Guerreros Electric Inc

These guys were great! Brandon and Damien came out for two problems, one of which involved much sleuthing in addition to just needing to be fixed. They figured it out and fixed, gave me some tips and options for things to do going forward. Excellent customer service and great competence.

All the wonderful reviews are accurate. Carlos and his team were honest, reasonably priced, and went above and beyond what I asked of them. I had a decent sized project and he went out of his way to fix other little issues along the way without charging any extra. He answers his phone each time I have called, and also responds to emails very quickly. He also suggested some ways to save money on the work. Will definitely hire again without hesitation if needed!

Really classy guys. We had just moved into a new house and the electric was on the fritz, and we called these guys in a panic to come out on a Saturday and fix everything (lights and outlets all over the house). Instead of coming and charging us for their time, my husband spoke extensively with Carlos on the phone (who returned our panicked call promptly on a weekend), and Carlos' advice was to first call PG&E, who could come and check our main power source...for free. We did, and PG&E was able to fix the problem (which Carlos correctly diagnosed over the phone), saving us a bunch of time, money, and peace of mind. Seriously...a very classy move. We'll be keeping these guys on speed dial for when we do actually need them.

Last friday we awoke to find we'd lost power on a bunch of GFCI outlets all over our kitchen, including a ""master"" one that controlled some of the others but that couldn't be reset. I called Guerreros and they said they'd try to schedule us for middle of next week. Then a short time later I got a call from Carlos saying they'd unexpectedly finished up a job in less time than they thought it would take and they could come by in about 30 minutes. Done deal. They arrived, in short order figured out that the circuit breakers in the breaker box were mislabeled (which had confused me when I was trying to figure out what was going on) and corrected that. Then they replaced the GFCI outlet that couldn't be reset, and Voila! Everything worked. All in less than an hour. Nice people, seem like they really know what they're doing. They're the first ones I'm calling if we have other electrical problems. Five stars.

I would give 6 stars to Carlos and his team if I could. We engaged Guerreros Electric to remove the K&T wiring and update the electrical in our house. The entire experience was a very positive one (it sounds odd to say that about a team of 5 electricians moving around the entire house, crawlspace, and attic for five days, but it's true).

A few things stand out to me about Guerreros Electric. First, Carlos is very precise and straightforward. The quote was detailed and, importantly, included a list of things that were not included in the quote, which is helpful for ensuring that everyone is on the same page about what work will, and will not, be done. His accuracy was refreshing.

Second, Carlos knows the code and he will tell you what needs to be done to pass inspection, as well as what would not be up to code. (After our inspection was completed, I overheard Carlos discussing with the inspector an atypical scenario from another job, to determine what would be the correct manner to proceed. This impressed me!)

Third, his team worked together professionally and efficiently. Much of their work involves someone under the house coordinating with someone inside the house. It is obvious that his team has worked together for a long time. In addition, Carlos holds his team to a high standard, illustrated by his discussing code requirements with them, in his inspections of their work, and the team's strict adherence to keeping everything neat and orderly. The entire team was also responsive to our questions and they were happy to accommodate our preferences.

Fourth, Carlos has a great eye for lighting design, in addition to his technical expertise. Our dining room had a sad light in the center of a tray ceiling. I wanted better lighting but could not figure out a way to do it without making the room looking unbalanced (as the dining room table is not centered in the room). Carlos recommended a solution involving recessed lights and pendant lights. The result is unbelievable. Is it weird to love sitting in a dining room, just to enjoy the lighting?

We feel like we not only made a great investment in the fundamentals of the house (the type of improvement that is good for the property value, but not one that is necessarily ""visible""), but the improved lighting has also markedly improved our daily enjoyment of being in the house. Money well spent, from multiple perspectives.

Highly recommended.

Last week half the electricity in our house went out, and we were left scrambling for expert electrical help on Saturday morning. Finding an available electrician is like winning the lottery, but miraculously I reached Carlos, who was exceptionally responsive. On the phone he took the time to trouble shoot, but his team was booked well into the following week. Since his followup and phone consulting were incredible, we decided to wait for Guerreros Electric. Our expectations were exceeded in person, as Carlos fixed the problem and educated us about our electrical system. I highly recommend Guerreros Electric, and I will definitely call them again when we need an electrician.

Carlos and his team helped us out of a jam. Great communication throughout the process and great follow up. We recommend Guerreros Electric wholeheartedly.

Carlos and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. We had something ""blow out"" in the middle of the night, which meant half our house had no electricity when we woke up. On the phone, before even discussing any charges for his services, he walked me through all the troubleshooting steps I could take before a professional would need to come out. Once we determined that it was something I could fix (a new fuse), he was at my home within 30 minutes, and for a very reasonable initial consultation fee, fixed the issue within about an hour, and didn't charge me any more than what he said on the phone. He also noticed an issue on the outside of the building which PG&E needs to fix, and went out of his way to help me call their emergency line, explain the issue, and schedule them to come out and fix a wire which was a fire hazard! We live in an old building, so I definitely plan to work with Guerreros Electric again in the future! Thanks Carlos!

Carlos and his team did an outstanding job rewiring our 1920s Berkeley home. Our ceiling lights and switches were fed by original knob and tube that was hidden away in a barely accessible crawl space that was also filled with blown insulation.

Carlos was able to disconnect, replace, and remove the knob and tube with a minimum of holes in the wall. His work was precise, and he kept the area totally clean. I was amazed at how little dust or debris was evident.

He finished most of the work in two days (faster than I expected) and gave us a great recommendation for someone who specializes in wall repair. In less than a week, the job was done; and the interior finishes look perfect -- impressive considering that we have plaster walls with several different textures.

The new wiring in the basement crawlspace is tidy, and Carlos also upgraded some of the switches on the breaker box.

Throughout the process, Carlos responded to all of my questions promptly and thoroughly.

I'd absolutely work with him again, and recommend him highly.

I recently bought an old house (built 1928) and it, like many older houses, had too few electrical outlets and many it did have weren't grounded. I had them rewire existing outlets as well as add a few more outlets to the living room, dining room, two bedrooms, and the laundry room. They were up-front about having to cut holes and how patching wasn't their area of expertise so I might need to do patching afterward.

It took them two days. When I saw their work, it was very well done and almost looked like they were never there. (At worst, there were a few extremely small areas that need some touch-up.) I'm extremely pleased with their work.
