Clever Electric

Just finishing remodeling my house. My, the owner of Clever electric, was extremely professional. The entire electric crew are courteous, neat, pay attention to details, on time. They know the code and their electrical stuff. I added RGB lights in the living room and LED strips in the coffer walls. Clever Electric did an awesome job. I would definitely recommend them if you need electrician.

What I needed done: My son’s room has a stupid fluorescent lighting ballast hanging on the ceiling for lighting and I hate it. The cord runs down the wall and INTO the socket where I can’t get to it (as it’s electrical and will kill me). I also need that outlet to be always on instead of switched and the lighting to run directly from the switch.
Called Clever Electric last Thursday. We set up a date for Tuesday. He arrived at around 8:10 a.m., looked at the room and went to work. He and another electrician had the job done in LESS THAN AN HOUR. The good news? They didn’t even have to turn off the electricity in the house to do it!
Good work. Great price. They put plastic sheets down over all of my son’s stuff before working, cleaned up after themselves and generally left the house nicer than it had been before they got there.
I am hiring them back to do all of the other rooms in my house. I highly, highly recommend them!

I cannot say enough good things about Clever Electric. The team recently did electrical work at my house and I was impressed with the fact that they always arrived on time, cleaned up after the work area before leaving. Also the owner «My» was very helpful in accommodating my tight schedule. I’d use Clever Electric again without a hesitation.

Was able to convert my conventional tube lights to led after my handyman couldn’t do it. Great service and keeps his word.

I wanted to get my home wired for internet access as I was not getting the bandwidth I need using WiFi. I called a few folks to get estimates and found that Clever Electric was very reasonable. I spoke with My and he was very knowledgeable of what I was looking for and gave a price based on what I told him. I followed with an e-​mail to confirm the work order and date and time. My was very responsive and confirmed over e-​mail. My and his co-​worker came on time, which is very rare with contractors and handymen and got down to business. My was very flexible and gave me different options on how he can setup the enclosure and the patch panel. He did a great job that was clean and professional and finished the job on time. If you know exactly what you want and tell My in advance, he will provide the quote and do what he promised. He is willing to work with you and get the job done and does not try to trick you into spending more or change the price once he is on the job. I am very happy with the work that My did for me.

Great electrician overall!
My parents main electrical panel did not work so I called Clever Electric. They came over, took care of the problem and coordinated with PG&E and the city to get final permits. We changed it from 100 amp to 200 amp (something to this effect).
During the installation process, the electrician leg went through the ceiling and he immediately call his drywall guy to resolved the problem. This is a great sign of pride in his work.
Before any project, I always make it a point to request for any contractors insurance and Clever Electric delivered. It’s great to know that I have found a great electrician at an affordable price.

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.

Clever Electric and My Ngo did an excellent job on our house rewire providing both high quality and a low price. What was most impressive and very much appreciated was that My worked closely with us to confirm along the way adjustments and options for where outlets and switches could be placed to meet the code yet minimize the need to open up the walls. When placing a 3-​way switch where we wanted it meant tearing open a wall, My suggested another location that ended up working just as well. He and his team worked diligently and neatly. My also made sure the permits were obtained and the city inspection completed as needed. He even added extras such as a light in the attic and a timer on the bathroom fan.

We used them many months ago to replace all our smoke-​alarms etc. My Ngo was on-​time, thorough and did an outstanding job. Two thumbs up and five-​stars! We know who we will call when if we ever have any electrical issues.

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!

A contractor friend referred us to (and highly recommended) Clever Electric to install a ceiling fan in our bedroom where no previous fan or light existed. My Ngo had to install the mounting bracket and electrical box in the ceiling and run the wiring for the wall switch. He also assembled and mounted the fan.
He arrived on time, prepped the room to keep it clean, and explained our options.
He worked quickly and completed the job to our total satisfaction. He was friendly and professional. The fan looks like it was always there. The rate was very reasonable. We will call Clever Electric for all our future electrical needs.

These guys are amazing! I just moved to the area, so I started my search for an electrician to do a complete rewire of my Eichler home including a new 200 Amp panel by calling the 3 highest rated electricians on Unilocal in my area. I ended up getting 5 bids, which were all way above our budget, and then I did a random Google search and Clever Electric popped up, and I thought, why not. My Ngo from Clever came out the next day and gave me a much more reasonable bid, and he also brought up some code related issues that no one else did, so I could tell he really knew his stuff. He was really flexible with my schedule and design changes, and we passed our code inspections without any trouble. Most importantly though, he and his partner were really professional and respectful, cleaned up after themselves every day, answered every call, and made the whole crazy process of a complete remodel much less stressful. I can’t recommend them highly enough! I’m sure they’ll end up in the highest rated on Unilocal some day soon.

We used Clever Electric to install a new sub panel and grounding conductor for our 50 years old rental. This was the second time we use them. Our experience with them both times were very pleasant. My, the owner, was very reliable and professional. The rates were reasonable. We would definitely use them again.

I had Clever Electric ground my entire house (small 3 bed 2 bath), replace the electrical panel, and install recessed lighting in the living room. They sent a 3 man crew up to El Cerrito (1 hour drive), arrived at 8:00am on Saturday morning, and finished at 6:00pm the same day. Clever Electric is licensed and insured, and would have done the work with a permit for a few hundred dollars if I had chosen that. The price was very reasonable, and the crew was professional, quick, and polite. They were also very responsive by email and phone.

We hired Clever Electric to install multiple external electric outlets, an outside flood light and to replace a transistor in one of our interior lights. We were very pleased with his work, professionalism and competitive rates.
