Wade and Son Electric

Called Wade at recommendation of a neighbor. Superb job of diagnosing the problem and then sticking with it to fix it in one call. Would use again as a first choice. This was a problem that benefitted from someone with real experience and solid work ethic.
Problem: A 4-month old new oven stopped working after behaving bizarrely. Oven repair man said the voltages coming in were bad. Called Wade. They diagnosed problem as an intermittent connection, said it was probably in a junction box leading to oven, worked to find the junction box, sure enough there was an obvious connection problem, made the necessary repair. Everything working as it should.

Jeff installed a ceiling fan and an outside floodlight camera / security system. He did an excellent and thorough job, showed up on short notice. He was also very patient with us (where others might have perhaps been annoyed) as we had to reset the system multiple times, climbing for us up and down the roof several times beyond what the installation itself would have required without charging us extra. Would hire them again, definitely recommended.

For Gods sake do not use this company. i had a very small job to do that took less than an one hour. Blown circuit caused one outlet to go out. That was it. He reset the breaker. ONE HALF HOUR.
Then we talked about future work. I did not know I was being charged for this, but OK, still only about ONE HALF HOUR. We said our goodbyes but on the way to his van he saw I had gophers and wanted to tell me how to get rid of them. I wanted to say goodbye but he insisted on this long story about his expertise on killing gophers. I got a bill charging me for this conversation almost 300.00. HIs hourly rate is 195.00.
I should have been charged for the one hour. He believes that every single second he is on your property he deserves to be paid so watch out for his extended conversations when YOU THINK he is OFF the CLOCK. Be wary. I feel so ripped off.

Jeff Wade helped us with extensive electrical work on a home we just moved into. He helped ground all outlets, rewired our electrical such that all outlets and switches work seamlessly and installed ceiling can lights throughout the entire home. The work he did was excellent, he helped guide me on lighting placement and the types of can fixtures to use. He is extremely easy to work with and dependable. Lastly, Danielle is a superb office manager who is attentive, professional and always nice to chat with. I highly recommend this business for your next project!

When we bought a home in Willow Glen (1922) it needed the electrics upgraded and made completely safe inside and out. A friend recommended this company. Don and Jeff came to assess the jobs and completed all the necessary work in a timely and efficient manner.
Since then anytime we need any upgrades to enhance our property inside and out I call Don and Jeff. I trust them with electrics in my home.
They are a family run, reliable, professional company.

As we started it was great. I sent him my drawing to be prepared. Don, the owner scheduled an appointment and all was good. He arrived and we walked the house and he took good notes to quote the job.

As we ended, things turned sideways. We kidded a bit about his bid. He said, ""you will pay for the work"" and I said that is fine then he said ""I have to compete with the Chinese people and they just want to Jew me down.""

Well, I am Jewish and I took great offense to this comment. The kicker is that the person who referred me to Wade electric is also Jewish! I guess Don Wade has paid full price for everything he has ever paid for since he doesn't like to be negotiated with on price. I bet not!

As it turns out, his bid is extremely high. For example, $250 to run one outlet! Unless his wire, outlet and box is made out of gold or it takes 2 hours to run the wire 10 ft, this guy is crazy! I will not and would not recommend this anti-Semitic old man or his company!

I will give zero star too.

I had similar experience as others , Don Wade sent an electrician, fixed the open circuit. The electrician left. Power was on now but my alarm system was beeping due to setting changed while power was off. I immediately called back electrician thinking that the it was not getting power but the problem was setting of home alarm system. In spite of his two trips to my home it was less than hour.
I received bill of $349 dollars as they charged me for two hours. When i tried to talk to Mr Wade about the charge, he was rude and unreasonable and his explanation about bill was that I have to pay for electrician travel time too......If they take two hours to reach client's home they bill for that too. my house is 15 minutes away from the company location...

I am sure you can get good service and reasonable rate like $90 per hour in market. I am never calling Don wade electric company. This is complete rip off. If they are not reasonable in pricing pretty soon their business is going to suffer.

I am a real estate broker and refer Don Wade Electric Company whenever I get the chance. My father is also in real estate and has been referring Don Wade Electric Company for over 15 years.

Jeff Wade is FANTASTIC and really knows his stuff. He works on my entire family's personal residences and always does a great job. Jeff has been able to diagnose/fix problems that other electricians had no idea what to do with.

Is Don Wade Electric Company cheap? No they are not. But you get what you pay for and in the long run it saves you money to get things done properly to begin with. I also sleep better at night knowing that my electrical work is done correctly and my family is safe!

I have used Don Wade for many, many years and referred many friends to his company without hesitation.
From my memory, the $195 is for the first hour of work. If you have one outlet to change, it's $195 plus parts. If you decide to have 3 more done as well and it can all be done in the hour, it's $195 plus parts. I can't imagine anyone having an electrician come out and not ask the cost first. Neither Don nor Jeff stand around chit-chatting about the weather as my rate per hour keeps ticking away.

I am scheduling a lot of electrical work at my house in the next couple of days and will only use Don Wade Electrical.

I am a real estate agent, and whenever one of my clients needs electrician Don Wade is the first company I recommend. Their work is excellent, they are fast, and they charge a reasonable rate. I have used them hundreds of times over the last 15 years and they have always played it strait with me. Cannot recommend them enough.
