With 30 years of experience, Mike is a seasoned electrician. Inspired by his father, a union electrician, Mike chose this path after graduating from college. Starting in non-union shops with little structure, he sought a more stable work environment. Two years in non-union work led him to embrace the opportunity when the union sought his expertise. He enrolled in the union apprenticeship program and has never regretted it. After five years, he became a qualified journeyman, working on large commercial projects for Cupertino, Rosendin, and Sprig Electric. He has worked on projects for Intel, Google, Applied Materials, Microsoft, Stanford, HP, Xilinx, and many other large commercial endeavors for the union. The Army Corps of Engineers brought Mike on board in 1998 to change panels at Fort Ord as part of RP Richards construction. Mike took the leap to establish his own business in 2001. The dot-com crash was the final push he needed to pursue this venture. Thus, Tri-Phase came into existence.

Mike was amazing. I called him at the last minute and he was able to accommodate me. He knew exactly what was wrong with the outlet and fixed it in minutes. Really appreciated his efficiency and friendly manner.

Mike from Tri-Phase Electric is one of the most responsive people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I hired him to do a wiring job we needed quickly in November 2016 when we bought a CNC machine. He found time to fit me in and did a great job. He also guarantees his work for 5 years. So, when the machine stopped working in April, and we found out it was that the breaker blew, he immediately came out, swapped the breakers, and didn't charge me a thing, and we were right back up and running. As we moved on to a new CNC machine and a second machine this past week, he again came in with a reasonable quote and found the time to fit me in quickly. The fact that he'll work with me via text in the evening, after normal working hours, to help quote a job I knew I needed done quickly, speaks volumes. Small business owners, and hardworking people in general, will do what it takes to get the job done, even outside of normal operating hours. He knew I had a business to run and I needed the services performed quickly. He'll always give you options too, so don't be afraid to discuss alternatives. Don't waste your time with other electricians. Whether it's a small house project, or a large business project, Mike will take care of you. He's always pleasant and professional. A true pleasure to do business with. We will continue to utilize him as our business needs grow and change for our shop.

Mike literally saved me hundreds today for a ballast wiring lol. He's super helpful and courtesy and even it was a very simple problem , he took the time to explain lol. No one else on yelp did. Will definitely hire him for more complicated electrical problem in the future

I had some electricity problem at my house yesterday (some lights wouldn't turn on). I sent a few messages on yelp to some companies asking about rate and availability. Mike replied very fast. He was straight forward and mentioned he's booked for 2 weeks but offered some tips I could try myself, in details. After I tried them today, it worked.
Some other companies either didn't reply or quoted me really expensive to just come have a look (and took me 10 min to fix, and I'm sure much less time for experienced electricians to fix) .
Anyway, I really appreciate his effort. He gained nothing from taking time to message me back and forth and trying to help.
Thank you, Mike. I will definitely keep this company in mind if I need electrical work in the future!

I was referred to Mike at Tri-phase by a lamp store for the commericial indoor lighting project in our facility which had about 1700 fluorescent light bulbs to be replaced by about 1000 LED bulbs at the end. Mike did an excellent job with very reasonable price. I highly recommend Mike without reservation.

I like Mike's experience and qualification shown during the on-site visit so I asked him to match one lowest bid I had. Mike didn't match exactly but lowered his quote that was accepted. During the course of the project, Mike patiently wholehearted met our different demands which were changing all the time, professionally unbiased advised us on the type of LED bulbs and emergency light rebuild kit for commercial building, installed new LED bulbs for different kinds of fixture/wiring some of which have emergency lighting (this demonstrated his electrician expertise), advised us and found a cheapest recycle shop for us--as you can imaging we could not simply dumped 1700 bulbs--, and took all those fluorescent light bulbs to the recycle which he didn't ask for but I voluntarily paid for his extra service.

About half-way in the project, it was obvious to Mike and me that Mike and his partner spent more time than his quote, Mike once mentioned he would loss money on this project but didn't ask for renegotiation and still took his time to finish the job professionally. I appreciated and tried to compensate some by adding two new smaller jobs which I think were still far less to compensate. I have read Yelp reviews for a long time but this is the first time I write a Yelp review--I think I owe Mike this review and it is overdue.

I first had Mike over to remove an ugly chandelier that came with the house and replace with recessed lighting. I had no idea what pattern to drill the lights in but Mike was patient with me and gave me his suggestion, as well as backups in case I didn't like his #1 pick (I went with his first suggestion and the lighting is perfect in my house). Mike was the only electrician that told me that we need to get the lights with higher lumens because of my high ceilings. Mike proved to me that he knew his stuff. Oh, and he charged less than the other guys.

Then I had him over to replace all the ugly light fixtures in the house, change out all the light switches, install an electric car charger in the garage, mount a chandelier from the 20 foot ceiling, and add a few GFI and regular outlets in various places around the house. After countless hours and thousands of dollars, I can confidently say that Mike is the best. He has a great personality and is super reasonable (lower than the rest).

He is awesome. Cleans up after himself. Beautiful work. Can't recommend enough.

We hired Mike to install recessed lights and 2 fans in our 2 story town home. Mike was extremely professional and did an excellent job. In one of the rooms Mike identified a problem with the wiring that would cost us a lot. He told us about it in advance without jumping right in. He completed the job on time and was very easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Mike at Tri-Phase Electric been my go-to electrician lately, and has helped make my long and painful renovation slightly less long and painful.

TPE installed recessed LED lights throughout our entire townhouse (completely changing the feel of the place), as well as tackled several obnoxious and unexpected electrical needs like installing dedicated line for a washer/dryer, and rerouting some troublesome lines to prep for demo. It's an old and cramped place, and everything is less accessible than it should be, but each time, Mike's been responsive, professional, very fairly priced, and very easy to work with. He's also highly dedicated to customer service, and after we changed our minds about some kitchen lighting that he had already done, he threw in a good amount of free service to make sure we were satisfied.

I'd highly recommend Tri-Phase Electric for any electrical task, big or small. Mike is honest and fair, and it's clear he takes pride in the quality of his work and service.

Mike installed recessed lighting throughout our house last year. He provided good recommendations regarding placement and bulb selection. In the one case where we didn't take his advice, I now wish we had. He performed the work well and stuck to his original quote even when it became clear that the job was more than he bargained for. I would definitely recommend Mike.
