GAP Electric

I cannot recommend Gonzalo strongly enough. He is highly skilled, kind, reasonable, and reliable. We called him to do a very complicated job at our home, which involved re-doing some problematic electrical work done by a previous owner. He had to work with the city inspectors and do some highly technical upgrades to our electrical system. He was pleasant, helpful, and reliable throughout the process. His services were affordable, and his work was excellent.

I highly recommend Gonzalo Padilla! He is thorough, talented, quick, and fair priced. We are so impressed! We will look forward to calling on him again as we continue renovating our new home.

Gonzalo did a terrific job for me. Came out on very short notice, diagnosed a problem with our circuit breaker, went out and found the (somewhat hard to find) part, and replaced it. The work was done well and with a great attitude, and at the end he charged a very fair price. Highly recommended!!

I can't recommend Gonzalo and his crew highly enough, but I will try to count the ways....

My wife and I just bought our first house and needed a full rewire/upgrade of the main electrical panel. We also had him add in some new recessed lights, outlets, and outdoor motion-sensor activated flood lights. Since we were new to this whole home ownership thing, we were a bit nervous to be spending a big chunk of $ on a contractor, given all that could potentially go wrong. Unlike some other electricians, he wasn't condescending when speaking to us about what we wanted. We wanted an ostensibly over-sized electrical panel in case we ever want to add a hot tub or EV or simply so that its an additional asset when we eventually sell the house. Some electricians scoffed at this and said ""you don't need that, that's overkill"" and wouldn't listen to us. His response was always ""No problem"" and indeed, that's how he was during the whole process, nothing was a problem for him. His quoting process was straightforward and fair and he includes the drywall work in his quote, something a lot of electricians don't do. He was on schedule (can't say the same for PG&E, but he has no control over that), which was great since we really wanted the electrical work to be completed before we moved in.

Also, he's responds to texts very quickly, which is always helpful and not very common among other contractors we've reached out to.

Gonzalo, if you see this, thanks again!

One of our favorite contractors we have worked with during our new house process. We were looking for an electrician to help us upgrade our 30 Amp panel and rewire all the knob and tube in the house. Gonzalo arrived on time, gave a reasonable quote for the work (which also included adding recessed lights and some additional outlets). He started almost immediately, installing lights and getting everything set up while waiting for the permit to be approved, with very little direction from our end. He then worked quickly to get everything required and was patient but persistent with PGE, and the permitting office, and kept us in the loop throughout the process. He was very responsive by text and flexible with our electrical needs and fixed things promptly, and at the end patched up all the holes that were put in the walls (not something everyone includes). We love our new lights. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a reliable, trustworthy, and hardworking electrician who will do good work and not try to rip you off.

Gonzalo was amazing. He was very quick to respond when we reached out to him. I had him increase the voltage from 120v to 220v so I can use my new washer and dryer. He came to look at the hook with with no problem and was able to give us a great quote. Overall he provided good service and we wouldn't hesitate to give him again for any other electrical issues.

Gonzalo is very efficient at what he does. He is able to diagnose a problem and very quickly develop an action plan to address it. Called him up a few weeks later when another outlet that blew out impacted the one he worked on. He addressed it within days, and also fixed some grounding problems that existed there as well. Would highly recommend!

Gonzalo stopped by on a moments notice, fixed my outlet and was gone. Quick, effective and friendly. Then my electric water heater went out that same day and he stopped by to ensure his work wasn't the cause. Again on a moments notice.

Gonzalo is great.

We just bought our first electric vehicle and needed to install a level 2 EVSE. After contacting four electricians, Gonzalo was very responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and gave the most reasonable estimate. He was also very flexible as far as scheduling.

He came. He was super nice. He did the job. He was clean. The charger works.

Gonzalo was five stars. I had a ceiling light that wasn't working. He responded to my inquiry right away, was so nice to make time even though I missed our first appointment by accident. And fixed the issue right away (problem was not caused by my original thesis so I am very glad I got a professional), and charged me a very reasonable rate. We've found our go-to electrician in the east bay.
