Wooding Electric

Wendy P.

We have an older house that has some remodeling and circuits added. Lately our Dryer has not been heating and we found that one leg of the breaker was tripping. We had Scott come over to replace the breaker and also fix several breakers that were not correct. He was here when he said he would be and did a fantastic job correcting all the issues that had been building over time. I can highly recommend him and his company for any electrical work. You won't be disappointed.

I had a sudden electrical issue (tripped circuit breaker-severe short circuit) arise on a Sunday and left a message with another acclaimed-on-Yelp electrician. They called me back at Noon on Monday and said their next available appointment was in THREE MONTHS. Well, having part of my house without electricity for that long wasn't an option, so I checked Yelp again and found Wooding Electric. Jessica promptly answered the phone and was very professional. Quoted the service call fee and it seemed reasonable. Confirmed an appointment from 2-4 that day and Scott Wooding arrived toward the end of that timeframe. What a great guy. Hard working, knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor. He really seems to enjoy his job. My issue wasn't easy to pinpoint, and he didn't give up until he found it. In the process, he found one outlet with poor wiring (fixed) and two exposed connections (no junction box) in my attic. He took pictures of these issues that have been lying dormant for years.

Ultimately, the issue that caused my short circuit was a freak circumstance behind a seldom used drawstring light that had poor connections underneath it. He worked just under 3 hours and charged me a little more than 2x the 1 hour service call they quoted me. I will definitely call them again to fix my issues in the attic as well as replacing my ancient circuit breaker panel.

My house in Cupertino had strange electrical problems, like voltage not stable, light flickering, computer shut off when major appliance in use, etc. PGE guy came and found an issue with the service line coming to my house at backyard. PGE guy looked at my main service panel and told me there was a copper wire shouldn't be there, and I needed to fix it before they can change the line.

I had no idea as I didn't do anything electrical since I bought the house few years ago. I called Wooding Electric. They had operator to dispatch service call. Scott called back within the day. He came and looked, but not sure what the concern PGE had, said he need to check his contact. I called him the next day and he said he can fix it for $250. I agreed and Scott came coupe days later. He spent 20mins to remove a 15 inch ground wire from my main service panel. Scott told me PGE don't like any wire on their side of the panel.

I called PGE after, and they came to replace the service line to my house. All those strange electrical problems went away. Since it was a quick fix, I called Scott and asked for a discount. He told me 250 is already discounted. While I'm not sure about that, I'm glad PGE fixed the problem.

Wooding Electric came by yesterday to fix my doorbell. It had been going off for over 30 hours but was making a noise similar to a smoke detector, so you bet I was about ready to punch a hole through my wall.

When Scott arrived on the scene, he immediately spotted some nearby smoke detectors that the last owner had left in a box with the batteries still in (which is a waste of good batteries I'd say!). Although I was ready to pay the transportation/service appointment fee, Scott was cool and waived the fee.

Wooding was easy to get a hold of and schedule an appointment with. I got my appointment the day after I called, so that's a good turnaround time. The one mix-up was that I was told I would receive a discount for being a customer of my specific home warranty company, but when I called the home warranty company to send a work order to Wooding, they said they wouldn't send it to Wooding because it was for something the home warranty company does not cover. So I would have liked Wooding to have been a little more alert about that. The discount wasn't a deal-breaker though.

That said, I'd recommend giving them a call if you've got something that requires their expertise.

I contacted Wooding Electric to get help on replacing a heating element in a bathroom fan. Jessica is fast in response (via phone and email), nice to talk with. Scott is professional, honest and did a great job in a timely manner.
I would use them again for my future electric project.
Highly recommended.
Keep good working!

Like the others said, Scott Wooding is a great guy. He's professional, courteous, and does a great job in a timely manner. I highly recommend Wooding Electric.

One of the main feed wires in my electrical panel burnt itself out due to a bad previous install and half of my house was without power. The next morning I called Wooding Electric at 8:30 and they said a technician will be there at 10am. Scott showed up right on time then did a quick survey and told me everything that needed to be fixed or replaced and gave me a quote. I agreed and he went to work. He replaced the crappy previous panel, replaced the mast on the roof that connected to the lines from the pole, installed proper grounding, mounted a new higher capacity panel, connected all the wires, labeled it all and was done the same day (with help from an assistant)! Everything was back up and running and the new equipment looks great.

As far as price goes, I can't really comment because I didn't get any other quotes to compare it to; I just wanted it fixed as soon as possible the right way. Scott did a proper job and took care of the permits as well. Thank you Scott!

We found Wooding Electric through yelp when we had a circuit go out in our house. The technician was thorough but couldn't find the problem. When they had to schedule a second visit to find and fix the problem it was disappointing. However, when Scott and the technician came back they solved our problem in short order. In the end they spent about 8 hours here and because Scott knew that it was an inconvenience to be home from work for two days instead of one, the bill was very reasonable. I would use them again!

Since 1993, Scott has come to solve my electrical problems. Not only does he have a clear method of estimating costs, he is professional, on time, and has a great sense of humor. I recommend Wooding Electric for any size job, because the end product will be right on and correct every single time.

I am a property manager and am very happy with the work Wooding Electric does. We've sent Scott out for some unusual problems, and he always solved them. My tenants really like how friendly and prompt he is. In more than 10 years and 25 jobs we've never had a call back, he does it right the first time. His prices are quite reasonable and his invoices clear and easy to understand. I can recommend him to others with confidence.

Wooding Electric is a first class operation. I called the offices in the afternoon with my problem and 90 minute later Scott was at my door. After a little Q&A Scott immediately honed in on the problem and had my lights back on in no time. The entire process was smooth with all charges being fair and conveyed upfront. Also, Scott is just a cool guy that you won't mind having in your home.
