Recommended Customer Reviews

George and his team are great. I had an urgent issue and he was able to get Don and Jesus here in just two hours. They did an excellent job. GE Richardson is now my ""go to"" electrician!

GE Richardson did a fantastic job with my Tesla charger installation. They also placed 3 Ring Spotlight Camera Mount units around my house. The crew was professional, efficient and very respectful of my property. They left things cleaner than how they found it! George was very easy to work with and communication was excellent. We texted or called back and forth several times and came up with a detailed plan even before I committed to going with him. Pricing was very honest and fair and there were no surprises. George came on site to meet me on the install day and made sure everything was meeting my expectations. I have no reservations recommending GE Richardson for any electrical needs!

GE Richardson Electric did a fantastic job installing my NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage to charge my Model X much faster. They are a Tesla Certified electrician as seen on Tesla's website.
The owner, George, had really good communication throughout the whole process. We communicated over the course of a month because I needed to get my HOA approval and he helped me along with that. He did load calculations beforehand, suggested the best way to run the conduits to the outlet, got the city permit, and came for the city inspection as well. They are licensed and pay worker's comp in case your HOA needs it like mine did.
For the install, his team took 3 hours on one day, and then George came by for a short 20 minute inspection with the city inspector on another day. Usually they can do it all in the same day, it just depends on when the city has availability.
They're an all-in-one package making everything easier for you. Plus, their price was the best in the Bay Area for a Tesla Certified electrician.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed!

Used the Yelp quote process for a quote to have a 15-40 NEMA outlet installed in my garage opposite of the main breaker for my new Model 3 Tesla. The owner George responded promptly and provided aggressive pricing relative to the others. Decided to go with him and he arranged everything. Electrician showed up on time and got everything installed within a hour. There was a mix up with the permitting but it was resolved promptly and didn't affect my car delivery. After the install George called to follow-up to check how everything was. I have already provided referrals to my friends and colleagues and will continue to do so without hesitation.

George and his crew did a fantastic job with my Tesla/EV charger installation. George took all the details down over the phone and came up with a very reasonable estimate which was pretty much spot on after he made the trip out to take a look in person look at the project. It was two difficult runs of a 100a and 50a lines (over 100') but Dan and Jesus knocked it out of the park with a very clean install. They were friendly and personable and would definitely call them again. Highly recommended! :-) Thanks guys!

Stay clear from this business! If I could give them ZERO stars, I would. They charged me $770 to trouble shoot my garage breaker that lost electricity and they couldn't even diagnose a simple problem! Way overpriced! If you have a trouble shooting job, I do not recommend calling this company. Find another electrician as there are better ones who are more knowledgeable. I have used other electricians who were not as much and more fair/upfront in their pricing/practices. I understand that this was a ""trouble shooting"" job, but boy did I not feel good after they left and paying them $770 for hardly anything. There were no parts involved. $770 was just labor time and they didn't even fix the problem! I just wanted his crew to turn my garage power back on as there was a ""short"". Dan and John continued to work after an hour to find the wires that were ""shorting"", but I wish they just left after fixing the breaker within that hour, or told me what exactly they were going to do and how much it was going to cost me! I should have put a cap on the amount BEFORE they came, which is what I was trying to do when I made the initial call to George. I tried asking George for a cap at the initial phone call, but he told me that ""most problems are resolved in that first hour with two experienced electricians"" and therefore would not give me a cap. Be sure to insist on a cap! George came at the end of the job to check on his two guys in the last 15-20 min or so and started chatting to me and had the gall to say, ""By the way, it'll cost you another $90 more than what Dan already invoiced you already."" (REALLY??? for YOU to chat with me, trying to rally more business for yourself, informing me that I could make my house Smart, explaining to me exactly what Dan/John had already explained to me and leaving without a diagnosis! What a RIP OFF! Unethical! So uncool.) LEARNINGS: Always get a cap (max amount) of what you are willing to pay for the job BEFORE they come. And don't chat unnecessarily to them as they will be charging you by the minute for nothing! Recommend going elsewhere that has better business practices. It's one of those situations where you feel like a FOOL by paying this much for not much about anything!
UPDATE: I called my regular electrician and realize how inexperienced Dan and John truly are at trouble shooting. My regular electrician diagnosed the problem within 15 minutes, not hours!!! He fixed EVERYTHING and then upgraded all my parts in one hour--parts and labor for $150! So WARNING, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AS THEY WILL OVERCHARGE YOU FOR NOT EVEN FINDING THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE NOT AS GOOD AS THEY SAY THEY ARE!!! $770 vs $150, you judge. After speaking with my electrician, I realize Dan and John were not efficient with their time or my time. They had no idea what they were doing.

George and his crew are awesome,
I have been running electricity from generators rented from the Home Depot for the last three days I finally use yelp to find the best electrician to help with this issue I was having with the flickering lights. George's screw came out the same day to resolve the issue and at a very very reasonable price I will hire them for any electrical future needs in my home. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family
Thanks George and Crew

Great service from start to finish! George scheduled a team of two to fix a few items that needed to be fixed before close of escrow. He communicated everything clearly and his quote was very fair. The two electricians Dan & John were both very professional, efficient & knew what they were doing! I would hire them back in a minute & highly recommend to anyone seeking a great electrical contractor!

Wow! Incredible service. I had a breaker go bad on an old panel that impacted my refrigerator. George Richardson got two of his electricians over to my home within the hour and swapped out the bad breaker and my refrigerator running FAST. The price was incredibly fair! Electricians - Dan and John were polite, knowledgeable and efficient. I will use GE Richardson Electric for all future repairs. He and his team provide incredible customer service.

We primarily handle sales and property management in Santa Clara. George was hired to upgrade the main panel, and ground the home electric system. He also installed can lighting in all bedrooms. A quality job done on schedule and cost effective.
Side Note:
He also noticed while under the home, that the A/C ducting had not been properly attached, which caused flow beneath the home. The home owner contacted the A/C contractor of install to fix the issue at no charge. Problem solved!
We will certainly use George and team going forward.
