Towery Electric

Towery Electric wasn't the first electrician I called but they will from now on be the only one I call! My wife and I had just bought a Tesla and wanted to install a fast charger in our garage. Some of our neighbors had fast chargers installed and they paid as much as $1,700 for the installation alone! I called around and was consistently quoted over $1K and was even quoted a starting price of $1,200 from one of the most well known companies in the area that specialize in this.

Towery Electric was the only company that I called that gave me an honest assessment about how much it might cost to have the charger installed. They told me that the cost could depend on several factors (distance to the panel, quality of the panel and breakers, etc.). And at the end of the call, they told me that based on my situation and set up, that it would probably be best to be charged by the hour ($150/hour) and that it would probably be a 3-4 hour job.

After finally receiving the charger in the mail, I called Towery to make the appointment. They called me back right away and I was set up with an appointment the next morning! The electrician they sent came right on time, and after just a little over 3 hours, they were done! Total cost was just under $600 which included material costs! The installation was super clean, looks professional and cost half as much as most of the quotes I had gotten from other companies! Definitely a recommend from me!

Amazing! he took my cold call, asked a few question, suggested a quick solution and it worked! I was expecting to have to make an appointment, wait a few days with a crucial kitchen circuit out of service, etc. but instead he helped me fix my problem over the phone, no charge! Towery is my electrician from now on!

I needed two replacement ceiling fans installed and Towery Electric took excellent care of me! The office was attentive and accommodating to my schedule and the techs were polite, efficient and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them!

Towery electric and Alex in particular were great. He was very competent and assessed my electrical needs well and made a great recommendation. He was very trustworthy and will definitely use him in the future.

We've had a lot of vendors in our house over the past year and Victor and Nico were by far some of the most professional. Not only did they arrive at the scheduled time (so rare these days) but they did a really great and through job throughout the whole project (run wiring for ceiling pendants/wall sconces, rerouting electrical for switches, etc).  Victor was very communicative about what he was doing. It's clear he takes pride in his work and it shows in his attention to detail. Safety is clearly paramount and it shows. Highly recommend this team!

Victor arrived on time. We had a few electrical issues to troubleshoot. He was knowledgeable and had a great attitude, and spent time explaining what was going on. He found and fixed the known problems. He also discovered an unknown somewhat bigger problem with our main panel. He went to get some parts and fixed it the same day. Overall, I'm very happy with the experience.

David came on time wearing a mask and we gave him instructions on what we needed done. It was complex; it included exterior lighting and solar light meter and connect two outside nest cameras in a difficult location. He did it all perfectly he even went above and beyond taking pictures of the QR codes expediting the camera connection. He is polite personable and diligent. And we are thrilled with the results!

Absolutely fantastic! Alex was there on time got the job done perfectly and called back to follow up and make sure everything was done correctly and I had no concerns. Best service I've received in my twenty three years in Marin County. I will be using them exclusively for any electrical issues I have from here on in.

I hired Alex for a job at the recommendation of my contractor during a small remodel. As many jobs go, the scope increased and Alex agreed to all of the work providing detailed estimates. However, when Alex sent invoices they were opaque to what part of the estimate they covered, and only after sometimes multiple requests was there additional detail provided so it was clear what was considered completed and paid for and what was not.

Part of the job involved putting in a new ground for new electrical and somehow his guys managed to hit our water main (from the street) twice. After they hit it the first time, I showed them where the pipe ran underground... and somehow they still managed to hit it again 10 feet away on their second attempt. Alex took care of the situation as rapidly as he could, but we went a couple of days without water, which was a challenge during Covid homeschooling and working and required us to get a hotel room for a day.

The last project Alex agreed to do for us was update the electrical panel on our house. This is a long process with PGE starting with an application and then waiting until PGE is ready. I asked Alex for a timeline a few times and was repeatedly told there was nothing he could do. 7 months after Alex submitted the original request with PGE, he informed us he could not do the job and offered to help transfer it to someone else. At that point, I called PGE to see what happened and it turns out the application was cancelled 5 months ago due to non-response from Alex. So after waiting 7 months we will be starting the process over and will have an idle air conditioner we cannot hook up for the summer months due to his lack of understanding of the process or his lack of care of us as customers.

Bottom line - aside from hitting the water main TWICE (seriously - less likely than hitting the lottery), the work Alex's guys did was good work technically and aesthetically. His team was responsive and courteous. Alex's responsiveness was hit and miss, and his reliability was poor.
