electrical improvements. Will definitely work with Cate Electrical again.

While doing our home inspections for our new home, we needed an electrical inspection since the home was built in 1940. A friend recommended Cate Electric for the inspection. It was well worth the money as we were given a credit on closing costs because of the expert inspection which included an itemized estimate that we presented to the seller. Thereafter, we hired Cate Electric to do the needed upgrades to make sure the property was safe. I even asked for help installing two mini track lights and a ceiling fan in a room we upgraded. I asked Jud if the adds were a problem--he said ""my goal is to get you at or below the estimate."" He did and then some. As well, Mike Cate called me up later to review the completed work. He noted a few items were overlooked so he sent Jud and Leo back out to complete those items. I actually forgot about them. So we had two visits totaling 2.5 days of labor. We still came in $680 under estimate. Cate Electric understood we were budget conscious and also concerned about electrical safety. Mike and his team ensured we were very confident in both areas. They will have my business in the future.

Family business, which I love. One of the brothers did a great job servicing my electric heater, while the sister in the office was personable and efficient.
