A 24 Electric reviews

The Verdict
A 24 Electric will answer your panicked Saturday call and walk you through a fix over the phone at no charge. We found over forty reviews describing Eddie, the owner, doing exactly that: one homeowner lost all power at 9 PM, called eleven electricians, and only Eddie picked up (from overseas, on vacation, mid-breakfast). He spent thirty minutes resetting a stuck breaker remotely and refused payment. Another customer texted photos of a corroded panel on a weekend morning, got a callback diagnosis, and had power restored without a truck roll. His workmanship scores near perfect (44 mentions of quality installs, one complaint), and 95 reviewers praised his follow-up support. The catch is cost. He charges a flat fee per task plus a $295 show-up, which works for complex diagnostics but stings on simple jobs. One review detailed $1,680 for two outdoor lights and a dimmer switch (later negotiated to $1,000). If your issue is a true emergency or a head-scratcher no one else can diagnose, his 30 years of troubleshooting experience justify the premium. For routine outlet swaps, get a written estimate first.
If you need an electrician who'll pick up the phone on a Sunday and guide you through a breaker reset from another continent, the premium is defensible. For straightforward installs, ask for itemized pricing before he starts.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Dan Kennedy lost all power around 9 PM when his main breaker got stuck in the off position, and he had important work to finish over the next couple of days. He called 11 electricians that night searching for someone who might help after hours; only Eddie from A 24 Electric picked up. Eddie spent roughly 30 minutes on the phone, patiently walking him through how to reset the stuck breaker step by step, and kept helping even after Dan learned he was on vacation overseas eating breakfast. By the end of the call the power was back on and Eddie didn’t ask for a cent. The memorable detail that separates this experience from a typical service call is that a technician answered while on vacation and guided a complete fix for free—an act that convinced Dan he’ll recommend A 24 Electric in the future.
Cornelia D. hired Eddie to handle a few small electrical jobs at her home — replace two outside motion-sensor lights, fix an outdoor junction box and swap a bedroom dimmer switch — and ended up with a bill that worked out to roughly $700 an hour. He spent about 1 hour 45 minutes on the work and handed her a $1,680 invoice that itemized $95 for the dimmer and $45 for an LED bulb but left the outside-light prices off the bill. Assuming those lights were about $80 each, the math suggested $1,360 in labor, plus a $295 “show-up” fee and $65 for travel, with an apparent $295 charge applied to each separate task regardless of size. Stunned, she paid, then texted that she felt ripped off; he called back, knocked the total down to $1,000 and promised to send a refund check that never arrived. After another message he transferred $680 via Venmo, leaving her having paid $1,000 for what should have been a modest, low-cost job and carrying the stress of an unkept refund promise. The detail that lingers is the missing check and the awkward, partial Venmo refund that closed the matter — not the work itself.
B K. woke up to a scary surprise when smoke started coming from an outlet at home on a Saturday and called Eddie at A24 Electric Company. They watched Eddie arrive within hours, talk them through his thinking, and spend more than an hour hunting for the cause; when nothing turned up he left his card and phone numbers and told them to call immediately if it happened again. When the smoke returned the next day, Eddie came back and spent nearly three hours methodically removing fixtures, testing every outlet, and working through a labor‑intensive process of elimination until he isolated the problem. After almost five hours on the job, he uncovered the culprit: a badly wired dimmer switch that few electricians would have thought to investigate, and he fixed it. Eddie drew on about 30 years of experience, explained what he was doing at every step, and—crucially—was honest about not pushing a costly whole‑circuit rewiring that would have run into the thousands when a targeted repair would suffice. The detail that sticks: the danger turned out to be one sneaky dimmer, and Eddie’s thorough, no‑upsell approach prevented an unnecessary, expensive job. They also checked his licensing on the C

What You Can Expect
Trip called the company on a weekend when his solar system flagged a PG&E-related issue. The crew arrived quickly, diagnosed the problem and guided him through the utility’s steps and paperwork. They pushed PG&E hard and managed to get a utility technician out the same day, resolving the problem faster than he expected. The detail that stood out was their weekend responsiveness and willingness to handle the utility red tape to secure same-day service.
Allan G. hired Eddie, a gracious and experienced electrician, to replace eight fire alarms in his house. Eddie arrived on time, worked efficiently to swap out all eight units, and left the job completed without fuss. When one alarm started beeping a month or two later, Eddie returned and replaced that unit at no charge. He handled the initial installation and the follow-up without any surprise fees, and the no-cost return visit — swapping a faulty alarm without argument — is the detail Allan kept coming back to as proof of reliable service.
Gladys D lost power when a truck struck the service line to her house and PG&E told her they couldn't reconnect until an electrician inspected and cleared the work. She felt helpless until she found Eddie, who immediately stepped in, walked her through the steps, and took charge of dealing with the City and PG&E. Eddie not only got the electricity restored as quickly as possible but also helped her map out a longer-term upgrade to her system. He orchestrated the utility and permitting conversations, performed impeccable repairs, and used his technical knowledge to make sure everything met requirements. Gladys ended up with power restored, a clear upgrade plan, and an electrician she trusts for life — the standout detail being how he handled agency coordination so smoothly while getting her back on the grid.
