The Verdict

CA Sunrise Energy Solutions handles emergency electrical repairs fast, but consistency is the real gamble. We found 11 reviews describing same-day responses for urgent power outages, with one homeowner praising Roberto for diagnosing a panel issue in minutes, running to Ace Hardware for parts, and finishing the fix before dinner. Another client watched his crew rewire an entire house ahead of schedule, showing up early and staying late without complaint. But we also spotted a Thanksgiving-week breakdown where the team cut a phone line, no-showed on the promised repair date, lost the payment check, then took two weeks to circle back for a replacement. Seven reviewers hired them for solar installations and praised the one-stop-shop approach, though one ended up $10,000 over quote with a leaking ceiling Roberto initially blamed on the homeowner. The workmanship itself scores well when the job gets done, with 14 mentions of solid execution. The risk is operational follow-through: if something goes sideways mid-project, you may spend more time chasing callbacks than watching panels go up.

If you need a fast electrical fix and Roberto picks up the phone, you'll likely get same-day service at a fair price. If you're planning a solar install, get every cost and timeline detail in writing upfront, and confirm he'll handle punch-list items without a chase.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Rachel P.
Yelp | Jan 7, 2026 |

Rachel’s elderly parents were left without power just days before Thanksgiving, and CA Sunrise Construction first seemed like a quick fix: the crew came out the next day, diagnosed the issue, and returned again to install a temporary panel. But the situation unraveled almost immediately after payment changed hands. The work had cut a phone cable, and when the family called for help, they were promised a Thanksgiving-morning return that never happened. After a string of calls, they ended up paying someone else to repair the line so the parents could keep in touch with their doctors. The frustration kept building when Roberto failed to send the receipt, then later claimed he had lost the check and needed another one. Even after the original payment was canceled, it took more than two weeks before he finally contacted them to collect a replacement, leaving elderly parents with avoidable stress during an already difficult holiday week.

2. Lilian L.
Yelp | Sep 30, 2021 |

Lilian had CA Sunrise recommended by a friend, and Roberto Alvarado turned what could have been a stressful electrical problem into a same-day rescue. After she texted for help, he answered right away and arrived the very next day, 9/14/21, at her home. In just a few minutes, he figured out what was wrong at the panel, then headed to Ace Hardware for the part he needed and came back promptly to finish the repair. He kept the visit friendly and quick, charged a fair price for the turnaround, and left her with a home where the electrical current felt safe again.

3. Eddir D.
Yelp | Jun 16, 2017 |

Eddir went into the project expecting one price for the solar work, only to end up about $10,000 over the quote by the time the job was finished. After the installation, a ceiling leak showed up, and the company tried to put the blame back on him before eventually repairing the roof only after repeated calls and the threat of bringing in an attorney. What stood out most was how hard it became to get basic promises honored once the system was on the house.

Review Patterns

What You Can Expect

01

1. Keith R.
Yelp | Dec 10, 2025 |

Keith first brought Roberto in for a whole-house electrical upgrade, and the project turned out so well that he invited the same crew back for a full set of solar panels. The bid came in competitively, the workers showed up on time every day, and they kept the jobsite tidy by cleaning up before they left each evening. That kind of steady, no-drama follow-through was enough to turn one successful electrical project into a second job on the same home.

2. Cindy C.
Yelp | Apr 2, 2024 |

Cindy and her household were dealing with a full house rewiring, the kind of project that can turn a home upside down for days. Roberto ended up being the steady hand on the job: he answered every question, kept the communication open, and came across as both professional and easy to talk to. He was the sort of contractor who picked up the phone promptly and showed up early, then stayed late when the work called for it. His crew, Felix and Freddy, matched that pace by arriving early or right on time each day and putting in hard hours to get everything finished. What stood out most was how far they pushed to complete the work, leaving Cindy with a rewired home and the sense that the team had truly gone the extra mile.

3. Milo S.
Yelp | Nov 1, 2023 |

Milo, fresh into a new house with a handful of outdated outlets that needed replacing, found the kind of electrician experience people hope for but rarely get. After spotting strong Yelp reviews, he requested a quote and ended up with a fair estimate that stayed focused on what the home actually needed instead of turning into an upsell. The estimate came back quickly, and he was able to get an appointment on the calendar soon after. When the replacement day arrived, the crew showed up with three people and knocked out all seven outlets in about an hour, moving fast without cutting corners. Along the way, they also offered useful guidance about the wiring and outlet setup in the house, and the job finished with the kind of clean, professional work that left a good first impression in a new home.

02

1. Sandy G.
Yelp | Jan 1, 2023 |

Sandy G. ended up with exactly the kind of help you want when a storm knocks out your home’s electrical system: Mr. Alvarado came out on a stormy holiday weekend and got the house back up and running. He kept her informed about every piece of work that needed to be done, moved quickly, and handled the job with a professional touch at a fair rate. What stood out most was that he showed up when most people would have stayed home, turning a stressful outage into a fixed system by the end of the visit.

2. Lilian L.
Yelp | Sep 30, 2021 |

Lilian had CA Sunrise recommended by a friend, and Roberto Alvarado turned what could have been a stressful electrical problem into a same-day rescue. After she texted for help, he answered right away and arrived the very next day, 9/14/21, at her home. In just a few minutes, he figured out what was wrong at the panel, then headed to Ace Hardware for the part he needed and came back promptly to finish the repair. He kept the visit friendly and quick, charged a fair price for the turnaround, and left her with a home where the electrical current felt safe again.

03

1. C C.
Yelp | Mar 2, 2021 |

C.C. ended up with Roberto and his team handling a Tesla charger install that could have dragged on, but they wrapped it up in a single morning. What stood out most was how far Roberto went beyond the wiring: he secured the city permit, came back a couple of times to make sure everything was working, and even stayed through the full 12-to-2 inspector window just to meet with the city inspector himself. That kind of follow-through left the whole process feeling unusually hands-on, right down to the extra return visits after the job was already done.

2. Nick R.
Yelp | Jul 17, 2020 |

Nick needed a new electrical service set up for a Tesla charger, and Roberto and the Sunrise team handled it quickly without cutting corners. The price came in competitively, and Roberto took the time to lay out the available options clearly enough that the decision felt straightforward. What stood out most was how the job combined speed with real thoroughness, leaving Nick with a clean install and a clear sense of what he had paid for.

3. Allyn B.
Yelp | Jun 26, 2020 |

Allyn ended up with a same-day visit from Roberto just in time to keep a newly bought load of refrigerated and frozen food from going to waste. He got the electrical problem solved quickly and handled the job with a professional touch that stood out in the moment, when timing mattered most.
