John Fasolas Running Electric
Company Overview
At Running Electric, we pride ourselves on being a full-service electrical contractor that values personalized customer service. Our services include a wide range of offerings such as solar design, data solutions, electrical installations, and certainly, we can tackle those CA Title 24 issues for you as well.
Having worked in the electrical field since 1972 in Pennsylvania, I transitioned to California where I studied for and passed the state contractor's exam. I take pleasure in being part of an industry that constantly evolves. The ongoing education is both stimulating and enjoyable. Following product development and introducing new and cutting-edge products from the market to your residences and businesses is a reward in itself.
I’m John Fasolas, the principal at Running Electric. I enjoy contributing my time and resources to our community. We annually adorn a tall Redwood Tree for the Felton Business Association during Christmas. In addition, I coordinate the electrical distribution for the Redwood Mountain Faire, a charity event organized by the San Lorenzo Valley Women's Club. There are too many projects to name.
I enjoy gathering old toys and odd items, which are showcased at our home. We offer tours of our collection every so often.

Recommended Customer Reviews

John and crew are awesome, get-it-done kind of guys.
I needed a generator reconnected and he took care of the difficult electric *and* the gas reconnect and got everything running smooth and fast before the next PG&E outage hit.
A very capable team and great to work with.

John and his crew have done quite a lot of outstanding work at our house in the past. They already are my go-to electricians.
What in writing about here goes above and beyond. Last week, John was scheduled to come by to talk about some future work and to fix a couple of problems that I had briefly mentioned on the phone.
Business came up at the last minute and I left John a late night voicemail canceling our appointment, which he apparently didn't get it and called me the next morning saying he was at my house and had already found and fixed the problem in our backyard water shed, chatted with my contractor and got started on another project that needed to be done.
I applaud John's initiative, reliability, honesty, dependability, and overall great work. Call these guys! These are the electricians you're looking for

John and his team are wonderful to work with, easy to communicate with and he explains the work to be done in a way a non-electrical person can understand. While here doing work to get us generator-ready, he made some great lighting recommendations too! Always on time, very reasonable cost, and extremely thorough. And they clean up the area so as you never knew they were here. Great guy.

I wish all contractors worked like John and his crew. He shows up on time, he gets the work done quickly, his fees are reasonable... and the dogs love him!

Great, fast service. John and Gio were a pleasure to work with.

John did a great job on my landscape lighting. No visible wires, just the beautiful outdoor fixtures! He can fix any electrical problem as he is the most knowledgeable electrician in our valley.

John and Spike installed a ceiling fan for me. It was a new installation in my condo (no existing fan or light), and I was afraid that it would involve either several holes in the ceiling that would need to be patched or ugly surface-mounted Wiremold. However, they fished the wire through the ceiling without any extra holes. The installation was done in about 2 hours. They cleaned up and did not leave any mess. Fantastic job!

Used John to do a Solar Installation. He did the installation with the solar products I chose,
per my research. He produced plans which respected view corridors. He and his staff
performed on schedule and completed on time. The monitoring system included, allowed
him to observe implementation snafu's and correct them.
