Answered right away late on a holiday Friday. Really helpful and explained what could be the problem! Will definitely call again in the future.
These guys did an outstanding job installing my 50amp breaker and outlet to run my generator. Give them a call for any electrical work
We were impressed by Phil's can-do attitude. We called him to give us an estimate for the complete rewiring of our hundred year old, partially updated electrical system. He jumped right in to investigate wiring at the switches and electric panel. He is knowledgeable and his crew very capable. They did a great job, keeping us powered-up at the end of every day and keeping the job site orderly. It was a longer process than we expected but we're satisfied with the outcome and happy that we selected PSL Electric to do the work at our old house.
Background: PSL Electric was a subcontractor chosen by my contractor for a repair and remodel of my condominium in Oakland in 2020. Work consisted of reinstalling wiring and setting up new conduit, fixtures, and outlets. it was perhaps three days' work total.My experience: Phil and his associate were professional in terms of showing up on time and doing things deliberately, good with customer service by entertaining my questions and explaining in lay terms upcoming problems to solve and showed that they cared about adhering to code so that I could feel confident about safety and my ability to sell my home some day.I would have no reservations recommending them.
Phil and crew are the best. I used him to re-wire a dangerous unsupported panel in my garage, he did such great work, I now use him as my preferred electrician for all the properties I manage at my company Rockwell Properties Management. He has never let me down, has come out to fix tenant's problems immediately sometimes in the evening, and even working late hours and weekends to help us get things done in time for a tenant move in. He never up-sells, but always alerts me to the proper way things should be done, and any dangerous situations.
