SV Electric reviews

Mike G. first called James to install an outdoor outlet on his Morgan Hill home — a quick, straightforward job James handled efficiently. A year later, when that outlet stopped working, James came back and replaced it at no charge; he appreciated that James stood behind the work rather than passing the problem off. Most recently James installed recessed lighting in three bedrooms, walking him through the plan, showing exactly what would be done, and pointing out important details along the way. James also recommended a few tweaks so the new fixtures would match the rest of the home’s lighting. Across small fixes and a larger install, the through-line was clear follow-through, practical explanations, and a willingness to own the outcome. He plans to keep James as his go-to electrician in Morgan Hill — what stuck was that dependable aftercare, not just a clean installation.

Don found James on ServiceMagic back in 2010 and hired him to install a whole-house fan and recommend products. He ended up with helpful product guidance, arbor lights wired with switches, a handful of problem plugs and miswired circuits fixed, and extra outlets and switches placed in attics and crawlspaces. James suggested a couple of small additions that made the attic light far more usable without bumping the bill much, arrived on time, worked cleanly, and left the house tidy — enough that Don felt comfortable leaving him alone and added him to his short list of electricians to call. Years later James returned to upgrade the service from 100A to 200A, repair the doorbell, and install lights inside and outside the garage. He patiently navigated the PG&E process and its delays, completed a professional job at a reasonable price, and demonstrated he could handle utility coordination as well as the wiring. By 2019, after Don moved into a new house, James replaced twenty CFL cans with LEDs, installed twenty more LED cans, mounted two 96-inch LED fixtures in the garage, and added a quad outlet on the garage wall where Don plans to set up a workbench. As before, James arrived on‑s,

When Alexandra first moved into her house nine years ago, she hired James to replace an outdated electrical panel — and kept calling him for every electrical job since. She relied on him for LED lighting and new garage outlets, to run new circuits and breakers for a hot tub, and most recently for a solar-panel installation last year. She liked that James treated the work like a craft: a perfectionist who completed clean, dependable installs and stuck by them. He avoided high-pressure upsells, recommended only what fit her situation, and followed through so problems didn’t linger. After a decade of projects that culminated with solar, the clearest takeaway for a prospective buyer is this specific combination: meticulous workmanship paired with straightforward, no‑pressure advice.

Shimon K. turned to James Service for a string of electrical jobs around his home — installing motion-sensor lighting, tracking down a faulty circuit breaker and other small fixes. He kept calling James because the work stayed solid and the bills ran noticeably lower than other electricians he’d checked. The detail that set the experience apart came two years after James installed a motion-sensor fixture that later started acting up: James replaced the unit at no charge, even though his original pricing had already been very reasonable. That combination of reliable workmanship, fair pricing and follow-through on a problem years later is the moment that lingered for him — the kind of aftercare that makes it easy to call James again.

Derek brought James from SV Electric into his home to install a Tesla wall charger and complete a solar installation. He walked away impressed — James handled both projects with steady professionalism, answered questions promptly, and showed clear electrical know-how. The responsiveness and technical expertise made the work straightforward, so for anyone planning an EV charger or a solar system, Derek points to James at SV Electric as the go‑to for detailed electrical projects.

James hired SV Electric to put solar panels on his house, upgrade the electrical with new subpanels, and install a Tesla charger — and he ended up with a flawless job finished on schedule. The team handled the full scope cleanly and efficiently, charged a very reasonable price, and left the property tidy and spotless when they were done. He walked away impressed by how meticulous and impeccable the work looked. The lasting takeaway: a single contractor completed panels, electrical upgrades, and EV charging on time with no mess.

Tina found James and his team remarkably fast, tidy, and professional when they installed her solar system. They completed the work quicker than she expected, left the property neat, and handled every detail with clear expertise. Her only regret was not making the switch sooner, and she’s already directing friends and neighbors to the company as a result.

Judy hired James and his crew to install more than 20 ceiling lights throughout her house, including fixtures up in a vaulted ceiling. She watched as he arrived on time, worked with a helper to finish on schedule, and followed up after the job. He handled the tricky vaulted-ceiling work cleanly, and the team left the rooms tidier than they found them. Judy plans to hire him again — the punctuality, careful cleanup, and solid follow-through are what made this installation stand out.

Jonathan hired James for two jobs at his home: first to install an outlet for charging an electric car, then to install a full solar system. He found James easy to talk with and appreciated the practical advice before the EV outlet went ahead, and the finished outlet matched his expectations. For the solar work, James walked the property and inspected everything in person before offering a quote, while another company had given a price after only eyeballing the site on Google Maps — and James’ estimate came in lower. The installation itself ran smoothly and finished exactly as planned; James made a point of avoiding visible conduit on the roof and walls, so the final look was clean and unobtrusive. He stayed organized and reachable by phone, text, and email throughout the process. The detail that stuck most was the combination of an on-site, lower-priced quote plus a neat, conduit-free installation that kept the roof and walls looking tidy.
