outstanding service and work!! It was the only electric company that did not require $100+ up front. On time and fine work.

I found Mainstream while searching for EV charging station installers, selected them based on all of the positive reviews, and am now happy to add another 5-star review. Rick came out for an estimate, was quick to understand what I wanted, and emailed an estimate before leaving the premises. The estimate reflected exactly what I'd asked for & was competitive, so I scheduled the work. No long lead time; I called on Friday and the job was scheduled for the following week. Rick and crew showed up on time, with a call in advance to let me know their ETA, they had everything they needed, they finished the job that day, and they cleaned up well afterward. Especially appreciate Frank's thorough double-checking to verify that all switches, outlets, and appliances were working after we switched the power back on at the panel. New EV charger and everything else is working great. Very happy overall with the experience. Mainstream will be my first call next time I need electrical work.

I dealt with Rick. From beginning to end it was ridiculously easy to secure an estimate, move to schedule time on my calendar and to him showing up and fixing my problem. Unreal technology involved in the entire process with texts, mobile app and follow up calls to confirm everything! Honestly a class organization from cradle to grave, these folks are not messing around. I have never written a positive review about an electric company but was compelled to given their world class service. Thank you Main Stream - i will use you for every single electric need in our future!

The lights on my bathroom's two bulb heater fan stopped working. I called Main Stream Electric & electrician Frank Samayoa came to look at the problem. After asking a couple questions, he diagnosed the problem quickly, suggested a temporary repair until the unit which was defective could be replaced & had the lights working in virtually no time at all. As soon as I replace the heater fan, I'm calling Main Stream Electric & requesting Frank come back & install it, even though I'm a Raider fan & he likes the Forty Niners. Seriously, he is very knowledgeable, professional & explains what he is going to do clearly. Call Main Stream when you want quality electrical work.

I had an electrical problem that was pretty bad. Another ""Electrician"" came out to do the work and made everything worse while telling me how he was ""blessing"" me by giving me such a good deal on the work. He was just awful. I finally decided to call someone else to fix the problems once and for all. Came across Main Stream Electric and took a chance. I was not really expecting it to go well at all, but from the first interaction with Rick and his crew (Ricky, Gabe, Slavich and Joseph) I was totally surprised. They are honest, trustworthy, dependable and knew what they were doing. They all showed respect and listened to any questions we had. They took into account our schedule and worked around it the best they could. I have high praise for these guys. I will definitely be referring them to anyone looking for great electricians. The work is reasonably priced and warrantied.

Recently had to have Rick come back out to address a problem that came up and he was able to resolve it quickly and efficiently. All in all, it has been a great experience dealing with this company and this crew in particular. Electrical issues have been fixed and I am beyond relieved. If need be, I will DEFINITELY use this company again.

Main Stream Electric is an approved vendor by Bosch so I used them to put in my car charger. Working with them was so easy and scheduling was a breeze. They did what they said they would and for the price they said they would and I would highly recommend them. Joe made sure I was happy with the work and kept me informed all the way through the job. Thank you all!

After calling several electricians (none of which had people answering phones or were available for at least a month) I called Main Street. Someone picked up the phone every time I called, she was nice and very efficient at setting up my appointment which for both the estimate and the work was next day service. A gentleman named Carlin was assigned to come out and give me an estimate. I am not at all educated in electrical work but Carlin was very helpful in helping me determine the best course of action for my needs and informative on the lingo I was not familiar with. Once the work was scheduled Carlin came back out and worked with me effortlessly, even when I threw him a curve ball and changed the layout of my plugs before he actually set them. He does excellent work very sturdy and well done in a timely manor, I also had him replace a plug and fix another while he was here which he was happy to do. Mainstream runs a tight ship and also has a paperless correspondence system that is easy to navigate and understand. Very helpful people and very nice. They will be my go to referral moving forward.

Carlin was outstanding. Very professional knowledgeable, on time and thorough. We had light fixtures and multiple outlets out and he quickly fixed the problem as well as checking other possible future problems. This guy really went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. Not to mention having to communicate between both the owners and the renters of our home. Been meaning to write this review for a few weeks now- thank you Carlin

I contacted Main Stream Electric and scheduled an appointment almost immediatley with the dispatch and had a free estimate done the next day. I was nearly an hour late for our meeting but Carlin, the technician who waited for me understood my situation and was really cool about it.. Carlin gave me a lot of great information about the lighting in my house and what was causing the issues. After determining the best course of action to correct my lighting, he gave me a very fast and reasonable quote. The next day Carlin came through on short notice and installed everything we discussed the day before. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very fast with his installation. When he finished the install he left my house clean and I was all in all very satisfied with his service. The whole process was really fast. Carlin made the entire process a pleasure. I really enjoyed working with him and I will definitely be calling again for any of my electrical needs around my house. Main Stream gets the 5 star from me, due to the hassle free process and the excellent customer service provided by Carlin. Thank you Carlin!!!
