Urban Energy

I just had my car charger installed by Fergal from Urban Energy. The reasons for 5 star rating:

1- The price is far better than everything else I have been quoted.
2- The punctuality, always on time. He let's you know if he is running 5 minutes behind.
3- He listened to my preferences. and provided me with different options.
4- He is licensed so when I asked for City Permit because of my HOA requirements, He had no problem doing that. (needless to mention other electricians once they heard about this requierement they either stopped responding or wanted to charge me just for the permit as much as these guys charged me for the whole job) CRAZY.

I love these guys and I would recommend them to anyone. They are great to work with and amazing all the way around. Made the experience painless and enjoyable.

Thank you Fergal for the great job you did.

We had 80% of our kitchen lighting MR16 fixtures give out and no longer accept new bulbs after 5 years of use. When looking for Electricians our landlord recommended his electrical contractor at Urban Energy. We contacted Fergal with Urban Energy who provided quick responses and initial self troubleshooting solutions before providing an estimate for what Urban Energy could do to solve the issue. I was able to speed up the labor time by sending pictures of the lighting fixtures to Urban Energy so that Fergal could arrive fully prepared to provide an LED retrofitting. Fergal performed the task under his initial time estimate and we now have a fully operational LED kitchen lighting system with dimmer.

Fergal at Urban Energy is a great electrician. He is a very professional electrical contractor...very responsive and trustworthy. I used his services to install my EV vehicle charger. Highly recommended.

Fergal had been very helpful in getting a box set up in my condo with a ceiling fan. So helpful, in fact, that I wanted to engage Urban Energy for a bigger project in my building. I emailed over 2 weeks ago to request a quote, and I never got a response. I followed up a week ago with a voice mail, but that has not been answered, either.

I know they do good work, so I won't give them two stars. But the silent treatment isn't exactly helpful.

These guys are great. They show up on time, work hard, clean up after themselves, and are a pleasure to work with.

I have used Urban Energy twice over the past year. One was to retro-fit 13 recessed lights from incandescent to LED fixtures and the second was to help us with some remodel work that required an electrical permit and a licensed electrician who could make sure all of our electrical work was done properly and up to code.

In both cases Urban Energy did an outstanding job. They are professional through and through, use good judgment and are reasonably priced. On both jobs, they showed up on time, were courteous, hard working and efficient. They did their work, made sure everything was working properly and left my apartment in a clean and orderly fashion.

If you're looking for quality work, that you can depend on, at a reasonable price, contact Fergal Mac Donnell at Urban Energy. You'll be happy you did!

Urban Energy did a very professional job installing new electrical in my garage for my new Tesla. My car came earlier than anticipated and Fergal was able to have Damien come out early Monday morning and get the job done well and promptly. It was quite exciting to plug the car in for the first time and have everyone working to my satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Urban Energy if you happen to buy an electric car or for other electrical needs.

Fergal and his crew did the electrical on our home renovation. They were prompt, professional and just really nice people. We would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone.

Fergal, Joe and Gary were super helpful with installing our EV charging station in our condominium building. It was the first install in our building and the process took a long time, but they were always available with suggestions and comments. When the time came to install, they did it quickly and we are very happy with the install quality.

I called Fergal because of all of the positive reviews and because the business information said that they served SF and surrounding areas.

Was Oakland a surrounding area? Yes, it was.

We had had previous electrical work done by an electrician who did good work but who gave us an estimate for subsequent work that was several orders of magnitude both above our budget and above other estimates we'd received.

We chose Fergal and Urban Energy as our electrical contractors for our subsequent work for several reasons:
a) polite, clear, and timely communication
b) a fair estimate
c) patience and respect

Tom arrived promptly (ahead of schedule, and was politely waiting in his car until the time of our morning appointment.) He explained our options and the work he would be doing, and also estimated the amount of time that each work item would take. He worked efficiently and neatly, cleaning up after himself and leaving the work areas tidy.

We were happy to have found a reliable, communicative electrical contractor and will definitely be calling Urban Energy again. I'm happy to answer specifics re: the scope of the work and the amount we paid through direct messages.
