Los Gatos Electric

I'm still shocked at how quickly they came out to help. Got a new dryer and just assumed (dumb) the existing outlet would be fine. They came out same day and changed my 120v for a new 240v. Even helped with a couple other small things at no additional cost. Very professional, extremely knowledgeable and kind to boot! I especially appreciated the less than one hour arrival window and updates.

I had a circuit breaker that would immediately trip every time I would try to reset it. Either the breaker was bad or there was a short circuit in the wiring. It was a Sunday and I needed it fixed that day. The owner, Jim Holliday, had me text him some photos, and then he showed within an hour and replaced the breaker in a few minutes. He charged me $205; he said the weekday minimum for visits is $195 so I got a good deal. Jim's manner was friendly and professional.

Not sure who has written all the other reviews here but our experience has not been good. Moved into our new (very old) house a few months ago and called Los Gatos Electric - always like to patronize local businesses and the reviews seemed positive. Jim came to our house with his office assistant and did a house inspection, taking measurements and looking things over. We expected a comprehensive report i.e. to hang some immediate lights and give us a complete re-wiring quote in a couple of days or a week. Received a note from the assistant a couple of weeks later i.e. we are busy but will get your quote to you as quickly as possible. A week later, a text from Jim following up - still no quote and it was clear he wasn't sure which customer we were. It is a pity as we would have no doubt been good customers, but to never receive a quote or explanation is beyond strange - clearly poor business management. Obviously it is a relief as well - we can only imagine what kind of work this company does if they can't get a quote to a customer after 2 months.

I haven't had a chance to use this company but they seemed more straight forward and honest then other companies.

They are little expensive with the set price to come out; which ended up deterring me from using them.

Don't get me wrong they are better priced then many other companies that try to rip you off.

We've recently completed an electrical job with the help of LG Electric, which involved an upgrade and an addition of circuits, installation of equipment and wiring it. The pricing was very fair, the work was done in a timely manner and very professionally.

Looking forward to working with them again!

I hired Los Gatos Electric to do exterior electrical work that included adding an extra circuit to power a detached workshop building with internal and external lights and electrical outlets. The job also included adding low voltage exterior lighting to my property with timers and motion sensor lights. Jim at Los Gatos Electric is a true professional. He is focused on quality and customer satisfaction. Any time I wanted an adjustment to the work, he had his contractors respond quickly and to my satisfaction. Jim is easy to reach by phone. No waiting for days on end for return phone calls. I most especially appreciated the warranty Jim provides for his work and parts. Shortly after the external low voltage transformers were installed, they both stopped working. Jim replaced these with no cost. Amazingly, Jim even showed up on New Years Day holiday to do the work himself. Wow! I recommend Los Gatos Electric and will definitely hire them again for my future electrical needs.

My wife and I had a small electrical problem that we needed to have looked at.
I called Jim and he advised me on the phone about what to do until he arrived. He showed up on time and easily solved the problem. He was very pleasant and his workmanship was superior. Jim was a delight - I would quickly recommend him for any electrical need.

We highly recommend Los Gatos Electric. Jim and his crew installed beautiful new LED recessed lights in our kitchen and we love how it turned out. From start to finish Jim showed honesty, integrity and superior quality workmanship. Jim helped us with the design and brought us lighting choices prior to the commencement of the work. The work was performed carefully, thoroughly and on time. And, unlike many electricians, Jim's crew patched, primed and painted the ceiling so when the work was complete it really was finished and beautiful.

Jim has also replaced breakers in our electric panel when needed. Jim is a pleasure to work with and we are grateful that Jim is our electrician.

I highly recommend LGE. Fast response. Skilled and courteous employees.

They can handle everything from a lighting fixture replace to rewiring a whole house.

Jim, the owner, is honest, trustworthy and a good communicator -- something that I really value in a contractor.

Not pleased. We had previously been told that our refrigerator was not grounded and needed to be, plus we had a few other minor electrical problems. The only electrician available without having to wait for two weeks was Los Gatos Electric. We were told it was $174 for an hour. We figured that time would be spent fixing our grounding problem. It turned out there was no grounding problem. Two outlets had loose wires and were quickly fixed - that's all that was done. When we were told that the cost was still $174 for the hour, I was livid - I asked if, minimally, a few more electrical problems could be looked at, but were told they were beyond his scope and I guess time had run out . ((The man who came out was very nice, however there was a lot of time spent visiting.) I called Jim and he said that's what we had agreed and yes, he was right. My point was we didn't get $174 worth of value from work done. Not pleased.
