Empower Electric

Totally lame! The guy is not as represented in other posts. Must have lobbied for them.
He was not interested in doing my electrical repair. Really? I just don't get tradesman these days. Are there any good, reliable, PROFESSIONAL ones out there because I can't seem to find them.
Don't waste your time with this guy.

I'm writing this review because I didn't need to use Empower's services.

I called Enrique yesterday and described the issue I was having. It would have been incredibly easy for him to come out, fix it in 20 minutes and charge me a couple hundred dollars because he seemed to know exactly what the problem was from the description.

Instead, he told me I should call PG&E and that they would likely come out right away and fix it for free (which is exactly what happened).

Next time I need electrical help, Enrique is definitely the guy I'm calling because I have confidence that what he tells me will be fair and accurate.

Our furnace tripped the breaker several times on the 24th. The furnace repairman went under the house this morning but came right back up and told me there was a wire sparking and giving off black smoke. I shut down our electricity and went to Yelp to find someone in Petaluma. All of the reviews for Empower were 5 stars, and as it turns out are well deserved. I called Enrique Moreno, the owner, and explained that I had an emergency. Enrique changed an appointment and came within 2 hours. This for a customer he had not worked with before. He updated me twice by cell phone on when he would arrive. All the reviews speak of Enrique's honesty. I was very impressed by how carefully and patiently he explained the situation and what needed to be done. I am very grateful that Enrique fit me in on the day after a long holiday weekend. He and his assistant went under the house and found two live wires with their bare ends embedded in the mud under the house. They had probably been like that for 14 years when the furnace was replaced. Luck came at the right time for us because there is a significant chance that our house would have burned down in the next few days. Enrique is coming back tomorrow to do some interior electrical work we have postponed. I recommend Empower Electric to anyone. A great local company.

I will recommend Empower to all my friends. Enrique and his team are very professional and honest. He is very knowledgable in what he does.
We had a small job to be done, an additional outlet needed to be installed in our family room.
He was able to come out promptly to give us an estimate and scheduled the job at our convenience. The work was done well and they even took their shoes off to walk on our white carpet! Nice guys!

Honesty is so rare these days, and Empower Electric is HONEST!

We only needed some simple things done for our older mobile home - a socket in the kitchen had blown and needed to be replaced, and we needed the polarity corrected on one side of our living room (had been that way since we bought the place). Two little things, but you wouldn't believe the estimates we got from other places... two, three times what Enrique estimated! AND he could see us next-day!

He did quick, thorough work, and was kind enough to let me ask questions about what he was doing, as he did it (I am very curious about this sort of thing!). He was happy to explain the wires and tools, and really seems to have a love for his work.

The socket in the kitchen is still working perfectly, and we can finally use electricity on the left side of our living room!

In the end, he charged us LESS than his original estimate, and wouldn't accept a tip for such a small job. When pressed, he simply said he'd love it if we let friends and family know that he'd done a good job for us, if they needed electrical work.

I would absolutely trust Empower Electric with any project in their field. I'll probably even ask them for a referral for a contractor for a bigger project we're considering in the next year.

You won't be sorry if you hire Empower Electric.

Enrique and his team did our full electrical upgrade and coordinated with PG&E to drop more power to our house....a little over a year ago. Our new house was built after WWII and needed a modern overhaul. The project called for a new electrical box, all new outlets to meet code, installed new light fixtures, new LED canned lighting, and new appliance hookups. Something that impressed me was that his crew ran power under the house into the individual rooms instead of fishing everything from the attic (which minimized major drywall repair which would have cost thousands to repair). Throughout the project, Enrique gave us daily project updates and kept the lines of communication open.

And a side note, I did my homework and got 3 other bids. Enrique's bid was the most thorough and my husband approved -- he's a construction manager himself and was also impressed with Empower's work.

Enrique at Empower Electric did all the electrical work for our new store, Marin Ace Hardware. We had gutted the former Sizzler in the location, so there was a lot of work to do, and Enrique did a fantastic job. He's a great guy, I highly recommend Enrique's work.

I called Enrique from Empower from an ad I found on Craigslist. I was nervous just picking someone without a recommendation, but it was a great move.

I wanted to have 3 lights fixed/replaced in the house and patio. While he was there, he said it wouldn't take long and asked if there was anything else he could do. By the time he left, he had replaced 5 lighting fixtures and only spent an hour doing it all. He put down blankets when he used a ladder in the house and was super friendly and informative. He even gave me info on what types of outlets I should buy if I decided to replace them myself.

As a woman who knows little to nothing about this, it was great to get such a friendly, helpful person in to take care of it. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I've already personally recommended Empower to multiple people, but I thought I should do it on here as well. Don't think twice about calling them, they are great!

Enrique Moreno, owner of Empower Electric, fixed my blown out circuit breaker. He was very courteous, friendly, and above all, was easily able to fix the problem on my old house.

An added bonus was the reasonable price he charged for the repair. It's so nice to find a local electrician I can trust!

From start to finish Empower electric exceeded my expectations! They recommended and installed a recessed lighting plan, installed 3 ceiling fans, completed the job on schedule, and came in under budget! Enrique is so nice and easy to work with!

I love my new recessed lighting and ceiling fans. The new lighting makes such a difference! Even with our homes high ceilings we can now easily read from the sofa without needing a floor lamp. And, with 3 new ceiling fans, the house stays cool without air conditioning! Thanks Empower!
