What is an electrical panel? Think of your home electrical system as having branches like a tree and your electrical panel is the trunk of the tree. The power from the electric utility company flows through large wires to your home and into the panel. From the panel, the current flows into major electrical branches, which dwindle into smaller and smaller branches, providing power to every part of your home. If too much power were to flow into the wires in your home, they could potentially melt and fires could possibly start.
Need house rewiring in San Jose? House wiring is a major job, but if the wiring in your house is old or hazardous, a house rewire would be an urgent safety matter. Things you want to check for are the color of the cables. If you find black colored cables entering the consumer unit, this is an immediate sign that the wiring needs to be checked.

I needed to change the outlet of my condo from 110 to 220 and they did a good job. I will definitely recommend Clever Electric.

I hired Clever Electric to do the electrical work for my entire house that I'm remodeling. It's a huge project and since my house is about 100 years old, you can imagine how dated the electrical was. First of all, I chose Clever Electric because My submitted the most thorough and detailed estimate. Each item was very specific with its cost individually.

They spent over 2 weeks at my house cutting through drywall and putting in new wiring. They always cleaned up their mess and hauled their garbage away. The workmanship from My and his crew is fantastic. They really pay close attention to detail and best of all, they listen to their clients and want to do exactly what makes the homeowner happy. My is willing to do the extra work and not take any short cuts.

He even recommended for me to add on more switches/outlets at no additional charge. His price is very fair but most of all, he's honest. My and his crew will be back at my house to do all the finishings. I'm sure after they're done, I will be extremely happy with my home. If you're looking for an honest and reliable electrician, Clever Electric is the one. Very highly recommended.

I hired Clever Electric to install a Tesla Wall Connector for my wife's Model 3. His team arrived on time, analyzed the capacity of my panel and did quick work of the installation. His prices are so much more affordable vs. what Tesla's approved vendors were charging. I'm satisfied with the installation and pricing. Call the other guys and also get a quote from Clever Electric and you will see the difference. It's night and day.

I had an old light switch in the kitchen that never was replaced. It was the original one. It finally needed replacing after 30 years. The owner of Clever Electric came and he worked on it quickly. He finished replacing the light switch under 15 minutes. He was pretty skilled in his craft. I will use him again when I have a need to fix/replace other electrical outlets and switches.

I called Clever Electric yesterday to inquire about some electrical work needed. The first thing he said was "it will cost you $129 for me to come out and look" in a not so nice manner. He probably was on the job or in a bad mood but if you can't answer the phone in a nice way then don't answer. If he had said it to me in a nice professional manner and said that would go towards the whole bill I would have considered hiring him since they have such great reviews. Not now.

I cannot say enough good things about Clever Electric! My responded to my inquiry in a very timely manner and came out two days later to assess the project. The quote was very fair and the work was completed the following week. Very impressed with the customer service, level of efficiency and quality of work!

My and his team are really nice and efficient. I really appreciate their quick response time and service. Since we've moved into our 1980s home, we've been working hard to bring it to the times with our SmartThings. When one of our smart switches wasn't working in the hallway, My came quickly and found the problem. We also hired him to install a NEMA outlet for us and he was able to give us a competitive rate for it as well.

While he was here for the NEMA outlet, I asked him about my garbage disposal outlet in the kitchen, and he was able to find out what was wrong with it and fix it for me. Honestly, his team is great and I know he will be the only electrician we will be using for now on!

My and his team are very professional and efficient execution. I had rewiring done for my entire home, new panel, adding new power outlets in kitchen, outdoor and several rooms, add grounding to all outlets in home and also fixed some wiring issues in two way switch in attic. They cleaned up place every day after work and I did not have to move out during entire work as they provided temporary power to refrigerator and important areas. I would recommend my and his team for all electrical work.

This is way overdue and I should have written this earlier. These guys are professional and return the calls immediately and even text you before they come onsite. The work performed is professional and he cleans up before leaving. I am very impressed. I had them add a 240 in the kitchen and also added a 20amp 240 plug for my electric car. The price was very reasonable but best of all, he returns the call immediately, comes right on time or will notify you if there is any delay and does a clean professional job. I rarely find a contractor that I can truly praise but these guys get my vote.

My was excellent in his communication and service. I have him removed the existing fluorescent light fixture and installed a new flush-mount ceiling light. He re-assembled the removed fluorescent fixture and put this at the side. And tidied up the new ceiling light box and offered to sweep the floor when the job was done. In addition he patched up the holes used for the fluorescent fixture. Overall, I will get him again if I need any electrical work or projects to be done.

I've used My and his team twice in the last 18 months. They installed our security cameras, our security lights and several interior lights. My is really easy going and I've always felt comfortable around him and his crew. When I informed My today that his guy hadn't yet shown, he ended up driving over to make sure I was taken care of. Minh came today, and despite him being a little late, he's a nice guy and did a good job. Between the two of them making up for lost time, I was happy. I will continue to use My and his team in the future.

I have been remodeling 3 houses over the last year. I was a former contractor so I am pretty knowledgeable. Clever Electric is outstanding. My (owners name) and his team are fast and professional. I have now used them for 3 major projects. Two whole house re-wires and some work at my house. I was shocked at how expertly they were able to re-wire houses with minimal damage to walls.

My is very professional, fast and responsive. His prices are outstanding. I have dealt with many electricans (bids and work done over the years) and I can tell you that Clever is top notch and they are now my go to team for all electrical needs.

Clever Electric removed old florescent tubing, closed up the ceiling indentation and installed 7 LED recessed lighting fixtures. You can barely see the difference between the old ceiling, paint and texture and the replaced ceiling, paint and texture. Mike gave good recommendations for the kind of work that needed to be done and his crew did a great job. Minimal dust and noise. Took About 8 hours. I'm very happy with the work.

My and his crew are great. I'm afraid with all these great reviews, he might get too busy, but I have o share. He did a bunch of work at my house including a 200amp panel upgrade and 2 bathroom fan installs w/ timers. He took care of all the inspections and everything passed with any issues. He arrives early and always cleans up a the end of the day. I would hesitate to recommend Clever Electric to anyone.

Great Electrician! After getting few bids, I decided to try this company after I saw a review for a Eichler panel upgrade. Pricing was fair than most of the other bids I got. Job schedule was flexible and they were able to upgrade my Eichler panel to 200amp at the same location where the old panel was with minimum downtime. (No overnight without power). The job was clean and passed inspection on the first time. (^_^) If you are looking to get your Eichler power panel upgraded, make sure you talk to these guys!
