Had an emergency electrical problem Friday morning, and it had to be fixed before that evening. Found Karl Sherry on this website, so I called. He answered in person, and after explaining what the problem was, he said he would leave another job nearby and come over. He came within 45 minutes and the electrical problem was solved by him within an hour. Everyone was happy that evening with the lighting results. Thanks Karl.

Our experience with Karl Sherry Electric has been terrific. We had several problems in our new house. Several outlets to replace and many lights to change out. Larry was responsive, punctual and professional. We are happy to have an electrician to call that we can depend on. Very professional.

Karl responded very quickly to an emergency I had (no water and mysteriously non-working lights). He was efficient, extremely knowledgeable and professional. He squeezed me in at the end of the day as he happened to be close by. There's a reason Karl is booked 6 months out... this guy is top drawer! Highly recommend.

Karl has done multiple jobs at my shop & home in Nevada City over the past few years like new outlets, fan replacements, new lights & new breaker units installed. He is awesome & has been doing this a long time so he knows what he is doing! He will get the job done & do it right! His team is not afraid to get dirty under your house or building if need be! I would highly recommend him for any type of electrical work you may need!

You can't do better than Karl Sherry Electric. I purchased a Tesla and needed a 50amp 240V outlet installed in my garage. It turns out my subpanel wouldn't accommodate it and had to be replaced. Karl and his crew got me exactly what I needed and I couldn't be more impressed. They were very professional, friendly and honest and the work performed was exemplary. It's clear Karl has had a lot of experience with Tesla charger installs and his advice proved to be invaluable. While here, I also had him service my Generac generator and once again, I was very pleased. Karl will be my ""go to"" for my electrical needs moving forward. Very highly recommended!

My husband and I tried to change out the lights in our kitchen and the wiring was really weird. We worked on it from 8 am until about 6 pm before we gave up (after we blew out a light switch). The next day, we decided to call a professional. Karl squeezed us in the same day. He and his partner came in and had everything fixed in 30 minutes. My husband and I were shocked that it was so easy for them. They also fixed our three-way light that had never worked before. The price was a fraction of what ABT had quoted me per hour of work. If we have any more electrical issues, I will definitely call Karl again.
