Recommended Customer Reviews

Rich was recommended to me when I was moving into my home and needed prompt installation of new power sources. He is very knowledgable and provided great insight about projects that were more urgent, then ideas for the future. He and his team were so easy to work with and when I had a question arise after the work was completed, Rich was quick to respond in order to resolve the issue. Highly recommend!

Rich came out to add canned lights to my condo because it was very dark.
His team did an outstanding job installing the lights in the living room, hallway and 2 bedrooms.
They also replaced 2 original bathroom fans from 1972 that were extremely loud with 2 Ultra Quiet ones.
They were totally dependable, respectful, neat and hard working.
I am so THRILLED with the transformation of my condo thanks to Rich's recommendations and thorough attention to detail during the job and his follow up after the job was done.
From now on I will only use their company with any electrical needs.

Rich Gobbell and his team at Northern Lights Electric did an excellent job of adding ten LED lights into the vaulted living room ceiling (seven art spots and three site specific floods). They also hung my antique light fixture, perfectly centered over the dining table, and added necessary dimmer switches. Rich handled obtaining two permits for the work (Rossmoor and Walnut Creek), the inspection, made sure that the work was done properly to code, plus brought in a top notch painter to do patching and painting. Everything was included in one proposal price and I am well pleased with the results. I highly recommend this professional firm.

We have been having Rich and his team improve our lighting for several years. Each time we work with them, I am beyond pleased with the finished product, professionalism of his staff, and their willingness to go above and beyond. I always feel confident that the work will be done well, even if I am not home while it's happening. If I am home, his well-trained technicians are courteous and professional, and a pleasure to have around. I can't recommend this company enough.

Rich and team are professional, clean and diligent. They aren't the cheapest but their pricing is fair and the work is excellent. Highly recommended for any electrical needs.

We have known Rich and Northern lights for a few years now, in fact, he did all of our electrical when we remodeled our house in 2018 / 2019. What a great team of professionals. They worked closely with our designer and contractor. In the end, Northern Lights, was on time and on budgit. They are our go-to-company for any electrical needs...period!

Being a first time home buyer and wanting to do renovations, you can easily be misled or oversold on the work you envision. Rich and Team fully delivered on our vision. The estimate was spot on, the team showed up when they said they would. The were professional, communicative and hyper aware of our WFH situation. The got the work done ahead of schedule and we couldn't be happier.
Work contracted to do:
1. Install 8 ceiling LED can lights on a Lutron switch
2. Install power and light in hall closet
3. Install fan and power outlet in studio
4. Install exhaust fan in master bath
5. Install 3 ceiling LED lights in primary closet
Patch and pant.
Highly.. Highly recommend Rich and his team.

I have nothing but great things to say about Rich and the team at Northern Lights. They handled a very complex main panel upgrade and multiple sub-panel installations that included almost a half mile of trenched conduits, and they were fantastic throughout.
I've worked with many contractors and subcontractors, and with time you just have a feel for a ""good shop"" - Northern Lights fits that description perfectly. They are hard working, knowledgeable, competent, cheerful...all the things you want from a business entrusted with vital work on your home.

We hired Northern Lights to do some move-in electrical work to upgrade our new home. Our projects included: installing recessed lighting, setting up our internet, installing a wire-free setup for our wall-mounted TV, adding extra wall outlets, updating our fusebox, rewiring all our bedroom lighting fixtures and setting up an ethernet internet cable in multiple rooms. Rich was extremely responsive, provided a detailed quote in a timely manner (unlike other contractors that leave you hanging at times!) and even gave suggestions of how to save money while still improving upon some of our initial plans. They got us booked and scheduled promptly. Because the work was being done during the pandemic summer, the crew was incredibly professional, meticulous and safe. Every effort was made to follow safety measures and to keep the project areas sectioned off and clean. They were even patient and friendly with my toddler who was excited about her new friends at the house which was so sweet. All the work was well done and Rich checked in throughout the process and afterwards with follow-up to make sure we were happy! Northern Lights is the company that I will continue to use and have already referred my friends, family and neighbors too!

We are thankful and blessed to have Northern lights upgrading our main electrical panel and installing our outdoor sauna hub. Rich's team is awesome and you can definitely count on them to give you a peace of mind on any job!
Rich helped us scheduled with PG&E, coordinated every single steps and all their team includes PG&E showed up very on time, really impressive! Their works are excellent, detailed, beautifully done includes matching exact same color paint after patching. Rich is very responsive to all of the calls, emails, texts and very professional. A team you can trust and also strictly follow Covid protocol very safe!
Thanks again Rich and please also extend our gratitude towards your team. Will sure have couple more upgrading projects in the near future and will contact you again!
