Berkeley Electric

I've been using Berkeley Electric since we moved to Berkeley and I can't say enough good things. The main office is helpful and responsive, the technicians are masters at their craft, and we've always been happy with their work. I recommended them to my brother who needed to replace his knob and tube system, and he similarly has great things to say.

The guys at Berkeley Electric are always professional and proficient. Have done business with them several times. Highly recommend.

I recently purchased a small Craftsman home for my mother. It had been well maintained and had several upgrades but had old knob-and-tube wiring in the unrenovated areas. I could not find home insurance that would cover the home until I replaced all the wiring.

Zalman and his teams are experts in this work and quickly guided me to understand what was involved. The other contractors I talked to were much less comprehensive. He was very clear in how the process would go and how everything would be when he was done.

He finished ahead of schedule and came back to redo a small mistake without any prompting on my part or asking for any additional fee.

Wanted to replace a ceiling fan/light with a new one. Berkeley Electric was very communicative and efficient in coordinating the project. The assigned electrician was prompt, competent, courteous, and even cleaned up the area he had used afterwards. I was so happy with their service that I'd certainly hire/recommend them for another project.

Berkeley Electric replaced the original service on my 1922 house with a new 200 amp service. They were punctual, and their price was reasonable. They had good relations with the building inspectors. The quality of their work was Outstanding!

We have used Berkeley Electric on several occasions in our home. Zalman Sher, the founder, always thinks through the electrical problem carefully before offering options for repair. We are very satisfied with his service. We have always had good and lasting results with the work done by this company.

Berkeley Electric did an expert upgrade of our old knob and tube to modern wiring, including a new main distribution panel and about 50 outlets, fixtures, switches. Broke thru old lath and plaster walls and ceilings in many spots, then restored the surfaces to the point that the intrusion couldn't be seen after repainting. (they don't do the repaint.) They carry everything on their trucks, no time wasted going out for materials. Not the cheapest, but everything was done first class.

When a General Contractor mistakenly cut a power line for our exterior lights Berkeley Electric was called in to fix the problem. They arrived shortly after called and fixed everything.

A kitchen renovation included updating existing power outlets to comply with current codes. Berkeley Electric did the work quickly and at a very reasonable cost.

Berkeley Electric well deserves this five star rating based on the extraordinarily careful and thorough diagnosis they conducted in order to identify and then repair a difficult-to-identify problem that jeopardized the electrical system in our duplex. Their performance on three separate rather straightforward jobs was equally exemplary. First rate in every respect and highly recommended.

Zalman was a true professional through and through. I had just purchased a new home and found out in the disclosure that I would need to replace the main electrical panel and add a sub-panel as well. Zalman came over multiple times and made himself available to answer all my questions. He walked me through all the options and his reasoning for why certain changes should be made. He provided his expert opinion, but also understand I was working within a budget so he explained trade-offs and what would make the most sense. He was able to work within my budget, within my timeframe, and completed everything at the highest standard. Thank you very much, Zalman, it was a pleasure working with you and I will be sure to reach out for future projects.

Detailed and experienced. Great knowledge of electrical wiring of old buildings with knob and tube wiring. The owner was featured on hgtv home inspections. He knows the old homes like no one else

Had a great experience with Berkeley Electric Co. It happened one cloudy night.i called and they came and started fixing up my system as well as they could for that night.. Came back next day and finished the job, zona roberts

Zalman and Berkeley electric are responsive, enthusiastic, thorough and most importantly, highly skilled! TWENTY STAR recommendation

Excellent service. Fair prices. Nice guys. Have used 3 times will consistent and good results.

Electrician was knowledgeable and fast. Finished out numerous outlets and did a great job!

They always do the job right and know what they are doing. I know there are cheaper electricians around, but electrical wiring isn't something I want done on the cheap.

Great work. Matched exactly what was supposed to happen. Very professional about handling situation to minimize intrusiveness too.

Clear communication on price and work needed. Even completely cleaned up when done!

Fast, friendly, knowledgeable and honest. I highly recommend them!

Did a great job at a great value upgrading kitchen & bath electrics in an older home. Thank you!
