Shields Electric

Jeff and Nathan were amazing. They removed an old panel and fuse box and installed a new panel. Their work was flawless, they showed up on time and were genuinely nice guys. I will definitely do business with them again!

We recently purchased an older home with old knob & tube wiring. Originally, we had planned to just spruce up the kitchen but became very aware of the need to upgrade our electric. We found Jeff & his team through a friend (confirmed by Angie's List ratings) and could not be more pleased.

They are professional, honest, on-time, thorough, reasonably priced, and straight-forward. They never up-sold us on products and services but provided all available options.

When Jeff first came in, knowing that we were on a budget and hadn't expected a need for extensive electrical work, he gave it to us straight - told us the bare minimum we could do but also gave us his recommendation. We are so glad we listened to him. Up in the attic, the old wires were surrounded by blackened insulation! I can't imagine if we hadn't taken care of it and the imminent danger we'd be living in!

He provided a very timely and reasonable estimate and worked us in, knowing how anxious we were to get the project done. His team arrived early, were extremely friendly, & got the work done quickly. The outcome was fantastic. Once the work was completed, they sent us an invoice by email which we promptly paid and then they promptly sent a receipt. Additionally, they worked extremely well with the other contractors working on our kitchen remodel.

We ended up expanding the project to include the addition of upgraded sockets in two other rooms and redoing the garage and didn't think twice about calling on Jeff. Just as he was with the first project, he was extremely responsive.

Shields Electric will become our go-to electrician from here on out and we are delighted to share our positive experience with anyone looking for a good electrician.

In detail, the work they performed was:
- Removed old knob & tube wiring in kitchen (which required re-doing the electric in the attic and working in the basement)
- Replaced with GFI protected outlets
- Designed & installed ceiling recessed lights
- Installed under-cabinet lights
- Installed 2 pendants
- Upgraded electric in 2 other rooms
- Completely overhauled garage electric - added lights, 220 outlets, etc.

I called Shields Electric due to their good reviews on yelp. They did not disappoint.

Initally, they came out to provide an estimate on a few projects around the house. Jeff seemed very knowledgable and thorough. Prices seemed reasonable.

We then decided to proceed, initially, on some sconce work in our living room. The work was done yesterday and we couldn't be happier! His workers arrived a little early (they called ahead to make sure this was OK). They were VERY nice guys and made sure to check with me about the placement of the fixtures. Work was done in the time estimated and they even cleaned up all excess dust.

I would highly recommend their services!! We will be using them again in the future.

This review is long overdue. We called Jeff a while back to install some recessed lights in our living room. We told him what we wanted and he (gingerly) suggested something slightly different. The end result was something we never could have come up with on our own- we love it! The icing on the cake is that the whold job was completed in one day (a few days after we called) and Jeff is just about the nicest, coolest guy you could know. Highly recommend and would not trust my home with anyone else.

Amazing! These guys are pros and so concerned about great customer service. I moved into an older home in east sac and heave been out twice, for two different issues. On both occasions they bent over backwards to meet my schedule and were prompt, courteous and consummate professionals. I highly recommend them.

I needed to get a couple of external power outlets installed at my house. I saw all the great reviews here for Shields Electric, so I gave them a call. Jeff Shields came out to have a look and explained to me exactly what he planned to do and got my approval on everything. A few days later they gave me the estimate, then came out and did the work the following day.

They estimated an 8am to 11am timeframe, arrived a few minutes before 8, and finished a few minutes before 11. The work was done very professionally - exactly what they said they would do. It was all very professional and well-done work. I'm very happy and would recommend them for any electrical work.

Jeff is the most professional electrician I have ever met. I had an emergency problem and Jeff came and saved the day. He contacted me instantly, worked me through the whole process and completed the project as stated. He understood the urgency I was in and put everything aside to get the job done. He contacted the city, got all the paper work done and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Jeff Shields to anyone. Thanks again Jeff. I look would definitely call you again and recommend you to everyone.

I called Shield out based on the glowing Yelp reviews and unfortunately did not have a good experience. I had a circut breaker continually switching off and the Sheild technician recommended a whole new electrical panel. He also said if he just replaced the breaker he couldn't guarantee the work. I told him I'd have to get quotes for the panel work. So I had another electrician out for a quote, he said the panel was older, but fine. Replaced the breaker, total cost $240 (rather than the $2,000 plus Shield wanted for a new panel. Then I requested a refund of my $125 service call from Shield and Jeff immediately agreed on the phone to send it to me. That was a month and two reminder phone calls from me ago. Still no check.

One stop shopping for all your electrician needs. Jeff is reliable, reasonable, and honest.

Allison R.

These guys are great. We were unaware, but had a SMUD issue that Jeff pointed out (another electrician failed to do so and could have cost us our brand new TV). He was super helpful....VERY reasonable and I would recommend them to anyone. We will for sure be calling them back to have some audio/ wiring work done in the future. In all honesty....look no further if you need an electrician...these are your guys!
