Power Up Electric

I was very, very happy with the service & work provided by Power Up Electric. I had to get an electric charger installed in the garage, which also required the installation of new electrical pipes, etc through concrete. Gabriel was very responsive after I initially called and gave a very thorough and fair estimate. They completed the work on time and went above and beyond (even cleaning out a bunch of leaves and spiderwebs from my garage and putting all the dirt/plants back that they had to dig up). I will definitely use them as my go-to electricians.

These people are incredible. Intelligent, kind, helpful, on time, efficient. I really can't recommend them enough. Frank was a true gentleman and Gerardo was great too. Use them.

The first time I worked with Power Up Electric was three years ago when I moved to Montecito Heights and had them install a ceiling fan. They did such a great job that they've been my go-to electricians since then: another ceiling fan, electric car charger, and in-ceiling/wall stereo install later. They are always on-time, professional, courteous, on-budget and leave the house just as clean as when they arrived.

One of those vendors who is just a pleasure to work with.

What a great experience! I had a last minute issue that was very time sensitive. Gabriel came out himself within 2 hours of my call. I got a really competitive price from him and assurance that he could finish the job safely and on time. The next morning, Frank showed up on time and with some great new ideas on how to solve my electrical issue. There were no major price fluctuations like I'm experiencing with other contractors I am working with. This is just an honest business with skill, heart, and great attention to detail. I highly recommend them.

I called last thurs and the guy who answered the phone said to email Martin and give him details. Very weird that they couldn't jus send somebody over since they are on my block doing work already but I sent the email but no response or call back so on tues we called the 800 number on the truck since they still on my block and Gabriel said the same thing to email Martin so I did again and still no call or anything. Such bad customer service big time maybe they do good work if u could get a hold of them instead of them telling u to email the owner. Never ever had a business do that before that you are trying to hire.

We reached out to several electricians for bids, and although Power Up Electric came in a bit higher than the others, we felt confident they would do the best job because they were prompt in scheduling a time to give us a quote, and followed up immediately after our meeting with a price for their services. No one else we met with were as responsive and timely.

Sure enough, they did a fantastic job! We are very happy with the work and loved dealing with Frank and the crew. It was a pleasant experience all around, and we will definitely be referring them to family and friends!

Waited 3 months to write review so that we can assess the projects that were done and the follow ups if needed.
Started with a small job - replacing/repair conduit/wiring from house to garage, then replacing an electrical panel, finally rewiring the entire home. Each project was completed on time as specific.
Power Up handled the entire permit and inspection process where needed without any delays.
The estimates were provided by Gabriel and Franklin and the bids were detailed as to what they would provide. Both of them are extremely knowledgeable and offered excellent explanations and recommendations throughout the contracted work.
The crew, lead by Franklin, worked together well and efficiently with excellent daily cleanup at the end of each day. They were on time every morning for the 3 separate projects.
The prices were not the lowest, but were competitive and reasonable for the efficiency and professionalism they offered.
Power Up is highly recommended and we would definitely use them again. Have them give you an estimate if you need electrical work to be done.

Martin and Gabriel are absolutely terrific! Easy to work with, a terrific attitude, and totally reliable - just what I wanted. A three generation testament to great work.

Would call them again in a minute.

I cannot stress how much I really love these guys. It is always dangerous to revisit anything that was perfect for fear perfection won't be achieved, yet I achieved perfection for a second time with Power Up who had done major work for me previously when I converted a room into a home office.

I digress: one night, apropos of nothing, a part of my home electric stopped working. The refrigerator wouldn't run, an electrical circuit wouldn't work and I was contemplating losing everything in my freezer/refrigerator, but found a working plug and ran it through extension, so I just had a problem and called an emergency electrician to come do the work. I didn't understand a word of what he said, but he said he had rigged something and it ought to hold out It was a thousand bucks (well earned -- he was under the house for three days) and I found out (although his explanations were impossible for a lay person to understand) that my house, originally built in 1947, and improved upon several times had some of the original wiring which wasn't serving well and some new that wasn't working well and it would probably hold up, unless it didn't then all bets were off. I offered him a chance to bid on the full repair, and he came over, kept talking, and wasn't heard from again.

So I wrote Frank and the Power Up team who had done a remarkable job previously (see my other review). Best thing I ever did. It wasn't cheap, but my whole house was brought up to code and I have every reason to believe my biggest electrical problem here may be a burnt-out bulb. Thorough -- he brought a crew of 4 and it was about ten days of work, did everything to perfection -- installed two new big TVs, one in a room that had never been wired for TV, rewired everything, put a new hood in over the grill (advising me on how to get the right one), made everything invisible.

But the real kicker, beyond them always showing up on time, always walking me through the days work and the work remaining (it's a very noisy process so I was, to be honest, losing my mind) cleaning up every day -- laying ground cover everyplace. But I forgot the real kicker -- they see this through -- they have come over three times since completion to help me figure out some of the stuff, to get to a(n outdoor motion sensing) light that got overlooked in the original bid, charging me only for the fixture itself, putting in a ring doorbell (which I decided to do midway through the work) and seeing every aspect through. Frank has said that he's basically on call for any issues for a year, and he's one of the few people I totally believe will see that through. Hopefully, I won't need him again (nice guy, though, I'll miss him), but I KNOW without a doubt, that if I do, he'll be here.

This is electrical work, though, and I'm a dunce and don't want any surprises with it. I will be using him again to complete a room here, but I wouldn't hesitate to call him again no matter what. With electrical you get what you pay for, and I feel very, very satisfied that I was able to return to Power Up.

(And God laughed -- the day after they finished, we had a lighting strike and power surge which froze my router completely -- Frank was out after I replaced the router to make sure everything was taken care of. Just sayin' this is where you want to be for major electrical work).

Fantastic work by Martin and his crew. They did a large, somewhat complicated project on our home. Very professional throughout; quick, clear, and consistent communication; precise, rigorous, and detail-focused. Martín is a really good guy and pleasant to work with, and his crew was professional, courteous, and trustworthy. Will definitely hire them again for the next big project.
