Cross Electrical

I needed several small electrical jobs done around my house so I checked Yelp and saw the good reviews about Cross Electrical. I was not disappointed. I called and left a message, Kathy got back to me right away and I made an appointment. Joe came out we went through what I needed, several non working outlets, adding a 240 outlet and to fix a strange porch light/outlet configuration (done by the previous owner). Joe and his team were able to complete all but the 240 outlet the same day - not their fault I needed to decide on the type of plug I needed. They came back one week later and put in the dedicated 240 outlet. Joe and his team were fast, efficient and nice. They kept the work areas clean but the most important thing - they did great work. The cost was totally reasonable. I will be using Cross Electrical for any of my future electrician needs. Thank you!!!

Could not be happier with Doug's help. Called at 4:40 after my dryer was delivered and we found out the outlet in the laundry room of our new house was the wrong socket. He was here by 5:15, replaced the outlet, actually replaced the circuit breaker with a properly specced one, gone by 6. Smart, personable, efficient, and accessible. More than you can ask for, will definitely call again if needed.

I was looking for any certified electrician in the Fremont area to add a 220V outlet to my kitchen. I read most of the electrician Yelp reviews but was passing up on Cross Electrical since their reviews were all 5 stars and they might be expensive. So I tried calling a handful of the 4 and 3 stars electricians but they all charge travel fees of $89 dollars to just give quote. One of them other companies waived the travel fee so that they can come out and give me an estimate. The electrician came and quoted me a $1000+ dollars to install two 50 amp breakers and a junction box. Finally, I just gave Cross Electrical a try because I was getting nowhere in my search. When I called Cross Electrical, Kathy picked up the phone and she was just upfront and said that it can cost me around $450 dollars. She said however that it may be $550 depending on the oven wattage requirement, how difficult my crawl space, and the distance from breaker to kitchen is. Doug and Jerry showed up at my door on time for my 7:00 am appointment a few days later. That alone was impressive since I had to go to work that morning at 10 am. Doug surveyed the house and said that they can do it for $450. I could have sworn that these brothers are some kind of church ministers because of their demeanor. There are still a lot of good people in this world and Kathy, Doug, and Jerry are one of them. Bottom line is that I was very happy with Cross Electrical. They did a great job in adding a circuit breaker for my oven. They came on time to their appointments and were just straightforward when it comes to their pricing. They installed the junction box to my oven but my oven was not there so they came back another day to hook up my oven to the junction box. I highly recommend these guys. Please give them a call first before calling other places. I'll use them for all my future electrical needs for my house.

I am so thankful we found Cross Electric! Doug and Kathy are such kind people to work with. Doug is an excellent electrician who helped us install lighting in our acupuncture practice. He did such a great job and I am excited to use his services for our home electrical needs as well as business in the future. Thank you so much Cross Electrical for being such a great business in Fremont!!

If you are looking for an honest, reliable, and high quality electrician, Cross is the way to go. I was impressed with their professionalism throughout their organization. They came out and did a ""small"" job at one of my managed properties and I was very happy with their work. Communication throughout the whole process was great. They genuinely take pride in their work. If all of my vendors were like them, my job would be easy. :-) Would happily use them for my next electrical job.

Recently used them for some work around the house and install light fixtures. They did a great job quoted reasonable prices with a breakdown of all things they will be installing and itemized cost.

I was in desperate need of an HONEST, reliable licensed electrician. I checked out the reviews on Yelp and decided to give Cross Electrical a call. I explained the circumstances and the trouble shooting I had performed. Doug said I had done everthing he would have recommended to me. He said he would be here in twenty minutes and he was. A new GFI outlet was needed. He is very friendly and didn't try to tell me that my house needed rewiring, which is usually what the crooks do. I will definitely call on Doug for all my future electrical jobs.

I was doing my house remodeling and they are really helpful in every single aspects.

I really enjoyed having Cross upgrade my panel and add a light and several outlets. The only guy out of five other bids that was honest and up front about what it would cost. Plus when PG&E came out to inspect the job a few days before and reported that the new box would need a 3' move - something Cross never encountered - they split the extra costs w me. Plus I received a 5% discount for cash payment. Very trustworthy. That's most important.

Our family had an issue with our dishwasher not working. It hasn't worked for well over a year and we never looked into it until I ran into a couple other odd electrical issues in the home.

The dishwasher didn't work, we had an outlet only putting out 30V and we had a breaker in the garage that would not stay on or even turn on.

At first my mother called another electric company.
This other electric company was going to (after some time investigating):
Run new power wiring from the breaker to the dishwasher, bypassing the wall switch that turns it on/off.
Replace the breaker and all of the circuits.
Relocate the breaker box and install a firewall, said it was not ""up to code"" etc.

They even pressured her into locking an appt for the next morning immediately.
Their initial quote was $6500 but since she agreed now they took off $1500 so the total for that work would be $5000.

After some discussion between her and I it was decided to cancel and get other quotes.

My mother found Cross online, called them, was really impressed with the family type company and very friendly staff. An appt was made and a technician was sent out.

It was great that my mother received updates on the technicians whereabouts and timing. He was right on time, friendly, courteous and my mother was very pleased with him (so far).

The technician didn't have to be in the house very long. After speaking to my mother and learning about her concerns it was a short time until he went right to the wall switch that controlled power to the washer. He immediately saw what the issue was and showed my mother the small jumper tab behind the switches and how it was never cut (father probably replaced it a while back). Since there was 120V coming in from multiple places the breaker was being overloaded and tripping.
He cut the tab, turned the breaker on and all was well. That also fixed the outlet with 30V since for some odd reason the living room lighting outlet and the dishwasher are on the same line. He stayed to address any of her other concerns, did some final tests and headed out.

Cross's total charges = $100

Basically they saved us more than $4800.

This company is going on my list (the good list). . .

Thank you!
