Power + Light

We worked with Jason from Power+Light after a personal recommendation and his work is excellent and high quality. He and owner Mike communicate well (Email and Phone) and are great to work with. Jason fixed (reworked) all the wiring in our old control cabinet for safety and in a later job added an EV charger for us and debugged a faulty outlet. Quality work from great local people, highly recommend!

We just used Power + Light to modernize our electrical system and some other electric projects and we highly recommend them.

We bought our home in Dec and Mike came out the Sat before Xmas to give us an estimate, which was very reasonable. It was also easy scheduling the work for the beginning of Jan.

Jason came out and updated our wiring, which had been going into an old fuse box in a tight corner of a closet. He also installed an EV power station and confirmed the safety of the wiring in our attic (so we can get it insulated), as per our original plan. He was also able to work with us (and give his thoughts) for some on the fly projects to add/move some outlets and install a garage door panel.

It was always easy working with Mike and Jason. We always felt like we knew what was going on and there were no surprises. It was also a reasonable price. I highly recommend Power + Light and intend to use them for all our electric needs.

We're in the midst of a construction project where Jason from Power and Light is doing our electrical work. We have been very happy with the work, the level of communication, turnaround time, options being presented to us in a clear manner. Jason has been a pleasure to work with. We've passed all of our inspections without issues. I highly recommend Power & Light. No complaints at all.

Michael Grin and his crew from Power + Light did a small wiring job for us, installing a new circuit and a receptacle. The whole process was very efficient and they did a great job for a fair price. You will not get a better electrician than this, timely, responsive, knowledgeable, and great work.

Had a chance to work with Power and Light again which confirmed again that they are not only expert electricians but super honest when it comes time to giving opinions and advice on what electrical work really needs to get done and when the work other electricians are trying to convince you is essential really isn't.

The whole experience was pretty perfect. Called Mike for an estimate. He came the next day, and provided the estimate when he said he would. That alone is a rarity in the Bay Area these days. They scheduled the job for not too far out. Mike had to reschedule once, but he communicated that well in advance.

Seth and Jason were out here to perform the work. They were professional, efficient, courteous. They cleaned up the work area better than any contractor we've ever had. In fact, in the area where they were working, a whole jug of detergent had spilled before they got there. Seth cleaned it up for us and they left their work area better than how they found it.

Work was of good quality and price was right. Really good experience.

I have been building and renovating houses and apartments in North Oakland and Berkeley for 15 years and Power & Light are the only electricians that I will use. Mike and Jason are excellent electricians, total professionals, honest, hard working, and their prices are fair. I have never had a problem with building inspectors on electrical work. Mike knows all the recent code changes and checks and double checks every detail. He is easy to work with, doesn't get annoyed at last minute change orders from architects, and responds quickly to email and text. You won't find a more honest, dedicated professional.

We contacted Mike, Jason, & Seth from a personal recommendation. We were concerned that they did not have a web presence, but once we met them and saw the professional work they did, we were incredibly happy to have them update our electrical. They showed real pride in their craftsmanship, not charging extra to fix things to pass the inspection that was not quoted in their estimate.

DO NOT even bother calling this place, he does not return phone calls. I left 4 messages for him and never heard back. I also mentioned that I got his name and phone number from the positive Yelp reviews. I understand if you're busy, but you can at least text or call back saying that.

I interviewed 4 electricians who were highly rated on Yelp to do a major upgrade to the electrical service at my in-laws 1921 home in Oakland. All of the electricians were good, but Mike stood out as the most responsive and considerate. He and his crew coordinated with PG&E to run an upgraded 125A 120/240V Service to the house, swapped out and relocated the old meter and panels to safer and more convenient locations, provided dedicated circuits to laundry, furnace, refrigerator, microwave, and garage, installed additional outlets and light fixtures, and corrected several potentially hazardous wiring problems. His pricing was reasonable and his crew (Jason and Kevin) were a pleasure to work with. The final inspection was deemed ""perfect"" - a testament to Power+Light's workmanship.
