The excellence in Altadena electrical services

Gustavio and Marcio are both amazing. They did excellent work. I’m very happy with their service. They always come when called and help me out. They have a great attitude and get the job done. I appreciate that they always give me the price before they start. Highly recommend.

What a great experience! I had a last minute issue that was very time sensitive. Gabriel came out himself within 2 hours of my call. I got a really competitive price from him and assurance that he could finish the job safely and on time. The next morning, Frank showed up on time and with some great new ideas on how to solve my electrical issue. There were no major price fluctuations like I’m experiencing with other contractors I am working with. This is just an honest business with skill, heart, and great attention to detail. I highly recommend them.

Power up Electric is simply the best. My Husband and our new homeowners of a very old Victorian and have had a number of electrical issues. He was able to diagnose our issue and had it fixed in no time. He is also easy to reach for any follow-up. I’ve got my electrician in CA!

I cannot stress how much I really love these guys. It is always dangerous to revisit anything that was perfect for fear perfection won’t be achieved, yet I achieved perfection for a second time with Power Up who had done major work for me previously when I converted a room into a home office.

I digress: one night, apropos of nothing, a part of my home electric stopped working. The refrigerator wouldn’t run, an electrical circuit wouldn’t work and I was contemplating losing everything in my freezer/refrigerator, but found a working plug and ran it through extension, so I just had a problem and called an emergency electrician to come do the work. I didn’t understand a word of what he said, but he said he had rigged something and it ought to hold out It was a thousand bucks (well earned — he was under the house for three days) and I found out (although his explanations were impossible for a lay person to understand) that my house, originally built in 1947, and improved upon several times had some of the original wiring which wasn’t serving well and some new that wasn’t working well and it would probably hold up, unless it didn’t then all bets were off. I offered him a chance to bid on the full repair, and he came over, kept talking, and wasn’t heard from again.

So I wrote Frank and the Power Up team who had done a remarkable job previously (see my other review). Best thing I ever did. It wasn’t cheap, but my whole house was brought up to code and I have every reason to believe my biggest electrical problem here may be a burnt-out bulb. Thorough — he brought a crew of 4 and it was about ten days of work, did everything to perfection — installed two new big TVs, one in a room that had never been wired for TV, rewired everything, put a new hood in over the grill (advising me on how to get the right one), made everything invisible.

But the real kicker, beyond them always showing up on time, always walking me through the days work and the work remaining (it’s a very noisy process so I was, to be honest, losing my mind) cleaning up every day — laying ground cover everyplace. But I forgot the real kicker — they see this through — they have come over three times since completion to help me figure out some of the stuff, to get to a(n outdoor motion sensing) light that got overlooked in the original bid, charging me only for the fixture itself, putting in a ring doorbell (which I decided to do midway through the work) and seeing every aspect through. Frank has said that he’s basically on call for any issues for a year, and he’s one of the few people I totally believe will see that through. Hopefully, I won’t need him again (nice guy, though, I’ll miss him), but I KNOW without a doubt, that if I do, he’ll be here.

This is electrical work, though, and I’m a dunce and don’t want any surprises with it. I will be using him again to complete a room here, but I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again no matter what. With electrical you get what you pay for, and I feel very, very satisfied that I was able to return to Power Up.

(And God laughed — the day after they finished, we had a lighting strike and power surge which froze my router completely — Frank was out after I replaced the router to make sure everything was taken care of. Just sayin’ this is where you want to be for major electrical work).

Niall was great. He was able to fix all the issues reported in the home inspection in a short amount of time. He was on time and professional. I would recommend to anyone need it repairs to use Power up Electric.

EXCELLENT service. Quick, friendly, and thorough. Their price was reasonable and they went the extra mile to make sure everything was right. They explained the process along the way and I will definitely hire them for future work. My technician was “Frank,” and he couldn’t have been easier to work with. The job was to replace an outdoor plug, but I spoke to him about hard-wiring, smart home devices, and recessed lights.

These guys are a class A operation all the way. I’ve owned/operated a home automation company in Los Angeles for the past 16 years, and so have worked with a number of different electricians. Last week, my wife and I were faced with a major electrical mess at a property we recently purchased. Since my usual “go-to guys” weren’t available, my wife found Power Up Electric on Angie’s List and asked me to call them for a quote. It was the best phone call I’ve made in a long time. I immediately felt like a VIP customer and was given an appointment the same day for a walkthrough and consultation. Gabriel, the owner, showed up himself for the consultation. He addressed all of my concerns and I was provided with a competitive not-to-exceed quote at the end of the walkthrough. More importantly, I felt that he genuinely cared about providing excellent customer service and I knew that he would make sure I was happy with everything before he considered the job to be completed. In my opinion, THIS is what makes an excellent service professional!
When an unforeseen issue came up which was technically part of the project scope but was also extra work that wasn’t accounted for, Gabriel and his team took care of it with a smile (and no additional charge). They even made a couple of last-minute changes for us without adding change orders. I can’t say enough about the professionalism, and good old-fashioned customer-first service that we received from Power Up Electric. They have my top recommendation!

I found Power Up Electric on Angie’s List. They had very high reviews on Angie’s List (Top of the class). I spoke with at least 6 electricians to get a quote on an extremely minor switch change. Most of the other electricians did not answer the phone right away, so I had to play phone tag with the majority of the electricians I called. When I called Power Up Electric, they answered the phone right away. In fact, every time I called, they answered the phone so that definitely sets them apart on that point alone. I spoke with Gabriel Chan on Monday and he made every effort to try to move his schedule around to come and see me the same day. He provided great service, his price was very fair. I received several quotes from quite a few electricians and Gabriel was the best quote.. Responsive, Fast, Great Service, Fair Price. I will definitely use Power Up Electric in the Future.

I finally found a professional, reliable, and friendly electrician in Paul Fania. As the manager of a Nob Hill apartment building, I frequently need to hire tradespeople to repair the aging facilities. I frequently get answering machines with no returned calls, missed appointments, late appointments, rude, sloppy, and incompetent technicians. Paul Fania is the complete opposite of that. He returned my call right away. Made a same-day appointment. Arrived on time. Explained everything to me in a friendly helpful manner. And solved the problem in no time at a reasonable rate. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul Fan ta and will definitely call him for all my electrical needs.
