Eminent Electrical

Alex and his team have done over 10+ electrical jobs at my house with the highest quality and professionalism I've ever seen for electrical work or any service provider I've ever used. The are extremely competent with no mistakes made even once, very courteous and considerate, 100% covid safe, and very reasonable prices for the work done. Would highly recommend as the top electrical service provider in the entire bay area.

Alex and his crew were very efficient with the work they did upgrading my panel from 100A to 200A, despite PG&E being absolutely horrible to deal with. PG&E delayed the project by a couple of months, but once their approval was received, Alex got to work.

I am giving Eminent 5 stars because they did professional work. The work was so great that I overheard the city inspector complimenting Alex on his work and how it is always so clean and professional.

Alex did relatively well on communication, though there were some delays at some points. He did, however, try to deal with the PG&E issue along with me, which was appreciated. He even provided me with some supporting items to provide to PG&E, though that did not do too much.

Pricing was market value, if not a little lower.

That being said, I do have a couple of items that I hope Alex can keep in mind for future work.

Some remnants of their work were left behind for me to clean up, such as part of the roofing, side panels, screws and wiring. As I had to go underneath the house to work on our sump pumps, I noticed a lot of old stripped wires left in the sump pump holes and all around. Same with the work area around the old panel and the new panel.

Note for anyone with a foam roof. If you are doing the same type of work, they will likely need to cut into the roof, which can only be resealed with foam. They did ""seal"" the new pole (can't recall the correct term for it) at the roof, but not very well. In fact, they did not seal it all the way around, even though the section that had no sealant was on the downslope.

You will need to have that resealed by a foam company. I did not realize in my head that this would be done, but that is an error on my part.

Overall, I would contact Alex again and definitely recommend him for work.

Eminent electrical and Alex were very professional and easy to work with. We had a fairly complex project that required going from underground service to overhead, upgrading the panel, relocating a gas pipe and installing an EV charger. This required working with PG&E over the course of over a year. Alex and his team completed the work on time and where patient during the whole process. They pulled permits for the work and worked closely with PG&E throughout the project. The entire process took about a year because PG&E was very slow but the end result was excellent. Other electricians didn't want to take the job or quoted ridiculous prices because of the length of the project.

Another advantage of eminent electrical is that they have both electrical license and general contractor license. This enabled them to do all the work including removing a gas pipe as required by PG&E. Other electricians would require us to find a plumber ourselves.

Alex installed an EV wall charger in my garage. The garage had a conduit from the circuit breaker panel to a wall plate installed by the builder. Alex installed a high amperage breaker and wiring to the wall plate and installed the charger. Charger works great (44 miles/hr), Alex was very responsive, followed covid protocols, and reasonably priced.

Alex responded to our request for a quote on panel upgrade quickly, and he came to check out our old panel right away (he actually came one day early, but fortunately we were at home at that time). He thoroughly explained to us the process. He and his crew came to work on time, and they were able to finish the upgrade in 2 days. We are working from home now, and they keep the disruption (electricity cut off) to a minimum. I was able to reach Alex easily through text and email, and he also accepts Venmo as a payment method. I will look for him again if I have any other projects in the future.

Alex was great - very professional, provided us with a few different options, and walked us through what he was going to do which was very helpful as new homeowners.

He and his team rewired the majority of our house, including the replacement of our knob and tube system and installation of a new sub-panel. They did it all without needing to break into any walls, which was much appreciated!

They also rewired our garage and added new lighting fixtures, really appreciated that! We will definitely use Alex and his team in the future.

My place was having some electrical issues which a previous electrician was unable to solve. I called Alex on Friday afternoon and he scheduled time Saturday morning to come take a look. Alex and his team were able to diagnose the problem the same day and fixed everything. This included re-running wire to 6 lights, installing a new doorbell transformer, running new wire to an outlet and running a new 220V line for a dryer/washer. This was all done in one day - very efficient and very professional! thank you Alex and the Eminent Electrical team!

Job spec entailed multiple individual electrical projects: install 3 Nest outdoor security cameras, door lock, & thermostat; modify pendant wire & new light box in kitchen, repair vanity mirror light, install dedicated circuit for fire sprinkler system & install wires to connect fire alarm bell to water flow system. Alex and his crew were profession, experienced, and accommodated our change requests as the project moved forward. My wife and I are perfectionists when it comes to our home and Eminent Electrical deserves our 5 star rating.

Alex and his crew completed a complete re-wiring of our house, including the replacement of our knob and tube system and installation of a new outside panel. We did this in two phases -- the outside panel and replacing the knob and tube were completed last year in preparation for our kitchen renovation and then just recently, the guys took on the wiring for the rest of the house. This made the job much more budget friendly since we were able to break up the costs.

While the price was extremely competitive , Alex's response time and follow-up put it way ahead of others. You were not left wondering if it would get done or if there was interest in the project.

Another improbable thing: his crew was on time every day (the re-wiring took 6 days). And I don't mean they got there within a half hour. No, 9:30 am was the scheduled start time and they would show up exactly on time or a few minutes early. They also took COVID precautions so did not skip any important protocols.

The guys cleaned up and treated our pets with care and respect. Alex was also able to get us help with plumbing issues and was always responsive to things we wanted to change. He is not a guy who, if you want to add work, will raise the price because he knows getting someone else to do it would be a pain and a tax on your time. All the extra work beyond the scope was reasonable in price and completed on time.

I highly recommend this company.

I called around 3:30pm on a Friday and Alex said he would be out between 6-7pm. He arrived around 6:30 and identified the problem right away. He took care of a couple of other fixes while he was there and completed all the work in less than an hour. Truly appreciate him coming out late on a Friday evening. Charges were reasonable. Highly recommend Eminent Electrical for your electrical jobs. Of course given covid he was wearing a mask all through the job.
