Greenelectric US

We highly recommend working with Andres and Greenelectric US. I manage a small graduate school, and Greenelectric US has done several jobs for us. They have always done a fantastic job. Andres is very thorough, and during the estimate process will give you multiple options. If you have any electrical work that needs to be done, I highly recommend reaching out to Andres!

This review is totally overdue. Andres upgraded the electrical panel for my house in Berkeley last year. I was moving to the East coast and needed a bunch of the electrical work done to bring my house to a rentable condition before my departure. The timing was tight but I still wanted to talked to several electricians to make sure that I was getting the best quality of work with a reasonable price tag.

Andres' quote was one of the best and his work was excellent. I have worked with some electricians in the past; some of the them did not have the patience--I am pretty handy so it is not like I was clueless--or capacity to explain to you how the system works and some others tended to leave a mess behind them (scratched my floor or poked (with a screwdriver) the asbestos off my fuse box in my bedroom closet and dropped the asbestos everywhere around me while telling me that asbestos was so hazardous that he would not touch the fuse panel until I had someone remove the asbesto. Seriously?! I was still sleeping there and I had to clean up all the asbestos myself after that technician left! Needless to say, that one did not get hired.). Andres was exceptional. Not only did he clean up after, he actually patched up around the new receptacles that he installed. He got everything done in the time frame that I set and passed the city inspection in one go!

Andres also has a very warm personality that it is just such joy being around him. I think subconsciously I was being a bit selfish that I wanted to keep him to myself and have been putting off this review. As Thanksgiving is approaching I was going through the list of things I that was thankful for; I definitely think that meeting Andres was one of the things on my list.

If I ever move back to Berkeley I will definitely use Andres again for any the electrical work that I need in the future.

After giving me an appointment, at the last moment he (Andres) called to reschedule it forcing me to change all my plans for the day!
he then gave me an estimate which was 40% higher than all the other quotes I received.
Horrible.
Fortunately, there are many reliable and honest electricians out there.
I ended up using the services of KR electric in San Ramon I am was extremely happy with their quality and price.

I emailed electricians though Yelp for a job in San Francisco. Andres emailed me right away we scheduled an appointment, and he showed up on time. The problem was actually more serious that I thought, but Andres quickly diagnosed it and fixed it. A year later I called him again for a bigger job, and once again he came through. The job was complex so it took a few hours to complete, and he and his crew were very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend him for any electrical needs, Big or small. His fees are very reasonable.

Andres is very good. His rates were literally half of the local competition. Yet, his workmanship was excellent. He covered all the bases and ran clean conduits sealing all the holes. He didn't overload any circuits no matter how old the equipment is (in Piedmont...it can be OLD!). He stuck to his quote even if a little extra work was involved. He came quickly and dealt with a complex problem fast. I would use his services again no question.

My father's house in the Berkeley Hills, built in 1930, was still using the old original glass fuses. When they started to blow, we called in two different electricians. The first came by and said he had never worked on any system old like this. The second came by, said he was familiar with these old fuse systems and could fix it. However, he never came back as scheduled and his office never returned any further calls from us. I was fortunate to find Andres at Green Electric. He actually answered his own phone, and I explained our problem. He came out to take a look and told us he had done about 50 of these old glass fuse changeover jobs. He was professional, honest, and efficient. We couldn't have been happier with the work he did upgrading to a modern current electrical circuit panel. My 90 year old father really enjoyed Andres as well. I would highly recommend Green Electric and Andres.

Andres is the best. He found some time for me, was on time, super professional, quickly diagnosed what was wrong, and went out for a part to replace it.

I want to know what's going on, and he had no problem answering all my questions, offering suggestions and alternatives. He was correcting work that was done poorly, and tested other outlets near by to reevaluate their work, and trouble shoot where their errors were.

Quick, delightful, honest, very capable, and cheap. He charged me for only an hour, even though he was here for almost twice that.

What a great electrician.

Andre was personable, but showed up late and never actually emailed me the quote he had promised.

Highly recommend Greenelectric US. Andres responded to my inquiry within a couple hours; met with me twice to ensure the scope of project was accurate; provided a reasonable quote and completed the project ahead of schedule. Andres makes sure that the customer is satisfied and provides personal touches that many contractors ignore, such as thorough clean up following the project. Responsive, knowledgeable and reasonably priced electrical contractor.

Andres has finished four projects for us and we are about to start another outside job. I first found out about Andres when I had to upgrade our house to 220 wiring. I called three or four electricians and all of them were very general, busy, expensive and discouraging. I found Andres on the internet. After explaining the situation to him he came to our house, explained what had to be done, his price fit our household budget, and he did an excellent job. After the job passed the city inspection, he did some inside wiring, he also put up several outside lights, he did all the wiring for three rooms in our garage conversion and we will soon start another project. Andres is an excellent electrician, has great people skills, knows the city codes, and is very professional. I highly recommend him to all. His prices are very reasonable considering how expensive the electrical business can be.
