Earle's Lo-Cost Electric Company

Earle's son Brandon and his helper installed a GFCI box for my dishwasher. Phone response was excellent; appointment turnaround was excellent; they showed up on time!

Phone price quote was exceptional; so, I won't quibble they ended up charging me a tiny bit more! I will certainly be saving his name for future electrical needs! Finding and booking electricians for homeowners is NOT easy in Oakland. A keeper!

We had a fantastic experience with Earle and his team. We needed to replace a Federal Pacific box and add a 240V outlet for a new washer and dryer.

We're new homeowners and have never dealt with permitting, but Earle helped us every step of the way. He stayed on PG&E to make sure all of our documentation was in order, and he coordinated with the city to finalize the permit. In fact, he noticed some incomplete work on our tankless water heater that he knew would raise an issue with the city, so he and his team took care of that as well.

Their work is great and ll the guys were great to work with. I will absolutely turn to them for any future electrical work we do at the house.

Looks like one either loves Earle's, or doesn't at all. We are in the
""We Love Earles"". He is licensed, diligent, reasonable and we've had NO PROBLEMS with his firm over the past 5 years. We plan to keep using his services and recommending him to friends and clients

Earle was one of the few electricians to call me back. We had a good conversation and I scheduled an appointment with him. Then I got a call from my realtor that Earle was a no-show, and he wasn't responding to phone calls. He never let us know that he would be flaking, didn't call us back to apologize and reschedule. I guess he's got enough work that he doesn't feel the need to be courteous. I would not have been upset if he had just called us and let us know that he was either running late or couldn't make it - stuff happens and I'm reasonable and understanding, but he couldn't extend that common courtesy to us. Very disappointing.

Earle and his team are excellent. Prompt, fair prices and honest. I refer all my friends to him when they need an electrician.

Earle has done various things at my house over the past 4 years. He, his son, and the other workers have all been incredibly nice and knowledgable. I've had them do various things from rewiring parts of my 1908 home, installing light switches and additional outlets, to replacing lightning fixtures that haven't been touched since the 1960s. I suppose sometimes he may not respond immediately, but it has never been an issue for me. He's a good guy and does great work.

Last year, I had Earle and his son put in 4 lights on my front porch/garage, two of which required new wiring as previously there were no lights in front of the garage. He scheduled shortly after providing the quote and I was pleased with the job and his responsiveness. In December 2016, I called him again to provide a quote to add an outlet in my family room. This time it took a few calls but he did schedule time to come see what was required and quickly indicated the price and said it would not take too much time to complete. But because it was just before Christmas, he said he would do the work early in January and would call me in early January. After the first week in January and no call from Earle, I called him several times and left messages. Even tried email. No response. When I would actually get him on the phone, each time he gave me a different excuse as to why he couldn't either continue the call at that moment and would call me back, or give me an actual date to do the work. I was hoping to schedule the work prior to having the room painted so actually needed a date. Earle never called back after each discussion, even when he said he would. I finally sent him an email asking him to let me know if he was going to do the job or not so that I could find someone else if he wasn't interested. Never heard back! While I was pleased with his work the first time, I would no longer recommend Earle due to his lack of professionalism and poor response.

Earle and his team did an amazing job at an incredibly reasonable rate! I was able to get Earle to come to our house within a couple days to get a new electric panel and all new outlets installed immediately after we moved into our new home. They did the entire job (which was quite a feat given how outdated everything was) quickly, were really friendly, super knowledgeable, and had great suggestions and recommendations for other odd projects we had on the house. In addition to being amazing electricians, they charged us significantly less than other estimates we received to do the project, and were available immediately. Will say I'm a pretty persistent caller, so I was able to get in touch with him relatively easily.

I've used Earl on two different occasions. Both times, the service was top-notch and the price was extremely reasonable. Most recently, I needed an electrical vehicle (EV) charger installed. Earl's assistant completed the work the following day and fixed something unrelated for no additional charge. His estimate (and ultimate charge) was half the cost of another ostensibly reasonably priced electrician.

Earle, his son Kevin and team delivered. We had a fairly complex multiple flatscreen and fan install and they were able to execute without a flaw. They were knowledgable, on time, polite and very fair on pricing. My family and I highly recommend this company if you need someone to trust with your electrical needs.
